Jiang Che fused with the Supreme Dao Origin.
He directly mastered an entire Great Dao, achieving in one step what others spend lifetimes pursuing in the realm of the Supreme Dao!
The rules of the world became clearer and more visible to his eyes, granting him a feeling of near omniscience and omnipotence, though it lasted only for an instant.
His actual cultivation level hadn't increased much, but he had gained control of a terrifying ability!
He could now wield the power of the Supreme Dao's Great Dao Force.
Even though Jiang Che was merely a cultivator who had just entered the Nirvana stage, once he employed this Great Dao Force... even a Great Emperor would feel dread!
It was like a three or four-year-old child holding a gun... no, holding C4 explosives, needing only to press a button to cause an instant explosion. Who wouldn't be afraid of that?
Of course, Jiang Che's lifespan was also permanently extended, reaching a level of immortality. His lifespan became endless; after merging with the Dao... he would share the same longevity as the Great Dao itself.
"A pleasant sensation!"
Jiang Che lightly licked the corner of his mouth. No wonder so many people strived so hard to pursue the Great Dao Origin. So this was how it felt!
And at that very moment!
"Dang—"
A tremendous sound reverberated, seeming to shake the ears of every being across the Nine Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Simultaneously, every cultivator in all the Nine Heavens who followed the Supreme Great Dao felt a tremor in their spirit. Upon their respective Dao Fruits... they could vaguely see the illusory figure of a young man's back.
Standing proudly at the very pinnacle!
The one who had merged with the Dao!
Across the Nine Heavens and Myriad Realms, aside from the Evil Spirit Dao created by the Demon Emperor, there were exactly three thousand Great Daos!
Once a cultivator reaches a certain realm, they inevitably comprehend the laws of a Great Dao. All Dao techniques and rules must belong to one of these three thousand Great Daos!
It was as if there were three thousand pyramids in the world, with countless people flocking to them. Once someone chooses their pyramid, they can never change it. Their cultivation can be rebuilt, but their Dao cannot!
Those at the Creation Realm are in the middle of the pyramid, Paragon Emperors a bit higher, Great Emperors climb to the upper levels, Immortals are that small cluster at the pyramid's peak, and at the very apex lies the Great Dao Origin!
Whoever possesses the Great Dao Origin... holds command over the entire Great Dao!
Previously, although the Supreme Dao had been safeguarded by the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon, he was already dead at that time, so the peak of the Supreme Great Dao was unoccupied!
But now it was different. After Jiang Che merged with the Dao... every cultivator in the Nine Heavens who practiced the Supreme Dao saw that glimpse of Jiang Che's back.
...
"Someone has merged with a Dao!!!"
Powerful figures from countless Daoist sects and immortal clans across the Nine Heavens awoke one after another!
The Supreme Dao ranks among the top thirty of the three thousand Great Daos. In the Nine Heavens, the number of cultivators who have chosen to walk the Supreme Dao starts at least in the trillions, among them are no shortage of Great Emperors and even Immortals. Yet at this moment... they all felt the suppression emanating from the summit of the Great Dao.
"The Supreme Dao! Has someone merged with the Supreme Great Dao?"
"How is that possible? Didn't the Supreme Great Dao lack a Dao Master? The Ancestral Dragon who commanded the Supreme Dao died a million years ago!"
"This infuriates me! I have walked the Supreme Dao for a hundred thousand years and have now reached the level of a Second Tribulation Immortal... I was the one in the Nine Heavens most likely to gain recognition from the Supreme Great Dao Origin. And you're telling me the Great Dao Origin was fused by someone else? Who!!! Who is stronger than me?"
"Second Tribulation Immortal? Have you forgotten? Immortal Emperor Cangqiong also cultivates the Supreme Great Dao! I suspect the one who fused with the Great Dao Origin is Immortal Emperor Cangqiong!"
"Immortal Emperor Cangqiong? As far as I know... in the entire Nine Heavens over the last five hundred thousand years, only two have achieved immortality via the Supreme Dao. One is that Second Tribulation Supreme Demon Ancestor mentioned above, and the other is Immortal Emperor Cangqiong! Immortal Emperor Cangqiong is a Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperor..."
"Damn! That's incredible, Immortal Emperor Cangqiong has merged with the Dao!"
"The Cangqiong Immortal Palace is truly about to soar now, actually possessing a Dao-Merging level Immortal Emperor powerhouse! It seems the future of the Nine Heavens belongs to Cangqiong Immortal Palace!"
Soon, news spread throughout the Nine Heavens that Immortal Emperor Cangqiong had merged with the Dao.
After all, there weren't many Supreme Dao Immortal-level powerhouses. Currently, only two were alive: one at the Second Tribulation and the other at the Sixth Tribulation!
Even using process of elimination, the answer was clear.
As for Immortal Emperor Cangqiong himself...
[Ding! Host has framed Immortal Emperor Cangqiong, gaining 2 billion points.]
...
A vast lake, under a gloomy sky drizzling with rain, the lake surface rippled by falling droplets.
By the lakeside, a middle-aged man wearing a straw raincoat and bamboo hat sat on a rock, fishing.
However, the rainy weather seemed unfavorable, with no fish biting.
The middle-aged man's face was expressionless as he stared at the water.
The next second, a figure materialized beside him. "Immortal Lord, Holy Son Lin Yu requests an audience!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face finally showed a flicker of emotion.
He then set down his fishing rod and slowly stood up. The moment he rose, the surrounding space began to shatter piece by piece.
The idyllic landscape of mountains and water vanished in an instant, replaced by an endless purgatory. The sky cracked, the earth split, countless geysers of magma erupted from the ground, and heavenly thunder roared... instantly turning the area of millions of miles into scorched earth.
This was merely Immortal Emperor Cangqiong's personal minor world.
"Immortal Lord... the rumors outside say you have merged with a Dao?" the attendant asked with lowered eyes.
This attendant was remarkably also a Second Tribulation Immortal.
Immortal Emperor Cangqiong was seething with fury inside. He had advanced to the Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperor level tens of thousands of years ago. Now, all he needed was to find the Supreme Great Dao Origin. He was ten thousand percent confident he could successfully merge with the Dao, but no matter what, he couldn't locate the Supreme Dao Origin.
He had even searched the Dragon Palace inside and out, finding nothing!
In this world, who was more suitable to merge with the Dao than him, Immortal Emperor Cangqiong?
No one!!!
Yet now... someone had succeeded in merging with the Dao before him!
"The Supreme Demon Ancestor? That Second Tribulation Demon Immortal? Hmph... Could it be you who stole my Supreme Dao Fruit?" Immortal Emperor Cangqiong narrowed his eyes.
It was too easy to guess, because there were only two Supreme Dao Immortals!
The middle-aged man slowly began to calculate with his fingers, but soon shook his head. "It's not him!"
Yet the next moment, he still raised a finger!
He pointed a finger towards a certain direction. In the next instant, this finger traversed countless regions and arrived above a certain ancestral land in the Demon Realm.
The Supreme Demon Ancestor was also cursing his luck, silently blaming Immortal Emperor Cangqiong for seizing his opportunity. But the next second... an enormous, sky-spanning finger appeared above the entire Demon Ancestor's sacred ground!
"This!!! Immortal Emperor Cangqiong! You!!!"
There was no time to escape. The finger pressed down!
Hundreds of surrounding regions in the demon territory were instantly reduced to ruins in an instant, with casualties numbering in the trillions.
[Ding! Host has caused the death of the Supreme Demon Ancestor, gaining 500 million points.]
"Who is it! Who exactly stole this Emperor's Great Dao Origin!!! Don't let this Emperor catch you, or I will definitely tear you to pieces!!!"
The path Immortal Emperor Cangqiong walked was the Supreme Dao, a path of pressing forward relentlessly, invincible where he treads.
Since he first stepped onto the Supreme Dao, he had been the undisputed master within its domain!
But now, some unknown young man had stepped over his head and taken the Great Dao Origin that rightfully belonged to him.
Just as he was venting his rage, a voice transmitted into his ears.
"Master!"
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well!
