Metaverse.

Counting from the merger of the first Innate Great World and the Metaverse, 17,000 years have passed, and there are only 1,000 years left before the Dao Fruit is captured.

In more than 17,000 years, a total of one hundred and six innate worlds merged with the Metaverse to form a vast and boundless world. Now, the Ancient Earth Realm has not appeared.

The arrival of every innate world brought a group of powerful Heavenly Venerables, brought a vast territory, and at the same time brought extremely tragic killings.

The tragic battle caused a large number of Venerables and Heavenly Venerables to fall, and even the Supreme began to fall, because after the merger of the Innate Great World, the Great Dao has changed, and the Supreme is not immortal and immortal.

In this kind of world of great contention, the eighth step Heavenly Venerable is nothing, and even if it is the Supreme, his influence has become limited. As a result, the Heavenly Venerables have joined the big forces, and even the Supreme Ones have made a choice to join the super big forces.

Taichu Sect, Psychic Sect, Shenyuan Sect, Baizun Alliance, Dragon Clan, Feng Clan, and Taoism, these are the seven super forces in the Metaverse. The alien Tianzun constantly joined the seven super forces, which made the seven super forces even stronger.

Now, the entire Metaverse is divided into forty-two regions, and the territory of each region has reached hundreds of billions of billions of miles. These forty-two regions are undoubtedly occupied by seven superpowers. Among them, the Taichu Sect and the Psychic Sect were the most powerful, occupying ten regions each. The Nine Venerable Alliance is second, occupying nine regions. Dragons have a large area of the sea and have a natural advantage in terms of territory, they occupy six areas. The strength of the Phoenix Clan is not weaker than that of the Dragon Clan, but they cannot occupy the sea surface, they can only find a way to occupy the land, and after countless battles, they occupy four areas. As for Taoism, it occupies three areas.

Biye Island.

After more than 10,000 years of development, the area of Biye Island has expanded 10,000 times and has become the center of Taoism.

When Taoism was founded, there was only one supreme sect, Zhang Ye, although it could be called a big force, but compared with the supreme religion such as the Taichu Sect, it was very shabby.

After the merger of the Innate Great World, the Jade True Tianzun, Chaos Jade Ruyi, and Red Apricot Divine Tree of the Ancient Jade Realm took the lead in joining Taoism, which made the supreme of Taoism reach four. Next, the innate great world has arrived one after another, and the supreme has joined one after another, and now, the supreme of Taoism has reached thirty-three, and the eighth step Tianzun has exceeded three hundred, becoming one of the seven super forces.

Although there are more and more supremes, Zhang Ye is still the only sect leader.

The reason is very simple, Zhang Ye is the founder of Taoism and the person who has comprehended the Great Dao of Chaos. Not only does it have strong combat power, but it also has potential that other supremes can't match.

However, in Taoism recently, there are more and more people who are dissatisfied with Zhang Ye.

The reason is simple.

Since the merger of Zhang Ye's Innate World, Zhang Ye has been meditating in Biye Island, and has never taken a step, let alone made a move.

The elders and disciples of Taoism were desperately killing and grabbing territory outside, and Zhang Ye, who was the leader of the sect, actually cowered on Biye Island, which made many elders and disciples dissatisfied.

Some elders were already secretly doubting Zhang Ye's strength.

Some disciples are already secretly complaining, they think that if Zhang Ye takes the lead, the territory that Taoism has seized will definitely be more than three areas.

Regarding the dissatisfaction of the elders and disciples, Zhang Ye naturally knew about it. However, Zhang Ye didn't pay attention to it, he was still waiting in the cave mansion, and he would not appear easily.

The affairs in Taoism, Zhang Ye has already been assigned, even if he retreats for many years, it will not affect the operation of Taoism.

In the cave.

Zhang Ye sat quietly.

Although he was only a clone of his strength, he did not give up his cultivation. For more than 17,000 years, he has continued to gain the perception of the deity, and his strength has been constantly improving.

Zhang Ye estimated that if he fought Mengyuan Tianzun again, he could easily kill Mengyuan Tianzun. Although, he is just a doppelganger of power.

"Buzz!"

There was a fluctuation outside the cave.

This fluctuation was obviously deliberately sent out to attract Zhang Ye's attention.

Zhang Ye shook his head slightly, he didn't need to sense it at all, he knew the identity of the person who came.

Zhang Ye said, "Come in." ”

"Master!"

Yun Yanke and Mo Hatian arrived together, and then entered the Zhangye Cave Mansion. More than 17,000 years have passed, and the cultivation of the two has reached the early stage of the eighth step. This kind of cultivation speed is enough to make any Heavenly Son and Heavenly Maiden desperate.

Yun Yanke and Mo Hatian were angry, and there was a faint murderous intent on their bodies.

Zhang Ye smiled dumbly and said, "You two, why are you so angry?"

Mo Hatian clenched his fists tightly and said, "Master, there are some guys in the sect who make irresponsible remarks about you and say some unpleasant things. I really want to kill them. ”

Zhang Ye said calmly: "They are talking about me, I am not worthy of being the sect leader." He also said that my strength is the weakest supreme in Taoism. Some people say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and I dare not go outside to fight. I already knew that. ”

Don't be stunned, and Yunyanke is also stunned. Neither of them could understand it in their hearts.

Yun Yanke said indignantly: "Master, these people are talking nonsense, which has greatly affected your prestige. The disciple planned to execute a group of people to shock them. Otherwise, if this continues, people's hearts will be unstable. The elders in our sect will all run away to other superpowers. ”

Zhang Ye said: "You don't have to pay attention to it. If they want to say it, let them say it. ”

Yun Yanke couldn't understand it anymore and said, "Why?"

Zhang Ye said: "There is no need. ”

Zhang Ye has not made a move during this time for two reasons. First of all, the deity is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it is getting closer and closer to that last step. In this case, Zhang Ye did not have the slightest interest in Dao Guo. The second reason is that every once in a while, the deity will withdraw from chaos. And every time you exit the chaos, some insights will come to you. Zhang Ye spent all his time on these feelings, where was there any interest in making a move.

The above is also the reason why Zhang Ye ignores the outside discussions.

He was so engrossed in understanding that he didn't have time to pay attention to the outside discussions.

Zhang Ye looked at Yun Yanke and Mo Hatian, and said slowly: "There is still a thousand years before the Dao Fruit Dispute. During this time, the two of you can just do what you are meant to be. ”

Yun Yanke and Mo Hatian are his disciples, and it is certainly a good thing that the two of them can win the Dao Fruit. If they can't capture the Dao Fruit, it won't be difficult for Zhang Ye to take two for them. Besides, the deity is likely to take the final step, and if it succeeds, there will be no need for any Dao fruit at all.

Zhang Ye now has enough means to save the lives of the two.

Therefore, Zhang Ye said that let the two of them act according to their hearts.

Yun Yanke and Mo Hatian were a little dazed.

Zhang Ye didn't explain, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the two out of the cave.

The two disciples went out, and the cave was calm again.

Zhang Ye sat silently.

Like waiting for something.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the cave trembled slightly.

Zhang Ye opened his eyes and saw that in the void, a huge and incomparably large world appeared. This world is the one hundred and eight innate great worlds, the second ranked Ancient Earth Realm.

Zhang Ye smiled slightly and said, "It's finally here." ”

"Buzz!"

As soon as Zhang Ye's voice fell, three rays of light flew out of the Ancient Earth Realm. As soon as these three rays of light flew out of the realm, they immediately came towards Biye Island.

Zhang Ye got up and greeted him.

The one who came was an old man with a fairy wind and bones, a dignified and majestic middle-aged man, and a domineering young man. The three of them all have an indescribable aura, this aura has an eternal charm, and judging from the aura, they are even more powerful than ordinary supremes.

The old man's gaze fell on Zhang Ye and said, "I am a moral celestial." ”

He pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "This is the Yuan Shi Tianzun." ”

Finally, he pointed at the young man and said, "This is Lingbao Tianzun." ”

Zhang Ye saluted to the three supremes, and then said to Daode Tianzun: "Daoist friends are finally here. ”

With the ascension of the realm, Zhang Ye's understanding of the way of cause and effect is more and more. He knew that he had not traveled to the wilderness for no reason. The one who sent his soul to the wilderness was the Daode Tianzun in front of him. A crossing, a "Tao Te Ching", changed the fate of Zhang Ye. Without Daode Tianzun, there would be no today's chapter leaves.

Daode Tianzun has a great kindness to him.

Therefore, Zhang Ye will be respectful in the face of Daode Tianzun.

Daode Tianzun's gaze fell on Zhang Ye, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Daoist friends have great luck, great wisdom, and great magical powers. Unexpectedly, Daoyou has come to this point!"

Yuan Shi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun looked at Zhang Ye, and their eyes also flashed with surprise.

Zhang Ye introduced the three of them into the cave mansion and decided according to the guests and hosts.

Zhang Ye's gaze fell on Daode Tianzun, and he said respectfully: "I have doubts in my heart, and I also ask Daoist friends to explain one or two." ”

Daode Tianzun smiled and said, "The doubts in your heart, the first is why I sent your soul to the wild world. The second is the aura on my body, why it is different from ordinary supremes. Right?"

Zhang Ye nodded.

Daode Tianzun didn't answer directly, and said, "Daoist Zhang Ye, you should know that if you take the last step, you will be able to attain the position of a saint. But, you may not know, saints can also be divided into three types. ”

Zhang Yedeng was moved and said, "Could it be that Daoist friends have already taken the last step and attained the position of a saint?"

Daode Tianzun nodded.

Zhang Ye gasped. However, he was even more puzzled. It stands to reason that the saint will be much more powerful than the supreme, but judging from the breath, the Daode Tianzun is not as powerful as he imagined.

Daode Tianzun seemed to see Zhang Ye's thoughts, and said slowly: "As I just said, saints can be divided into three types. The first type of saint is sanctified in his own world and invincible in his own world. I am a saint of the Earth Realm, invincible within the Earth Realm, and can even enter the edge of chaos from the Earth Realm. But in other innate worlds, it is not invincible. Now that the Earth Realm has been merged into the Metaverse Realm, I am only a little stronger than the Supreme. ”

Zhang Ye suddenly.

From the perspective of the Chaos Divine Tree, every innate great world is actually a fruit. Daode Tianzun is invincible in the fruit he was born in, but in other fruits, he is not invincible. In other words, his invincibility has a limit.

Soon, another question came to Zhang Ye's mind, and Zhang Ye said: "The Metaverse is the first innate world, and the earth realm is the second innate world. However, now in the Metaverse, no one has become holy. But there are saints in your realm, why is that?"

Daode Tianzun said, "It's very simple. Because when heaven and earth were born, in the nine fragments of chaos, they fell into the earth realm. We have obtained the fragments of Chaos, and after countless years of enlightenment, we have realized some of the secrets of Chaos. He also saved great merits, was favored by heaven and earth, and finally realized the Great Dao and became a saint. ”

Zhang Ye understood.

Daode Tianzun continued: "The second type of saint is also known as the Heavenly Dao saint. This kind of saint is invincible in his own world, and he is also invincible in other innate worlds. In other words, the first type of saint can only rule one innate world. And the second type of saint, that is, the Heavenly Dao saint, can rule over all the innate worlds, and is the spokesperson of the Chaos Divine Tree. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ye suddenly understood.

Daode Tianzun is the first kind of saint, and he can only rule over one innate world. So, he wanted to be a saint of the second kind. There are several ways to become a second type of saint. One way is to continue to understand the secrets of Chaos, but the problem is that the Chaos Fragments can no longer give them more insight. And they can only enter the edge of chaos, and cannot go deep into chaos, so they cannot continue to understand the secrets of chaos. The other way is to accumulate great merit and get recognized by the Chaos Divine Tree to become a second type of saint.

What Daode Tianzun chose was the second method. He secretly took action and sent people who knew the Tao Te Ching to other great worlds to educate sentient beings and strengthen the Taoist system, so as to accumulate merit. It was under this circumstance that Zhang Ye was sent to the wild world by Daode Tianzun. It's just that Zhang Ye's achievements far exceeded the expectations of Daode Tianzun.

Zhang Ye slowly spoke up and said, "Fellow Daoist, I owe you a cause and effect. Now that the Dao Fruit is about to be born, I will capture a Dao Fruit for my fellow Daoists. ”

Although the purpose of Daode Tianzun's action was to accumulate merit, his cultivation of Zhang Ye was real. Since he owes cause and effect, Zhang Ye also expressed his position happily, ready to repay cause and effect with Dao fruit.

Daode Tianzun smiled slightly, he was not polite, and said, "I'm tired of Daoyou." ”

Originally, he wanted to become a Heavenly Dao saint through the method of accumulating merits. But the great calamity is imminent, and merit is no longer useful. Now, Dao fruit is king. His own strength is very strong, and he has the hope of winning a Great Dao Fruit. If Zhang Ye also captures one for him, he can have two Great Dao Fruits. With the two Great Dao Fruits in hand, even if you can't become a Heavenly Dao Saint, you can still overpower other Saints.

Zhang Ye's doubts were answered, and his thoughts were clear. And Daode Tianzun got Zhang Ye's promise, and his mood was also excellent. At present, the four of them are in the cave and have been talking about the Tao for decades.

After the end of the Dao, the three Heavenly Venerables directly joined the Taoism. In this way, the supreme of Taoism has reached thirty-six.

Although the power of Taoism is strong again, it is still the weakest one among the seven super forces. Some super-forces have already set their sights on Taoism-
