More and more Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm experts had gotten involved.
"What happened?"
Chu Xuan asked curiously.
Daoist Flying Cloud then gave him a brief overview of what had happened in the Ancient Chaos World, from which Chu Xuan gained a rough understanding of the situation.
A major conflict could break out at any time. Moreover, it involved multiple parties. The only reason why it had not gone out of hand yet was due to every party being afraid of the conflict affecting their preparations for the Great Dao calamity.
"Daoist Flying Cloud, have you reached the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm yet?"
Chu Xuan asked.
"I'm ashamed to say that I haven't."
Daoist Flying Cloud sighed.
"It seems that your Dao path is a little special. Why is the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm your limit?"
Chu Xuan asked another question, which also hinted that he did not share the same limitation, and was likely a chaotic being.
"At this moment, there is a barrier that all living beings of the nine zones cannot avoid. If one wants to surpass the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm, there are only two ways."
Daoist Flying Cloud did not doubt Chu Xuan. After all, the Dao paths of chaotic beings were different from that of the living beings of the nine zones, so it was normal for him to not understand.
"The first way is the one that these Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm experts are taking, which is to sever their Dao paths from the Great Dao of the nine zones, which will remove the restriction."
"Although it has risks, it is the most feasible."
"The second way is to transcend the nine Great Dao calamities."
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Even the Nine Extreme Daoyuan cannot guarantee that they can safely survive nine Great Dao calamities. Moreover, waiting for nine Great Dao eras to pass is far too long."
Chu Xuan understood.
Ignoring the danger, no one would be able to endure such a long period of time without any progress in their cultivation.
Therefore, they all focused on the first way.
"Are there any Fellow Daoists who have surpassed the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm in the Ancient Chaos World?"
Chu Xuan asked.
"Not as far as I know."
Daoist Flying Cloud shook his head.
Chu Xuan did not believe that in the long history of the nine zones, there had been no one who had surpassed the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm.
"Where have all of them gone?"
"Perhaps to explore the chaos like you are doing, Senior," Daoist Flying Cloud replied with uncertainty.
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"If one severs one's Dao path from the Great Dao and surpasses the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm, one will become a Freedom Daoyuan cultivator. Although there is no apparent increase in strength, that cultivator will be able to continue expanding and extending their Dao path."
"As such, most of these cultivators will need to find a place to cultivate in seclusion and consolidate their cultivation foundation. The Ancient Chaos World is not a good place for this."
Chu Xuan understood.
Those who became Freedom Daoyuan cultivators needed time to stabilize and improve their Dao paths, so they were mostly in seclusion.
Furthermore, it seemed that after coming out of seclusion, they would leave the region where the Ancient Chaos World, most likely to continue improving their Dao paths.
As for whether there really was not anyone who had reached this realm in the Ancient Chaos World, Chu Xuan did not really believe it.
There were probably some old monsters hiding in there.
Currently, most of the experts who had prepared schemes for the nine zones were Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm experts.
Aside from severing their Dao paths from the Great Dao, they very likely wanted to return to the nine zones.
After all, the nine zones were special. It was easier to cultivate there, and also easier to extend and expand one's Dao path.
Of course, they all shared another goal, which was to suppress the human race!
They could not allow the human race to monopolize the nine zones.
Otherwise, the human race would eventually gain enough power to suppress all of the other races.
This was something that none of the races were willing to accept.
Therefore, they had to return to the nine zones, whether it was to suppress the human race or for the future of their own cultivation.
Unless they had the power to break through the Great Dao of the nine zones, which they did not.
Even if all of the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm cultivators of the various races joined forces, they would not be able to destroy the Great Dao of the nine zones.
Chu Xuan and Daoist Flying Cloud continued to chat. Their topics were no longer limited to the nine zones and the Ancient Chaos World. They occasionally talked about some experts.
