Chapter 807 - 298: Only Hate That Heaven Is Too Low, Bestowed the Tao Name [No Heaven]_2
The disciples of the Heavenly Saint Lake, their status, potential, and strength are comprehensively and intuitively referenced by—the location of their established dojo on the Holy Mountain.
The higher the position, the more invisible privileges one can enjoy, such as the colorful lake below, belonging to the "Wonders of All Realms."
As the fundamental support for this dojo standing firm for millions of years, the essence of this colorful lake is an energy vortex formed by high-energy matter collapsing and self-aggregating at the moment a large universe is destroyed.
In terms of pure and vast energy, it’s as if the bodies of countless Saints "Whale Fall," unceasingly nurturing the life above.
Ordinary Heavenly Kings are not qualified to extract energy from it; only martial artists of the Heavenly Venerable level, or those using special channels left by two Ancestor Masters, can extract various forms of primordial Qi, refining their Inner Heaven and Earth.
To use these special channels, one must either ascend to Heavenly King status or prove their potential to become one through the Heaven-Reaching Path ordeal to be approved to establish a dojo at a high position.
With the sound of this grand bell, a miraculous scene emerges; a stone stairway of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps cascades down from the mountain top, and someone begins ascending from the foot of the mountain.
With the ability of those present, they can see that it’s a young man, excessively young, with a surging martial intent boundlessly ascending, like a torrential river, or like a True Dragon walking through water, uninhibitedly flowing, bold and unrestrained, and invincible!
"That is..." Someone suddenly rises, eyes shining, having guessed the identity of the other party, sweeping away the previous complex expressions.
Heavenly Saint Lake can only bear six Dao lineages, each supporting a Heavenly King position; essentially there’s just enough world realm for them.
In a thousand words and ten thousand, the core issue is "can’t afford it."
Adding another who’s passed the Heaven-Reaching Path, with the potential to break through to Heavenly King status, isn’t good for them, as it means another competitor on the Heavenly King path.
However...
This person’s significance is completely different!
He doesn’t represent a pre-reserved Heavenly King position, but rather an advantage! It’s the advantage that Heavenly Saint Lake might occupy in the Great Universe!
The value of this is equivalent to countless Heavenly King positions!
"The Heaven-Reaching Path, nine hundred and ninety-nine steps; getting through three hundred and thirty-three steps guarantees a Heavenly King foundation. Doubling that gives a thirty percent chance increase, and nine hundred and ninety-nine layers... through the ages, only those who open the Way can achieve that!"
"Could it truly be the Kunpeng of our sect? After closing off in retreat, upon emerging has he already found the Dao Establishment within the Heart Image Realm, here to test the Dao Foundation?"
"This is grandstanding! It seems he truly is a Divine Prohibition, truly our Heavenly Saint Lake’s Kunpeng!"
"Hiss, the Ancestor Masters hid this too well! I really thought this Tian Qiu was a disciple from other factions in disguise!"
"Dong——"
The second bell tolled, and the discussions abruptly stopped. Only then did they realize, in just that time, Tian Qiu had already reached the three hundred thirty-third step!
Walking at a relaxed pace, disregarding the countless gazes behind him, his posture carefree, even the test at the three hundred and thirty-third step didn’t pause his steps for a moment!
After passing the three hundred and thirty-third step, his demeanor remained unchanged, continuously moving forward.
Anyone who’s walked the Heaven-Reaching Path, and experienced it firsthand, knows what this signifies.
"Dao Establishment! He absolutely already established the Dao! Heart Image Realm Dao Establishment, indeed worthy as a contemporary Divine Prohibition!"
"Our sect truly has a Kunpeng! Heh, the Heart Image Dao Establishment, even Fang Shoubai won’t easily claim victory in this battle!"
"Four hundred steps... five hundred steps..."
"Already reached six hundred! Six hundred... sixty-five!"
At this moment, the figure’s pace suddenly paused, seemingly constrained, gripping all the observers’ hearts.
Just as they thought Tian Qiu would pause for a moment, the figure unexpectedly stamped down, unrestrained, his martial intent poured down like a heavenly waterfall, resonating with the universe!
That overwhelming aura seemed to fill the heavens and earth, possessing an invincible momentum, domineering and unparalleled!
This moment, merely watching that back from afar, feeling his awe-inspiring martial intent, countless martial artists were excited, their spirits lifted.
"Such martial intent... how can it be so domineering?!"
"Crazy, this is Divine Prohibition?! Heart Image Realm, not even the six hundred sixty-six steps of the Heaven-Reaching Path can impede him?!"
As the third bell rang dramatically!
On the Heaven-Reaching Path, the figure crossed the six hundred sixty-sixth step, still maintaining an effortless demeanor, his martial intent roaring skyward, spectacularly grand, even Heavenly Persons were overshadowed.
"To nurture such tyrannical and wild martial intent, how could this person previously go unnoticed?!" Someone queried in confusion.
"Naturally, it was the two Ancestor Masters personally guiding him!"
"In terms of martial belief, the invincible momentum, our Heavenly Saint Lake’s Tian Qiu is absolutely not inferior to that Ji Jingqiu of the Great Universe!"
"Did you notice, even when he stepped into the last three hundred thirty layers, his pace hasn’t slowed at all, but instead grew faster!"
As the figure continued ascending, the Heaven-Reaching Path had barely anything left, continuing onward unhindered!
Under the eyes of numerous martial artists from Heavenly Saint Lake, the figure, before the final step, had a martial intent overshadowing countless Heavenly Persons, yet vanished without a trace.
It seemed to return to simplicity, refined and singular.
A distance across the Heaven-Reaching Path, they couldn’t glimpse the meaning within, but could see the person nearly leisurely crossing the nine hundred ninety-ninth step, even smoother than the six hundred sixty-six step.
For a moment.
Silence prevailed.
In the heavenly dome, the clouds roiled, pressing gently down; the Heavenly Will descended, even those who had long comprehended Unity of Heaven and Man or the various Heavenly Kings felt an overwhelming pressure!
The so-called Heavenly Will also depends on what "heaven" it is!
Amidst the clouds, a colossal head as large as a star emerged, eyes shining like the Great Sun, breathing in and out, guiding the birth and destruction of thunder; gradually revealing its form, with chest uncovered, its aura rampantly unrestrained, laughing and asking:
"Tian Qiu, the two Ancestor Masters ask you, the Heaven-Reaching Path of nine hundred ninety-nine steps, was it difficult?"
On the stone steps, the young man stood with hands behind, calmly replying in four words:
"It’s nothing, indeed."
The giant in the sky laughed heartily, laugh like thunder:
"Then why not go one step further?!"
Countless Heavenly Persons were shocked, nine hundred ninety-nine layers already equating to being an opener of the Way; Tian Qiu stepping on this tier with Heart Image Dao Establishment implies his transcendence is directed at the fundamental Dao of origins!
But to go one step further...
Standing on the stone steps, the figure hesitated not, stepping forward, yet as if encountering resistance from the azure sky, surrounding void, and the Heavenly intent Dao.
He slightly raised his head, eyes wild and uninhibited, lifting hand near the sun and moon, one palm flipping the heavens, evolving the end of All Phenomena!
With one palm, he shattered the space’s constraints, stood atop the clouds, galloped the azure sky and clear heavens, only lamenting the low skies.
"What an End of All Phenomena! Worthy of our lineage’s Kunpeng!"
A dignified voice descended from the heavenly dome,
"The Ancestor Master has declared, Tian Qiu found the root of Dao Establishment within the Heart Image realm and developed the Dao Establishment Divine Ability ’End of All Phenomena,’ talent astonishing, enlisted as a second-generation disciple, bestowed the Dao title ’Without Heaven’, entitled to the same treatment as a Heavenly King!"
In an instant, numerous disciples were either excited or stunned, some gasping on the spot or furrowing brows in shock or with eyes shifting uncertainly, uncertain what demeanor to adopt.
The Dao title Without Heaven?
Why this Dao title [Without Heaven]?!
Compared to this Dao title, the subsequent Heavenly King treatment is trivial!
"Who’s issued this Dao title?" Someone murmured tremulously.
The meaning implied by this Dao title is too immense, compelling them to fathom deeply.
Only because one of the two Heavenly Saint Lake’s Saints holds the Dao title [No Law]!
At present, their primary concern is determining which of the two Saints uttered this title, as the underlying significance vastly differs!
But at this moment, they cannot afford to ponder deeply.
Thus the announcement echoed through the Holy Mountain, spreading throughout thousands of floating islands nearby, transformed into the august Heavenly Sound, sequentially resonating across realms under Heavenly Saint Lake’s dominion, proclaiming to the world.
Countless disciples, Heavenly Persons, Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Saint Lake, even the Heavenly Venerables who guard a Great Realm, raised their heads, opened their eyes, gazing towards the Ancestral Land.
