Dao Venerable

Chapter 357 Dao Venerable

Fang Jing shook his head, trying hard to recall. He remembered—the Truth-Seeking Jewel, capable of creating planets, reshaping worlds, slicing through planets, and even destroying them.

Okay, okay, it does have the power to destroy planets.

However, that's not the most important thing. The important thing is that the reason why those ninjas are so durable is because of the existence of chakra. Without chakra, the physical strength of a ninja is not particularly high.

If he could break through to the Golden Core stage, he might be able to try to control the Divine Tree. He remembered that at the end of the story, there was a chance to obtain the power of the Divine Tree.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator's lifespan of three hundred years is enough for him to live until then. If he can break through to the Golden Core stage by then, no, even if he doesn't break through to the Golden Core stage, he might still have a chance to obtain the Divine Tree.

He needs to disguise himself, infiltrate Konoha, and use his knowledge of the plot to build a good relationship with the protagonist. Perhaps, in the end, he will actually be able to obtain the Divine Tree.

Once he obtains the Divine Tree, he will return to the cultivation world and, with the help of its power which is close to that of immortals and gods, seize cultivation resources and achieve true supreme immortality. Furthermore, once he becomes an immortal, he can even try to use the Divine Tree to devour the cultivation world and obtain an immortal fruit.

"Haha, good, good!!! That's it, hahaha, that's it! This is my way! Haha!!!"

Fang Jing became excited immediately. He decided that once Konoha was established, he would try to enter Konoha, become a villager, and quietly wait for the story to begin.

Seize the Divine Tree!

"Unfortunately, chakra has its limits. It might provide some help in the early stages, but later, after I become an immortal, this power will gradually become outdated, or even useless!"

Fang Jing shook his head. He had already begun to think about what would happen after he became an immortal, as if he had already become a god. In reality, he had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"However, it would be good if you could provide me with some assistance in the early stages!"

Thinking this way.

However, at this very moment—

Spacetime distortion!

In an instant, boundless darkness surged into the universe, instantly enveloping the entire cosmos.

Fang Jing's expression froze. In that instant as darkness descended and enveloped him, all the energy within his body was devoured, and then—

His body seemed to evaporate, slowly dissipating and completely perishing. At the moment of his death, he was not even aware that he had died.

To be precise, this is the Tai Xuan Universe, the realm of cultivation and immortality.

This is not an ordinary universe, but a universe with extraordinary power. In this universe, life does not need to rely on luck to advance its civilization. It only needs to absorb an extraordinary power called spiritual energy to continuously improve itself.

In this universe, the birth of life and the emergence of civilization are inevitable. The existence of spiritual energy allows all things in heaven and earth to potentially develop intelligence and transform from inanimate objects into life.

Unlike those worlds without supernatural powers, where the birth of life is a complete miracle, and whether or not true life can be born depends entirely on luck. If you're lucky, life might be born easily; if you're unlucky, no life will be born when the universe restarts.

After all, it's truly random.

It could even be said that for this world of extraordinary life born from spiritual energy, the so-called life in those worlds without magic is something they cannot understand, or even consider to be life.

In their understanding, all life possesses a spirit; without a spirit, it is impossible to generate wisdom or to act.

They couldn't understand how a bunch of things without any spirit could come together to give birth to wisdom; this completely overturned their worldview.

Of course, that was in the ancient universe, when civilization was just beginning to develop, but now they can understand it!

because----

"I never expected to encounter a new universe so easily! Hehe!"

At this moment, in the Tai Xuan Realm, the Boundless Immortal Realm, there is a void containing an incomparably vast power of immortal spirits—a special space-time. The laws of the universe manifest in this space-time. If a mortal comes here, he can instantly become an immortal with just a breath. This is the place closest to the origin of the world.

This is not a naturally existing space-time, but rather a space-time actively created by the three immortal venerables of this world after they merged with the Dao to become saints, with the help of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The Azure Lotus Dao Venerable, the Blood River Dao Venerable, and the Profound Heaven Dao Venerable—these three are the supreme beings who stand at the pinnacle of the immortal path throughout the ages of this universe. Their lifespans are limitless, and they can easily destroy trillions of galaxies, even—

At this moment, Xuan Tian Dao Zun sat cross-legged amidst the boundless Dao principles, merging with the Heavenly Dao. Just then, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon a small world within the Tai Xuan Immortal Cultivation Realm. He sensed abnormal spacetime fluctuations, which belonged to other universes.

The next moment, the River of Time appeared before him, unfolding everything about that small world in his eyes.

"So that's how it is, a time traveler!"

He immediately understood what was going on. In fact, he was also a time traveler. Hundreds of millions of years ago, he obtained another treasure that allowed him to travel through time and space. Relying on that treasure, he came to this universe and eventually cultivated to this level, becoming the first Dao Venerable in this universe. He merged with the Dao and obtained the supreme and eternal status.

From then on, his power became linked to the universe. No, not linked, but rather, the stronger the universe became, the stronger his power would be, and if the universe were destroyed, his power would not disappear.

He is the most powerful Dao Venerable. Unlike the other two Dao Venerables, they are completely bound to the Heavenly Dao. If any problems arise in the universe, the power of the other two Dao Venerables will plummet.

Upon reaching the Dao Venerable realm, the fastest way to increase one's power is to invade other worlds. This was the method he devised. After becoming a Dao Venerable, he analyzed his supreme treasure and successfully obtained the method to construct a gateway connecting different universes. By seizing matter and energy from other universes, he could enter this universe and transform it into the origin of the universe, thereby enhancing its power.

It could even extend the lifespan of the universe indefinitely, and in the process, the power of these Dao Venerables would also be able to grow continuously.

The cultivation system truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest system in the heavens. So far, they have scavenged matter from many universes, and none of these universes possess the power to withstand the strength of a Dao Venerable. In fact, many universes do not even have extraordinary power.

Unfortunately, finding a new universe is far too difficult; even with a very long time, it's unlikely to succeed.

And now—
