Chapter 536 The New World, The Fallen Heavenly Dao
The cultivation methods in that world were unique, the people in it were also unique, and the world itself was even more unique. This instantly piqued Jiang Hao's interest, and he decided to go and see that world.
Jiang Hao briefly explained the situation to Gu Feng, Ling Bao, and Yuan Shi.
The three were also very surprised, never expecting such an interesting world to exist. They agreed with Jiang Hao's idea.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, go in peace. Leave the Three Realms to us. We will protect everything in the Three Realms."
As for Immortal King Gu Feng and the other two, they did not plan to go with them. The Supreme Holy Realm was still eyeing them covetously, and they needed a strong person to keep watch.
The two Celestial Venerables were primarily focused on exploring the path to the Eighth Incarnation and had little energy left for that.
Gu Feng nodded, and Lingbao and Yuanshi, the two Heavenly Venerables, also nodded in agreement. As for Taixu Immortal Lord, he was in seclusion and was not disturbed.
Jiang Hao took a step and disappeared into the Lingxiao Palace.
At the edge of the Three Realms, Jiang Hao took a step and his figure disappeared into the void.
Gu Feng stood in front of the Lingxiao Palace, watching the disappearing figure, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"Hearing what Fellow Daoist Jiang said, it seems that we will soon have several very powerful and amazing fellow Daoists. That's great."
"Yes, our team is about to grow stronger again." Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes also flashed with anticipation, looking forward to the few geniuses of all ages that Fellow Daoist Jiang mentioned, whose talents were beyond even the level of Immortal Kings.
The three exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and returned to their respective positions to continue overseeing the Three Realms.
In the boundless, chaotic void, Jiang Hao walked on the void. There was no path beneath his feet, only endless chaotic energy and the occasional fragments of the world drifting by.
He walked very fast, each step traversing countless star fields.
This vast and boundless chaotic void is easy to get lost in and extremely dangerous, but fortunately Jiang Hao has a definite direction.
Along the way, he saw worlds floating in chaos, some as bright as pearls, some as dim as dead stars, some being born, and some being destroyed.
The vast world is like a sea of stars, while the small world is like dust, densely packed and countless.
Jiang Hao sighed inwardly, "The myriad worlds are indeed vast. A great world is like a speck of dust in the entire chaotic void, just like a planet in my previous life, which was insignificant and unremarkable in the universe."
Therefore, after seeing the vastness of the universe, many people will have philosophical questions such as how insignificant they are and what they are in the universe.
Some people even suspect that the universe is the body of a terrifying being, and that the various planets are merely cells of that being.
No one knew the answer to this question in his previous life, but in today's cultivation world, Jiang Hao can say with certainty that it is possible.
Because the Celestial King himself can create universes, creating universes the size of those in his previous life.
In this way, for all beings in the universe created by the Celestial King, they truly live within a single, great cell.
That's why Jiang Hao made such a remark after seeing the various situations in the chaotic void.
Every world has its own way, its own laws, and its own living beings.
Even vast worlds like the Origin Realm and the Immortal Realm are but a drop in the ocean in the chaotic void.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Hao stopped. Ahead, a world floated silently in the chaos.
From the outside, it doesn't appear as radiant as the Origin Realm, nor as vast and boundless as the Immortal Domain; instead, it exudes a heavy, oppressive, and decaying aura.
On the world's barrier, faint black lines wriggle, like the bulging of blood vessels after a disease, like something alive.
Clearly, something is wrong with this world.
Of course, the most bizarre thing is the shape of this world, because the shape of this world is a tomb.
Yes, it is a tomb. The entire world is shaped like a giant ancient tomb.
The tombstone stands tall, piercing the depths of chaos, with two ancient characters engraved on its surface, the characters faded and worn.
The tomb is enormous, even more vast than the ordinary Great World, like a desolate tomb forgotten by time.
And this world is also called the Tomb Realm, which just happens to match its appearance.
Jiang Hao watched for a while, speechless for a moment, then smiled wryly.
"It's truly amazing how things can happen. Even the world can grow into the shape of a tomb. No wonder it's called the Tomb Realm. No wonder it's so bizarre."
He has seen a round world, a square world, an irregular world, and even a world that looks like a leaf.
But this was the first time Jiang Hao had ever seen something shaped like a tomb.
Jiang Hao learned from the memories of the projected body that this tomb realm was also a very legendary world.
It existed for many ages, but each age ended in a great destruction.
Because this Heavenly Way is flawed and its will is distorted, it will unleash a world-destroying power every long period of time, wiping out all living beings and then allowing the world to start anew.
For countless eons, countless powerful beings have attempted to defy the laws of nature and break this cycle of reincarnation.
Some succeeded, some failed, but no one truly changed the fate of the world.
The Tomb Realm, a cursed world, has a history that is an epic tale of blood and fire.
The origin of the cemetery is called the Chaos Era, the era in which the primordial Heavenly Way was born.
In the beginning, the universe was a boundless chaos, without time, space, or life.
From the chaos, the first supreme being was naturally born—the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
It is without desire or emotion, it governs the chaotic order, divides Yin and Yang, opens up heaven and earth, and establishes all the laws, cycles, life and death, and fortune of the world.
The primordial Heavenly Dao assisted Heaven and Earth in creating the first batch of innate gods and demons, who were born from the origin of chaos.
Born to wield the power of the Great Dao, each possessing extraordinary combat strength and immortal-level power, they are the earliest overlords of this world.
The Heavenly Dao divides the world into countless great worlds, small worlds, spirit realms, demon realms, immortal realms, human realms, the realm of the dead, and forbidden lands of life, constructing a complete system.
The world was rich in spiritual energy, and innate gods and demons roamed freely. In the ancient times, powerful beings were as numerous as rain, and the strongest could shatter stars and create worlds.
"What a vast world with endless potential!"
The fact that so many innate beings with immortal-level strength can be born directly shows that this tomb realm has unlimited potential.
It has the potential to become the overlord of all worlds. If things continue to develop this way, there will definitely be Immortal Kings in the future, and there will be quite a few of them.
Moreover, this world was very large at the beginning, much larger than the original Origin Realm, and had tremendous potential.
However, things did not develop in a positive direction. As time went by, selfishness and desire arose in the natural order of this world, and it was no longer just and impartial.
It views all living beings as nourishment and pawns, and sets cruel rules: the prosperity of all things will inevitably lead to decline, the strongest will inevitably be subject to final reckoning, and the cycle of eras will harvest the original power of all living beings to strengthen itself.
From then on, the just and primordial Heavenly Way was destroyed, and the corrupt old Heavenly Way ruled the world.
This is the root of all tragedies in the cemetery.
"Sure enough, something's not right."
Jiang Hao frowned. It was extremely rare for the Heavenly Dao to have selfish desires and wants.
Because the Way of Heaven is essentially a combination of the world's will and the rules of the Great Way. Rules have no emotions and no so-called seven emotions and six desires.
Generally speaking, the Way of Heaven is impartial and selfless from the very beginning; it is the embodiment of rules and will not favor or hate anyone.
However, the Heavenly Dao of the Tomb Realm has developed selfish desires and greed. This is not right, and something is clearly wrong.
"From the perspective of the development of the cemetery industry, there are two reasons for all these changes."
