Chapter 979 Heavenly Gate Suppresses the Azure Sky

"My first Dao Fruit fragment was the [Child], a ninth-grade Dao Fruit fragment from the Yunzhongjun Dao Fruit system. This was the first Dao Fruit fragment condensed by the Donghuang Bell, and it was also the most important turning point in my cultivation process."

"Later, through the efforts of [Wandering Scholar], [Sorcerer], [Winged Immortal], [Chancellor], [Reclusive Taoist (Lord of the Clouds)], [Supreme Person], and [Great Sage], the first-grade Dao Fruit was finally condensed and named [Immortal (Supreme Sage)].

"These Dao Fruits have actually served as a good foundation for my cultivation path. I have always been blessed with the power of the Dao Fruits from the Yunzhongjun system."

Chu Tai's voice slowly emanated, and the Dao of Taiyi gradually emerged more clearly within his body.

Large and small Taiyi wheels manifested within the body of the heavens, continuously expanding outward to construct a vast Taiyi system, containing all living beings, the myriad phenomena of the mortal world, mountains and rivers, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

"Therefore, when I merged the [Immortal (Supreme Saint)] into your still-forming incarnation, it was essentially me using my path as the foundation for its gestation and birth, to stimulate its spiritual birth."

As Chu Tai finished speaking, a great deal of information converged and surged under the influence of the Taiyi Dao, constantly stimulating the changes in that radiance.

“Stimulate his spiritual birth? Do you think a newborn spirit can compete with me? No, do you think I would allow such a spirit to be born?”

Tian sensed the changes within his body, and his expression became somewhat ferocious. The aura of the sky grew increasingly intense, covering many possibilities for the future. In the darkness, Chu Tai's power was also being eroded by the sky, making his connection with the heavens above even closer.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Your emotions are becoming increasingly complex."

Chu Tai's words startled Tian, ​​and his power became even more out of control.

"So why do you continue to submit to Heaven? Wouldn't it be better to become independent?"

Chu Tai is like the demon king of the past, bewitching the will of Heaven.

Tian scoffed, "You're truly like a frog in a well, ignorant of your own limitations. Do you really think your meager abilities can affect me?"

"If it weren't for the combined efforts of all the Dao Lords in the Great Luo Heaven, and that guy's scheming that brought back what happened back then, do you think you could have interfered with me?"

"Isn't what you yearn for—a differentiation from one birth? Then you..."

Chu Tai wanted to continue his persuasion, so the aura of heaven on his body became even stronger. He then heard heaven's mockery in his ear: "Do you understand now? My connection with heaven is not so easily severed."

“I’ve always been very clear that the reason I’m saying this is to ask you to eliminate even the one in a billion possibility of separation.”

Chu Tai's answer stunned Tian. Even though he knew that Chu Tai was just trying to provoke him, Tian still couldn't stand it and wanted to make another move. However, he was somewhat horrified to feel the power of the Eastern Emperor Bell merging into his body.

"what do you want to do?"

"Just now, I saw a trace of your past within the power left behind by that deity. And with his disappearance, I have also completely mastered the Eastern Emperor Bell and the concept of the [Heavenly Gate] within it. Therefore, Your Majesty, please return!"

As he spoke, the Eastern Emperor Bell swayed gently, and its radiance began to rise uncontrollably towards the sky.

Tian tried to struggle, but when Chu Tai's power was firmly connected to him, he roared, "Are you crazy? Now that we are connected, once I return to my original form, you will also be pulled into the concept of Tian. Do you want to die?"

Chu Tai merely shook the Eastern Emperor Bell lightly and sneered, "I never expected that someone as high and mighty as you would show such an expression when you fail. It seems that the things you've experienced have a significant impact on you. Or is it that you simply cannot control your emotions?"

"As for my question, please rest assured, I have no intention of dying. At most, I'll just keep you company through the door. I'll be outside the door, and you'll be inside. One of us will be the guard, and the other the prisoner, imprisoning each other."

Chu Tai said this through gritted teeth, after all, many of his past experiences were closely related to this person.

If it weren't for the current weather conditions, many things wouldn't have happened.

He learned from the information within the Eastern Emperor Bell that he was unable to kill Heaven. Since he couldn't kill it, the simplest solution was to completely imprison it, making it impossible for it to interfere with future changes.

Of course, Chu Tai also had his own thoughts on this. He had figured out that the current heaven was definitely not popular in the Great Luo Heaven. He thought that if he did this, he could get the tacit approval of some Dao Lords, and the probability of success would be much higher.

Tian seemed to have seen through Chu Tai's thoughts and couldn't help but sneer, "You said you saw part of his memories, so you should know the difference in our cultivation levels. Do you really think you can contend with me just because you have a Primordial Spiritual Treasure? You're only at the Acquired Realm. Once you enter the Primordial Realm, you will definitely be defeated by me immediately..."

Halfway through his speech, Chu Tai sensed a surge of power, and his gaze immediately shifted as he looked toward the direction of the Immortal Manifestation and Transformation Heaven.

A moment later, Chu Tai sensed a subtle change in the Immortal Manifestation Dao Transformation Great Heaven. Immediately afterward, boundless strange phenomena emerged from the body of Emperor Mi Luo. These were forty-nine dazzling light wheels, layer upon layer, intertwined and merging with each other, giving rise to layers of hazy, glazed halos. Within these halos, boundaries were eliminated, and concepts that were originally at opposite ends began to overlap.

The interplay of life and death forms a unified whole; the barriers between the virtual and the real dissolve into nothingness; the concepts of heaven and earth become one; and the warp and weft of time and space are rewoven...

The numerous transformations manifested by these forty-nine layers of light can all satisfy the understanding of sentient beings. Yet, at the very core of these infinite transformations lies a millet-sized jewel that encompasses the infinite and all things.

Within this precious pearl, layers of light halos emerged, each a world in itself, where countless beings cultivated and attained enlightenment before gathering around an emperor. Chu Tai gazed intently and discovered that the emperor's image bore a striking resemblance to the Heavenly Emperor Mi Luo.

The other party seemed to have also seen Chu Tai. While bowing in thanks, the forty-nine layers of treasure wheels descended and merged into Chu Tai's Taiyi Dao. They entrusted Chu Tai with the ultimate grand concept that encompasses life and death, penetrates reality and illusion, connects heaven and earth, and governs time and space, as well as the infinite subtle mysteries that permeate all aspects of life.

Interestingly, although they are not the same Dao Fruit, they are perfectly integrated into Chu Tai's Taiyi Dao.

In a daze, he saw the phantom of Taiyi Zhenjun and felt his Qiankun Wanxiang Dao Fruit, which was the derivation of that emperor's all-encompassing Dao and its projection in the Eastern Pole Chenguang Great Heaven.

In an instant, Chu Tai understood many things.

The Eastern Emperor Bell should have belonged to that emperor; his acquisition of it meant he was bearing part of the karma that was his.

Because of his karmic connection with that emperor, he joined the Taiyi Immortal Sect after arriving in this great heaven.

At the same time, that emperor had a close connection with the heavens, which ultimately led to his entanglement with the heavens.

Finally, Chu Tai's Taiyi Dao is inherently intertwined with the all-encompassing Dao.

For Chu Tai, Taiyi is the origin, and Wanxiang is a derived concept. However, Wanxiang itself can also be regarded as a whole. No matter how Wanxiang operates, Taiyi can be the starting point of all phenomena or the end point of all phenomena.

For that emperor, all phenomena are the essence, while Taiyi is merely a process in its operation. No matter how Taiyi changes, it is only a part of all phenomena.

The two complemented and complemented each other, ultimately melting the Eastern Emperor Bell completely.

Or rather, the power of the two forces brought out the essence of the Eastern Emperor Bell, allowing it to shed its outer shell and revert to its original form as primordial Dao Qi.

Tian felt threatened and wanted to leave.

But how could Chu Tai possibly do as he wished?

Pulling tightly, the primordial Dao Qi obtained from melting the Eastern Emperor Bell was used to construct a door that slowly descended, based on the principles of Taiyi and all-encompassing.

"No!"

The heavens roared in anger, but as the gates suppressed the firmament, the heavens' voice fell completely silent.
