Slay the Past Body, I Am Heaven!

Meanwhile, outside the great array, Lei Jun's expression was slightly odd.

Although he had already withdrawn his gaze from the Innate Great Array, he could clearly hear every word of the conversation between Nüwa and Fuxi.

Nothing else—

Under the empowerment of the world's power, His perception was such that a mere Innate Great Array could not block it at all.

Because, in essence, the power of the Innate Great Array was identical to the power that had caused his "Heavenly Dao Transformation"—both originated from the Primordial Wilderness!

And perception was precisely the key to his Heavenly Dao Transformation.

If he could not perceive the world, How could he merge with it?

Of course, given Lei Jun's current degree of resonance with the Heavenly Dao, his physical body and Magic power could not penetrate the Innate Great Array.

After all, Lei Jun was not the true Heavenly Dao; he was merely Acting on Behalf of Heaven to Execute Punishment, having obtained a sliver of authority.

Thus, aside from being able to perceive and know what was happening inside the Innate Great Array, he could do nothing else, accomplish nothing!

Yet Nüwa had said that Lei Jun had left an opportunity within her...

Was there?

How could I not know?

Harboring this doubt, Lei Jun raised his hand and made a calculation.

Then, he understood in an instant.

"So it's related to my past life's identity as a human!"

"Although my current life has a Defying Heaven origin, my past life was always human."

"Thus, I formed a connection with the Holy Mother of humanity, Nüwa, and gave her an opportunity..."

Then the question arose.

Should he sever this opportunity?

Clearly, If Lei Jun did so, Nüwa's opportunity would be cut off.

"Forget it!"

"Past life's cause, this life's effect!"

"With my Dao and method, repaying Nüwa's Grace of Creating Humanity—this is only fitting!"

After thinking it over, Lei Jun chose not to sever the opportunity.

Because there was no need.

If someone cultivated his Dao, it had no impact on him.

Moreover, it could sever the karmic ties between him and Nüwa—this was a good thing.

It would be of great use for Lei Jun's future Dao!

Cultivation in the Primordial Wilderness involved cultivating the past, present, and future—the Three Lifetimes Body.

Only by cultivating the Three Lifetimes Body could one truly leap out of the River of Time!

Lei Jun had long had this idea.

He had even attempted it.

Unfortunately, he had failed.

At the time, he thought it was because his realm was insufficient.

But now, he understood: the Past Body had nothing to do with cultivation realm; the key lay in a single word—sever!

Sever the past dust, settle past affairs, and only then could one enter the Dao.

Lei Jun suddenly realized:

"So before, I couldn't sever the Past Body because the karmic ties of being human had not yet been completely cut off!"

"Now that I have repaid the karma, it is only right to sever the past and illuminate my own self!"

"Past Body..."

"Sever!"

Lei Jun let out a soft shout, and his Dao body rumbled.

The Small World within him trembled.

A wisp of mud pellet transformed into a cluster of qi, rising from within Lei Jun's body before finally settling into his lower dantian. This is called: the Qi Sea!

In an instant, Lei Jun's aura became even more elusive and unfathomable.

From then on, even beings with cultivation higher than his could no longer deduce his past, nor could they reverse the timeline to erase him from his origin.

This "time" did not refer solely to the Primordial Wilderness.

But to all dimensions of space-time!

This was equivalent to... stepping ashore!

No longer sinking in the bitter sea, but having already crossed to the other side.

The past that had been severed did not simply vanish. Instead, as it was now, it condensed into a cluster of qi, much like a dan pill, or rather, a Dao Seed!

It settled in the lower dantian, operating constantly, erasing the past!

Because the past is generated at every moment! Only by ceaseless action could one ensure that no trace ever remained!

This was the function of the Past Body!

Of course, this was only one aspect.

As for its greater role, Lei Jun could not yet comprehend it.

"Is this Past Body not just a cluster of qi, but more like a seed?"

"A Dao Seed!"

Planting a Dao Seed in the dantian!

Once the seed took root and sprouted, what strange phenomena would it give rise to?

If it bloomed and bore fruit, what flower would the Dao Seed produce, and what fruit would it yield?

There was no need to guess!

It would be the Dao Flower, the Dao Fruit!

Moreover, this was only the lower dantian!

There are three dantians.

Divided into upper, middle, and lower.

The Qi Sea is the lower dantian, the Yellow Court is the middle dantian, and the Purple Mansion is the upper dantian.

"Since the Qi Sea can plant a Dao Seed, can the other two dantians also plant one?!"

"And they would correspond to the Present Body and the Future Body!"

"In other words, all of them can bloom and bear fruit?"

"Then if the upper, middle, and lower dantians all bloom, could it be said that..."

"Three Flowers Gathering on the Crown?"

"But these three flowers are not the same as those three flowers! They differ from the Primordial Wilderness!"

After Hongjun attained sainthood.

He passed down the Immortal Dao.

From then on, when cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness broke through to Da Luo, they generally spoke of "Three Flowers Gathering on the Crown," which was further divided into grades.

That is, into three, six, and nine classes.

But those three flowers referred to "Essence, Qi, and Spirit."

Not like Lei Jun's case.

His were the Three Lifetimes Body!

Of course, it was still far from the time when the three flowers would bloom.

Let alone bearing the Dao Fruit.

But this meant that the ceiling was high!

Suddenly, Lei Jun was filled with anticipation.

Beyond that, the severing of the Past Body also pointed Lei Jun in a direction.

It would save him many detours in the future.

"Marvelous!"

Lei Jun withdrew his Divine Sense.

He sighed with emotion.

He did not even pay much attention to the fact that severing the Past Body had consumed several more kalpas.

This was the Primordial Wilderness, after all.

Time was worthless.

Most importantly, Lei Jun's current strength had been greatly enhanced.

Besides the Past Body, there was also the Small Heaven!

"After breaking through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal for so long, it's finally undergone a qualitative change!"

"My cultivation has also increased a thousandfold, even ten thousandfold!"

"The Seven-Nine Lightning Tribulation can be unleashed with a single thought!"

It was hard to imagine.

Within the same minor realm, strength could differ by ten thousand times!

This was Lei Jun.

If it were anyone else—say, from some other fantasy world—there would probably be several major realms split out in between!

But Lei Jun was just that straightforward.

He didn't use cultivation or strength as a standard of division.

Whether it was onefold or a billionfold, only the realm mattered!

Once the realm was reached, nothing else mattered.

Because the realm was a level, while cultivation was merely accumulation.

Accumulation only had speed and quantity, not difficulty or ease.

The level was different.

If you couldn't comprehend it, you couldn't comprehend it—no amount of accumulation would help!

If Lei Jun hadn't comprehended the ability to transform his body into a world, he wouldn't have even set foot on the path of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

He might still be tirelessly splitting particles into worlds, searching for a more efficient method of creation.

Even if his cultivation grew, what then?

If he couldn't jump out of that circle, he would never count as someone outside it.

"Right now, if I were in the Primordial Wilderness, what realm would I be in?"

"Definitely above Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal! That's beyond doubt!"

"Comparable to a Golden Immortal of the Origin?"

Lei Jun thought.

Before the Dragon-Han Calamity ended, the Primordial Wilderness had no such thing as a Quasi-Saint.

Only Golden Immortals of the Origin.

This was a realm that Primordial Wilderness cultivators had carved out between Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and Primal Chaos Saint.

Because attaining Primal Chaos Saint was simply too difficult, and the gap between the two was far too vast.

As a result, the difference in cultivation among various Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals was enormous!

Hence the term Golden Immortal of the Origin.

It could also be called Quasi-Saint.

"But still, speculating about combat power is ultimately unreliable—I need actual combat!"

"No matter, there are the beasts!"

Lei Jun grinned.

Others fled from the beasts, but in his eyes, every single one of them was a treasure!

Besides gaining Sources of Blessing and increasing luck, they could also test injuries!

Could it get any better?

And at the outskirts of Mount Buzhou, weren't there countless beasts lurking?

With a thought, Lei Jun's form manifested from the void.

Instantly, a Strange Phenomenon erupted!

Endless purple qi came from the east, stretching across the Three Thousand Realms!

The "three thousand" here is a figurative reference.

It represents the meaning of boundlessness.

Boom!

Appearing alongside the purple qi.

Was the lightning tribulation!

The entire sky, the celestial mountains thundered, lightning seas roiled, and the sound of the Great Dao permeated everything, like the death knell of the world's end.

With a single thought, lightning clouds burst forth, deafening and jarring!

This was the Seven-Nine Lightning Tribulation!

And it was brewing toward the level of the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation!

No!

"It should be called the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"At this moment..."

"I am the heavens!"

Lei Jun's indifferent voice exploded across heaven and earth.

Echoing throughout the entire Buzhou.
