Break Through Life and Death to See the Great Way; Nine-Turn Divine Art Forges the Future (Continued)

Yun Xiao was utterly moved. Even with her current state of mind, she was shaken to the core!

In the Primordial Wilderness, "nine" was the utmost limit.

But beyond "nine" came the notion of "twelve" as Perfection!

Few beings in the Primordial Wilderness had ever heard of such Perfection.

Because this kind of Perfection had already transcended the Primordial Wilderness entirely!

In other words, Yun Xiao's future potential would surpass the ultimate power the Primordial Wilderness could bear!

"Where did this mysterious stone bead come from?"

Yun Xiao examined the stone bead she had found in Yellow Weasel's cave, marveling inwardly.

This seemingly ordinary bead could let the Three Flowers above her head surpass their limits and reach Perfection!

She would never have dared dream of such a thing before!

"Buzz—"

Just then, the Three Flowers above the Auspicious Cloud underwent another strange transformation!

After reaching Perfection, an aura of the Great Dao spread from the Three Flowers. Runes and radiant light intertwined across Yingzhou Island, forming auspicious signs that covered the sky!

At that moment, Great Dao runes suddenly welled up in Yun Xiao's eyes, twinkling like stars as they seemed to reveal the mysteries of the myriad heavens and realms. It was as though a single thought could bring her understanding of all things!

At the same time, as the Three Flowers swayed, their shadows intertwined, manifesting the phantom image of a Thirty-Six-Petaled Green Lotus, beneath which Yun Xiao was illuminated!

In that instant, she felt something stir in her heart.

"Flowers bloom in Perfection. Each flower is a world, each world a Dao. The Dao governs heaven and earth."

Yun Xiao sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, her hands moving in an esoteric rhythm.

"Transcend the Five Elements, roam freely through heaven and earth, and cast off all shackles."

Yun Xiao's figure appeared and disappeared, seemingly present in this world, yet leaving no trace of her aura.

"Great Luo is great freedom, great liberation, great joy, great ease."

An inexplicable delight rose within Yun Xiao, as if she had been released from some kind of restraint. Her whole body felt wonderfully light.

At last, she brought her hands together and softly uttered, "Arise."

"Rumble!"

The next moment, an aura transcending space and time burst from her body. Vast immortal light broke through the Time Flow Restriction and gathered above Yingzhou Island, forming a mighty river!

Like waves sifting sand, like surging waters sweeping clouds!

In that instant, countless universes took shape in Yun Xiao's eyes, and countless stars unfolded. It was as if she were deducing the origins of all living beings and tracing history back to its very end!

Primordial Spirit Grand Unity Golden Immortal—established!

Yun Xiao felt herself enter an incomparably wondrous state. Countless spells came readily to hand, and billions of thoughts flashed by in an instant. Even the world before her seemed utterly transformed.

"If the Primordial Spirit can attain Great Luo, then the body can break through those shackles too."

Her expression was composed, as if she had reached a transcendent state where nothing could trouble her. She comprehended the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique while refining the remaining Pangu Jade Marrow in her body.

Four hundred years passed under the Time Flow Restriction.

On this day, a terrifying pressure belonging to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal swept forth. It rolled out like countless Ancient Stars falling from the heavens, and all of Yingzhou Island shook violently!

By then, Yun Xiao had completely refined the Pangu Jade Marrow, and the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique had advanced to the middle stage of the fourth revolution.

The physical body had reached the middle stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!

Green Light flowed around Yun Xiao's entire body. Each ray pressed the void until it wailed. With a casual lift of her hand, she seemed capable of plucking the stars and moon from the heavens and setting them in a jeweled tray. It was truly astonishing!

"What exactly is the origin of this mysterious little black stone bead?"

After her breakthrough, she intended to continue studying the black stone bead.

But just then, an inexplicable force suddenly pulled at her. In an instant, it enveloped her Primordial Spirit and began drawing it upward.

"Is this... the free contemplation of heaven and earth that follows attaining Great Luo?"

In that moment, Yun Xiao understood.

A Grand Unity Golden Immortal leapt beyond heaven and earth, transcending the Five Elements.

Every being who attained Great Luo had the chance to leap beyond the Primordial Wilderness and observe the entirety of its world.

So Yun Xiao opened her mind and let the force carry her Primordial Spirit upward.

Her Primordial Spirit had taken the form of a green orb of light. In the blink of an eye, it had pierced through Yingzhou Island's Innate Restriction and flown into an unknown, distant space.

She could even see her physical body, sitting cross-legged inside the Time Flow Restriction like a stone statue, until it dwindled into a tiny black speck.

Who knew how long passed before Yun Xiao felt the world spin around her, as though she had crossed countless heavens and worlds in an instant.

At last, the orb of light that was her Primordial Spirit came to a halt.

When she saw what lay before her, Yun Xiao couldn't help but pause in surprise.

The scene before her was not some mysterious place, as she had imagined, but a landscape of lush mountains and clear waters!

The mountains were so tall that their peaks were invisible. She could only make out what seemed to be streams flowing down them, joining into rivers that vanished into the unknown void, cut off from this place.

Yun Xiao tried to float upward to investigate, but a tremendously powerful force held her back. In the end, she had no choice but to give up.

"This looks just like the most ordinary scenery in the Primordial Wilderness. What does it have to do with contemplating heaven and earth?"

Yun Xiao looked around in confusion. Since she couldn't climb the mountains, she fixed her gaze on the river beside her instead.

The river flowed quietly, winding beneath her feet and running toward a distant place beyond sight.

Its waters were clear to the bottom, revealing everything within.

And yet, just like the surrounding mountains, the river stretched on without end.

It seemed ordinary, but as with the mountains she couldn't climb, it was as though everything were veiled in mist, keeping her from seeing the whole picture.

But if it was special, then aside from being impossible to examine, she couldn't say what made it so.

"This is!"

Just then, as Yun Xiao studied the river, the orb of light that was her Primordial Spirit trembled slightly!

At the bottom of the river, she saw a winding pile of stones, like a spine running across its northern reaches!

She knew that shape all too well.

It was unmistakably Buzhou Mountain from the Primordial Wilderness!

Around Buzhou Mountain, countless points of light were moving. Some shone brilliantly, while others were dim.

If she had guessed correctly, they were members of the Qilin Clan, who lived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain!

"Could this river reflect the entire Primordial Wilderness?"

"Could it even contain the true spirit lights of countless living beings?"

Yun Xiao's heart jolted. At the same time, memories of the Primordial Wilderness from her past life brought the river's name to mind.

The Fate River!

The Fate River of the Primordial Wilderness was the collective manifestation of the fates of its countless living beings!

The fate of every being in the Primordial Wilderness, and the form of the entire world, were reflected in this seemingly ordinary river, which was in fact supremely mysterious!

"This stone looks like Kunlun Mountain."

"That one looks a little like Shouyang Mountain."

"Is this water within the water the four seas of the Primordial Wilderness?"

As she traveled upstream, Yun Xiao's Primordial Spirit orb drifted past countless famous mountains, rivers, and landscapes in the Fate River.

At that moment, she was like a god gazing down upon the entire Primordial Wilderness, taking in every mountain, every river, and the distribution of every living being!

Before she knew it, Yun Xiao had reached the middle reaches of the river.

Here, the river had divided into a dense web of tributaries. Each was narrow, but stretched just as far as the eye could see, spreading outward like a spider's web.

"Are these the myriad heavens and worlds beneath the Primordial Wilderness?" Yun Xiao murmured.

The Primordial Wilderness was not alone in the vast universe.

Beneath it lay countless greater worlds, middle worlds, lesser worlds, and other worlds of every kind.

These worlds beneath the Primordial Wilderness formed countless tributaries, which together with the Primordial Wilderness made up the boundless Fate River!

At the bottom of each tributary, one could see the overall shape of its world, with countless points of light darting through the waters like fish.

Compared with the main current of the Fate River—the Primordial Wilderness—the lights in the tributaries were much dimmer.

Even the brightest barely matched the radiance of the Primordial Wilderness's innate races. They were probably only at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level.

"Splash—"
