Spirit Wood Daoist Departs, Leaving Insights on the Law of Life

Before the Heaven Opening, the chaos fell into an eerie calm—the golden light gate hung in midair, radiating energy capable of destroying heaven and earth, yet it made no further move; the surrounding Chaos Turbulence ceased its frenzy, and the Spatial Rifts stopped expanding, as if the entire world was waiting for Senior Pangu's Heaven Opening Axe to fall. Lin Yue, huddled at the core of the Space Vitality Domain, could clearly sense the Law of Heaven Opening rapidly coalescing around Pangu, the outline of the Heaven Opening Axe growing sharper by the moment, the golden patterns on its axe body flowing like living things, exuding a pressure that made one's heart tremble.

Just then, a streak of green light flew in from the chaos, landing outside the golden Guardian Shield—it was Spirit Wood Daoist. He had clearly come to say goodbye, holding in his hand a scroll made of tree bark, which was the life law insights he had promised to give Lin Yue earlier.

"Little one, the Heaven Opening is about to begin, and I've come to deliver your final gift," Spirit Wood Daoist's voice came through the Guardian Shield, tinged with relief. "This is the essence of the life law I've spent my whole life comprehending. It records the technique of the 'Vitality Cycle,' allowing your life law to form a closed loop. Even without external vitality energy, you can sustain yourself, which will be very useful amid the Chaos Turbulence of the Heaven Opening."

Lin Yue quickly manipulated his Spatial Domain to approach the Guardian Shield and took the scroll. The scroll felt warm and smooth in his hands, the bark's veins containing faint vitality energy. As soon as it touched the Spatial Domain, it automatically merged into the domain's core, resonating with his life law. He could feel the knowledge in the scroll flooding into his mind like a tide—the principles, techniques, and application scenarios of the "Vitality Cycle" appeared clearly before him. In simple terms, it involved combining one's own vitality energy with the Law of Space to form a small "vitality space," using Space Folding to achieve energy circulation without relying on external replenishment.

"Thank you, Senior Spirit Wood! This gift is too precious!" Lin Yue said excitedly. During the Heaven Opening, the Chaos Turbulence would devour all energy, including vitality energy, and the "Vitality Cycle" technique was exactly what he needed to solve that problem, allowing him to maintain life and domain operation even in the chaos.

Spirit Wood Daoist smiled, then turned his gaze toward Pangu, bowing respectfully: "Senior Pangu, this junior takes his leave now, to notify the other Demon Gods to prepare and await the Heaven Opening."

Pangu did not open his eyes, only nodding slightly in acknowledgment. Seeing this, Spirit Wood Daoist lingered no longer, waved at Lin Yue, transformed into a streak of green light, and vanished into the depths of the chaos. Before leaving, he left behind a wisp of pure vitality energy, which merged into Lin Yue's Spatial Domain—the domain's faint green glow instantly became richer, and the activation speed of the Vitality Cycle doubled.

Lin Yue watched the direction where Spirit Wood Daoist had disappeared, his heart full of gratitude. From the guidance during their first chance encounter, to the gift of the Life Leaf, and then the life law insights and the "Vitality Cycle" technique, Spirit Wood Daoist had been silently helping him all along. This kindness, he kept in his heart.

He returned to the domain core and immediately began comprehending the "Vitality Cycle." Following the scroll's instructions, he first condensed a small "vitality space" in his Dantian, then used the Law of Space to fold it, connecting it to his own vitality energy. At first, the circulating energy was very weak, barely enough to sustain basic life needs. But as he continuously adjusted the angle of the Space Folding and the amount of vitality energy injected, the cycle's efficiency grew higher and higher, until finally achieving "self-sufficiency"—even without absorbing external energy, he could sustain the Spatial Domain and his own consumption through the cycle.

"Success!" Lin Yue opened his eyes excitedly. Now, with the Space Vitality Domain, the Chaos Little Light Orb, and the Vitality Cycle—three guarantees in hand—his chances of surviving the Heaven Opening had greatly increased. He looked toward Pangu and found the senior watching him, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"Senior, this junior is ready!" Lin Yue said firmly.

Pangu nodded slightly, slowly stood up, and walked before the golden light gate. He reached out his right hand and grasped the outline of the Heaven Opening Axe. The axe body instantly erupted with dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire chaos. The energy of the Heaven Opening Axe resonated with the energy of the golden light gate, and a pressure far beyond imagination enveloped everything, even causing space to twist violently.

"The Heaven Opening... has begun!" Lin Yue's heart pounded wildly. He completely withdrew himself and Kong Yu into the core of the Space Vitality Domain, activated the Vitality Cycle, and released all the Chaos Little Light Orbs to merge into the domain, ready to withstand the impact of the Heaven Opening. He knew that a world-creating upheaval that would change the very structure of chaos was about to unfold, and he, alongside Senior Pangu, would witness this historic moment—and fight with all his might for his own survival.
