Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Sir's Remnant Dao Rhyme from Ancient Epoch!
As the system's voice faded, a surge of pure spiritual energy flooded Lu Xuan's body, crashing through his limbs and bones like a mighty river. His true cultivation began to skyrocket.
Boom! He instantly broke through to the late-stage Three-star Myriad Phase Realm!
Next, Lu Xuan examined the fragmented River of Time within his System Space. It looked like an ordinary river, but as Lu Xuan extended his divine sense into it, he saw boundless stretches of time and space. Within, he witnessed the numerous Ancient Ancestors of the Ancient Epoch, the First Star Sea Great War, and the subsequent development of the Fallen Star Sea.
Lu Xuan paused, a flicker of understanding in his eyes. No wonder Ye Chen had once claimed he stepped out of the River of Time. It seemed that statement wasn't entirely wrong after all!
With a thought, Lu Xuan began to refine it. In an instant, he felt an immense mastery over the Power of Time. He could now effortlessly wield it to attack others. This was the very power 'Sir' had commanded in the past! With a mere flick of his hand, he could manipulate the essence of time, directly burning away an enemy's lifespan! And this was just one of the many terrifying abilities 'Sir' possessed. Lu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim internally, Terrifying!
Next, Lu Xuan examined his own body. With a thought, a crystalline green light appeared in his hand, like a spring breeze, like spring rain, instantly transforming into a tiny blade of grass. Ah Li felt her heart melt. “Oh, what a cute little blade of grass!”
Qingqiu smiled faintly. “This is Sir's Medical Dao Attainment! Sir, have you returned to the Ancient Ancestor Realm? This is Ancient Ancestor-level Medical Dao Attainment!”
Lu Xuan said calmly, “Realms have lost all meaning to me.” After all, he hadn't even synchronized with Ah Li's cultivation yet. Once his true cultivation reached the Eight-star Myriad Phase Realm, he would be invincible in this star sea. Because the limit of this star sea was the Ancient Ancestor Realm! No matter how powerful the experts from the Eerie Plateau were, they were still only at the Ancient Ancestor Realm!
A moment later, Lu Xuan checked his Spatial Dao Attainment. With a thought, countless obscure and intricate array patterns appeared in Lu Xuan's hand. Threads of light, fine as silk, seemed capable of constructing an entirely new star. Ancient Ancestor-level Spatial Dao Attainment!
Beside him, both Ah Li and Qingqiu grew incredibly excited. “Now, Sir has two Grand Daos that have reached the Ancient Ancestor level!”
“Is Sir truly returning?”
One must understand, others could only master a single Grand Dao! Indeed, cultivation realms had truly lost all meaning to Sir now. Two Grand Daos meant two Dao Ancient Ancestors!
Next, Lu Xuan looked at a speck of light within his System Space. It appeared tiny, yet it contained the essence of a hundred rivers, even an entire universe. Within it lay Sir's Remnant Dao Rhyme. The 'Sir' of old, born from heaven and earth, commanded countless Grand Daos, his power reaching the heavens. His Remnant Dao Rhyme contained fragments of other Daos: for example, the Sword Dao, Blade Dao, Path of Body Cultivation, Fallen Dao, and Alchemy Dao...
Lu Xuan immediately sat cross-legged and began to refine it. This time, Sir's Dao Rhyme wasn't absorbed instantly. It required time!
Boom! Endless brilliant divine light erupted around Lu Xuan, like a star sea continuously converging. His aura grew increasingly profound and ancient. The innate aura within him intensified! Qingqiu and Ah Li were both utterly astonished. “Sir's aura!”
“Is Lu Xuan truly awakening?”
One must understand, innate auras were fundamentally different from acquired ones! And among the many Innate Ancient Ancestors, Sir's aura was even more terrifying!
As Lu Xuan refined Sir's Remnant Dao Rhyme, he also glanced at the River of Time, catching a fleeting glimpse of a memory. The scene slowly unfolded...
A white-robed man sat cross-legged, his back to the azure sky, beneath a colossal ancient tree. His appearance was identical to Lu Xuan's. Not far away, Ji Fuyao, in a fiery red dress, was cultivating the Spirit Fire Dao. Beside Ji Fuyao was Ye Chen, also in white robes, sitting cross-legged and doing his best to imitate the white-robed man. His Martial Dao will roared, and a massive Martial Dao Furnace manifested behind him!
A short distance from the two was a Daoist-robed man! Dao Yi! The aura of the Origin of Dao emanated from him. This was his Dao! Ji Fuyao cultivated the Spirit Fire Dao, Ye Chen cultivated the Martial Dao, and Dao Yi directly comprehended the Origin of Dao. But where in this world was there an 'Origin'? 'Sir' was the living Origin!
Dao Yi muttered to himself, “Since I have two other sub-souls, I shall cultivate the Buddhist Dao and Longevity Dao simultaneously.” Boom! Three distinct auras erupted from him.
Wuwu said, “Dao Yi, as long as you sever ties with Ancient Ancestor Mei, make a clean break, I will disappear.”
Chen Changsheng said, “Separate me from you. I've developed my own consciousness, and I don't like Ancient Ancestor Mei. I have no interest in women.”
Dao Yi shook his head. “First, I will not give up Ancient Ancestor Mei.”
Wuwu frowned. “Why? What's so good about that woman? Ye Chen already told you last time that Ancient Ancestor Mei was secretly flirting with him too. And you yourself know that Ancient Ancestor Mei actually likes Sir!”
Dao Yi looked at Sir's back and said, “But Sir doesn't like Ancient Ancestor Mei. This is my chance.”
Wuwu sighed. “You know what kind of person Ancient Ancestor Mei is! Besides Ye Chen, she's been flirting all over the star sea. Do you think Sir would like an Ancient Ancestor like that?”
Dao Yi fell silent. He knew Ancient Ancestor Mei had far too many flaws. But he could tolerate them all. Dao Yi said, “Love is about tolerance. It's about forgiving her.”
Wuwu: “Dao Yi, you're hopeless.”
A moment of silence.
Chen Changsheng asked, “Dao Yi, let me leave. I don't want to be involved in your affairs with that Ancient Ancestor, nor in your disputes with Wuwu. Since the day I was born, my only goal has been longevity. The path of cultivation is long, beauties are but red dust skeletons, right and wrong turn to empty air – only longevity is the ultimate victor!”
Dao Yi shook his head. “Second, Chen Changsheng, I will not let you leave.”
Chen Changsheng frowned. “Why?”
Dao Yi said, “You are me, and I am you. All these sub-souls are merely figments of my imagination.”
Wuwu and Chen Changsheng both fell silent. There was some truth to that statement. From a certain perspective, they truly were manifestations of Dao Yi's imagination. As the three continued to argue, Dao Yi's aura began to destabilize. Finally, he lost his patience! He stood up abruptly.
Ji Fuyao asked, “What are you doing?”
Dao Yi replied, “I'm going to find Ancient Ancestor Mei.”
Ye Chen sighed. “She's just a woman. Why are you so obsessed? There are many beautiful women in the world.”
Dao Yi said, “You're still young, you wouldn't understand.”
Ye Chen: “...”
Dao Yi turned to leave, just as a female figure appeared in the distance. She wore a purple dress, exuding an incomparable cold elegance. Her three thousand zhang of white hair cascaded around her, and her jade-like legs moved gracefully, as if she had stepped out of a painting. The newcomer was none other than Xuanji Holy Lord, Baili!
Ji Fuyao smiled and said, “Baili, you're here.”
