[A Dragon of the Heavenly Dao, with such an entity in his possession, what’s there to panic about? Once it’s fully matured, and able to steal from the Cosmic Source, even if it’s just a fraction, this little one would possess the qualifications to stand invincible across the world.

 

At that time, sitting on the Dragon and gazing down upon the stars will no longer be a mere dream for him.]

 

At that moment, as if sensing the gaze of the True Spirit, the Dragon of the Heavenly Dao suddenly turned its head and cast an indifferent glance at him from afar.

 

Then, it turned its gaze back to Yu Zi Yu’s True Body, deeply rooted in the Realm of Life.

 

*Rooooooaar…* Suddenly, it gave out a majestic roar, which echoed through the entirety of the Realm of Life.

 

Then, much to the astonishment of the True Spirit, the Dragon of the Heavenly Dao opened its mouth and exhaled. Immediately, innumerable emerald glowing wisps blew out of its mouth, flowing toward Yu Zi Yu’s True Body.

 

“Small…World…Heavenly…Dao…Insights…” muttering to himself, the True Spirit couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

 

This was the Dragon of the Heavenly Dao’s most precious ability,the power to bestow Heavenly Dao Insights upon another through a unique medium.

 

However, such a direct bestowal came at an immense cost.

 

Without a deep bond, a Dragon of the Heavenly Dao would never grant its insights so easily.

 

However, now, this Dragon of the Heavenly Dao was freely offering all of its insights to Yu Zi Yu.

 

That alone spoke volumes about their relationship.

 

“To think that it would disregard the cost and assist Yu Zi Yu in attaining Dao. The one I’ve chosen truly has boundless fortune.” The True Spirit heaved a long sigh, as he became increasingly convinced that this so-called Yu Zi Yu had a Heaven-defying fortune.

 

He had the Imperial Armament willingly following him. He possessed the Primordial Yin-Yang Well, the Phoenix-Blood Violet Metal mine, and was even the master of nine Small Worlds, each with the potential to ascend into a Great World. And last but not the least, he even had a Dragon of the Heavenly Dao aiding his ascension.

 

This was undoubtedly the bearing of an Eternal. He was a seedling with the prospect of attaining Eternity.

 

Of course, it was only a prospect, for across countless eons, innumerable prodigies had risen and fallen like fleeting waves. Countless among them had the potential to attain Eternity, yet never made it?

 

As for how many had actually succeeded? They were as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin Horns.

 

“I truly stumbled upon a treasure.” Smiling to himself, the True Spirit did not continue watching.

 

Instead, he turned and started heading in another direction.

 

At this moment, his confidence in Yu Zi Yu’s destiny had risen to a whole new level.

 

In fact, he was even considering whether to bestow some gifts upon him.

 

Of course, at this moment, Yu Zi Yu was completely unaware of the thoughts of the True Spirit.

 

Nor did he know that Azure Dragon’s emergence had left it so utterly astounded.

 

Compared to such concerns, Yu Zi Yu was completely focused on his True Body.

 

Having already reached the Harmony between Man and Heaven, the moment the Azure Dragon breathed the green wisps toward him, Yu Zi Yu attained enlightenment.

 

His mind expanded infinitely…

 

Vaguely, he seemed to have become the Nine Realms themselves.

 

He saw the rise and fall of the grasslands.

 

He saw the cascading flow of waterfalls.

 

He saw the flickering stars across the boundless cosmos.

 

And these were the Principles of the Nine Realms.

 

And now, thanks to the Azure Dragon Form, Yu Zi Yu’s true form seemed to transform into the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms, which allowed him to watch over the Myriad Races as they moved within his domain.

 

In simpler terms, Yu Zi Yu’s If one needed a more direct description, it would be that Yu Zi Yu’s State of Mind had ascended instantaneously, as though he had undergone an evolutionary transformation.

 

A true expert required profound accumulation.

 

Although this was the early stage of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, Primordial Spiritual Energy still lingered throughout the world, making cultivation speeds terrifyingly fast…

 

Without the profound accumulation over time, breakthroughs in later stages would still be increasingly difficult.

 

Though the constant birth of Tier-6 Overlords through the cosmos may say otherwise, they were only born due to the vast heritage their respective clans had gathered through epochs.

 

Take the Angel Clan, for example, in order to produce two Overlords, Seraphim and Michael, they had sacrificed half of the Well of Light’s accumulation.

 

Or the Titan Clan, to help the First Divine Pillar ascend to Tier-6, they had used a supreme treasure called Divine Quintessence.

 

Such was the reason for the sudden emergence of Tier-6 Overlords among these great Forces.

 

And this was the reason why the likes of Nine Tails, Golden Monkey, and Lightning Dragon in the Demon Court had yet to step into Tier-6, the lack of deep heritage.

 

Nonetheless, there was only so much someone’s heritage could play a role in one’s cultivation.

 

At the end of the day, cultivation depended on oneself.

 

Now, while many races had leveraged their heritage to produce these Tier-6 Overlords, without a profound accumulation, their Tier-6 Overlords found themselves stranded in the middle, unable to progress even an inch further for decades.

 

Certainly, cultivation naturally became harder at higher tiers, but the greater issue was still insufficient accumulation.

 

Yu Zi Yu, however, was different.

 

He had always been advancing, and even his State of Mind had never fallen behind.

 

With Evolution Points, he constantly entered States of Enlightenment, gaining deeper insights into the workings of the world.

 

And now, with his Azure Dragon Form, directly bestowing upon him its understanding of Heaven and Earth—

 

Yu Zi Yu’s State of Mind was soaring at an astonishing pace.

 

In a single breath, he grasped the workings of all things.

 

In a single breath, he felt as if a thousand years had passed.

 

Within just half a day, Yu Zi Yu seemed to have cultivated for thousands of years. His very expression exuded a profound sense of vicissitude.

 

Even his aura carried an indescribable profundity.

 

“What is Heaven? What is Earth? What is Heaven and Earth?” As he silently asked himself, Yu Zi Yu fell into deep contemplation.

 

For he could not answer.

 

There was no answer.

 

Some truths, once understood, transcend the need for words.

 

Language, in the end, was pale and insufficient.

 

Only in the depths of his Tree Form, his ever-deepening Crimson Heavenly Eye seemed to be silently whispering an unspeakable truth.

 

…

 

Meanwhile, what Yu Zi Yu did not know was that in the Kadar Star Domain, something entirely unexpected had occurred.

 

*Booooom…* A deafening explosion shook the world as a thousands of meter tall black mountain suddenly shattered into pieces, with waves of energy rippling outward.

 

Not far from the destroyed mountain, a proud and fearsome figure stood silently.

 

It resembled a Golden Ant standing upright, yet its presence carried a chilling, unmatched sharpness.

 

At a glance, it looked no different than a ferocious beast in Human skin, radiating unfathomable terror.

 

And now, this cold, golden figure slowly withdrew its fist before rebuking in an icy tone, “To think that a mere Heavenly Soldier Commander would dare to intrude into our Society of Demons and Fiends.”

 

As he spoke, Golden Ant cast a cold glance toward the deep recesses of the mountain, where a golden figure lay in ruins, his body mangled beyond recognition.

 

This Heavenly Soldier Commander was a powerful Intermediate-Stage Tier-5, yet he could not even manage to take a single punch from the golden figure.

 

And this was the Fifth Direfiend of the Society of Demons and Fiends, whose name shook the entire Kadar Star Domain, an entity whose power could shake the very Heavens, a being who possessed pure, terrifying might, the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ant.
