Immediately, Yin Tiande firmly declared, "Master, I will not relinquish the throne to you in this lifetime!"

"I'm looking forward to it!" Qin Tian smiled slightly. "Seeing that your Dao heart remains unchanged, I'm relieved."

"I'm looking forward to an opponent, a formidable foe who can rival me. The reason I took you as my disciple is because I saw your potential," Qin Tian said slowly. "I hope that one day you can fight me."

"I will!" Yin Tiande said with unwavering determination.

.........

After Yin Tiande left, Qin Tian continued his experiments, trying various methods to test their ability to develop human potential.

For example, one can condense the essence of a living being into a Hunyuan Golden Pill.

After all, once a golden pill is swallowed, my fate is no longer in the hands of heaven.

This statement had a profound impact on the people of the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, the final result was not satisfactory. After mastering the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit, the golden core was barely formed, but the development of potential was far inferior to that of the first secret realm.

This was undoubtedly a failure for Qin Tian.

Qin Tian exhaled a breath of turbid air. He had experimented with more than a dozen paths in a row, but they either failed or the potential development was far inferior to that of the First Secret Realm.

The series of failures made him put down his experiments and seriously consider his next steps.

Qin Tian's mind raced: "The ancestral aperture between my eyebrows has been opened, and my spiritual treasures have a place to reside. In future secret realms, I cannot simply focus on refining my spirit. Otherwise, if my spiritual power becomes too strong, the pressure on my physical body will inevitably increase exponentially."

"Profound wisdom is bound to cause harm, and the same applies to cultivation. Excessive spiritual power will inevitably lead to the decline of vital energy and blood."

"So the next secret realm requires us to tap into our physical strength." Qin Tian's eyes lit up.

"This is absolutely the best choice for the Yang God Method. It starts with the difficult and then moves to the easy, ensuring that every genius who steps onto the Yang God Path can go very far on this path."

After refining the spirit, it will be much easier to turn to refining the qi or the body.

"Sigh, take it slow." Qin Tian rubbed his temples. In his youth, he had made initial progress in exploring the potential of the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows and comprehended the ever-changing primordial spirit power.

It has been more than a decade since then that the method was truly created, and the first secret realm was opened up.

The second secret realm will likely take just as long to complete.

.........

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of heaven and earth; named, it is the mother of all things..." Yin Tiande sat upright on a cliff in the Bajing Palace, reciting the scriptures aloud.

Qin Tian instructed him not to focus too much on the killing techniques in the second half of the book.

The upper part is the general outline, the foundation that governs everything, containing great wisdom, great opportunities, and great supernatural powers.

The Tao Te Ching is not just an imperial scripture; the fact that this scripture has existed in both past and present lives speaks volumes.

Since both Earth and the world of "Covering the Sky" possess this scripture, it is likely that this "Tao Te Ching" exists in all the heavens and myriad realms.

This means that there must be an invincible Supreme Lord of Morality residing in the world, who incarnates as Lao Tzu and spreads the five thousand words of morality throughout the myriad realms.

The second half is merely Lao Tzu's own insights into this world, while the first half is shared by all the heavens and myriad worlds, containing supreme wisdom.

Qin Tian recites it seven times every day, and each time he recites it, he gains insights from his heart.

Clouds and mist rise and fall within the Eight Views Palace, the purple celestial palace resembling a divine realm, eternal and everlasting, with the vital energy of the Great Dao bursting forth, inspiring deep awe.

Holding five thousand words of morality in his hands, Yin Tiande sat quietly in the Eight Views Palace, the ancient Daoist sounds echoing in his ears, as if a deity was expounding the Great Dao and explaining the principles of Yin and Yang transformation. In an instant, he merged with the Dao and entered a state of oneness with heaven and man.

After a long while, Yin Tiande opened his eyes, and his temperament changed slightly. His originally sharp and aggressive aura gradually subsided, and a touch of peace appeared in his ruthlessness.

The realm of understanding remains the same, but the perspective has inexplicably broadened considerably, and one experiences a sense of transcendence and detachment.

"The highest principle is the Way; forgetting emotions does not mean being without emotions!"

"This is the correct answer!"

Yin Tiande murmured, "These five thousand words of morality truly contain great wisdom."

"Tianzhi, I have been too lenient with you all this time." Yin Tiande took a step forward, stood in front of his younger brother, raised his hand to suppress him, and sealed him in a treasure gourd.

“You act recklessly and domineeringly because you are my brother. One day you will suffer because of this. As your older brother, I cannot bear to see this happen.”

"Here are the five thousand words of Tao Te Ching. When you understand them, I will let you out." Yin Tiande sent the Tao Te Ching into the container.

The reason he had always indulged his younger brother was because he harbored some dark thoughts, regarding his brother as a stepping stone to the Great Dao, helping him reach the peak.

In the original novel, after Yin Tianzhi was killed by Ye Fan, Yin Tiande was not in a hurry. Instead, he continued his seclusion and rapidly advanced his cultivation.

What he severed most of was brotherhood, after all, the Dao of Reversal is not the orthodox path of severing the Dao.

The true path to severing emotional ties, memories, or anything else is the one that leads to enlightenment.

Now Qin Tian has also come to understand the essence of the so-called "severing the Dao," which is similar to his Supreme Dao Realm. By severing the emotions in one's heart, one can bring one's mind closer to the Great Dao, thereby crossing the path of severing the Dao and truly beginning to master the Great Dao.

The Holy Realm, on the other hand, organizes the Great Dao it has mastered into a framework, evolving its own order and its own Great Dao, thus forming a small world.

Both the Sage King and the Great Sage represent a process of strengthening the Great Dao, continuing to compile even more profound principles of the Great Dao, making that small world even more prosperous.

As for reversing the Great Dao, it means that if the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain and use my own strength to forcefully pull the Great Dao closer to myself, thus forcefully severing the Great Dao.

.........

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Tian had been staying in the Eight Views Palace, but no one underestimated him. For a cultivator, two years was just a blink of an eye.

Two years is not enough for Qin Tian's reputation to dissipate. In the understanding of the masses, it is normal for him to spend two or three years comprehending the unique laws of this planet after just arriving at a new place of life.

What's more, just two years ago, he single-handedly destroyed the Taiyin Cult. A great sect with a long history and all its resources were exhausted, yet it couldn't withstand Qin Tian's single hand. Such an outcome is astonishing.

People realized and vaguely speculated that the sage in the Eight Views Palace was of immeasurable strength and was probably not an ordinary sage. He was very likely to be the king among sages.

As for the higher-level Great Sages, they dared not presume to know.

After all, the strongest among them was only a Great Completion King, and it was difficult for them to see through Qin Tian's realm; they could only guess.

As for the destruction of the Taiyin heretical sect, it did not arouse any sense of shared hatred or indignation among Ziwei and others.

Because the Taiyin cult itself was inherently evil, it committed patricide and murdered its master, wiping out the descendants of the human queen. Now that it has been destroyed, countless people are applauding its demise.

On this day, a celestial change occurred.

A violent tremor resounded from the void of the ancient star Ziwei. Countless people looked up at the sky and saw a magnificent world from the outer void touching this ancient star and falling onto the Ziwei sky.

The evolution plan of the Yunmeng Realm is to expand from a single point to the entire surface. First, it will bring all the major life sources under its control, draw on the power of faith, and then spread it throughout the vast universe until it becomes a part of the universe, like an ancient and everlasting rule.

This is a world of immense vastness.

The heavens are adorned with countless stars, each one dazzling and a source of creation, all incorporated into the Yunmeng Realm.

Countless stars showered down their brilliance, and deep within the world, in the primordial space, a strange power flowed throughout the entire world.

That power scatters from the starry sky, originates from the thoughts of living beings, accumulates into water, gathers into the sea, settles between heaven and earth, and transforms into a boundless ocean.

In just two years, the Yunmeng Realm has collected a massive amount of faith power, creating what can be described as an endless sea of ​​faith.

However, this power of faith is not pure. Every drop of seawater contains impurities, such as the negative emotions of living beings when they die, and the resentment and anger from online arguments with netizens.

One by one, these things, mixed with the power of faith, made the sea surface anything but calm, with occasionally vengeful beasts formed from gathered resentment churning in the water.

One after another, monstrous beasts, resembling oxen and horses, rose from the seabed, roaring across the scene. But as soon as they appeared, they were bound by chains inscribed with mysterious runes.

The chains exuded a peaceful and serene Taoist aura, penetrating deep into the bodies of cattle, horses, and vengeful beasts to strip away their distracting thoughts, shatter their bodies, and thus purify their faith.

The purified power of faith will rise into the sky, transforming into a force that drives the evolution of the world and expands the scope of the Cloud Dream Realm.

As for the negative emotions that were cleansed out, they settled in another aspect of the Yunmeng Realm, which is the basis for their existence.

Underworld!

These negative emotions fall into the underworld, where they are washed away by the laws of reincarnation, transforming into a wisp of yin energy that nourishes the souls of the beings there.

As the Yunmeng Realm expands, the Underworld also expands, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

.........

Not long after the arrival of the Cloud Dream Realm, under Qin Tian's guidance, Yin Tiande stepped into a strange world, a spiritual universe standing above the boundless void.

All intelligent beings can reach this universe and project their divine thoughts into the Cloud Dream Realm.

Before Yin Tiande, the crowd was in an uproar, with countless beings shouting, "Welcome the new students! Welcome the new students!"

"Any newbies here? Can you help me cut the price?"

Every so often, a source of life merges into this world, thus giving rise to cultivators who specialize in guiding newcomers to life.

Yin Tiande curiously surveyed this incredibly vast world.

A cluster of buildings stretching to the horizon came into view, standing side by side, boundless and sacred.

"Is this what the teacher meant by 'education for all'? 'Everyone can become a dragon'?" Yin Tiande couldn't help but exclaim. He originally thought that Qin Tian's concept was just an idea, but he never expected that it was already more than half completed.

Countless living beings gathered within this realm.

After walking just a few streets, he saw various races with different forms, all of which were recorded in ancient books and had long since disappeared from the ancient star of Ziwei.

In this world, there are no star fields separating us, no barriers of time and space; there is only one enormous city that houses billions of living beings and countless stars.

Trillions of beings gather here, exchanging ideas; countless civilizations communicate here; the thoughts of different races collide here; the entire universe becomes a city; and the flames of wisdom burn here.

Some beings are selling information about the culture and geography of their star system, and many people are visiting them. For cultivators, being able to experience an alternative worldview is an excellent opportunity.

Yin Tiande also bought a copy, examined it carefully, and casually bought a copy of "Ten Must-Visit Locations for Beginners in Yunmeng Realm" and "Yunmeng Realm Strategy Guide".

In just two years, with the help of the cultivators at Hangu Pass, the Yunmeng Realm has expanded to an extremely terrifying extent, accommodating nearly ten thousand ancient stars, with trillions of beings living there, regarding it as their second home, and a preliminary order has been established within it.

"Great virtue, teacher!" Yin Tiande exclaimed, deeply moved as he thought of the Taoist scriptures and a Bible he had received upon logging in.

Leaving aside the Book of Emperors, a single volume of the Bible is a treasure that many people seek but cannot obtain.

Before he became an apprentice, even the news of the publication of a single copy of the Bible would alarm him, and he would travel thousands of miles to fight against a great enemy for that copy of the Bible.

But now, it's as simple as clicking to receive it, as long as you enter this spiritual world.

Of course, obtaining the subsequent scriptures would require a certain amount of merit and authority.

It is good to teach without discrimination, but it is necessary to teach with virtue. Otherwise, the Jie Sect is a cautionary tale. The reason why the Jie Sect was destroyed was not so much due to the general trend, but rather to the human heart. The Blood Transformation Divine Blade alone harmed countless lives, and that was only the tip of the iceberg of the Jie Sect's karma.

The number of virtuous individuals among the myriad immortals who came to pay homage remains unknown.

The idea of ​​education for all is excellent, but if it is not guided by morality, and as a result some people are born to harm the masses, then it is not a merit, but karma.

Therefore, when the Yunmeng Realm imparts cultivation scriptures, it must also consider the cultivator's karma. Qin Tian does not want anyone to use the power he gives them to do evil.

Of course, cultivators are inherently defying the heavens and competing with fellow cultivators for opportunities. It's normal to have karma, and the Yunmeng Realm doesn't reject it. However, having too much karma means that this person is either someone who kills holy spirits or someone who brings harm to all living beings.

The former is fine, but the latter, once discovered, will be kicked out of the Yunmeng Realm and will never be able to enter again.

Yin Tiande wasn't in a hurry to visit the so-called top ten must-see spots.

Instead, he leisurely strolled around this Cloud Dream Realm, where countless creatures competed for survival, and he experienced this unique world of mortals.

Seeing countless beings in Ziwei embark on cultivation and enter a path completely different from their original trajectory, his understanding of the Dao of Severing Path deepened.

Before finally arriving at the towering divine tower, Yin Tiande murmured, "Is this the place that must be conquered in the Yunmeng Realm?"

"Tower of Babel!"

There is a rumor in the Yunmeng Realm that once this Tower of Babel is fully opened, one's cultivation will surely reach a level that is all-encompassing. Therefore, this divine tower was named the Tower of Babel by the Lord of the Yunmeng Realm.

"It is said that these are all the opponents that the teacher once defeated!" Yin Tiande's peaceful aura disappeared, replaced by a sharp feeling, and a flame ignited in his eyes, a surging fighting spirit.

"I wonder which floor I can reach?" Yin Tiande muttered to himself.

This is a celestial tower resembling the intricate interplay of heaven and earth, like a pillar reaching to the heavens, towering thirty-three times the height of the heavens, flowing with a mysterious yellow luster.

"Is this a projection of Master's Xuanhuang Pagoda?"

The deity of the Nine-Layered Xuanhuang Pagoda merges with the thirty-three-layered divine pagoda, standing here, absorbing the fighting spirit of all living beings and containing a vast amount of faith power, thereby tempering the pagoda body and sublimating the deity.

Having witnessed countless laws and comprehended countless mysteries, these are imprinted on the tower, ultimately reaching the point of mastering all laws, understanding all laws yet remaining unaffected by them.

Yin Tiande stepped into the Tower of Babel and began to fight his enemies. After being trained by Qin Tian, ​​Yin Tiande was far superior to his contemporaries in the original work.

They were defeated on the twenty-eighth floor.

Of course, it wasn't Yin Tiande who defeated Di Ying in the previous levels.

Upon reaching the 22nd floor, the rules will change; you only need to survive for one hour against Emperor Shadow to clear the level.

After all, the young emperor that Qin Tian evolved into was exceptionally powerful, possessing as much as 90% of his peak combat strength. Moreover, he was more intelligent than the Thunder Tribulation Body and could even create corresponding secret techniques to counter enemies.

With such difficulty, if one has to defeat the opponent to pass the level, then very few people will be able to pass the twenty-third floor.
