I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 402 Are you guys going to fight to the death just for this?

"What's this?!"

Jiang Chuan looked up at the shadow that enveloped him and the long river of time.

A large silver-gray ship, full of holes and cracks, soon came into Jiangchuan's sight.

The ship was enormous, like a giant beast that could devour everything. Even Jiang Chuan felt insignificant in front of it.

"Such a huge ship, which powerful person refined this magic weapon?!" Ancestor Ziyun was stunned.

"The River of Time is extremely mysterious, it can even make an Immortal Emperor lose himself. Everything on it is not simple."

Rabbit said solemnly: "Let's go."

"I have detected the aura of the Sui Shi Immortal Emperor. Based on the appearance of the item, I have determined that this is the Changhe Boat refined by the Sui Shi Immortal Emperor."

At this moment, a hoarse sound like metal friction came from the silver-gray ship.

"A life form has been detected aboard the Changhe Boat, cultivating the three great ways of Chaos, Time, and Void. It is judged to be of high value and is being apprehended now."

As soon as the voice fell, long ropes that were green in color, shining like jade and carrying an ethereal charm, flew out from the silver-gray ship.

"This is the legendary immortal rope!"

The rabbit was horrified: "How can there be so many?!"

"run!"

Jiang Chuan didn't hesitate at all and directly chose to drive the Changhe Boat, but he was still a step too late.

The immortal rope seemed to have transcended the barriers of time and space, appearing directly in front of Jiang Chuan and trapping him.

"Jiang Chuan!"

"No! Take action!"

Just as Patriarch Ziyun and Rabbit were about to attack, they were tied up by the immortal rope.

Another rope just tied up Huang Yun, and then released her.

"It has been detected that the strength is too weak and poses no threat. No need to imprison."

Huang Yun: “.”

You discriminate against me, right?

When I become stronger, I will burn this broken rope of yours!

Patriarch Ziyun struggled desperately to break free, but found that he could not break free from the rope no matter what.

"Don't waste your energy. The immortal rope can only be broken free by relying on physical strength."

Rabbit said, "Among the three of us, Jiangchuan is the only one with a physical body, but his body is not strong enough, so it is impossible for him to break free from the binding rope."

"Sometimes, advancing too quickly in realm can also be a problem." Jiang Chuan sighed lightly.

The physical body and spiritual cultivation in the simulation cannot be taken out, so he just quickly improves his realm.

Now faced with the Immortal Binding Rope, he was actually helpless for a moment.

"Capture detected, recovery now underway."

Accompanied by a hoarse voice, it came out again.

Jiang Chuan was directly taken by the immortal rope and flew towards the silver-gray ship.

The deck of the large ship was sunken a thousand feet in the middle, and on top of the walls were densely packed cells.

There are many creatures imprisoned in these cells. Some of these creatures are human like Jiangchuan, some are strange creatures with bodies made of flames, and some are strange monsters with dragon heads, tiger bodies, and unicorn tails.

These creatures have different shapes, but they all have one thing in common: they are extremely powerful!
"Huh? Another unlucky guy has been caught."

"This unlucky guy doesn't seem to be a simple person! He seems to be the future successor of Buddha!"

"So what if I'm the future Buddha? Even if I'm caught on the Creation Divine Ship, I can't escape."

Seeing Jiang Chuan being captured, many creatures immediately started talking.

"The Divine Ship of Creation? Is this the Divine Ship of Creation?"

Jiang Chuan was very surprised. He never thought that he would be caught on the legendary Creation Ship.

He had seen records about the Divine Ship of Creation in the library left behind by the Future Star King Buddha.

The Divine Ship of Creation is a treasure bestowed by the Eternal Emperor of the ancient Heaven to his son, the Ghost Axe God.

The way of cultivation of the Ghost Axe God is the way of creation.

The so-called way of creation is the transformation and reorganization of all tangible and intangible things.

Life is the greatest miracle in the world.

The future is uncertain and has infinite possibilities. Life created by nature has infinite possibilities.

The Eternal Emperor bestowed the Divine Ship of Creation upon the Ghost Axe God so that he could capture the life that would be born in the future and use it to practice the way of creation.

Rabbit was puzzled. "Is this the Ship of Creation? But the Heavenly Court has been destroyed, and according to rumors, Ghost Axe God has also perished. How can the Ship of Creation still be functioning?"

"At that level, it's normal to be dead but not inflexible. Furthermore, I even suspect that Ghost Axe Divine Venerable's death isn't necessarily true. After all, his father is the Eternal Emperor. Can an emperor's son really die so easily?"

The one who answered the rabbit was a man with dragon horns on his head, the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake.

Jiang Chuan, Rabbit and others were locked up in a cell next to the man with a rope.

"What you said makes sense. My name is Jiangchuan. May I know what your name is?" Jiangchuan asked.

The man replied, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I was also a human before my reincarnation. Back then, I called myself the Cloud Dragon Sword Immortal."

"Fellow Daoist is the Cloud Dragon Sword Immortal. Before I became an immortal, I even obtained the Cloud Dragon Sword Art from you. I never thought I would have the chance to see you today."

Jiang Chuan also didn't expect that he would meet Yunlong Sword Immortal on the Creation Divine Ship, who was killed by Linglong Liuli Bodhisattva in six moves from Yue Yan's previous life.

Yunlong Sword Immortal said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, from now on, never say that you have obtained my Yunlong Sword Art."

"Does fellow Daoist have a serious karmic connection with some powerful people?" Jiang Chuan showed curiosity.

"It's not a big cause and effect, it's just that your swordsmanship level is too poor. If people knew that you learned my 'Cloud Dragon Sword Technique', they would think that it was my sword technique that was not good enough."

Jiangchuan: "."

Yueyan, where are you?
Now, immediately, come here and kill Yunlong Sword Immortal for me!
[After being imprisoned, three puppets soon arrived in front of your cell.]

You'll be surprised to discover that these three puppets are not only crafted from dark immortal gold, but also imprinted with the Immortal King's avenue. Their power is likely comparable to that of an Immortal King.

[I sighed that Ghost Axe Divine Venerable is indeed worthy of being the son of the Eternal Emperor. Even his puppets are as powerful as Immortal Kings.]

[The puppet untied you from the immortal rope, then cut your wrists, letting out blood.]

[After the puppet collected your blood, it walked out of the cell.]

[An hour later, another puppet made of bright immortal gold came over, carrying a tray.]

[On the tray, there were not only several bottles of elixirs, but also several ancient books.]

[The Bright Immortal Gold Puppet stated that you, a being with extremely high attainments in the ways of time, space, and chaos, are a rare sight in ancient times.]

"But your strength is too weak. If you could become an Immortal King, then under the transformation of the Great Dao, your life would undergo a leap forward, and you would become the top creature on the entire Creation Divine Ship."

You frowned as you listened, but still took the Bright Immortal Gold Puppet.

Then you looked at the books on the tray and discovered that among these ancient books, there was not only the "Taxu Immortal Scripture" forged by the Immortal Emperor Taxu, the "Void Art", one of the three thousand magical powers in the Heavenly Emperor Langhuan Library, but also the "Hunkong Divine Canon" of the ancient Heavenly Court Hunkong God.

[The Lord of Chaos is a deity who achieved enlightenment through the Way of Chaos. His strength is not impressive in the Heavenly Court, but his "Lord of Chaos Divine Canon" is a priceless treasure for a cultivator like you who has never obtained a copy of the Way of Chaos.]

[And you've also figured out the current situation. The reason why the Creation Divine Ship captured you is because they think you're worth studying.]

[I want to see what changes will occur to your life essence under the tempering of the great power of time, void, and chaos.]

[So, you began to comprehend the "Hunkong Divine Canon."]

Twenty years later, through your understanding of the "Chongkong Divine Canon" and the integration of the Chaos Dao into the Dao Fruit, you successfully elevated the Chaos Dao to the eighth level of the eleventh realm. At the same time, your own realm also reached the first level of the tenth realm.

[He also mastered the Chaos Divine Fist, Chaos Divine Thunder, and Universe Annihilation, all recorded in the "Chongkong Divine Canon."]

You continued to comprehend the Way of Chaos. After another sixty years, your Way of Chaos broke through again, surpassing the Way of Void and reaching the ninth level of the eleventh realm.

[At the same time, your own realm also breaks through to the second level of the Tenth Realm.]

[After the breakthrough, you continue to comprehend the Dao of Chaos, hoping to overcome this barrier that has blocked the Taisu Fairy, Xu Ming Immortal Venerable, and many other immortal sect masters.]

[After sixty years of contemplation, your Dao of Chaos has finally taken another small step forward, reaching a level comparable to the Dao of Time.]

[Another half decade has passed, and your practice still hasn't made the slightest progress.]

Ten years later, knowing you have reached a bottleneck, you choose to let go of the Way of Chaos and cultivate the Way of Emptiness.

[Through your understanding of the "Treading Immortal Scripture" and the "Void Art," your comprehension of the "Dark Sky Devouring Universe Scripture" and the "Future Star Scripture" has advanced.]

[Twenty-five years later, your Void Dao successfully breaks through to the ninth level of the eleventh realm. Your realm breaks through to the third level of the tenth realm.]

[The three paths of Chaos, Time, and Void have all reached the peak of the eleventh realm. At this moment, you are confident that even if you face an Immortal King who has just broken through to the twelfth realm, you can fight without relying on treasures such as the Great Sun Divine Bell.]

Another twenty years passed, and you stopped comprehending the Way of the Void. Over the past twenty years, you comprehended the Kunming Heavenly Demon Dao Fruit, the "Void Art," and other various scriptures and magical powers, but you still couldn't make any progress in the Way of the Void.

[In order to improve your strength, you took out the leaves of the Wandao Tree, which contains the Dao of Nothingness.]

[With your previous experience, it only took you half a month to refine the leaves of the Ten Thousand Dao Tree, which contained the Dao of Nothingness, and integrate the Dao of Nothingness contained within them into the Dao Fruit.]

[Your path of nothingness is only a hair's breadth away from becoming an immortal. Now that your true realm has reached the pinnacle of the eleventh realm, with this high-level perspective, you will soon break through this hair's breadth.]

[Three years later, your Way of Nothingness broke through a thin line and reached the first level of the eleventh realm. Your realm also broke through to the fourth level of the tenth realm.]

You continued to comprehend the Way of Nothingness. After another twenty years, your Way of Nothingness had reached the third level of the eleventh realm, and your own realm had also reached the sixth level of the tenth realm.

[Five years later, you feel like you've hit a wall. Then you take out the wooden box.]

[Relying on the Dao of Nothingness within the wooden box, you successfully overcame the bottleneck, breaking through to the fourth level of the eleventh realm.] [After another sixty years, your Dao of Nothingness broke through to the seventh level of the eleventh realm, and at the same time, your realm also broke through to the ninth level of the tenth realm.]

"Rabbit, what do you think if I trigger the Immortal Tribulation?"

Jiang Chuan asked in a voice transmission, "When the Immortal Tribulation arrives, sensing the auras of so many beings in the Eleventh or Twelfth Realm here, will it be terrified countless times and destroy the Creation Divine Ship?"

"Disaster!"

Rabbit shook his head: "From your situation, it is not difficult to tell that there must be a cultivator on the Creation Divine Ship who has broken through from the True Immortal to the Immortal King realm here."

"Even the calamity brought down by a True Immortal breaking through to the Immortal King realm didn't destroy this place. I suspect there must be a formation pattern here that blocks the energy. If you really were to undergo the calamity, I estimate that it would most likely only strike you down."

"A thousand years, only ten years left. All living things, prepare yourself."

Just as the man and the rabbit were communicating via telepathy, a puppet made of dark fairy gold came to the center of the circular prison.

Hearing the puppet's words, many powerful men in the prison became excited.

"A thousand years have finally passed! I hope that this time, I can become the ultimate winner!"

"It's finally about to begin! I can't wait!"

"I will definitely be in the top three this time!"

Jiang Chuan listened to the sounds ringing around him and felt a little confused.

"Fellow Daoist Yunlong, why are so many fellow Daoists so excited?"

"The Fortune Divine Ship holds a competition every thousand years. Its purpose is not only to put pressure on us and make us practice hard, but also to hopefully weed out those who don't practice hard and waste their elixirs."

Yunlong Sword Immortal explained: "And the top three in each competition can..."

"Can he be released?" Jiang Chuan interrupted Yunlong Sword Immortal.

“You will be qualified to be studied first.”

Jiangchuan: "."

No, just because I’m qualified to be studied first, you can fight to the death?

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, do you think this reward is a bit low?"

Yunlong Sword Immortal seemed to see what Jiang Chuan was thinking and spoke to himself, "Actually, this reward is not low at all. You have to know that the Creation Divine Ship is a treasure bestowed by the Eternal Emperor to the Ghost Axe Divine Lord. Not to mention the Immortal King, even the Immortal Emperor can capture it."

"The Divine Ship of Creation travels across the long river of time, shuttling between the infinite future and the past that has become a fixed destiny. The powerful beings it encounters are, if not as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges, then as numerous as the hairs on a cow."

"Before you came, Fairy Feifeng, who was released after being studied, told me that she waited for 800,000 years before being studied and releasing the Divine Ship of Creation."

"Eight hundred thousand years!"

Jiang Chuan took a breath of cold air.

You know, including the time he spent practicing in the simulation, it has not exceeded two thousand years.

Eight hundred thousand years is an astronomical figure for him!
Even in a simulation, you don't want to be trapped in the Creation Ship for eight hundred thousand years.

After hesitating for a while, you chose not to continue comprehending the Way of Nothingness, but instead picked up the elixir given to you by the Bright Immortal Gold Puppet and began to refine it.

[The reason you didn't continue to comprehend the Way of Nothingness is that you're worried that the causal relationship of the Immortal Tribulation will lead to the Taichi Immortal King, the Burial Immortal Emperor, the Black Feather God, or even Emperor Yang.]

[Facing these powerful ones, you will most likely die without a burial place.]

[The safest way is to leave here, return to the Qingyuan Realm, and rely on the Qingyuan Realm's essence to shield you from the tribulation.]

[The several bottles of elixirs that the Bright Immortal Gold Puppet brought you are all elixirs made from immortal herbs, and they contain tremendous medicinal power.]

[You swallowed and refined the two bottles of elixirs, and your own Yuan Shen successfully reached the peak of the eleventh realm.]

[Then you swallow the remaining bottle of elixir and use its medicinal power to refine your body.]

[Having refined only half a bottle of immortal pills, you have successfully broken through to the early stages of the Wuji realm in your cultivation of the Zhiyang Wuji body, and your physical body is comparable to that of an immortal weapon.]

[When you refine the other half of the elixir, your Infinite Yang Body will break through to the middle stage of the Infinite Realm.]

You activated the Dao Fruit, drawing upon the power of the four great Daos: the Dao of Time, the Dao of Void, the Dao of Chaos, and the Dao of Nothingness. Combined with the half-jar of blood essence left behind by the Eleventh Realm Demon Emperor you received from Elder Jingzhen, you ultimately succeeded in allowing the Zhiyang Wuji Body to break through to the late Wuji Realm.

The bright fairy light shines from the surface of Jiangchuan's strong and powerful body.

Sensing the terrifying power in his body that was enough to pick stars with a raise of his hand, Jiang Chuan smiled.

"My strength is now at an unprecedented peak!"

His four great ways are now far beyond those of ordinary True Immortals. His soul has reached the peak of True Immortal, his physical body surpasses many immortal artifacts, and his own Dao Fruit even possesses two middle thousand worlds.

Jiang Chuan doesn’t dare to speak about other realms, but in the realm of True Immortal, Jiang Chuan dares to say that he is invincible!

"Of all the eleven-level Buddhas I've seen in the Buddhist world, none can compare to you."

The image of the Future Constellation King Buddha emerged in Rabbit's mind: "Perhaps, you now can really be compared to the Future Constellation King Buddha during the Eleventh Realm."

If the rabbit's evaluation were to reach the Lord of the Buddhist world, it would surely cause an uproar!

Who is the future Star King Buddha?
The future leader of Buddhism chosen by the Buddha, the Infinite King of the World!

The supreme being of the fourteenth realm!

Jiang Chuan can be compared with the Future Star King Buddha of the same realm. This is simply the highest praise for a cultivator!

"No matter how strong the Eleventh Realm is, it is still only the Eleventh Realm."

Jiang Chuan sighed and said, "My current enemies are Black Feather Divine Lord, Emperor Yang and the others. If I don't reach the thirteenth realm, even if I reach the twelfth realm and am invincible, I will surely die!"

[You continue to practice. Three years later, with the appearance of more than ten puppets made of immortal golds of darkness, light, and the five elements, the competition officially begins.]

[The competition is divided into two rounds, the Eleventh Realm Round and the Twelfth Realm Round.]

Although the Creation Divine Ship travels through the long river of time, it does not only capture living beings within the long river of time. It travels through the long river of time and enters the world of infinite possible future derivatives to capture extraordinary creatures.

[Therefore, most of the people in the prison of the Creation Divine Ship are at the Eleventh Realm.]

[At the same time, in order to prevent magic weapons from affecting the results of the competition, the puppet announced that all cultivators were not allowed to use magic weapons and could only rely on their own strength.]

[You don't mind this, after all, with your strength, even without any magic weapon, you should be able to sweep away all enemies.]

【As the puppets drew lots, the competition began quickly.】

The first performers are a nine-headed dragon-lion and a deity conceived from the Great Sun's Fire Spirit.

The Nine-Headed Dragon Lion's father is a true dragon, and its mother is a nine-headed lion. Both are renowned mythical beasts.

[The Nine-Headed Dragon Lion not only inherited the power of its parents' bloodline, but also mutated its bloodline. Its nine heads can control the power of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness respectively.]

[The deities born from the Great Sun Fire Essence are equally extraordinary. After their birth, they forged many immortal fires into their bodies.]

[Just by looking at its body, you can feel a burning heat, as if you are about to be ignited.]

[As a cyan arena descended, the nine-headed dragon lion and the gods took the stage and engaged in a fierce battle.]

[The two sides exchanged blows, and soon the battle lasted over three thousand moves.]

[When the battle reached its ten thousandth move, the gods controlled the celestial fire that filled the sky and transformed it into a furnace in an attempt to refine the Nine-Headed Dragon Lion.]

[The nine-headed dragon lion breaks out of the furnace and severely injures the god with a dragon roar.]

[If the puppet hadn't acted in time, the god would have likely been annihilated.]

[But the Nine-Headed Dragon Lion did not do so without paying a price. His three heads were also shattered by the gods.]

[After the first battle, the second to take the stage was between the Cloud Dragon Sword Immortal and a Flower Immortal who had transformed into the Purple Sky Divine Flower.]

You've seen the Purple Sky Divine Flower before in Fairy Huaqiong's Divine Medicine Garden, but you never imagined that the Purple Sky Divine Flower would give birth to a spirit, embark on the path of cultivation, and eventually become an immortal.

[The Cloud Dragon Sword Immortal, worthy of being an immortal who has lived two lives, displayed terrifying sword and formation skills when facing the Flower Fairy.]

[Using the power of the world, evolve a huge sword formation.]

The terrifying might emanating from the sword formation made you feel a little frightened. You felt that even an ordinary peak True Immortal would have a headache facing this massive formation, but this sword formation was useless against the Flower Immortal.

Although the Flower Fairy is the incarnation of the Purple Sky Divine Flower, she does not follow the way of plants, the way of nature, or the way of life. Instead, she follows the way of domination.

[The way of ruling is to rule the heaven and earth, the great way, all living things, and all visible and invisible things with oneself.]

[Shrouded by the Dao of Domination, the long sword used by the Cloud Dragon Sword Immortal to construct the sword formation suddenly changed hands.]

[The Flower Fairy controlled the Yunlong Sword Fairy's sword formation and launched a fierce attack on Yunlong Sword Fairy.]

After holding on for two thousand moves, Yunlong Sword Immortal had no choice but to admit defeat.

You secretly sighed, the cultivators here are indeed chosen by the Creation Divine Ship. Each one of them is a genius among the True Immortals, and their strength surpasses that of ordinary cultivators of the same realm.

[The competition continues, with cultivators with powerful bloodlines or rare avenues appearing one after another to fight.]

[You even saw a pure-blooded star-eating beast that was specifically ordered to be killed by the Military Saint.]

[The confrontation between these creatures used many magical scriptures that you had only heard of in rumors, which was an eye-opener for you.]

[One of the beings even seemed to have received the Dao lineage of the Great Sky Emperor. The aura he displayed directly activated the Sky Dao Tree.]

You really want to have a conversation with him, and exchange the Ten Thousand Tribulations Demonic Scripture for the Sky Emperor's text, but you are helpless in prison.

[After one hundred and fifty-eight rounds of competition, your cell door was finally opened by the puppet.]

[You put down the Purple Cloud Patriarch in your arms, walked out of the prison door, and came to the competition arena.]

[Then another cell door opened, and a creature shrouded in black mist walked out.]

[This creature's appearance and figure could not be seen clearly. Through the black mist, only a pair of emerald green eyes could be seen.]

[At the same time, a deathly, gloomy, and evil aura emanated from him.]

[The creature jumps directly onto the stage and, at the puppet's command, attacks you directly.]
