909: Zhimeng breaks through, Chaos Huatian Avenue

Master has become obsessed with defeating Jiang Yu...

Gu Qing felt incredibly pained, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, his words would be useless in this matter.

How could so many years of resentment and obsession be resolved by a few words from him?

As for telling her the truth, Zhi Meng might completely break down.

But if he didn't, he would watch Zhi Meng slowly descend into madness.

“Disciple, does my Chaotic Heaven Great Dao need to be severed?”

Zhi Meng steadied her mind and asked.

There are many ways to become a Dao Master.

The most common method requires severing one's karma and destiny, severing one's Dao Fruit, and then condensing a new Dao Fruit with oneself as the Dao.

However, according to her deductions, her Chaotic Heaven Great Dao did not require severing the Dao, nor did it require severing the karma and destiny connected to the Chaotic Great Dao.

Because the Chaotic Heaven Great Dao is a conceptual Great Dao that encompasses everything, directly transcending her Dao Monarch Dao Fruit and even the Chaotic Great Dao itself.

Gu Qing didn't answer immediately. Instead, he used Chaotic Immeasurable to deduce it several times, and only after confirming there were no issues did he reply, “No, Master can immediately attain the Dao.”

“Good, good, good, it's just as I deduced.”

Upon hearing this, Zhi Meng was completely relieved. Adjusting her mindset, she released her suppression, and an supreme will emerged from her Dao Fruit.

This was her Heaven Will, transcending and controlling the highest authority.

In an instant, Zhi Meng stepped into the Dao Master realm, becoming the Master of a Dao, her strength and cultivation entering an entirely new domain.

“So this is what it means to be the Master of a Dao…”

Zhi Meng comprehended the profound mysteries of the Dao Master realm, her expression filled with shock; it was terrifying.

Zhi Meng felt like an supreme existence, transcending all constraints. She was the source of all Daos, the origin of all tangible and intangible existences, the source of everything… “Congratulations, Master, on attaining the supreme Dao Fruit. Dao Ancestor is within reach,” Gu Qing exclaimed.

Zhi Meng's Chaotic Heaven Great Dao felt even more heaven-defying than his Boundless Great Dao.

At the very least, her breakthrough speed would definitely be countless times faster than his Boundless Great Dao.

After all, the Chaotic Heaven Great Dao could transform everything, directly steal from the Chaotic Myriad Daos, and autonomously evolve into a supreme Dao Fruit.

This was something his Boundless Dao Fruit could not compare to.

“Disciple!!!”

Zhi Meng summoned his Dao thought, looking at Gu Qing's incomparably handsome face, and gently touched it with her slender, jade-like hand.

She had never dared to dream that she could achieve such accomplishments.

After all, if she hadn't comprehended some of the profound mysteries of the Great Dao Golden Lotus and the Hongmeng Creation Tower, hadn't refined the Hongmeng Creation Tower's artifact spirit origin, and hadn't possessed the Chaotic Devouring Body Origin… even if she knew about the Chaotic Heaven Great Dao, she wouldn't have been able to condense the supreme will of the Chaotic Heaven Great Dao.

“Disciple not only has a prosperous wife's destiny, but also a prosperous master's destiny. Your master… your master…” She gained both.

She didn't speak the last four words, but her gentle eyes conveyed everything.

“You may go. When I find Jiang Yu, I will send her to you.”

Seeing Gu Qing about to speak, a brilliant light appeared on Zhi Meng's palm, moving Gu Qing's Dao thought away.

Zhi Meng put away the Time Array Disk and array artifacts. With a thought, she locked onto the location of Luo Li and the others.

She appeared before Luo Li in one step.

“Greetings, Master!”

Luo Li paused, bowed, and looked nervous.

For some reason, the current Zhi Meng gave her an unparalleled sense of dread, as if her life and death were controlled by Zhi Meng.

This was definitely not an illusion.

Luo Li knew that Zhi Meng had likely already broken through to Dao Master.

And she was an supreme Master of a Dao, which made Luo Li feel a sense of urgency.

Gu Qing, Zhi Meng, and the Starry Sacred Mother had all successively broken through to Dao Master; it was time for her to break through as well.

“Mm!”

Zhi Meng lightly hummed, her eyes sweeping over Luo Li. She couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

With her eyesight, she could naturally tell that Luo Li was infinitely close to Dao Master, only lacking a catalyst to break through.

Moreover, Luo Li's primary cultivation was the Undying Great Dao. Once she severed her Dao to attain it, there would be no risk of failure.

Being surpassed by Gu Qing was one thing, but if even Luo Li could surpass her, she would lose a lot of face.

Among Gu Qing's women, only Luo Li's talent was the most… no, there was also He Ni.

Zhi Meng spoke indifferently, “Where is He Ni?”

Luo Li was startled, not understanding why Zhi Meng was asking about He Ni. They weren't close friends, and there were no conflicts of interest between them, so they had always kept their distance.

Thinking this, Luo Li replied, “Disciple does not know.”

“Has she broken through to Dao Master?”

Zhi Meng's heart sank slightly. She couldn't sense He Ni's presence, and her Dao thought, descending upon Chaos City, also couldn't find He Ni.

Could He Ni have already broken through to Dao Master, and the Great Dao she attained was an supreme Great Dao no weaker than hers?

“?”

Now Luo Li understood. So, Zhi Meng wanted to get ahead of them.

Zhi Meng's sudden visit was probably for the purpose of showing off.

Otherwise, Luo Li wouldn't believe that Zhi Meng, whose eyes were only on Gu Qing and her sister, had come to guide her.

“Heh, childish…” Luo Li thought disdainfully, but a sense of urgency rose in her heart.

Looking at Zhi Meng, who was like a Celestial Venerable, Luo Li's heart stirred, and she replied, “She was taken by Senior Brother to Chaos City to attain the Dao. It's possible she has already returned after attaining the Dao and is stabilizing her realm in Senior Brother's Hongmeng Creation Tower.”

It would be good to cause some trouble for Master.

Why was Zhi Meng so heartless towards her?

Zhi Meng's icy blue eyes deepened, a surge of discomfort in her heart. Her crescent-shaped brows furrowed slightly, but soon relaxed.

He Ni was an Immortal Emperor reincarnated and had been diligently cultivated by Gu Qing. It was not surprising that she broke through to Dao Master before her.

Her talent was definitely no worse than He Ni's.

Moreover, she had attained the Chaotic Heaven Great Dao, so it was only a matter of time before her cultivation surpassed He Ni's.

Thinking this, Zhi Meng felt a little better and took her to find Xian'er.

Xian'er and the Liu Ruyan sisters had encountered a bit of trouble in a super Daoist sect ruin… In the Grand Beginning Grotto-Heaven, the laws and order were spread like a spiderweb, and Chaos Qi permeated the space.

Xian'er sat cross-legged in the void, a large seal suspended above her head, emanating a misty divine light of the Great Dao.

Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruyi, the two sisters, had torn Dao robes, pale faces, and disordered auras.

Clearly, they had just experienced a great battle and had sustained serious injuries.

The two stood in front of Xian'er, looking at Jiang Xuan, and said with grim expressions.

“Jiang Xuan, we discovered the Grand Beginning Seal first, and the Grand Beginning Seal chose Xian'er as its inheritor.”

“So what? In this world, the strong are respected. Moreover, the Grand Beginning Seal is an ownerless treasure; whoever obtains it, it belongs to them.”

Jiang Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile. He looked at the two sisters, his hands clasped behind his back, and spoke with an air of nonchalance.

He clearly didn't take the three of them seriously.

After all, the three of them only had Master God cultivation, while he, though seemingly a Master God, was actually a perfect Dao Monarch. In his eyes, the three were no different from ants.

The Grand Beginning Seal was a mid-grade innate Chaotic Spiritual Treasure and had been refined by the Grand Beginning Dao Master into a high-grade Chaotic Spiritual Treasure.

Jiang Xuan could not possibly give up such a treasure.

The reason he hadn't made a move was because the Liu Ruyan sisters were wearing Star God Sect Dao robes. If he used his Dao Monarch cultivation, it would be bullying the weak.

Of course, Jiang Xuan didn't care about that.

He was afraid that these three were not ordinary Star God Sect disciples, but possibly disciples of the Starry Sacred Mother.

If bullying the weak attracted the Starry Sacred Mother, it would not be worth the gain.

But if he didn't bully the weak, he could defeat the two sisters, but he couldn't crush them with absolute strength.

For a while, he couldn't take down this pair of one-god-one-demon Twins sisters.

Especially Liu Ruyan's spatial-temporal divine ability, which was terrifyingly powerful. If he weren't a Dao Monarch, the outcome would probably be unpredictable.

It would likely take a thousand years of fighting to kill the two sisters.

Yet, the two sisters fought to the death without retreating, which made Jiang Xuan very troubled.

“You've hidden your cultivation, haven't you?”

Liu Ruyi no longer possessed her usual holy beauty. Demonic energy permeated her body, her eyes were like devouring black pupils, and she spoke expressionlessly.

Although her tone was a question, it carried a hint of certainty.

She didn't believe that anyone at the same level could easily suppress their sisters, unless that person was Gu Qing, or had hidden their true realm.

“Your talents are good. Are you interested in becoming my followers?”

Jiang Xuan was silent for a moment, neither answering nor denying.

He hadn't expected to be guessed, but this was also good. Letting the sisters know his talent would make the three of them wary and thus give up the Grand Beginning Seal.

Perhaps he could even take the three as his followers.

With his talent and background, Jiang Xuan didn't believe the three wouldn't be tempted.

In the past, countless proud daughters of heaven from super Daoist sects had begged to become his followers, wanting to follow him, reach the peak of the Great Dao, and witness supreme scenery.

As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. When he reached the peak of the Great Dao, his followers would naturally also obtain supreme good fortune.

If the Jiang Family weren't currently in a precarious situation, he would definitely not take the three as followers.

“Heh heh!” Liu Ruyi immediately sneered upon hearing this, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuan's timid reluctance to use his true realm clearly showed he was afraid of the Starry Sacred Mother.

Wanting to take them as followers was clearly an attempt to use this to ease relations with the Starry Sacred Mother.

Since that was the case, there was nothing to fear.

Liu Ruyan also thought of this. Looking at the calm and otherworldly Jiang Xuan, a hint of disdain appeared in her phoenix eyes.

“You're just relying on your higher cultivation than ours. At the same level, I'd kill you like a chicken.” She mocked disdainfully, which was also what she thought in her heart.

“You're seeking death.”

Jiang Xuan's calm and nonchalant face instantly turned cold, and a chilling killing intent emanated from his eyes.

Being cursed at directly, even with his good temper, he couldn't help but be enraged.

With a bang, Jiang Xuan unleashed his full cultivation, forcefully suppressing the three, and said indifferently, “I'll give you three two choices: hand over the Grand Beginning Seal and submit to me, or die.”

Jiang Xuan couldn't give up the Grand Beginning Seal just because of a guess; he had to try.

What if the three weren't the Starry Sacred Mother, but just core disciples of the Star God Sect?

“The Jiang Family has quite the prestige.”

A cold voice came, instantly dispelling Jiang Xuan's domain.

Two figures of unparalleled grace strolled through the void.

“Martial Aunt!”

Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruyi's beautiful eyes widened instantly. Zhi Meng had actually broken through to Dao Master?!

This was too fast, wasn't it?

“Fellow Daoist, please forgive us. My Jiang Family's Dao Child meant no harm.” Jiang Xingyuan, hidden in the dark, changed his expression, stepped out of the void, and cupped his fists towards Zhi Meng.

Jiang Xuan's heart sank to rock bottom.

Martial Aunt?

A Dao Master was actually the martial aunt of the Liu Ruyan sisters? Didn't that mean the sisters' master was also a Dao Master?

He had messed up big time… Jiang Xuan was frantic inside.

What exactly happened to the Chaos Realm?

Why were unknown Dao Masters appearing one after another?

First, the mysterious Gu Qing, then Youmeng, and the Starry Sacred Mother.

Now two more Dao Masters had appeared, and he had offended them.

“Mommy!”

Xian'er, like a swallow returning to its nest, threw herself into Zhi Meng's broad embrace, completely ignoring Zhi Meng's cold and indifferent expression. She rubbed against her chest, a childlike smile of adoration on her face.

“Quiet down.”

Zhi Meng's tone was helpless, yet also doting. Her daughter was truly too clingy.

“I won't.”

“Mommy, I'm so happy! I got the Grand Beginning Dao Master's inheritance and also refined the first layer of the Grand Beginning Seal's restrictions.” Xian'er acted coquettishly, her small face full of fervent excitement.

After all, this was a high-grade Chaotic Spiritual Treasure, along with the Grand Beginning Dao Master's lifelong inheritance, and all the assets of the Grand Beginning Dao Sect, all of which had fallen into her pocket.

Her wallet was certainly bulging.

Aside from Gu Qing, she should be the wealthiest.

“Let's talk about it when we get back. I'll take care of this ant first.” Zhi Meng stroked her daughter's beautiful hair.

“Just some trash, let Daddy handle it.” Xian'er was still very protective of her mother, knowing that Zhi Meng had just broken through and probably wasn't a match for Jiang Xingyuan.

It wouldn't be good if she got hurt.

Moreover, this kind of tiring work should be left to her father.

“…”

Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xingyuan were completely silent upon hearing this, their hearts filled with panic.

What kind of hornet's nest had he stirred up?

Suppressing three Master Gods actually managed to provoke three known Dao Masters at once.

Was the Jiang Family even going to be allowed to live?

And Luo Li… Good heavens… Jiang Xuan looked closely, his heart greatly alarmed.

Luo Li was one step behind Zhi Meng, clearly her junior. Could they be from the same Daoist sect?

It must be.

Jiang Xuan felt a surge of regret. He should have thought of it earlier.

Liu Ruyan, Liu Ruyi, Xian'er, Luo Li, and Gu Qing, all so powerful, yet unknown in the Chaos Realm. They must all be from outside.

But it was too late to regret now.

Jiang Xuan steadied his mind.

In a conflict between juniors, Zhi Meng shouldn't really take it to such an extreme, calling in parents and sect elders, right?!

Jiang Xuan was uneasy inside, but on the surface, he respectfully performed a junior's bow, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Junior Jiang Xuan greets Senior.”

“Junior was unaware of the identities of the three Junior Sisters earlier and caused offense. I ask Senior for your forgiveness.”

Zhi Meng raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes, once filled with tenderness, gradually growing cold.

A mere Dao Monarch dared to interrupt their mother-daughter moment and tried to show off in front of her.

Looking at the neither humble nor arrogant Jiang Xuan, Zhi Meng made no effort to conceal her killing intent.

She was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and her heart was bloodthirsty. Facing such a foolish and arrogant ant, not killing him would truly be inexcusable.

Not good… Jiang Xingyuan's face changed drastically, his heart filled with hatred. He even had the urge to slap Jiang Xuan to death.

You, a junior, why are you trying to take the lead here?

What qualifications do you have to speak to a Dao Master?

Jiang Xuan wouldn't be so naive as to think that all seniors disdained to act against juniors, would he?

Jiang Xuan indeed thought so.

He believed that as long as he stepped forward and used his eloquent tongue to make Zhi Meng uphold her status and not stoop to arguing with a junior like him.

But he never expected that Zhi Meng was not a righteous powerhouse bound by morality.
