Suddenly, a stock market crasher appeared, playfully wagged its tail at Gu Changqing, and then quickly jumped away, turning back to provoke Gu Changqing in an extremely human-like manner.
The shepherd chuckled and said, "These little things are always restless."
He looked at Gu Changqing, who was deep in thought, and asked, "How is it? Do you have any insights?"
Gu Changqing ignored the rampant stock market crash at the Imperial Mausoleum. He frowned slightly: "The shackles of Heaven's Way?"
The shepherd smiled slightly and said, "As expected of someone of the Holy Clan bloodline."
Then he sighed, "It's a pity for the bloodline of the Holy Race."
He gazed into the distance, seemingly piercing through the sky and the darkness, until he reached that place that had long since turned into ruins.
"The shackles of the Heavenly Dao are a kind of shackle that has been imposed on this world since the birth of all living beings. No living being can break through the path of the Dao; the only way is to break it."
As if remembering something, the shepherd looked at the protagonist strangely: "But what's strange is, why don't I sense anything from you?"
The shepherd said, "The shackles of Heaven reside within the soul of every living being."
Gu Changqing asked in surprise, "Soul?"
The shepherd nodded: "That's right, it is the soul. The soul is the source of all living beings, and every living being in the world must go through the soul to be born. The shackles are hidden deep in the soul."
Gu Changqing seemed to understand everything and said, "I see."
At this moment, Gu Changqing couldn't help but think, "It seems that my soul is not shackled. Could it be because of time travel?"
Gu Changqing glanced at the shepherd, lost in thought, wondering if he had noticed my unusual behavior.
The shepherd, oblivious to Gu Changqing's change in demeanor, continued:
"The Path of the Dao is a realm beyond the Tribulation. Your current realm, Holy Emperor, is Divine Void. The next realms are Dao Void, Dao Integration, Tribulation Transcending, Path of the Dao, and finally, the Dao Realm."
"And every Holy Emperor will eventually become the only Dao Realm cultivator in the world. To embark on the path of the Dao, one must forge one's own path."
"However, the shackles of the Heavenly Dao imprison every being on the Heavenly Path. Apart from the Holy Emperor who can ascend to the Dao Realm through the Heavenly Dao Path, no other being in the world can reach the Dao Realm."
"That Illusionary Heavenly Emperor changed his path, but unfortunately, he still ended up dying and his Dao dissipated. The only way for a Holy Emperor to ascend the Dao is through Heaven; all other paths lead to death."
Gu Changqing did not immediately respond to the shepherd's words, but thought to himself: "Since I do not belong to this world, and I have never been bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, what is my Dao?"
The shepherd watched Gu Changqing deep in thought, but did not disturb him. He simply squatted there quietly, watching the handsome dragon-man sitting cross-legged on the grass, deep in thought.
"Although this person carries the aura of a Holy Emperor and even his body has undergone the Holy Emperor's inheritance, his state of mind is different from that of previous Holy Emperors, filled with indifference and desolation towards living beings."
The shepherd lowered his head slightly as the thought crossed his mind, but then he smiled faintly, "Sigh~ Why bother with so much? I'm just an abandoned person in this celestial mirror."
As the shepherd's thoughts raced, Gu Changqing slowly rose to his feet. His black and white Taoist robe fluttered in the still air, and his eyes were filled with determination as he gazed at the boundless grassland in the distance.
The shepherd looked at Gu Changqing standing in front of him, and an indescribable feeling filled his body.
Although the person in front of him was still the same as before, the shepherd sensed that Gu Changqing's aura was different from before, and a very mysterious feeling rose from his soul.
It was as if he were facing not a living being, but a world, but this feeling vanished from the shepherd's soul the moment Gu Changqing looked at him.
"Shepherd, do you think you can come and go as you please?"
Upon hearing Gu Changqing's question, the shepherd snapped out of his reverie and slowly replied:
“Holy Emperor, I am a being born from this Heavenly Mirror. Unless this world is destroyed, I can only stay here forever.”
However, the shepherd noticed the royal tombs playing nearby, and as if remembering something, continued:
"However, this Imperial Mausoleum stock market crash can leave this world, but it requires your permission, Holy Emperor. Previous Holy Emperors were unwilling to bring this beast out."
With his hands behind his back, a mysterious aura flowed within his eyes as he slowly looked at the forbidden beast.
Whether or not this beast was brought here, we'll discuss that another day. My cultivation level has weakened somewhat, so I won't talk to you anymore.
Gu Changqing spoke these words with a cold expression, then activated the Dao Heaven Mirror and instantly disappeared from the shepherd's sight.
"Hehe, Little Imperial Mausoleum stock market crash, you guys can probably go out and have some fun this time. I hope the world still remembers you forbidden beasts."
The shepherd looked at the group of people surrounding him with doting eyes and couldn't help but say something.
Meanwhile, outside, Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes, feeling a mystical aura merging into his consciousness.
His cultivation level was also constantly improving, and the group of people standing behind Gu Changqing scattered and surrounded the black dragon when they saw that Gu Changqing was about to break through.
In the Divine Sea, Gu Changqing stood on this dark gray sea surface.
"I call it eternity, eternity is me, and I am eternity."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark gray ocean began to churn and surge, and streams of invisible power from heaven and earth flowed into Gu Changqing's body.
At this moment, Gu Changqing opened his eyes. The thunderclouds generated by the Heavenly Dao gathered above his head. Deep blue lightning was constantly gathering and condensing within the thunderclouds, as if it would fall at any moment.
