The silent ruins were tinted with a sacred aura as that sole shade of green haze overflowed with an indescribable energy of supremacy. Read complete version only at Nov3lFɪre.ɴet Lin Xun's heart trembled as though he was witnessing the birth of a miracle! The ground around the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree split as countless fine, crystalline roots sprang forth, while the stem grew taller and thicker... The origin aura of Immortal dao began to fill the air and condense until wisps of vapor could be seen. Perceiving this aura with a calm heart, Lin Xun had a vague understanding: all the supreme experts who had once entered the Central Immortal Court had also consumed a dao fruit produced by the divine tree here. Therefore, the battle marks they left behind naturally contained the energy of the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree! At the moment, that fighting power was returning the favor to the sapling, prompting it to undergo an incredible development! As the process went on, Lin Xun was even more surprised to find that the tree still wasn't satisfied after absorbing all of the fighting power. Now, it was starting to draw power from the Origin Dao Canon! “The Origin Dao Canon anthologized every supreme legacy in the Immortal dao and is known as the initial approach to this subject. Such a power, don’t tell me it’s related to the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree?” Before he could dive deeper into this, the tree caught his attention. It had grown thirty-three branches and a height of ninety feet. Ninety feet tall, with thirty-three branches that implied the structure of the heavens! While absorbing the power of the Origin Dao Canon, the thirty-three branches began to grow leaves that were flawless and pristine. The vein system on each leaf was different, seemingly representing different natural paths of the almighty dao that in turn caused the leaves to radiate with various dao auras. Lin Xun counted with a single glance a total of three thousand leaves! “Nine[1], thirty-three, three thousand...” These numbers sent shivers through his heart as what they represented was extraordinary. Nine, the final single digit. Thirty-three, the number of layers of the heavens. Three thousand, a metaphor for the infinity of dao paths! The single tree, in Lin Xun's eyes at this moment, was a body of mysteries! As he sank into a trance, the transformation of the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree ended quietly. The ruins were now being lit by cascades of green light, holy glows, and steaming haze. The ninety-foot-tall tree looked like it was made of cemented gold. Its thirty-three verdant branches spread in all directions, swaying in the sacred light. Every leaf emitted a different, subtle dao rhythm... Standing before it made one feel as though they were in a fairyland. Here, one’s body, mind, and spirit were submerged in the tranquil atmosphere of the great dao, allowing them to quickly fathom the mysteries of Immortal dao origin. At this moment, Lin Xun had a strong urge to disregard everything and just enter meditation to explore the dao! However, he suppressed this urge. He was a little disappointed that this Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree had not grown a single dao fruit... Did he have to wait one hundred thousand years for this to happen? Stowing the Jade Disk of Fortune, Lin Xun stood in place for a moment before he made up his mind to stay here to cultivate and perfect himself! He had no expectations about breaking through the realm here, for becoming a supreme Ancestor required an opportunity, one that only appeared when the stars aligned. Right now, he only wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fuse all of his daos together. Emperor Ancestors were also called Ancestors of a Path. When they certified their dao on the supreme path, they would be called supreme Emperor Ancestors, but Lin Xun was not willing to be limited to that. He wanted to walk an unprecedented path and certify a dao that was unique in all history and worlds! His path would integrate all daos and derive all laws, and as such, he sought to become the Ancestor of All Paths! In fact, having reached this point in his journey, improvement in cultivation levels was no longer the priority. What Lin Xun needed to consider was how high his dao could reach. The reason was that virtually every expert would be stopped dead by the barrier of the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Stage, while climbing the minor stages only required time and posed no problems. Anyone who aspired to dominate the Emperor path would focus on the matter of battle prowess with the first and foremost issue being how to become the strongest in the same realm. After all, the Ancestor Stage was the end of the Emperor path. Being invincible in this stage meant standing at the only peak of it, sharing this space with no one else as one dominated the ages! Under the shade of the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree, Lin Xun sat cross-legged solemnly like a statue of a god. His mind-world had fallen into a marvelous, unspeakable enlightenment. Green, misty rays of light drifted down from the tree and bathed his entire person, infusing every inch of his flesh with the origin aura of Immortal dao. It felt as if he had fallen into the womb that nurtured Immortal dao origin. His understanding and perception reached an astounding level where he barely had to think to figure out the primordial nature of Immortal dao, learn it by heart, and store it within himself! This was truly inconceivable. It was not much different from the rumored ‘Starting to learn the subject in the morning, becoming a top expert on it by night’! This was all due to the power of the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree. It was the root of the Immortal World, the origin of the Immortal dao, the supreme treasure of the Central Immortal Court, and the greatest fortune from the last epoch. It was naturally far beyond extraordinary. Lin Xun had already sensed this divine marvel as he cultivated in the state of enlightenment, and it almost overturned his world view! Time passed until his breathing became in harmony with the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree, as if it had become a part of his aura. Later on, all sorts of incredible dao phenomena surged around him. Lightning storms and deafening thunder, it felt like the scene of when the worlds were first created. The energy was so overwhelming and powerful that it seemed capable of making all the daos under heavens kneel. Lin Xun’s entire qi and blood boiled, emitting an inexplicable aura. His figure sometimes transformed into a cauldron, other times an abyss. During this process, all of the dao mysteries in his control poured out endlessly, forming stars and universes, mountains and rivers, heaven and earth, birds and beasts, lightning and thunder, storms and fire... He demonstrated various kinds of grand daos and constantly deduced everything he had ever learned in his cultivation. At the end of it, he vanished. In his original place was only a huge, floating abyss that swallowed all of the derived universes, worlds, creatures, and weathers. The domineering abyss emitted a mad energy that craved to sweep through the three thousand worlds and angrily devour everything that existed! Eventually, Lin Xun’s qi quieted down, but, in both his physical body and consciousness, the light of the dao was eternal. Like the calm sea, it was dense and vast. Following that, many skills and laws of Immortal dao manifested around him, weaving a dazzling spectacle that displayed the mysteries of the last epoch’s Immortal dao one by one. It was a completely different sight from the great dao he had ever known. From the Purple Mansion to the Yellow Court, from forming a Golden Core to entering Nirvana, everything shone with the unique, primitive aura of Immortal dao. Lin Xun no longer perceived the flow of time. At this moment, he had forgotten even himself. Both his body and mind were in tune with the dao, and he was deriving the dao in a way that was projected in the outer world. It was an unknown time later that he transformed back into a great abyss. Among the daos that he had mastered and derived, half belonged to the extreme dao of this epoch, and the other half to the Immortal dao of the previous epoch. The mysteries of the two great daos in two different epochs seemed to shake hands and coexist in him. They were also constantly being derived and transformed. Their power in a whole kept becoming more and more complex, more and more abstruse. On the other hand, Lin Xun now carried an aura that was a mix of vigor and unfathomability! No one knew that at this moment, he was in the midst of an unprecedented fusion: one between the complete Immortal dao and his own dao. For cultivators of this epoch, even if they could comprehend and control the dao from the previous epoch, it would only be a part of it. However, in Lin Xun’s case, the last epoch’s Netherworld dao and Immortal dao he had were both complete systems that included their most primal and fundamental principles. Meaning, if this dao fusion succeeded, he would then wield the great dao power of both epochs! If this was in the past, he would never be able to accomplish such a feat in a short period of time. However, it was now different thanks to the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree. It enabled him to easily comprehend and master the mysteries of the great dao of the previous epoch, thus giving him an excellent opportunity to fuse all his dao! The tree swayed. Dense, crystalline green leaves shimmered and showered down a rain of dao light, painting a peaceful picture. It made one wonder how many supreme experts on the Immortal path had developed their own dao and laws under this tree like Lin Xun was doing. Gradually, he came to resemble a heavenly sovereign. His every breath resonated with different grand daos, reverberating like the chanting of Buddha, stunning the world. His aura became stronger and stronger like a volcano that might erupt at any time. Every inch of his skin raged with intense dao power. As early as in Chaotian City, he had already reached the perfection of the eighth realm. At this moment, as he continued to explore the great dao, his cultivation also seemed eager to advance. However, Lin Xun was too occupied to care. If he could integrate all the daos of the last epoch into himself, then when he certified to be a supreme Emperor Ancestor, he was bound to bloom with a power never-before-seen in this epoch. That was what he cared about. Day after day passed. Under the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree, Lin Xun could no longer be seen, completely drowned out by the rain of great dao light. The translucent green leaves made the sound of scriptures turning pages as they swayed, dropping rays of wisdom light that blurred out his figure even further. The place where he sat produced an ineffable law sound. Seeming to be pulled by something, the various grand dao powers converged together, merged, consolidated, and gradually took on the shape of a furnace cauldron prototype. This prototype was then continuously refined and perfected. In the end, the Primordial Chaos Thousand Daos Tree trembled violently. Lin Xun, vaguely in the form of a great abyss, engulfed all the stirring daos in the surroundings and fused them into that cauldron, which then disappeared into his body. All the phenomena vanished. All the light calmed. There was only the figure of Lin Xun sitting cross-legged like it had been here for eternity! 1. raw is 9 zhang, equals 90 feet ☜
