Chapter 2319: Chapter 2264–2265: A Formidable Opponent, Demon God in Awe_2

The power of time-space taboo is almost their trump card, second only to the Witch God Sect’s Twelve Ancestral Witches returning to their positions and evolving the Twelve Capital Heavenly God Array.

But if the Twelve Capital Heavenly God Array is truly completed, with twelve Taoist Monarchs joining forces, such a powerful force would be unimaginable within the Realms of Heavenly Seas today, capable of sweeping away all enemies.

No divine formation is necessary. If a force could gather twelve Taoist Monarchs along with several veteran Taoist Monarchs, this could almost be called an invincible existence.

If the Witch God Sect really possessed such power, they wouldn’t need to meticulously plan anything. They could easily sweep across with grandeur, suppressing all opponents and enemies.

“The Five Immortal Paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost. Currently, in the Realms of Heavenly Seas, there’s only one who has proved all Five Immortals, and I even suspect that the other’s five immortal paths have all stepped into the True Immortal Ninth Layers of Realm,” said the Witch God Sect Leader with a complex tone.

The Five Immortal Paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost almost encompass all the current paths to becoming immortal in the Realms of Heavenly Seas, corresponding to the three essences of beings: Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Proving all Five Immortals implies Essence, Qi, and Spirit in perfection, meaning the other has no weaknesses or defects.

The interaction and mutual nourishment between Essence, Qi, and Spirit can produce unimaginable effects.

Pei Xuanjing proving all Five Immortals, his innate foundation stronger than theirs immeasurably, along with the numerous fortuitous opportunities he has received over the years, makes it impossible to gauge how far he has progressed.

However, the Witch God Sect Leader himself is a Taoist Monarch, a veteran Taoist Monarch. He’s well aware of his own realm. Given Pei Xuanjing’s talent, comprehension, and fortuitous opportunities, he predicts that the Five Immortal Paths he tread have each reached True Immortal Ninth Layer Heaven, without any exaggeration.

“True Immortal Ninth Layer Heaven, looking far into the Detachment Realm. With the other’s realm, if they’ve truly reached this step, it’s probably only a step away from Detachment, perhaps even touching the realm of Detachment,” Zhu Jiuyin also spoke with a complex expression.

True Immortal Ninth Layer Heaven, whether the initial entry into True Immortal First Layer Heaven or the Extreme Path True Immortal of the True Immortal Ninth Layers of Realm, are within the True Immortal category, limited by heaven and earth, dependent on them for survival.

Only by stepping beyond the True Immortal Ninth Layer Heaven can one truly reach the immortal and indestructible realm, the legendary state where heaven and earth decay, but I remain immortal; chaos perishes, but I remain indestructible.

At that time, even if heaven and earth turn to ruin and chaos reopens, such beings would remain unharmed, almost standing within the river of time, effortlessly traversing its waters, observing the endless cycles of world renewal and destruction.

Even if chaos tides surge, destroying countless worlds, such beings would still be unaffected, they travel freely amidst the chaos.

Reaching the Taoist Monarch realm, they are quite certain that heaven and earth have a lifespan, perhaps so long as to be unbelievable to True Immortals and Taoist Monarchs alike.

However, heaven and earth will eventually reach an ultimate lifespan limit. If they cannot continue to ascend and grow, heaven and earth will inevitably decline, becoming corrupt over time.

This means that even the gods in the Heavenly Court, who wield the authority of heaven and earth, conducting Tao on behalf of heaven and coexisting with it, are not truly eternal and indestructible.

If heaven and earth ever decay and perish, they too would perish alongside, with only a few able to escape intact.

This is the secret known by many Taoist Monarchs and some True Immortals, driving many Taoist Monarchs to relentlessly seek the possibility of Detachment, and many True Immortals to pursue proof of becoming a Taoist Monarch.

Even though strong Taoist Monarchs possess the authority of the Daoist rules, not restrained by a single world, and even if one world perishes, they can continue to exist and find another world.

But this also entails a loss for the Taoist Monarchs. Moreover, their long lifespans are enough to coexist with heaven and earth, calmly watching as it moves towards devastation. But what if one day, the chaos void perishes?

What will become of these Taoist Monarchs when chaos reopens? Can they truly be confident that they can withstand the continuous chaos tides, can they fend off the collapse of chaos?

According to numerous Taoist Monarchs’ speculations, the reenactment of chaos means the entire chaos would become turbulent, today’s tranquility would no longer exist, replaced by endless chaos tides.

Even now, the existence of chaos tides in the void of chaos is a terrifying state for Taoist Monarchs. It’s called a dead zone, a ferocious land in the chaos void. Not every Taoist Monarch can easily retreat unscathed once they step into it.

Moreover, even some veteran Taoist Monarchs and powerful Taoist Monarchs can tread lightly in chaos tides without interference, but they cannot cultivate or find peace within them.

If one day the entire chaos void turns into chaos tides, it would be a dead zone for Taoist Monarchs, and who knows how many eras it would take to traverse.

Only through Detachment!

Only by truly detaching oneself, becoming immortal and indestructible, can one walk freely in the chaos tides, even when they surge violently or the chaos void collapses.

Detachment is the ultimate goal pursued by all Taoist Monarchs in everything they do.

Like the Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch, Innate Demon God from ancient times, who seeks immortality and indestructibility from ancient times to the present.

In ancient times, Innate Demon Gods, even with authority over laws, born of heaven and earth, possessing long life spans, multitudinous yet not eternal, at least several hundred thousand years.

But why have they plotted painstakingly, laying plans now, if not to seek a truly immortal and indestructible opportunity.

Yet when they finally arrive in this era, even after ascending to the True Immortal and Taoist Monarch realms, they find that what they seek seems even further away; the more they know, the more they sense the difficulty of immortality and indestructibility.

Indeed, cultivation has a limit, but the Tao is boundless.

But even so, Zhu Jiuyin never gave up. He thought that relying on his Demon God foundation, he could go further, and even in a new era, he could swiftly rise to the pinnacle of the Tao era.

However, truly, talents emerge with each passing era, the new replaces the old.

Throughout this cultivation journey, relying on his own foundation, he quickly stepped into the Immortal Path and Taoist Monarch realm, only to discover he still couldn’t truly reach the peak levels, with many still ahead of him.

These people, who did not possess the accumulation of foundation like his, nonetheless seized the pulse of the era, with Qi Luck added, reaching the pinnacle in a short period, arriving at the position he longed for.

Pei Xuanjing, proving all Five Immortals, each Immortal Path reaching the True Immortal Ninth Layer Heaven, only a step away from Detachment Realm, possibly even touching the threshold of Detachment.

This speculation has lingered in Zhu Jiuyin’s heart many times, but even he doesn’t dare to easily believe in this possibility, for a proud and strong person like him fears confirming this news would damage his confidence.

Now, hearing that the Witch God Sect Leader shares the same speculation, Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch has extraordinarily complex thoughts, and proud as he is, even he has to admire Pei Xuanjing.

After all, if the opponent is only a step ahead, there’s still a chance to pursue, to see the other’s shadow, so naturally, there’s no need for excessive admiration, because you’re not inferior to the other.

But when you find that someone you once regarded as ordinary has, unbeknownst to you, surpassed you by miles, reaching a realm you can only yearn for but never attain, even envy can’t arise.
