He stood outside the primordial land and looked into the distance with a strange expression on his face. After a long while, he muttered, "There haven't been too many changes, but the human race has become stronger."
Yang Tian turned around and left.
Back in the cave, the light in Yang Tian's eyes began to dim, and the original Yang Tian regained control of his body.
"Kid, your cultivation level is decent, but your cultivation foundation isn't strong enough. Work hard and you won't have any bottlenecks before the seventh level."
A voice rang out in his soul.
"You're really my ancestor?"
Yang Tian asked curiously.
Since he had such a powerful ancestor, why was he born with such a lowly background?
"It's been a long time. A very long time."
Then, the voice fell silent, as if it had never been there in the first place.
Yang Tian left the cave and headed to the treasure lands to seek out opportunities to strengthen his cultivation foundation.
After he had regained control of his body, his cultivation level fell back down to the first level of the Dao realm.
Chu Xuan did not realize that someone from the outside had entered the nine zones through Yang Tian. He was waiting for the arrival of the sixty-year milestone, and the corresponding breakthrough to the Daoyuan realm.
…
Finally, the sixty-year milestone arrived.
"You've been living in seclusion for 60 years and have not left the courtyard. You implemented the Heavenly Dao Talisman plan that accelerated the progress of the Great Daoyuan calamity, nurtured talented disciples, and set a new record. You have been rewarded with a wisp of chaotic purple light."
Chu Xuan was startled.
He could not help but think of the purple light that split the chaos when it was born.
Hiss!
It was an absolute treasure!
Even a wisp of it was terrifying!
Chu Xuan was overjoyed. The chaotic purple light could split the chaos apart, so it was naturally very suitable to open one's Dao path.
It was a true path-opening treasure!
Chu Xuan took a deep breath and examined the system's reward.
"Chaotic purple light, the first light to split the chaos, can also split the Great Dao and overcome the chaotic calamity."
It was powerful!
Chu Xuan immediately prepared to use the chaotic purple light to break through to the Daoyuan realm and open his Dao path.
He received the chaotic purple light.
A ray of purple light appeared and instantly entered his body. Many Dao principles were intertwined with the purple light.
Chu Xuan started to break through.
In order to prevent any disturbances, Chu Xuan specifically told Su Xian'er not to disturb him.
With a wave of his hand, he set up layers of protection around him, which concealed his presence and aura.
The Daoyuan realm was about opening the Dao path.
How would one open their Dao path?
Naturally, it was by using the Great Dao as the basis to open up a Dao path of their own.
Most Daoyuan realm experts opened up their Dao path based on the Dao principle they had the greatest comprehension of. Every other Dao principle they had merely supplemented and strengthened their main Dao principle.
Only extremely special Daoyuan realm experts would open up more than a single Dao path.
However no matter what or how many Dao principles one used, they were still rooted in the Great Dao.
People had tried to open their Dao paths in the chaos back then, but had failed due to the difficulty and instability of doing so.
The Dao path would collapse the moment the chaos fluctuated. Furthermore, it did not provide a comparable boost to one's strength.
It was precisely because of this that no one chose to open their Dao path in the chaos.
Unless of course one had a supreme treasure that could stabilize and continuously open up the Dao path in the chaos. However, not only were such supreme treasures far too rare, even if one succeeded, in the early and middle stages, one would be far weaker than those who opened up their Dao path based on the Great Dao.
Chu Xuan had the chaotic purple light, so the drawbacks of opening up a Dao path in the chaos did not exist for him.
Moreover, he was not just opening up a normal Dao path, but a miniature version of the Great Dao.
However, he would not leave the nine zones to head to the chaos. It was too dangerous.
He still wanted to continue his record of staying at home.
Moreover, his goal was for the Heavenly Dao laws to devour the Great Dao.
Therefore, he would also use the nine zones' Great Dao as the foundation to open his Dao path.
A wisp of purple light appeared, and Chu Xuan's aura gradually strengthened and transformed.
Indistinctly, the invisible Great Dao seemed to be manifested under Chu Xuan's feet.
Under the guidance of the purple light, all of his Dao principles fused into a miniature Great Dao.
Chu Xuan did not merge the Reincarnation Great Dao principle, Ghost Great Dao principle, or the Buddhist Great Dao principle with his other Dao principles. These were independent existences, and would become one of his trump cards.
The purple light spread and connected to the Great Dao. As the purple light moved forward, a miniature Great Dao that seemed to be a copy of the Great Dao started to spread and open up.
Chu Xuan's aura was constantly strengthening and transforming.
The power of his Dao principles was transformed into the power of a Great Dao.
As the Great Dao was opened, it continued to extend, expand, and stabilize, turning from invisible to tangible, as if a road had been paved on the Great Dao.
However, this Dao path was still not strong enough.
In the blink of an eye, the Dao path grew to ten miles long and one mile wide. The purple light continued to spread and lay the foundation for the Dao path.
Waves of the Great Dao's aura also continuously poured into the Dao path Chu Xuan had opened.
Boom!
It was now thirty miles long.
Chu Xuan felt some pressure. As the Dao path extended, it seemed to become weaker. It seemed that if he continued, it would become unstable.
He did not know how far the other Daoyuan realm experts would extend their Dao path when they first opened it, but Chu Xuan naturally was not willing to accept this.
The Ancient Chaos Mountain appeared on the Dao path with a rumble.
The Dao path, which had been somewhat unstable, instantly became stable.
The chaotic purple light continued to spread and the Dao path continued to extend.
Chu Xuan had not used a single Dao principle to open his Dao path, but a miniature version of the Great Dao. This increased the difficulty of opening and stabilizing the Dao path.
Still, such a Dao path would be undeniably stronger.
Boom!
A hundred miles long!
Ten miles wide!
This length and width appeared to be a threshold, and his aura instantly became ten times stronger.
The Dao path was still being opened, and the chaotic purple light was still extending it, but it had already dimmed a little.
Chu Xuan's cultivation foundation was getting deeper and deeper.
Chu Xuan thought back to how he bragged about opening a Dao path that was millions of miles long. Now he truly knew how difficult it was to accomplish such a feat.
His current progress was only due to the chaotic purple light and the Ancient Chaos Mountain. When they reached their limit, so would his Dao path.
The chaotic purple light continued to spread and gradually dimmed.
200 miles…
300 miles…
500 miles…
He was about to catch up to Kun He and Ruoxian.
The chaotic purple light was already a shadow of its former self.
Judging from the current situation, a thousand miles might be his current limit.
