"Has this matter ended just like this?"
An elder beside them, as if in a dream, pinched his face and then looked at everyone, asking.
Everyone else also gave a wry smile. Who could have imagined that this matter would end so dramatically? Even Lin Chuan was at a loss for words at this moment.
A big noise, but a small rain.
However, overall, this was the best outcome. If a fight had truly broken out, the result would have been uncertain. But at least it was certain that not everyone present would have survived.
Buzz!
Just then, a buzzing sound came from Lin Chuan. Then, under everyone's gaze, Lin Chuan's aura began to surge uncontrollably. Li Xuan understood immediately. Lin Chuan had been suppressing it with all his might before, so there had been no signs of a breakthrough.
Now that the matter had a satisfactory conclusion, Lin Chuan, caught off guard, had his suppression weakened. And Lin Chuan had already reached the level of ascension, so he had no choice but to ascend and depart.
"Fellow Daoist Lin Chuan, the Soul Devouring Insects in your divine soul have been completely resolved. Ascend with peace of mind," Li Xuan said.
"Thank you." Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. In fact, as his aura surged earlier, Lin Chuan had also worried that the Soul Devouring Insects in his divine soul had not yet been dealt with. Now that Li Xuan had spoken, Lin Chuan had no regrets.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, Lin Chuan's figure directly tore through space and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"You, come with me." After Lin Chuan ascended, the Great Heavenly Dao suddenly grabbed Li Xuan's hand. The moment the words fell, Li Xuan and the Great Heavenly Dao instantly vanished.
"The Soul Devouring Insects in our bodies..." The powerhouses who remained on the spot looked at each other. Lin Chuan's Soul Devouring Insects had been confirmed to be resolved by Li Xuan, but their own Soul Devouring Insects seemed to still be there.
"Forget it, we should wait for that fellow Daoist to return before we see," an elder said with a wry smile.
Everyone nodded in agreement. This was the only way for now.
After being taken away by the Great Heavenly Dao, it took Li Xuan several minutes before he felt his body come to a halt. All he could see were strange flowers and exotic grasses everywhere. The sky seemed to hang low enough to be touched by hand. However, the color of the sky here shifted through five colors.
"What is this place?" Li Xuan asked with curiosity.
"This is where I live," the Great Heavenly Dao said with a delighted expression.
Li Xuan was stunned. Then, his gaze fell upon the Heavenly Dao Brush in the Great Heavenly Dao's hand.
"Little Master, this should be the end of this three-dimensional space," the Heavenly Dao Brush spoke.
Li Xuan was surprised and looked around again. This was actually the end of three-dimensional space? If so, wouldn't passing through here lead into four-dimensional space?
"Little Master, even if you have reached the Void Shattering realm now, you cannot pass through here. To enter four-dimensional space, Little Master, you must leap into four-dimensional space. Using their term 'ascension' would be more fitting," the Heavenly Dao Brush said, perhaps sensing Li Xuan's thoughts.
Li Xuan frowned slightly. Three-dimensional and four-dimensional space were not directly connected. This meant that he truly needed to reach the Void Shattering realm to leave this three-dimensional space and head to four-dimensional space.
"Great Heavenly Dao, tell me about your situation with your disciple," Li Xuan said, shifting his gaze to the Great Heavenly Dao.
"Alright," the Great Heavenly Dao nodded immediately and began to narrate.
"So, that guy was truly blessed with incredible luck." After listening to the Great Heavenly Dao's account, Li Xuan couldn't help but admire the luck of the imposter Heavenly Dao.
According to the Great Heavenly Dao, the events had transpired over a thousand years ago. At that time, the Great Heavenly Dao was merely a wisp of world will within this three-dimensional space. Just as Yi Qin had said, this three-dimensional space was not complete. At least, the Heavenly Dao was not.
But even a blade of wild grass, after enduring tens of thousands of years and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, could achieve cultivation. Li Xuan did not know how long the three-dimensional space had existed, but it was enough time for that wisp of world will to take form.
With the Great Heavenly Dao having taken form, the First Law naturally resided in its mind. As the Heavenly Dao, it was its duty to balance this three-dimensional space. Coincidentally, the Great Heavenly Dao encountered the imposter Heavenly Dao during its first exploration of this three-dimensional space.
The imposter Heavenly Dao, whose real name was Tang Cheng, was still only a Spirit Master who had just broken through the Prime Origin realm when he met the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, Tang Cheng was already seriously injured at the time. If not for the Great Heavenly Dao's intervention, he would not have survived.
Afterward, Tang Cheng recognized the Great Heavenly Dao as his master. The Great Heavenly Dao was simple-minded, and with the three-dimensional space's incomplete world will, the Great Heavenly Dao did not understand many things. It would not be an exaggeration to say it was inexperienced.
Thus, after Tang Cheng followed the Great Heavenly Dao back to this place, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Within a hundred years, he reached the advanced Sovereign realm. However, everyone's aptitude was limited, and after a hundred years of cultivation, Tang Cheng found himself unable to advance further.
Sometimes, after experiencing the power of strength, those with insatiable greed would not be content with their current situation. Thus, Tang Cheng deceived the Great Heavenly Dao, obtaining the Soul Devouring Insect King from him, and also acquiring a devouring technique from elsewhere.
It was from that time onwards that Tang Cheng entered the Land of Chaos and began to raise powerhouses in the rear section. Li Xuan did not know how many ascendant powerhouses Tang Cheng had devoured, but the number was clearly not small. Otherwise, with Tang Cheng's aptitude, he would never have reached the Half-step Void Shattering realm.
Li Xuan sighed with emotion. If Tang Cheng had diligently cultivated by the Great Heavenly Dao's side, there would be no need to worry about his inability to break through. After all, the Great Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Dao of this three-dimensional space, and its surroundings were the places with the most abundant spiritual energy.
Of course, all of this could only be blamed on Tang Cheng's excessive haste. To put it bluntly, his intentions were impure. Li Xuan absolutely did not believe that after spending so much time with the Great Heavenly Dao, Tang Cheng would not have noticed the Great Heavenly Dao's simple nature.
"Big Brother, I don't have a disciple anymore. Can you stay with me here from now on?" the Great Heavenly Dao asked Li Xuan with an expectant look.
Li Xuan gave a wry smile. It might be possible for a short period, but for a long time, wouldn't he be confined here?
"Little Master, you can cultivate here for a while. Although the time flow here is not as good as in the Prison Suppression, the spiritual energy is extremely abundant. Moreover, with the Great Heavenly Dao here, your comprehension of heaven and earth will be even more profound," the Heavenly Dao Brush's voice echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then nodded. "I can stay with you for a while."
The Great Heavenly Dao immediately nodded happily and then ran off towards the distance with the Heavenly Dao Brush. Li Xuan was taken aback. Was the Great Heavenly Dao asking him to stay because he wanted to accompany him, or the Heavenly Dao Brush?
Li Xuan withdrew his gaze and suddenly had a thought. The Heavenly Dao Brush said this was the end of the three-dimensional space. Could it be that he had already left the Land of Chaos?
