Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Xuan was overjoyed when he saw Hong Yuanchu agree. The circle of communication within the Origin Dao Crystal was finally about to expand.

Furthermore, Hong Yuanchu would be able to verify his status as a big shot in the same realm as him.

With that, as a big shot in the same realm as Hong Yuanchu, would it not be easy for him to trick other Dao realm experts into joining?

Furthermore, after his divine soul journeyed through the Great Dao, his strength would definitely soar.

It would not be long before he broke through to the Dao realm.

He raised his hand and took out a Dao aura ball from the Origin Dao Crystal, handing it over to Hong Yuanchu.

As long as he injected his aura into this Dao aura ball, the Origin Dao Crystal would be able to use this Dao aura ball to record his Dao aura.

Hong Yuanchu put away the Dao aura ball. It was rare for him to meet someone of the same cultivation level, so he could not wait to discuss the Dao with him.

Recently, he had encountered some hindrances whileopening his Dao path, so he was unable to continue moving forward.

He urgently needed to gain new insights and inspiration.

Of course, he did not ask these questions right off the bat. It would make him seem too anxious, and he would be looked down upon by the other party.

“Daoist Brother, where are you going?”

Chu Xuan smiled and said, “I’m taking a walk through the Great Dao. It’s been a long time since I’ve come to take a look.”

Then, he continued, “The Great Dao is invisible, but there’s a scenery here that everyone wants to see. Take a walk and see more of it. You’ll gain new insights.”

He could sense that this fellow, Hong Yuanchu, had encountered a bottleneck and wanted to discuss the Dao with him to gain inspiration.

“Daoist Brother, you are right.”

Hong Yuanchu sighed. Ever since he started opening his Dao path, he had been obsessed with it. He had never really walked around inside the Great Dao.

Perhaps, if he walked around and took a look, he would gain new insights?

He suddenly felt enlightened.

“I was too obsessed with opening the Dao path. My obsession caused me to fall into a rut.”

Hong Yuanchu sighed and said, “Back then, the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm were like thirty-six mountains. Each mountain was taller than the one before it. In order to climb them, I had to rack my brains and comprehend a hundred different lives. Some might even have to reincarnate and cultivate for another lifetime.”

“After going through many difficulties, I finally reached the peak of the mountain and stepped into the Daoyuan realm. Unfortunately, I became confused and fell into a rut. Fortunately, Daoist Brother has enlightened me.”

Chu Xuan listened silently. Based on Hong Yuanchu’s lamentation, he learned some new information about the Dao realm.

The Dao realm was divided into thirty-six levels, which were also compared to thirty-six mountains. Each level was a world of difference.

Only after passing the thirty-six levels or, in other words, climbing the thirty-six mountains, could one step into the Daoyuan realm.

More specific information was still needed for him to fully understand the Dao realm.

Perhaps he would only understand the secrets of the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm after reaching it.

“Each level in the Dao realm is more difficult than the last, and opening the Dao path is a hundred times more difficult. The Great Dao is endless, and we still need to search for our own paths bitterly.”

Chu Xuan also sighed with emotion.

“Yes.”

Hong Yuanchu agreed very much.

“We call the thirty-six levels of the Dao realm the thirty-six mountains, and each mountain is taller than the last. Each level is a hundred times more difficult to break through than simply reaching the Dao realm…”

Looking back, Hong Yuanchu sighed with emotion.

Back then, there were many people in the Dao realm, whether they were good friends, enemies, or even Dao partners.

In the end, he was the only one who managed to step into the Daoyuan realm by relying on his great perseverance and great fortune.

The rest of them struggled bitterly in the Dao realm and even perished.

Chu Xuan nodded and sighed as well. In reality, he did not feel any emotion at all.

After all, it took him less than ten years to cultivate from the mortal realm to the Heaven realm.

Furthermore, he became stronger by simply staying home.

How could he possibly understand how difficult it was to cultivate?

It was about time for them to say their goodbyes.

Chu Xuan was worried that his divine soul would suddenly return when the reward duration was up, which would trigger some doubts on Hong Yuanchu’s side.

Thus, he bade him goodbyes and left.

Hong Yuanchu did not try to persuade him to stay.

The doubts in his heart had already been answered.

However, when he saw Chu Xuan walking through the Great Dao with a carefree look on his face, he was astonished.

The other party was much stronger than he was.

He was still unable to walk through the Great Dao with such ease.

Furthermore, he could not stay for too long.

Only when Chu Xuan’s figure disappeared into the distance did he retract his gaze.

“Another Daoyuan will soon end. The great tribulation of Daoyuan will then descend upon us. There should be Heaven’s blessed in the nine zones who will obtain great fortune and fight for the next Daoyuan’s great opportunities to become the next Daoyuan’s Law Creators.”

Hong Yuanchu muttered to himself, “How many Dao realm cultivators will be affected by the great tribulation of this Daoyuan and die? Who will be able to become Law Creators of the next Daoyuan?”

When he thought about this, he could not help but sigh.

He had once opened a Dao path at the end of the previous Daoyuan and participated in the creation of the laws of the previous Daoyuan. The long years of the previous Daoyuan had already ended, and now this Dao Yuan was reaching its end.

If one did not enter the Daoyuan realm, they would not be able to escape the Great Daoyuan Tribulation. There was a risk of dying in the Great Tribulation.

Chu Xuan did not know about the Great Daoyuan Tribulation. However, when he learned that this Daoyuan was reaching its end, he had a premonition that something big would definitely happen.

It was just like how a dynasty at its end would definitely descend into chaos, and the people there would suffer as they tried their best to survive the ensuing upheaval.

After leaving Hong Yuanchu, Chu Xuan continued to walk through the Great Dao, continuously comprehending the Great Dao.

No method of comprehending the Great Dao would allow him to personally walk through the Great Dao, but this system reward did.

This was a great opportunity.

During this “tour” of the Great Dao, Chu Xuan had obtained a huge harvest. The first thing he learned was the division of levels in the Dao realm, as well as above the Dao realm.

It was also the final known realm of cultivation.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Chu Xuan felt that the Origin Dao Crystal had already reached the critical point of the first stage of its transformation process.

He stored it back into his divine soul.

As he continued to walk through the Great Dao, he did not encounter a second pathfinder other than Hong Yuanchu.

Suddenly, he felt a strong pulling force covering his divine soul.

When he regained his senses, his divine soul had already returned to reality.

In that instant, Chu Xuan felt that his cultivation level had soared rapidly.

From the fifth level of the Heaven realm, it quickly rose to the sixth level, and showed no signs of stopping.

The Dao aura and Dao principles wrapped themselves around his soul, and the Indestructible Chaos Body also continuously absorbed the Dao aura.

It was in the process of being upgraded.

The Origin Dao Crystal was also emitting a hazy brilliance.

Chu Xuan placed the Origin Dao Crystal back into the pocket dimension.

When the Origin Dao Crystal returned, the pocket dimension rumbled and began its own upgrade process.

It was filled with the Dao aura, and its Great Dao became more evident.

The ordinary tree grew again.

The other heavenly materials and earthly treasures grew as well, and many of them were filled with Dao aura.

On the mountain where the ordinary tree was, many plants and animals had undergone further transformation. Dao aura filled the air, and the dense Dao intent was transformed into a Dao tree.

The heavenly materials and earthly treasures on the mountain had all become Dao fruits.

There was now a forest of Dao fruits here.

As the pocket dimension upgraded, Buddha Nanwu started to break through to the Divine realm under the influence of the Dao aura.

Su Xian’er, Xiang Xing, and Chu Yun all obtained significant gains.

Chu Xuan was busy, so he waved his hand to absorb a strand of Dao aura and sent it into Chu Pingfan’s body in the universe space.

Boom!

His body rumbled, and the Indestructible Chaos Body became even stronger.

His divine soul had completed its transformation.

His cultivation level was still improving and, in the blink of an eye, he was already at the eighth level of the Heaven realm.

Chu Xuan closed his eyes slightly as he examined his gains from this “tour” through the Great Dao, and the changes brought about by the increase in his cultivation level.

Boom!

Ninth level of the Heaven realm!

The momentum did not stop there.

At this moment, the spiritual power in his body began to transform. His domain power seemed to be fusing with the spiritual power in his body.

He was making a breakthrough to the Divine realm.
