The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 266: Becoming a Great Sage
Chaos Ancient World
In a chaotic fairyland in the East, the air is filled with fairy air and auspicious colors are rising. In the dark yellow soil that is rich in essence, an old tree rises from the ground, its leaves swaying, and light filling the sky. An ancient tea tree of enlightenment takes root here, shining brightly.

Every leaf on it is different, there are a total of three thousand of them. Each leaf is surrounded by chaotic energy and filled with the rhythm of Tao. They are crystal clear and shining. Some are like small tripods, some are like small unicorns, and some are shaped like small Bagua.

Each leaf contains the charm of the Great Dao. Three thousand leaves sway and dance, like the manifestation of the Three Thousand Great Daos, shining with immortal brilliance and extremely brilliant.

The Chaos Fairyland in the Eastern Land is a place of residence specially prepared for the Azure Dragon's Immortal Elixir. The soil is made of divine objects such as the Xuanhuang Soil, Chaos Soil, and the Taichu Life Stone, and is catalyzed by the divinity of the Nuwa Stone to obtain the supreme fairyland.

Moreover, the East is ruled by the Azure Dragon, which belongs to the element of wood. It is a place where vitality gathers and is most suitable for the growth of medicinal plants and immortal plants.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo transplanted the Enlightenment Tree growing in the Immortal Palace and planted it in the Chaos Immortal Soil in the East to ensure its growth to the greatest extent.

Zhang Shuo sat upright under the ancient tea tree of Wudao, with the three thousand great ways of light shining down and the mist of Tao filling the air. The interwoven Tao and principles lingered around his body, leading the cultivator into a mysterious realm.

At the same time, the Jade Disc of Creation emitted a light of enlightenment within the sea of ​​consciousness, enveloping the little soul.

On the other side, the ancient Bodhi tree far away in Mount Xumi released infinite light of wisdom, which crossed the distant space, came behind Zhang Shuo's head, and gathered into a wheel of wisdom.

A leaf of the fairyland world tree above the nine heavens sparkles with spiritual brilliance. In the spiritual world's wisdom realm, the spirits of hundreds of millions of cultivators exist here. Bits of wisdom light flicker, and countless illusory human figures appear and disappear.

The wise and spiritual god appeared, and with a wave of his hand, billions of spiritual lights gathered into a galaxy, which traveled through the void and came under the ancient tea tree of Wudao, surrounding Zhang Shuo like a divine ring.

Zhang Shuo possesses a chaotic and creative Taoist body, and his ability to attain enlightenment far exceeds that of his peers. With the help of various external forces, he is able to attain the highest level of enlightenment in a short period of time.

At this moment, his mind was peaceful, like a clear mirror, as if the great way of heaven and earth was within reach, all the ultimate truths of the world were in his hands, and countless wonderful ideas were like endless stars, everything was available for him to take.

His will stepped into a wonderful world, and his pupils of creation flashed with chaotic light, as if containing the ancient universe, chaotic evolution, and myriad rays of light looming.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, and this chaotic world replicated everything about him, including his body, cultivation, and soul.

In a trance, another self, with his hands, drew various great paths, performing various magical arts and secret methods in this chaotic world.

All inspirations and fantastic ideas are brought out one by one, exposing all advantages and disadvantages.

The secret realm of the immortal platform in his body evolved billions of wisps of immortal light, and countless patterns were imprinted on the immortal platform, forming a vast and magnificent magic formation.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, an abnormality in a formation pattern caused the entire formation to collapse directly. The Xiantai secret realm was shattered by the power of the collapse of the formation, the human body secret realm collapsed completely, and the whole person exploded, setting off a huge wave of chaos and completely perishing.

But in the blink of an eye, the other self returned to normal, as if time had gone back and everything returned to its original appearance.

Afterwards, he continued to evolve his secret techniques in the Xiantai secret realm, performing whatever he thought of at will and putting all his inspirations into practice.

He takes the essence and discards the dross, combines the excellent contents of all inspirations, and constantly adjusts and changes them according to his own situation until he reaches the most perfect state at present.

This is a special state of enlightenment. In this state, Zhang Shuo can fully and selflessly interpret all his inspirations. His understanding and perfection of the art of taking away souls and changing fate is also rapidly improving.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Shuo slowly opened his eyes, his deep pupils sparkling with brilliant light.

"It finally worked."

Zhang Shuo, who had completed his enlightenment, slowly stood up, took a step forward, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Kunlun Star
In the ancestral land of the Divine Jade Holy Spirit, Zhang Shuo stepped into the place again, successfully entered the stone hall, and sat cross-legged on the Chaos Taoist platform.

"Seize the fortune of all spirits, unite them into one person, gather three thousand great ways, and achieve the one."

He uttered the Tao sound, and his hands moved along various avenues, performing forbidden methods.

The vast power of chaos surged out and transformed into a chaotic realm that spread out, covering the entire mineral world including the stone palace.

Countless mysterious tracks spread in all directions, connecting the entire mineral world. All spiritual essence flows along the divine patterns into the central stone hall.

A huge amount of spiritual essence poured into the stone hall, following the grooves on the ground and gathering on the chaotic platform.

"Om..."

Every inch of the Chaos Platform's veins was activated, and billions of spiritual essences converged and blended together, transforming into a cocoon of light that enveloped Zhang Shuo.

All the pores on his body dilated, and all 36,000 pores turned into tiny black holes, madly devouring the pure inspiration of creation.

The golden inspiration of creation merged into his body, spreading to his limbs and bones, nourishing every part of his flesh and blood, and then sank into the secret realm of the Immortal Platform.

The little soul in the sea of ​​consciousness space rose from the sea of ​​soul, carrying the Jade Disc of Creation, and also sank into the secret realm of the Immortal Platform.

In the secret realm of the human body, five vast immortal platforms fell above the nine heavens. Below, the giant dragon from the spinal column of the secret realm of dragon transformation hovered over the nine heavens, looking up at the immortal platform and emitting bursts of dragon roars, as if it would break through the nine heavens at any time and enter the immortal platform.

The three thousand great way origin runes are as bright as bright stars, shining brightly and distributed throughout the Xiantai secret realm.

Each of these runes is formed by the laws of the Tao, contains vast Taoist meanings, and represents Zhang Shuo's understanding of the Tao.

Witnessing the transformation of a ruthless man in the ancient forbidden land allowed Zhang Shuo to break the shackles of the Great Dao and shatter all the restraints of the Dao. With the insights of the Great Dao of the universe and hundreds of millions of cultivators, he gave birth to his own supreme Great Dao and obtained three thousand Great Dao runes.

However, because the Three Thousand Great Daos were too powerful, it was difficult for Zhang Shuo to combine the Three Thousand Supreme Runes into an Immortal Platform.

But now the time is right and everything can begin.

A huge amount of creative inspiration, like a vast golden ocean, poured into the secret realm of the Immortal Platform, submerging the five-level Immortal Platform and the three thousand great road runes.

The little soul walked out of the sea of ​​consciousness, immersed in the golden ocean of the fairyland secret realm, sat on the fifth level of the fairyland, and began to perform secret techniques.

It drew out great road tracks with its hands, and the inspiration of creation was aroused. Countless patterns appeared in the ocean, wrapping up the three thousand great road runes.

The golden patterns were like golden threads, interweaving and winding around each avenue rune, forming coffins to imprison the runes.

The little soul stretched out his left and right hands, and with a light move, he took the two unrestrained Dao runes into his palms.

"Chaos governs, nature harmonizes, the Tao and I become one, the three thousand great ways build the immortal platform!"

It holds the Chaos Rune in its left hand and the Creation Rune in its right hand. It swings its arms to draw a circle and combines the two into one to form an immortal platform.

"Boom!"

The moment chaos came into contact with creation, the boundless sea of ​​chaos exploded directly, like the creation of the world. Mysterious power spread out, covering the entire ocean of creation. The coffins of the Three Thousand Avenues were moved, and the Avenue roared.

"Om..."

Every coffin was trembling, and the runes of the great Dao inside quickly decomposed into endless patterns, and then rearranged themselves into a body.

The body in the coffin was clearly visible, and its appearance was exactly the same as Zhang Shuo himself. Every pore of flesh and blood contained mysterious Taoist meaning. It was the body of the Tao, the embodiment of Tao, and the supreme creation.

Unimaginable changes are taking place. The invisible avenue is transformed into a tangible Dao body, and the tangible Dao body is then refined into creation. It follows the golden lines and converges into the chaotic sea that created the world.

"Boom!"

The creations of the three thousand great ways converge in the Chaos Sea, constantly merging and evolving. A vast amount of creation inspiration pours into the Chaos Sea, and the ancient energy of ten thousand chaos rolls and boils, surging violently.

In the sea of ​​chaos, the little soul held the Jade Disc of Creation on his head. With a wave of his hands, nine-colored rays of light illuminated the chaos, blooming with infinite fairy light.

Three thousand Dao light balls gathered in front of him, and under the regulation of the nine-colored lights, they converged and blended into a Dao Wheel. The Dao Wheel contained endless traces of Dao, and each trace was a law of the Dao, mysterious and supreme.

When the Wheel of Dao took shape, the sea of ​​chaos began to shrink, constantly converging and blending, condensing into a vast immortal platform, like a magnified Wheel of Dao, with bright immortal clouds, lingering chaos, and the Dao was formed naturally. The sixth immortal platform was completed!

In the sixth-level immortal platform, the little soul is undergoing a transformation. A considerable portion of the vast amount of inspiration, under the guidance of the laws of the Tao, all flows into the body of the soul.

With the help of the inspiration of nature, the little soul broke through its limits and further improved and grew. It had an exquisite appearance that was exactly the same as its physical body, and a materialized soul body with the touch of flesh and blood.

But in the process of refining the Wheel of the Great Dao, the little soul inevitably experienced the destruction of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The flesh-and-blood body of the primordial spirit is covered with dense marks, and each mark is dazzling and bright, like the marks of swords and knives, containing terrifying power, and flowing with dazzling brilliance.

"what!"

The pain as if being cut by a thousand knives surged into my heart and my body trembled unconsciously. However, it was still unable to alleviate the agony that penetrated deeply into my will and I could only endure it silently.

After calming down for a long time, the little soul returned to the sea of ​​consciousness with the Jade Disc of Creation, sat cross-legged quietly on the sea of ​​soul, and tried to repair the scars in his body.

"Zheng!"

Zhang Shuo, sitting on the chaotic platform, opened his eyes. His brilliant golden gaze pierced through the void, leaving a terrifying mark.

“I have finally reached the sixth level of the Immortal Stage—the Great Saint Realm. Although there have been some unexpected events, I have successfully cultivated the five major secret realms of the Shrouding Heaven Secret Realm System.

Next, I will focus on creating the Dao and cultivating the Quasi-Emperor realm."

Zhang Shuo's eyes sparkled as he recalled the cultivation system of the Zhutian Universe.

There are only five secret realms in the secret realm system of the Zhutian universe, namely, the Wheel Sea, the Dao Palace, the Four Poles, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform.

Among them, there are only six levels of the Xiantai secret realm. Even in the complete Emperor Scripture, there are only the cultivation methods of the Sixth Level Xiantai, so the Sixth Level Xiantai is the pinnacle of the Shrouding Heaven Scripture.

Because in the previous life, some people speculated about the secret realm of Xiantai, and there were ideas such as the Seven-Layer Xiantai Emperor and the Eight-Layer Xiantai Red Dust Immortal.

When he first obtained the Xiantai scripture, he was curious to confirm how many levels the Xiantai secret realm had, and the answer he got was six.

As for the cultivation of the Quasi-Emperor realm, there is no need to continue to build the Immortal Platform, but instead turn to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm to activate the dragon in the human spine and prepare for the breakthrough to the Extreme Emperor.

To break through the realm of the Great Emperor, the Spine Dragon needs to carry the four great secret realms of the human body into the Xiantai secret realm together to complete the fusion of the five secret realms.

The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is located in the human spine. It connects to the Wheel Sea below and reaches the Immortal Platform above. It is the key point connecting the five secret realms. Therefore, activating the Nine-Layer Dragon Spine of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is the path of cultivation to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

"Now that I have completed the cultivation of the five secret realms, all I need to do next is to integrate the great path I have walked out of and create a cultivation system that is unique to me, and I will be able to break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm."

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Shuo stood up and left the stone hall. Next, he had to overcome the tribulation. He needed to fly deep into the outer space and find a dead star field to overcome the tribulation of the Great Sage realm.

In the Starry Sky

Zhang Shuo had been suppressing the aura in his body until he reached the dead star field and released it.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the naked eye could see countless heavenly thunders, flashing with colorful lightning, comparable to the vast sea of ​​stars, suddenly falling from the sky with world-destroying power.

At this moment, lightning shone in all directions, submerging everything in the starry sky. Infinite laws intertwined in the thunderclouds, and thunder and lightning surged like the sea.

The meteorites around were turned into powder, and some small stars nearby were also destroyed by the sea of ​​thunder. In this violent thunder and lightning, nothing existed anymore. The deafening thunder roared, magnificent and boundless.

This dead silent star field was instantly illuminated by lightning. Billions of thunderbolts poured out like a burst dam, submerging countless galaxies.

An extremely terrifying heavenly calamity suddenly descended, including the legendary catastrophes such as the chaos heavenly calamity, the Taoist soldier heavenly calamity, and the human-shaped heavenly calamity, one after another, endlessly, turning the entire star field into an empty starry sky.

The sea of ​​thunder was endless, and twelve imperial weapons fell down: the Human Emperor Seal, the Sun Tower, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot, the Demon Emperor Ruler, the Daoyan Divine Robe... They were all evolved by thunder and rushed towards Zhang Shuo.

"clank……"

Faced with the test of the Jidao ancestral weapon, Zhang Shuo directly summoned the Chaos Sword Box, and nine immortal swords came out at the same time. Sword energy raged, sword light illuminated the dark starry sky, and cut through the chaotic universe.

The Taoist soldiers of Thunder Tribulation were chopped and exploded one after another, and the Taoist laws copied from heaven and earth were also swallowed up by the Chaos Sword Box, becoming nourishment for the nine immortal swords.

Immediately afterwards, human-shaped thunder tribulations descended one after another. Twelve great emperors including Hengyu, Xukong, Nuwa, Fuxi, Shenzhou, Jiuli, and Taihuang appeared together, with tremendous power, and killed towards Zhang Shuo.

Facing the encirclement of human-shaped thunder tribulations, Zhang Shuo was not afraid at all. His golden blood energy spread out, covering the heavens and the universe. He swung his Immortal Fist, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist destroyed all the heroes.

After a battle, the twelve great emperors were killed by thunder, and the marks left by the heaven and earth were also eliminated.

But soon, a new human-shaped thunder tribulation came again, and other great emperors' thunder tribulations from the ancient times appeared together, followed by the ancient period and the mythological era.

Zhang Shuo killed all the humanoid thunder tribulations in the entire era of Shrouding the Sky before he successfully passed the test of the heavenly tribulation.

"Woo!"

The heavenly calamity dissipated, and Zhang Shuo sat upright in the void. When he opened his mouth, a celestial river appeared. The remaining thunder and starlight gathered into the Milky Way, poured into his body, and were refined into pure chaotic divine power.

After recovering, he did not leave in a hurry, but looked at the empty void. That was the place where he had detonated the Emperor's Thunder Tribulation.

“Why do I feel that when Emperor Zun was going through the tribulation just now, his human-shaped tribulation became much more agile?”

Zhang Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, various possibilities flashed through his mind, and then he did not stay any longer, turned around and left this empty star field.

Human Ancient Road Level 2

In the beautiful courtyard, a beautiful figure was swaying and dancing gracefully. Beside her was a pretty girl dressed as a maid, holding a fairy flower in her hand and telling something happily.

"Miss, I heard that Zhang Shuo has participated in the final trial of the first level and should reach the second level soon." said the maid Ling'er.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Ling'er." Fairy Qingshi smiled gently and took out a fairy flower and handed it to the maid.

"Miss, this...this is..." the maid asked in surprise but uncertainty.

"This is a fairy flower that can keep you young forever. It's a treasure I just got some time ago. I'm giving it to you as a gift." Fairy Qingshi said with a smile.

"This...Miss, this is too precious. Ling'er can't have it." The maid looked at the fairy flower in her hand with reluctance, and suppressed the heartache as she returned it to Fairy Qingshi.

"Okay, you silly Ling'er, since I'm giving it to you, just accept it." Looking at Ling'er who was reluctant but trying hard to suppress her desire, Fairy Qingshi's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of warmth. She interrupted her forcefully and stuffed the fairy flower into her hand.

"Hehe, thank you, miss." Seeing this, the maid no longer refused and happily accepted it.

Fairy Qingshi sat upright in the pavilion. She flipped her slender jade hand and a rustic wooden box appeared in her palm. It was covered with restrictions, as if a divine treasure was sealed inside.

"Miss, are we really going to do this?" The maid looked at the wooden box and said with some heartache.

"Okay, you little money-grubber, I don't feel sorry for you, so why should I feel sorry for you?" Fairy Qing Shi tapped Ling'er's head with amusement, then solemnly put the wooden box away, muttering to herself:
“I hope I didn’t make the wrong choice this time!”
