The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 455 The Sword of Annihilation, the Chan and Jie Sects

Others couldn't see it clearly, but Luo Zu, like other Taiyi Daluo, saw these changes clearly.

One by one, vast expanses of spacetime, as immense as the primordial universe, were born from some point in the future, then crashed before his eyes, shattering one by one, like drops of water hitting an iron wall and breaking apart.

Beneath these shattered fragments of time and space before his eyes, drops of time and space converge into a river, spreading outwards to the distant future.

He couldn't see that future clearly; it was as deep and dark as a gaping abyss that could swallow everything in the world.

Luo Zu observed and remained vigilant.

Because time is still moving backwards in the future, and it is moving incredibly fast, countless beings are "looking up" at the present.

Luo Zu even recognized some of the creatures, but most were strangers.

Moreover, he saw the future of humanity...dominating the primordial world.

At the same time, we also foresee a future dominated by other races, including the demon race that defeated the witch race, and the witch race that defeated the demon race, but more likely a future where the witch and demon races continue their current struggle for supremacy.

In addition, there is the future of the immortal sects dominating the primordial world.

These four types of future spacetime droplets are the most numerous; for example, the future dominated by humans in the primordial world may not even be one-thousandth of theirs.

However, none of these timelines were ever truly real, and upon colliding with the present primordial timeline, they immediately shattered.

The long river of time that those with great supernatural powers observe on a daily basis may be like this, with countless possibilities converging into the unknown, but among these countless possibilities, one will come true.

Luo Zu had never actually arrived at this place; he had only heard the Antarctic Immortal and a few Taiyi seniors recount some of the mysteries of time and space.

But it wasn't nearly as intuitive as it is now.

However, this scene could only be seen by Taiyi and Daluo. The fact that a mere Golden Immortal could observe these things clearly indicated that he had received special care from the Shangqing Sage.

Perhaps this is what the Sage Yuqing meant by "gift of gratitude".

Luo Zu was quite satisfied with this "thank you gift".

At least it allowed him to experience the spacetime concept of Taiyi, or even Daluo Dao Realm, in advance.

In fact, Golden Immortals exist on a completely different level compared to beings below them, and Taiyi is also vastly different from Golden Immortals below them. Standing outside of this world, how could a Golden Immortal possibly attack them?

However, Taiyi can attack Golden Immortals at will.

This is the difference between the two.

According to the Antarctic Immortal, the final stage of the Taiyi Dao Realm involves an ultimate leap, allowing one to transcend time and space and transform into a time-space creature, perhaps similar to a time worm...

Such a realm is truly unimaginable to Luo Zu now.

He was just a minor immortal.

Just as he was distracted by these timelines and only had time to record the approximate details and quantity of each drop of timeline, he suddenly discovered that the future timeline was decreasing at a certain moment.

Because he counted, he understood that although the future spacetime seemed infinite, it was actually finite.

For example, in the next instant of this moment, there will be 99.9 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion... multiple timelines.

There are many, but they are quantifiable, and the numbers are constantly increasing.

After observing for a long time, Luo Zu guessed that the primordial world had always been in its prime, which is why there were countless futures. Every living being would influence each other to create many futures, but not every living being could have a future. Only those who reached the level of True Immortals could influence a future. Other living beings would only be "corrected" by the inertia of time and space.

But after observing for an unknown period of time, Luo Zu discovered that the downstream of the linear river of time and space was shrinking, whether it was a future dominated by humans or a future dominated by witches, demons, and immortals.

Moreover, the multi-dimensional spacetime of this future point in time is becoming blurred, like pixels, making it impossible to see what is happening, and only allowing one to perceive the general situation.

Upon noticing this, Luo Zu panicked. He tried to examine the future timeline more closely, but couldn't make it clear.

It was as if an invisible wall was preventing him from "peeping".

The spacetime of the future is still shrinking, very slowly, and also very agonizingly.

Luo Zu's observations will not stop; he wants to see what the primordial world will be like when future spacetime shrinks into nothingness.

Destruction? Collapse? Or rebirth?

For a very long time.

Rumble.

Luo Zu stood on the current shore, looking at the nearly dried-up river of time and space, as if he could still hear it roaring.

129,600.

At this point, only a few possible futures remain.

The once mighty river is now reduced to ditches and streams, which are on the verge of drying up.

And this number is still decreasing.

Soon, he received the final result.

One.

There is only one kind of spacetime.

Simultaneously.

A blurry Taoist figure stood at the end of the final outcome.

We have no idea what race He is, what He looks like, or what His name or title is.

But all we saw was Him swinging his sword.

This sword is not that kind of sword; it could be called a sword, a knife, a spear, etc.

However, influenced by certain observational information, it was called a sword.

This sword came from the apocalypse, destroying the last type of future timeline, and in doing so, destroying two, three, six, nine... 126,000 types upstream...

In all future timelines, everything is likely to be destroyed.

Until this sword arrives in the present moment.

Approaching Luo Zu, between his brows.

A touch of scarlet blood seeped out from between his eyebrows.

This sword will destroy the world!

Endless information flooded into his mind, merging into his primordial spirit and true soul.

He didn't know whether what he observed was true or false, but this sword strike was indeed terrifying.

All matter, all the great Dao, all time and space, and even the many powerful beings and supernatural beings in the future time and space, are like bubbles in front of Him, easily burst, and cannot even utter a roar of resistance.

Only in the present time and space, with a sage presiding over it, is it impossible to completely eradicate it.

The strange phenomena that seemed to exist in multiple dimensions of time and space then vanished and never reformed.

The sage's sermon then came to an end.

The crowd seemed listless, as if they were all drunk.

Furthermore, Luo Zu noticed that there seemed to be a few more powerful individuals among the front row...

But he didn't know exactly which ones were added.

"The sermon is finished."

With the sage's words, the sermon officially came to an end.

As soon as the sermon ended, a voice of the Great Way was heard.

"I, Yuqing, hereby establish the Chan Sect."

All the beings who heard the teachings in Biyou Palace were greatly astonished.

Did the Sage Yuqing establish the Chan teachings?

What is the Chan School? What is a teaching?

They couldn't understand its meaning.

Is it like the Immortal Sect? Or like the Lich and Demon Clans?

"From this day forward, we will open our mountain gates wide and accept disciples to spread our teachings."

This statement made everyone understand the meaning of the Chan teaching.

But that's not the end.

Because the Shangqing Sage in Biyou Palace also spoke.

"I, Shangqing, now establish the Jie Sect."

However, the people waited for a long time but never heard the subsequent words of the Sage of Shangqing.

It's unclear whether they intend to open their doors to more disciples, or when they will begin accepting disciples.

But the extraordinary phenomenon of the sage preaching the Way has ended.

From the past to the future, that figure and voice that severed all ages vanished without leaving a trace in time, as if they had never existed.

Those beings who have received creation have already gained something, while those who have not received creation can slowly reflect on that time in their future cultivation, and perhaps they too can obtain this creation at some point.

In that dazed state, Luo Zu left Biyou Palace with the other powerful beings.

Seeing the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, he felt as if he were in another world.

That endless future still lingers in my mind, especially that sword strike...

This kept him from finding peace of mind.

Its appearance is terrifying, far from the unknown, and it overlaps between the known and the unknown, making it difficult for people to resist.

World destruction? World destruction!

However, his Great Dao is almost the opposite and contradictory to it.

However, it is only close, not the best or most perfect. Although it can be used, it is probably difficult to achieve the fifth step of the Golden Immortal.

Luo Zu then recalled that fellow Daoist who had failed to attain enlightenment in the Kunlun Mountains that day.

His cultivation of the Great Dao moved Luo Zu and also stirred the Great Dao of Existence.

He had also tried to explore this path, but he could not find the method.

Of course, it is easy to think of the existence of the opposite and contrary principles, but the method is hard to find and it is also hard to practice.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Duobao."

As he pondered, a group of colleagues were offering their congratulations.
