Evolution

A blazing radiance pierced through the Chat Group's light screen. The mysteries contained within the "Three Pure Ones Dao Arts" caused the Chat Group itself to undergo a considerable evolution.

Meng Qi: "There's no need to be polite, Dao Friends. You can all download this Dao art and study it."

Ye Fan: "What generosity, Dao Friend!"

Ye Fan praised him, then casually uploaded his own technique as well.

Ye Fan uploaded "Heavenly Emperor Fist"

Ji Ning uploaded "Ultimate Sword Dao"

Hong Yi uploaded "Hundred Schools of Thought Dao Theory"

At the same time, Ji Ning and Hong Yi made the same decision.

The scriptures they uploaded were all comprehensive summaries of what they had learned. Of them, Hong Yi's "Hundred Schools of Thought Dao Theory" was the most extensive and diverse. Centered on the Book of Changes and supplemented by the scriptures of the various schools, it contained his insights from guiding and enlightening the people for an entire era.

After these four great figures uploaded their foundational cultivation arts, the changes in the Chat Group came to a halt, and the feedback reached Fang Xun.

There was no change in Fang Xun's cultivation, but the Chat Group Core deep within his primordial spirit had changed from milky white to a glass-like color.

Fang Xun: "The Chat Group has undergone some changes..."

Fang Xun: "First, the group file function has been unlocked. Everyone can enter the corresponding interface to take a look."

Fang Xun: "Also, it seems your powers can descend into Primordial Wilderness now, but... they seemingly cannot exceed my current cultivation."

This restriction did not come from the Chat Group, but from the Primordial World itself.

The Heavenly Dao of this Primordial World was absurdly powerful, and there was also a Dao Ancestor on the verge of Dao Integration. Anything appearing out of thin air would be detected by the Heavenly Dao. The power of the Chat Group Core was bound to Fang Xun and could only conceal the True Immortal Realm.

Ye Fan: "The first change is highly significant. This will mark the beginning of our exchanges and Dao Debates."

The group members all possessed the right to upload and download files, so after uploading his "Heavenly Emperor Fist," Ye Fan also downloaded the Dao arts of the other Dao Friends.

"Phew..." Ye Fan gently exhaled. Ever since attaining Above Sacrificial Dao, his emotions had not fluctuated like this for a long time.

A cultivation art from beyond all worlds, one that represented a complete cultivation system with an exceptionally high ceiling...

This absolutely surpassed the realm of Above Sacrificial Dao.

The transcendence here was not one of strength, but simply of scope—like two circles of different sizes that did not intersect.

No matter what achievements Ye Fan attained within one circle, he could not glimpse the scenery within the other.

But now, with the Chat Group as a medium, the two circles had finally gained an intersection.

"'Three Pure Ones Dao Arts,' the Three Pure Ones are one, and the Dao Fruit cannot be spoken of... Wonderful!" Ye Fan was instantly immersed in the profound mysteries of this other world's cultivation art.

Within this cultivation art, he could glimpse a world completely different from the one he inhabited.

"And this Ultimate Sword Dao... Cultivation can be done like this too? At the extreme of Dao, one Dao gives rise to ten thousand Daos..."

"The Hundred Schools of Thought, enlightenment through the Book of Changes... Dao Friend Hong Yi's Great Vow is incomparably magnificent as well..."

"But... it still isn't enough." Ye Fan calculated earnestly. Even when he took a punch from Chu Zhongji on the Battlefield, he paid it no mind.

With this single cultivation art, he still could not break free from his own world and locate the worlds of his Group Friends across unimaginable distances.

The miraculous methods of Above Sacrificial Dao gave Ye Fan an inexplicable sense of connection, but that connection was far too weak. He could not locate or descend through "Nothingness."

"For now, relying on the Chat Group is still more reliable."

Like Ye Fan, the others reached similar conclusions from these cultivation arts.

"Dao Fruit... Dao Fruit!" Meng Qi wore a pained expression. Some things could only be understood after one had truly reached this point.

For example, the difficulty of reaching the Dao Fruit Realm.

The nature of the Dao Fruit was unknowable and indescribable. Guessing at it led to error; thinking of it led to falsehood. Yet the path to the Dao Fruit was singular and clear.

That was the Method of Reducing to Seek Emptiness.

Meng Qi's original plan had been to work at it slowly over several eras, but now that he had the Chat Group and other options, he no longer needed to endure the long wait.

And now, he saw a faintly visible path.

"'Sacrifice Dao'!" This was the cultivation realm he had seen in Ye Tiandi's Heavenly Emperor Fist. The instant he saw it, the corner of his eye twitched.

Sacrifice everything, leaving only the will to endure; then go even further and sacrifice oneself as well. That too was a form of "Nothingness," the ideal realm of the Method of Reducing to Seek Emptiness!

Though the underlying Dao principles of the two worlds differed somewhat, with this reference, Meng Qi might be able to create another method of transcendence.

"But this path looks like suicide. It may very well truly be suicide." After making a slight deduction, Meng Qi's expression turned strange.

Compared to the proven Method of Reducing to Seek Emptiness, which allowed for a stable transition, the Path of Sacrificial Dao was far too fierce and domineering. One careless mistake, and one would sacrifice oneself away.

The Real World did not possess that strange land that could only be reached by sacrificing everything. The most likely outcome was sacrificing himself away, which was no different from suicide.

"So this is the style of Shrouding the Heavens." Meng Qi clicked his tongue softly. He would use it only as a reference and would not take the risk.

"Dao Friend Meng Qi cultivates the Three Pure Ones Dao Arts? But these Three Pure Ones Dao Arts are terrifyingly powerful... And Dao Friend Ye Fan's Heavenly Emperor Fist... Dao Friend Hong Yi's Great Vow as well..."

Ji Ning was somewhat stunned. By comparison, his idea of guarding his own little patch of land seemed somewhat conservative.

"The Other Shore... has no end."

Hong Yi left a fraction of his mind in the Chat Group while his remaining thoughts began transforming and applying the cultivation concepts and methods from other worlds to his own Other Shore Realm.

His Other Shore Realm was exceptionally unique, its foundation resting upon his Great Vow. In his own words, with such a grand vow, no amount of power would ever be enough.

And as Yi Zi, the last of the Hundred Schools of Thought, what he excelled at most was embracing all and incorporating everything.

The Chat Group's evolution had been completed, and Fang Xun turned his attention to the Dao scriptures and cultivation arts uploaded by the group members.

His scalp tingled slightly. The value of these four Dao scriptures and cultivation arts alone was already impossible to estimate!

He immediately downloaded all four Dao scriptures, but cautiously refrained from cultivating them right away.

Leaving aside the Heavenly Dao's reaction to introducing a new system into the Primordial World, even if the Chat Group could help him conceal that reaction, these four Dao scriptures were not things that could be casually mastered.

Moreover, the Dao scriptures would remain there, while what lay before him was a Great Luo Attainment rarely seen in Primordial Wilderness!

According to the great figures in the group, this might be the final "proper" Great Luo.

Buzz!

No one knew how much time had passed when a strange change rippled through Primordial Wilderness, gathering like waves and surging into form.

At that moment, countless living beings of Primordial Wilderness suddenly raised their heads, their hearts trembling.

In that instant, Primordial Wilderness changed color!

The boundless Primordial Wilderness suddenly seemed to come alive, and a faint joy appeared in the hearts of all living beings.

"The First Great Luo of Primordial Wilderness?" Even Fang Xun's eyes widened slightly.
