Chapter 1 Time Marches On

Time marches on, and generations of outstanding talents emerge, performing scenes of magnificent legendary history.

An Qisheng seemed to know, and seemed not to know.

But all of this had little to do with him.

Whoosh~

A flash of light passed by, and endless bizarre and grotesque things appeared in perception again.

The countless disordered and chaotic pictures, forming this strange place, are like the nightmare land of the universe. Connected to each other, they can pass through to other worlds.

Inverted, disordered, unordered, chaotic...

Scenes flashed by, and were captured by An Qisheng.

He sat cross-legged on the Dao Yi Diagram scroll, which resembled a flat boat, gazing slightly, not letting go of the slightest opportunity to spy on this unknown land.

This was the first time he had perceived the mysteries of this bizarre land.

It was not appropriate to call it a mystery, because the many pictures he could capture were chaotic, uninteresting, and monotonous, without anything worth seeing.

Because this strange place had probably been like this for a long, long time.

Buzz~

Just as this thought arose in An Qisheng's mind, he suddenly shook, and his divine will instantly blazed, condensing on one of the countless pictures.

"That is..."

An Qisheng concentrated his mind, and a fleeting image in his heart sea emerged.

That was a desolate and deep nothingness, darker and dimmer than any night or starry sky he had ever seen.

The picture flowed, seeming to pass quickly, and in the next instant, light emerged in that boundless void.

That was a 'sphere of light' so large that it was indescribable, covering an unknown amount of vast void, or rather, a great world.

Its color was bright gold, like a scorching sun in the endless void, vast and brilliant, making countless light spheres of various sizes around it dim.

Was this the Huang Tian Realm and the Human Realm?

As the thought turned in An Qisheng's mind, he saw a sudden change in the picture, whether it was in the past or the future.

A giant palm shrouded in starlight appeared extremely abruptly in the starry sky.

The giant palm was incomparably large, as if composed of thousands of planets. Each finger was tens of thousands of miles long. Compared to the golden world, it was insignificant, but it was already indescribably large.

Abrupt!

Extremely abrupt!

Even though An Qisheng had been watching intently, he had not noticed where the big hand came from.

And as soon as it appeared, it had already shed a large amount of starlight, and grabbed fiercely towards the edge of the golden world group!

Boom!

Through the picture, An Qisheng seemed to hear a huge roar that resounded through the vacuum.

The loud noise did not use any substance as a medium, completely ignoring the empty void, and even affected An Qisheng, who saw this scene through the picture!

Who is this person?

As An Qisheng pondered, the picture changed again.

From the vast golden sphere of light illuminating the boundless void, a jade Ruyi (scepter) with three colors, containing three lights, simple and full of Daoist charm, suddenly floated out.

Clatter~

The golden jade Ruyi fell down, ignoring all the limitations of nothingness, and crossed an unknown amount of distant void in a trajectory that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

With a fierce strike, it hit the starlight giant hand.

Boom!

Even through a picture, An Qisheng could feel how dazzling the divine light that burst out at that moment was.

It was as if thousands of stars had completed their long lives in an instant, bursting out with the most brilliant light at that moment. What fireworks, compared to the explosion of the starlight giant hand, were far behind.

Buzz~

The shattered starlight swept away in all directions, but did not dissipate. Instead, it intertwined along some unpredictable trajectory, evolving into a majestic face that could not be seen clearly:

"It's not in vain for this seat to spend so much effort. There is such a magnificent great world here. Very good, very good..."

Whoosh whoosh~

The滔滔 golden light was like water.

The jade Ruyi floated in the golden light, and with a slight tremor, it turned into a Taoist priest whose face could not be seen clearly.

The Taoist priest stood in the void, stared at the huge starry sky face, made a bow:

"This poor Taoist is Tai Long Daoren (Taoist), may I ask where you come from, what is your name, and what is your intention in sending your Dharma Body (manifestation) here?"

"A fellow Taoist? Just an ant bound to his original world, what qualifications do you have to talk about the Dao and discuss friendship with this seat?"

The starry sky giant face spoke indifferently, and the substantial contempt could be felt through time and space.

"Heh~"

Tai Long Daoren chuckled lightly, without joy or anger, and said calmly:

"The Dao is different. You may not be more remarkable than this poor Taoist..."

"A frog in a well, doesn't know how big the world is... Hmm?!"

The starry sky giant face seemed to want to say something, but suddenly raised its head as if it had sensed something, and its cold and indifferent gaze seemed to penetrate time and space.

The picture stopped abruptly at this point.

"Starry Sky Louzhu (Lord)..."

Before An Qisheng could see more, with a fleeting glimpse, he had already disappeared in the unknown land.

He sensed the familiar aura of Xuan Xing.

He was back.

Around him was a spacious, boundless plaza, and behind him was a tall, deep gate of light.

An Qisheng sat cross-legged in the Infinite Cave Heaven, with a solemn expression:

"Was that the Starry Sky Louzhu's Dharma Body?"

Even though he already knew that the Starry Sky Louzhu from the barbaric great world dared to plot against other worlds, he must have the ability to cross the universe, but seeing it in person still shook his mind.

He, who possessed the ability to enter dreams, knew even more the difficulty of traveling through the world.

The world was vast, often hundreds of billions of light-years away. Even if you traveled eighty thousand miles a day, it was still an extremely slow speed compared to the universe, let alone crossing to other worlds.

The power required for this was naturally beyond words.

What realm is this Starry Sky Louzhu in?

And why was Tai Long Daoren, who seemed to be no weaker than the Starry Sky Louzhu, called a frog in a well by him?

Huang Tian Realm, Human Realm, Tai Long Daoren, Starry Sky Louzhu, the All-Requests-Granted Altar, the original world... Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

The world was vast, and there were countless secrets.

Among the myriad realms and heavens, and the Ganges River of great worlds, what kind of powerhouses were there?

After a long, long time, An Qisheng cut off all distracting thoughts and concentrated on the Dao Yi Diagram.

After absorbing another fragment of the Dao Yi Diagram, the Dao Yi Diagram did not change except for becoming brighter. At most, was it more complete than before?

Buzz~

As his mind moved, the warm light on the Dao Yi Diagram flowed like water, and rows of text fell like a waterfall, reflecting in his eyes.

[Dao Yi Diagram (2/50)]

[Diagram Master: An Qisheng (Wang Quan Daoren, Taiji Daoren)]

[Ability 1: A Great Dream of Thousands of Years]

[Ability 2: Insight into Oneself]

[Ability 3: Omniscience]

[Ability 4: Rebirth Through Tribulation (Lost)]

[Ability 5: Great Evolution Heavenly Comprehension]

After absorbing another fragment, the Dao Yi Diagram had one more ability. Other than that, there seemed to be no other changes.

According to the explanation of the Dao Yi Diagram, the fragments of the Dao Yi Diagram were of different sizes, and each fragment contained one or several abilities. Obviously, Gu Changfeng's fragment had two abilities.

"Rebirth Through Tribulation..."

An Qisheng's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Ability 4, which was marked as lost:

Rebirth Through Tribulation, Immortality to Achieve the Dao

Then information about this ability flowed into his mind.

This ability was actually related to 'death'.

Every time one died in a great tribulation, one would be randomly reborn in another world, making one virtually immortal!

Compared to this ability, what was the so-called immortality of the Huang Tian Ten Vicious?

And only now did An Qisheng know that all the abilities of the Dao Yi Diagram were unique. Once mastered, whether by the Dao Yi Diagram or an individual, there would be no second person or thing in the world that could possess it.

Unless the person who mastered this ability completely died, even as the Dao Yi Diagram Master, one could not use this ability.

The Dao Yi Diagram showed that this ability was already missing, which meant that Gu Changfeng had completely mastered this divine power and had not truly died.

"That's right, with such an ability, it's hard to die even if you want to."

An Qisheng shook his head slightly.

Gu Changfeng's heart, which went where his heart desired, even if it meant dying a hundred times, was extremely suitable for possessing this ability. Even, without such a heart, it would be impossible to perfectly match this ability.

His heart was very peaceful.

There were too many adventures, divine powers, and magical treasures in this world. No one could possess everything. Those who tried to possess everything often ended up with nothing.

An Qisheng naturally understood this principle.

However, there was also a trace of regret. This divine power could be considered a trump card for saving one's life.

Shaking his head slightly, his gaze fell on the last ability. This ability did not have the word 'lost' next to it, which meant that Gu Changfeng had not completely mastered this ability either:

Great Evolution Heavenly Comprehension, Understand Everything

Compared to the Rebirth Through Tribulation, which was a monstrous trump card for saving one's life, this Great Evolution Heavenly Comprehension seemed a bit lackluster, but that was only compared to Rebirth Through Tribulation.

Compared to the three Dao Yi divine powers that An Qisheng possessed, it was even more powerful.

As the name implied, this was a divine power of deduction.

A cultivation technique, as long as it had a slight outline, could be innovated, surpassing predecessors, and reaching the theoretical peak!

Moreover, it was not limited to cultivation techniques.

Everything in the world could be understood and evolved.

As long as the Dao Power was sufficient.

"The inheritance of Xie Qi and the others turned out to have such an origin."

An Qisheng was thoughtful. This Dao Yi divine power was very significant to him.

Because his Taiji Divine Court and Fengshen Bang (Investiture of the Gods) were a fusion of many divine powers. The more divine powers there were, the more vast its power would be. Theoretically, there was no limit to its power.

This Great Evolution Heavenly Comprehension, in a sense, was even more suitable for him than Rebirth Through Tribulation.

Finally, his gaze was fixed on the last line of words:
