Chapter 956: Accidentally Entering an Illusion, A Dangerous Situation
Editor: Henyee Translations

The realm of Dao Mastery involves finding a new Dao that is entirely under one’s control, based on the Dao that has already been fused.

This new Dao, derived from the Five Elements and the Cycle of Samsara, is fully mastered by Jiang Chengxuan.

At this moment, within the world of the Five Elements and the Cycle of Samsara, he weaves and searches for this nascent power of the Dao.

Under his control, the Dao of the Five Elements evolves to its extreme: the Dao of Fire transforms into celestial and terrestrial flames, capable of burning heavens and boiling seas.

The Dao of Water becomes tumultuous storms and waves, spreading a calming force to quell all ferocity.

The Dao of Earth raises mountains and islands from the seas, while the Dao of Wood turns into endless greenery, nourishing the land.

The Dao of Metal manifests as unique ores, born from the refinement of celestial and terrestrial fires and then sinking into the earth.

The interaction of the Five Elements, creating and overcoming each other, forms the entirety of the world, where the Dao of the Cycle of Samsara gradually becomes apparent.

All beings, undergoing the cycle of life and death, manifest this Dao, representing an eternal and supreme power.

Yet, for Jiang Chengxuan, this still feels insufficient. Despite the formidable power, these forces are still borrowed from this world and not truly his own.

He seeks a completely new Dao, born from his self-enlightenment.

With the Enlightenment Pill’s power, his understanding reaches its peak, and he continuously assails the bottleneck of Dao Mastery.

Amid the infinite transformations of the Five Elements and the Cycle of Samsara, his perception expands until it encompasses the entire world.

Billions of changes unfold in his mind, and for a moment, Jiang Chengxuan glimpses the end of the universe.

Stars collapse, worlds shatter, and infinite Dao are born from destruction, creating countless new beginnings.

This is what Jiang Chengxuan seeks: to break his own limits, to transcend the boundaries of this world and reach higher realms.

Having taken this first step, he does not relent but focuses more, using his Dharmic power to challenge the bottleneck, tackling it from both ends.

Over time, he persistently grinds against the bottleneck of the realm, mastering the myriad transformations within the world.

As time mercilessly passes in his secluded chamber, a moment comes when his mind suddenly opens wide.

The Dharmic power and aura that were restricted by the bottleneck finally improved again.

Seated in meditation, his body begins to absorb the primordial spirit qi around him like a whale consuming water.

This marks the second step of breaking through the realm: his body, already filled with power, starts to draw in more primordial spirit qi, signaling that a new domain is gradually opening up.

In fact, that was the case.

Under continuous assault, Jiang Chengxuan has begun to pry open the barrier to the Dao Mastery.

This means he has entered the quasi-Dao Mastery Realm, in terms of Dharmic power, now on par with cultivators of this realm.

The remaining breakthrough lies in the domain of the Dao rule itself, making this part of breaking through to Dao Mastery the most perilous.

The purpose of this seclusion was actually already half successful.

The breakthrough in Dharmic power nourishes Jiang Chengxuan’s sea of consciousness, opening mystical doors wide and granting him an unparalleled sense of transcendence.

After such prolonged enlightenment, he has deeply penetrated the mysteries of a primordial world that exists beyond the bounds of time and space.

This universe, a place not belonging to any specific time or space, encompasses the projections of all worlds, where all Dao, rules, and powers exist as constant transformations.

It resembles an unsolvable equation, where relentless calculation brings one closer to the most accurate result.

And this is exactly what Jiang Chengxuan has been doing.

Jiang Chengxuan never ceased his contemplation of the primordial world, witnessing every moment and the myriad transformations within it.

Each instance represented a rule, and with each, there was endless possibility.

With the breakthrough power, Jiang Chengxuan’s understanding expanded, allowing him to traverse the depths of the primordial world.

He witnessed the manifestation of countless Dao, where both the past and the future existed and did not exist simultaneously.

The same force could have different interpretations, and the same interpretation could be underpinned by different rules.

Immersed in this world of endless possibilities, Jiang Chengxuan felt as if he had seen and controlled everything.

Gradually, he seemed to merge into this vast universe, where Dao, rules, and everything else seemed meaningless.

The boundary between illusion and reality blurred to the point of seeming non-existent.

As Jiang Chengxuan delved deeper, reaching toward the end of the primordial world, possibly moving toward a new world, a sudden “buzz” from the system snapped him momentarily out of this profound state.

However, he was quickly pulled back into the void, continuing to sink.

This was undoubtedly an anomalous situation. Overpowered by various factors, Jiang Chengxuan had ventured too deeply into the primordial chaos, and his consciousness was being devoured by that world—a perilous moment indeed!

Meanwhile, in the real world outside his meditation chamber, Jiang Chengxuan’s physical body began to turn ethereal, as if it might disappear at any moment, struggling to maintain its existence in this realm.

This was a higher-dimensional world engulfing him, and if this continued, he would vanish completely.

But at this critical juncture, a box beside him shone brilliantly, emitting a force not of this world, which contended with the devouring power.

Then, a black, ethereal lotus rose and spun above Jiang Chengxuan’s head.

An arcane power emanated from it, protecting Jiang Chengxuan’s physical form.

This was the protective gift from Qin Shenwu, proving invaluable at this critical moment.

When momentarily awakened, Jiang Chengxuan realized something was amiss.

Thinking swiftly, he opened the box containing the Daoless Black Lotus.

Hence, this scene happened.

Now, two supreme forces from beyond the Floodgate Realm clashed over Jiang Chengxuan, both stemming from higher realms and tearing at each other instinctively.

Amid this struggle, Jiang Chengxuan began to regain consciousness.
