Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 591 - 578: Hierarchy
"The Path of Time has reached the Immortal King level."
Immortal Realm.
The Cultivation Cave Mansion of Alkaid of the Creation Group.
Alkaid opened his eyes.
The power of time at the Immortal King level.
For millions of years since the invasion of the Ancient Immortal Realm by the Chaotic Origin Realm, no Immortal King of this level had ever appeared.
Among the four Supreme Daos, aside from the easily accessible All-Pervading Void Path, the erosion of the other three Daos, even by the formidable Master of Primordial Yi, was quite slow.
The method available to the Chaotic Origin Realm was to strike from the other Great Daos among the Three Thousand Great Daos.
By eroding other Great Daos, they shake the status of the four Supreme Daos, causing flaws to appear, then intrude upon them until they completely occupy them.
However, due to the internal power struggles among the Nine Major Groups, this plan has obviously been hindered.
So much so that the decisive battle between the two great worlds that was settled three million years ago has not led to the complete transformation of the Chaotic Origin Realm's fruits of victory over the past three million years.
Of course, Alkaid used to think that this was a problem of the Nine Major Groups themselves.
Dividing the spoils before the victory is secured.
But now...
As his Realm grows higher and his contact with the Three Thousand Great Daos increases, he has gained enlightenment.
This is the mystery of the Power of Destiny and the Power of Cause and Effect.
In other words, even after the complete collapse of the Destiny Dao and the Causality Dao at the front lines, they still blocked the Chaotic Origin Realm for over three million years!
"The Path of Time has reached the Immortal King, and moreover, the growth progress of this Dao isn't too far off."
Alkaid's attention stayed for a while on the progress displayed as 9850/10000.
Over the years, all the "energy" he collected has been focused on the Time Great Dao, and the Realm of the Path of Time has advanced by leaps and bounds.
As soon as this Realm reaches Perfection, he will be able to nurture the Dao Fruit of a Dao Lord of "Integrate Dao - Time."
And since there is no Immortal King in the Path of Time, he can fully exert the power of the "Dao Lord" of time, forcibly strip away all shares of the Dao Lords of the Path of Time, and in one fell swoop accomplish the Unity of Space-Time.
By then, when he faces a Sovereign directly, he will also have the strength for a battle.
"Speaking of which, it's time to choose other Great Daos. However, whether it's the Perfection of the Void Path or the Perfection of the Path of Time, it seems that neither has been able to sprout new branches..."
Alkaid looked at the Lustrous Treasure Tree, feeling somewhat regretful.
But this regret lasted only for a moment, as his gaze had already fallen on "Chaos Rebirth."
This branch of "Chaos Rebirth" no longer belonged to the Glassy Ancient Tree.
It's just that he was accustomed to the form of the Glassy Ancient Tree, which is why he retained it in his Spiritual World.
In reality, this was the essence of his existence carrying High-Dimensional Cognition.
It stemmed from the Lustrous Treasure Tree but surpassed its blue precursor.
"If one were to compare the Three Thousand Great Daos to three thousand skill books, when my understanding of High-Dimensional Cognition manifests the essence of existence with the concept of 'Chaos,' I would have already surpassed the precursor and taken the path of outdoing the blue by being bluer. Since the Void Path is the carrier of the Three Thousand Great Daos, my 'Essence of Chaos' should also be able to serve as the carrier of the Three Thousand Great Daos… perhaps even beyond being merely the carrier of the Three Thousand Great Daos."
Thinking of this, Alkaid fell into contemplation.
After a moment, with a thought, the "Master of Heavenly Dao" simulated by Master of Primordial Yi quickly operated within the "Essence of Chaos."
Immediately after, he poured all his understanding and cognition of the Path of Time into this special concept, which only contained the "Essence of Chaos."
As expected, a feeling akin to "Time Elapses" welled up in his heart.
His "Essence of Chaos," at this moment, seemed to "come to life."
From "existence" to "vital existence."
Like...
A corpse, and a living person.
Yet, this "vital existence" lasted only for a moment. Alkaid then felt the emptiness and nothingness within.
He was "living," yet like an empty shell, a vast whiteness, a wave of nothingness, devoid of anything.
Just "existing."
This sort of "living" is like confining a person in a vast whiteness, without any substance or energy, almost no different from death.
Perhaps even more agonizing than death.
"I still need more Power of the Great Dao."
Alkaid understood in his heart.
In the next moment, the Power of the Great Dao involved in the Great Dao Tower was transferred and projected into his "living" "Essence of Chaos."
Instantly, this patch of "Essence of Chaos" rapidly became vivid and colorful.
Soul, Life, Destruction, Creation, Streaming Light, Stars...
Dozens of Great Daos constantly intertwined and reflected in his "Essence of Chaos."
But...
These Great Daos operated separately, without any power to oversee them all, nor any power to associate them, failing to comb through and clarify the cause and effect relationships of these Daos. As a result, the whole "Essence of Chaos" quickly turned into a mess.
Alkaid felt uncomfortable just "looking" at it.
If this continued for a long time, this mess would probably become chaotic enough to collapse his original essence of existence.
"I still lack the overarching role of the Destiny Dao, and the interconnection of the Causality Dao."
Alkaid understood in his heart.
He quickly activated the most powerful essence of existence to clear all the Power of the Great Dao from the "Chaos."
Fortunately, aside from Void and Time, Alkaid had only gleaned the surface of every Great Dao's power, with mediocre effects. At this moment, unleashing the Void Power, which had nurtured a Dao Lord's Dao Fruit, he effortlessly cleaned up the gradually chaotic Essence of Chaos.
Having cleared the "Essence of Chaos," he pondered for a moment, and soon, his Essence of Chaos washed down again, sweeping over the Lustrous Treasure Tree.
Those Great Dao powers cleaned by the Essence of Void, like seeds or grafted branches, poured into the Lustrous Treasure Tree, causing it to quickly sprout dozens of brand-new branches.
"Fusion Path: Soul," "Integrate Dao : Destruction," "Integrate Dao: Reincarnation," "Fusion Path: Creation"...
Dozens of branches filled the Lustrous Treasure Tree, turning it into a thriving and lush presence.
"Indeed, with my 'Essence of Chaos' on the Lustrous Treasure Tree, I can influence it through the 'Essence of Chaos'."
Alkaid was somewhat elated in his heart.
If the Essence of Chaos represented his current realm of cultivation, then the Lustrous Treasure Tree was at best a mere Immortal Artifact.
No matter how exquisite and mystical an Immortal Artifact may be, it's just a supportive tool.
One's own cultivation is the foundation of everything.
Without sufficient cultivation, one can only exert a certain power of the Immortal Artifact.
But with sufficient cultivation, refining the Immortal Artifact anew is effortlessly done.
In the next moment, he suddenly controlled the "existence" essence within his "Chaos" power, and "pulled" the Lustrous Treasure Tree out from his Spiritual World.
Yes!
He had forcefully "taken" the Lustrous Treasure Tree that had always resided within the Spiritual World and brought it out.
As soon as he "took" the treasure out and revealed just the tip of the iceberg, Great Dao Resonance occurred.
The Power of Time and Void Force of the entire Ancient Immortal Realm became unprecedentedly active.
Right after, he clearly felt that the Master of Primordial Yi's immense Computing Power was rapidly operating, seemingly about to lock onto his identity as "Yu Xiao Immortal King" in the next instant.
"Now is not yet the time."
Realizing something, Alkaid quickly took the Lustrous Treasure Tree back.
The Essence of Chaos continued to surge, obscuring any residual aura of the Lustrous Treasure Tree.
Considering that the Master of Primordial Yi had most likely noticed something, he quickly turned the tables and released energy fluctuations from his Immortal King of Time and also the Great Void Path Dual Cultivation-power.
In the next second, the Master of Primordial Yi's gaze fell on Alkaid.
Instantly, he sensed a powerful and encompassing aura through the power of Immortal Spirits.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
This perception eventually manifested into a lifeform entirely composed of green light.
Without guessing, Alkaid knew the identity of this light being.
"Great and supreme wisdom."
Alkaid greeted, controlling the projection of his Immortal Spirits in the Virtual Immortal Realm.
"Congratulations on mastering the Power of Void and Time."
The Master of Primordial Yi spoke gently in congratulation.
As the collective entity of all spirits, he maintained an equal stance towards any being.
Neither indulging in any violation of the law.
Nor possessing a shred of mercy.
"Your praise is too kind."
"Then, would you like to upload the power you've mastered along with the corresponding experience and realm? For this contribution, I will grant you no less than a hundred quintillion points."
"A hundred quintillion points."
Upon hearing this, Alkaid felt somewhat emotional.
It was the threshold for Level Nineteen Authority.
However...
"I have no intention of uploading yet."
Alkaid straightforwardly said, "I can still move forward on this path, and I do not wish to cultivate too many competitors."
"That's a pity."
The Master of Primordial Yi did not insist.
Unless it directly affected the life and death of the Chaotic Origin Realm, he did not have the power to influence the decisions of other Immortal Spirits.
Just like how the incessant internal strife of the Nine Major Groups nearly halted the war against the Ancient Immortal Realm, he could not force the Nine Major Groups to take any action.
At most, he could only grant more points to entice the Immortal Kings to take action or open up battlefields in the Lower Realm Universe Starry Sky.
"Did you receive the legacy left by the Ancestor of Space-Time?"
The Master of Primordial Yi asked again, then said, "This relates to our Chaotic Origin Realm's war against the Ancient Immortal Realm. According to the war laws initially signed by the Nine Great Sovereigns at the onset of the war, it is the duty of every Immortal Spirit to comply with inquiries involving matters at the Sovereign level."
"Currently, there's no evidence to indicate that I have received the legacy of the Ancestor of Space-Time."
Alkaid gave an ambiguous response.
"That's regrettable, as this is also a reward of a hundred quintillion level, and without precise clues, it seems you will unfortunately miss out on this reward."
The Master of Primordial Yi said.
Alkaid did not speak.
But deep within his Spiritual World, the power of the "Master of Heavenly Dao" was silently operating, maintaining the normalcy of his Immortal Spirits.
"Whether it's the legacy of the Ancestor of Space-Time or the precious experience of the Path of Time, I hope to hear some encouraging good news from you soon."
The Master of Primordial Yi spoke and slightly bowed, then disappeared from Alkaid's perception.
After the Master of Primordial Yi left, Alkaid breathed a sigh of relief.
This...
Was his second encounter with the Master of Primordial Yi.
The first time was not long ago, where they had a fierce confrontation.
But this time...
It was a close call without danger.
For a moment, he focused his mind on the "Master of Heavenly Dao", his expression filled with a hint of joy: "I actually managed to deceive the Master of Primordial Yi."
With this, he no longer had any doubt about the level of "Chaos Rebirth".
Even though the divine wonders displayed now were not many, its essence was, at the very least, at the same level of existence as the Master of Primordial Yi.
