Chapter 428: Chapter 325: The Path is Endless_2

Speaking of this, his expression became complex, and he felt a certain bitterness inside.

I had thought that, even if I weren’t the peak of the chaotic universe, I would still be one of the top existences, but now...

"I feel the same way, that kind of advancement in my understanding of the Dao is truly irresistible!" Supreme of the Blue Waves said in a somber voice, as if still immersed in that sensation.

"Although it was only for a few moments, I feel like I haven’t made such great progress in an entire Epoch." Another Supreme sighed. "Who knows when we’ll be able to comprehend the Great Path again!"

The other Supremes each spoke of their experiences in the Dao Repository Pavilion, but none touched upon anything substantive.

In the end, the Supreme of the Dao Realm said gravely, "Why not share the insights we just experienced.

All the Supremes agreed.

Although they were all Supremes, each had their own strengths and weaknesses, and their understanding of the Great Path was certainly different.

By exchanging their experiences, they could draw parallels and promote mutual advancement.

Suddenly, the Supreme of the Spirit Realm frowned and asked, "Why haven’t the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm and the Supreme of the Origin Realm come? Nor have I seen their disciples attempting to breach the Dao Repository Pavilion."

The Supreme of the Dao Realm shook his head and laughed, "It is said that Kongxing, the Saint Heir, has fled the Buddha Sect and vanished without a trace."

Supreme of the Blue Waves snorted coldly, "Hmph, what Saint Heir, Dao Heir, they are merely beings nurtured by our Primordial Source, and then they developed spiritual intelligence. Surely the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm doesn’t harbor any pity for Kongxing?"

"Regardless of their spiritual intelligence, they have lived as beings for nearly an Epoch, and we have treated them with nothing but kindness."

"When did the two fellows of the Buddhist and Origin Realms become so benevolent?"

"Regardless of their spiritual intelligence, they have indeed lived as beings for nearly an Epoch, and we too have treated them with nothing but kindness."

"It seems the Origin Supreme has developed feelings for that little beast, which is truly laughable."

"Those two are simply fools..."

The other Supremes also spoke up, many of them scoffing at the actions of the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm and the Supreme of the Origin Realm.

In the end, the Supreme of the Dao Realm sighed, "We initially nurtured beings as a last resort to hide from the Epochal Cataclysm. Since they are not willing, we cannot force them."

The Supreme of Darkness nodded, "The number of Supremes in a Chaotic Epoch is fixed; only when one Supreme falls, does a new one emerge. Their actions are only beneficial and not harmful to us."

Supreme of Light said with a smile, "Once we fully transfer our Primordial Source into a new vessel and shed the body that has decayed, the path of the Dao will once again broaden. We will grasp this Epoch’s chance for survival and explore the higher realms of the Great Path!"

The other Supremes said nothing, regardless of their original thoughts; they had all done the same.

And to survive, to prolong their path, these sacrifices were negligible.

Even if it meant deceiving the entire Epoch, making all beings of the Myriad Realms live in a web of lies.

Because, in the end, they, the Supremes, would be the ultimate winners.

...

At this moment, in a barren world not far from the Vast Wilderness, a group of strong beings from the Buddhist Realm were in pursuit.

Leading them was none other than the renowned Sage King Buddha of the Buddhist Realm.

The object of their pursuit was the little monk-looking Saint Heir Kongxing, who was covered in blood and in a sorry state.

"Kongxing, we will part ways here," said the Sage King Buddha with a complex expression, "The Vast Wilderness is not far from here. With the Chaos Martial Ancestor presiding over it, once you enter, the Supremes will not dare to make a move."

"Thank you, Sage King Buddha," Kongxing replied, "However, I still wish to see the Supreme one last time. Please grant me this request!"

"Alas," the Sage King Buddha sighed softly.

Suddenly, a burst of Buddha’s light appeared before him, coalescing into a phantom figure—it was the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm!

"We pay our respects to the Supreme!" the group saluted.

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm nodded slightly, then waved his hand and transported Kongxing and himself into a sealed space.

"Supreme, I don’t understand," Kongxing immediately asked, "You once said that I am a being nurtured by your Primordial Source, the hope for the rebirth of your spirit, but now why do you let me go?"

"Indeed, our relationship seems paternal, but in reality, we are both manifestations of myself," the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm said, "I am the predecessor, and you are the successor."

The Buddha’s way strives for enlightenment in all three lifetimes, but the past and future ultimately amount to nothingness. What could be better than the present?

Moreover, my past form has already decayed.

"So, you are the hope of the Buddha,"

Kongxing fell silent.

When the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm initially severed the Primordial Source to nurture sentient beings, he must have considered living another life.

But now, he no longer thinks this way.

The past, the present, the future, it’s all one person.

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm didn’t need to go to such lengths; he smiled and said, "Go then, to the Vast Wilderness, and find the Golden Cicada who has comprehended the laws of causality. Perhaps he carries the hope for the continuation of the Buddha’s path."

After he spoke, his ethereal figure disappeared.

With solemn respect, Kongxing made a bow and then, without looking back, headed towards the Vast Wilderness.

Meanwhile, in the Origin Realm.

Compared to other top-tier worlds like the Dao Realm, Buddhist Realm, Heaven Realm, etc., this realm appeared even more majestic, with an even mightier aura within.

Not only that, around the edges of this realm, one could occasionally see gigantic beasts flying by, each radiating an immensely powerful primitive aura.

These were the exceedingly rare Chaos Primordial Beasts.

"Father, I’ve heard that Wu Xuan, Xi Ling, and the others have all condensed the essence of the Laws and ascended to the thirty-first floor of the Dao Repository Pavilion, granting those Supremes a chance for enlightenment of the Great Path. Please rest assured, father, I’ll enter seclusion right away and will not disappoint you!"

The divine beast with four hooves and a strong determination in its eyes spoke.

"It’s alright, Cai Er," the Origin Supreme smiled and said, "Even if they have had an epiphany of the Great Path, what of it? They’re still not a match for your father.

That old immortal, the Supreme of the Dao Realm, I could pin him to the ground with just one swipe of my claw."

"Father is bragging again," laughed the little beast Cai Er.

"I’m not boasting; look, which one of those fellows dares to lay a hand on your father?" the Origin Supreme laughed.

Yet, as he looked at Cai Er, a complex expression flickered in the depths of his eyes.

The opportunity for the Supremes like the Supreme of the Dao Realm to gain an epiphany of the Great Path undoubtedly made him envious.

But if it came at the cost of Cai Er’s life, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

...

The Realm of Artifacts.

Laozi, also known as Tai Qing, arrived at the palace of the Lord of the Realm of Artifacts.

Ten thousand years ago, using the blood essence of Saint Lord Ji Yan, he took the latter’s place and thereby infiltrated the Realm of Artifacts.

Ever since then, he had been cultivating diligently in the Realm of Artifacts, greatly improving his mastery over the Dao of Artifacts’ essence of the Laws.

This time, the unexpected summoning by the Realm Lord of Artifacts had piqued his curiosity, coupled with a sudden surge of anxiety.

Be careful!

Entering the great hall, Laozi, bearing the appearance of Saint Lord Ji Yan, took the lead with a greeting: "I have seen the Realm Lord."

Yet the Realm Lord of Artifacts sneered, "Ten thousand years ago, it was rumored in the Vast Wilderness that a certain Laozi, with the embodiment of a holy child-level mixed yuan Great Luo, prematurely comprehended the essence of the Dao of Artifacts’ Laws,

but after the Divine Realm conquered the Vast Wilderness, they searched for over a thousand years with no success,

At that time, we in the Realm of Artifacts also sent people to the Vast Wilderness to search, but we were hunted by the Divine Realm and ultimately escaped with a Limitless Blood Escape Talisman...

Your methods are very clever, to tell you the truth, I didn’t see any difference between you and Saint Lord Ji Yan.

I think this must be the handiwork of the Chaotic Martial Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Laozi lifted his head and sighed softly, asking, "How did you discover it?"

The Realm Lord of Artifacts looked coldly at him, "Because you overlooked a flaw; you and Saint Lord Ji Yan are ultimately not the same person, and even though you imitate him almost perfectly, your nature will drive you to subconsciously make different actions and choices than Saint Lord Ji Yan.

And this is something I noticed after tens of thousands of years of observation."

Laozi fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You’re wrong, I didn’t overlook that flaw."
