In any case, Chu Xuan felt that he had a better chance of controlling the Great Dao than the three races.
The core of the Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Dao Talisman, which was always connected to the Great Dao and was nurtured by the aura of the Great Dao through the Origin Dao Crystal.
Therefore, there was a much lower chance of the Heavenly Dao laws being detected and rejected.
Of course, after replacing the laws of Heaven and Earth in the nine zones, the difficult part would be taking over the Great Dao itself.
Chu Xuan pondered. Perhaps he could merge the Heavenly Dao laws into the Great Dao and use it as a medium to control it.
The danger of merging the Heavenly Dao laws with the Great Dao was that there was a chance that the Great Dao would take over the Heavenly Dao laws, and not vice versa.
The Heavenly Dao laws had to be strong enough.
Thus, Chu Xuan had a general direction in which to plan things out.
Time passed day by day and, in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
Although the nine zones' blood fiend calamity had weakened, it had by no means ended. Furthermore, the ominous beings were still running rampant in the Monster Zone.
However, Hu Tianya had led the monster race and managed to take back half of the Monster Zone.
On this day, Ren Changhe returned.
"Greetings, Master!"
Chu Xuan looked at Ren Changhe. His fate had already transformed, and he was now a person who shouldered the fate of the Great Dao thanks to the fact that he had destroyed that ominous artifact.
Moreover, Ren Changhe was one step away from reaching the Dao realm.
In fact, Chu Xuan had asked Ren Changhe to come back so that he could become the first person to break through to the Dao realm in the Northern Zone, which would further strengthen the Heavenly Dao laws and raise the upper limit of cultivation here.
"You already have the opportunity to break through. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me," Chu Xuan said.
"Many thanks, Master!"
Ren Changhe then asked the questions he had about breaking through to the Dao realm.
Chu Xuan answered them one by one and explained some of the insights of the Heavenly Dao to him.
After clearing up his doubts about cultivation, Ren Changhe said respectfully, " "Master, while I was returning, I encountered a strange thing in the Desolate Ancient Zone."
Ren Changhe explained in detail about the mutated thunder fish he had encountered and the strange grayish-black gas.
Chu Xuan was surprised. The ominous artifact that Ren Changhe destroyed actually originated from this?
Moreover, the strange grayish-black gas was already spreading through the Desolate Ancient Zone, and a more powerful version compared to the grayish-black gas in the Monster Zone as well.
"This strange grayish-black gas is related to the Great Dao calamity. Don't touch it. It can contaminate your body and cause you to transform into a mindless ominous being."
"The Great Dao calamity is coming, and misfortune will eventually descend. Cultivate well. Only when you are strong can you survive the Great Dao calamity," Chu Xuan explained.
The grayish-black gas in the nine zones all originated from that strange black power on the Great Dao.
Even a terrifying expert like Daoist Flying Cloud would avoid it.
Back then, when the grayish-black gas had contaminated the nine zones and given birth to the ominous race, it had taken the combined power of all three races to exterminate the ominous race.
Furthermore, the battle had not been without sacrifices, and many Daoyuan realm experts had fallen.
It was also because of that incident that the three races had attempted to eliminate the Great Dao calamity, which resulted in their expulsion from the nine zones.
