Chapter 1 The Ultimate Choice

Ultimately, Taichu also chose to accept Jiang Xuan's invitation. He originally pursued the ultimate power, and even controlled the Boundary Stele, intending to surpass the level of the Controller of the Chaos Universe.

However, the method Jiang Xuan possessed did make him extremely helpless. Once the other party became a Controller and allowed the creatures of the Barren Chaos Universe to practice this method, there was no doubt that the balance between the nine Chaos Universes would be broken, and the Barren Chaos Universe would become the strongest in this boundless space.

Moreover, although the Boundary Stele was in his hands, that initial Chaos Universe was still gestating. It was born at the same time as the nine Chaos Universes, but to this day, the Controllers of the nine Chaos Universes had already appeared one after another, while this Chaos Universe was still unformed.

No one knew how much time this Chaos Universe would need to completely form, hundreds of billions or trillions of Chaos Epochs? No one could say for sure. Even with the Boundary Stele in his hands, it would be impossible to transform it into substantial power in a short time.

If Jiang Xuan's Barren Chaos Universe became strong enough in the future, he still wouldn't be able to protect it. Moreover, the method Jiang Xuan mastered, if perfected to the extreme, could even surpass the Controller. Even if he could truly control the initial universe, he might not be able to defeat it.

On the contrary, now, Jiang Xuan was willing to trade that method, and presented the opportunity to explore the myriad realms before his eyes, how could he miss it? This was another way to become stronger, even completely surpass the former, besides the Origin Chaos Universe.

It was precisely for this reason that he agreed to Jiang Xuan's transaction, and also accepted Jiang Xuan's invitation, willing to work together with him to open up an independent small Chaos Universe in the boundless space, as the temporary core universe of this boundless space. If the initial universe formed in the future, the initial universe would be designated as the core universe.

Of course, this would be carried out after Jiang Xuan became a Controller. Moreover, in the future, as Controllers gradually joined, this Chaos Universe would also transform again and again, until it could ultimately encompass the Dao of all Chaos Universes in the boundless space.

Time passed, and tens of thousands of years had passed. Jiang Xuan's true body, cultivating in the Chaos Origin with a thousand times acceleration of time, finally ended his seclusion on this day, which also meant that he had brought the ultimate Dao of Time and Space to an extreme point.

At that moment, in the Chaos Origin, the mysteries of time and space were constantly evolving. Jiang Xuan had long known the other side of the Great Destruction, understood the path he was going to take. In the endless space-time of destruction in his mind, vitality was also being nurtured. As time continued, the vitality became stronger and stronger.

"Boom!"

Soon, in the core of the space-time of destruction, after endless vitality became strong enough, it finally erupted. All destruction, all darkness disappeared, leaving only the most dazzling and surging vitality.

Endless vitality burst out in all directions, and naturally time and space appeared, yin and yang differentiated, and the five elements were born. Especially after cause and effect appeared, endless vitality was touched. Under the connection of cause and effect, the five elements collided, and yin and yang also entangled with each other. Those vitality began to transform into lives…

Chaos was born, stars, void, life… everything, everything appeared at this moment. With a single thought, Jiang Xuan could open up a different universe. With a single thought, he seemed to be able to integrate all Daos.

"All Daos return to one, transforming into the ultimate."

"This is the Supreme-level Ultimate Time-Space Dao!"

The other side of the Great Destruction is creation, creating something from nothing, creating all Daos and all things. Realizing the other side, naturally, Jiang Xuan also stepped into the threshold of the ultimate supreme with his other foot.

"Whoosh~~~"

In the golden core Chaos Space within his body, on that towering Dao Tree, the most dazzling eternal flower gradually withered.

But at the same time as the eternal flower withered, a fruit was growing. The more this fruit grew, the more it became human-shaped, and at the same time, the fruit contained a vast and mighty Time-Space Dao rhyme…

Finally, this fruit became human-shaped, with the same appearance as Jiang Xuan, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the inner world was also expanding rapidly. This was originally created by Jiang Xuan with reference to the "Five Primordial Greatnesses," even if it was not the real Five Primordial Greatnesses, it also had a trace of its charm. With the origin mysteries of the boundless space, vast energy was constantly transformed into matter, and infinite universes, infinite galaxies, and endless darkness appeared in a very short period of time.

Just at the moment of breakthrough, the entire inner world absorbed the void energy of the boundless space, and opened up to a size of one-tenth of the nine Chaos Universes, and it was still constantly transforming, truly showing a tendency to transform into a complete Chaos Universe.

The power of the entire Chaos began to surge, and endless power began to gather, Jiang Xuan's body began to change, and his consciousness rapidly climbed and expanded, completely expanding to every part of the entire Chaos Universe, resonating with the operation origin of the Chaos Universe, and the origin of the Chaos Universe was also cheering and happy.

Without any resistance, Jiang Xuan's consciousness naturally permeated every part of the Chaos Universe's origin, and he could control and refine it at any time.

"Is this the true appearance of the Chaos Universe's origin?" Jiang Xuan was also intoxicated by it.

Even though he already knew, he was still shocked now. The origin of this Chaos Universe was composed of countless eternal ultimate Daos, and the "Eternal Ultimate Time-Space Dao" was only one of them.

There were also other Eternal Ultimate Cause-Effect Dao, Eternal Ultimate Sword Dao, Eternal Ultimate Life-Death Dao, Eternal Ultimate Five Elements Dao…

All were Eternal Ultimate Daos, all were at the same level, but the power was strong and weak. But in fact, during the Origin Continent period, every kind of ultimate Dao was at the same level, but after the Great Destruction of the last era, the Daos re-nurtured from the nine Chaos Universes were stronger and weaker in different aspects.

And these Eternal Ultimate Daos influenced each other and also formed a kind of instinct of the Chaos Universe's origin. This instinct would naturally maintain the operation of the Chaos Universe.

"Hoping that I become the Controller of the Chaos Universe?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Xuan's mouth, and then his consciousness directly entered the origin of the Chaos Universe and began to refine the entire origin. There was no obstruction, and everything went smoothly.

"Rumble~~~"

The Daos that originally ran naturally in the origin also changed. Originally, they relied on each other's influence to operate, but now, with Jiang Xuan's refinement, everything changed according to Jiang Xuan's will. All the Eternal Ultimate Daos all began to revolve around the newly emerged "Supreme Ultimate Time-Space Dao" in the center.

Boom~~~

The Supreme Ultimate Time-Space Dao was the new foundation of the entire Chaos Universe, with myriad Daos as supplements. At this moment, the Chaos Universe had a true core!

"What a big movement!"

"It's Tai Xuan, the power of the entire Chaos Universe is pouring in. He is going to become the Controller!"

"Hahaha, that's great, our Chaos Universe is finally going to give birth to a Controller!"

In the Chaos Universe's origin, other Supremes also sensed it at the first moment. The feeling of the Chaos Universe's power being added to them made them all tremble.

After a long time, the power dissipated, and a figure appeared out of thin air. It was Jiang Xuan. After becoming the Ultimate Supreme and also becoming the Controller, his power reached an unbelievable level. All power, all life, did not pose any threat to him in his eyes.

"Tai Xuan, congratulations!"

"Hahaha, our Chaos Universe has finally given birth to a Controller. We can rest easy from now on!"

The Supremes were all extremely happy. They naturally recognized Jiang Xuan's becoming a Controller. If he hadn't held back Yiyer before, they wouldn't have been able to gain an advantage on the outer battlefield.

Moreover, after becoming a Controller, they no longer had to worry about being invaded, and could cultivate and develop in peace, moving towards higher realms in the future.

"Please wait a moment, seniors." Jiang Xuan smiled, and then a scene of time was reversed. In just a blink of an eye, he saw an elegant and unrestrained white-robed scholar, and an ancient and vicissitudes-filled creature.

"Qi, Shanggu!"

Supreme Hongran naturally recognized those two people. They were his former friends, but unfortunately, they both died in pursuit of the path to becoming a Controller.

In the next moment, the two Supremes began to condense. Their souls and true spirits were all reunited from the void, as if Jiang Xuan had fished them out from that time node and reappeared them in this world.

"Qi, Shanggu, that's great, you've been resurrected too."

Hongran said with emotion, with thousands of words to say, and also introduced Jiang Xuan to them. This was considered the first meeting of the nine leaders of the cultivator civilization. Each of them was also filled with emotion. Having a Controller and not having a Controller were completely two different concepts.

Even Supreme-level lives could be resurrected by reversing time. This kind of method was simply beyond imagination.

After this meeting, Jiang Xuan also met with Taichu again, completed the transaction at the beginning, and obtained the Boundary Stele as he wished. As for the *Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength* (Shén Xiàng Zhènyù Jìn), it was also obtained by Taichu.

Jiang Xuan also specially gifted him a divine thought, which contained his cultivation insights before the Great Destruction. As long as he thoroughly comprehended it, it would not be difficult to deduce the *Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength* before the Great Destruction.

……

Chaos Space. After too long, Jiang Xuan entered again. In these hundreds of thousands of years, he had never stepped into it, but as his realm became higher and higher, they could more and more appreciate the mystery of the Chaos Space.

The Chaos Universe's origin naturally could not radiate here, but even if he now grasped the power to become the Ultimate Supreme, he was like an ordinary person here. This kind of creation must be at the heavens-level (zhūtiān jí de), but what kind of existence created it was still a mystery.

"Are you the only one here?" After entering the Chaos Space, Jiang Xuan also saw one person, it was Perfect Jiang Xuan. If he remembered correctly, the other party was also waiting for an opportunity, after all, he didn't want to face the Dark Immortal Emperor alone, and he also had to guard against Above the Heavens (Shàngcāng Zhī Shàng).

So in order to hide his true body's strength, he chose to lie dormant, burying his true body, waiting for Shi Hao to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and then killing into the other side of the Boundary Sea together with him.

Of course, his remaining five clones were also outside, all of them had become Immortal Kings, and now they were sitting in various places, also acting as the eyes of his true body outside.

"I've been guarding here for these hundreds of thousands of years, after all, sleeping in the Burial Ground is quite boring, so I simply stayed here for a long time."

Perfect Jiang Xuan said with a smile. Entering the Chaos Space, he could at least chat with himself from other worlds. How could he lie dormant in the Burial Ground, except for watching his own memories, he just watched his own memories.

Of course, he would also go out every once in a while, so that he could understand the current situation, and when the time was right, he would also choose to break out of the ground.

The two naturally shared their memories and power. Perfect Jiang Xuan couldn't help but reveal a trace of amazement in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect you to have become a Controller, and your inner world has grown to that extent… Unfortunately, the origin power of the Chaos Universe cannot be shared."

The Chaos Universe was considered an external object, even in the boundless space of the Barren World, the origins between different Chaos Universes could not coexist, let alone be shared to the myriad realms.

"Be content, having this Ultimate Time-Space Dao is enough to allow most of us from other worlds to go further. It's just that I didn't expect that so many new people have appeared in these hundreds of thousands of years."

Barren Jiang Xuan recalled the creatures in his memories, and couldn't help but be curious, if possible, he also wanted to go to those worlds.

"After all, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, it's normal to have more people, even on my side, it feels like it's almost time." Perfect Jiang Xuan said, under his intervention, Shi Hao was not killed by Ao Cheng and other Immortal Kings, but in order to perfect the tenth reincarnation seal, he also spent hundreds of thousands of years.

But now he has stepped on the Immortal King path, and directly became a giant among the Immortal Kings. Perfect Jiang Xuan felt that the time for him to break out of the ground was also approaching.

"It seems that next, it's my turn to replace you and stay here for a long time." Barren Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile, becoming a Controller, he had already stood at the pinnacle of cultivation in that boundless space.

What he needs more now is to open up a new Dao, and in this Chaos Space, he can see the Daos of various worlds, and he can just learn from them.

Moreover, his second primordial spirit and clones are also outside. After becoming a Controller, the strength of these two bodies has also far surpassed the Ultimate Supreme. Basically, all matters can be completely resolved, and he doesn't need to take action at all.

"Haha… that's right." Perfect Jiang Xuan smiled.

……

In a magnificent cave dwelling, essence surged, and Chaos pervaded, accompanied by auspicious glow, even the soil was glowing, it was the soil of all things, also known as breathing earth (xī rǎng)!

Here, there were immortal medicines swaying, with a fragrant aroma. This was a burial ground, but it was not gloomy. On the contrary, it was stronger than many immortal holy lands, and extremely suitable for people to cultivate the Dao.

A tomb stood alone here, and it seemed out of place compared to this auspicious holy land, but it seemed to be the origin of everything, as if all the auspiciousness in this cave dwelling came from this place.

Buzz buzz buzz~~

Suddenly, the lonely grave trembled, and the soil of all things was gradually propped open. Gradually, a bronze ancient coffin broke through the soil and reappeared in the world.

The ancient coffin was not big, it could only accommodate an adult human race. There was still breathing earth mixed between the seams. It looked dilapidated, but when this ancient coffin emerged, all the immortal medicines and divine materials in the cave dwelling all lay prostrate on the ground, as if welcoming their master.

A purplish-golden rainbow of light descended from the void, penetrating the universe, and directly shot into the cave dwelling, landing on the ancient coffin, and then turned into a cloud of haze, hazy and enveloping the ancient coffin.

Immediately afterwards, the ancient coffin slowly opened, like a universe being replayed. Immediately afterwards, in that universe, a white-clothed figure slowly emerged, opened his eyes, and yin and yang time and space seemed to be evolving, but after a few breaths, it disappeared, turning into a pair of bright black eyes, and his spirit gradually recovered, and vitality returned to this body again.

"Fellow Daoist is awake?"

At the same time, in another divine cave dwelling deep in the Burial Ground, an existence who had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time opened his eyes with a trace of a smile, and his gaze seemed to cross mountains and rivers, seeing the vast world.

Jiang Xuan looked back and also saw the other party, he was a King of the Burial Ground. In the past, he made a deal with the immortal domain three-life medicine, and the other party also sent him a supreme creation land as his sleeping place.

"Hundreds of thousands of years, it's time to wake up."

Jiang Xuan chuckled, slowly got up, and took a step, and had already passed through endless galaxies, stepping into another ancient world, and came to the front of that ancient Burial King.
