The Heavenly Realm Appears, Slaying the Rebirth Aspect!

As the electronic sound echoed in his ears once more, Ye Xuan couldn't help but sink into thought.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, though they would be drawn into the Measure Tribulation, were still twelve supreme powerhouses. Daoist Houtu, in particular, would become a Lord of Reincarnation in the future. Befriending them would bring him some benefit.

Moreover, he could obtain a Method of Becoming a Saint through Physical Body. But after some deliberation, Ye Xuan felt the Method of Nascent Soul Becoming a Saint suited him better, so he spoke.

[Ding Dong!]

[Host has chosen to ignore. A Method of Nascent Soul Becoming a Saint is being issued. Please check it yourself.]

After Ye Xuan spoke, another supreme Dharma Gate entered his Nascent Soul. Its name was the Heaven-Bearing Primordial Spirit Divine Embryo Dao Canon. Once perfected, it would allow him to enter a Great Thousand World and carve out a Saint's seat within its Heavenly Dao.

Once established, it would be no different from a native Saint, but with greater freedom. In the end, he could even seize control of the Heavenly Dao itself. It was a supreme method of becoming a Saint, no less than the Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses.

Seeing another supreme Dharma Gate in his grasp, Ye Xuan entered secluded cultivation once more.

Another ten thousand years passed. Ye Xuan's aura rose another level. Endless Power of Karma flowed into his Dao Fruit, and he established a mysterious principle within it.

He slashed down with a Wisdom Sword at himself, and his Rebirth Aspect was sure to emerge. As the boundless Power of Karma poured in, fixing the fruit in the unseen, Ye Xuan shouted at himself.

"Rebirth Aspect, emerge!"

As Ye Xuan spoke, his supreme Nascent Soul power acted like a Wisdom Sword, cutting down at him.

With that single slash, a clear chime rang out from the unseen. The void trembled. All the countless fragments between Ye Xuan and his past were severed in one breath, and the endless Power of Karma was shed along with them.

Watching the boundless Innate Spiritual Qi surge like a storm into the figure forming before him, Ye Xuan let out a long breath. His entire body felt light. All the karma between heaven and earth and himself was now completely severed.

The endless Innate Spiritual Qi, like a hurricane, rushed into the Rebirth Aspect. Another thousand years passed before a Daoist stepped out. He was identical to Ye Xuan in every way.

The only difference was that Ye Xuan bore not a trace of karma on him.

Seeing this, a look of great joy appeared on Ye Xuan's face. He waved his hand, and the Rebirth Aspect merged back into his true body, layering another coat of karma upon him.

"Back then, if the Dao Ancestor had possessed this supreme great divine power, he wouldn't have had to go through all that trouble to pass down the Path of Becoming a Sage through Three Corpses to the Innate God-Demons. After the Devil Ancestor self-destructed, he still bore some karma, but all that karma lies in the past. What does it have to do with the original body?"

Every instant, a sliver of the Power of Time passed, carrying all of Ye Xuan's power into the Rebirth Aspect.

Every bit of strength Ye Xuan gained, the Rebirth Aspect gained as well. The two were in perfect sync.

This supreme great divine power was even above the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. The latter could summon three copies of oneself at once, each with the same combat power, but if they stayed out too long, they would dissipate.

"Good!"

Just as Ye Xuan was satisfied with the Rebirth Aspect, another electronic sound reached his ears.

[Ding Dong!]

[Detected that in a thousand years, the Thirty-Three Heavens will emerge on Mount Buzhou. Please choose from the options below.]

[Option One: Beat the Demon Emperor and others to Mount Buzhou, seize the Thirty-Three Heavens, and merge them into your own Dao Fruit within the Three Thousand Heavens. Complete the task to receive one Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.]

[Option Two: Stay steady and do nothing. Let the Demon Emperor and the others take them. Complete the task to receive one Supreme Dao Field!]

Hearing this, Ye Xuan's face showed a hint of contemplation. Once the Thirty-Three Heavens appeared, the Heavenly Court would be established.

After the Demon Emperor and the others built the Heavenly Court, the Witch Clan would emerge, and the next Measure Tribulation would begin. For himself and the countless beings in the West, there was no great danger.

The West was too barren. Only after the others had finished fighting would they come to incorporate the West and make him the first Great Heavenly Venerate.

Until the fighting was over, neither side would make a move.

After some thought, Ye Xuan looked at the light screen.

"Twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls?"

Seeing that seizing the Thirty-Three Heavens would grant him twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, Ye Xuan's face showed a flicker of interest.

The Sea-Calming Divine Pearls were the Ancestor Dragon's companion treasure. There were thirty-six in total. Combined, they could serve as an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Each individual Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing the power of an entire sea. They held supreme might and could even open up a world within. In later ages, Daoist Randeng would use them to open the Twenty-Four Heavens.

But after thinking it over, Ye Xuan decided against it. The Thirty-Three Heavens themselves were destined to belong to the Heavenly Court within the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, above the Thirty-Three Heavens lay the endless stars, tied to one of the three great killing formations—the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation. If he took them, not only would Emperor Taiyi and the others become his enemies, but even the Dao Ancestor would keep a constant eye on him.

Emperor Taiyi and his group might have an Innate Supreme Treasure, but Ye Xuan wasn't alone either. The Dao Ancestor, however, was different. A Saint's power was immense. A mere Thirty-Three Heavens wasn't worth the trouble!

"I'll choose the second option. Ignore it!"

As he spoke, another electronic sound entered Ye Xuan's ears.

[Ding Dong!]

[Host has chosen to ignore. A Supreme Dao Field is being issued. Please check it yourself.]

Half a day passed, but no Supreme Dao Field appeared. Only a location entered Ye Xuan's Nascent Soul.

Seeing that nothing was issued except a location, Ye Xuan shook his head. It seemed he really would have to end his seclusion. If he kept cultivating and someone else took it, wouldn't he have to fight to get it back?

"This is..."

After checking the location, a look of ecstasy appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes.

"It's Fangzhang, one of the Three Immortal Islands of Penglai!"

Each Immortal Island was itself a supreme treasure, and within the island lay supreme rare treasures.

He already possessed an Innate Spiritual Treasure called the Sky-Probing Instrument. It could generate a layer of karma on him. Once used, even a Saint couldn't trace him. And with his Great Dao of Hiding, no one could find his true body.

As for the West, he had a Rebirth Aspect there to act as his main body.

On that aspect rested every strand of Ye Xuan's karma.

"Good!"

After making his arrangements, a mist shrouded Ye Xuan's body as he headed toward the boundless East Sea.
