Chapter 41 My Path

Rippling layers, the [fishing line] descending from the firmament's void, and the white-haired Daoist whose true face was almost impossible to discern, combined to create the illusion that one was simply trapped within a container, with no way to retreat, no way to escape, and about to be suppressed and directly confined.

The Turbid World Water God was unwilling, and the countless laws around him changed unpredictably.

He directly sacrificed his Dao fruit.

Knowing that this was the crucial moment determining his life or death, rather than being inexplicably fished up and dying in confusion, it was better to fight with all his might. However, at this moment, he felt extreme regret. If he hadn't weakened his fighting spirit earlier, wanting to rely on the characteristics of various water currents to trap and kill the Huai River Calamity Lord, and hadn't anticipated the other's understanding of the Great Dao, he wouldn't have been backfired upon.

He wouldn't have been reduced to such a sorry state.

At this moment, forcibly unleashing his full strength and stimulating his own Dao fruit, the surrounding aura suddenly erupted, even stronger than before—the realm of the Ten Pinnacle Dao Fruits, especially with such determination and resolve, could be defeated, but was extremely difficult to kill without prior preparation.

Especially for someone like the Turbid World Water God, who was extremely skilled at surviving.

He unleashed his full strength, stimulated the power of his Dao fruit, and then, in an instant, made his move.

Gathering ten thousand waters into a cage to block the area in front of him, while he himself rapidly retreated, trying to escape.

Wei Yuan's main body was not present at the moment, so he had to tap the void with his fingers, and the ripples vibrated in layers, transforming into layers of formations. The Turbid World Water God only saw the silver law ripples constantly vibrating in the void ahead, blocking his path. His expression was ugly as he tried to dodge. In the desperate situation of being on the verge of death, he surprisingly burst out with strength exceeding his usual level.

He was able to withstand the layers of waves and narrowly avoid the sharp sword Qi.

Wei Yuan slightly turned his fingers.

Fishing in the chaotic void.

Perhaps because he had just been pondering and contemplating the changes of the sword formation here, Wei Yuan naturally used the Zhuxian Sword Formation to fight against the enemy from afar. Countless sword lights changed and flowed, and he only moved the laws in the chaotic void. Below, beside the Turbid World Water God, was endless sword Qi, surging and majestic, with a grandeur no less than that of the Great Thousand!

Earth, water, wind, and fire reappeared one by one.

The Four Great Elements within the domain moved as he wished.

Currently, the [Confine], [Suppress], and [Kill] aspects of the Zhuxian Sword Formation created by Wei Yuan all appeared.

Transforming into a cold, chilling light, the sword Qi was like frost.

And the Turbid World Water God was now trapped here, in a rather miserable state, but barely able to maintain his own state. He was even adjusting his divine form, gradually recovering in this Zhuxian Sword Formation. The Turbid World Water God's heart slowly calmed down, and he was certain that this time he should finally have a change of luck!

At least he could leave alive.

At this moment, he laughed loudly: "Come out!"

"Where are you pretending to be a ghost?! Hiding here!"

"Hmph, hiding your head and showing your tail, watch me force you out!"

"You must know that even if this humble god only makes a slight indication, he is still in the realm of Dao fruit, and can still rampage through the realms, unparalleled in the Great Thousand!"

"Still invincible in the world!"

Faced with the Turbid World Water God's provocation.

Wei Yuan, however, only felt that the depression in his heart became more and more heavy, blocking his heart and making him uncomfortable.

Even though he was in the distant Heavenly Emperor Mountain, he narrowed his eyes and slashed horizontally with his fingers.

In that small world, an unknown distance away from the Great Wilderness.

Countless silver light ripples crisscrossed and collided with each other, unexpectedly deducing the final level of the current Zhuxian Sword Formation, which was the state of [Chaos, before Yin and Yang were separated]. Thus, the Turbid World Water God had just breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that his supreme divine power, which could directly flood an entire world, had disappeared like a clay ox entering the sea in an instant. His expression changed drastically.

"This is...!"

The final state of the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Enough to evolve the authority of Hun Tian.

Seeing that the Turbid World Water God was trapped in the void, being able to cross an unknown distance, acting only near the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, manipulating cause and effect, and then reconstructing the Zhuxian Sword Formation to trap and kill a top ten pinnacle giant in the Dao Fruit realm, even if this top ten pinnacle had fought with Wu Zhiqi for ten days and nights, and his foundation had been greatly damaged, was still an extremely remarkable thing.

However, Wei Yuan did not feel any pleasure in his heart.

The words Hun Tian said seemed to flash before his eyes.

'If you have free time, you can come here to fish...'

And the scene where the Heavenly Emperor crushed the Great Dao comprehension given by Hun Tian and left calmly.

Wei Yuan muttered to himself: "...My own path."

Using swordsmanship to evolve many possibilities, and then reproduce the realm of emptiness and chaos, was almost equivalent to Hun Tian's action.

Is this my own Dao?

Is it my path, or is it just that I am using my own sword Dao to explain the Great Dao of others?

The voice of Dijun before still echoed in his ears: 'Perhaps the so-called enlightenment and opportunity can indeed allow me to go further, but so what? This is from Hun Tian's understanding, it is Hun Tian's path. If I go to comprehend this so-called opportunity, then his limit will be my limit.'

The limit is only Hun Tian's limit...

Heh, Hun Tian's realm is already enough to be unparalleled in the Great Thousand.

His realm cannot be described with the word "only."

That would be somewhat ungrateful.

Wei Yuan muttered to himself, but he didn't know why, as if a kind of unwillingness was stirred up in his heart, like the Heavenly Emperor ignited a hidden flame, and once such a flame was lit, it could never be extinguished again. Controlling swordsmanship to explain cause and effect, to explain Hun Tian's Dao, these were all behind Hun Tian.

It was like chasing after this figure and moving forward.

Wei Yuan's sword formation became more and more calm and more and more skillful.

Explaining the realm of [Chaos, before Yin and Yang were separated] also became more and more handy.

Making the Turbid World Water God embarrassed and unable to escape. This was even just the result of acting across the myriad worlds, and it was the result of using sword Qi to evolve the Zhuxian Sword Formation. If Wei Yuan was here at this moment, if Wei Yuan was using a divine sword in his hand, he would have probably already beheaded the Turbid World Water God and taken out the Dao fruit.

Although, if one's understanding of the Great Dao was not enough, one could not use the Dao fruit.

However, Wu Zhiqi seemed to be almost there.

And the attributes could just correspond.

Ten Great Dao Fruits, killed on the spot.

Apart from Fuxi, honest and trustworthy.

But—

Even though he was already able to lift heavy weights as if they were light, with great supernatural powers, the unwillingness in Wei Yuan's heart became more and more intense, as if an unspeakable depression was rising in his heart. Especially when Wei Yuan suddenly thought that even the Path of Cause and Effect, he was able to take that step with only a few thousand years of Dao practice, wasn't it also because of Hun Tian's gift?

In that case, is this realm of Dao Fruit something I achieved myself?

Or is it just Hun Tian's kindness and gift?

It was not that 'Wei Yuan' could achieve such a Dao fruit.

But as long as one received Hun Tian's kindness, anyone had the chance to surpass.

He thought again that Hun Tian had said before that his last plan was to use his last bit of foundation to help the Overlord of the Ruins to take the last step and reach the realm of Dao Fruit when the Turbid World returned to the Ruins. From this, one could naturally know that Hun Tian's strength and power had already exceeded the scope of the ordinary Dao Fruit realm.

But it also proved that this was not my Dao.

If it was not [indispensable to me], how could it be called one of the Ten Pinnacle? The strongest of the pinnacle?

Wei Yuan lowered his eyes, the irritability in his heart was strong, his white hair moved without wind, and the golden sword mark on his forehead flowed.

And the sword moved with his heart.

Because the master's mood was bad, the Zhuxian Sword Formation in the distance, the sword Qi was more and more cold and terrifying. The Turbid World Water God could not hold on even if he stimulated the power of the Dao fruit. Finally, he endured a sword and screamed, "Great Lord, save me!!!"

"Save me!"

The silver threads in the void had gathered into a sword, and fell directly towards his brow.

At the critical moment, suddenly a punch came horizontally, calm and simple, but powerful and unparalleled, causing the layers of the void built by the gathering of countless sword Qi and laws to collapse, causing an imperfect loophole in the original [Chaotic Realm]. Then, he grabbed the Turbid World Water God, took the sword Qi injury for him, and then quickly escaped.

It was precisely the silent, loyal Turbid World Foundation next to the Turbid World Great Lord.

Similar to the Clear World Buzhou Mountain.

Previously, he had always been responsible for protecting the Turbid World Great Lord.

But now, there was Hun Tian's body corresponding to the enemies outside.

And beside the Great Lord, there was Lu Bu Fengxian, who killed Da Yi, loyal and brave, and could be admired by the world, guarding him.

He was able to escape. At this moment, he grabbed the Turbid World Water God and said in a calm voice: "The Great Lord saw that you had not returned for a long time, and sent me to find you. It seems that the time is just right, and I just caught up."

The Turbid World Water God's palpitations slightly loosened, and then said: "But, you have left the Turbid World."

"What about the Great Lord's side?"

The silent Turbid World Foundation said in a deep voice: "There are other guards, no need to worry."

"That should also be a person who is loyal and brave enough."

"I will take you out!"

His strength was strong enough and terrifying enough. He was directly at the first level of the Dao Fruit realm. Even if there was some suppression from the world in the Clear Qi world, he could not completely explode the foundation as the [Turbid World Foundation], but it could not be underestimated. Wei Yuan's sword formation was smashed open by a punch, and he walked out step by step, slowly but firmly.

Countless laws turned into sword Qi, dancing and changing, unpredictable and mysterious.

The changes of the sword formation had been brought to the limit, but it was still useless.

It was already difficult to release a sword from afar, let alone when facing an absolute powerhouse. The depression in Wei Yuan's heart sank, and he subconsciously grasped his right hand. The hilt of the sword was in his hand, and the distracting thoughts in his heart suddenly dissipated. Looking at the two Turbid World Dao Fruit powerhouses who were escaping from the predicament, countless distracting thoughts churned in his chest.

Am I just following someone else's path?

The Path of Cause and Effect was also Hun Tian's help.

What is my real path?

Or is it just like this, it is good to maintain the status quo...

Wei Yuan closed his eyes, the words of Hun Tian and Dijun constantly echoed in his ears, cause and effect, stars, and the myriad phenomena of the universe all emerged in his heart, causing ripples on his heart lake. In the end, Wei Yuan suddenly thought of when he was reincarnated in the Tang Dynasty, when he was young and drew lots, he grabbed a villager's bamboo sword, and then laughed loudly.

As if there was nothing else besides that.

Wei Yuan was stunned, and suddenly laughed, getting up from the void.

Looking at the silver ripples around him, he suddenly felt a sense of letting go. Perhaps he knew it from the beginning.

Hun Tian was like the elder brother walking in the front, giving him, Houtu, and Dijun the path with absolute kindness, hoping that they could walk on such a beautiful path. But, but ah...

It was like you said the Heavenly Emperor was also a child.

But children will grow up.

Cause and effect are not my path.

Neither is emptiness.

What [Confine], [Suppress], [Kill] are not!

The depression in Wei Yuan's chest exploded, causing the long sword in his hand to cry out. He laughed at himself and took a half step forward.

And the Turbid World Foundation was almost taking the Turbid World Water God out. The surrounding Zhuxian Sword Formation suddenly brightened, and then re-evolved into [Emptiness]. The tall man's expression did not change, he still just made a move. At this time, suddenly a figure 'walked out' in front. The Turbid World Foundation's expression did not change: "Clone? You are not my opponent."

Wei Yuan lowered his eyes, and the sword formation around him evolved Hun Tian's path.

He muttered to himself: "[Chaos, before Yin and Yang were separated]..."

The Turbid World Foundation's pupils suddenly contracted, feeling a kind of sharpness that could not be described, piercing his brow.

The Daoist stretched out his hand, and his right hand rested on the hilt of the sword.

This sword was created by the Dao of the Heavenly Emperor and Hun Tian's talent.

The two auras intertwined in it suddenly escaped, and in the eyes of the two Dao Fruit realms, it seemed that two figures had transformed on the left and right sides of the Daoist. One was a gray-robed, gentle middle-aged man, and the other was a cold and indifferent Clear World Heavenly Emperor. Standing in the position of the Three Talents, they made the concept of heaven explode to the highest level.

And the Daoist held the sword in his right hand and slowly drew it out, the long sword slashing horizontally.

Thus [Earth, Water, Wind, Fire]!

[The Four Great Elements within the domain]!

[Severing Heaven and Earth]!

[Reversing Back to the Innate]! All erupted.

Earth, water, wind, and fire were the foundation for reconstructing the world. The Four Great Elements within the domain were like Buzhou Mountain, traveling through the six directions, supporting the sky and propping up the earth.

Then, severing Heaven and Earth and reversing back to the Innate, was to make the world collapse.

Transforming into the realm of Chaotic Emptiness.

This was originally Wei Yuan's path, walking in the same position as Hun Tian. Finally, he closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he drew his sword.

It was as if he had suddenly taken a step forward, his vision rising from Hun Tian's back, looking at a farther place!

Hun Tian, I must—

Surpass you!

Otherwise, what loneliness would there be between you and me!

In the end, it transformed into a sword!

The Zhuxian Sword Formation collapsed and compressed, using the sword formation as a sword, and finally completely erupted.

The Qingping Sword was unsheathed, terrifying and magnificent, and conceptually opened up the firmament of heaven. Thus, the vast earth of the Turbid World was pressed down, magnificent and vast. Using the sword to open the sky was a magnificent scene that made people lose their minds. The Turbid World Foundation, standing on the first level of the Ten Pinnacle, retreated step by step, his face horrified. The blue-shirted Daoist stood between the rolling heaven and the pressing earth, unparalleled in the Jade Void.

Chaos, stars, and the Origin, the three of them standing as the Three Talents of heaven, earth, and man.

Hun Tian's illusory figure smiled, and suddenly said gently: "[Chaos, before Yin and Yang were separated]."

The Heavenly Emperor's illusory figure lowered his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "[The universe in chaos, prior to heaven and earth]."

Wei Yuan lowered his eyes, as if answering Hun Tian's question, who would determine Yin and Yang in the chaotic time? It was also as if he was responding to the two Heavenly Emperors.

In a blue shirt and white hair, his voice was quiet and peaceful: "[The Primal Origin opens the heavens, I judge Yin and Yang]."

His cultivation, completed!
