255: Dao Jie, Origin Realm

“He finally took that step!”

Xu Qing smiled when he saw this scene!

“Thank you, Master!”

At this moment, Yun Qian was surrounded by Taiyin divine light, and a powerful, invincible aura permeated his body.

“Go to the starry sky! Don’t ruin my flowers and plants here!”

Xu Qing said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, a spatial gate appeared.

“Yes!”

Yun Qian reverted to his original form and rushed into the spatial gate, while the sky-filling auspicious glow seemed to sense something and fled into the distance.

Yun Qian and Dark Moon were different; he relied purely on his own strength to break through the Emperor Realm's shackles. This belonged to the third type of Emperor Realm Breakthrough, where he didn't bear the Mandate of Heaven but broke through the Emperor Realm with his own power.

Therefore, he needed to Undergo Tribulation to become an Emperor!

The Emperor Realm Tribulation, also known as the Dao Tribulation, is a test from heaven and earth for beings becoming Emperors. It is divided into three stages. The first stage is the Nine Heavens Dao Tribulation, which involves various wind disasters and Lightning Tribulations from the Nine Heavens.

The second stage of the Dao Tribulation is the Heart Demon Tribulation, which seems simple but is extremely dangerous. Even those with firm Dao Hearts might fail.

The third stage of the Dao Tribulation is the Dao Test. At that time, the Great Dao will descend, bringing an upgraded version of the Five Heavenly Declines. These tests vary; some are Life Declines, some are Dao Declines, and more powerful individuals may experience two or even five declines.

However, with Yun Qian’s foundation, Xu Qing believed he could pass safely.

“Dark Moon, Jade Emperor!”

“Master!”

A child and a tiger came to Xu Qing’s side!

“Go and protect Yun Qian!”

Xu Qing said.

Although he had already teleported Yun Qian beyond the third star ring, where there were no living planets, it was inevitable that some beings might appear nearby.

“Yes!”

The child and the tiger surged into the spatial gate, appearing in a starless sky devoid of any signs of Life in the next instant.

“Roar!!!”

The Undergoing Tribulation had already begun. Yun Qian was Undergoing Tribulation within the tribulation clouds. With his roar, imperial might surged, and heaven and earth instantly changed color.

In the Chaos Dao Realm, Xu Qing didn’t go to watch Yun Qian Undergoing Tribulation. With Jade Emperor there, almost no one in the mortal world was his opponent.

The Dao Tribulation is not something that can be overcome in a day or two. The fastest known record for Undergoing Tribulation also took about three months.

Xu Qing dispersed the Chaos Dao Realm, and he appeared inside the nine-dragon carriage.

He was able to spend ninety years condensing the Origin Realm by utilizing the power of time and space within the nine-dragon carriage. The time flow here could be adjusted up to 1:1 year. Three months in the outside world meant he had spent ninety years inside the nine-dragon carriage.

The Chaos Dao Realm was the first Dao Realm condensed after his Origin Heaven and Earth evolved into the Origin Realm.

Of course, this Dao Realm is not the same concept as the Eternal Dao Realm. The Chaos Dao Realm is a Small World condensed from Chaos Origin.

Originally, only Emperors could condense a Small World, but with the support of various resources, Xu Qing managed to do so at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

And in this step, Xu Qing even experienced several Life-and-death crises.

Before condensing the Chaos Dao Realm, he transformed his Origin Heaven and Earth into the Origin Realm, thus taking this step.

And the Origin Realm was also his first step in refining other Great Dao Worlds.

In the first sixty years, Xu Qing tried various methods to refine a Small World, but he ultimately failed to find the right way.

Either he couldn't refine it successfully, or the Small World he refined couldn't last long. For this, Xu Qing had fallen into danger several times.

If not for the System intervening several times, Xu Qing would have been gone!

Of course, family points were also spent like flowing water.

Later, while meditating, he saw the stars of the heavens and the vast starry sky, and Xu Qing suddenly realized.

To take his body as Chaos, and the Great Dao as the world.

To put it in terms of things from his previous Life, the Heaven-Defying act Xu Qing was about to perform could be compared to creating a Universe. The world would be the planets, and Xu Qing's body would be the starry sky that carried these planets, which is Chaos.

In the vast Universe, whether it is a star, a planet, or tiny dust, there is a mysterious force between them: gravity.

It is the connector of all things in the Universe, and the key to maintaining the order of the Universe.

If Earth had no gravity, on a microscopic level, you would jump and hit the ceiling just as you thought of getting up to get food. You might even see a group of people outside the window shouting and flying.

On a macroscopic level, without gravity, Earth's atmosphere would begin to escape, and the air on Earth would disappear. Without oxygen, people would suffocate and die. If Earth continued to rotate at an extremely fast speed, everything on Earth would be flung off.

This was why the Small World he refined was destroyed: because the Chaos that carried it did not have enough power to maintain the Small World's permanence.

And the Origin Realm is the existence that releases gravity. With the Origin Realm as the hub, it pulls countless Dao Realms, gathering the power of countless Dao Realms into the Origin Realm, only then can it unleash astonishing power.

Thus, in the next thirty years, he refined the Origin Realm. The process was very difficult, but he succeeded.

And in the last nine years, he successfully used Chaos Origin to condense the Chaos Dao Realm. Of course, Xu Qing called this Dao Realm an Origin-level Dao Realm, because Xu Qing had not yet comprehended the Chaos Great Dao.

During the ten years Yun Qian was in seclusion, he successively condensed nine more Creation Origin-level Dao Realms.

Xu Qing checked on the Tianyang Divine Court, and everything was going well there. The Stone-human Race had been conquered. Facing the powerful Divine Court, the Stone-human Race ultimately chose to surrender.

On the Tianwu Imperial Domain side, due to the Blood Sabre Old Ancestor, wherever the Wuqian Empire army passed, major forces either surrendered or went into seclusion.

In just three months, nine of the Eastern Thirteen Territories had surrendered, leaving only Wuyi, Wuxian, Wuxuan, and Wuxiao Territories un-surrendered.

The controllers of these four territories are all super forces!

Currently, Wu Xingqiong is using gentle methods to try and get the four territories to surrender, but there is no result yet!

The progress on the Netherworld side was also very fast. In just over three months, ninety-six cities of the Blood Fiend Ghost Prefecture had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Army. The remaining four cities encountered resistance from forces outside the Blood Fiend Ghost Continent.

Although both sides were in a stalemate, the overall advantage was with the Heavenly Army.

And although the Heavenly Army suffered losses, it could continuously create more Heavenly Army soldiers at every moment. Furthermore, as more Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly General level emerged, they could absorb Ghost Race members to strengthen their foundation, withstand the Heavenly King's baptism, and thus advance to Heavenly King.

With this ebb and flow, the advantage was with the Heavenly Army.

Of course, if the Eastern Ghost Continent sent out powerful individuals, that would be another matter!

With a thought, outside the nine-dragon carriage, a sound of breaking through the air rang out!

“Qi Wude greets the Clan Chief!”

A short, thin old man appeared outside the nine-dragon carriage.

“I’m giving you a mission. Use your best skills to stir up some trouble in the Eastern Ghost Continent. The rest is up to you!”

A starlight shot out from inside the carriage and entered Qi Wude’s glabella. A star map concerning the Five Turbid Ghost Realm was now under his control.

Upon hearing this, Qi Wude's eyes gleamed, and he seemed to be full of vigor!

“Clan Chief, rest assured, this old man guarantees to handle it perfectly for you!”

Then he transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from the mountaintop.

Xu Qing shook his head and smiled. It seemed he had been restricting this person.

However, with his cultivation at Quasi-Emperor Perfection and various secret techniques, even Eternal Giants would not be able to keep him, and that was enough.

After all, the strongest in the Eastern Ghost Continent were only at Quasi-Emperor Perfection.

Not long after Qi Wude left, two more people appeared, precisely Lan Ningbo and his grandson, Lan Yuangang, from the ten-member group!

“Lan Ningbo (Lan Yuangang) greets the Clan Chief!”

“No need for formalities!” Xu Qing helped them up. “You two go to the front line to take charge. If an unbeatable enemy appears, then you two may act!”

Xu Qing imprinted the details of the battle at the Blood Fiend Ghost Prefecture into their minds, and the two immediately understood the full story.

“We obey the Clan Chief’s command!”

The two quickly departed.

Xu Qing no longer paid attention to external affairs and entered seclusion, while the nine-dragon carriage also disappeared into the Void Realm...
