The two Venerable Lords, Samsara and Void, gazed silently at the distant Heavenly Platform.
At that very moment.
A vast figure flew swiftly from afar.
The two turned around to look.
A tall, white-bearded Taoist priest slowly revealed himself in the void.
After seeing the person appear.
The Lord of Reincarnation laughed heartily and shouted loudly.
"Old Taoist priest, you're back too?"
"I thought you were trapped in the Land of Return to Emptiness and wouldn't be able to come back for the time being."
The Taoist priest with the high crown rolled his eyes at him, then responded indifferently.
"Reincarnation, do you really think there's any place in the Land of Return to Emptiness that can trap me?"
"You've only hitched a ride on the wave of nothingness."
"Otherwise..."
"Maybe I'll even come back before you."
We see yet another venerable master returning.
The Dao Alliance disciples watching from the sidelines were instantly in an uproar.
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Greetings, Lord of Yin and Yang."
The Taoist priest with the tall hat waved his sleeves and then looked at the Chengtian Terrace in the distance.
In fact.
Millions of years ago, when Zhang Yuhe first joined the Dao Alliance.
Yin Yang Venerable Master happened to see information about Zhang Yuhe in the Daoist discussion area.
After seeing the news that Zhang Yuhe had used the power of a god-king to consecutively defeat three invincible supreme beings.
The Yin-Yang Master couldn't sit still.
He immediately ended his exploration in the Land of Return to Emptiness and set off to return to the Dao Alliance.
However, the environment in the Land of Return to Emptiness is far too complex.
Unlike the Void Lord, he cannot break through the void and teleport quickly.
It can only move forward by constantly adjusting its orientation based on certain coordinates.
So until now.
He then returned to the Dao Alliance's headquarters.
Looking towards the direction of Chengtiantai, one can see the vast and boundless aura of Dao.
And the surrounding surge of spiritual energy that swept across the heavens and earth.
The Yin-Yang Master couldn't help but feel fortunate.
Thankfully, he came back quickly.
Otherwise...
We might miss this once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.
The Yin-Yang Master watched silently for a long time.
Then he said with emotion.
"All these years, we've been working for nothing."
"If I had known that such an extraordinary figure would be born in this vast world, I would have known better."
"Why should we old fogies keep going to the Land of Return to Emptiness to make ourselves uncomfortable?"
"Everyone can just sit at home and wait."
Upon hearing these words from the Yin Yang Master...
The Void Lord beside him asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yin and Yang, what does this mean?"
"There's something I don't quite understand."
"Do you think we were going in the wrong direction before?"
"Shouldn't we go to the Land of Return to Nothingness to find a way out for the future?"
Or perhaps...
"Do you think there are no other worlds beyond this long river?"
Facing the question from the Lord of the Void.
The Yin-Yang Master did not respond directly.
He looked up into the distance.
A long time passed.
Only then did he slowly begin to speak.
"Beyond the long river lies another world."
"But given our limited perspective, we probably will never find it."
"Perhaps somewhere in the long river of chaos, there exists a peculiar portal."
"Only through this gateway can we escape the long river of chaos and move towards a wider world."
"But it's quite obvious."
"The great power that created this world would not allow people to find the entrance so easily."
"Through years of exploration, I have come to a conclusion."
"Perhaps only by fully comprehending all three thousand Great Daos and achieving perfect unity can one truly understand them."
"Only then will the portal to the outer realms be able to appear."
"I used to think that my deduction must be wrong."
"The rules of the Great Dao are mysterious and unfathomable."
"Being able to comprehend hundreds of them is already extremely extraordinary."
"How could anyone possibly master all three thousand Great Daos?"
Speaking of which...
The Yin-Yang Master paused for a moment.
He looked at the Chengtiantai in the distance, and then continued.
"Until now."
"Seeing the momentum of Zhang Yuhe's breakthrough, I finally understood."
"So there really are people who can achieve perfect unity with the Great Dao."
"If that's the case..."
"Then all our previous explorations were indeed meaningless."
"We just need to wait for Zhang Yuhe to successfully break through, or for him to advance to the Supreme Realm in the future."
"Perhaps that legendary portal will appear naturally."
Hearing the Yin-Yang Master's narration.
Void and Reincarnation exchanged a glance, their faces filled with disbelief.
Is there such a saying?
How come they didn't know this before?
Only by mastering the Three Thousand Great Daos can the portal manifest.
Only then can the road to the outside world be opened.
That sounds a bit far-fetched.
"Yin and Yang, the portal you mentioned must be the Gate of Creation."
While Void and Reincarnation were still somewhat puzzled.
A clear, ethereal voice drifted faintly from the distant horizon.
Everyone quickly turned around to look.
A massive vortex appeared in the sky.
A figure in white slowly emerged from the vortex.
Seeing this situation.
The crowd shouted excitedly.
"Greetings, Yuanzun."
The three, Void and Reincarnation, Yin and Yang, also shouted respectfully at the same time.
"Yuan Zun, you're finally back."
The nine supreme masters of the Dao Alliance are all at the same Supreme Realm.
However, Yuan Zun's status is clearly in a class of its own.
Not only because he was the one who initiated and founded the Dao Alliance.
More importantly, it's about ability.
Yuan Zun's strength far surpasses that of the others.
It was obvious to everyone from the way he made his entrance.
Yuan Zun did not master the rules of the void.
But he can break through the void directly with pure power.
To enable teleportation in the void.
What incredible power this is!
It was completely beyond what most people could imagine.
Yuan Zun had a handsome appearance, like a boy next door.
If it's not someone you know well.
Most people would probably think he was a scholar from some mortal realm.
However, in reality...
He is the oldest being in the entire River of Chaos.
He even created the cultivation system in the Long River.
He also advocated for the establishment of the Dao Alliance.
Theoretically speaking.
All cultivators in the entire Chaos River must call him Ancestor.
However, Yuan Zun has always used his name as his title.
【元】 is his name.
Unlike the other venerable masters.
He did not use the supreme rules he had mastered as his title.
Instead, they directly use their names as identifiers.
Yuan.
In the beginning of time, heaven and earth were created, and all things came into being.
This is the most domineering title in the world.
They saw Yuan Zun appear.
Void and Samsara immediately flew forward.
The Void Lord immediately asked.
"Yuan Zun, what did you mean by the Gate of Creation you just mentioned?"
"Could there really be such a portal between heaven and earth?"
Yuan Zun gazed into the distance.
A long time passed.
He then slowly began to speak.
“Long, long ago, in this chaotic river, there was no cultivation civilization.”
"I should be the first cultivator to step out of the universe and enter the River of Chaos."
"The moment I stepped into the long river."
“There was once a mysterious force telling me this.”
"Stepping into the long river is only the first step."
"To leave this world, one must find the gate of creation."
"Only by passing through the gate of creation can one reach a wider sky."
"Back then, I didn't understand what those words meant."
"Until his cultivation level continued to improve and he broke through to the Supreme Realm."
"That's when I remembered what happened back then."
"So even the universe has its limits."
"Although the Chaos River is vast and endless, its limit is only the Supreme Realm."
"If you want to pursue a higher realm, you must find that legendary Gate of Creation."
"That's why I've been encouraging everyone to explore the Land of Return to Emptiness all these years."
"Hopefully we can find that legendary portal."
