Chương 515: Peak of the Great Dao Realm - 515
As he reached the Great Dao realm, Zhou Fan could clearly feel that many new possibilities had opened up.
Unfortunately, he could instantly tell that he was still unable to leave the universe. The nothingness was still something far beyond him.
With his breakthrough finished, Zhou Fan looked at his chest universe. Many years had passed by within the Time Bubble, and the universal consciousness had created enough Great attractors.
Superclusters and other similar structures were strewn throughout the universe.
At this moment, Zhou Fan essentially had a perfectly formed universe within him. Over the time within the Time Bubble, Zhou Fan had made many ideas.
He created new life within his universe. Each one was like Chaos Beasts, simply an accumulation of a certain type of Qi, mixed with the power of cultivation.
Countless beings were created, with every single Qi being involved, including Chaos Qi. Of course, without the power of the Cosmic Dao, Chaos Beasts weren't created, but something different entirely.
Each of these beings were huge, made up of countless amounts of one Qi and bigger than any galaxy. Each being had a divine Physique attuned to its Qi.
Watching over all of these beings was the universal consciousness, who had received a new order from Zhou Fan.
Direct each of these beings to gain complete mastery over their Qi. This would of course be assisted by Zhou Fan's power.
Zhou Fan didn't quite have a perfect goal or idea for these beings, he was just trying some things out seeing where they would take him.
Zhou Fan watched as Mortal Daos burst out from each of these beings, creating their own territory. Each being was at the Sage realm and immensely powerful.
In giving these beings such power, Zhou Fan had also opened a path of advancement for the rest of the universe, the peak of it being the Sage realm.
Whatever this caused, Zhou Fan didn't pay any attention to it. His Great Dao did not only cover the universe, but also the universe within his chest.
In other words, he had an instant method of control for whatever he wanted to do in the future. These beings were also able to somewhat sense the existence of his Great Dao, letting them know in advance that there was an existence above them.
As the universe filled up with countless colors, Zhou Fan stopped paying attention and let it develop on its own.
Zhou Fan began to cultivate again. Under the influence of the Time Bubble, time moved extremely fast.
After around 1.4 quadrillion years within the Time Bubble, Zhou Fan reached the 10th level of the Great Dao realm. After another two quadrillion years, he was theoretically ready to break through.
However, it was here, where for the first time, he reached a true limit in his cultivation. With the Time Bubble now speeding up time by ten million times, Zhou Fan had only spent 340,000,000 years cultivating to the outside world. It seemed like a lot, but it was just the blink of an eye.
Zhou Fan was truly confused this time. Before, he at least had the idea of what to do, but now, something was wrong. It was as if he simply could not advance any further, as if his mind, body, and soul had reached their absolute limit of growth.
With cultivation, this was something that was simply not supposed to happen. It was created with the purpose of allowing infinite growth, but all of a sudden, it ended here.
It was not like before. This time, it felt just like trying to go past the universe. There was nothing beyond it, and so he could not go past it.
This was more than a simple bottleneck, or some sort of simple blockage, he had reached the end.
Of course, he refused to accept this. Calmly, he began to study within the Time Bubble. As long as he understood just a bit, he would be able to surpass this hurdle.
A quadrillion years passed inside of the Time Bubble. However, Zhou Fan was still lost.
A quintillion years passed within the Time Bubble. Nothing.
A sextillion years passed by.
"Damn It!" Zhou Fan shouted as he slammed his hand down. In his rage, half of universal sector 4 was decimated.
His power shook the universe, but still, this one hurdle was unsurpassable. He had studied every atom in his body. Every individual proton, neutron, and electron. He had learned knowledge that nobody else could even fathom. Even if he was a mortal, he could create a weapon capable of decimating a supercluster given enough time.
However, nothing made this seem any more possible. There wasn't fault with the human body, nor the mind or soul. There wasn't fault with any species, including the Cultivation race.
All could theoretically reach this point, but beyond it, there seemed to be nothing.
Around 111 trillion years had passed outside.
Zhou Fan began to wonder if his path was somehow wrong, or flawed. Perhaps it was his state of mind. Maybe it was an error to cut connection with the life of the universe. Maybe, just maybe, there was a chance that changing would help solve this problem.
Zhou Fan thought, but he knew deep down that none of these were the reason. He was simply insufficient, or perhaps the time he had spent was insufficient.
In a fit of anger and slight madness, Zhou Fan began to bend time. The Time Bubble was an application of time, but with his current power, Zhou Fan could do whatever he wanted to do with time. All the time in the universe came to a halt. There was no difference between Ying Xiong, Heaven, a random mortal, or the universe in his chest. Everything stopped.
Although Zhou Fan did not care about the life of the universe any longer, there was a miniscule chance that he would receive some sort of inspiration from any of the countless beings.
In that case, it was better to keep things as he was familiar with them.
Time moved for nobody except Zhou Fan. He spent countless years, far beyond the life of the universe, thinking and theorizing.
He was truly a god, and the universe simply a toy.
Chương 516: The Buddha - 516
A truly uncountable number of years passed as Zhou Fan thought. In the end, time began to move again as if nothing had happened. Nobody could sense that anything had happened at all.
Zhou Fan sighed as he sat down. He did not have an answer as to how to advance. In the end, he could only think of a few ways to find a way.
He needed to make new paths. His path, and the path of the rest of the universe, was cultivation. Progenitor Ke represented a slight difference, but it was still cultivation in the end.
What he needed was a new path to growth, one different from cultivation. In fact, he needed not just one, but many. The issue was, creating paths artificially was not going to help. He had spent countless years thinking, and almost everything he could possibly think of had been thought.
In order for new paths to experience true difference, Zhou Fan could not be the one to traverse them. Besides, he was meant for cultivation. On other paths, he may not even grow that fast.
This could of course be overridden by his power of cultivation, but once again, that would be artificial growth.
The first thing to do would be to create the path. There was nobody in this universe that had the potential to do such a thing. Even Zhou Fan's creation of his path was more or less a freak accident.
Zhou Fan would like to do it himself, but he faced the same problem as before. It would be artificial. He couldn't break through like this.
In order to breakthrough, he needed someone, at least one person, like him.
And to do that, he would have to once again get involved with the affairs of the universe.
Zhou Fan sighed and looked over. Everyone with a high cultivation level was rushing towards the new realms. Their progress was slow, of course, and not many would ever leave the True God realm, but they were still excited at the prospect.
Zhou Fan paid attention to Zhu Yi after so long. As he had recovered, Zhou Fan had granted a lot to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi had God King rank 1 meridians. He also had the Three Qi Divine Physique.
This increased the reserves of his Qi by three times in the same level, all while keeping his cultivation speed the same.
With this, instant completion was much more useful.
The River of Cultivation still had a ban on Time Qi. Zhu Yi was the only exception. Zhu Yi was going strong and Zhou Fan did not plan to stop him.
His gaze focused on his original planet, the planet earth. Gazing through time, Zhou Fan saw a specific figure, and even himself.
—-------------------------------------
As Zhou Fan meditated, the Buddha, his mentor, walked away, leaving behind only a few words.
"We are not the same."
Seeing Zhou Fan reach some sort of understanding, the Buddha smiled and left. It was his time to die, and he was satisfied.
In the distance, he saw a beautiful tree. "A great place to breathe my last."
Suddenly, as he walked, a green and blue circle appeared in front of him. The Buddha stopped in shock.
Looking through the circle, he saw a familiar, yet unfamiliar face.
Countless years apart, Zhou Fan looked at the Buddha. "I need your help."
The Buddha quickly calmed down and sighed. "So be it."
Without hesitation, he walked through the circle. As soon as he did, Zhou Fan closed it. He panted.
Even for him, opening a portal so far through Time and Space was extremely difficult. The Buddha looked around, finding himself in a lavish yard, far greater than any he had ever seen, even in his prince days.
In the distance, he saw stars, but the distance was so far even they were blurry.
He looked at Zhou Fan, who was meditating under Leaf.
The Buddha was about to speak, but Leaf moved. The Buddha stared shocked as Leaf moved one of its branches to touch him.
He looked at Zhou Fan. "You've got a lot of explaining to do."
Zhou Fan nodded. "It seems I do."
The Buddha sat across from Zhou Fan as he spoke. Zhou Fan briefly described everything that had happened in his life, emitting unimportant details, as the Buddha listened.
"With all this power, what exactly do you need my help for?" The Buddha asked.
"I've reached a limit like no other. My path is the path of cultivation, but I feel that you may be able to create your own path. In doing so, perhaps, even if there is just a tiny chance, I can see something."
The Buddha thought for a moment and nodded. "I am willing. What exactly do you need me to do?"
Zhou Fan thanked him and waved his hand. A blue circle appeared. Beyond it was a random place on earth.
"I need you to go and do what you do. And I need you to do it without cultivating. I've managed to give you a few thousand years of lifetime without influencing your path. You can use Qi, but in order to help me, you must never cultivate. Of course, if you are going to die and wish to traverse the path of cultivation, I have no issue with it." Zhou Fan said.
The Buddha nodded. "And about meridians…"
"You are a mortal without the ability to cultivate. To you, meridians are like a useless organ. Perhaps you can use them for whatever your path is."
Long ago, there were countless people with no cultivation talent like the Buddha, but they had become rarer and rarer as time passed. Now, it was nearly impossible to find someone without the ability to cultivate.
The Buddha understood and stood up. Without a word, he walked through the circle. Zhou Fan hoped that the Buddha would find his own path. There was nobody else with even a slight chance. The time and effort Zhou Fan would need to put in for just a slight chance to produce another person like him and the Buddha was unfathomable.
