The Supreme Being of the World, Starting from the Heaven-shattering Fuxi

Chapter 534 The Vanished Fuxi, the Perfect Man, the Lord of the Great Dao, and Above the Great Dao
Within the vast universe of "Covering the Sky," all was peaceful, but Ye Fan knew that a tremendous change had taken place in the distant highlands of Evil Land.

However, he did not know whether that upheaval was good or bad, or what impact it would have on Heaven or the world.

With his current level of cultivation, he cannot change anything, no matter what the influence is.

My primary goal right now is to become an immortal as soon as possible.

At this moment, he is studying how to transform himself in his second life.

Suddenly, a familiar aura appeared in the Divine Ruins Heavenly Court. Ye Fan's heart stirred. Why did the Ruthless Great Emperor suddenly come here?

My "younger sister" is a true homebody; she almost never leaves her house in the desolate forbidden area.

Since he attained the Dao and became an emperor, the Ruthless Great Emperor only "went out" once to survive the Immortal King Tribulation.

"Your Majesty, what is it?"

When the Ruthless Great Emperor does not appear before Ye Xi, Ye Fan will not address her as "sister".

"My brother is in trouble. It seems like I have fewer and fewer things about him in my mind."

"Brother?"

Upon hearing this term of address synonymous with "brother," Ye Fan immediately thought of the Great Emperor Fuxi.

Emperor Fuxi?

Ye Fan was suddenly stunned.

In his mind, Emperor Fuxi should be a unique and special emperor in the ancient times.

However, his impression of Emperor Fuxi was pitifully small. He only knew that he was an emperor in the early ancient period, possessed an imperial weapon called "Fuxi Dragon Stele", and had a supernatural power called "Dragon Roar Dao Shout".

And then, there was no further information.

"This is wrong!"

Ye Fan was shocked and began to recall his memories, trying to find more about Emperor Fuxi.

However, to his disappointment, Emperor Fuxi seemed to have vanished from his memory.

"It seems you've noticed this too. Go ask around in the chat group; cultivators from other worlds might be able to tell us a lot."

"Does the Emperor know I have a chat group?"

Ye Fan was surprised once again; he had never revealed this thing before.

"When Ye Qingxian came to this era, she met and talked with me once. I know some of the details."

Ye Fan nodded. According to the plot of "Sacred Ruins" revealed by Ji Boyi, the Ruthless Great Emperor and Ye Qingxian were almost master and disciple.

He quickly shared his special memories with all the members of the chat group and asked them about Emperor Fuxi.

[It's indeed strange. In our world, all cultivators below the Other Shore have almost no memory of the Jade Emperor, the Lord of Mount Tai, or the Boundless Heavenly Venerable.]

Of the Ten Celestial Venerables, they could only name nine, but none of them would deliberately try to find out who the tenth Celestial Venerable was.

The Heavenly Court and the Underworld still exist, but no one cares about the names of the Jade Emperor and the Lord of Mount Tai.

Meng Qi was the first to react and spoke in the group chat.

Immediately, Ji Boyi said, "I think Emperor Fuxi might be performing a ritual?"

He possessed a special supernatural power, yet he did not lose any memories of Feng Xi.

[I remember in the Sacred Ruins, after the Desolate Heavenly Emperor's sacrificial ceremony, many cultivators almost forgot his existence, even believing that he was a figure imagined by the ancients to quell the darkness and turmoil because the world had been too difficult.]

Meng Qi also realized: "That must be it. The cultivation system in your world is practically a path of life and death. I thought my father-in-law would choose to achieve Dao Fruit transcendence, but I didn't expect him to still go through the path of sacrifice."

Moreover, his sacrificial route was probably quite unusual. I didn't walk that route, so I can't judge.

After Meng Qi finished speaking, he told everyone about Emperor Fuxi, as well as the relationship between Ruthless Man, Ye Fan, and himself.

Other group members also began to add their own information.

After the chat ended, Ye Fan told the Ruthless Great Emperor everything he knew.

"A ritual for the Tao?"

After learning this news, the image of that "brother" in the mind of the Ruthless Great Emperor became deeply ingrained once again.

She didn't say anything more about Feng Xi's matter, but said to Ye Fan, "The path of transformation, at least once, requires upholding one's own Dao heart and Dao thoughts, and seeking rebirth in desperate situations."

“In the past, the Supreme Xuan Turtle obtained the Reverse Dao Scripture from his ‘brother’ and attained enlightenment at the same time as the Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing, and was known as the Xuan Emperor. None of his transformation methods were achieved by himself. Even if he became an immortal after nine lifetimes in the mortal world, his chances of becoming an Immortal King in the future were not much higher than those Great Emperors who took the path of True Immortal.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan nodded to indicate that he understood.

Regarding the path to immortality in the mortal world, Ye Fan consulted the Ruthless Great Emperor and also asked the other Great Emperors who were on the path to immortality in the mortal world. He knew of at least a dozen different transformation methods.

If one were to use these methods, achieving immortality in the mortal world would be no problem at all.

However, the words of the Ruthless Great Emperor made Ye Fan realize that his own research into transformation was superior to using the methods already established by his predecessors.

"Now that this world is at peace, I wish to go to that world that my brother calls 'eternal life' to cultivate for a period of time. There is an avatar of my brother there, and perhaps I can learn more about him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was extremely surprised.

He knew that the Ruthless Great Emperor had cultivated the Innate Dao God Technique within the "Humanity Supreme" in addition to the Secret Realm Technique, but he didn't know that she had even visited the "Eternal Life" world.

Soon, he remembered some things from the past.

Yi Zi once said that in the world of "Yang Shen", there is a ruthless empress who has never appeared in the "plot", and she is most likely the one.

The "Yang Shen" world has now been confirmed to be a small world beneath the "Eternal Life" world.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that the Ruthless Great Emperor once went to "Eternal Life" to cultivate.

"You should already know most of the cultivation methods of other systems from the 'chat group'. You can carefully consider whether to cultivate them and how to cultivate them."

"I understand."

Ye Fan had thought about this matter many times before.

Ultimately, he decided to stick to his original path and rely solely on the secret realm method to achieve immortality in the mortal world.

Actually, before becoming an emperor, Ye Fan didn't think this way.

However, when he became an emperor, he used the "Transformation of Others" method of the Desolate Heaven Emperor and sensed another "Ye Heaven Emperor". This made him think that he should first cultivate the secret realm method system and then get involved in other methods in the future.

After the Ruthless Great Emperor departed, Ye Fan continued to contemplate his transformation. From the "Covering the Sky" storyline, he already knew what kind of transformation the other Ye Fan was taking.

Ye Fan had actually read these few chapters many times: Emperor Ye, taking the elixir of immortality, undergoing Nirvana in the Kunlun Immortal Pool, witnessing the transformation of the humanoid immortal medicine, nurturing the Hundred Scriptures in the furnace to form a chaotic body, severing the chaotic body, dreaming of eternity, severing the holy body to become a mortal body, becoming an immortal in the mortal world...

He knew every single word in it by heart.

Among them, there are several transformation methods that Ye Fan can try again, but there are also several that he feels may not be suitable for him.

After all, his cultivation was not entirely the same as that of the other Ye Fan.

For example, one can try to experience the Chaotic Body by nurturing the Hundred Scriptures in the furnace, but after severing the Chaotic Body, one will directly become a mortal body, and there is no need to become a Saint Emperor again.

Observing the transformation of the humanoid immortal medicine is worth trying again, but there is no need to take the elixir of immortality unless you are in a desperate situation.

Moreover, Ye Fan learned from the Ruthless Great Emperor in his early years that the transformation in the mortal world is better in ten lifetimes than in nine. If possible, he should pursue becoming an immortal in ten lifetimes.

······
Within the cultivation system of the world where the Great Dao contends, there are three methods for achieving the realm of phenomena: upper, middle, and lower.

However, in his early years, Zhang Yan did not adopt these three methods. Instead, he found a way forward when there was no way forward and achieved the ultimate Dharma form.

His foundation for achieving the ultimate Dharma was "transforming the indifferent into a compassionate world," opening up a new Dharma for Donglai Continent, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was almost exhausted and there was no way to cultivate.

Thus, the celestial stars responded to its influence, and the nine provinces nourished its energy, thus creating the Supreme Dharma Grotto Heaven.

After Zhang Yan achieved the True Yang Realm, he ingeniously founded the "Yan" Sect.

Regardless of the system of cultivation, they are all interconnected.

With the foundation of the new method, the transmission of the "Yan" religion, and the understanding of the flawed identity of the broken jade in the land of the missing Dao, the Great Yan Dao was thus established.

The Nine Provinces are the lack of all existence, the lack of all things, and the lack of the Great Dao!
What is "deficiency"? Deficiency is change.

Only when such deficiencies exist can the Great Way be transformed and change occur.

It is precisely because of this deficiency in the Great Dao that cultivators are forced to constantly pursue perfection and higher realms; if this deficiency were eliminated, there would be no change, and the path of cultivation would come to an end.

The Dao of Creation can encompass all existence and even everything. When pushed to its limit, no great virtuous person can directly confront it, because this is the power of the Great Dao.

But Zhang Yan is different now; he takes the Nine Provinces as his foundation and represents change.

Holding a broken piece of jade symbolizes change and transformation.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yan seized the essence of the Dao and became the only cultivator who possessed the Dao.

In this world, excluding the two paths of "nothingness" and "sacrifice" brought by Feng Xi and the others, the Great Dao is divided into three: the path of Qi, the path of strength, and the path of law.

With all the great masters gone, he was now the only cultivator in charge of the Qi Dao, and the Power Dao was already in his hands, and now he had also obtained the Law Dao.

It can be said that the three fundamental principles of the Great Dao are all in Zhang Yan's hands.

At this moment, by taking advantage of the harmonious forces of the three paths, he has already glimpsed the Dao.

The so-called Qi, strength, and Dharma are nothing more than things that human cultivators or other beings born after birth develop through their own natural talents and the inheritance passed down from generation to generation during their cultivation.

The true essence is actually the Way of the Great Dao, which is what the spirit of creation holds.

At this moment, Zhang Yan had also comprehended the Dao, and his understanding was more complex than that of the Creation Spirit. He was now certain to win this battle of Dao.

However, at this moment, Zhang Yan faced two paths.

First, according to the Daoist chessboard, he became the ultimate victor, won the Spirit of Creation, and became the Lord of the Great Dao.

However, it's hard to say whether he truly controls the Great Dao or whether the Great Dao uses him as a puppet.

At least in Zhang Yan's view, the Spirit of Creation was more like a puppet of the Great Dao.

Therefore, Zhang Yan chose another path—to transcend the Great Dao!
This path, though it leads to the ultimate truth, is not the ultimate destination. Though it is the master of the Great Way, one is merely a passerby here, destined to depart in search of a higher realm.

Does a higher realm exist?

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, but he was thinking of Feng Xi, who had already been sacrificed to the Dao, and the broken jade in his hand that could still change continuously.

The path to enlightenment is endless!
In an instant, Zhang Yan made up his mind, and the starry river in front of him also changed slightly. He swung his sleeves, took a step, and soon arrived at the end of the starry river.

This is the end of all things, and also the end of the Great Way.

Without stopping, he walked up, turned around, and looked at the endless galaxy of the Great Dao floating before him. He could return to it at any time, but he had already transcended it.

At this moment, Zhang Yan has achieved the realm of a perfect man, that is, the master of the Great Dao, and can also go beyond the Great Dao.

This realm has existed in the imagination of many cultivators since the emergence of cultivation, and it is unknown whether it actually exists.

Therefore, those virtuous individuals who have reached the third stage of Refining the Spirit choose to comprehend the Essence of Creation. However, because the Essence of Creation is too perfect, many aspects cannot be understood. Therefore, they devised a method:
To bestow life upon the essence of creation, allowing it to personally communicate with them about the Great Dao.

As a result, the essence of creation shattered, and the spirit of creation was born, devouring several virtuous individuals. The Daoist Taiming merged with the energy of creation to prevent the spirit of creation from consuming these virtuous individuals. At the same time, the power of calamity erupted, contaminating the virtuous individuals and the spirit of creation, isolating them from the mortal world. Thus, the struggle between the two sides began.

Now that the game is over, Zhang Yan, the newcomer, is the first to grasp this opportunity and step into the realm he had imagined.

After Zhang Yan entered this realm, he inexplicably received some information, which was left in this realm by Feng Xi when he performed the sacrificial ceremony, specifically for him.

Among this information are details about the "Shushan" world, as well as the "Lord of the Stars" world, which was created by the Blissful World, which is on par with the Lingkong Heavenly Realm.

Of course, what pleased Zhang Yan even more was the variety of cultivation methods that were different from those in this world.

Although he had transcended the Great Dao, he understood that there was still a road ahead and he could not slacken his efforts.

Now that we are able to obtain cultivation methods from other systems, how could we not be happy?

Among the various cultivation methods left to him by Feng Xi, the ones that surprised Zhang Yan the most were the transcendence from Immortal Emperor to Sacrifice Dao, the transcendence of achieving Dao Fruit on the other shore, and the transcendence from Lord of the Dao Realm to True Primordial Origin, and so on.

After receiving these cultivation methods, Zhang Yan felt that he should try them all out.

As for the Buddhist method of transcending countless eons, Zhang Yan remained noncommittal, seemingly disliking this path by nature.

Subsequently, Zhang Yan, with the realm of the Lord of the Great Dao, resurrected all the virtuous ones who had been there before. The virtuous ones congratulated and thanked him one after another.

Zhang Yan discovered that the Grand Ancestor Tai Ming of the Mingcang Sect was not far from transcending the Great Dao, which made him even happier.

On the path of the Great Way, one must have both enemies and friends to avoid loneliness.

"Fellow Daoist, I am about to take the final step of my seclusion. I still need your help to resolve the situation of those three fellow Daoists."

Although Zhang Yan was a junior cultivator of the Mingcang Sect, Tai Ming Dao Ren still addressed him as "fellow Daoist".

Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Brother Feng has helped me, so I should help him in return."
