Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1487 - 350: Utilize Thousands of Paths for Oneself_2
Chapter 1487: Chapter 350: Utilize Thousands of Paths for Oneself_2
And as Gu Chen advanced continuously, the fluctuations of the universal laws in heaven and earth grew ever more intense, and the enlightenment within his heart also increased unceasingly.
This further intensified the strong yearning of the group of cultivators in the Ascension Realm for the Myriad Laws Pool on the other side of heaven and earth.
Those half-step supreme beings also felt the same, their gazes unwaveringly firm.
Without any surprises, a bloody battle would soon be staged here.
Walking along the path, Gu Chen traversed a mountain road, constantly moving towards the summit, comprehending laws, comprehending Dao, natural order, comprehending everything.
"Heaven and earth beget myriad creatures to nurture mankind; the operation of the Dao across the myriad heavens and worlds is indeed profoundly mysterious, worth a cultivator’s lifetime to ponder," Gu Chen muttered to himself. In his realization, the Dao seemed like an endless ocean without borders, flowing ceaselessly, and the cultivators were like inconspicuous fish within it, struggling continuously, wishing to cross the Dao-sea and reach the other shore.
However, the difficulty of this cannot be measured in words, not even by Ascending to Heaven; from ancient times to the present, no one has transcended the Dao and reached the other shore, standing upon it.
Yes, throughout the ages, even in the earliest eras of cosmogenesis with various myths and legends passed down, such existences were unseen, or perhaps they have never appeared.
As everyone knows, the highest realm is the pinnacle of cultivation, yet it still cannot transcend above all Daos; it is merely a closer approach to the other shore, or it can be said that there is a certain high degree of enlightenment regarding the Dao.
But in the next moment, a thought suddenly emerged in Gu Chen’s mind.
"The Dao is boundless, nurturing heaven and earth, and living beings are born dependent on heaven and earth; yet there will come a day, if all is erased, heaven and earth are no more, the Dao ceases to exist, what then?" Upon this thought, Gu Chen’s brow suddenly furrowed.
The reason for such a thought was only because the battle within the Infernal Devil Diagram he had experienced earlier made him realize that the rules of the demon world and the myriad heavens and worlds indeed had great differences. freeweɓnøvel.com
When the era of great calamity arrives, if the higher realms collapse and the myriad heavens are destroyed, nothingness ensues, then what?
Or to put it another way, if the laws of the netherworld spread and cover the Dao of the myriad heavens and worlds, where should the cultivators go from there?
The laws he comprehended, the divine abilities, and other techniques he mastered, once they lose what they rely on, would they still be effective?
This question, out of control, emerged in Gu Chen’s heart, causing his expression to become extremely solemn in an instant.
The answer was undoubtedly clear; cultivators sense the heavens and earth, and the reason their divine abilities and law manifestations are so powerful is also because the myriad ways resonate together. Once the laws of the myriad heavens and worlds are suppressed, or even disappear, it’s not to say that the cultivators would be utterly powerless, but they also won’t be significantly strong.
When that time comes, what ultimate beings, what supreme powerhouses, all would be ineffective, and can be killed easily.
Even those at the highest level, when the myriad ways perish, would be incapable of exhibiting their heavenly abilities.
"Perhaps, one should utilize the myriad ways for oneself, carve out one’s own path, before all others!" Suddenly, Gu Chen’s expression became resolute.
Back when he overly relied on his panel, he once had this thought, to be supreme on one’s own; the true essence and core of everything lie within oneself, and not in dependence on external things.
Now, in Gu Chen’s view, in a certain sense, the heaven and earth that he relied upon, and even the myriad laws, could perhaps also be considered externalities.
"Only when one’s own body becomes supremely powerful can one fear nothing and surpass everything!" Gu Chen murmured softly, his expression intensely concentrated.
At this moment, an unusual thought took root and sprouted from his mind.
"To harness the myriad ways for oneself, to understand, and even give birth to a Dao unique to oneself, not simply imitating and copying the ways of these myriad heavens and worlds – that does not belong to me!" The deeper Gu Chen delved into this idea, the brighter his eyes shone; eventually, he felt as if his spirit, heart, and even his body were being enlightened, or rather, were ready to ascend to a higher plane.
"Perhaps, this is the most correct path!" Gu Chen’s expression became more and more exhilarated.
However, his current realm is still insufficient to completely carve out his own path and to "create his own Dao." For now, Gu Chen still needs to refer to the myriarchs of ways of the myriad heavens.
But today’s enlightenment, such thoughts, have already taken root in Gu Chen’s heart. One day, he will turn them into action, seize his own unique path, and stride forth upon his own Tao!
Even if the era’s great catastrophe arrives, the myriad realms crumble, and all the heavenly ways are suppressed, it will have no effect on Gu Chen. Because he has already transcended, no longer reliant on the external heavens and earth.
Boom!
Suddenly, a booming sound erupted above this world, shaking the entire Creation Cave Heaven.
Not only that, the 3600 realms of the Upper World were likewise filled with the terrifying sound of thunder, as an awe-inspiring force spread throughout.
"What’s happening, what’s going on?"
At once, whether in the Creation Cave Heaven or in the outside world, everyone was bewildered, clueless about the origin of such an anomaly.
"The heavens are echoing in unison, the skies are enraged, is heavenly punishment about to descend?" Even those in secluded cultivation at the peak of the Inquiry Realm were startled, all looking up towards the firmament.
They too felt a chill at that aura, unwilling to confront it.
In the Peng Domain, within the ancestral land of the Golden Roc Clan, five supreme figures also showed shocked expressions and looked up.
The lord of the Nine Heavens Hall even said in a grave voice, "What’s going on lately? One major event after another is happening. Could it be that this world is truly heading towards extinction?"
His expression was stern, his face filled with worry. If the myriad worlds perished, even a being like him would have no path of survival.
The ancient ancestors of the Golden Roc Clan and the other four were just as solemn, their expressions extremely grave.
"The heavens’ wrath, the dispensation of heavenly punishment, suggests that something incredible has happened, defying the will of heaven, otherwise, it wouldn’t have come to this." The five supreme figures, as well as the mightiest of the Upper World and the peak beings of the Inquiry Realm, all came to this conclusion.
But this also aroused their curiosity, what on earth could have triggered such a phenomenon?
A catastrophic, world-ending aura spread, everyone was utterly horrified, but fortunately, in the end, the phenomenon disappeared without a trace of lightning descending.
It came without explanation and vanished just as mysteriously, leaving even the peak Inquiry Realm figures baffled.
"Phew..."
Inside the Creation Cave Heaven, Gu Chen’s expression relaxed, and he gently exhaled.
Without a doubt, the phenomenon just now was targeting him, for Gu Chen felt he was being locked onto.
It was an extremely direct feeling; should the heavenly punishment descend, Gu Chen knew he would undoubtedly perish, and he was extremely tense at that moment.
But in the end, for some unknown reason, the cataclysm vanished; the brief moment, however, left him with a feeling of survival after a disaster, with cold sweat seeping out all over his body.
This had not occurred for who knows how many years. Just now, it truly made Gu Chen extremely solemn; it was a deadly catastrophe for him.
Fortunately, in the end, it was resolved.
"Gu Chen, you actually dare to show up?!" At that moment, a cold shout rang out, waking Gu Chen who was still pondering the recent event.
Jin Hong and the other four, stood atop the peak, their gazes icy and indifferent as they looked over at him, with a chilling murderous intent that was almost tangible!
