"???"

(ΩДΩ).

Everyone.

Qi?

Mythological Dharma Form?

Mythological Origin?

Mythological Authority?

Your Majesty, you call this entry-level? You call this basic?

Good heavens, no wonder, no wonder at all, no wonder the First Realm could suppress those a full realm higher across boundaries. This is too terrifying, too inconceivable. With such authority, it would be strange if it couldn't suppress across realms.

And still, if the First Realm is like this, then what of the Second Realm? The Third Realm? The Fourth Realm? The Fifth Realm?

"Supreme over the Heavens? Transcending the Heavens?"

Everyone drew in a sharp breath, their minds shaken, their scalps tingling with disbelief.

"Do any of you have questions or doubts?"

Di Jun asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, what is Qi? And how does one condense Qi into runes?"

Bai Ze spoke up as everyone came back to their senses.

This wasn't like the Immortal Dao they cultivated. The Immortal Dao was simply about breathing in spiritual energy and refining it into immortal energy; at deeper levels, one comprehended the heavens and earth, condensed the Great Dao, or even grasped it. It was clear at a glance, with no real difficulty.

But Mythological cultivation touched on an entirely unfamiliar domain. Even though Di Jun had explained the gist, there were naturally still many things they didn't understand.

"Qi is origin, end, energy, spiritual energy, the Great Dao—anything condensed from matter or illusion is Qi. And Qi is the source of all energy, capable of creating energy of any grade or level."

"As for how to condense Qi runes, how do you condense strands of Great Dao insight into a complete Great Dao Rune?"

Di Jun said gently.

"Great Dao Runes. I see."

Everyone understood.

Using different energy elements, with the Great Dao as the core, to construct it—that was complete Qi? That was easy to grasp.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, I understand Dharma Forms, but what is a Mythological Dharma Form? What goal should we aim for when condensing one?"

Fuxi spoke after some deliberation.

"All living beings in the Primordial Wilderness take human form upon transformation. But before transformation? You and Nuwa had human heads and serpent bodies, and the Ancestral Witches had their true forms. These are your true bodies. Condensing a Dharma Form naturally fits best when shaped from your true form."

"As for Mythological—possessing origin, possessing a source, containing uniqueness, bearing fantasy, supremacy, and immortality—these traits are what make something Mythological. It's simply a matter of building these traits onto your Dharma Form, granting it these authorities. That is what makes it Mythological."

"Don't think of it as too high or too difficult. Everything starts from the beginning, shaped and built bit by bit."

"The Human Immortal Realm can be roughly divided into Early, Middle, Late, and Peak stages. Early stage is condensing 'Qi,' Middle stage is condensing the Mythological Form, Late stage is building the Mythological Dharma Form, and Peak stage is grasping the Illusory Authority. This division should help you understand your own level more clearly."

Di Jun explained slowly.

"We are taught."

Fuxi understood, and so did everyone else.

"Your Majesty, what is Illusory Authority?"

Nuwa asked.

"And what is the difference between the two?"

Di Jun didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned his hands over. In his left hand appeared the phantom of a Minor World, while in his right, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire surged, instantly birthing a miniature Minor World.

"Traits. Reality and illusion."

Everyone fell into thought.

"In the Human Immortal Realm, it's impossible to condense a complete authority—your status isn't high enough. So you settle for a prototype. The complete version is something for the Earth Immortal Realm."

Seeing that Nuwa and the others had grasped it, Di Jun spoke slowly.

"We are taught."

Nuwa said gratefully.

"Does anyone still have questions?"

Di Jun swept his gaze across the crowd. Seeing no one speak, he turned his eyes to the Ten Heavenly Sages and said, "The reason I granted Nuwa and the others the method for Mythological Status but not you is precisely this."

"Mythological Status has its own particularities, and not everyone can wield it. If you cultivated it without enough talent or authority, it might not only fail to benefit you but could even trap you forever in your current realm. The Mythological Cultivation System is different."

"Think of it this way: one is specialization, the other is universal. The universal path may be ordinary, but it cultivates faster. And if you cultivate it to the absolute peak, you can still comprehend your own Mythological Status—it's just a different route."

The Ten Heavenly Sages had joined the Heavenly Court when it was first established and had long labored with merit. So when an explanation was due, Di Jun gave it. Even if the Ten Heavenly Sages wouldn't hold any resentment, Di Jun understood the art of governing subordinates well.

Teach everyone the Mythological Status and Mythological Law?

Setting aside whether he could even deduce that many, the biggest problem was whether everyone could actually cultivate it. Looking at Taiyi, Nuwa, and the others—every single one was a top-tier great power of the Primordial Wilderness, each excelling in some domain.

Others might not be so fortunate—this goes without saying, and there's no need to elaborate further.

"We understand." "We understand." "We understand."

The Ten Heavenly Sages quickly rose, bowing deeply to Di Jun with reverence and admiration.

"Make all preparations. Once all beings of the Heavenly Court have converted to the Mythological Cultivation System, that will be the moment of the Heavenly Court's complete transformation."

"The various departments of the Heavenly Court are in chaos, and their orders are not yet perfected. When the Heavenly Court suppresses the Primordial Wilderness, that will be the time for the great enfeoffment."

Di Jun spoke with resolute force.

The day of the great enfeoffment!

Enfeoffing the gods!

Enfeoffing the departments!

Let the might of the Heavenly Court suppress the entire Primordial Wilderness!!!

As for why there were no enfeoffments now, why the movements of the Heavenly Court's departments were somewhat chaotic?

If the Heavenly Court was weak, what meaning was there in doing so much? It would all be child's play. Without the foundation and capability, no amount of effort would help. It was better to wait until the Heavenly Court reached that level before perfecting things.

"Yes!!!" "Yes!!!" "Yes!!!"

The high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court were stirred, rising one after another and shouting loudly.

"Your Majesty, regarding the Purple Mansion—"

Taiyi began to ask.

"There are still some matters I have yet to decide. Once they are settled, that will be the time to suppress the Purple Mansion. However, you no longer need to hide too much."

"East King Duke will likely raise an army to attack the Heavenly Realm before long. When that happens, let the beings of the Primordial Wilderness truly know what trembling means. We'll also see how much the Chaos Demon Gods have bet on East King Duke. If they've bet nothing, then the Purple Mansion need not exist any longer."

Di Jun said with a light laugh.

"As you decree."

Taiyi's eyes lit up, and everyone couldn't help but grin.

For the sake of the Heavenly Court's grand plan, they had deliberately held back each time. If it wasn't necessary, who would enjoy hiding? What meaning was there in cultivation if not to become formidable?

Finally able to unseal themselves?

That would be wonderful!

Not to mention them, even Di Jun was looking forward to the day when the entire Heavenly Court cultivated the Mythological System and unleashed their full power—what expressions would the beings of the Primordial Wilderness wear? What thoughts would the various great powers and strong cultivators have?

Trembling!

Absolute trembling!!!

That scene would certainly be amusing.

"Your Majesty, the Dao Ancestor and the Chaos Demon Gods seem to be playing a game of chess. If the Heavenly Court reveals its full foundation, will it make them wary? If so, that could breed hidden dangers."

Fuxi spoke thoughtfully.

"As long as my strength remains hidden, there will be no issue. As for you all, those below the Mixed Origin are but ants—would they care?"

"Moreover, I already have some guesses about their intentions, though they are not yet confirmed. That's why I need to use East King Duke to understand the details. If I'm not mistaken, the stronger we become, the happier Hongjun will be. So there's no need to worry too much."

Di Jun shook his head, speaking with profound meaning.

The crowd fell into thought, then tactfully bowed and withdrew.

His Majesty surely needed to cultivate the Mythological Cultivation System, and as for them, it was time to cultivate as well!!!

"Convert to the Mythological System..."

Watching everyone leave, Di Jun's gaze grew deep as he slowly closed his eyes.

A magnificent chapter was about to unfold!
