Even if one cultivates to the Twelfth Layer, with the Heavenly Dao within reach, the Seamless Celestial Robe binds oneself, and attempting to take the final step, to replace the Heavenly Dao with one's own path, to create heaven and earth anew, will only become an illusion, utterly impossible.

And if one forcibly shatters the Seamless Celestial Robe, it would be equivalent to dismantling one's own Great Tao, causing the Twelfth Layer to collapse, and one would fall from the Heavenly Dao, equally unable to create heaven and earth anew.

Thus, this is truly a dead end. The deeper the cultivation, the harder it is to progress, and the farther one is from the Heavenly Dao.

Although in theory one can cultivate to the Twelfth Layer, in reality, with the talents of Immortal Wanmiao, even after thirty thousand years, she barely managed to cultivate to the Fifth Layer, beyond which no further progress could be made.

The intertwining of cause and effect severed her connection with the Heavenly Dao. In comprehending the Heavenly Dao, it was as if her eyes were covered, making cultivation hundreds, thousands of times more difficult compared to the First Layer.

In the end, as she perished at the end of her lifespan, her black hair turned white, her entire being encased in endless threads, like a silkworm cocoon, leaving behind only one sentence, "The Great Tao is hard to walk, so hard to walk... What a pity, how lamentable, how daunting!"

...

In fact, the situation of Immortal Wanmiao is the norm.

The vast majority of people find their path fundamentally unable to reach the Heavenly Dao, and when Multifaceted Lang takes their path to its end, it's only to the Third or Fifth Layer.

Those able to reach above the Seventh Layer are often those True Monarchs who advanced with an Upper Grade Fighting Dharma Form.

Almost all who reach above the Ninth Layer advance with a Top Grade Fighting Dharma Form.

And only those able to cultivate the Twelfth Layer to Perfection, who have seen the Heavenly Dao, are qualified to become a First Grade Divine Venerate and discuss the path with a Celestial Venerate.

If one has not seen the azure sky, how can one know the Great Tao of heaven and earth?

If one has not seen the azure sky, how dare one stand shoulder to shoulder with a Celestial Venerate.

The Celestial Venerate merges their own path with the Heavenly Dao, creating heaven and earth anew from Chaos, akin to being an embodiment of the Heavenly Dao. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Such an existence, how can one know its sanctity without the Twelfth Layer?!

The Divine Venerate merely sees the threshold of the Celestial Venerate.

Lu Chengfeng only realized, after digesting countless gifts, that the so-called Divine Venerate refers to a Dharma Form Great Power of the Twelfth Layer in Perfection.

Thus, after mastering three Heaven-Reaching Transformations, he could confidently cultivate within the Cyan Nether Palace.

Even if outside countless Divine Spirits searched heaven and earth, even if the Ancient River Divine King came fiercely, even if his Path of Transformation was cultivated only to the Third Layer.

But with three Heaven-Reaching Transformations protecting him, even when facing Divine Venerates of the Twelfth Layer, he had sufficient strength and confidence to contend.

The Heaven-Reaching Transformations hold endless wonders, Great Tao Divine Techniques surpass the supreme.

Lu Chengfeng sat quietly in the Cyan Nether Palace, with the Bright Pearl suspended high, the Third Layer of pavilions towering, transforming the Pure and Muddy World into 129,600 gods and demons.

Among them, the Guanyin Dharma Form suppressed the heaven and earth, the Peacock, White Ape, and Heaven-Encompassing Divine Venerate dominated one side.

Lu Chengfeng sometimes transformed into a Golden Cicada, sometimes wove the Celestial Robe of cause and effect, comprehending the mysteries of time and the transformations of cause and effect, his Tao Cultivation gradually deepening.

While outside, seeing no response, the Ancient River Divine King finally became completely enraged, his wings behind him vibrating as he roared, "Rise for me!"

As his voice fell, all the seawater in this region soared to the sky, like a vast waterfall, flowing backwards from the earth to the sky.

Such a scene was terrifying to the extreme, the endless seawater soaring, the sea surface rapidly descending.

All the Immortals and Buddhas in heaven and on earth were alarmed, all their gazes gathered here.

"Who has provoked this God of Killing again?"

"Even Celestial Patrol and Dragon Mother did not want to provoke Ancient River, who is so bold?"

"This time there's certainly a good show to watch!"
