The Foundation of Survival

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's body stiffened slightly as he stared intently at the special Great Dao sweeping across the nine heavens and the jade ruyi floating in the void. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

Because the path Jiang Hao is revealing at this moment is the very path he has been pursuing and striving for throughout his life.

From nothing to something, the cause of all effects!

However, the Great Dao that Jiang Hao manifested at this moment was far more perfect than what Yuanshi Tianzun himself had comprehended.

"How did Fellow Daoist Jiang suddenly perfect my Great Dao to such an extent?"

Yuanshi Tianzun and Jiang Hao often sat down to discuss the Dao, analyzing the origins of the Great Dao together, and they were already very familiar with each other's paths.

Even witnessing this scene with my own eyes, I still couldn't hide the shock in my heart.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sighed inwardly:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is truly astonishing. Before your seclusion, your attainments on the path I followed were not as good as mine. Yet, after only a few years, you have surpassed me! Such a speed of progress is beyond the realm of reason. I wonder what kind of opportunity you obtained after leaving the Origin Realm and going to the Tomb Realm."

It is unknown when it began, but every time Yuanshi Tianzun witnessed Jiang Hao displaying the power of the Great Dao, many new insights would involuntarily surge into his mind, continuously supplementing and perfecting his own path of cultivation, and countless previously insurmountable shackles would gradually loosen.

Lingbao Tianzun, who was standing nearby, keenly noticed Yuanshi Tianzun's unusual behavior and asked with some surprise, "Fellow Daoist, this..."

As close friends who had discussed the Dao for many years, Lingbao Tianzun was fully aware of the Great Dao that Yuanshi Tianzun had been seeking all his life, so he was very surprised when he saw Jiang Hao reveal the Great Dao.

Yuanshi Tianzun took a slow, deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and nodded solemnly:

"That's right, the Dao that Fellow Daoist Jiang is showing right now is the very path I've been pursuing. But I never expected that he would reach this point in such a short time."

Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun's pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Unbelievable! To surpass your own path of expertise, Fellow Daoist Jiang, your talent is truly unparalleled throughout the ages."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Gu Feng, Qin Ming, Dugu Potian, and their group all gasped in astonishment.

"To surpass the level of the Great Dao that the Primordial Celestial Venerable specialized in is simply unimaginable in its difficulty!"

"Yuanshi Tianzun was already a top-tier, unparalleled figure, having honed his cultivation over many years, yet the Heavenly Emperor has achieved this—it's terrifying!"

The Black Emperor swayed its enormous tail and asked with great curiosity, "Could this be the complete Great Dao of the Heavenly Emperor?"

Everyone watched curiously, wondering why, although they also felt that this Great Dao was very strong, they still felt that it was not enough for them.

Lingbao Tianzun gently shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the heavens, and slowly said:

"No, Fellow Daoist Jiang's Dao is all-encompassing and boundless, and will certainly not stop here. What we are seeing now is probably just the prelude."

As a fellow Daoist, he still had some understanding of Jiang Hao's Dao.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and agreed, "Fellow Daoist Lingbao is right. With Fellow Daoist Jiang's foundation, the true full picture of the Great Dao has not yet been revealed."

The crowd grew increasingly expectant, quietly awaiting further unusual phenomena.

At this moment, Lingbao Tianzun seemed to be deep in thought, and murmured to himself, "Speaking of which, could it be that my Great Dao will also manifest next, along with Fellow Daoist Jiang?"

He shared a similar fate with Yuanshi Tianzun. As he grew stronger, inspiration from the Great Dao would often emerge out of nowhere, continuously enriching his own path and making the road ahead increasingly clear.

He had previously discussed this matter with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Both of them sensed an inexplicable and special bond between them, which puzzled them greatly. However, despite their attempts to deduce the reason, they were unable to find it.

In the end, they had no choice but to give up, so after this incident, the two often discussed related matters together.

After a moment's thought, the Primordial Celestial Venerable calmly said, "It is highly likely that your Great Dao is also profound and unique. If Fellow Daoist Jiang wishes to fully develop his own Great Dao, your Great Dao is definitely worth learning from."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable highly recognized the Great Dao of the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable, considering it to be a Great Dao no weaker than the cause of his own various fruits.

Lingbao Tianzun's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he gazed intently at the sky, thinking to himself, "Could Fellow Daoist Jiang have surpassed me in the perfection of my Great Dao as well?"

If that were really the case, it would be incredible.

After the Primordial Dao reached its limit, black and white air currents suddenly rose around Jiang Hao!

The blackness is gloomy, cold, silent, and restrained, carrying an extreme stillness and containing the meaning of endless death and annihilation.

White light is warm, vigorous, and full of the power of life that never ceases and lasts for eternity.

The black and white energies swirled and intertwined, linking beginning and end, generating each other in a cycle, and finally condensed into a profound and mysterious Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram!

Within the essence of life, a ray of death's annihilation is quietly conceived; within the silence of death, a wisp of life's vigor silently emerges. Life and death are interdependent, yin and yang complement each other, the cycle continues endlessly, and it will never cease!

Boom!

The moment this Tai Chi diagram took shape, the great Daos of the infinitely high heavens inexplicably surged and trembled, and all the Daos resonated!

The invisible Daoist energy swept across eternity, smoothing out all disorder and restoring balance to Yin and Yang, and stabilizing space and time.

It lacks the explosive dominance of a pioneering era, yet it seems to possess the most profound and stable supporting power in all the heavens.

This is the foundation of existence, the root of the continuity of time, and the basis for the stability of all things!

The reason why all the heavens and myriad realms can exist for so long, why all races and living beings can thrive and multiply, why time and space can be continuous and perpetual, and why the succession of eras can proceed smoothly is because of the existence of this Great Dao.

It bears the rise and fall of all things, stabilizes the heavens and the universe, maintains the operation of time and space, and brings peace to the eternal sea of ​​suffering!

Countless illusory figures of living beings rising and falling in the present world, thousands of laws of the heavens in operation, and all the existing mechanisms of the universe resonate with this Daoist rhythm.

Jiang Hao's body exudes an endless and profound Daoist aura, firmly rooted in the most central and present moment of countless ages, making him immortal and indestructible!

At this moment, it seems that all worldly peace, the existence and balance of all heavens are contained within this Dao!

After the Primordial Great Dao opened up heaven and earth, the Dao that governs existence appeared.

It governs the balance of Yin and Yang, the foundation for the survival of all things, and evolves all order, virtue, and reason in the world. It is serene and inactive, observing the birth and death of eras.

It does not actively create, yet it sustains all existence from collapse.

"This...this is the Dao of the Dao Venerable?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable stared intently for a long time, his eyes filled with deep astonishment and doubt, and he exclaimed in surprise.

As a close Daoist friend who has known each other for countless years, Yuanshi Tianzun has a clear understanding of the Great Dao that Daozun pursues.

Moreover, to him, Dao Venerable is not simply a fellow Daoist.

Dao Zun possesses a strange sense of familiarity and a special bond with Lingbao Tianzun, stemming from the same origin.

Lingbao Tianzun, his gaze fixed on the Taiji diagram floating in the void, was visibly shaken. He slowly nodded, "Indeed, it is the Great Dao of the Dao Venerable. Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have actually perfected the Great Dao of the Dao Venerable to such an extent?"

Dao Zun is a legendary figure who has been passed down through the ages in the Origin Realm. In addition, Yuanshi Tianzun had previously mentioned that mysterious bond, and Lingbao Tianzun had spent a lot of effort studying Dao Zun's Dao.

He was very clear that the core of the Daoist Master's Great Dao was: existence, the eternal existence of the Primordial Chaos, and the foundation for the existence of the world.

Yuanshi Tianzun took a deep breath, his mind churning with disbelief: "This is incredible! The perfection of this Daoist rhyme and legal framework is beyond imagination. In Fellow Daoist Jiang's current state, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is even more like the Daoist Venerable than the Daoist Venerable himself."

Lingbao Tianzun repeatedly exclaimed, "We have personally witnessed Fellow Daoist Jiang's transcendence on the Primordial Great Dao. Now, he has even deduced the Great Dao of the Dao Venerable to such a level. It is truly unimaginable how Fellow Daoist Jiang managed to do it."

The people of Heaven listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and were once again deeply shocked. Their eyes never left Jiang Hao in the center of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and they eagerly awaited the next extraordinary phenomenon.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you haven't perfected the Great Dao of all three of us, have you...?"

Lingbao Tianzun murmured softly, he was a little dazed.

The jade ruyi and the Taiji diagram flowed slowly, and soon the third Daoist aura, which suppressed eternity and was filled with the aura of annihilation, rose up with a roar!

Enveloping the entire chaotic sea of ​​suffering, bringing with it the supreme pressure of the end of an era and the return of all things to nothingness!

Every great prosperity must come to an end, every living being must perish, every era must end in destruction, and every universe must eventually return to silence!

This is the law of the end of all things, the way of the return to nothingness of the era, and the principle of the end of calamity!
