That Blurry Figure Was Taiqing

Then, his gaze turned to the Moon Worship Sect Leader, who was deep in thought, and he said, "This journey to another world should have brought you considerable gains, shouldn’t it? Your cultivation has already reached the Golden Immortal of Grand Da Luo Realm, saving you at least many years of arduous cultivation.

However, without a suitable cultivation technique, your cultivation will likely end here.

At present, you have three choices. First, I can grant you a cultivation technique and help you advance directly to the Heavenly Dao Realm.

But the road beyond the Heavenly Dao will be even more difficult.

Second, I can send you to the Fantasy World. You should know what kind of place that is.

If you are willing, I can send you there right now. As for what you can comprehend there and whether you can forge a new path, that will depend on your own fortune.

The third choice is, in a sense, the hardest of the three paths.

This path is for me to provide you with sufficient resources, allowing you to travel the world and explore a cultivation path that belongs to you.

This path is somewhat similar to the second, but it is clearly more difficult because it requires a greater investment of time."

After pondering for a moment, Baiyue replied, "I choose the third path!

At first, I did lean toward the second path, but now that I can see some of its essence clearly, the second path is rather troublesome for me.

Even if Master is countless times stronger than me, if one day I can see through the Fantasy World, wouldn’t all my previous efforts have been wasted?

As for the first path, to be honest, I feel that Master probably does not wish for me to embark on such a path with an uncertain future.

Only a path I carve out myself can put my mind at ease!"

Baiyue had always been proud, and he was no different now!

He did not want to take an ordinary path. He wanted to create his own Dao and establish his own laws!

To become stronger, one had to put in the corresponding effort.

He understood this deeply, which was why he had remained in the Marvel World for many years and learned knowledge and principles far beyond what he had known before.

Although his cultivation had only reached the Golden Immortal of Grand Da Luo level, he was full of confidence in his own strength. He even believed that no one within the same realm could defeat him.

In his view, if he could not become invincible within his realm, then he had failed.

He never concealed his pride. He knew clearly what he should do and what he should not do, and he understood even more clearly what the path he had chosen meant.

Although this path was the most difficult, it was the strongest among the three.

If he could persevere, then after succeeding, his strength would far surpass that of the other two paths.

"Your insight is good, but unfortunately, understanding something does not necessarily mean making the right choice.

The path concerns one’s foundation, so it must be chosen carefully.

Though the three paths differ in strength, the key is whether they can be traversed.

If a path cannot be walked, then no matter how strong it is, it is useless. If it can be walked, then even a weaker path is stronger than one that cannot.

The final choice must still be yours. Are you sure you wish to take the third path?"

Taiqing’s words struck directly at the heart of the matter.

Baiyue answered without wavering, "Of course! Even if it is covered in thorns, I will not regret it.

Even if I fail, I will have no regrets."

"For me, if I cannot become the strongest among those in the same realm, then what meaning does my cultivation hold?"

Hearing his disciple’s proud answer, Taiqing smiled faintly and said, "Very good! You did not hesitate in the slightest. It seems you have already decided to walk this path to its very end."

"It seems you are well suited to this path, but whether you can continue along it will depend on your own efforts.

After all, this is your Dao!"

After saying this, Taiqing looked at Baiyue, who had fallen into deep thought, and drifted away.

Since Baiyue had already made his choice, there was no need for him to say more at this moment.

In his view, cultivation was often a matter of the master leading one through the door, while further progress depended on the individual.

He had already guided Baiyue through the door and had even pointed out the direction of the path.

As for which path Baiyue would ultimately choose, that would still depend on himself. Taiqing was unwilling to interfere, and he disdained doing so.

Because the right to choose belonged to Baiyue…

The days that followed were destined to be plain and tedious.

After paving the way for his disciple, the first thing he needed to do was stabilize his own cultivation.

Although he was already a cultivator at the Heavenly Dao Realm Seventh Layer, his current cultivation was not stable.

If he encountered an intense battle, his realm might fall drastically. Thus, stabilizing his cultivation was his most important task at present.

Clearly, this would take time!

Three months later, Taiqing finally succeeded in stabilizing his cultivation, and his realm would no longer regress.

A smile appeared on his face as he began considering the next world he needed to merge.

After all, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable had surely not been idle these past years, while Taiqing had clearly fallen far behind him.

Therefore, he had to quicken his pace this time!

Although he was already close to the Mythical Realm, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable’s progress was equally rapid.

The Primordial Chaos Divine Realm was about to recover completely. When that time came, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable would certainly not spare Taiqing.

At present, Taiqing could contend with him, but he held no absolute advantage.

He had to continue strengthening himself.

Only by gaining absolute dominance in battle could he defeat his opponent.

If they were merely evenly matched, then it would still be a failure to him.

Baiyue and Taiqing truly were master and disciple, both so proud.

Thinking of Baiyue, who resembled himself, Taiqing broke into a smile.

Then, he projected an avatar into the world he had chosen…

Wugeng World.

This was a place where the Divine Race, Human Race, and Nether Clan fought endlessly for survival, freedom, and glory.

Taiqing sensed that although this world was only at the Taiyi level, the strength of its experts could not be underestimated.

Compared to those high-level worlds where powerful experts were few and far between, this was a typical low-level world packed with formidable figures.

Even when his projection entered this world, he was still restricted at every turn and found it difficult to fully display his abilities.

But this was only the initial stage. Whenever he descended into a new world, such restrictions always appeared.

Fortunately, his speed of thought far exceeded ordinary imagination.

His mind seemed to operate like countless supercomputers at all times, constantly scanning the surrounding environment and gathering all kinds of information in order to construct the Myriad Heavens Method most suitable for him.

Although Taiqing’s projection was not especially powerful, it was now sufficient for him to survive in these chaotic times.

And once he encountered stronger opponents, he would have a chance to break through himself.

Before that, however, he needed to first understand this world’s rules and make his Myriad Heavens Method more suited to this place.

There was no denying that this world was extremely chaotic. The people lived in misery, and the common folk suffered deeply.

But for slaves, such a life was even more unbearable.

Taiqing silently received information, his gaze sweeping across every living creature around him as he unknowingly entered an enormous city…

Meanwhile, at the other end of the world.

Through the efforts of Wu Geng and the others, the War of Heaven Slaying began.

This was a battle launched by the Human Race and the Nether Clan for freedom and the right to survive. They had endured oppression from the Divine Race for far too long.

Over time, some had become numb and had even grown accustomed to the Divine Race’s rule, no longer longing to resist.

Under such circumstances, those unwilling to submit formed a powerful army.

This army was made up of the Human Race and the Nether Clan. They launched an attack against the Divine Race, triggering an unprecedented war.

During the war, numerous powerful figures clashed fiercely, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to split.

Both sides won and lost battles, but before Heavenly Dao descended, they could barely maintain a balance.

However, that was only while Heavenly Dao had yet to appear!

Once Heavenly Dao descended, the situation changed completely!

Heavenly Dao’s strength far exceeded ordinary imagination. Although Ni Tian Er Xing, marshal of the Nether Clan, was powerful, he was severely weakened by grave illness.

The petrification disease had affected him greatly, while Heavenly Dao was nearly invincible, possessing divine power that had reached the pinnacle of the world.

Under such circumstances, Ni Tian Er Xing’s defeat was inevitable. He understood this in his heart, but so what? At the very least, he had fought back!

He had already reached the highest realm of Nether Clan warriors—the Extreme Breaking Realm—and poured the Nether Clan’s accumulated wrath of one hundred thousand years entirely upon Heavenly Dao.

Without question, he was an unyielding warrior and the pillar of the Nether Clan.

Even knowing that death awaited him, he still dared to resist. Even if he ultimately failed, he would give everything he had.

Because what he feared more than death was his people losing the courage to fight against the darkness.

Though gravely ill, he still swung this blade at Heavenly Dao so that his people would understand:

"Even a sick man like me dares to resist,

while you possess healthy bodies and unyielding wills. How can you fear Heavenly Dao?"

Facing an enemy who was nearly impossible to defeat, Ni Tian Er Xing attacked without the slightest fear.

At that moment, he discovered a blurry figure standing before him.

This figure appeared small, yet possessed extraordinary strength. Even Heavenly Dao frowned and drew his blood spear.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking the way?"

Seeing this human blocking the only path forward, Ni Tian Er Xing asked with a frown.

That blurry figure was Taiqing.

After learning what world this was and the current time period, Taiqing swiftly locked onto this battle.

As he traveled onward, his strength had continued to rise.

By the time he arrived here, his overall strength was completely different from before, as though he had been reborn and become an entirely different person.

At this moment, the world’s restrictions on him had completely disappeared!

"I am Taiqing, a traveler who roams the heavens. Since I began my journey, I have never encountered an opponent.

I have always longed to find someone capable of defeating me, even if only within the same realm!

I heard that this place is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so I came to pay a visit!"

Taiqing looked calm and composed. His gray Daoist robe lent him an air of mystery.

His arrogance was overwhelming, enraging both Ni Tian Er Xing and Heavenly Dao.

Ni Tian Er Xing was the commander of the Nether Clan, while Heavenly Dao was the ruler of the Divine Race. Neither was someone to be trifled with.

Both possessed towering momentum. How could they tolerate such provocation from Taiqing?

Ni Tian Er Xing especially had little time left and needed to end the battle quickly.

Heavenly Dao was even more arrogant than Taiqing and viewed him as an ant, yet turbulent waves rose within his heart.

Compared to Ni Tian Er Xing, Taiqing’s words undoubtedly provoked him far more deeply.

Although he sensed the threat posed by his opponent, he felt no fear whatsoever.

Heavenly Dao was omnipotent!

No one in this world could defeat Heavenly Dao!

"Heh! A mere ant dares to spout such arrogant nonsense. You truly do not know whether you live or die!

Do you think you can dominate the world just because you possess some ability? Today, I will show you what it means that there is always someone greater, and Beyond Heaven, there is another heaven!

Lowly ant, prepare yourself to receive Heavenly Dao’s thunderous wrath!"

Heavenly Dao, holding his spear, radiated a majestic and overwhelming aura. With his weapon in hand, he was unstoppable.

Bolstered by this supreme divine power, he feared nothing and could be stopped by nothing!

Under such circumstances, any enemy standing before him was destined to die.

This had always been the case since ancient times, with few exceptions. Even when exceptions existed, it was only because Heavenly Dao had not yet resolved to kill them.

Once Heavenly Dao decided to act, no enemy could escape, no matter how far they fled.
