It was originally daytime, the sun was bright and the light was endless, but at the moment Zhou Qing was reunited, the sky suddenly darkened, all the light was blocked, day and night were reversed, and a dark night without light descended.
The same situation occurred not only in the Xuanhuang Realm, but also in other large, medium and small realms in the Xuanhuang Realm. It was extremely shocking.
All colors were lost, leaving only deep, endless darkness.
At this moment, the entire realm was plunged into darkness, causing endless shock and panic.
Countless living beings looked up at the sky. The sun had already darkened, as if the end of the world had come. Many people were frightened and didn't know what was happening.
But there are also some people who are knowledgeable and immediately see the truth.
“Is this a vision of enlightenment, void and chaos?!!”
"Who is proving the truth?"
“…”
The masters were all shocked and tried to trace the source of this strange phenomenon and find the person who had preached the truth.
Throughout the ages, anyone who has attempted to become the Lord of Tao or the God of Tao, and has achieved a certain level of progress, will experience visions of enlightenment.
This is the great way of heaven and earth resonating with those who have attained enlightenment, and it appears in response to the stress.
Such a strange phenomenon covered more than one realm, and other realms were also affected. It’s just that the people in the Xuanhuang Realm were unable to discover it. The situation was extremely horrifying.
When Zhou Qing's concepts were distributed in endless time and space, he had not made much progress on the path to enlightenment and was unable to induce strange visions.
But when the endless him returns to one and his true self is gathered, it means that he truly has the ability to prove the truth, and the great Dao of heaven and earth responds directly.
The vision of the truth being proven and the lack of light in the heavens means that a new great way is being proven. At this moment, the light of the new way overwhelms everything and makes the heavens pale in comparison.
One road covers all roads, one road covers all heavens!
The masters of the Xuanhuang Realm tried their best but were unable to discover the whereabouts of the one who had attained enlightenment, because Zhou Qing was still in the Mother River of Time at this time and had not completely escaped the state of fusion with the Mother River.
But one by one, the Taoist masters and Taoist gods discovered Zhou Qing. They were also people who were outside the Tao and had broken through the barriers. The mother river of time could not bind them, so it was normal for them to notice Zhou Qing's existence.
Looking at Zhou Qing who was being guided by two Dao fruits and was on the way to transcendence, the expressions of the Dao Lords and Dao Gods all changed.
"It's him."
"How is it possible that it could be so fast?"
"How long has he been practicing? Less than a hundred years, and he has already begun to attain enlightenment. This is really..."
“…”
It can be said that all the Dao Lord-level beings in the Xuanhuang Realm know Zhou Qing. After all, in this era, he is so popular that even the high and mighty Dao Lord will pay attention to him.
But Zhou Qing's sudden enlightenment was beyond the expectations of most Taoist masters.
Based on Zhou Qing's performance, many people think that he has the potential to be a Taoist master, which is irrefutable.
But it is still shocking and incredible that he can realize his status as a Taoist master so quickly and truly set foot in this field.
To the Taoist master, this is also a mythical event!
The Taoist masters and Taoist gods looked at Zhou Qing with different thoughts, but they did not take any action to try to stop Zhou Qing from attaining enlightenment.
It's not that they all have a conscience and are willing to see a younger generation achieve enlightenment smoothly, nor is it that when living beings achieve enlightenment they will be in an invincible state that cannot be interfered with.
On the contrary, if every great celestial master wants to become the Lord of Tao, in addition to facing the calamity of attaining Tao brought by his own path, he also needs to face the human calamity brought by other people who obstruct his path.
No one will sit idly by and watch others become Taoist masters or gods and become their competitors.
For a chess player, all he wishes were chess pieces.
A person as stunning as Zhou Qing is unparalleled in the history, especially as seen by many Dao Lord-level beings. He also wants to prove the great way of righteousness and evil.
If he succeeds, then all the Taoist masters in this world will undoubtedly have one more powerful enemy.
The reason why all Dao Lord-level beings sat back and watched Zhou Qing break through was because...
From their perspective, the yin and yang energies cover the mother river of time without any loopholes, making it impossible for people to cross.
And above the Mother River of Time, a divine picture floats quietly. Although it is motionless, just looking at it will make people feel awe.
The Tai Chi diagram blocked the way, and no Taoist master dared to stop Zhou Qing.
The three steps to attain enlightenment need to be completed by Zhou Qing himself. The Tai Chi diagram cannot help him. However, the Tai Chi diagram has the ability to resolve the human calamities that he needs to face in order to attain enlightenment.
Human calamity is not something that must be experienced in order to attain enlightenment, and it does not help with the transformation of one's own Dao fruit. This calamity has absolutely nothing to do with whether one's own Dao fruit can be perfected.
It is all due to the selfish decision of some who have preached the gospel first and do not want those who come after them to be included in their ranks.
First, you will lead others to attain enlightenment, and then everyone will attain enlightenment together? This is purely a beautiful fantasy.
Those who attain enlightenment first will only block the road, making it impossible for those who come later to catch up with them.
If everyone can become a Taoist master, how can they maintain their lofty position and absolute authority? If everyone is a Taoist master, then everyone is just an ordinary person!
Therefore, if the Tai Chi diagram takes action at this time, it will only benefit Zhou Qing and not cause any harm.
He intimidated these Taoist masters and made them dare not act rashly.
"Why didn't the other Heavenly Fate sects take any action? Zhou Qing is protected by the Tai Chi diagram, so the other Heavenly Fate soldiers should show up and stop the Tai Chi diagram!"
"I have contacted fellow Taoists in the Divine Court, but they have not responded to me and seem unwilling to help."
"The same is true for the Buddhas at Lingshan. There is no news from them. How could this be?"
The Taoist masters such as Gu Zu were constantly communicating with each other, with a look of surprise and doubt in their eyes.
The soldiers of destiny protected the Yuan realm to prove the truth. Such things had happened before.
Dao masters were born in various major Taoist sects with the destiny of heaven. Their sects would naturally help them to overcome the calamity of the human world. In this respect, they have a great advantage over those who have attained the Tao who are not from the Taoist sects with the destiny of heaven, and they are safer.
However, Tai Shang Taoist Palace is not the only Taoist lineage with destiny in the heavens, nor is the Tai Chi diagram the only weapon of destiny.
According to past history, if there is someone that the Tai Chi diagram wants to protect, other soldiers of destiny will appear to restrain the Tai Chi diagram, making it impossible for both sides to interfere with the matter of proving the Tao, and ultimately it will depend on the abilities of each Taoist master.
So although those who come from the Taoist tradition of destiny have advantages, they are not 100% safe and worry-free.
But now the question is, the Tai Chi diagram is clearly going to protect Zhou Qing, but what about the other soldiers of destiny? Why is there no movement at all?
Beings like Gu Zu are totally unwilling to see a contemporary person who has been favored by a lot of destiny and luck become the Taoist master.
Originally, they wanted to wait for other destiny soldiers to appear, and after exchanging the Tai Chi diagram, stop Zhou Qing from achieving enlightenment.
But now...
The other destiny soldiers remained silent for a long time, which made Gu Zu and others feel a chill in their hearts.
They realized one thing.
"The other families tacitly accepted that Zhou Qing had attained enlightenment."
Only this answer can explain why neither the other soldiers of destiny nor the Dao masters of other destiny sects showed up.
Zhou Qing's enlightenment was tacitly approved by many Taoist sects.
"well."
A Taoist god sighed and no longer had any extra thoughts.
At this point, it was impossible for them to interrupt Zhou Qing's preaching. They could only watch and transcend, and could only hope that Zhou Qing himself would fail.
When Zhou Qing encountered the last catastrophe of attaining enlightenment, the catastrophe of annihilation and nothingness, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth changed again.
The realm was originally plunged into darkness, but suddenly a ray of light came from the darkness. In an instant, it illuminated the entire Xuanhuang realm, and even the endless void was covered by the light.
This ray of light is colorful. The colors that mortals can perceive, observe, and imagine, as well as the colors that mortals cannot observe and imagine, are all reflected in this ray of light. It is extremely gorgeous and colorful.
All major realms, the dark void, the nine underworlds of the immortal world, every corner and every crevice are all illuminated by this light.
Following the chaos in the heavens, the second vision of enlightenment appeared.
The light of the avenue!
The heavens were in chaos. It was the great path of the one who had attained enlightenment that obscured the other great paths at that moment, causing all colors to be lost.
The light of the Great Dao is the subsequent evolution. The Great Dao of those who have attained enlightenment illuminates the heavens, and even the long river of time is within its light.
Zhou Qing, who was trapped in the calamity of nirvana and nothingness, triggered a strange vision that illuminated the heavens. This was a contrast and opposition.
All the masters who knew that this was someone attaining enlightenment were closely watching the changes in the world, wanting to know what the outcome would be.
If one fails to survive the calamity of nirvana and nothingness, the light of the avenue will dim, which means failure in attaining the avenue.
And if the light of the avenue continues to exist and evolves into new phenomena, it naturally means...
Immediately afterwards, under the attention of the mighty powers in the heavens, when Zhou Qing broke through the calamity of extinction and nothingness, jumped out of the barriers and went outside the Tao, new changes appeared.
This sound seemed to come from the origin of time. Its appearance meant the opening up of the heavens and the evolution of the void.
The sound shakes all realms and resounds in the hearts of all living beings.
After the sound of the Tao that created the world appeared, everything was renewed. Countless shadows appeared under the light of the Tao, rising and falling.
There are mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, the shadows of the stars and the sun are endless, there are cosmic planes, chaos and chaos are surging, there are all kinds of spirits and creatures, and life reproduces freely...
Earth, water, wind, fire, and the way of heaven condense to calm the heavens.
Space is reshaped, and the long river of time accommodates everything.
The great way is opened up, and all the ways in the heavens evolve together.
At this time, another scene of the heavens appeared under the backdrop of the light of the Avenue. It was extremely similar to the real heavens. Everything existed, as if a new world of the heavens had really been opened up.
Finally, a layer of void served as the base, carrying all the strange visions in the heavens, as if another piece of nothingness and void had evolved and overlapped with the real nothingness and void.

The third level of enlightenment vision, the Tao transforms the heavens!
“What an amazing avenue!”
Seeing this strange sight, many people couldn't help but change color and were extremely surprised.
The two visions of emptiness and chaos and the light of the Tao are common visions that every person who has attained enlightenment will experience. The occurrence of these two visions indicates that you are truly on the path to enlightenment and are only one step away from success.
When the third level of vision appears, it means... that one has transcended! And this level of vision is also the most direct reflection of the essence of the Way that the person has realized.
If one has attained the Way of Fire, then naturally the sky will be filled with flames. The same is true for the Way of Thunder, the Way of Gold, etc.
Zhou Qing evolved the vision of recreating the heavens, which perfectly matched his Hunyuan Wuji Dao.
When the third vision appeared, the Great Dao of the Heavens also "vibrated" and completely resonated with this new Great Dao.
No matter which world you are in or which corner of the void, you can feel this change at this moment.
The wind howled, the thunder and lightning flashed, the trees grew...
Endless changes are happening everywhere in the heavens. These are the changes brought about by the resonance of the Great Dao, which encompasses all the heavens, and even the end of time cannot escape.
Sensing the emergence of these scenes, many powerful people, with different thoughts, reached a common understanding.
There is one more Taoist master in the world.
In Qingwei Dragon Palace, Ao Xuanwei stared at the sky for a long time. She could not observe that the one who had attained enlightenment was Zhou Qing, but she had a hunch in her heart that all this must have been caused by Zhou Qing.
"Be safe..."
At Yuqing Temple, Lu Qingmo's face was calm, but the marks left by her jade fingers on the table showed that she was also very nervous inside.
"I'll wait for you to come back."
In Suzhen Palace, Bai Ruoyue and Tai Su were together. The latter seemed to be in a trance, but was actually staring at the outside world.
Bai Ruoyue had an anxious look on her face. After she learned from Tai Su that it was Zhou Qing who had attained enlightenment, she became very worried.
“It must succeed.”
Bai Ruoyue paced back and forth, muttering to herself.
"Junior brother has only been communicating for a while, how come he suddenly achieved enlightenment? This is too fast. Will there be any problem? No, no, no, there will definitely be no problem. He will definitely succeed."
Tai Su suddenly came back to her senses and said:
"Don't worry. After the third level of enlightenment vision appeared, he successfully attained enlightenment as the master of the Tao."
As soon as Tai Su finished speaking, a new strange vision appeared.
Below the vision of the re-creation of the heavens, many more worlds evolved, and in another void, the world of the heavens appeared.
But unlike the former, the empty heavens behind are gray.
The former is very real and looks like it was truly opened up, while the latter is gray and hazy, constantly twisting and fluctuating.
The fourth level of vision of enlightenment, the reversal of the root!
"The Great Dao Master."
Tai Su whispered, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
To become a Taoist master or Taoist god, only three strange phenomena will appear, two for general use and one for exclusive use. This is an iron rule, and it has been so since ancient times. There will be no surprises.
However, when a person breaks through from being a master of the righteous Tao to being a master of the negative Tao, a strange phenomenon will be triggered.
It is the opposite of the root cause at this moment.
At this time, there were many Taoist masters and Taoist gods who had the same mentality as Tai Su.
Many beings at this level have practiced for several times, or even several epochs, but are still in the positive stage of the Tao, unable to realize the opposite of the Tao and become the Lord of the Tao.
However, Zhou Qing not only achieved the status of Daoist Master in less than a hundred years of practice, but also proved the great ways of both positive and negative in one fell swoop, truly ranking at the top of the heavens.
It's really... it makes people envy it crazy.
How shocking is this? Many Dao Lords recalled the information about Zhou Qing and sighed inwardly.
How come all the good things are taken by this person! The vision is maintained, and the avenues of the heavens continue to respond.
Outside the Tao, Zhou Qing watched as his own Tao was completely transformed and integrated with other Taos, coexisting harmoniously.
After the addition of his avenue, the Sea of Avenue, which was already boundless in size, became even larger.
Gradually, the movement in the sea of Dao subsided, and Zhou Qing's Dao was perfectly integrated with the Dao of the heavens.
At this moment, Zhou Qing felt his own condition, and a look of deep satisfaction appeared on his face.
Immortal, eternal, great, ancient and many other words of praise can be used to describe him to highlight his essence at this moment.
He is not only the Lord of the Great Dao, but also an innate god and demon, a truly eternal existence, no different from those pure innate gods and demons.
He is immortal and his destiny is hidden. When other Taoist masters and gods need to sleep, he can still be active in the world and exert his full strength without being affected in the slightest.
“I succeeded.”
Zhou Qing took one last look at the sea of the avenue, and then fell into the avenue.
For the Taoist master, there are no restrictions outside or inside the Tao.
The Dao of Dao Lord-level existence exists independently from the Ocean of Dao, but the Dao Lord himself still has to live among the heavens.
The outside of the Tao is desolate and empty, and there is eternal nothingness. Who would want to stay in such a place?
After passing through the boundary between the inside and outside of the Tao and walking out of the long river of time, Zhou Qing returned to the current time node in the world.
There is a circle of Taoist light above and behind his head. Inside the Taoist light, there is a perfect Taoist fruit hanging that is flawless, both positive and negative.
Zhou Qing stood in the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm, but in the Sanqing Realm, the Taiyi Realm and even in the Jiuyou Realm, anyone who had reached a certain level of cultivation could see him at the same time.
At this moment, Zhou Qing's figure was reflected in the heavens and was everywhere.
His gaze moved, piercing through the boundary walls, crossing the void, and saw the many powerful beings in the realms, and looked into the eyes of the Taoist masters and Taoist gods.
In his eyes, the heavens rise and fall, the void is eternal, and all the laws are in motion, as if carrying other void heavens.
After becoming the Lord of Tao, transcending time and breaking through barriers, the distance between nothingness and emptiness will no longer exist.
They stood on the shore, looking down at the Mother River of Time, and everything inside could be seen and touched.
Some of the many Taoist masters and Taoist gods seen by Zhou Qing nodded at him and called him fellow Taoist.
Some of them just looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Some people simply looked away and disappeared.
But no matter how the Dao Lord-level beings reacted, there were turbulent waves in their hearts and it was difficult to calm down.
After actually seeing Zhou Qing and sensing his situation, the shock in the hearts of these Dao Masters was even greater than when they discovered that it was Zhou Qing who was proving the Dao and that he had attained the great ways of both positive and negative in one fell swoop. It had even reached an unbelievable level.
"Innate Gods and Demons..."
They were shocked to discover that Zhou Qing had gone against his innate nature and achieved an eternal body.
The impact this incident brought to them was unimaginable. Something that had never been done before had become a reality today.
Such an achievement can be called the first person in history! Shocking the world in one day!
