513: The Infinite Great Way

“It’s Xiao Hongdou.”

Gu Qing’s eyes rolled. He was too weak to even speak, his consciousness hazy and chaotic.

“Senior Brother, don’t give up. You are unparalleled in the world; you will surely attain the Dao in one fell swoop,” Xiao Hongdou said, her voice choked with tears.

“Mm!” Gu Qing hummed, his consciousness becoming even more fragmented.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, hold on…”

“Xiao Hongdou, don’t waste your effort. The backlash from the Boundless Great Dao means his mental state isn’t strong enough, his realm isn’t high enough, and he’s powerless to control the Boundless Great Dao.”

“It’s like when you were a mortal, crushed by a ten-thousand-pound weight, wanting to move it but being powerless.”

Lin Xuan’s current body was conceived by the universe’s origin, so he could instantly discern Gu Qing’s current state.

As he spoke, Lin Xuan’s eyes couldn’t help but show a hint of regret.

Gu Qing was his mortal enemy, having cuckolded him so thoroughly that his ancestral graves were fuming. He constantly thought of retaliating against Gu Qing, burning his soul for billions of years.

Now, seeing Gu Qing about to assimilate into the Dao, he felt both satisfaction and regret—regret that he couldn’t torment Gu Qing.

To let Gu Qing perish like this was simply too easy for him.

“Then, if we just move the heavy object, Senior Brother will be fine?” Xiao Hongdou pressed.

“Exactly!” Lin Xuan nodded without hesitation, looking at her with a playful expression.

“Then…”

“Impossible, Xiao Hongdou, just give up. Even a Saint wouldn’t be able to pull him out of this state of assimilating into the Dao.”

Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongdou felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.

Gu Qing’s eyes dimmed. Indeed, as Lin Xuan said, even a Saint couldn’t save him.

Because he was in a state of “assimilating into the Dao” with the myriad Daos of the universe, to pull him out of this state, one first needed to be proficient in the Boundless Great Dao and find his Dao Fruit.

Then, one would have to retrieve his soul, which had fragmented into billions of pieces, from the vast and boundless universe.

Unless the Heavenly Dao intervened, no one could accomplish this.

“How could this happen…”

Zhi Meng, still in the midst of battle, immediately flashed to Gu Qing’s side upon seeing the situation.

Her mind was a blank, chaotic mess as she stared blankly at Gu Qing.

The five Immortal Emperors were silent, their gazes filled with admiration.

Not everyone could condense a Boundless Dao Fruit. If Gu Qing succeeded, his path to the Dao would truly be boundless.

“The Heaven Transformation Secret Technique has ruined me!!!”

Gu Qing hadn’t expected to lose control like this.

No, he didn't even feel it. After his enlightenment, he had been continuously assimilating into the Dao. If not for the Creation Green Lotus and the Hongmeng Immeasurable Tower suppressing him, he would have truly assimilated into the Dao long ago.

Becoming the Heavenly Dao of the Eternal Universe, existing eternally.

However, he still had a chance.

The Creation Green Lotus beneath him, and the Hongmeng Immeasurable Tower—as long as these two supreme treasures could preserve a trace of his true spirit, unextinguished.

As long as he was alive, he would eventually condense the Boundless Dao Fruit, and even refine the entire Eternal Universe into his own Dao Fruit.

It was worth mentioning that his origin had already evolved to the Divine Emperor realm, which was why it attracted the lightning tribulation.

This also indirectly showed that during the process of assimilating into the Dao, his origin would not stop evolving.

Refining the Eternal Universe was a highly promising endeavor.

The thought had just arisen when Gu Qing decisively gave it up. Refining the Eternal Universe had too many uncertainties, practically a nine-deaths-one-life scenario. Gu Qing had no need to take such a risk.

“Master, rest assured, I will surely attain the Dao and transcend. Lin Xuan waking me up means my fate is not to perish!”

Gu Qing smiled.

Lin Xuan waking him up had already done him a huge favor; it was no exaggeration to say he had saved his life.

Now, two paths lay before him.

One was to stubbornly continue assimilating into the Dao with the Eternal Universe, and the other was to stop assimilating into the Dao and forcefully attain the Dao.

Continuing to assimilate into the Dao was not advisable; if the two great treasures couldn’t protect his true spirit, he would be finished.

As for forcefully attaining the Dao… there was a risk of failure, but it was much safer than assimilating into the Dao.

“Not good, he’s trying to escape.”

Lin Xuan seemed to have thought of something. Although he didn’t think Gu Qing could succeed, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Lin Xuan attacked without hesitation, wanting to destroy Gu Qing’s physical body and seize the Creation Green Lotus.

However, it was too late!

With a thought from Gu Qing, the Creation Green Lotus vanished into time and space, leaving no trace.

“Boom!”

The Grand Profound Sword annihilated the space where Gu Qing had been, and Lin Xuan’s face was extremely grim.

“Emperor Xuan, where did he go?”

The five Immortal Emperors, along with the Immortal Emperors who arrived later, scanned with their divine senses but found no trace of Gu Qing.

Immediately, they all looked at Lin Xuan with cold expressions, surrounding him.

Although Lin Xuan and Gu Qing had a blood feud, that was none of their business. The Creation Green Lotus was still with Gu Qing, and Lin Xuan shouldn’t even think about keeping it all to himself.

“He’s in the origin of the Eternal Universe. We can’t find him. He will either assimilate into the Dao or attain the Dao, and then be expelled by the origin of the Eternal Universe.”

Lin Xuan’s face was incredibly grim as he spoke each word slowly.

He was furious now, wanting to slap himself several times.

Lin Xuan dared not imagine that if Gu Qing succeeded, he would be Gu Qing’s benefactor in achieving the Dao.

But he and Gu Qing were sworn enemies!

Gu Qing had defiled several of his younger sisters; he and Gu Qing were irreconcilable.

“Hiss!”

“He… he…”

Could Gu Qing have been continuously stealing the Dao Fruit of the Eternal Universe?

The Immortal Emperors showed looks of shock, their hearts churning with tumultuous waves.

They had thought Gu Qing’s comprehension of the Boundless Great Dao was already sufficiently heaven-defying. Who would have thought Gu Qing would actually dare to assimilate into Heaven?

If Gu Qing succeeded, wouldn’t the entire Eternal Universe be refined by him?

“Boom!”

A colossal roar resounded throughout the universe.

The cosmic rules trembled, lightning sparked in the void, and an aura of destruction spread, as if the entire Eternal Universe was about to meet its demise.

Zhi Meng’s expression was tense, her face devoid of color, as she looked up at the sky.

“Why???” Lin Xuan’s face was twisted.

He loved Zhi Meng to the bone, yet she wanted to grind him to dust.

What exactly was he lacking compared to Gu Qing?

Although Lin Xuan had already decided to be irreconcilable with Zhi Meng, seeing Zhi Meng’s affection for another man, he couldn’t accept it… Gu Qing sat cross-legged on the Creation Green Lotus, circulating the Chaos Immortal Scripture, reining in his Dao Fruit, and recalling his scattered soul.

As long as he could recall a wisp of his fragmented soul, he would have succeeded for the most part.

However, the fragmented souls had merged with the cosmic rules, becoming cosmic rules themselves. This soul was no longer that soul; it had nothing to do with Gu Qing anymore. Trying to recall it was as futile as an ant trying to shake a tree.

Gu Qing placed all his hope on the Creation Green Lotus. A wisp of his consciousness controlled the Creation Green Lotus.

The Creation Green Lotus did not disappoint, erupting with boundless light, forcing the fragmented souls that were assimilating into the Dao out of their “assimilating into the Dao” state and recalling them.

Gu Qing was overjoyed.

The beginning of all things is difficult. With a good start, the rest would be easier.

Time passed bit by bit.

Gu Qing recalled enough fragmented souls, then controlled the Hongmeng Immeasurable Tower to suppress himself.

He recalled all the remaining fragmented souls, melting them into one body, and boundless insights into the Great Dao surged into his mind.

Although the fragmented souls were recalled, they also stole some of the Eternal Universe’s rules, allowing his Dao cultivation and realm to rapidly increase.

Boom!

Gu Qing was expelled from the origin of the universe, because at this moment, Gu Qing had already exited the Heaven Transformation state.

“He’s out!”

The Immortal Emperors, who had been sensing the heavens and earth, trying to find Gu Qing, immediately rushed towards Gu Qing’s location at the fastest speed.

All of them wanted to snatch the Creation Green Lotus at the first opportunity.

“I, Gu Qing, now feel inspired to attain the Dao Fruit of transcendence. My Dao is the Boundless Dao…”

Gu Qing’s voice spread throughout the All Heavens Myriad Realms, causing all the Immortal Emperors to pause for a moment.

Because they knew that Gu Qing had transcended, condensing the Boundless Dao Fruit.

In the boundless, silent void, the Creation Green Lotus emitted brilliant divine light, containing the power to create all things.

One by one, dead stars, under the illumination of the boundless light, saw plants and trees grow wildly, full of vibrant life.

In the void, innate spiritual energy was born.

Gu Qing’s Dao illuminated the heavens and created all things in the world.

“Is this the Dao Fruit of transcendence?”

The moment Gu Qing’s Dao was complete, boundless power surged into his mind, making him feel like a supreme existence, transcending all Daos.

This was transcendence: once proven, forever proven, forming one’s own Dao.

Gu Qing closed his eyes in contemplation, circulating his cultivation technique. His realm continued to rise rapidly, his physique strengthened, and his soul sublimated.

The Heaven Transformation state, although it had plunged him into a life-or-death crisis, had also granted him a great opportunity, allowing him to steal a portion of the Eternal Universe’s Dao Fruit.

“How is it? Should we act?”

Numerous Immortal Emperors arrived, gazing at the Creation Green Lotus, their eyes burning with intense desire.

Seeing that Gu Qing didn’t even glance at them, the Immortal Emperors felt immense humiliation.

As fellow Immortal Emperors, they were all existences who had once proven their Dao, forever proven, and formed their own Dao.

Even if their own Dao had a gap compared to the Boundless Great Dao, it wouldn’t be too far apart.

Why should Gu Qing ignore them?
