In the original Four Heavenly Sacred Domains, there was no concept of the Dao End Realm; the final realm was the Dao Refining Realm, and there was no distinction between the Beginning Realm and the Dao End Realm.
The "path to the end of the Dao" has never been a real realm, but rather a conjecture by predecessors about the realm after the initial stage. No one has ever truly broken through to the "path to the end of the Dao".
Then, the first Heavenly Venerable appeared in the Four Heavenly Sacred Domains, who was the Ancient Heavenly Venerable at the Ancient Heavenly Realm.
Subsequently, the Supreme Celestial Venerable and the Spirit Celestial Venerable, imitating the Ancient Celestial Venerable, successfully merged into the Celestial Realm, thus creating the Three Celestial Venerables known to all.
Originally, the Desolate Heaven Empress had the opportunity to become the Desolate Heavenly Venerable ten thousand years ago, but she was killed by Ye Xuan and Su Tong, which has left the Desolate Heaven Realm without a Heavenly Venerable to this day.
The achievements of the Three Venerables led people to believe that after reaching the Heavenly Realm, one would reach the ultimate state of Dao, and the Three Venerables did not refute this statement.
However, General Zhiyang, who was a confidant of the Supreme Celestial Venerable, knew far more than ordinary people.
The Celestial Venerable is not the end of the Dao!
Once they leave the Heavenly Realm that suits them, they are merely a slightly stronger starting point. Even when they are in their own Heavenly Realm, they are only becoming stronger by using the power of the Heavenly Realm, not by their own power.
Moreover, the limitations of the Heavenly Realm almost completely cut off their path to truly breaking through to the end of the Dao.
Even so, the path to the Heavenly Realm has attracted countless beginners. However, those who wish to reach the Heavenly Realm must be native beings of the Heavenly Realm. Since the other three Heavenly Realms already have Heavenly Venerables, almost no one can reach the Heavenly Realm again.
Therefore, for other celestial realms, the beginning is also the end.
As for the so-called end of the Dao, even the Supreme Yang General couldn't figure it out at all, and could even sense that the path ahead was completely cut off.
But now, seeing this Desolate Star Emperor has reignited his extinguished heart!
Zhou Xingdou was certainly not at the end of the Dao; in fact, his realm was only at the peak of the beginning, perhaps even inferior to the Heavenly Venerable.
Unfortunately, the Dao Realm he cultivated was so powerful that even the so-called Heavenly Venerables, let alone the peak of the Supreme Yang Realm, would be completely confused by him.
It was a wonderful misunderstanding. Zhou Xingdou naturally had no idea what Zhiyang was thinking, but he felt that Zhiyang's emotions were a bit strange.
Although everyone was having a lot of internal monologues, not a single person spoke; the hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Regardless of what Zhiyang was thinking, Zhou Xingdou and the others heard words of congratulations from Zhitianzun. Zhou Xingdou was too lazy to reply to such remarks and simply looked at him indifferently.
The utterly silent hall brought Zhiyang back to his senses. Looking at the giant spirit god glaring at him with hostility, he immediately spoke again:
"There is another matter, which is that the Celestial Venerable asked me to come and check on the matter of that great demon."
"Big Demon?"
Zhou Xingdou flicked his fingers. If he wasn't mistaken, the great demon that Zhiyang was talking about should be the demon king that he had killed.
Empress Huangtian suddenly spoke up and asked:
"What exactly is that great demon? Why is it sealed beneath the Imperial Palace?!"
Zhou Xingdou did not tell her anything about demons, and she had never heard of any great demons before ten thousand years ago, let alone have someone seal it under the imperial palace. This could only have happened after her death and before her resurrection.
Upon hearing this, Zhiyang realized that the Desolate Empress was unaware of the Great Demon, so he explained:
"That great demon was something that escaped from the Demon Abyss. It could not be killed and was extremely dangerous. At that time, even the Celestial Venerable had no way to deal with them and could only seal them with the power of the Celestial Realm."
"At that time, a total of four escaped. One invaded one of the Heavenly Realms, while the other three Heavenly Realms were suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Realm and were safe."
However, since there was no Heavenly Venerable in the Desolate Heaven, the Three Heavenly Venerables were forced to leave the Heavenly Realm and borrow its power to suppress it. They then sealed it with the fortune of the Desolate Heavenly Dynasty, thus placing it beneath the Imperial Palace.
Empress Huangtian nodded, then asked:
"What is the Abyss of Demons?"
Zhiyang Jiang also explained again:
"Five thousand years ago, a deep abyss suddenly appeared in the center of the Four Heavenly Realms. The abyss was filled with strange power, and even those who entered it would die. However, after the great demon escaped from it, it was sealed by the three Heavenly Venerables."
"Because so much time has passed, apart from a few individuals at the Initial Realm and the three Heavenly Venerables, almost no one knows about it anymore."
At this moment, Stephen Chow suddenly spoke up:
"So, the other celestial realms still have three great demons sealed away?"
Zhou Xingdou's heart stirred slightly. In his eyes, these were not three great demons, but 600,000 luck points!
Zhiyang did not hide anything:
"Yes, those great demons cannot be killed, so they can only be sealed. This is why the Supreme Celestial Venerable sent me here to see if the great demons have been resealed and whether the seal is secure."
Empress Huangtian then sneered:
"Then you've made a wasted trip. That great demon wasn't sealed away; he's already been killed by my husband."
"What!"
Zhiyang exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening.
Even if Zhiyang suspected that Zhou Xingdou was a true Dao End Realm expert, he did not believe that the Great Demon had been killed, but only thought that he had been resealed by Zhou Xingdou.
After all, he had witnessed it with his own eyes and fought against that great demon, so it was hard to imagine that such a great demon could be killed.
Thinking of this, he looked at Zhou Xingdou on the throne, suddenly swallowed hard, and exclaimed in his heart, "Is this the true strength of the Dao End Realm?"
Even so, Zhiyang still spoke with some caution:
"Even if that great demon is seriously injured, it can recover instantly. Even a shred of flesh can be restored in an instant. Is Huang Tianfei really sure that it was killed, or that it took the opportunity to escape?"
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou's eyes surged with purple energy as he looked at Zhiyang Jiang with utter indifference and said:
"If I need it to die, it cannot live, much less escape."
Zhiyang now realized how impossible his statement was. If the great demon had escaped, how could it have remained hidden for so long given its regenerative abilities?
But then, a hint of fear crept into his reverent gaze as he looked at Zhou Xingdou.
Even the combined efforts of the three Celestial Venerables could not erase it; it was something that could only be sealed away, yet it was completely annihilated. How powerful this being must be!
This dispelled Zhiyang's last shred of doubt. In his current view, Zhou Xingdou was undoubtedly the true Dao End Realm expert!
This made him kneel down again:
"Zhiyang will pay his respects to the Great Venerable Daozhong."
Zhou Xingdou instantly understood why Zhiyang had been emotionally disoriented earlier; it turned out he was mistaking him for someone at the Dao End Realm.
He did not refute, but instead asked in return:
"I have not yet merged with the Heavenly Realm, so how can you be certain that I am the Dao End?"
Zhiyang didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Xingdou not knowing the true secrets of the He Shen Tian Jing. After all, how could a true Dao Zhong take that path?
"Star Emperor, you may not know this, but Celestial Venerable is merely a state, not a realm, much less the end of the Dao..."
Zhiyang revealed the greatest secrets of the Four Heavenly Sacred Domains all at once. In his view, it was not important to say these things, because even if he did not say them, this Dao Zhong powerhouse would understand when he met the three Heavenly Venerables.
