Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity

After breaking through to become a Great Luo Venerable God, Li Fan could cross Vast Horizon, taking a single step billions upon billions of miles away and moving freely through Space Rifts.

The sea was vast enough for fish to leap, the sky high enough for birds to soar. Li Fan flew all the way from the East Sea to the Taiyin Star, casually crafting an omen for himself: "A bright moon rose over the sea."

If wealth was not shown in one's hometown, it was like walking at night in embroidered clothes.

I had to keep a high profile. Showing off was like the wind, ever at my side. Otherwise, wouldn't this Great Luo attainment have been for nothing?

Under the witness of the sun and moon, all sentient beings of the Prehistoric Universe's God-Demon Era learned that a new Great Luo Venerable God had been born.

The Five-Colored Human Race was led by Human Emperor Jiutou Clan. A lesser deity from its territory rushed in panic toward the ancestor, Wulong Clan.

"Ancestor, there's another moon in the sky."

Wulong Clan said, "A new Great Luo deity has appeared. I've been in seclusion for billions upon billions of years, yet I still cannot break through to the Da Luo Realm."

With a frustrated expression, Wulong Clan said, "Continue cultivating in seclusion. I refuse to believe it."

The difficulty of becoming Great Luo was harder than ascending Qing Tian. Aptitude, talent, and fortune—none could be lacking.

Earth Emperor Yuejian saw this while clearing the Earth Veins. "This Great Luo also seems unwilling to remain obscure. The Primordial World is about to become lively."

Li Fan arrived at the Taiyin Star and saw Goddess Wangshu seated beneath the Moon Laurel Tree.

Smiling, he said, "Thank you, Goddess, for protecting my Dao."

Wangshu teased, "Why didn't I see you being so high-profile before? Now that you've attained Great Luo, you've found your confidence, haven't you?"

"Goddess Wangshu, stop teasing me. Wasn't I doing this to bring you glory?"

Li Fan knew the goddess was joking.

"Come, come, come. I'll treat you to tea. This tea is extraordinary. I went through untold hardships to obtain it. There's scarcely another like it in the world—truly one of a kind."

Seeing Li Fan's beaming face, Wangshu could only shake her head helplessly.

Life needed a sense of ceremony, so Li Fan planned to make a tea set for their tea.

On the way back, Li Fan had casually picked up some Divine Materials. Samadhi True Fire rose, and he began refining them.

In an instant, an exquisite tea set appeared.

Li Fan took out the tea leaves and began brewing tea, slowly bringing the Three Lights Divine Water to a boil. After a while, the tea was ready.

Li Fan placed a teacup before Wangshu. "Have a taste."

The fragrance of tea wafted into her nose. It was also Wangshu's first time drinking it.

Li Fan watched as Wangshu's alluring little mouth drained the tea in one gulp, and she entered a state of Dao enlightenment.

With nothing else to do, he began tinkering with the Moon Laurel Tree. A hundred years later, Wangshu awoke from her state of enlightenment.

"Fine tea. Three Lights Divine Water and a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root—Li Fan, you really struck it rich on this trip."

Li Fan looked surprised. "Goddess, you knew it was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root after just one drink? Your little mouth is something else."

"At my realm, ordinary Innate Spiritual Roots cannot make me enter a state of Dao enlightenment."

"This is good stuff. Do you have any extra tea leaves? Let me drink some to pass the time."

Li Fan smiled. "Since the goddess has asked, of course I do. Here, take three hundred leaves. If that isn't enough after you finish them, come ask me for more."

"I'll also give you nine bottles of Three Lights Divine Water to brew it with."

"Goddess, do you have any good things on you? Share some with me. You gave me nine drops of Three Lights Divine Water back then, so I'm repaying you with nine bottles this time."

"Invest in me. You won't lose out, and you won't be fooled. Your chance to get rich is right before your eyes."

Wangshu rolled her eyes at Li Fan. "No. Right now, I only want to rob you."

Li Fan laughed and shouted, "The goddess is robbing me! The goddess is robbing me! Is she after my wealth or my body? I'm so scared, trembling with fear!"

Seeing this, Wangshu's fists clenched.

With her fair little hands, she snatched the tea leaves and divine water from Li Fan.

"I never realized you were such a clown."

Li Fan said, "Goddess, I want to discuss the Dao with you. I want to improve so badly."

"Mm." They began their discussion of the Dao.

Li Fan said, "The Dao is empty, yet its use is inexhaustible. Deep and profound, it seems to be the ancestor of all things. It blunts its sharpness, untangles its knots, harmonizes its light, and mingles with its dust."

Wangshu said, "The Valley Spirit never dies; this is called the Mysterious Female. The gate of the Mysterious Female is called the root of Heaven and Earth. It endures, seeming ever-present; used without exhaustion."

For a time, heavenly flowers fell in profusion, and sweet springs gushed from the earth.

A hundred thousand years later, the two awoke one after another. Li Fan had gained more from this discussion of the Dao. At first, he could still keep up, but later, he could no longer follow.

Goddess Wangshu's realm was simply too profound. This time, Li Fan's comprehension of the Lunar Law deepened once more.

Goddess Wangshu had also gained something. Every Great Luo walked a different Dao, and they could learn from each other's strengths to remedy their own weaknesses. Wangshu had obtained insights into Li Fan's Law of World.

Li Fan wanted to spar with Goddess Wangshu and understand the gap between himself and the Great Divine Powers.

When Li Fan made the request, Goddess Wangshu agreed without a second thought.

An extremely bad premonition surged into his heart. Goddess Wangshu used the Lunar Law to envelop her fist.

One punch, two punches, three punches. Li Fan only blocked the first before Goddess Wangshu slammed him into the ground of the Taiyin Star, where he could not even pull himself free.

Though his life was not in danger, it was unbearably miserable for Li Fan. My handsome face...

He simply used earth escape, drilling out from the ground of the Taiyin Star, and hurriedly shouted, "No more, no more! I surrender! I can't beat you!"

Goddess Wangshu's face was full of smiles. Li Fan knew she had done it on purpose.

Li Fan said gloomily, "I didn't expect the gap to be this great. Sure enough, A Trace Higher in Dao is boundless beyond compare."

Li Fan's Innate Inheritance was no longer useful after reaching the Da Luo Realm. He had to forge his own path.

With a curious expression, Li Fan asked, "Goddess, how are the Great Luo realms of the Prehistoric Universe divided? Tell me about it."

Wangshu said, "Strictly speaking, Great Luo has no so-called realm divisions. However, the Three Emperors gathered all the Great Divine Powers openly known throughout the Primordial World, and after a discussion of the Dao, established these so-called divisions."

"Twelve Heavens of Grand Unity—each step leads to another heaven!"

"The first through fourth heavens are early Great Luo, the fifth through eighth are Middle Grand Unity, and the ninth through twelfth are the Great Divine Powers."

Li Fan asked curiously, "Goddess, you're so powerful. Are you at the Twelve Heavens?"

Wangshu chuckled. "How could it be that easy? Not long ago, I broke through from the Grand Unity Tenth Heaven to the eleventh heaven. That was also thanks to the Lunar Law within your Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. It truly deserves to be called a Dao-Enlightening Spiritual Treasure."

Li Fan looked proud. "You're welcome. Goddess, do you want to borrow it again?"

"No need. The twelfth heaven of Great Luo is about condensing one's own Primordial Dao Fruit. This is the first step toward breaking through to Hunyuan Grand Unity, and one can only rely on oneself."

"Hunyuan Grand Unity is untouched by all karma!"

"Great Luo is about mastering the power of Laws. Li Fan, your cultivation advanced quickly before, but Great Luo cultivation requires long years."

"Unless you can obtain a supreme treasure, which can accelerate your cultivation."

Li Fan spoke respectfully. "I understand, Goddess. Then are there any Great Divine Powers at the Twelve Heavens in the Primordial World?"

Wangshu slowly said, "Ten epochs ago, the Three Emperors and the Five Elder Lords fought a great battle. The Three Emperors were openly known to be at the eleventh heaven. As for whether any have secretly broken through to the twelfth heaven now, I do not know."

"Then I want to know, how high was Great God Hongjun's cultivation back then?"

Wangshu pondered. "The Grand Unity Tenth Heaven. Hongjun hid himself deeply. I suspect he has already broken through by now."

Goddess, you don't need to guess. He definitely has. Hongjun possesses the main body of the Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation. You're already at the eleventh heaven, so Hongjun might even have reached Grand Unity Perfection and be preparing to charge into the Hunyuan realm.

Wangshu frowned deeply. "It is not a good thing for the Three Emperors to break through to Grand Unity Dao Fruit Perfection. God Merged with Dao, and the Dao has been tainted by the Chaos Demon God Fruit. It is far too dangerous!"

"The Three Emperors at Grand Unity Perfection are essentially half Chaos Demon Gods. Perhaps the Five Elder Lords are right."

After Li Fan and Wangshu finished talking, they each went off to cultivate.

Before leaving, Li Fan gave the goddess a jade box containing the fruit of the Huangzhong Plum, one of the ten great spiritual roots of the Prehistoric Universe. It should help with her cultivation.

Wangshu opened the box and found an Innate Spiritual Root fruit inside. "Li Fan, that was thoughtful of you."
