Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Please Integrate with the Dao
"I still don’t understand."
Jiang Cheng was a bit puzzled by her reasoning.
"I control the Heavenly Dao, and I become one of your own?"
"So lightly?"
The Immortal Mother nodded: "Yes."
She paused and added, "You originally had a dangerous tendency of establishing your own origin and becoming one with the Dao, which the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate."
"But if you unite with the Heavenly Dao and become its controller, then this hidden danger will be eliminated."
"At that time, you and the Heavenly Dao will be one."
"And among all other immortals, you were originally the most suitable person."
Her words made Brother Cheng feel a little pleased.
"You also see that I’m the best?"
The Immortal Mother didn’t hold back her praise and replied matter-of-factly, "You are more unique than anyone else, even unmatched in Ancient Times."
"With you controlling the Heavenly Dao, I’m actually very relieved."
Her words made Brother Cheng’s mouth nearly stretch to his ears.
In his joy, he didn’t forget to ’praise’ the Immortal Mother back.
"Hahaha, I didn’t realize you have quite an eye!"
The Immortal Mother smiled softly: "Then please proceed with integration."
Brother Cheng felt she might be a bit too enthusiastic.
"After controlling the Heavenly Dao, will I be able to wield its power?"
"Yes."
"What about you? Aren’t you able to wield the power of the Heavenly Dao too?"
The Immortal Mother answered, "I only use it in the capacity of a Celestial Dao Supreme Treasure, which inherently carries the power of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao isn’t under my control."
"I see."
Brother Cheng suddenly understood: "Then I can use all thirteen Celestial Dao Supreme Treasures too?"
"It’s fourteen, including me."
The Immortal Mother didn’t shy away from her identity as the Pusuo Jade Person.
"There’s really no danger?"
"None, the whole process is without any pain."
Brother Cheng took a deep breath, this tremendous opportunity, if not seized, would bring divine retribution.
"Then what am I hesitating for?"
He sheathed his sword deftly and didn’t forget to act aloof in accepting the favor.
"Since you’re so earnestly requesting, how can I turn you down?"
"I’ll reluctantly help you control the Heavenly Dao then."
"Let’s also end the disputes of the Primordial Immortal Realm from eons ago, and henceforth there will be no Heavenly Dao contention, making the world much more peaceful, this indeed is an event of immeasurable merit!"
Though he was self-flattering, the Immortal Mother didn’t seem to mind his rhetoric.
She even nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it’s supreme merit."
Before going in, Brother Cheng suddenly turned back.
"By the way, there’s one thing I never understood."
"What is it?"
"In the Profound Realm, isn’t there also a Heavenly Dao? What are they then?"
According to Ice Extreme Saint Venerable and others, the Three Thousand Realms don’t have a Heavenly Dao, only the Immortal Realm does.
What other realms possess is at most a lingering resonance from the Heavenly Dao of the past.
But the Profound Realm is different indeed, its Heavenly Dao is truly tangible, and even interacted with him.
Yet until now, he hadn’t heard any Celestial Venerable mention the Profound Realm.
It was as if their consciousness simply ignored the existence of this realm.
The Immortal Mother gently opened her lips: "The Profound Realm isn’t one of the Three Thousand Realms."
"Then what are they?"
Honestly, the cultivation system of the Profound Realm differs vastly from any other realm.
Neither does it connect with origin nor with the Heavenly Dao.
Yet, on the other hand, they possess over a thousand Rule’s Profound Patterns.
"It is a world created by someone."
"What? Human-made creation?"
Brother Cheng was astounded: "Who is so capable? Directly created such an enormous complete world? The Creator God?"
The Immortal Mother responded casually, "You must have heard of the theft of the Primordial Immortal Realm Heavenly Dao, right?"
"I’ve heard."
"The Profound Realm was created by that person, and its Heavenly Dao is a small part split from the Immortal Realm."
"This..."
In this regard, the person’s strength surpassed imagination.
"Then where is that person? Right, what’s his name?"
"This has nothing to do with today’s matter."
The Immortal Mother seemed unwilling to discuss that person further.
Seeing he couldn’t extract any more information, Brother Cheng figured it wasn’t much related to him.
No matter how strong the person, they would likely be outmatched by the system, so he ceased his inquiry.
"Then I’ll go ahead!"
"Go."
The Immortal Mother’s pristine face surfaced with a gentle smile, full of satisfaction.
In the next instant, Brother Cheng dashed into that vast expanse of the Heavenly Dao like a bird diving into the forest.
Upon his first contact with the true Heavenly Dao, he felt as though the entire Immortal Realm and the other Four Great Realms were all within his sight.
It was a comprehensive overview.
Meanwhile, he sensed the mysterious cycle of the Heavenly Dao and experienced the lifecycle of everything...
Cause and effect, destiny, laws, fortune, past, future, these elusive things all seemed to take form at this moment.
Everything felt like it just happened, yet also as though it had occurred countless times.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, as if merely a moment, yet simultaneously eternal.
He vaguely noticed, amidst the boundless changes, one thing had remained constant, and that was order.
The Heavenly Dao functioned like a precisely fit controller.
Maintaining the order of all existence.
Anyone who controlled the Heavenly Dao would essentially dominate this order.
And now, he had one foot across this threshold.
No one had achieved this before.
And now, certain perceptions were finally proven wrong.
The Heavenly Dao could neither be refined nor needed refinement.
When he completely merged with the Heavenly Dao, he would also be able to control it.
He was immersed within, entirely lost to self.
Meanwhile, outside, the structure had undergone significant changes.
"A hundred thousand years have passed since the departure of Lord Jiang."
Gong Qing slowly stepped out of the Ice Palace, looked into the distant sky, with a faint trace of longing in her eyes.
"When will he return?"
Beside her, Venerable Yun Suo sighed softly.
"Indeed, if he could see the Ice Realm now, he’d probably be very gratified."
Behind them, Feng Lin and Zhong Bei among others sighed as well.
"None of those who went that time returned alive..."
They didn’t know Jiang Cheng was currently merging with the Heavenly Dao.
Only aware that a shocking upheaval occurred a hundred thousand years ago suddenly.
In that turmoil, the seven Celestial Venerables of the Three Great Realms of Yin, Yang, and Fire perished entirely, and none of the fifty-seven Venerables survived.
Additionally, there were over three hundred Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.
Their Life Tokens all shattered within their respective sects, confirmed as fallen.
Before this, the weakest among the Four Great Realms was the True Ice Realm.
Due to the demise of Celestial Venerable Ming Jue and the Ice Immortal Sect, along with the severe injury of Ice Extreme Saint Venerable, it could be said they lost their qualification to rank equally with the other Three Great Realms.
Once this vulnerability became known externally, it might invite catastrophic disaster.
