The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

Long ago, Shi Jian had been considering forging his own path. He knew that the later stages of the Perfect World cultivation system were not suitable for him. The Sacrificial Dao Realm, and the realms beyond it, demanded that he sacrifice everything he had.

He was unwilling to sacrifice his most precious possessions, such as his chat group and the Library of the Heavens, for a slim hope of a breakthrough. That would be purely idiotic. Therefore, he had always been dedicated to forging a completely different path for himself.

Although his current cultivation had not entirely deviated from the Perfect World system, it was already showing initial signs. With his Infinite Cave Heaven, he planned to inscribe the Laws of the Myriad Heavens and Realms upon it. Ultimately, he would walk the path of all laws returning to one.

After entering Immortal Ancient, Shi Jian quietly observed his surroundings. The five-colored Qi bubble he had chosen was indeed extraordinary. The Spiritual Qi here was incredibly dense.

He saw a terrifying, towering Divine Tree standing in the distance, surrounded by endless rosy light. This was a terrifying Divine Plant that exuded pure Heaven and Earth Origin Qi. Shi Jian flew toward it without hesitation, knowing this was the perfect place for his breakthrough.

Just as he settled and prepared for his breakthrough, the other prodigies also entered Immortal Ancient. One terrifying existence after another began to prepare to break through to the Divine Flame Realm.

Shi Hao also entered Immortal Ancient but quietly avoided everyone and returned to the three thousand bluestone steps. For a cultivator, the Divine Flame Realm was the foundation for building a spirit, and its far-reaching impact surpassed all other realms.

He knew that if he followed the path of his predecessors, he would not be able to keep up with his older brother and Liu Shen's pace. He had gained some inspiration from a drop of blood within his body. He wanted to seize the Opportunity of the Immortal Dao Flower's bloom, using the three thousand Daos as fire to ignite his Divine Flame.

The many cultivators outside were astonished when they saw him return to the bluestone steps. Everyone else was rushing to a sacred treasure land, but Shi Hao wanted to return to the starting point. They believed he was destined to fail and would be killed once he was discovered.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Some latecomers had successfully advanced, but the truly powerful individuals had not yet made a move. The more powerful a person was, the more cautious they needed to be.

The scene shifted to the other prodigies. On the screen, a person held a fist-sized crystal with a vibrant Immortal's Blood sealed within it. An Upper Realm giant exclaimed that this person was using Immortal Blood as a seed to ignite his Divine Flame, a path destined to shake the past and present.

Another scene showed the Ten Crown King taking a palm-sized small tree into his body, a mysterious Heaven-Defying object that even the Sect Masters couldn't recognize. Using these world-shaking Divine Objects, these prodigies' Dao foundations were terrifyingly strong.

Meanwhile, on the bluestone path, Shi Hao sat cross-legged, quietly comprehending the Dao. After a few days in one place, he would move to another. People outside showed strange expressions, mocking him. "I see him foolishly falling into Qi Deviation; his eyes have lost their luster," someone said. "If he continues like this, his life will dry up!"

The same mockery was directed at Shi Jian. For a month, he had sat silently amidst endless mist without any progress. He didn't use an Immortal seed or an ancient fire. People outside held hostility toward the brothers, hoping their own disciples would be the ones to kill them.

Shi Jian, however, was not idle. He was using his Library of the Heavens to comprehend the Laws of other worlds. He finally understood why it was called a library; it collected knowledge that was the carrier of Dao laws.

The Library of the Heavens had a unique "self-adaptability" that would automatically transform any cultivation technique into Shi Jian's form. He didn't have to adapt himself to the Dao; the Dao adapted to him. This was the reason he was confident in his path of all laws returning to one.

He roared in his heart, "Catalogue of the Heavens, Future of All Worlds. Open!" Dense Cave Heavens emerged around him, thousands upon tens of thousands of them, frantically devouring the essence of Heaven and Earth. This was his plan to use the Laws of various worlds to ignite his Divine Flame Dao foundation.

"Holy crap!" The crowd outside was utterly bewildered. "So many Cave Heavens... what on earth is going on?" they asked in horror. They had never seen such a terrifying scene.

A giant figure spoke in shock, "This person is extraordinary; he actually forged his own path in the Cave Heaven Realm." The people understood that this was not a matter of a strong foundation, but a completely new path. An alternative path to godhood forged at such a low realm was truly terrifying.

"He wants to break free from the confines of Heaven and Earth… and he has already succeeded," another powerful existence spoke.

Just as everyone was marveling at Shi Jian, someone else exclaimed, "Quick, look at that other Sin Blood Great Fiend; he's on fire!"

They saw Shi Hao's entire body spewing fire. He was communicating with the Daos on dozens of bluestone paths, using their flames to ignite himself.

A Sect Master-level figure immediately guessed Shi Hao's thoughts, "He is not imitating the Daos on the three thousand paths, but treating them as furnace fire. He wants to break free from these Daos!"

Everyone was stunned. Shi Hao was also going to walk such an insane path. Using three thousand Daos as fire to incinerate oneself would surely result in ashes. "Are the current Sin Blood Great Fiends all this crazy?" they wondered.
