Just as the Demon Clan in the Heavenly Realm were pondering how to overcome the Primordial Desolation Heavenly Dao Barrier that hindered their grand plan, deep within the Pengxuan Cave Heaven of the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven Primordial Chaos Dao Field on Lingzhu Mountain...
Jiang Yun sat cross-legged on a lotus-shaped Cloud Platform filled with Chaos Spiritual Energy, but his mind was not immersed in enlightenment.
In his palm, a peculiar Jade Key, radiating a hazy silvery-gray luster, lay quietly.
This Spatial Jade Key was a parting gift given to Old Ancestor Yang Mei deep within the Chaos Ruins after their discussion.
The Jade Key is warm and smooth, yet it exudes an indescribable sense of antiquity and resilience, as if it encapsulates the imprint of endless time and space.
He used this Jade Key as a coordinate to emerge from the Chaos and return to the Primordial World.
When Yang Mei gave it to him, she did not directly explain its mysteries, only saying that this item might help his "Dao of All Beings," and even jokingly said that she herself might be one of those who benefited from that Dao of All Beings in the future.
At that time, Jiang Yun had just returned to the Primordial World, and the Witch-Demon were stirring up trouble again. He was preoccupied with many matters and was unable to investigate in depth.
Now that the sermon is over and the Dao Field is at peace, the great masters from all directions have either returned to their Cave Abode to digest what they have learned or have already embarked on their journeys to seek the Chaos. This period is a rare time of leisure.
A Primordial Chaos Divine Sense sank into the core of the Jade Key.
In an instant, countless fine spatial coordinate information streams, as dense as a spider web, flooded into Jiang Yun's Sea of Consciousness, their complexity far exceeding imagination.
However, in front of Jiang Yun, who had experienced the Chaos Proving Dao and possessed the imprint of the Three Thousand Great Daos, this mystery, which was difficult for ordinary people to fathom, was quickly analyzed and unraveled by him.
"I see..." A hint of understanding flashed in Jiang Yun's deep eyes.
Old Ancestor Yang Mei gave was not merely the spatial coordinates to return to the Primordial World; this Jade Key was more like a meticulously designed cipher.
While pointing to the Primordial World wilderness, it also hides a precise path leading to another "Spatial Anchor Point" at a deeper level.
Yang Mei has existed since the Chaos era, surviving the beginning of Heaven-Opening. He took the Form Transformation of Hollow Willow from the Primordial Desolation Origin and Enter the world the world. In the end, in pursuit of ultimate transcendence, he severed his Primordial World Karma, reshaped his true form with the Chaos origin, and stepped into the unknown Depths of Chaos.
This willow branch left in the Primordial World carries the earliest and deepest cause and Karma between him and the Primordial Desolation World, contains the Spatial Origin imprint of his original form, and is itself an incredible natural Spatial Divine Object!
The Spatial Anchor Point hidden within the Jade Key is none other than Yang Mei's shed true form— the Hollow Willow Tree!
"Could it be that he already knew my Root Foundation back then?" Jiang Yun wondered.
Jiang Yun didn't want to alert anyone.
With a slight thought, the Chaos Dao Rhythm above his head swirled, and the illusory image of the Dao Derivation Disk flashed by. The formless and intangible yet all-encompassing Spiritual Treasure aura quietly dissipated, like the Gao Ming net weaver, gently and meticulously concealing his next move and the secrets of Heavenly Secrets.
If Heavenly Dao Saint were to deduce this, he would only see him still sitting upright in his grotto, his spirit wandering in the vast void.
"Just say we've closed the gates to outsiders," he muttered to himself, his figure vanishing silently into the Pengxuan Grotto-Heaven like smoke and clouds.
There was no explosion that tore through space, nor any ripples that crossed the void, as if he had never existed there.
The Spatial Divine Ability of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal have reached a state of perfection.
The South Sea is vast and boundless.
Guided by the coordinates of the Jade Key, Jiang Yun's figure suddenly appeared in the depths of a vast and boundless Sea Region.
We are now far from the archipelago shipping route. The seawater below is a deep, almost inky blue, while sunlight struggles to penetrate from above, making it appear dark and profound.
The turbulent underwater currents stirred up Whirlpool, churning up murky silt, and countless strange, low-level Sea Beast swam silently in the darkness.
A sweep of divine sense revealed a desolate landscape. Apart from the dense water elemental energy, the surging pressure of the deep sea, and the eternal stillness, there was no other noteworthy spiritual energy or treasure.
This is the key node indicated by the coordinates, but it looks like an ordinary turbulent area of an ocean eye.
Jiang Yun remained calm, showing no sign of doubt.
He took out the Spatial Jade Key and infused it with a wisp of pure Hunyuan Magical Power.
Buzz--!
The Jade Key suddenly lit up, and a silvery-gray halo flowed across its surface like living water.
It detached from Jiang Yun's palm and hovered in mid-air in front of him, trembling violently.
The next moment, the Jade Key transformed into a condensed silver-gray ray of light, and with a "whoosh," it pierced straight into the seemingly empty void in front of it!
A strange thing happened.
Like a drop of boiling hot oil falling into ice, the void pierced by the light of the Jade Key suddenly rippled violently, with visible waves, as if steam were rising and spreading in all directions!
The ripples spread wildly like water, layer upon layer, instantly distorting the light and shadow across the Sea Region for miles around, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.
A Spatial Fault that was originally Perfect World hidden was suddenly activated by this special "key"!
The spatial ripples grew increasingly violent, as if an invisible hand were forcibly tearing and stretching open a huge, transparent curtain.
The initial sense of distortion and folding gradually faded, and an indescribable, magnificent scene slowly unfolded before Jiang Yun like a scroll painting!
Looking through the gradually stabilizing Spatial Portal, what came into Jiang Yun's view was a vast world... comparable to the Great Thousand World... the Root System World!
Countless massive roots, as thick as Horned Dragon and as vigorous as ancient mountains, coil, twist, and extend in a way that surpasses the limits of human imagination!
They intertwine and support each other, forming the foundation of a vast and boundless land framework that cannot be measured on any scale.
The soil of this "land" is not sand or gravel, but rather has a strange wood-like texture and a heavy, Chaos color, exuding an aura of resilience that contains immense vitality and endless spatial fluctuations.
The texture of each root resembles a natural Formation Runes, flowing with silver-gray Spatial Dao Marks.
"I see," a look of understanding flashed across Jiang Yun's eyes, "The entire land of the Great Thousand World is the vast root system that spread out from this Hollow Willow."
Yang Mei's shed physical form... has actually become a world of its own! Even after his departure, Yang Mei's control over the Space Law still displays incredible power in his remains.
The portal was now secure, a slowly rotating Gray Vortex of light, filled with a rich and pure aura of Spatial Origin, even mixed with a trace of the cold sharpness of the laws of Nirvana of Time Law.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Yun took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the portal of light.
The moment of entry is not a simple passage, but an extremely complex Spatial Rule Conversion.
Jiang Yun felt as if she had passed through a thin, yet incredibly strong, water film. Suddenly, her body felt light, as if she had been thrown into a strange, kaleidoscope-like passage.
The surrounding scenery was no longer the land framework formed by roots, but... countless broken and reassembled Spatial Mirror, twisted and folded Spatial Folds, ceaseless Spatial Turbulence, and fleeting, tiny Spatial Bubble that floated like bubbles at the edge of the passage.
This passage is built directly within the natural Spatial Veins of countless intertwined willow roots!
A vast yet exceptionally stable Spatial Power compressed, enveloped, and guided him from all directions.
If Jiang Yun had not already possessed the Primordial Chaos Dao Body and carried an extremely profound Space Law Imprint, even with the cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortal at its peak, he would probably have been instantly crushed into dust by this spatial power the moment he stepped into this passage, or lost in the eternal labyrinth composed of countless Spatial Fragments.
I don't know how much time passed; it might have been a moment, or it might have been a long period of time.
Suddenly, a bright light shone ahead, and the suffocating feeling of being squeezed in space vanished instantly.
Jiang Yun stepped out of the spatial passage and truly stood inside this Great Thousand World supported by the remains of Hollow Willow.
The Firmament was high and vast, overflowing with a pure, faint silver-gray light, as if it were polished from the finest Space Crystal, clear yet impenetrable.
The earth was vast and heavy, and a thin layer of dust, formed from the chaotic Chaos Aura, covered the dark brown woody "soil."
The world was so quiet it was almost deathly still, filled with a unique, timeless, and detached rhythm.
However, the background of all this paled in comparison to the other colossal object.
Jiang Yun's gaze was immediately and firmly captured by the absolutely undeniable presence at the very center of the world!
It was a tree.
A colossal tree so immense that it defies all imagination... Tongtian giant!
Its trunk has long surpassed the ordinary concept of a mountain range. Like a towering Chaos Pillar, it pierces through the Firmament and the earth of the entire Great Thousand World, and its diameter is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of miles!
The tree trunk is a peculiar mix of silver-gray and dark brown, with ancient and vigorous cracks in the bark, each groove seemingly bottomless, as if containing countless layers of space.
But that's not the most shocking part.
What truly shook even Jiang Yun, Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, was... the countless leaves on the canopy of that giant tree, its branches stretching out and forming a canopy hundreds of millions of feet long!
Each leaf is as enormous as Stars continent!
They come in various shapes; some are long and narrow like swords, some are round like the moon, some resemble lotus flowers, and some have patterns like Star Chart.
Its colors are even more dazzling and unpredictable: deep green, golden green, jade white, crimson, black... Shimmering with light, as if encompassing all the brilliance in the Chaos.
On each of the enormous leaves, a complete and unique Spatial Law Fluctuation clearly flows!
They are not merely decorations; their surfaces clearly form a world of their own!
The phrase "One Leaf, One World" is vividly embodied here!
Some leaf worlds present a vast, ancient forest, teeming with life, adorned with countless exotic flowers and rare herbs, and even showing mountains and rivers winding their way through the leaf's veins; others are a raging inferno of lava, its crimson light blindingly intense, with Earth Fire Magma surging and flowing within; some are silvery-white snowfields, ice crystals sparkling eternally like diamonds; some are vast, yellow sand dunes, with howling winds whipping up unchanging sand waves; and still others resemble a deep night sky, with twinkling stars forming magnificent constellations that rotate on the leaf's surface...
The billions of leaves are like billions of distinct yet stable Small World coexisting on the same sacred tree!
They are like pearls, Stars, and gems attached to the mother tree, together forming this magnificent spectacle that cannot be described in words and transcends all logic.
This world, in terms of its scale, stability, and the level of Space Law it contains, has undoubtedly reached the level of... the Great Thousand World!
"Old Ancestor Yang Mei... actually transformed his shed physical body into a Great Thousand World with space as its core Laws!"
Each leaf that carries Small World is the ultimate manifestation of the Spatial Origin Dao Rule...
Even with Jiang Yun's clear Dao Heart, he was deeply shocked and moved at this moment.
This vision and spirit of creating the world based on oneself completely surpasses all known grotto heavens, Blessed Land, and even the Saint Dao Field established by sages in the Primordial World!
Before this magnificent wonder of the world, so grand that even Saint would be speechless, Jiang Yun's figure was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
However, the Hunyuan Dao Fruit within his body, centered on the Dao of All Beings and imprinted with the origins of the Three Thousand Great Daos, was trembling slightly, subtly resonating with the origins of this Spatial Great Thousand World.
In the center of this desolate world, the hollow Hollow Willow is not merely the remains of Yang Mei, but more like a wordless Heavenly Scroll, the ultimate creation of the Great Dao of Space.
It provides a near- Perfect World reference template for Jiang Yun's grand blueprint of using the Way of Space to carry all living beings and build the "Other Shore".
Jiang Yun's Divine Sense spread out cautiously, like an invisible tide, exploring this world supported by willow tree roots.
As his Divine Sense spread, he could clearly see through every detail.
Although this Great Thousand World is immense and stable, with Space Law so dense they cannot be dispersed, it lacks a complete and self-evolving Order the Three Ways of Heaven, Earth, and Man within it.
It is more like a vast framework, a shell born from the pure Spatial Origin, but which has not yet truly incorporated the balance of Heavenly Dao, the Reincarnation Earthly Dao, and the changes of Dao of Humanity.
"Full of vitality, yet lacking the development of intelligence; condensed Laws, yet lacking dynamic balance."
This Hollow Great Thousand World can serve as the framework for a new 'boat'.
Jiang Yun's eyes gleamed, and he gained a deeper understanding of Yang Mei's intention—what he left behind was not just a piece of material, but also a prototype of a highly malleable vessel!
The moment his Divine Sense touched the core area of that enormous tree canopy, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred!
A wisp of extremely faint yet pure thought, accompanied by a faint silver-gray Spatial Dao Marks, rippled gently like a drop of water thrown into a lake, and actively came into contact with Jiang Yun's Divine Sense.
The thought contained a trace of familiar Space Law aura, which was none other than... Yang Mei's aura!
This is not Yang Mei himself.
Its main Primordial Spirit and True Spirit had long since reshaped its Chaos Dao body and fled far Beyond Heaven.
This is more like a Dao mark, pre-set deep within the Divine Wood Main Body, like a clone of its Essence Blood.
The message conveyed by that trace of intent was extremely simple and direct. There were no greetings, no pleasantries, only a profound Spatial Dao Patterns message and an incredibly clear Spatial Node coordinate.
That node pointed to a core area within the massive tree canopy, where the veins of the leaves converged like the Return to Origin all things.
"Central hub... Core Imprint..." Jiang Yun instantly deciphered the meaning of the message.
That point is the key to understanding the remains of this Hollow Willow tree and controlling this Hollow Great Thousand World!
The true value of the gift from Old Ancestor Yang Mei is now revealed.
He not only left behind the materials, but also the key to unlocking and mastering this precious gift.
This wondrous relic, silent for countless ages and awaiting its unlocker, has finally found its way to Jiang Yun.
With his gaze fixed on the core of the tree canopy, Jiang Yun lingered.
With a slight movement, the Primordial Chaos Dao Body ignored the natural pressure and folds in the space, and with a mysterious rhythm that seemed slow but actually covered thousands of miles in an instant, it transformed into a stream of ethereal Dao trace light, shooting straight towards the core canopy area of Willow Divine Tree that Tongtian.
As he approached, the movement of those millions of leaves seemed to accelerate, radiating an even more dazzling light, as if rejoicing for the "successor" who had been guided there.
