Chapter 2087 - 2086: The Measure of Enlightenment Realm, Heavenly God City

The Heavenly Dao has no form, or perhaps it initially doesn't even exist.

As time gradually advances, the world develops faster and more splendidly, eventually giving birth to the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao at this stage is similar to the current Heavenly Dao of the Divine Continent—without a defined shape, lacking a clear self-awareness.

It evolves continuously through self-evolution.

Until it finally becomes the Heavenly Dao like that of the Nine Domains World, capable of controlling the Power of the World, capable of having its own thoughts.

Xu Zimei knows nothing about a stronger Heavenly Dao; he only knows this much.

Because the constraints of the Nine Domains World are too severe, it is impossible to come into contact with external information.

Sitting on the Time-Space Shuttle, Xu Zimei was full of emotions as he traveled along the way.

This Nine Domains World, he could be considered to have risen layer by layer from the very bottom, having essentially walked through and seen it all.

The journey was also exceedingly arduous, growing from the initial stage of Great Emperor to the current stage of Three Corpses Strong One.

Xu Zimei sits beneath the Heavenly Dao, numerous Great Dao rules manifest, with the Power of the Great Dao lingering around him.

In the eyes of others, the Power of the Heavenly Dao, which is untouchable and does not reveal its true form, is just that easily present before Xu Zimei.

This is the advantage of Creation.

The Power of the Heavenly Dao is at my disposal; I can comprehend it however I wish without needing to seek out that sliver of possibility in the unknown.

The benefit of this is that Xu Zimei can comprehend the Dao at an exceptionally rapid pace, surpassing others like a rocket.

This is no joke.

Xu Zimei sat cross-legged, soaring in the Sea of Great Dao, as if his whole body was being nourished.

What is the Great Dao? The Great Dao comprises three thousand, only leaving a thread of life.

But in reality, three thousand is just a general term, true Enlightenment Realm emphasizes quantity.

In this phase, strength is distinguished by quantity.

A hundred Paths form one level, ten thousand constitute another, and even a hundred thousand to a million are another level.

Some say this is the end of the Great Dao.

It is also said that the Great Dao has no limits, and in the end, there might even be a billion Great Daos.

It's just that no matter who it is, nobody could cultivate to such a realm until death.

This is the ultimate goal of the Great Dao.

Therefore, be it Xu Zimei or any cultivator of past generations, when the Great Dao at the level of Enlightenment reaches a certain stage, one can go challenge the Heavens.

The previous Demon Lord was invincible because he existed at the level of ten million Great Dao.

This level was nearly invincible at the time.

It is said that even the ruler of the Holy Court, the Holy Ancestor, was merely at the level of a million Great Dao back then.

But now, after countless years, through the eras of the ancient, middle, and current ages, no one knows to what stage the Holy Ancestor and the Holy Court have grown.

After all, with so much time having passed, even a pig would grow stronger if it engaged in cultivation.

Especially when the Holy Court is the minion of the Heavenly Dao, it is naturally much easier in the aspect of enlightenment.

Therefore, Xu Zimei is very aware that he cannot judge the current strength of the Holy Court by the information of the previous Demon Lord.

This is also what the True Martial Great Emperor has always been concerned about.

...…

But regardless of the quantity of the Great Daos, it is not what Xu Zimei needs to consider right now.

First, he must enter the Enlightenment Realm, to comprehend a hundred Great Daos as the first step of success.

Despite the high speed of the Time-Space Shuttle, the expanse of the Nine Domains is just too vast.

Even with the full speed of the Time-Space Shuttle, it took more than a month for the two to reach the Ghost God Realm.

During this time, they had to be cautious of the storms ripping between domains, and Xu Zimei was diligently cultivating toward enlightenment.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruhu was also cultivating.

After merging with the Three Corpses, Ruhu's cultivation speed was incredibly rapid, as if he was cheating.

More than a month, along with previous efforts, Lin Ruhu had already bloomed one flower.

In the realm of the Three Flowers, the Heaven Flower has bloomed, and now he is working hard to bloom the Bloom of Earth.

Until the Time-Space Shuttle stopped in the Ghost God Realm, Lin Ruhu awoke from his meditative state.

"Zimo, Zimo,"

Xu Zimei was called out of cultivation, his Divine Soul quickly returning to his body.

He examined his condition; despite not succeeding in enlightenment over more than a month of cultivation,

his insights into enlightenment had been increasing.

The Enlightenment Realm is like a threshold; once you can grasp the first strand of the Power of the Great Dao, it becomes much easier afterward.

To use a simple analogy, it's like a wall blocking a monstrous wave.

If a single drop of water penetrates the wall, it proves the wall is not impenetrable.

From then on, breaking through the wall becomes much easier.

Similarly, the hardest part about enlightenment is initially grasping that first thread of the Power of the Great Dao.

Xu Zimei opened his eyes and looked at the Ghost God Realm.

All around was flourishing vitality, and this was before a city.

Xu Zimei had been to the Ghost God Realm, where the ruler is called Thousand Calamities End, who seems to know the previous Demon Lord.

At that time, Xu Zimei had a few encounters with Thousand Calamities End.

This Ghost God Realm is divided into two halves.

One half is the Demi-god Region, and the other is the Demi-ghost Region.

The combination of the two regions is the true Ghost God Realm.

However, the people in the two regions are not peaceful.

The so-called Ghost God is not truly a ghost nor a god; it speaks to characteristics.

Ghostly traits and divine traits.

One can invite the Ghost God to possess them, thereby significantly enhancing their own strength.

This is no joke.

Throughout antiquity, people from both regions considered their divine spirits to be the strongest, leading to continuous conflicts and wars.

At the center of the Ghost God Realm, at the border between the Demi-god and Demi-ghost Regions,

lies the Nine Ghosts Academy.

This was where Xu Zimei left back then.

And it is the domain ruled by Thousand Calamities End and the Nine Mountain Ghosts.

It is forbidden to appear at night in the Demi-ghost Region, as it is said that ghosts roam freely, feeding on living beings.

In the Demi-god Region, however, the night is filled with lights, while it's forbidden to appear during the day.

Because during the day, the divine spirits feast, and anyone who ventures out gets eaten.

This seems to be the rule of this world.

And as ruler, Thousand Calamities End allowed such rules to exist.

Whether there's a deeper meaning, Xu Zimei does not know, for to him, this place isn't important.

Not far from the Nine Ghosts Academy is the True Martial Mountain, where the True Martial Holy Sect is located.

Of course, it refers to the True Martial Holy Sect of the Nine Domains.

Xu Zimei is not very familiar with the roads, and evidently, the True Martial Mountain is not as famous as the Nine Ghosts Academy.

In fact, one only needs to find the Nine Ghosts Academy to find the True Martial Mountain.

"Let's go into the city and take a look," Xu Zimei said.

The two approached the city, only to see on the somewhat old signboard above, three large characters: Heavenly God City.

The city gates were desolate, with not a soul in sight.

Occasionally, a few breezes blew by, seemingly carrying nothing away.

Inside the city, it was even more desolate, giving Xu Zimei a sense of foreboding.

This should be the Demi-god Region.

Not a soul could be seen during the day, indicating that only those in the Demi-god Region wouldn't dare to come out.

He then looked at the houses on both sides, and inside were pairs of eyes.
