The 72 Sky-Breaking Beads were like 72 huge stars that floated in front of Jiang Changsheng, surrounding him in a large circle. In the face of the even larger Taiji diagram, all the nebulas in the Ultimate Boundary stopped. “72 Sky-Breaking Beads. Are they magical treasures of the Immortal Dao?”
Elder Tianji stared at the magical weapon in front of Jiang Changsheng with curiosity.
Ever since he discovered Jiang Changsheng’s existence, he had been filled with interest in the Immortal Dao because he could not deduce the future of the Immortal Dao. It had been a long time since he had encountered an existence he could not predict.
Jiang Changsheng and Martial Ancestor Nirvana did not waste any time. Both sides immediately attacked after they made their threats.
Martial Ancestor Nirvana waved his horsetail whisk and the Taiji diagram that had absorbed countless laws charged towards Jiang Changsheng with a domineering aura that could crush everything. It was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, it flew past Martial Ancestor Nirvana and arrived before the 72 Sky Breaking Beads.
Jiang Changsheng sat on the Divine Throne of the Great Dao Origin and clenched his right hand. The 72 Sky Breaking Beads suddenly rushed forward.
Boom—
The phantom image of the Taiji diagram was struck by the 72 Sky Breaking Beads and instantly dissipated. Martial Ancestor Nirvana’s Daoist robe fluttered and his mask instantly shattered, revealing a stunned face.
The 72 Sky Breaking Beads then condensed to a point and pierced through Martial Ancestor Nirvana’s body.
Martial Ancestor Nirvana trembled and did not have the time to react.
He widened his eyes, and his aged and scarred face was filled with disbelief.
The pale space shattered and returned to its original appearance in the Ultimate Boundary.
Elder Tianji also widened his eyes. He could not believe what he just saw.
The 72 Sky Breaking Beads appeared behind Martial Ancestor Nirvana and returned to the size of a thumb, forming an automatic spinning circle that emitted different colors of light.
“How is that possible… You’ve already reached the Heavenly Six Desires Realm? No… you’re definitely not in the Heavenly Six Desires Realm!”
Martial Ancestor Nirvana stared at Jiang Changsheng and asked in a trembling voice.
The moment the 72 Sky-Breaking Beads pierced through his body, his martial origin directly dissipated and his muscles and bones were broken. He could even feel his vitality rapidly depleting.
The Heavenly Six Desires?
Could this be the realm of the Heavens?
In that case, the Overturning Heaven Realm was higher than the Heavenly Six Desires Realm. The strength value of experts in the Heavenly Six Desires Realm was probably from 10 to 100 Heavenly Dao incense points.
Elder Tianji possessed the value of 52 Heavenly Dao incense points, but Martial Ancestor Nirvana’s attitude towards him was clearly of equals. This meant that 50 Heavenly Dao incense points was not a watershed point.
Jiang Changsheng was satisfied with the performance of the 72 Sky Breaking Beads. The gap between him and Martial Ancestor Nirvana was too huge, so there was no surprise about the winner. Therefore, he only wanted to test the effect of the 72 Sky Breaking Beads.
“Heavenly Six Desires? I am not a martial artist and do not know your realms.
This battle is over. Martial Ancestor, since you are already here, don’t leave!”
As soon as Jiang Changsheng finished speaking, the Purple Crystal Gourd flew out and opened its mouth. The 72 Sky Breaking Beads flew back and brought Martial Ancestor Nirvana back along the way before throwing him into the Purple Crystal Gourd. During this process, Martial Ancestor Nirvana could not resist at all.
Jiang Changsheng, whose strength value was nearly 200 Heavenly Dao incense points, fighting against Martial Ancestor Nirvana, whose strength value was only 20 Heavenly Dao incense points, was no different from fighting against a mortal.
The reason why he did not insta-kill Martial Ancestor Nirvana was because Jiang Changsheng had deliberately restrained himself. Otherwise, that strike would have been enough to destroy his body and soul.
Jiang Changsheng put away the Purple Crystal Gourd and glanced at Elder Tianji. That glance made Elder Tianji tremble in fear.
“How is this possible… How can he be so powerful? Could it be that he has reached the Overturning Heaven Realm? Impossible… Why would such an existence stay in the outer void…’
Elder Tianji’s heart was filled with uneasiness. He recalled the scene of the Dao Ancestor transcending the tribulation that day. Could that brilliant heavenly might be the Martial Dao’s attempt to suppress the calamity?
Even though he believed that he was stronger than Martial Ancestor Nirvana, he could not defeat him so easily.
Facing the Dao Ancestor’s gaze, Elder Tianji was in a dilemma. He did not dare to escape, but he did not know how to explain to the Dao Ancestor.
Was he really only here to spectate?
If it were him, he would not believe it either.
Jiang Changsheng was also thinking about how to deal with Elder Tianji. Would Elder Tianji have a backing? What was his purpose of staying in the Endless Void?
“Dao Ancestor, I know what you are thinking. I am not like Martial Ancestor
Nirvana who has a strong backing. I am staying in the Endless Void to survive. If you have anything you wish to know, I can tell you and I can forget what happened today.”
Elder Tianji braced himself and spoke. The situation was pressing, so he had no choice but to put down his arrogance and face the Dao Ancestor in a humble manner.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Oh? Survive? Are you hiding from something? Where are the Heavens of the Divine Martial Realm?”
Elder Tianji answered, “There is a limit to the lifespan of any realm. Even those in the Heavenly Six Desires Realm and the Overturning Heaven Realm will face the end of their limited lifespan and calamities. When they reach the Heavenly Six Desires Realm, they will head towards the Tongyou Sea to search for the origin of the Great Dao and seek a longer lifespan. I have also been there, but I offended an almost transcendent existence and had no choice but to escape.” The Tongyou Sea…
Jiang Changsheng made a mental note and asked, “Is the Martial Dao respected in the Tongyou Sea?”
Elder Tianji answered, “Reaching the realm of the Heavens is no longer the Martial Dao, but the Dao of laws. Cultivators with different laws are not of the same Dao, but the Martial Dao is the orthodox Dao of the current Heavenly
Dao. Even on the other side of the Tongyou Sea, the Heavens of the Divine Martial Realm are considered relatively powerful, but their ruling power is far inferior in the Endless Void. In addition, there are nine great guards in the Tongyou Sea that will stop the Heavens from returning to the Endless Void on a large scale to maintain order.”
“Regarding the other side of the Tongyou Sea, I am unable to convey it. This is the law of the Heavenly Dao in the Endless Void, and only you can understand it if you go there yourself. That is a place filled with infinite opportunities but extremely dark. It is even more sinister and cruel than the Endless Void.” Speaking of the Tongyou Sea, Elder Tianji’s tone revealed a trace of fear.
Jiang Changsheng naturally did not want to go to the Tongyou Sea. He did not lack lifespan. The Endless Void alone was enough for him to develop the Immortal Dao for countless years. There was no need to torture himself.
Since Elder Tianji sounded so sincere, Jiang Changsheng did not want to make things difficult for him. After all, Elder Tianji did not launch a sneak attack on him when he transcended the tribulation. No matter what Elder Tianji thought, at least he did so.
“I hope you can keep your word. You can leave now.”
Jiang Changsheng said calmly. He believed that Martial Ancestor Nirvana must have more information about the Tongyou Sea in his memories.
Elder Tianji felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He hastily bowed and left.
Jiang Changsheng jumped back into the Purple Cloud Palace.
Without anyone knowing, Martial Ancestor Nirvana had been captured.
He began to wait for the survival reward to be triggered. and soon. a notification appeared before his eyes.
[In the 2,500th year of the Preach Era, Martial Ancestor Nirvana made a move against you. You successfully survived his attack and survived a calamity. You have obtained the survival reward—Heavenly Dao Spirit Treasure, Taiji Xuandao Form.]
Taiji?
Did the system do that on purpose?
Jiang Changsheng immediately inherited the memories of the Taiji Xuandao Form and a huge amount of memories frantically entered his mind.
The Taiji Xuandao Form was created by a Saint using the energy of the Heavenly Dao. It was capable of both offense and defense and contained the power of Taiji. It was endless and could allow one to comprehend cultivation methods, spells, Divine Power, and so on from it. The Taiji Xuandao Form could also leave an eternal mark that could also be comprehended by all beings.
Jiang Changsheng seriously suspected that Celestial Venerable Nirvana had encountered the mark of the Taiji Xuandao Form.
If that conjecture was true, it meant that the Immortal Dao existed in this world and had only been erased by time.
Could it be that before the destruction of the Immortal Dao, a certain supreme existence integrated everything in the Immortal Dao into a survival system for the inheritor of the Immortal Dao?
Jiang Changsheng increasingly felt that the possibility of this guess was very high.
He immediately picked up the Purple Crystal Gourd. At that moment, Martial
Ancestor Nirvana was suppressed by the various restrictions in the gourd. The Dao Breaking Wind that was added some time ago had also prevented the Martial Ancestor Nirvana from condensing the Taiji phantom.
“What kind of wind is this? Why does it have such terrifying destructive power? Even my Taiji Heavenly Martial Arts cannot be used..
Martial Ancestor Nirvana sat above the sea of fire with a gloomy expression.
The indescribable torture and unknown fate made him feel unprecedented uneasiness. What confused him the most was the Dao Ancestor’s strength.
How could the Dao Ancestor be so powerful?
Could it be that the Dao Ancestor came from the Tongyou Sea?
Impossible, all existences above the Heavens aspired to live forever!
If not, could it be that the Dao Ancestor and the Yin Yang God were born from the Martial Dao calamity?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. He fell into an unprecedented state of self-blame. Before this battle, he used the Dao
Ancestor to open up the Myriad Daos Era and made everyone in the Martial Dao accept the existence of the Immortal Dao. Now that he was suppressed, how could the Martial Dao face the Immortal Dao?
Martial Ancestor Nirvana was in a mess.
At that moment, he saw a golden light and subconsciously looked up.
Coincidentally, he saw a golden vertical eye in the sky.
The moment their gazes met, Martial Ancestor Nirvana instantly fell into a trance.
Martial Ancestor Nirvana had the most memories Jiang Changsheng had ever encountered. However, he was no longer the same as before. He quickly searched for the memories before Martial Ancestor Nirvana returned to the Divine Martial Realm.
Soon, he saw the Tongyou Sea.
In the depths of the Endless Void, there was a cyan ocean lying in the dark void.
There was no end to it. At the edge of the cyan ocean, there was a huge stone door. A figure was meditating in front of the stone door. It was a man in broken armor with disheveled hair. One of his eyelids was obviously sunken and he had no eyeballs.
Could he be one of the nine guards that Elder Tianji mentioned?
The stone door lit up and Martial Ancestor Nirvana walked out.
As expected, Martial Ancestor Nirvana came from the Tongyou Sea.
Jiang Changsheng immediately pushed the memories of the Martial Ancestor Nirvana forward. In a flash, he followed him to a dark world.
The sky was pitch-black, the earth was vast, and there was no green anywhere.
Martial Ancestor Nirvana walked on this land as if he was searching for something.
This was the other end of the Tongyou Sea?
With that thought in mind, Jiang Changsheng continued to explore his memories.
As time passed, he learned that this world was only a huge world in the Tongyou Sea. It was the path to the other end, the mysterious realm that was chased and fought by the Heavens.
However, just as Jiang Changsheng was about to reach that domain, the memories of Martial Ancestor Nirvana were suddenly interrupted. In a flash, it was a scene from a long time ago.
No matter how he probed, he could not capture the memories on the other side of the Tongyou Sea..
