it was as if time has just stopped.
Nothing but emptiness dominated the confinement of space.
Void glinted time to time , making weird sounds around.
The world Sun currently was , it was very mysterious and profound.
Power of Heavenly Dao was surging around him , encircling as if they were Armaments forged by Law of Tao.
In Solar Dao Universe , before achieving highest level of Achievement in Dao . Immortal Cultivators needs to go through Five Ladder.
Five Ladder is known to type of system where there are five stages of layers while dividing something .
And as for Dao Comprehending ; Understanding Stage , Modification Stage , Law Stage , Dao Stage and finally One With All Stage.
In Understanding Stage , Cultivators needs to understand and feel their Path which will accompany them for their whole life .
In Modification Stage , Cultivators need to Modify and give form to their Path and understand them more . For example , understanding your Path means understanding what Dao would you want in the future ? After understanding your Path , you can convert it into Techniques and Skills . Like ; Dragon Palm Technique , Hurricane Kick and so .
After mastering Modification Stage where you can manipulate your Path at your Will , you need to advance into Law Stage by becoming one with Law . To be one with Law of your chosen Path , you need to Learn about your Path , you need to spend time with your Path , you need to feel your Path and only after mastering Path and Law can you be Law Stage Cultivator.
And for Dao Stage , actually to achieve this stage it is very simple and easy . You just need to create your own Dao . Your own Will , your own Fate , your own Destiny. By forging them into one , you will achieve Dao Kingdom which will float behind you . Those with Dao Kingdom are invincible at the same Realm and can't be defeated by those that doesn't have a Dao Kingdom.
After all Dao Kingdom isn't Source born from other Universal Source but is an independent Source with endless power supple. Yes , having Dao Kingdom , you will rarely get exhausted even if you are only a Tier 1 Immortal Cultivator. Wait !! No , if a Tier 1 Immortal Cultivator manage to forge Dao Kingdom , than they will simple be unable to exhauste themselves even after fighting against Tier 3 Immortal Cultivators. As for those in Heavenly Dao Monarch Realm , they will be an Omnipotent existence with almost never ending power supple.
But because the Universe is balance by Heavenly Dao Monarchs of various Generations - Eras - Epoch - Centuries - and so , Solar Dao Universe isn't in danger for now .
Sun , sitting in lotus position , was currently feeling Time - Space around him.
Sometimes his hairs would grow grey yet his whole body was still that of child . But sometime his body would grow and turn into adult one and grow till his old age yet his hairs would still be black and shinny.
His figure would glint as if a movie has just got glint where neither sound nor video would move forward.
Sun gritted his teeth before panting heavily. He was currently moving forward and returning back in Time .
Currently his Consciousness was standing in the middle of colourful tunnel where everything seem to be moving on their own phase . Some were moving forward , some were returning back , while some were stagnated in one phase .
Sun felt as if he would be imprison in this mysterious Tunnel of Time .
Some time he would see his own self dying because of old age . While sometime he would see his self taking birth and reincarnation. There were myriads of images surfacing in front of him.

In one image he was living his life as a young master of Peng Clan . In one image he was living his life as Ying family slave . In one image he was living the life of a villager while in one image he was living his life as an Emperor of the world .
In one image , he has grown to become a middle age man and married a beautiful wife . Settling his life and was happy with his wife and children .
In another he has countless concubines and was the Emperor who has unify the world .
In another he was just a wandering warrior seeking for great adventure in his life .
In another he was just a slave and was tortured everyday .
There were countless images surfacing which were of different parallel time lines.
Sun was unable to differentiate between reality and illusion .
"What is going on ? What are all this images ?" He questioned himself but no one was there to answer him .
" are they all my life from different time line of past , present and future " suddenly something struck him as if he was hit by thunderstrike.
"Wait...what if I wasn't reincarnated as Peng Tian Di ? Would I still have been Peng Tian Di ? What if I wasn't died back then ? Would I still had reincarnated ? "
"Time .....now I get it "
"Time is only something that has no concept of anything but only three Elements ."
"Fate , Karma and Destiny "
Sun frowned and thought for awhile before he said " no , no " he shook his head and corrected himself " no , time isn't just about Fate , Karma and Destiny but is also about Reality and Illusion "
"For suppose ,if I think that I am real me than maybe , maybe there is someone another me from another time line. If I am Peng Tian Di who is young master of Peng Clan after reincarnation , there could be another me who could have reincarnated as Peng Tian Di from Peng Clan but with something special compare to me . Or maybe that another me could have reincarnated as someone else . Or maybe another me could have never reincarnated or have not died yet "
Sun felt that concept of Time was very mysterious.
"Wait , time .... even though it is time that manipulate life , death and aging as we move forward , but it is also that Dimension and Space that confines the Time ? Isn't it ? "
"For example...I am not good at physics but for suppose....isn't Time = Space = Mass ?"
" Time exist in Space and Space exist in Mass or something like that . Wasn't it ?"
Scratching his head , Sun felt everything was messed up .
"Let's focus , focus and concentration " he exhaled long breath before calming himself before he began to calculate seriously.
"Fate leads us to path that we don't know . For example , I have never visited America but what if I somehow married a girl from America even though I have never seen or met her ? Isn't it fate that brought us than ?"
"But at the same time , it is Time that schemed me into meeting the girl from America after my marriage. Otherwise why would I not meet my wife before marriage and only met her after marriage ?"
"Destiny , what is Destiny ? It is an Element that has already prepared what Fate we will have ? Destined to be King ,Destined to be Slave and so . But why did Destiny only came true in the future and not in past ? If I am Destined to be God of Solar Dao Universe than why am I not God right now and have to wait till future ?"

"Karma , it is said that what you reap what you sow . So I want to ask is , if I have done good deed now and will be rewarded for my good deed than why should I wait till future ? Why can't I receive my reward instantly after helpings someone ? "
"Is my life a Real or just Illusion similar to someone dreaming about of . Is the world I am living reality or just illusion ?"
"Am I someone's imagination or am I just someone's Reality ?"
"Time is such a mysterious power " Sun kept on comprehending about Time - Space and unknowingly was following the path of Destiny Dao , Fate Dao , Karma Dao , Reality - Illusion Dao . But for now he was unaware of such thing.
*****
After arriving in his Immortal Cave , Yao Yin expanded his Beast Sense around only to find that Sun was nowhere to be found.
"This brat ...sigh*" with a light sigh , Yao Yin left his Immortal Cave.
****
Sitting beneath the green tree , Ying Family members were having conversation with each others.
Ying Bing and Ying Bao were discussing about something in a meanwhile but suddenly they felt someone approaching near them.
"Get ready , someone is approaching us " Ying Bing seriously gave her command and was followed by Ying Family member's preparing themselves for battle.
But suddenly they can see a huge 10 feet gigantic Nightmare Ape standing in front of them .
Watching Nightmare Ape , everyone felt their whole body trembling and screaming in fear yet they didn't let their fear conquer them . After living for ten of thousands of years , everyone has tempered their mental strength so it was not that hard to calm their mind with Heaven and Earth Qi.
Nightmare Ape observed his surrounding before his gaze landed on Sun who was peacefully sleeping beneath the huge green tree .
Rising his right hand up , he used Telekinesis which was the most basic Cultivation Technique taught in Supreme Monetary to everyone by those bald donkeys.
A force of magnetic type power began to levitate and pull Sun's peacefully sleeping body toward Yao Yin .
Everyone from Ying Family wanted to save Sun but suddenly Yao Yin spoke " don't worry , it's not like I will hurt this brat . I am just here to take him back and also thanks for taking care of him " with that just in an instant he dissappear as if he wasn't there since the beginning.
Everyone watched the empty space before turning confuse.
¤¤¤¤
Inside the Immortal Cave of Yao Yin
"Fuck !! Why did you woke me up ?" Sun cried out loud while punching Yao Yin who was leisurely sitting on the ground.
"Your massage technique isn't good , for massaging someone you need both strong and soft yet feasible hands " Yao Yin lazily yet mockingly told Sun about Sun's lack of massage technique.
Sun stopped his punches and pouted before he said " damn this ...." he was unsatisfied. He was Cultivating Time - Space Dao yet this huge Monster pulled him out if his Cultivation.
Yao Yin watched Sun and said " Brat , I brought you here so I can teach you and guild you on how to become a Great Cultivator"
Suddenly hearing him , Sun pair of eyes widen before he excitedly asked " what ? So does that mean you are gonna teach me some supreme art like , 12 Immortal Physiques , Ancient Strengthening Technique , Immortal Phoenix Physique , Divine Dragon Technique..."
Before he could finish ,Yao Yin interrupted him " wow , wow , halt your imagination brat . What are all those nonsense ? I have heard about 6 Origin Physiques - 6 Origin Soul Technique but what is this 12 Immortal Physiques ?and also what Ancient Strengthening Technique ? And what's with this Divine Dragon Technique ? It is like a fairytale "
What was this brat spouting nonsense ?
Does all brats from current generation all this delusional ?
Yao Yin was truly speechless.
Sun didn't mind Yao Yin criticising him for telling Yao Yin about 12 Immortal Physiques and so because his interest was piqued by something.
6 Origin Physiques - 6 Origin Soul
He asked in interest " what is this 6 Origin Physiques - 6 Origin Soul ? Can you tell me ?"
Yao Yin didn't mind telling him about 6 Origin Physiques - 6 Origin Soul . So he told him " 6 Origin Physiques - 6 Origin Soul is nothing but Body Refining / Cultivating and Soul Cultivating Techniques. "
"It was created by Lord Heavenly King Dao Shen. "
"Indestructible Bone , Impenetrable Skin , Inexhaustible Sea of Qi , Unseen Speed , Destructive Blows , Absolute Defense are the six Origin Physiques while . Inseparable Soul , Indomitable Spirit , Imperishable Life , World Crushing Consciousness , Dao Erasing Sense and finally Supreme Primordial Aura are the six Origin Souls "
"Wow !!" Sun's pair of childish eyes glinted in a strange light before he asked in full of curiosity and interest.
" oh Great Master , can you teach this Disciple of yours how to Cultivate this Invincible Technique ?" Sun pretend as if he was really Yao Yin Disciple .
Yao Yin , with a smug expression smiled.
Ye he was thinking ' what 6 Origin Physiques - 6 Origin Soul Technique ? And I don't even know if someone name Dao Shen used to exist or not ? It's just a bullshit yet you believed in me '
But he told Sun calmly and patiently " listen brat , I will guild you and train you on how to be come a Great Cultivator ?" With that he turned to look at Sun and asked " answer me , what is the most important Element you should have as an Immortal Cultivator ?"
Sun watched Yao Yin before he answered " of course , a strong and firm , immovable Dao Heart " he revealed a smug smile as if he knew he was right but suddenly Yao Yin said a something that made him feel flabbergasted.
"*clicks tongue* brat , what Dao Heart ? Dao Heart is only needed to walk on the path of endless Dao . But I am asking you what will help you keep that Dao Heart alive ?"
Keep Dao Heart alive ?
Sun was now truly confuse.
If Dao Heart is what needed to walk on the path of Dao than what is the thing that keeps Dao Heart alive ?
He looked at Yao Yin with a questioning gaze .
With a knowing smile , Yao Yin told him " neither Supreme Techniques , nor Invincible Treasures. Not even Unparalleled Cultivation Base and not even some Almighty Power. The thing you need in your life is deceive-ness"
"Deceive-ness" Sun repeated the words while looking at Yao Yin .
"Yes , only after becoming a deceive person you can keep your Dao Heart alive " Yao Yin was like an Immortal Master who would beseech Insights and Enlightenments over whole world .
" brat remember my words , never ever reveal what kind of man you truly are to anyone. If you are sly and clever , you need to pretend to be an idiot or someone who doesn't knows anything. "
"If you are cold and serious man than you need to have poker face of a pervert. "
"If you are strong , you needs to keep low profile and hide your strength and make your move wisely "
"In this world never ever reveal others about who you are and only let them see your disguise. "
"Hide your identity while revealing your poker persona "
"Hiding your strength and weakness doesn't means you are scared of them but it just means you hiding your true capability "
"Only when time comes , you need to show what you are made of "
Suddenly Sun asked " but Master , what will I do if someone comes seeking trouble with me while I conceal my strength ?"
Yao Yin just slightly gave him a smile before he said " that is when you need to use your brain ? There is a saying . Is brain larger or a buffalo ? In my case , nothing is larger than another. Why you ask ? Cause the answer is that there is no answer to it . "
" if you are simply hiding your true capabilities while still revealing yourself to the world than you need to gather loyal subordinates who can do your bidding ."
" there is the legend of a Mortal name Zi Qi . Do you know about him ?" Yao Yin asked Sun .
Shaking his head , Sun answered " nope , who is he ?"
Yao Yin told him " Zi Qi , also known as Immortal Commander Mortal Master . Zi Qi , despite not being able to Cultivate in his whole life he still manage to become one of the terrifying existence who left his footprint behind in the history. "
"He leaded millions of Immortal Cultivators and fought against Alien Invaders and even manage to invade the Alien Dimension and conquer over more than five Dimensions. Everyone must have heard his title , and you are no exception I think "
Yao Yin gazed at Sun which made the latter confuse so he asked " what title ?"
Yao Yin closed his eyes . The moment he closed his eyes , an image surfaced in front of his life .
Millions of Immortal Cultivators equipped in War Armour and standing in World's most terrifying War Formation were marching and invading the land of Alien Race .
War cries were dominating both Heaven and Earth , sky was rumbling while ground was shattering.
Bloods were flowing in the vicinity of 10 billion Li , dead corpses were decorating the land and blanketing it.
Mounting a crimson War Horse , equipped in a bronze armour was a young man holding a long bronze spear . He was giving the commands to all millions of Immortal Cultivators.
Exuding aura of a Great Commander , this young man was coldly observing everywhere.
Wherever his spear would point there would be a brutal and mass slaughtering.
With a hint of respect , Yao Yin , even though he was a Sacred Beast opened his eyes and said to Sun " Eternal Mortal Commander "
Eternal Mortal Commander
Inhaling long breath , Sun felt his blood rushing. Suddenly he remembered about the legend of a Mortal who manage to gather millions of Immortal Cultivators and serve under him because of his wisdom and insight.
Zi Qi was a true legend before he died . It is said that after his death , the army he leaded has gone hiding and is waiting for a new Eternal Commander to be born and summon them to bring glory to the world again.
The force of Zi Qi was divided into six Regiment Army -- Heaven Immortal Formation Regiment , Earth Immortal Array Regiment , Realm Sealing Regiment , Immortal Entrapping Vanguard Regiment , Time - Space Regiment , Undead Regiment and finally Eternal Firmament Regiment.
This all names seem to be flashy and very arrogant but they all are actually name of their Regiment Techniques which they use while battling. But when all six of those Regiments becomes one , it is called Heavenly Dao Monarch Terminating Formation.
Zi Qi has used his Heavenly Dao Monarch Terminating Formation to actually seal Three Heavenly Monarch back in his Era . One have to know that Zi Qi despite being only an ordinate Mortal was actually an Immortal Formation True Seeker . True Seeker are called to those that has knowledge and theories about said subject but can't bring them into practice because they have no talent to do so . In simple they are a huge Divine Library full of Knowledges yet they don't have talent to Cultivate them .
After Zi Qi has learned countless Immortal Formations , he actually was able to seal one after another evil Heavenly Dao Monarchs . And aa for vanguard for him were tens of Heavenly Dao Monarchs for him at that time.
But sadly he died . After all who can win against time and old age .
Just with the title alone , Sun was able feel a Heroic Spirit in him trying to come out of his body .
Yao Yin told him " take him for example , having no strength doesn't means you are weak . You can gather strength and become stronger through lots of other means . An Army can even kill those with 2 Realm Higher Immortal Cultivators ."
Sun nodded his head but suddenly felt something so he asked " can I ask you something ? It seem like you are somewhat familiar to Eternal Mortal Commander ? Whenever you mention about him I feel like you know him personally "
To Sun it feels as if Yao Yin was close to Eternal Mortal Commander the more he hears Yao Yin talk about the legendary Eternal Mortal Commander.
So he was curious.
With a pride-ful smile , Yao Yin began to brag about his past " of course i was close to him . Who do you think I am ? You wouldn't believe me but few million ago , I was also part of Heavenly Dao Monarch Terminating Formation and one of those that aid that brat Zi Qi to seal those evil Heavenly Dao Monarchs . But sadly he left all of us after he died because of natural death "
"Wow....amazing " Sun was truly impressed by Yao Yin this time.
To be able to fight side by side with such a legendary figure , I am so jealous.
But suddenly Sun noticed a sadness surfacing in pair of Yao Yin eyes .
"What happened ? Why are you suddenly sad ?" Sun couldn't stop himself from asking Yao Yin with curiosity.
Yao Yin didn't said anything for a long time . Silence dominated the whole cave before Yao Yin said something " that year , it was Tribulation Age ." His voice was filled with sadness while he slowly continued.
"Me and my comrades were all returning after sealing one of the evil Heavenly Dao Monarch -- Dao Devourer Monarch "his voice turned into little bit of coarse .
The more he continental the more hoarse it became " everyone were exhausted after a great battle with evil Heavenly Dao Monarch -- Dao Devourer Monarch -- and so were injured "
"That brat Zi Qi , after using the power of Monarch Artifact -- Universal King Crest -- was fighting against Life and Death "
"Everyone were depress and drowned in because of the death of hundreds of thousands of our comrades . Everyone were trying to cheer each others "
Sun didn't disturb Yao Yin and slowly kept on listening.
Yao Yin didn't deliberately or was willingly talking about his past but it just that he was drowned in his past and without realising he was murmuring.
"When everyone were returning back and were not far from our temporary hideout -- Immortal Graveyard Zone of Nirvana Realm -- we felt something was wrong "
Slowly his eyes began to reveal a trace of fear and terror .
"That was the moment we met our worst nightmare in our life "
His voice slowly began to shake and tremble.
"We saw it. Everyone there saw it . "
His spine began to feel chill .
"Everyone saw it "
Sun began to gulp his saliva while keeping silence .
"That was no Monster "
"Neither was a Demon "
Yao Yin began to feel his body shaking in fear .
"If world have to describe about a God than they would say God is an omnipotent , omnipresent and omniscient being . "
Both Sun and Yao Yin eyes widen .
"If so than that being we saw back than must be the God of Calamity which should be born....."
Before Yao Yin finished his saying , he realise he was talking without a second thought.
Shaking his head , he said " brat , where were we ?"
Sun blinked his eyes and answered " which should be born....."
Yao Yin frowned and told him " not that . Before that " realising that Yao Yin was trying to divert the topic , Sun didn't pursue the matter and played along with Yao Yin.
But still in his head , one question was repeating.
What was that thing Yao Yin saw ?
