Ruler-Pearl Unity, Forging the Great Dao Ruler, Fixing Yin-Yang and Heaven-Earth!

After countless more eons, within the Pure Land of Spiritual Mountain, in the Dao Seeking Palace, Ye Xuan gazed at the Heaven Measuring Ruler in his hand and the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, his expression grave.

Since Ye Xuan entered secluded cultivation, countless ages had passed once more. During this time, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and the Heaven Measuring Ruler, both top-grade innate spiritual treasures, had long been fully refined by Ye Xuan. Looking at the boundless divine light blazing upon these two treasures in his hands, he let out a long breath.

In midair, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls resembled twenty-four Chaos Embryos. Within each pearl lay a scene of the Primordial Beginning, like a universe condensed into a tiny space.

In Ye Xuan's hands, this innate spiritual treasure truly unleashed its divine might.

The true mystery of this treasure did not lie in wielding endless innate divine water for attack, nor in developing a world; its wonder was in the character "calming."

It could stabilize a stretch of void, and even fix the power of nothingness.

Yet this mystery only manifested in Ye Xuan's hands. Where he stood, the endless innate chaos spiritual qi was also pacified. If fully unleashed, even boundless chaos qi could be settled.

Having grasped this profundity, a hint of gravity flickered in Ye Xuan's eyes. He poured infinite law power into the treasures, directly smashing the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls together.

In an instant, it was as if the scene of the creation of heaven and earth replayed. Within the twenty-four pearls, a thread of origin power surged forth, mysterious beyond words. Watching this, Ye Xuan also offered up the Heaven Measuring Ruler, swallowing that wisp of origin qi into it. Every great dao rune on the ruler's body blazed, like a hurricane devouring the origin qi, making it even more ineffably noble.

Seeing the two begin to merge, joy spread across Ye Xuan's face. He struck again and again, forcing them to collide.

After another thirty thousand years, all the origin power within the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had entered the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Boom!"

Above the Spiritual Mountain, endless strange phenomena appeared once more. Most of the innate spiritual qi in the Western Continent flowed into the mountain.

If not for Daoist Zhunti using boundless Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to repair the West, this single treasure alone would have drained the Western Continent's innate spiritual qi dry!

On the ruler's body, images of ancient tribes, birds, beasts, fish, insects, sun, moon, and stars emerged. After this innate spiritual treasure fully merged with the Heaven Measuring Ruler, it gradually solidified, as if birthing a spark of sentience. At the ruler's head and tail, a strand of innate yin-yang qi was imprinted.

Upon the Heaven Measuring Ruler, a yin-yang true dragon took shape, its scales and claws vivid, its cry clear and resonant. This gave the treasure the subtle power to settle earth, fire, water, and wind, and harmonize yin and yang.

At the ruler's edge, twenty-four mysterious runes appeared, each like a realm seed, enabling it not only to measure heaven and earth but also to create new worlds.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan's face brimmed with delight.

After the ruler and pearls merged, this innate spiritual treasure was perfected, condensing forty-eight innate indestructible spiritual lights in one breath.

It not only possessed the wonder of measuring heaven but could also open a world, connect the three thousand heavens, and separate the endless yin and yang, pure and turbid qi.

The Heaven Measuring Ruler's radiance turned inward, returning to simplicity. Though it merely stood in midair, it exuded a flavor of "ten thousand daos yield."

"Excellent!"

Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Both the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and the Heaven Measuring Ruler had long been fully refined. Their fusion did not diminish his control over the treasure; rather, because he had personally merged them, wielding it became even more effortless.

With a wave of his hand, the innate spiritual treasure entered the three thousand heavens, linking them together.

As long as the Heaven Measuring Ruler existed, even if half the three thousand heavens shattered, as long as sufficient innate spiritual qi remained, countless worlds could be regenerated endlessly. But if all three thousand heavens were destroyed at once, a single Heaven Measuring Ruler would be useless.

"Wonderful!"

Gazing at this scene, Ye Xuan's face showed deep satisfaction, and he entered secluded cultivation once more.

Elsewhere, in the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor's face revealed a glimmer of insight. Though he lacked the Myriad Immortals Great Formation, he was in the Heavenly Court.

Above the nine heavens lay endless star power.

If he used the boundless stars to set up an innate grand array, how mighty would that be?

Having realized this, the Demon Emperor departed for the endless stars. Standing upon a desolate great star, he held the innate spiritual treasure River Diagram and Luo Book, preparing to fathom its mysteries.

[Ding Dong!]

[Detected: Above the nine heavens, Daoist Dijun is using the innate spiritual treasure River Diagram and Luo Book to attempt to deduce the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, one of the Primordial World's three great killing arrays. Please choose below.]

[Choice One: Go to the endless starry sky, attack him, seize his companion-born treasure River Diagram and Luo Book. Complete the task to obtain an Innate Five Elements Grand Formation.]

[Choice Two: Ignore him, stay safe and steady. Obtain a clump of Innate Filthy Qi Origin!]

Ye Xuan was in seclusion when an electronic sound rang in his ear.

Hearing this, he opened his eyes, a thoughtful look on his face.

The Innate Five Elements Grand Formation was also a supreme formation. If he possessed one, his Taiyi Wonderful Divine Light could reach a higher level.

But if the Heavenly Court lacked the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation, how could it ever match the Twelve Ancestral Witches in the future?

After calm deliberation, Ye Xuan shook his head. The Demon Emperor and his kind perishing together with the Twelve Ancestral Witches was a Heavenly Dao trend. Their Emperor's Great Dao, once they ascended to the throne of Great Heavenly Venerate, posed a hidden threat to the Heavenly Dao.

The Emperor's Great Dao made all laws submit. Once seated as Great Heavenly Venerate and advancing to the Realm of Sages, demoting all laws, they could stand equal to the Heavenly Dao. At the Quasi-Saint realm, this dao could even demote the Great Way of Space and the Way of Time. Becoming a sage would only make it stronger.

If the other became a sage, who would be the Heavenly Dao?

As for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they revered only Pangu, not the Heavenly Dao. Like the Demon Emperor, they too had long courted death.

Yet both sides bore immense heavenly fortune. If he schemed a little, it was within tolerance. But if he truly struck, the power of karma, even if the Dao Ancestor had long reached sagehood, could drag him into eternal damnation!

For the Dao Ancestor, the Witch-Demon perishing together was the happiest outcome.

"I choose the second—ignore him!"

After a moment's thought, Ye Xuan spoke.

[Ding Dong!]

[Host chose to ignore, stay steady and not emerge. Innate Turbid Qi Origin power is being distributed. Please inspect on your own.]

After Ye Xuan made his choice, another electronic sound reached his ears.

The next moment, a mass of Origin Qi, black tinged with purple, materialized before Ye Xuan. It was the Innate Turbid Qi Origin. It was this very mass of Origin Power that emitted endless Innate Filthy Qi.

Looking at the mass of Innate Origin Qi now in his hand, a hint of joy appeared on Ye Xuan's face.

Relying on the endless Innate Turbid Qi, after nine turns of his Primordial Spirit, Ye Xuan had only then ascended to the Realm of Quasi-Saint.

However, to advance further, the Innate Filthy Qi was no longer useful to Ye Xuan. He depended entirely on the feedback from the Three Thousand Heavens to bring a slight increase to his Primordial Spirit's power. But with this mass of Innate Filthy Qi Origin, things were different. It could completely elevate Ye Xuan's Primordial Spirit to the next level, ascending to the Quasi-Saint Mid-Stage.

"Excellent!"

If Ye Xuan's Primordial Spirit power advanced another level, then within the Three Thousand Heavens, his Heavenly Dao power would also rise a level, bringing some benefit to Ye Xuan's own path to sainthood.

After taking out the Three Light Divine Water, Ye Xuan once again entered Secluded Cultivation, preparing to push his Primordial Spirit power all the way to the Mid-stage Hunyuan realm in one go.
