I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 455: The future is uncertain, time and space are infinite, and the universe is infinite
Boom!

It was like a meteor falling from the sky and hitting the earth.

Jiang Chuan fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Where is this place?"

Jiang Chuan stood up from the ground and looked around.

What comes into view is a vast expanse of red earth, desolate and bleak.

The rabbit looked up at the dark night sky. "If nothing unexpected happens, this should be an uninhabited planet in the universe. However, rather than worrying about where we are, I think your most urgent priority is to heal your wounds."

Jiang Chuan was in a very miserable state at this moment. Not only was he severely injured by Xu Meng's magical powers, but he also cut his own soul in order to avoid the disaster.

Xu Meng's great Dao principles spread throughout Jiang Chuan's body, erasing his physical body and soul, making his aura so weak that it was even weaker than that of a true immortal.

Jiang Chuan nodded and activated the Dao Fruit and the Qiong Cang Dao Tree.

The chaotic energy in the sky descended from the void and enveloped his body.

[You activated the Dao Fruit and the Qiong Cang Dao Tree to heal yourself, but Xu Meng's strength is only one step away from the peak of the Immortal Emperor. Her Dao is truly indelible.]

[After half a century, you finally erased one-tenth of Xu Meng's Dao principles.]

[Normally, if you spend another four and a half decades, you can completely erase Xu Meng's Dao Rule.]

[But your spirit and body are far too weak. You feel you won't last more than four and a half decades before being completely annihilated.]

[Rabbit has a suggestion for you. Your Chaos Dao isn't strong, but you can refine external objects into Chaos Power, helping the Chaos Dao to erode Xu Meng's Dao.]

[This external object is the sun and moon in the starry sky. Refining the sun and moon evolved from the Yin-Yang Dao and reversing them into the power of chaos can help you heal your injuries.]

[If this were a normal situation, you might have hesitated, but since this is a simulation, you don't hesitate at all and directly adopt the rabbit's advice and begin devouring the sun and moon.]

[The three suns and three moons that made up this empty starry sky were directly swallowed by you.]

[You have transformed the three suns and three moons into the power of chaos, accelerating your healing speed.]

[You travel through the universe, constantly searching for the sun and the moon to devour.]

[The sun and moon in the starry sky are devoured by you, and refined into the power of chaos.]

[The vast majority of cultivators who break through the eleventh realm choose to ascend, or enter places with abundant innate spiritual energy such as the outer battlefield or the ruins of the world to practice.]

[After you devoured the sun and moon, many immortals in the starry sky wanted to attack you and stop you from devouring the sun and moon. But how could you be stopped by a group of immortals?]

[In just three days, you devoured the sun and moon in hundreds of starry skies.]

[By refining the sun and moon from hundreds of starry skies, you not only erased one-fifth of Xu Meng's Dao principles, but you also have a faint feeling that your own Chaos Dao is poised for further advancement.]

You continue to devour the sun and moon in the starry sky one by one. After you have devoured the sun and moon in three hundred starry skies, you will transform all the sun and moon into a chaotic lake, and use the chaotic lake to erase Xu Meng's Dao Law.

After evolving the Chaos Lake, Chaos Lake and Xu Mengdao continued to fight each other. Your mind was immersed in the evolution of the Chaos Dao, and all the things you had not understood before were now understood.

[There is a near-peak Immortal Emperor who exists to fight against chaos, revealing the mysteries of chaos before you. This is also a blessing for you.]

[Your mind was immersed in the evolution of the Chaos Dao. Half a century later, the Chaos Lake disappeared, and your Chaos Dao advanced further, breaking through to the eighth level of the Twelve Realms.]

[Looking at the one-third of Dao remaining in your body, you continue to search the starry sky to devour the sun and moon.]

[Because you have devoured hundreds of pieces of the sun and moon, your notoriety has shaken the world.]

The Immortal Realm was shocked. Many beings suspected that the Sun-Swallowing Immortal Emperor had returned, and they dispatched many True Immortals and Immortal Kings to the lower realms to capture you.

[With your skills, it's impossible for you to be caught by a group of True Immortals or Immortal Kings. You continue to devour the sun and the moon.]

[After swallowing another 200 pieces of starry sky, you continue to evolve the Chaos Lake and refine the Xu Meng Dao Law.]

[After three Jiazi years, you will successfully exit the customs.]

You used the Chaos Lake to fight against Xu Meng's Dao Principle, and after destroying Xu Meng's Dao Fruit, you retreated to comprehend the Chaos Principle on the Sky Dao Tree and the leaves of the Myriad Dao Tree, successfully raising your Chaos Dao Principle to the ninth level of the Twelve Realms.

[Even after recovering from your Dao injury, your body and soul were severely damaged, so you still haven't recovered to your peak.]

[You take out the Immortal Spring of Creation obtained from the Palace of the Cloud Gathering God and the Six Yin Purple Moon Pill obtained from the Heavenly Mansion and refine them.]

[Because you were so severely injured, refining a gourd of the Immortal Creation Spring and the Six Yin Purple Moon Pill would only restore your body and spirit to the mid-stage Immortal King realm.]

"If you hadn't left the Qinglin Jade Leaf Flower in Wangyu Mountain, it would have been able to recover to its peak." Ancestor Ziyun said as he shook his tail.

Jiang Chuan didn't care: "If you can't become a Daluo, how can you see the future clearly? Besides, it's not too late for us to return to the Qingyuan Realm now."

"At least a thousand years have passed since we left the Qingyuan Realm. The two realms should have merged into one. I wonder what the Qingyuan Realm looks like now?" The rabbit was a little curious.

"With your absence, the Qingyuan Realm has lost a strong man. It won't really be destroyed by the Xiantian God Clan and the Black Feather God, right?" Ancestor Ziyun expressed his guess.

"Taoist Yuan Heng, the Eternal Demon Lord, and Fang Qingting are not simple people."

Jiang Chuan paused and continued, "It's hard to say for sure, but if the Ancient Demon Lord recovers to his peak, he might be able to deal with Emperor Yang and Black Feather Divine Lord alone."

"Who was the Ancient Demon Lord in his previous life?" asked the rabbit.

"In the demon world, apart from the Demon Ancestor's disciples, who else dares to call himself the Demon Lord?"

Jiang Chuan recalled the various remarks made by the Ancient Demon Lord in Tianfu and his conversations with him and Taoist Yuan Heng.

"The word 'eternal' in the Daoist books means since ancient times, from ancient times to the present. He has actually already explained his origins very clearly."

"The Eternal Demon Lord is actually one of the five disciples of the Demon Ancestor!"

Rabbit was surprised: "Is he the reincarnation of the Sky-Crying Demon Lord, or the Three Realms Demon Lord, or the Nether Abyss Demon Lord who died in the Burial Emperor Land?"

"You'll have to ask fellow Demon Lord about this." Jiang Chuan couldn't guess which of the three Demon Lords the Eternal Demon Lord was the reincarnation of.

"But if the Eternal Demon Lord is the reincarnation of the Demon Ancestor's disciple, then whose reincarnation is Taoist Yuan Heng that he can suppress the Eternal Demon Lord?" Ancestor Ziyun tilted his head.

Rabbit said solemnly: "If it is the rumored Sky-Crying Demon Lord who has already reached the Daluo realm, then the origins of Taoist Yuan Heng are terrifying!"

"When the Demon Lord was on the Supreme Peak, he speculated that Taoist Yuan Heng was the reincarnation of a peak Immortal King or Immortal Emperor."

Jiang Chuan stroked his chin and expressed his guess: "If my guess is correct, he should be the reincarnation of one of the three demon lords, the Three Realms Demon Lord and the Nether Abyss Demon Lord, who died before reaching the peak of the thirteenth realm."

"If he truly had mastered the Great Dao, how could he possibly be suppressed by a peak Immortal King or the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor?"

"I'm suddenly even more worried about the Qingyuan Realm. Fang Qingting is still okay. The demons who participated in the battle against the Heavenly Court back then are most likely dead. But the enemies of the Eternal Demon Lord and Taoist Yuan Heng in their previous lives are harder to say."

Rabbit looked solemn: "If the origin of Qingyuan Realm cannot cover up its cause and effect, their powerful enemy will come to kill them, which may be more dangerous than the Xiantian God Clan!" "We'll know when we go back and take a look." Jiang Chuan said as he took a step forward.

Shrink to an inch!

Half a day later, Jiangchuan brought Rabbit and Old Ancestor Ziyun back to the starry sky near the Qingyuan Realm.

When Jiang Chuan arrived at the starry sky where the Qingyuan Realm was located, he was suddenly stunned.

Because the Qingyuan Realm has disappeared!
"The heavens have returned. After the two realms merged into one, the Qingyuan Realm has once again become one of the thirty-three heavens. Could it be that it has returned to the immortal world?"

"There are monks among the nearby stars. We'll find out if we go and ask." The rabbit said, pointing to the stars in the distance.

You didn't expect that upon returning to the Qingyuan Realm, it had vanished. You immediately began investigating.

[Once you have reached a nearby star, you immediately seek out the highest-level cultivator, a Ninth Realm cultivator named Wanmei Daoren, and ask him about it.]

[In the face of absolute strength, Taoist Wanmei can be said to know everything and speak without reservation.]

[According to Taoist Wanmei, the Qingyuan Realm flew away from this starry sky 30,000 years ago.]

[As for the rumor that he went to the fairyland, he didn't know whether he actually went to the fairyland or not.]

[You also asked about the victor of the Qingyuan Realm War. Taoist Wanmei said he didn't know, as it was too far away and there was no record in ancient books.]

After leaving this starry sky, you, Rabbit, and Purple Cloud Patriarch begin to discuss your next plan.

[The space-time you are in is, after all, just one possible future. Whether the future will actually turn out this way is itself unknown.]

The rabbit felt that going to the fairyland was meaningless, so it was better to return to the original time and space.

[You do have this plan, but you're still worried about the Wensheng lineage.]

You killed Deng Qiyuan, the ninth disciple of Wensheng. You knew you would inevitably bear the wrath of the Wensheng lineage. They might even have prepared a net, waiting for you to reenter the River of Time.

[Ancestor Ziyun offered her own advice, stating that while the Wensheng lineage was powerful, it was not, after all, a Wensheng.]

If the object in the Dark Star Sea is the Bitter Sea Bow, then after you obtain it, with a complete Bitter Sea Bow and a single Beyond Shore Arrow, it will be enough to kill all cultivators below the Daluo level, and all problems will be easily solved.

[You discovered that after Ancestor Ziyun became a congenital spiritual treasure spirit, his brain really worked better.]

[You immediately made up your mind and headed for the Dark Star Sea.]

[Half a day later, you arrive at the Dark Star Sea.]

The black mist was like a rolling wave, seemingly endless, covering the starry sky and swallowing the universe.

Rather than being an ocean, the entire dark star sea is more accurately described as an immense mist.

Jiang Chuan flew into the dark star sea and suddenly felt as if he had left the heavens and all worlds and arrived in an unfamiliar universe.

In this universe, there is no sky, no earth, no time, no space. It seems that nothing exists, yet it really exists.

"The Sky-Crying Demon Lord and Ke Shusheng should have been not far from the Great Luo realm back then. I've heard from the Demon-Slaying Aquarius that the essence of any Great Luo realm is actually equivalent to a universe."

Rabbit sighed, "Entering the Dark Star Sea is like entering another universe, completely different from our original world."

"The essence of Daluo is equivalent to a universe."

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly. "Even if Daluo possesses eternal freedom in all time and space, they still need to absorb the various forces in the universe. They can't create something out of nothing. If their essence is equivalent to a universe, then the universe we exist in must have been refined by Daluo long ago."

"I actually asked the Future Star King Buddha about this matter."

The rabbit answered, "According to what the Future Star King Buddha said, when he followed the Infinite King Buddha of the World to visit the Heaven Beyond Heaven, he heard Taiyi Daojun talk about how in the Endless Chaos Sea, many cultivators divided the universe into three levels."

"The Initial Universe, the Multiverse, and the Infinite Multiverse."

"Multiverse and Infinite Multiverse"

As someone who had spent decades on Earth, Jiang Chuan knew very well the meaning behind these two words.

Jiang Chuan raised his eyes, his gaze seemed to penetrate the dark sea of ​​stars, looking at the long river of time that evolved into countless futures.

"The future is uncertain, time and space are infinite, and the universe is infinite. If we divide it this way, wouldn't our universe be equivalent to an infinite multiverse?"

"That's right, our universe belongs to the infinite multiverse."

Rabbit nodded. "According to Taiyi Daojun, if it weren't for the Myriad Dao Tree, and if it weren't for the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon King Dao falling and anchoring the past, perhaps in the ancient times even more distant than the ancient times, when the universe was rumored to have just begun, this universe would have evolved into countless parallel, yet different, universes."

“The Tao truly has no limits!”

Jiang Chuan sighed, "At the end of cultivation, someone can actually be equivalent to an infinite multiverse. How great is that?! One day, I will definitely become such a being!"

hum!hum!hum!
As soon as he finished speaking, nine-colored rays of light lit up from the void.

The nine-colored lights intertwined and entangled, transforming into a towering, majestic and magnificent temple.

The palace is magnificent and golden, and the nine-colored tiles reflect dazzling light under the sunlight, just like the stars lighting up the sky.

The nine-tiered cloud ladder leads straight to the sky, and each step seems to condense the essence of heaven and earth.

Waves of heavenly music drifted in from the clouds, as if it were the music played by gods, making people feel peaceful and at peace, as if bathed in the spring breeze.

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly when he saw the three vigorous and powerful words of Lingxiao Hall on the vermilion plaque of the main hall, as if they could span the present, past and future and penetrate the eternity.

“After Ke Shusheng’s mind’s Dao Dao transformed into the Dark Star Sea, as long as the cultivator had a thought in his mind, it could evolve into whatever the cultivator wanted.”

"The Emperor of Heaven is actually equivalent to an infinite multiverse!" The rabbit was very surprised.

"The difference between a higher level of Taoism is like heaven and earth. Even the Green Emperor and the Eternal Emperor may not be able to see through the Heavenly Emperor, let alone Ke Shusheng, a cultivator at the thirteenth level? It should be the mind that evolved this universe, or the strongest person Ke Shusheng has ever seen." Jiang Chuan expressed his guess.

"In that case, should we go in and see the Emperor of Heaven?" asked Patriarch Ziyun.

“It seems we have no choice.”

Before Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he had already flown ten thousand miles to the left.

Lingxiao Palace was like a ghost, following Jiangchuan, moving across a distance of 100,000 miles, and continuing to stretch in front of him.

"Since there is no choice, then let me see how majestic this invincible ancient Heavenly Emperor is, who once subdued the Four Emperors, established the Heavenly Court, and controlled the Ten Thousand Dao Trees!"

With anticipation and curiosity, Jiang Chuan stepped towards the steps of Lingxiao Palace.
