Sitting within the Empyrean Palace and looking at the large but empty palace, Haotian seemed to have gradually started to get used to this place.

Although he hadn't transmigrated for long, he couldn't deny that this feeling of being able to rule over everything was intoxicating. In the past, the historical records of King Han, Liu Bang, and King Chu, Xiang Yu, had seen Qin Shi Huang leave the carriage together, and had said something different.

"As a man should be!"

"In the future, I can replace him!"

Haotian had been muddleheaded in his previous life, but now he was sitting on the throne of the Lord of the Nine Heavens. He had no other choice but to be overjoyed.

"Since then, all sorts of things such as yesterday's death occurred in my previous life! We are really just Emperor Haotian from Foreworld! "

His voice was so low that it could not be heard, and even in this quiet Empyrean Palace, it did not cause the slightest bit of an echo. However, it resounded throughout Haotian's heart like thunder. If one were to say that the oath he had just made seemed more like an oath to the Dao of the Heavens, swearing to show it to others.

Thus, this heavy sentence seemed even more like it was meant for him to hear.

"Ha!" His hand slapped the Dragon Throne heavily. What was the most important thing in this prehistoric era? Without a doubt, it was a fist. In other words, it was strength. Haotian currently didn't have the power to conquer everything, so he had to be controlled by others.

If he wanted to break free, then he needed strength. Rights, women, freedom, and happiness must be built upon power in this world.

"System, didn't you just say that you would reward me with a chance to comprehend the Dao?" "Go ahead and extract it!"

[Mission: Three thousand beauties of the harem

Reward: One attempt at comprehending the Dao

Withdraw?]

"Extract!"

With that, Haotian slowly closed his eyes. If there was one place in this world that was the safest for him, then it had to be the Empyrean Palace. After forcing back two Saints, no one dared to come here and cause trouble for Haotian.

From what he could sense from his memories, this was no small matter. If he was even the slightest bit careless, he would die on the spot. However, this opportunity was not something that could be easily obtained. Back then, within the Purple Cloud Palace, when Taoist Ancestor Hongjun lectured, the guest within the three thousand Purple Cloud Palace would get the chance to comprehend the Dao once.

Later on, saints would witness the dao once in a lifetime. This was not only a reward from the Heavenly Dao, but also a fortuitous opportunity for them. It could be found, but not sought.

The divine eye was tightly shut, so Haotian's consciousness did not fall into a coma along with it, and he also did not only see pitch-black. On the contrary, it was as though he was in the middle of the night sky, sitting upright in the starry sky. The endless stars were flashing with dazzling brilliance, each of them releasing a different color, each star seeming to be tens of thousands of feet away, yet also within reach. For a moment, Haotian couldn't help but feel a bit intoxicated.

He slowly extended his hand, as though he wanted to touch the star before him. That resplendent light really made one want to get close to him.

"Swish!"

A meteor streaked across in front of him. In an instant, his eyes, which were even more gorgeous than before, were filled with lament and regret.

Haotian suddenly had an epiphany: This was not a star, this was not the night sky, this was a dao.

What is the Dao?

Haotian couldn't explain it clearly. Not just him, but everyone else in this world couldn't explain it clearly. Heavenly Sovereign of Primordial Beginning couldn't do it, Hierarch Tongtian couldn't do it, Zhunti couldn't do it, even Tai Qing Laozi and even Taoist Ancestor Hongjun couldn't do it.

'I don't know its name, Strong name of Dao! '

"The Dao is the Dao. Very Dao."

'Name can be given, very name.'

Seeing through the illusion in front of him, he could immediately understand the essence of the world. The starry sky was the evolution of a great Dao. The countless stars were Dao Fruits that could reach the peak of the Dao Seeking stage.

"Strength... Time... Space... Yellow Springs... Earth... Five Elements … Causality... Mercy... "Universe …"

Haotian muttered in a low voice as he stared fixedly at the shooting stars that streaked past in front of him.

Streaks of great Dao appeared before his eyes, and he lowered his head to look down. A huge star actually sat down on his seat. It blossomed with an incomparably resplendent radiance. This radiance was cool and at ease, but also carried a different sort of coldness.

This was his current path.

Following Taoist Ancestor Hongjun for thousands of years, naturally, he wanted to follow his path and continue on his path. Heartless was the foundation, the three corpses were the road, and the Heavenly Dao was the basis. However, was Haotian really suitable for this path? He had never questioned himself like this before. However, the same body had changed to another soul and ruler. Was Hongjun's way really his?

"No, no!"

Haotian roared out resolutely in his mind like a man filled with wisdom.

He did not want to end up like Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, living in chaos all his life, with only the Great Dao as his partner. He could not bear such loneliness, and he did not want to kill his own Three Corpses and Three Insects. What was the point of living like that?

With a loud shout, the star that Haotian was sitting on suddenly shattered.

In the real world, Haotian, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura instantly weakened. If not for the Sky Emperor's support, he probably would have fallen under the Quasi Sage in an instant.

The entire radiance of the Empyrean Palace dimmed. In practically an instant, Yao Chi, who was within the realm of Yao Chi, flew out. However, when he arrived at the entrance of the Empyrean Palace, he stopped in his tracks. Looking at the interior of the Empyrean Palace in disbelief, he blurted out, "Comprehension …"

Within his mental world, the sitting stars shattered. In this endless starry sky, Haotian was like a swaying leaf, unable to be contained at all. Sometimes he drifted here, sometimes he drifted there. However, as he swayed here and there, his mind gradually began to lose his way.

The Great Dao was limitless and boundless. Anyone who was immersed in the comprehension of the Dao for a long period of time and felt the vastness of the Great Dao, would eventually be drunk on the boundless Great Dao and lose themselves in it.

What Haotian didn't know at this moment was that he was constantly swaying and pondering. Everything before him didn't seem to be what he wanted.

After an unknown amount of time, just as his primordial spirit was about to get lost, a star suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. This star was completely purple-gold in color and gave off a boundless sense of majesty. When one looked at it with reverence, they couldn't help but submit.

It was as if there were countless monarchs standing proudly on this star, and countless surrounding stars were all bent down and bowing to them, as if they were bowing and bowing.

Haotian was stunned. After a long time, he suddenly smiled.

"Everyone was looking for him for thousands of times, but when they looked back, he was in a place with no lights at all!"
