Although the Three Realms are not completely at peace, they are no longer in such chaos.
There is still a lot to be done.
Proving the Dao through force is too difficult. Jiang Liu felt that if he forced a breakthrough now, he would inevitably suffer the same fate as Pangu, becoming nourishment for the small world within his body, his body transforming into the universe, his left eye becoming the sun, his right eye the moon, his hands, feet, and torso becoming the four poles and five famous mountains of the earth, his blood becoming rivers, his veins becoming roads, his muscles becoming fields, and his hair becoming the stars in the sky.
So he continued his journey.
First stop, the world of The Great Ruler, preparing to seize the Heavenly Ranking and leave my mark.
Jiang Liu has been standing at the border between the Great Thousand World and the Demon Realm for over a month.
His path is incompatible with this world, so he must understand the rules of this world and ponder its principles in order to leave his name on the Heavenly Ranking.
He finally moved today.
Within that spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there seemed to be a trace of ineffable power, a power that was vast and boundless, possessing infinite pressure, as if it were the power of the world itself.
The moment Jiang Liu arrived, all the powerful figures in this world were alarmed and gathered together.
Now, dozens of powerful figures stand on that mountain, facing each other from afar.
The Green-Robed Sword Saint of the Sword Domain, the Undying Lord of the Land of Ten Thousand Tombs, Qin Tian of the Great Thousand Palace, the Western Heaven Battle Emperor of the Western Heaven Battle Hall, powerful figures from various races, even the rising star Martial Ancestor, as well as Medusa, Yun Yun, Green Robe, and Xiao Yan.
Medusa, Yun Yun, Green Robe, Xiao Yan, and other powerful figures who had ascended to the heavens were overjoyed when they saw Jiang Liu's face.
Jiang Liu raised his head and looked into the endless void. At this moment, he also vaguely felt a vast and boundless power descending and connecting with him.
The spiritual light, like hanging clouds, poured down from the sky, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. It gradually gathered together, and finally, everyone was shocked to see that in the void, there seemed to be an endless curtain of spiritual energy slowly appearing.
What is that?
Qin Tian, the Green-Robed Sword Saint, and other late-stage Saint-level beings stared in shock at the light screen that was slowly unfolding in the void. The light screen gave people a hazy and mysterious feeling, as if countless mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars were engraved on it, just like a world in itself.
A terrifying aura emanated from it, causing everyone's hearts to tremble slightly under its influence, filled with fear of that power.
Countless powerful figures looked up and stared at the mysterious light screen that descended from the sky. Their faces became extremely solemn at this moment, and someone said in a deep voice, "This is the world will of the Great Thousand Worlds."
The phrase "the world's will of the vast universe" sent a shiver down everyone's spine, their eyes gleaming with fervor. Was this the very thing that granted them the legendary opportunity to transcend to the highest level?
"The first person in my vast world to sense the will of the world was the Immortal Emperor. And he named this will of the world..."
"The Heavenly Ranking"
All the Heavenly Sovereigns on the "Azure Sky Ranking" were deeply moved, because when they heard these three words, it was as if an indescribable power imprinted them on the deepest part of their hearts, giving them an ultimate pursuit.
"Using the world as a benchmark, as long as one can imprint their true name on the will of this world, they will gain the recognition of the Great Thousand Worlds and control the power of the Great Thousand Worlds," the Martial Ancestor said slowly.
Everyone felt a slight tremor in their hearts, raised their heads, their eyes focused with spiritual light, and gazed with a hint of awe at the boundless, mysterious light screen, or rather, the "Sky Ranking".
"That extraterrestrial demon, does that mean we can't let him seize the Heavenly Ranking?"
"Stop him"
But no one could get close to the river; though it was right in front of them, it was also far away.
Between Jiang Liu and this group of powerful figures who dominate the world, there is a long river of time that no one can cross.
All the powerful figures were horrified.
They could only watch helplessly as Jiang Liu summoned the Sky Ranking.
The Heavenly Ranking was shrouded in mystery, difficult to fathom, but upon closer inspection, everyone finally saw that in one spot on the ranking, a glimmer of spiritual light condensed, and gradually an ancient character emerged.
"leaf"
"What does Ye mean by this?" Qin Tian and the others' eyes narrowed.
"Ye is the surname of the Immortal Emperor," the Undying Lord said, his voice trembling.
"That's right, this is the surname of the Immortal Emperor. In ancient times, he sensed the world will of the Great Thousand Worlds and triggered the descent of the Heavenly Ranking. Subsequently, his surname was left on the Heavenly Ranking."
The Martial Ancestor nodded slightly and said softly, "It's a pity that the Immortal Emperor was also unable to leave his complete true name on the Sky Ranking. He only left his surname. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to sacrifice his life to seal this Heavenly Evil God."
The crowd gasped in astonishment, finally understanding. It turned out that the so-called "sacred item" required sensing the will of the world, activating the Celestial Ranking, and leaving one's true name upon it. Once the imprint was complete, one could control the power of the world and transcend the sacred item level.
"Even the Immortal Emperor only left his surname on this Sky Ranking back then!" Everyone gasped. Even an existence as powerful as the Immortal Emperor could not leave his complete real name. This shows just how difficult it is to leave one's real name on this Sky Ranking.
Jiang Liu raised his hand and wrote in mid-air.
Boom!
On the Sky Ranking, there seemed to be a mysterious mist surging. The mist looked thin, but it possessed a mysterious power that could block everything.
"Open it for me!"
A furious shout resounded from Jiang Liu's mouth, shaking the void.
Buzz
The mysterious mist outside the Sky Ranking fluctuated violently, as if it were blocking the approach of external objects. However, as the power around Jiang Liu grew stronger and stronger, that barrier was finally broken through.
An indescribable sense of oppression erupted from the Sky Ranking, permeating the heavens and earth.
Under this pressure, all the Heavenly Sovereigns, even those at the late-stage Saint Rank like Qin Tian, underwent a drastic change in expression. They found themselves unable to move even a finger under this pressure.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth trembled. Under the watchful eyes of countless tense people, spiritual light flashed like sparks on the Sky Ranking. Every stroke seemed to be completed with ease, but everyone knew how difficult it was.
Jiang Liu's task of leaving his name on the Heavenly Ranking was far more difficult than that of the people in this world. However, as Jiang Liu moved his fingertips, everyone was shocked to see that mysterious power began to gather on the ancient Heavenly Ranking, and with the last stroke, it gradually took shape.
Finally, as the strokes ceased, a tremendous power swept outwards.
River
flow
Buzz
In that instant, it was as if a ripple spread from the Sky Ranking and then throughout the entire Great Thousand World.
At this moment, all living beings in the vast world heard an ancient sound wave resonating in their ears.
Time flows like a great river, ceaselessly rushing on. It flows on like a river, never ceasing day or night.
An ancient, unbroken river of time merged into Jiang Liu's body, leaving his name on the Heavenly Ranking, and thus he came into control of the world's power.
"Not enough, not enough, let's continue in the next world."
He traversed countless realms and rivers, seeking a path to prove the Dao through force without transforming his body into the vast universe.
The road is ahead, and one day it will be cleared.
The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit of truth. This is the path of seeking the Way.
On Earth in the "Dragon and Snake" world, Jiang Liu, Ba Liming, Wang Chao, and their group set off.
Beyond Earth lies the starry sky; beyond the starry sky lies the myriad realms; beyond the myriad realms lies chaos; beyond chaos lies a prison. And what lies beyond the prison?
This world of "stars" is truly vast.
That's how the world is, layer upon layer, without end. This is the true meaning of infinity. If you think it's infinite, then it is infinite; if you think it's illusory, then it is illusory.
Everything changes as you wish.
Everything is both real and illusory.
They reached the core of the prison and saw an endless, deep, and infinitely long rift. The rift, whose origin was unknown, led to a mysterious and unpredictable world. The depths of that world were unlike any other world they had ever seen. It seemed to be a sacred place, or perhaps a truly higher-level world, filled with an aura of mystery.
A single thought gives rise to all things, a single thought creates all things, a single thought can turn the world upside down, a single thought can stop the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed in the world of Journey to the West.
With peace restored to the world, the turmoil in the Three Realms of Journey to the West has finally subsided, and no one in the myriad realms dares to easily set foot in this world again, let alone invade it.
Powerful extraterrestrial beings occasionally break in, but they are nothing more than turned to ashes.
Thirty years ago, a lord of the universe, whose power was no less than that of a saint, invaded the Three Realms. But when Jiang Liu opened his mouth, everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene: Jiang Liu swallowed the invader and his entire army whole in one gulp.
I ate it in one bite.
That battle was surprisingly simple.
Yet it is so profound.
Throughout the entire Three Realms, no one can understand or comprehend Jiang Liu's current power.
However, everyone knows that Jiang Liu has now become an eternal legend.
He once traveled back in time to the world of "Covering the Sky" to find his "brother" for the ruthless man, without changing the future.
He once sat and discussed the Dao with the Desolate Heavenly Emperor at his peak. He watched as the emperor's body transformed into billions of drops of blood, falling over countless ages, undergoing the tempering of countless time and space, and being baptized by the long river of time. He transformed into eternity, he transformed into freedom, reunited his true body, and stepped into the realm of the Immortal Emperor.
Having once entered the world of "immortality," I comprehended the Three Thousand Great Daos, effortlessly wielding the Great Destiny Technique, the Great Cause and Effect Technique, the Great Wish Technique, and the Great Reincarnation Technique. I severed all ties and attained the state of eternal freedom and eternity.
Once, in the "Star River" world, he traversed the prison and the chaos within and without with Ba Liming, Wang Chao, and others, reaching the final realm, an inconceivable realm, transcending the prison, truly omniscient and omnipotent, creating something from nothing, invincible and supreme, ineffable, inconceivable, inexpressible, inconceivable, unattainable, unpossessable, unlivable, unretainable, unstayable, uncoming, undestructable, indestructible, and indestructible.
He once became the master of the universe;
I once walked through an endless abyss;
Once a demon, a god, an immortal, and a Buddha
Seek the Way everywhere, and cultivate the Dharma to its fullest extent.
However, today the river has returned to its natural state, quietly watching the stream on Zhongnan Mountain, always looking towards the other side.
Then the person began to disappear, vanishing into thin air.
Immediately afterwards, with Zhongnan Mountain as the center, the Three Realms vanished from the myriad worlds.
The small world within the river was already incredibly vast, with the Three Realms of Journey to the West merging into it. Then, the void trembled, and several worlds merged together.
Several people suddenly appeared beside Jiang Liu, including Hong Yi, Ba Liming, the Great Emperor Wushi, the Desolate Emperor, and Xiao Yan. They bowed slightly to him and said, "Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."
"I'll go first," Hong Yi said, taking that step immediately.
"My grand vision is for all living beings to become like dragons, to transcend to the other shore. No amount of power is enough for such a grand vision. And no amount of power is too much—the final step to fulfill this grand vision."
The Yangshen World was connected to it by Hong Yi using the power of the Other Shore, forming the same world.
"My turn! Martial Dao is immortal, strip away!" Ba Liming released endless martial Dao energy, which actually traversed the void and gathered here, transforming into the "Martial Dao River".
As the long river appeared, the aura of all martial artists permeated into it, and the river grew stronger in an instant.
There are too many people who practice martial arts among all living beings.
What constitutes martial arts? It is characterized by youthful vigor, unwavering determination, overcoming obstacles, decisive action, courage and diligence, a thirst for justice, unwavering righteousness, dedication to the country and its people, concern for the common people, selflessness, and a willingness to die for one's cause.
A martial artist is bold and courageous, and keeps his promises with a clear conscience.
