From Nothing to Something, the Cause of All Effects

Black King immediately wagged its tail, its face full of pride and excitement, and spoke first to explain:

"Haha, you two Celestial Venerables, you've come at just the right time! You have no idea how amazingly much progress the Heavenly Emperor has made since you went into seclusion. The Heavenly Emperor has now truly reached the pinnacle of immortality!"

It explained with excitement and patience:

"Ordinary immortals in the mortal realm can only reach the pinnacle of immortality after nine lifetimes at most, and even then, they reach their limit. But the Heavenly Emperor forcibly broke through the shackles of nine lifetimes, reaching an unprecedented pinnacle of immortality. This is a completely new realm that no one has ever set foot in throughout the ages!"

"Not only that, the Dao Fruit Method created by the Heavenly Emperor has also completely reached the legendary perfection."

"Now the Heavenly Emperor aims for a double breakthrough: simultaneously attempting to reach the Creation Realm of the Dao Fruit Technique and breaking through to the Mortal Immortal Realm, ultimately ascending to the Immortal King Realm!"

After hearing the Black Emperor's detailed explanation, the pupils of Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun suddenly shrank, and the calm and composed expressions on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief!

"this……"

The two men trembled slightly, exchanged a glance, and both saw utter horror in each other's eyes!

The pinnacle of immortality!

The legend has come to an end!

They knew all too well how difficult and extraordinary those two realms were!

Because they had both cultivated the Dao Fruit Method and deeply explored the path to immortality in the mortal world, they understood best just how arduous and difficult the legendary path to perfection truly was.

After the Black Emperor explained what the pinnacle of immortality was, they understood even more clearly how difficult it was to reach the so-called pinnacle of immortality.

Those who can complete nine lifetimes of mortal life are already geniuses of all ages, and now Fellow Daoist Jiang has reached the pinnacle of immortality.

A storm raged within them, filled with disbelief.

They've only been in seclusion for a short time!

However, this mere moment is but a fleeting instant in the vast expanse of cultivation!

But Fellow Daoist Jiang actually soared from his original realm all the way to the pinnacle of immortality and achieved the legendary perfection!

Moreover, it should be noted that another important reason why their seclusion was able to accelerate and successfully complete their eighth mortal transformation was thanks to Jiang Hao's previous unification of all paths.

The transformation allowed the entire Dao of Heaven and Earth to reach its perfect sublimation, and they also benefited greatly from it. This is why the eighth incarnation was able to complete the transformation so quickly; otherwise, it would have taken much longer under normal circumstances.

Even with such a great opportunity, they still couldn't keep up with Jiang Hao's cultivation speed!

Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but murmur in amazement, his tone filled with sighs and shock:

"At the pinnacle of immortality, you're about to break through two cultivation methods! Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is simply too heaven-defying, truly unbelievable!"

Lingbao Tianzun nodded repeatedly, filled with emotion:

"We have long known that Fellow Daoist Jiang's talent surpasses all others in the heavens, and his actions often defy common sense, yet this performance is still unbelievable!"

"In such a short time, he has reached the pinnacle of immortality, a height unmatched throughout history, and perfectly transmitted the Dao Fruit—a feat unparalleled in all time!"

They were among the people in the world who knew Jiang Hao best, perhaps even the most.

After all, they had been fellow Daoists for many years, constantly discussing and exchanging Daoist insights with Jiang Hao, and watching him continuously break through the heavens and create miracles. They had long been accustomed to his incredible abilities.

But this time, the two were still deeply shocked!

This speed of breakthrough and this leap in cultivation have completely exceeded the common sense of the heavens and are not like the transformation that a normal cultivator should have!

Even the Chaotic Ancient Heavenly Emperor didn't cultivate this fast, did he?

"Um!"

Gu Feng, Qin Ming, Dugu Potian, and the others standing to the side nodded emphatically, their faces full of agreement, and they were equally shocked.

Throughout history, who has ever been able to achieve two realms in one step and break through the limits?

Only the Heavenly Emperor!

After a long while, the two Celestial Venerables suppressed the shock in their hearts and looked up again at the steady and upright figure in the center of the sea of ​​suffering in the sky, their eyes filled with deep expectation and solemnity.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke slowly, his tone filled with anticipation and excitement:

"Breaking through the Creation Realm, breaking through the Immortal King Realm..."

"The Dao Fruit Method was created by Fellow Daoist Jiang himself, which is why no one throughout history has ever stepped into the Creation Realm. Fellow Daoist Jiang can be considered a pioneer throughout the ages!"

"And the Immortal King Realm is the highest realm that no one in our Origin Realm has ever reached since its creation!"

Lingbao Tianzun's gaze was intense as he spoke softly:

"Today's breakthrough is unprecedented in history, and we are fortunate to witness it. Let us quietly observe this supremely historic moment!"

"Yes, now comes the moment to witness a miracle!"

All eyes were fixed on Jiang Hao in the center of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, filled with anticipation as they awaited the appearance of the Creation Immortal King!

Above the nine heavens, countless Dao traces continuously rose and manifested around Jiang Hao's body.

The Great Dao of Time and Space flows and shimmers, the Dao patterns of cause and effect intertwine and rise and fall, the laws of life and death alternate between light and darkness, and countless other Daos such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Era, and Creation emerge.

Each path, without conflict or contradiction, intertwined and merged with the others, surrounding Jiang Hao in an orderly fashion. The myriad paths resonated in unison, their sounds echoing through the void.

In the Heavenly Court, Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun gazed intently into the distance, their hearts filled with emotion.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke slowly, his tone filled with heartfelt admiration:

"The breadth of the Great Dao that Fellow Daoist Jiang has explored is truly astonishing. What is most remarkable is that he has not only explored it, but has comprehended each Great Dao to the extreme and grasped its original essence."

Lingbao Tianzun nodded slightly, deeply agreeing: "The myriad paths run parallel without conflicting with each other. Such profound understanding is rare throughout history, and we two are far inferior to it."

They used to be able to keep up with Jiang Hao, but later on, the gap widened.

After waiting quietly for a moment, a loud bang exploded!

An endless stream of chaotic energy exploded from Jiang Hao's body, causing the entire silent void to tremble violently!

The myriad Great Daos that appeared around Jiang Hao began to converge and gather inwards, with countless streams of light, Dao patterns, and laws constantly merging and eventually condensing into a perfectly round, lightless Great Dao ball.

The ball of light was small, hovering quietly in front of Jiang Hao. It seemed to be isolated from all time, space and cause and effect. The inside could not be seen from the outside, but it contained the origin of countless great Daos.

It did not wantonly unleash its violent pressure, but simply by hovering quietly, it caused all the torrents in the entire sea of ​​suffering to slow down and surge involuntarily. All the afterimages of time and the threads of cause and effect gave way, as if this ball of light was the destination of all paths, the beginning and end of all laws and principles of the heavens, mysterious and unfathomable, supreme and unparalleled.

The Great Dao light slowly descended, and then a mysterious 36th-grade green lotus slowly rose from beneath Jiang Hao, taking root in the turbid currents of the Bitter Sea and suspending itself in space and time!

The blue lotus leaves are clear and transparent, untouched by any dust or bitterness. Each petal exudes the most primordial and original chaotic Daoist charm, with intricate and complex Daoist patterns that are timeless and immortal.

It appears gentle and tranquil, yet it carries the original vitality of all heavens, suppressing the most primordial source of the Dao throughout the ages, and is supreme.

Despite the surging torrents of suffering, the rampant causality, and the shattering of time around it, this mysterious Great Dao Azure Lotus remained as steady as a rock, unmoved and unshakable, suppressing all directions.

Everyone in the Heavenly Court witnessed this scene and was greatly shocked, with exclamations of amazement rising and falling.

"What a terrifying azure lotus phenomenon! This aura... isn't it a bit too supreme and sacred!"

"Yes, it was merely a phantom manifestation of the Great Dao, yet it made me feel a sense of submission."

As they spoke, many people subconsciously turned their gazes to Wan Qing, who was standing to the side. Everyone knew that Wan Qing's true form was the Chaos Green Lotus, and they couldn't help but make comparisons.

The Black Emperor eagerly swung its thick tail, looked up at Wan Qing, and asked loudly, "Great Emperor, your true form is the Chaos Green Lotus. Can you tell me how your Green Lotus compares to the Heavenly Emperor's?"

Instantly, all eyes turned to Wan Qing, filled with curiosity, awaiting his answer.

Even Qin Ming and Di Chen, who grew up with Wan Qing, looked at Wan Qing with curiosity.

The group of Wan Qing looked on with curiosity, then gazed at the thirty-sixth-grade blue lotus above the Bitter Sea. Their expressions were solemn, and they sighed softly, their tone calm:

"They are worlds apart and cannot be compared. In my previous life, I was indeed a Chaos Green Lotus transformed from a Celestial King, and my foundation was already rare throughout the ages. But the Heavenly Emperor's lotus was formed from the unity of all myriad paths, carrying his Great Dao Fruit. They are not on the same level at all."

Wan Qing was very calm and showed no sadness. He knew his origins, but he never thought that the Immortal King's past life was anything special.

Although the Immortal King's Dao Fruit is very powerful, it is still far inferior to that of his master. This is a qualitative difference.

After hearing this, everyone felt the same way. Jiang Hao's Great Dao Azure Lotus did indeed give them a sense of supreme power.

"A blue lotus transformed from the Great Dao—truly remarkable!"

boom!

Just then, the chaotic void suddenly trembled violently, and the entire boundless, churning sea of ​​eternal suffering abruptly froze for a moment, freezing all the turbid waves, cause and effect, and the afterimages of time!

The next moment, a supreme and timeless Daoist aura burst forth from Jiang Hao's body, sweeping across the entire Bitter Sea!

These Daoist principles are pure and pristine, carrying the supreme power of creation originating from the primordial chaos!

The endless, pure white primordial light pierced through the thick, turbid currents of the sea of ​​suffering, tearing apart the layers of darkness of eternity, and illuminating a singularity of the most primordial and original nothingness.

There is no flow of time and space, no entanglement of cause and effect, no living beings, no universe, only an absolute void, the ultimate beginning before the birth of everything!

Immediately afterwards, a burst of boundless, primordial vitality exploded forth!

From absolute nothingness, the first rudimentary form of the Great Dao was born, the first wisp of spacetime trajectory, the first piece of primordial chaos...

This seems to be the beginning of all ages, the origin of all things, and the cause of all supreme results!

Countless primordial Dao patterns appeared out of thin air, covering the entire void and sea of ​​suffering.

All the fragments of past time that flow back, all the remnants of the opening of ancient eras, and all the original source of cause and effect throughout the ages, are all drawn together and gathered by this supreme power, finally settling into one.

At this moment, the origin of all ages is in your own hands!

This great Dao governs the beginning of an era, bears the origin of all things, and determines the origin of all ages, representing the creation from nothingness.

As this mysterious path unfolded, spiritual light rose above Jiang Hao's head, intertwining with light and darkness, creating countless mysteries. Endless chaotic energy gathered layer by layer, finally condensing into a mysterious and ancient jade ruyi!

The Ruyi scepter appears both real and illusory, both small and large. It seems to be only a few inches in size, but in the next moment it feels as if it can encompass all the heavens and the earth.

Its surface flows with the primordial luster of boundless chaos, concealing the ultimate mystery of the origin from nothingness and the generation of all paths.

It contains the ultimate truth of the universe, where everything is yet to come and all things are possible.

The myriad origins and traces of the Dao, the principles of the beginning of an era, and the primordial cause and effect of eternity all surround this mysterious jade ruyi.

The jade ruyi trembled slightly, and various profound meanings of the Great Dao manifested, as if time and space were frozen in place.

"this……"

Everyone was stunned, especially Yuanshi Tianzun, who watched all this with a strange look in his eyes, and suddenly had a special feeling in his heart.

"What's going on?"
