Chapter 768: Number One Person under the Heavenly Dao
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Changsheng’s gaze pierced through the ocean and saw the Time Sequence Immortal Lord. He was wrapped in a ball of red light and was flying towards the ocean. A black needle the length of an arm floated in front of him, emitting an endless ominous aura.
He did not stop the Time Sequence Immortal Lord from fusing with the Chaos Divine Needle. That was his original plan. Even when he saw Punishment Jealousy, he did not change his mind.
Even though he could not see through the strength of Punishment Jealousy, it was obvious that he could not hurt him. The senses of a Primordial Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal were unimaginable to mortals. Moreover, if Punishment Jealousy really had the strength, he would not just speak to him like this.
Punishment Jealousy talked about other powerful orthodoxies in the boundless world. Even though those orthodoxies did not come from outside the boundless world like the Immortal Dao, there would still be existences among them that could threaten the will of the Great Dao.
“What do you think is the meaning of the existence of the boundless world? There are constantly people that want to challenge the Great Dao and create everything. What exactly is the purpose of the Great Dao?” Punishment Jealousy suddenly asked. It seemed like he was asking Jiang Changsheng, but in fact, he was asking himself.
Jiang Changsheng could not give an answer. He could only say, “I can accept the Chaos Divine Needle for the time being.”
Hearing this, Punishment Jealousy was instantly happy. He laughed and said, “Good, good, good. Finally, someone is willing. Those stupid guys rejected me one by one, but in the end, each one died more tragically than the other. If I can control the will of the Great Dao, the Immortal Dao will be the only orthodoxy that can help me govern the boundless world. Don’t worry, I will not lord over you. Compared to managing the boundless world, I only want to live.”
Jiang Changsheng nodded and asked, “Is the Chaos Ocean independent from the boundless world?”
That was what he was most concerned about. As he shuttled back and forth, he clearly felt that he had passed through an indescribable barrier. Previously, he thought that it was because they were too far apart, but now he suddenly felt that this was not the boundless world.
If it were the boundless world, could Punishment Jealousy escape the pursuit of the will of the Great Dao?
Perhaps the boundless world was really the Chaos Ocean in the past, but before the boundless world truly gave birth to heaven and earth, the Punishment Jealousy should have moved the Chaos Ocean to a place that the Great Dao could not capture.
“That’s right. This is indeed outside the boundless world. However, you don’t have to fantasize about it. Do you think you can escape outside the boundless world? Impossible. There’s nothing outside the boundless world. The reason why there’s nothing is because it’s not allowed to exist. Any existence that falls outside will disappear and cease to exist. I can only rely on the Chaos Ocean and barely hide here. However, after countless years of wear and tear, my strength is far inferior to before.”
At this point, Punishment Jealousy smiled bitterly. The stone statue clearly had no expression, but his voice carried sadness.
Jiang Changsheng pondered and said, “Then can I cultivate here?”
“Of course. You can come and go as you wish as long as you are willing to accept the power of the Chaos Divine Needle,” Punishment Jealousy answered.
He seemed to have noticed that Jiang Changsheng was unwilling to say anything else, so he flew into the clouds as if he had never appeared.
Jiang Changsheng looked down. The Time Sequence Immortal Lord flew out of the ocean with his eyes closed. Unknowingly, his right hand was holding the Chaos Divine Needle.
“Punishment Source, Punishment Jealousy, and the existence that controls the will of the Great Dao…”
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself. He did not expect the three supreme existences transformed from Dao to have conflicts with each other. However, it still made sense. If they did not have conflicts, how could the boundless world be in so much turmoil? Perhaps there were the orthodoxies supported by Punishment Source and Punishment Jealousy muddying the waters. The two of them were afraid of the most powerful incarnation of Dao.
He put away the Taishi Nirvana Spear and continued to sit cross-legged to comprehend the Chaos Ocean.
Even though this place was empty, the Chaos Ocean itself contained great fortune. He wanted to comprehend the Chaos Ocean to strengthen the Primordial Great Dao.
The Chaos Ocean did not care about the years.
Countless days passed.
After the Time Sequence Immortal Lord grasped the Chaos Divine Needle, Jiang Changsheng stood up and prepared to bring him back.
“Dao Ancestor, this needle…” The Time Sequence Immortal Lord looked at the supreme treasure in his hand and asked hesitantly.
The Chaos Divine Needle was too powerful. It was so powerful that even the Time Sequence Immortal Lord was filled with fear.
Jiang Changsheng did not hide anything and revealed the existence of Punishment Jealousy without holding back. He even mentioned the past of the Immortal Dao. The Time Sequence Immortal Lord was shocked when he heard that. He felt as if his understanding had been shattered.
“Hmph!”
A cold snort sounded from above the clouds. It was Punishment Jealousy.
He did not expect Jiang Changsheng to directly inform others of their conversation. Even though he was somewhat dissatisfied, he felt that Jiang Changsheng was different from those powerful existences in the past.
His cold snort confirmed Jiang Changsheng’s words, which shocked the Time Sequence Immortal Lord even more. He did not expect the Dao Ancestor to be so honest with him. In his excitement, he half-knelt and bowed with both hands. “Dao Ancestor, thank you for your guidance time and time again. I cannot repay you. I will…”
“It’s my responsibility to protect the Immortal Dao.”
Jiang Changsheng interrupted, making the Time Sequence Immortal Lord even more excited.
How could the Immortal Dao not be prosperous with such a Dao Ancestor?
Jiang Changsheng waved his sleeve and brought him out of the Chaos Ocean. They followed the route back to the boundless world and the future where they were.
Along the way, the Time Sequence Immortal Lord tried hard to calm down, but he could not help but look at the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor’s back was so imposing in his eyes that he swore to himself.
He must become an existence like the Dao Ancestor!
Soon, they returned to the Purple Cloud Palace. The Time Sequence Immortal Lord bowed respectfully and left.
“In the future, call me teacher.”
The Dao Ancestor’s voice sounded from behind him. The Time Sequence Immortal Lord trembled and hurriedly turned around to kowtow to Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng waved his sleeve and helped him up, indicating for him to leave.
Just like that, the Time Sequence Immortal Lord left with the Chaos Divine Needle.
The Chaos Divine Needle could summon the Chaos Ocean, which was extremely terrifying. However, Jiang Changsheng was not worried that the Immortal Dao would be destroyed because of this. The Immortal Dao was not something that could be destroyed by some powerful force. Even if most of it was destroyed, he had a way to recover it.
There was only one way to destroy the Immortal Dao, and that was to kill him!
Punishment Jealousy did not have such an ability for the time being!
The scene in the Purple Cloud Palace returned to normal. Mu Lingluo walked over and curiously asked him where he had taken the Time Sequence Immortal Lord. Even though they had only disappeared for a moment, she could tell that the aura of the Time Sequence Immortal Lord had changed greatly. This meant that they had been there for a long time.
Jiang Changsheng also did not hide anything and told Mu Lingluo everything that happened.
Rather than being shocked by the three incarnations of Dao one day, it was better to inform the public as soon as possible and let them make preparations in advance.
After Mu Lingluo heard that, she was not too shocked. She lamented, “When the peak of the Great Dao came to me, that voice made me feel that the Great Dao already had a will. As expected, I just don’t know who the peak of the Great Dao is.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Comprehend the Primordial Great Dao well. Sooner or later, you will see through it.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Mu Lingluo returned to her futon.
Jiang Changsheng sat down and looked at the boundless world.
In his eyes, the prosperous and boundless world was like a reflection of the moon in a mirror that could disappear at any time.
Ever since he obtained the Chaos Divine Needle, the Time Sequence Immortal Lord did not go into seclusion. He had been in seclusion in the Chaos Ocean for a long time, so there was no need for him to go into seclusion. With the Chaos Divine Needle in his hand, he continued to manage the order of space and time in the Immortal Dao.
The mighty figures of many sects discovered that he had become even more unreasonable and even a little rude. It was not until they heard the Time Sequence Immortal Lord calling the Dao Ancestor teacher that they understood the confidence of the Time Sequence Immortal Lord. When the news spread, it soon evolved into the Dao Ancestor being dissatisfied with the chaos in time and space and asking the Time Sequence Immortal Lord to govern on his behalf. For a moment, the merit sects and the rulers of various races began to strictly control this matter.
The chaos that had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years had finally ended.
Some prodigies began to challenge the Time Sequence Immortal Lord, and he did not reject them. No matter how different their seniority was, he was willing to accept any challenge. As a result, he had never tasted defeat.
Time passed.
Another million years passed, and no Dao Ghosts could be seen in the boundless world. Perhaps there were still Dao Ghosts in the Overlord Immortal Dao established by the Overlord Ancestor.
This year, Kong Que, who had been cultivating in the Purple Cloud Palace since he was young, challenged the Time Sequence Immortal Lord. The two of them arranged a battle in front of the All Heavens Great Dao Tree and even released time in advance to attract powerful experts to spectate the battle.
If it were anyone else, they would not have such a momentum. However, since Kong Que appeared out of nowhere, he had never tasted defeat.
Both of them were invincible experts and were both Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. They were even taught by the Dao Ancestor, so their battle was naturally eye-catching.
This battle was even crowned as the eternal battle for the number one person under the Heavenly Dao!
When ancient Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals like Kunlun Dao and the Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor no longer appeared in the world, the public gradually forgot about them. At the very least, it was hard to think of them usually. Kong Que and the Time Sequence Immortal Lord, who were active in the eyes of the public, were the representative of the top echelons of the Immortal Dao.
This battle was earth-shattering. Even the Ghost Gods in the Netherworld could feel it, and the Heavenly Dao resonated with it.
In the end, a winner could not be decided between them, and they agreed to fight again in another million years.
This battle had awakened the Time Sequence Immortal Lord. He seemed invincible in the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm, but in fact, there were countless prodigies in the Immortal Dao. There would always be someone stronger than him, so he could not slack off.
After the battle ended, Kong Que paid a visit to Bai Qi and was brought to the Purple Cloud Palace.
“Hahaha, Master, Que’er is awesome, right? That’s the Time Sequence Immortal Lord. Plus, he fought him when the Time Sequence Immortal Lord has a treasure that’s not inferior to a Heavenly Dao Supreme Treasure.” Bai Qi laughed proudly, as if she had fought a draw with the Time Sequence Immortal Lord.
She suspected that the Time Sequence Immortal Lord’s treasure was given to him by Jiang Changsheng. That was why she was proud of Kong Que’s performance.
Kong Que opened his mouth. He felt ashamed, but he was also afraid that he would embarrass Bai Qi.
Even though he was the Dao Ancestor’s disciple, he knew that if Bai Qi had not insisted on accepting him, he would not have had anything to do with the Purple Cloud Palace. Perhaps he could rise with his talents, but he could not have reached his current state.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Doesn’t Que’er also have one in his hands?”
Kong Que hastily cupped his fists and bowed, feeling ashamed.
Bai Qi curled her lips. Just as she was about to say more, she saw Jiang Changsheng raise her hand and could only shut her mouth.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Kong Que and asked, “You have also been to the Primordial World. What is your current Dao?”
Others might not know, but he was well aware of the reason why Kong Que was so powerful. Other than his own inheritance, his comprehension of the Primordial Great Dao was extremely high and could even be said to be unparalleled. Other than Gui Li, no one could compare to him in the Immortal Dao, including existences like Kunlun Dao, Ten Thousand Buddha Ancestor, Sovereign Jing Jue, Jiang Yi, Immortal Saint Wu Ji, and so on.
