Chapter 553: The Great Liberation Technique! Attaining the Beyond Shore!

February 11, 2025

"Another path?"

Qin Zheng's expression stirred slightly.

"Another path," Tao Te Tianzun nodded gently, then, as if organizing his words, remained silent for a few breaths before speaking again. "The root cause of the changes in the Polluted Realm lies in the curse of the Ancient Clans."

"Any existence that comes into contact with the power of the Ancient Clans will be eroded by the Curse Power. To avoid this erosion, one must either possess the bloodline of the Ancient Clans or..."

"Avoid touching the power of the Ancient Clans altogether!"

There was a hint of gravity in Tao Te Tianzun's voice.

Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly at his words, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes. Avoiding contact with the power of the Ancient Clans was equivalent to confining oneself to the Beyond Shore Realm.

Even if one wasn't eroded by the Curse Power, in a polluted land where the Divine Ancient Realm and even the Divine Ancient Realm existed, there would be little difference from an ant, let alone the ability to struggle and resist.

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Tao Te Tianzun's voice continued, "Not touching the power of the Ancient Clans doesn't mean severing oneself and returning to the Beyond Shore."

Qin Zheng's gaze instantly sharpened.

"Before the fall of the Ancient Realm, all beings within it, including humans, could only reach the Beyond Shore Realm. The fundamental reason for this is that the Ancient Clans are inherently powerful, directly imprinting their clan's power onto the Universe Path."

"The path of evolution and advancement for all things has been forcibly distorted into the power realm of the Ancient Clans. Therefore, above the Beyond Shore are the Divine Ancient Realm, the Divine Ancient Realm, the Dao Ancient Realm, and even the Ultimate Ancient Realm!"

"After entering the Polluted Realm, you all quickly found an alternative path. Although it's not yet a complete system, it allows you to retain your power while avoiding pollution and erosion."

Tao Te Tianzun spoke slowly, and everything he said at this moment was obtained from the Human Skin Scripture during the brief moment of contact earlier.

As Tao Te Tianzun spoke, Qin Zheng's expression gradually became more animated, no longer as solemn as before.

Those who joined forces to invade the Polluted Realm were the most brilliant and dazzling figures in the Chaos Ocean over millions of years. It seemed that even after entering the Polluted Realm and encountering such a desperate situation, they had quickly come up with a solution.

With this, the beings in the Chaos Ocean would no longer be without a future, harvested by the Polluted Realm after transcending. Instead, they could choose a path to deal with the monsters and the power of curses within the Polluted Realm.

In just a moment, countless thoughts surged in Qin Zheng's mind, and then, as Tao Te Tianzun's voice continued, he instantly calmed down and listened carefully.

"The Ancient Realm being imprinted into the Universe Path is the orthodox realm above the Beyond Shore. Those who enter this realm can achieve a comprehensive enhancement of both their physical bodies and spirits!"

"Therefore, you need to set a flaw within yourselves. While ensuring that you possess power comparable to the Ancient Realm, you also don't touch upon the Ancient Realm, thus avoiding the erosion of the Curse Power."

"There are three methods to set this flaw."

"The first is to abandon the spirit, focus solely on refining the physical body, and revive the martial path!"

"Gather all your power into your physical body, driving it to undergo greater transformations, and thus match the strength of the Ancient Realm with your physical body!"

"The second is to abandon the physical body, focus on refining the spirit, and step into the Divine Path!"

"Gather all your power into your spirit, driving it to undergo greater transformations, and thus match the strength of the Ancient Realm with your spirit!"

"Both of these paths take one path to the extreme. Although there are shortcomings, in terms of combat power, they are not a whit weaker than the Ancient Realm, and they can also avoid being eroded by the Curse Power!"

"The last method doesn't favor either the physical body or the spirit but, while retaining your current realm's strength, differentiates and evolves into countless forms!"

"Until the power of the Divine Ancient Realm is differentiated into portions of Beyond Shore Realm power, thus avoiding the erosion of the Curse Power."

As Qin Zheng listened to Tao Te Tianzun's words, he slightly frowned upon hearing the last sentence, and asked with confusion, "If so, what power can deal with the monsters in the Polluted Realm?"

The monsters in the Polluted Realm were all former strong beings of the Ancient Realm, not to mention those like the Red Moon Sovereign who retained their consciousness due to the bloodline of the Ancient Clans.

Tao Te Tianzun didn't answer but turned his gaze back to the Human Skin Scripture in Qin Zheng's hand, then said, "The Great Liberation Technique can instantly recall the differentiated power when necessary, returning to the Divine Ancient Realm!"

The Great Liberation Technique!

Qin Zheng looked down at the Human Skin Scripture and instantly remembered the description of the Scroll of Merit regarding the scripture: The Human Skin Scripture, a Divine Ancient Weapon formed from the Buddha's curse, contains the Great Liberation Technique.

So, the so-called Great Liberation Technique is a method of differentiating into countless forms and being able to gather power at any time!

At this moment, it seemed like Tao Te Tianzun had seen through Qin Zheng's thoughts, and he immediately continued, "This Human Skin Scripture is a dummy body formed by the Buddha to deceive the existence of the Polluted Realm, pretending to be eroded by the curse."

"In truth, this Skin-Scroll Scripture is merely a part of his eternal differentiation. The reason he sent the Skin-Scroll Scripture back to the Chaos Ocean is likely to spread the Great Liberation Technique."

"The situation in the Polluted Realm must be dire. The extreme methods of cultivating solely the physique or spirit cannot be sustained in the Chaos Ocean. Only the Great Liberation Technique can be practiced and spread within the Chaos Ocean!"

"With this, the Chaos Ocean can become a strategic rear base when dealing with the Polluted Realm. Here, they can cultivate Ancient Realm powerhouses independently without having to leave the Chaos Ocean and be forced to go to the Polluted Realm."

"Once they accumulate enough, or whenever they wish, a large number of Ancient Realm powerhouses can invade the Polluted Realm, achieving unexpected effects and gains."

So that's how it is!

Qin Zheng listened to Tao Te Tianzun's explanation, and the light in his eyes grew brighter. The accumulation of millions of years in the Chaos Ocean has produced countless brilliant and outstanding individuals. They would never sit idly by, waiting for his arrival to save all beings!

Moreover, although Qin Zheng possessed the Scroll of Merit, he didn't dare to guarantee that he could overthrow the Polluted Realm and expel the Curse Power, restoring purity to the universe.

Furthermore, if the Ancient Clans were so powerful, how did they meet their demise in the past?

According to the memories of the Tianyuan Clan members, Qin Zheng knew that the Tianyuan Clan was just one of the Ancient Clans, ranking outside the top hundred.

The strength of the entire Ancient Clans was likely awe-inspiring! What powerful force could have annihilated such a mighty race?

The waters of the Polluted Realm run deep!

At this moment, Qin Zheng only needed to think slightly, and he felt as if a deep abyss lay before him, making him feel insignificant and unable to touch it.

Therefore, with the existence of brilliant and outstanding companions on the same path, the journey ahead need not be solitary. He wouldn't have to bear everything on his shoulders alone!

Qin Zheng's heart was filled with joy.

After Tao Te Tianzun revealed the origin of the Skin-Scroll Scripture, a light buzzing sound rang out. The Skin-Scroll Scripture slowly rose, and Buddhist light surged, suppressing the swirling Black Qi.

In the next few breaths, the Black Qi within the Skin-Scroll Scripture was completely expelled, transforming into thick black mist that swirled above the Dao Guan Hall.

Qin Zheng's heart stirred, and with a wave of his hand, he took out the Mirror of the Azure Sky and absorbed the thick black mist into the space within the mirror.

In an instant, the hall became clean and majestic again. At this moment, the Skin-Scroll Scripture, which was once filled with dazzling Buddhist light, also underwent a transformation.

The Skin-Scroll Scripture rapidly flipped through its pages, gradually expanding and inflating like a balloon. It quickly condensed into a human-shaped figure, and under the wrapping of the Buddhist light, it resembled a Lotus Position Buddha.

And in the next moment—

"Om."

A profound and majestic Brahma's Sound emerged from within the Skin-Scroll Scripture, echoing in the ears of Qin Zheng and Tao Te Tianzun, and throughout the Eight Scenery Palace.

As the Brahma's Sound reverberated, Qin Zheng's heart stirred, and he sat down on the spot, calming his mind and immersing himself in the sound.

Although Tao Te Tianzun didn't react like Qin Zheng, he also listened to the Great Liberation Technique within the Brahma's Sound. His eyes shimmered with clear light, as if confirming something.

At the same time, in the alchemy room—

A figure sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his hands forming intricate seals.

The Bagua Zijin Furnace glowed with mysterious light.

After Qin Zheng left, all the power of the Zijin Furnace fell upon Xuan Du. Under the infinite Dao Flame and the essence of the universe, the Doom Force within his body was refined at an even faster rate.

Just then, the Brahma's Sound reverberated, and the Great Liberation Technique was imprinted on Xuan Du's spirit. Unconsciously, he began to activate it.

In the next moment—

Crack!

The sound of shattering rang out.

Xuan Du's seated figure began to show cracks, and within a few breaths, the cracks spread across his entire body. Then, with a sudden burst, his figure exploded into scattered flowing light.

Strangely, after Xuan Du's figure exploded, his Qi plummeted, not due to his fall but because of the weakening caused by the differentiation of power. Similarly, the Doom Force that filled his body also differentiated into finer strands as his body exploded, allowing for a more rapid refinement under the wrapping of the Dao Flame.

(End of Chapter)

In the blink of an eye, a profound Dao rhyme emerged from the Bagua Zijin Furnace, and strands of mysterious light converged once more, clearing a separate, pure space amidst the raging sea of fire.

As the strands of light gathered, Xuan Du's figure gradually materialized, and with the final surge of light, a pure and flawless aura, ancient and ethereal, burst forth from his body.

Whoosh! Xuan Du abruptly opened his eyes.

His eyes seemed to contain countless births and deaths of the universe, like an ancient being witnessing the passage of time, the evolution of all things, merging with the Great Dao, and becoming one with it! At this moment, he finally expelled the Doom Force that had entangled him for millions of years.

Reattaining the Beyond Shore—today was the day!

Xuan Du's expression remained calm as his gaze passed through the Bagua Zijin Furnace. He saw the Dao De Tianzun in the hall, Qin Zheng in deep meditation, and the Human Skin Scripture floating in mid-air, surrounded by surging Buddhist light.

His eyes flickered with gratitude, but his expression remained unchanged. He was in an incredibly profound state, where the slightest misstep could lead to his exit from this realm.

Under such circumstances, his opportunity to attain enlightenment at the Beyond Shore would be postponed, and he didn't know when he would have another chance.

Maintaining a clear mind, his gaze continued to shift, taking in the entire Eight Scenery Palace, and then extending beyond to the universe outside.

He witnessed the restored Thirty-Three Heavens, the excited expressions of the powerful cultivators, the countless lives in each realm, and the traces of time's passage.

Whoosh! The universe's force swept like a mighty wave.

Xuan Du's eyes lit up with understanding, and he clapped, saying, "So, this is the Beyond Shore!"

Stepping out, he left the Bagua Zijin Furnace and entered the Chaos Void of the Eight Scenery Palace. Instantly, the Great Dao of the universe manifested.

The Great Dao quickly contracted and condensed into a single point, transforming into a figure identical to Xuan Du.

The Universe Stamp!

All beings born in this realm must leave their mark here, and with this stamp, they cannot cultivate or exert their full strength in this realm.

Only those who attain the Beyond Shore can remove the stamp, break free from the universe's shackles, and roam freely in the Chaos Ocean, unleashing their full power with every move.

The stamp, identical to Xuan Du, smiled at him, then took a step forward and merged into his body. A sense of liberation and freedom surged through him as he broke free from his restraints.

Xuan Du took another step forward, leaving the Eight Scenery Palace and entering the Thirty-Three Heavens. The universe's power rumbled, and the entire world began to tremble.

Since the Beyond Shore transcendence a million years ago, Xuan Du was the first openly acknowledged existence to attain the Beyond Shore, aside from the Heavenly Emperor who had secretly escaped the Thirty-Three Heavens and quietly attained enlightenment at the Beyond Shore.

As his aura spread and surged, the Thirty-Three Heavens, on the verge of falling from the Nine Star Great World, seemed to receive a tremendous boost. The Great Dao and its origins revived, and essence and vitality permeated the world.

Boom! The decaying world's edge began to recover at a visible pace, like withered flowers regaining life and blooming with vibrant colors.

The Thirty-Three Heavens, amidst violent tremors, returned to the peak of its former glory in the Nine Star Great World!

At that moment, the powerful cultivators who had just left the Eight Scenery Palace and were about to restore order in the Thirty-Three Heavens were all shocked and overjoyed by this sight.

Beyond Shore!

A new Beyond Shore existence had emerged a million years after the previous transcendence!

Meanwhile, in the Eight Scenery Palace, Qin Zheng, seated in the hall, suddenly emitted a soft sound from within his body. His previous injuries were completely healed, and his aura and cultivation level began to rapidly rise.
