824: The Strangeness of Chaos City

“...”

In the Boundless Space, after the winds and waves subsided, Gu Qing used his Dao Pupil to quickly refine the black dazzling golden Dao Robe Battle Armor.

After gaining complete control of the Dao Robe Battle Armor, Gu Qing was even more pleasantly surprised.

The black dazzling golden Dao Robe Battle Armor was far more powerful than he had imagined.

The Starry Sacred Mother had engraved tens of thousands of Great Dao array patterns, categorized into several main types: defense, displacement, devouring, restoration, concealment, spirit gathering, and assisting in refining Chaos Qi, among others.

It could be said without exaggeration that as long as one had enough magical power, an ordinary Chaos Dao Lord would find it very difficult to break through its defenses.

If mid-tier Chaotic Spiritual Treasures ranged from level one to one hundred million, then the black dazzling golden Dao Robe Battle Armor was a max-level existence.

After all, the Primal Chaos Devouring Beast's massive body contained countless scales, all of which were melted into the armor. Coupled with the Great Dao array patterns engraved by the Starry Sacred Mother, its defensive power was unimaginable.

Henceforth, when he manifested his Chaos True Body, he wouldn't have to worry about weakening the black dazzling golden Dao Robe Battle Armor.

“Master, you’ve worked hard.”

After his initial joy, Gu Qing felt a pang of heartache.

He didn't need to ask to guess that the Starry Sacred Mother must have expended immense effort and time to forge this set of black dazzling golden Dao Robe Battle Armor.

The Starry Sacred Mother smiled faintly.

Seeing Gu Qing wear the Dao Robe Battle Armor she had personally forged, she couldn't be happier.

A little hard work was nothing.

“Let’s go, Xuan Mei has emerged from seclusion.”

As the two appeared, they saw the excited face of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.

“Yu Xi, I have transformed into a Chaos Dao Lord, not a Dao Lord of the Origin Continent!”

After ten million years, with the aid of the Primal Chaos Devouring Beast's Natal Treasure Bone, she comprehended the profound mysteries of the Chaotic Laws, and her Dao Fruit evolved into the Chaotic Profound Heaven Dao Fruit.

Although she was still at the mid-stage of Dao Lord, her strength was more than a hundred times greater than before.

If she were to encounter the Primal Chaos Devouring Beast again… perhaps she still wouldn't be able to kill it, as her foundation was too shallow, and she lacked powerful killing treasures, making it difficult to break through its scales.

But she would definitely be able to firmly suppress the Primal Chaos Devouring Beast.

“Xuan Mei’s comprehension is unparalleled; her inability to comprehend the Chaotic Laws before was merely due to a lack of opportunity,” the Starry Sacred Mother was also happy for her.

“But it was precisely this opportunity that troubled me for countless years…”

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman returned the Primal Chaos Devouring Beast’s Natal Treasure Bone to her, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, full of gratitude.

She had previously toiled diligently, meditating on the Chaotic Laws in the Boundless Chaos, hoping to evolve her Dao Fruit into a Chaos Dao Fruit, but she had never been able to grasp the entrance.

If not for the aid of the Primal Chaos Devouring Beast’s Natal Treasure Bone, coupled with her previous comprehension of Gu Qing's Dao Fruit and the Starry Sacred Mother's Dao Fruit, she wouldn't know when she would have been able to transform… A streak of light traversed through the Boundless Chaos.

The three sat on a flying sword, recounting interesting stories, occasionally letting out laughter like orioles.

Gu Qing steered the flying sword, holding a positioning light sphere to check their location.

“We’ve arrived!”

As soon as his words fell, a vast and boundless city appeared before the three of them.

Gu Qing looked at Chaos City, his eyes filled with shock, racking his brain but unable to find words to describe it.

Alas, being uncultured, he could only think of one phrase: “Holy crap!”

It was too astonishing.

Chaos City simply could not be described as merely majestic and vast.

The entire Chaos City was constructed from bronze bricks, but the more Gu Qing looked, the more it seemed to be integrated with the Chaos itself, with ancient time flowing long.

Standing beneath the city walls, a grand and magnificent aura washed over Gu Qing, giving him a sense of insignificance, as if no matter how he climbed, he could never surmount the city.

Moreover, Chaos City exuded Chaotic Laws; comprehending the Chaotic Laws here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.

“Let’s go, there are great opportunities left by predecessors within Chaos City; they will certainly not disappoint you,” the Starry Saintess said, interrupting Gu Qing’s thought of comprehending Chaos City here.

Outside the city, one could only glimpse its superficial aspects, but inside, Chaotic Dao rhyme permeated, and there was a Dao Comprehension Platform, from which one could survey the entire city and fully grasp the profound mysteries of Chaos.

“Alright!”

Gu Qing stood between the two, walking side by side; their peerless beauty and noble, ethereal temperaments, like the sole color in the world, immediately drew the attention of many passersby.

However, they merely took a glance and then no longer paid attention.

Those who could come here were all powerful individuals with great luck and firm resolve, and naturally, they would not be swayed by beauty.

“This…”

Upon entering the city, Gu Qing was even more astonished.

Chaos City was unlike any city he had ever seen; there were no commercial buildings inside. What met his eyes was a vast, open expanse, permeated with profound Chaotic Dao rhyme within space and time.

In the center of the city, there was a bluestone Dao Platform, seemingly suspended in the Nine Heavens, with 129,600 steps.

However, the steps gave Gu Qing a sense of a mirage, an unreal illusion.

In addition, Gu Qing frowned slightly, always feeling that something was not quite right.

Gu Qing immediately closed his eyes, wholeheartedly comprehending the Chaotic Dao rhyme within Chaos City. A vast, empty, lonely, and desolate feeling surged into his heart.

After a while, Gu Qing opened his eyes, his expression solemn.

The Dao rhyme of Chaos City was fine; it could help people quickly comprehend the Dao and the Chaotic Great Dao.

However, there was a Dao intent of “all ages of desolation leading to emptiness in the Dao” lingering.

Practicing here for a long time would definitely cause problems with one’s state of mind; one might even develop a desire to give up, and in severe cases, self-Dao transformation was possible.

Gu Qing glanced around; as far as his eyes could see, there were hundreds of formations, with the power of Chaotic Laws surging within them, and Dao methods emanating Dao Lord aura through the formations.

This was only what he saw; Chaos City was vast and boundless, and there must be many more powerful individuals comprehending the Dao here.

“Even knowing it’s poison, one still can’t resist the fatal temptation.” Gu Qing’s expression changed repeatedly, though he didn’t know what he was thinking.

“Indeed, such is life; knowing it’s impossible, yet still doing it.”

The Starry Sacred Mother hummed, then explained, “Actually, they don’t always cultivate here; after cultivating for a period, they leave, adjust their mindset, and then return to comprehend the Dao.”

“Oh!”

Gu Qing looked at the Dao Comprehension Platform: “Then why don’t they comprehend the Dao on that bluestone Dao Platform?”

“Naturally, because they can’t go up.”

“These steps are both real and illusory; only those with destiny can step onto them.”

“As for the Dao Comprehension Platform…”

She paused, sighing, “As far as I know, no one has ever reached the summit. According to records, one predecessor ascended three thousand steps and immediately attained the Dao Lord realm.”

“That powerful?”

Gu Qing and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman were both astonished.

Just the steps alone could allow someone to break through to Dao Lord; what about after reaching the summit… “Indeed!”

“Then… is this really a city forged by a Dao Lord? Are you sure it’s not a Dao Ancestor?”

“Unclear, but everyone says it was left by a Dao Lord.”

“Did that predecessor who broke through to Dao Lord continue to climb after his breakthrough?” Gu Qing pressed.

“No, after his breakthrough, he left in a daze.”

These were all pieces of information they had gathered; whether true or false, she couldn't be certain.

Gu Qing frowned in thought.

This Dao Comprehension Platform and this Dao Lord were both full of strangeness.

It felt as if he had lost his ambition immediately after breaking through to Dao Lord.

And this Chaos City, logically speaking, shouldn’t have the desolation of “cultivating the Dao for all ages to become empty.”

“Star Saintess, long time no see. I didn’t expect your demeanor to be even more splendid than before.”

At this moment, a hearty and surprised voice came.
