Gou Cultivates Demon Immortals in the Endless Sea

Zhang Liang's speed in this unknown passage was not very fast, but the use of the avenue was not prohibited here, so under the effect of the Avenue of Time, his speed soared ten thousand times. Although it was not as fast as in the fairyland, it was actually very fast.

And such speed is comparable to that of the Immortal King Realm even in the Immortal Sea.

At first, Zhang Liang was quite cautious. After all, the soul beasts that emerged here were mostly aggressive.

But in fact, walking on this road, I didn't feel that way. On the contrary, this road was relatively safe, and its only drawback was that it was too long.

With the blessing of ten thousand times of time, Zhang Liang walked forward for more than a year before he finally walked out of the long and narrow dark river.

But what replaced it was a wider, more turbulent dark river. If the river did not have a specific direction, Zhang Liang would not even know how to trace its source.

"How long will this take?"

After entering this giant river, Zhang Liang's heart suddenly sank. Didn't it mean that he had spent a whole year just to walk through a small tributary?
Moreover, Zhang Liang discovered that this huge river was not as safe as that small stream.

There seem to be living creatures in this dark river.

For example, at this moment, the World God Mirror trembled slightly, and an extremely huge thousand-eyed jellyfish emerged from the river.

"Soul beast?"

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The thousand-eyed jellyfish floated into the air, and countless pairs of eyes were looking at Zhang Liang.

The next moment, Zhang Liang felt the void around him shattered. Except for himself, this part of the void disintegrated and broke into billions of pieces.

"court death."

Zhang Liang was emitting an invincible aura. He swung his sword forward, but saw billions of rays of light coming up to surround him, trying to block Zhang Liang's sword.

Unfortunately, the giant jellyfish still underestimated Zhang Liang's strength, and those rays of light were easily shattered. Finally, the sword light cut through its body, and the latter immediately turned into a pool of black water, foreshadowing the end of this battle.

But this didn't seem to be a fall. After the giant jellyfish dissipated, the soul entered the water and dissolved directly, re-merging into the dark river. Moreover, there was nothing special left, only some remaining Dao rhyme.

"Huh, so weak?"

Zhang Liang originally thought that this kind of exaggerated creature should be very powerful.

In fact, the attack displayed by the opponent was indeed very powerful, comparable to the attack of the Immortal King realm.

However, the feeling Zhang Liang had when killing the Thousand-Eyed Jellyfish was just like killing an ordinary True Immortal.

"It's a true fairyland, but it has the combat power of the fairy king realm. Did this creature use a secret method?"

"No, this soul beast is too primitive, and has not formed a tribe. Even its ideology is incomplete. How could it possibly use secret techniques?"

Zhang Liang felt something was wrong. When he wanted to observe the jellyfish's path, he was suppressed to find that the other party's path seemed slightly different from his own.

Yes, he found that these roads had not been specially carved and were very primitive, just like the jellyfish just now that was fighting only based on instinct.

Zhang Liang also mastered the Great Dao of Gold in various forms. However, despite the many forms, none of them were as pure as the Great Dao of the Thousand-Eyed Jellyfish.

“Hiss! Is this… the origin of the Great Dao?”

Suddenly, Zhang Liang raised his head abruptly.

The origin of the Tao is the root of the Tao. The ultimate achievement of practitioners seems to be to find the origin of the Tao, which is the fundamental power of the Tao.

Often, only the Immortal King realm powerhouses can touch the source of the Tao, and only the Immortal Emperor realm powerhouses can fully grasp the power of the source of the Tao, and most of them can only grasp one or a few.

"Can all the living beings here grasp the origin of Tao?"

Zhang Liang became excited and felt like he had found a treasure trove.

Even the original power of the Great Way of Gold in his hand is enough to further perfect his Great Way of Gold.

Although this doesn't seem to be of much help in improving his strength, but if he can touch the origin of many things, he believes that his path will definitely change.

In fact, there was no need for Zhang Liang to look for it at all.

All around, in the dark river, huge, hideous and strange creatures were emerging one after another.

With the appearance of these soul beasts, Zhang Liang felt that the myriad daos he controlled resonated with them.

Suddenly, Zhang Liang knew that these strange creatures were actually attracted by the many things he mastered, or in other words, it was the Tao he mastered that was reflected in this long river of darkness, thus giving rise to so many strange creatures.

"Bang bang bang~"

A fierce battle quickly broke out.

For some reason, these soul beasts seem to be very hostile towards me.

Zhang Liang originally thought this was a safe road, but who could have expected such a scene to suddenly appear? Before he could trace the road, he was attacked by a group of people.

Fortunately, although these creatures have strong combat power, they themselves are very fragile.

Therefore, under the attack of thousands of powerful avenues of origin, Zhang Liang was still able to kill all around. In just a moment, he had crushed hundreds of soul beasts.

However, the number of people coming to surround and kill seemed to have not decreased at all.

After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, Zhang Liang had killed more than 10,000 soul beasts, but the number of soul beasts that surrounded him did not decrease. The soul beasts that were killed simply melted into the dark river, leaving nothing behind except for a little bit of the origin of the Great Dao.

Moreover, Zhang Liang was almost certain that the soul beast that was killed soaked in the water for a while, and then turned into a new soul beast, running out again to fight him.

It can be said that if this river of darkness does not dry up, I am afraid I will have to fight like this forever, with no end at all.

However, this is impossible. Unless Zhang Liang gives up moving forward, he will be unable to move forward.

Moreover, even if he was at the Immortal Emperor level, he couldn't fight endlessly. Even if he could, he wouldn't be fighting against a group of terrifying soul beasts that could unleash the power of an Immortal King.

"Why do these soul beasts with the origin of the avenue attack me?"

Zhang Liang was puzzled. Clearly, in the tributary of the dark river, no living creature attacked him. The journey was very smooth and he didn't even encounter a soul beast.

However, from the moment we entered this place, these creatures came.

In order to confirm his idea, Zhang Liang quickly retreated back to the tributary.

Sure enough, these soul beasts did not follow in.

"It's the same Dark River, but the main river and the tributaries are obviously different. Is it that the tributaries can't support such a powerful soul beast?"

Zhang Liang guessed, but felt that something was not right.

Do soul beasts have intelligence? It seems not, they just fight according to their instincts. Then theoretically, soul beasts should be born in this tributary to attack me.

“The Avenue.”

Suddenly, Zhang Liang seemed to understand something.

Yes, he has reached the realm of Immortal Emperor and can transform into thousands of paths. No matter what kind of path it is, it is no longer a secret to him. His understanding of the path is no longer something that ordinary creatures can feel.

In other words, the reason why the tributaries are safe is not only because the tributaries cannot accommodate powerful soul beasts, but also because he is too strong and no soul beasts that can touch his avenue can be born in the tributaries.

But the main river channel is different. Soul beasts comparable to the Immortal King realm can be born there. They even master the origin of the great way and can naturally feel their own great way.

“No wonder we were besieged as soon as we entered the main river channel. It’s because of the avenue.”

Zhang Liang frowned. When he reached the Immortal Emperor realm, the power of the Great Dao had already become his instinctive fighting power. But if he abandoned the Great Dao, would his fighting power be reduced? It didn't seem to be much.

A moment later, Zhang Liang rushed in again. This time, he only used the Invincible Road to cover all other avenues and re-entered the main channel of the Dark River.

But in a moment, Zhang Liang was killed back, with a look of shock on his face. Just now, he used this method to kill his way in, and as a result, the number of powerful soul beasts in the Dark River was indeed reduced by 99%, but some more powerful soul beasts kept appearing, and these things could actually fight against the Invincible Road.

How many powerful soul beasts would be needed to be able to challenge the invincible Lu of the Immortal King realm?
"I said."

In an instant, Zhang Liang understood that only by understanding my way can he pass through this river of darkness.

"It's another enlightenment of mine."

Zhang Liang felt as if he had touched upon one of the greatest secrets of the world. Among the three realms of the Immortal Emperor, none of the three realms existed for no reason.

The origin of the immortal way is the basic combat power. The more origin of the immortal way, the stronger the basic combat power.

Asgard, it is not yet completely certain whether it is a key, but at least Wukong did open a path through it.

I said, using the words of other Immortal Emperors, even if you understand my way, you may not necessarily become stronger. There must be a continuity between understanding my way and the existence of the Immortal Palace. He was almost certain that this method was the two major supports for breaking through the Immortal Emperor realm.

In other words, if you understand my way and enter the River of Darkness again, you should be able to find a way to surpass the realm of the Immortal Emperor.

At this moment, Zhang Liang was both excited and helpless.

He was excited because he felt that he had found a way to become stronger. But he was frustrated that he failed to understand my Tao.

"I said?"

Zhang Liang sat cross-legged in a tributary of the Dark River and began to reflect on his life.

He understands the truth. My Tao is the path that I truly follow, and this should be related to my own growth trajectory.

But he has been thinking about this question for many years and has never found the answer.

But now, he had to calm down and think again.

I came to this world because of the World God Mirror, and at first I just wanted to survive in this powerful world of cultivation.

Because the World God Mirror appeared again in the Thousand Mile Coral Reef. Then the Thousand Mile Coral Reef encountered a crisis. For a long time afterwards, he was helping the Black Fish Tribe out of trouble.

Even though he arrived at the Eternal Continent, he was still thinking about how to strengthen and prosper the Black Fish Tribe so that his race could survive safely in the Immortal Sea.

After the reunion, more secrets were revealed, even ominous ones, and the Xianhai crisis, also known as the Tianmen incident, was encountered. Including his own path to the emperor, it was also because of need, because only by taking this path can the Xianhai survive, the Black Fish Tribe survive, and himself survive.

From the beginning to the end, Zhang Liang seemed to have asked himself what he wanted?
But what does he want?

"I became stronger before, more because of responsibility."

"Now I have become stronger, in fact, it is because of responsibility. Because the fairyland has prepared a treasure to protect it. Without this treasure, the fairyland will be destroyed."

“But are these the paths I want to take?”

"What do I want most?"

In Zhang Liang's mind, he began to recall everything that had happened in his life, over and over again.

I don’t know how long it has been, a hundred years, a thousand years?
One day, Zhang Liang suddenly realized: "My path either comes from the Black Ancestor or from the Book of Employment. I live not to shoulder any responsibility, but because I want to live. I become stronger because I want to appreciate the scenery from a high place. My path is mostly learned from various relics and the Star Palace Demon Girl. Who am I?"

Zhang Liang asked the question but did not give an answer. Instead, he continued to think.

Hundreds of years later.

"What is Tao? All the ways in the heavens and any force can be called Tao. But in the beginning, they were just a law, a phenomenon that existed in the world. So, I want to take a path that doesn't actually exist in the world. That is my Tao."

Time flies, and it’s thousands of years later.

"The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is forty-nine. The one that escapes is the secret of heaven. If you don't understand the secret of heaven and the destiny of heaven, you will reach the limit of life. If you understand the secret of heaven and the destiny of heaven and find one of them, you can be equal to heaven and even change heaven."

That day, Zhang Liang suddenly woke up and recalled the words that Hei Zu had seen in the ancient imperial palace.

"This so-called secret of heaven should be my Tao. If you understand my Tao and understand the destiny of heaven, you can become the equal of heaven. Everything will be clear, but what exactly is my Tao?"

Zhang Liang was comprehending and thinking at the same time. He could even guess that many immortal emperors thought they understood my way, but in fact they did not. It was the same as when he asked the nine-page heavenly book.

Every time he said something, the answer from the Heavenly Book was wrong. Obviously, these roads should have existed.

"Since all the ways of the heavens are not my ways, what do I need them for?"

Zhang Liang once cut off the so-called Great Dao, but he knew that as the Immortal Emperor, he would see through the Dao with just one glance, so it didn't matter whether he cut it off or not.

“I said…”

After Zhang Liang had been in seclusion and thinking for three thousand years, he once again opened the nine pages of the heavenly book.

"The Heaven Devouring Method is my way. Heaven's Way belongs to me, and all other methods can be abandoned. If my Way is accomplished, Heaven's Way can be abandoned. So, what is your Way?"

"My way is immortal."

Zhang Liang felt that he had only wanted to survive from the beginning, and pursued strength only to witness the glory of the heights. To live forever might be what he wanted.

"wrong."

Cui Di, Zhang Liang was very calm. Although he thought so in his heart, Changsheng knew that it seemed a bit too common.

Another hundred years passed, and Zhang Liang once again opened the nine pages of the heavenly book.

Mysterious sounds are rolling in from the book.

"The Heaven Devouring Method is my way. Heaven's Way belongs to me, and all other methods can be abandoned. If my Way is accomplished, Heaven's Way can be abandoned. So, what is your Way?"

"My way is free and unfettered."

Zhang Liang thought that after coming here and seeing all this, he would ultimately seek a life of freedom and ease.

"wrong."

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have asked earlier."

But this time, Zhang Liang did not stop, but continued to ask.

"The Heaven Devouring Method is my way. Heaven's Way belongs to me, and all other methods can be abandoned. If my Way is accomplished, Heaven's Way can be abandoned. So, what is your Way?"

"My way is immortal."

The reason why Zhang Liang asked this question was because immortality, that is, being alive, was his initial and most fundamental demand.

"wrong."

"Nima's."

So far, including previous inquiries, the Nine-Page Heavenly Book has been used seven times.

The six questions were about the Path to Emperor, the Ultimate Path, the Invincible Path, the Path of Time, the Path of Immortality, the Free Path, and the Path of Immortality.

Zhang Liang was a little annoyed and turned over nine more pages of the heavenly book.

"The Heaven Devouring Method is my way. Heaven's Way belongs to me, and all other methods can be abandoned. If my Way is accomplished, Heaven's Way can be abandoned. So, what is your Way?"

"Since all the ways are wrong, what's the point of having this way? My way is no way."

However, just as Zhang Liang was waiting for the word "wrong", the voice did not appear for a long time.

"what?"

"Right?" (End of this chapter)
