Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 1150 - 714: The Grand Finale (Part 2)

All had once achieved illustrious fame within the Great Abyss, leaving behind powerful Daoist Lineages.

Due to various reasons, they entered the Source Swamp, eventually falling into endless filth, with no hope of escape.

Tao Qian traversed through Secret Paths one after another!

It could be considered an experience.

At this moment, he could indeed understand the mental state of "Aunt Ma Yi", having lived for so long and witnessed so many worldly affairs, it was truly extraordinary.

Yet he had no time to lament, as his current situation was far from ideal.

Though he had the upper hand, he was still frequently pursued by some Evil Gods with special Divine Skills.

Even with a Dao Map in his mind, along with the guidance of the Haotian Divine Mirror and the Innate Universe Light Disc, Tao Qian nonetheless expended all his trump cards, especially the Power of the [Seven Treasures of Suppressing Evil], helping him to tread the path flatly.

Despite this, it took him several decades to finally reach the deepest part of the Source Swamp.

...

At this moment, after having undergone countless Transformations, a completely different Tao Qian stood at the endpoint of the Dao Map, calmly gazing at the endless void ahead.

The Ten Thousand Qi Heavenly Robe on him had become somewhat worn, and the Innate Universe Light Disc hanging at his waist showed multiple damages, clearly having terminated many Innate Universe Demons.

Even Lord Haotian, at this time, was uttering Dao sounds in a rather weary tone.

"Young Master, the Dao Path ends here."

"Ahead is likely that legendary [Source Nothingness]."

"Any existence entering it will become utterly lost and never return."

"And the way to supreme transcendence, also known as the Xuanpin Gate, is rumored to be at the deepest point of Source Nothingness."

"Yet throughout so many eras of the Great Abyss, no one has been heard of surpassing the Realm of Chaos to truly achieve great transcendence and Great Freedom, even the [Creation Ancestor God], who barely surpassed the three Daoist gods, perished in Source Nothingness, leaving only a mere shell as an avatar, guarding the Purple Cloud Palace."

The Haotian Divine Mirror revealed ancient secrets, but Tao Qian remained utterly unfazed.

Now, behind him was an endless sea of filth, constantly entangling and pursuing the Qi Mechanism on him, while ahead lay absolute void and darkness, with no Source Qi, no regulations, just absolute "Nothingness."

Even after decades of battling and rushing, even when on the verge of completely transcending the Tribulation Immortal Realm to achieve the [Realm of Chaos], Tao Qian did not dare to step out.

He had a hunch, as the Haotian Divine Mirror said, once entered, he would become lost, never to return, uncertain of life or death.

Watching, Tao Qian also glanced to his side, where in the corner of a Secret Path lay a strange corpse.

It was a member of the Human Clan!

To be precise, a woman.

She appeared to be extremely ancient, resembling a primitive, Barbaric Human, clad in leaves and animal skins, with abundant body hair, sitting cross-legged, as if having meditated to death here.

Her face showed a complex expression, both fearful and yearning, ultimately seeming like resigned surrender.

"Hmm?"

Tao Qian let out a sound of surprise, recognizing the origins of this Daoist.

It wasn't just him, even the Haotian Divine Mirror, the Innate Universe Light Disc, and Master Liu Yupu, who dwelled within Tao Qian, also recognized it.

At once a stranger, yet a familiar figure.

Tao Qian stepped forward and respectfully saluted, then said:

"Previously, I wondered why I hadn't encountered the true form of [Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor], unexpectedly this Ancestor senior passed away here at the end of the Dao Path."

"Judging by the naked appearance, it seems indeed to have attained the Dao."

"But having attained the Dao, why did they end up perishing here?"

As soon as he posed this question, it seemed to disturb something.

In the Secret Path, suddenly arose a series of strange, ancient Human Clan tongue sounds.

Hearing it, clearly ancient Human speech, Tao Qian was about to interpret, but his Master's sister-in-law within him translated first.

"I am the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Qi!"

"Having fused Ten Thousand Qi, mended the path of gods' cultivation, traveled across the heavens, ultimately reaching Tribulation Immortal."

"After many eras, the realization dawned that this world would eventually succumb to Chaos and Nirvana, thus I personally entered the Source Swamp, seeking great transcendence, Great Freedom, and a solution for this world."

"The Source Swamp, filthy and malevolent, trapped me for ten thousand years, ultimately yielding insight, dispatching all power along with my origin heritage back to the Great Abyss, thereby barely stepping into the Realm of Chaos."

"Originally, I should have followed several seniors to [Source Nothingness], entering the Xuanpin Gate."

"Yet unfortunately, being of the Human Clan of this world, I was inherently flawed, entering Source Nothingness meant certain death, with not even a glimmer of hope; thus, I sat here till the end of my lifespan, not daring to step forward."

"If any later ones belong to the Human Clan, they should be able to hear my Dao sound."

"I devoted my life to paving a path for the Human Clan, even after death."

"With my ashes, may you discover half the journey..."

As the last words fell, the corpse of the Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor seemed to have encountered some anomaly, shivering briefly before utterly transforming into a handful of pearly white ashes.

This transformation caused a change in Tao Qian's expression.

The cultivation history of this Human Ancestor was both grand and terrifying.

Along with the present scene, anyone would be in awe.

Even though the inherited teachings such as the "Ten Thousand Qi Great Method" caused boundless slaughter after falling into the hands of cultivators like the "Ancestor Dragon," compared to this Ancestor's merits, it seemed inconsequential.

Mortal Humans! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

All must pay reverence to this Ancestor.

Tao Qian sighed, then stepped forward to collect that handful of ashes.

He could tell, the Ten Thousand Qi Ancestor seemed to have gained some insight from peering into the [Xuanpin Gate] over countless years, and had infused these insights into the ashes, endowing them with some unfathomable "Extraordinary Power," perhaps usable for guidance within the Source Nothingness?

Just as Tao Qian was about to use the Record to explore the utility of the ashes, a sudden noise resembling the shattering of heaven and earth erupted from behind him.
