One Leaf, One World

At Yang Xuan's point, that blood-red ray of light instantly sank into her brow!

Boom—!!!

Li Yuxuan's entire body jolted violently!

Countless scriptures exploded within her mind!

After receiving all the information, she raised her head and looked at Yang Xuan, her eyes filled with both shock and a trace of unease.

"Fellow Immortal... this cultivation method..."

She trailed off, not knowing how to describe it.

Powerful?

Terrifying!

It simply did not belong to this world!!

Yang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his white robes stirring softly.

He looked at Li Yuxuan, yet his gaze seemed to pass through her as he spoke calmly:

"<Myriad Tribulations Imperishable Blood God Scripture> is merely an 'introduction.'"

"It is a starting point that this poor Daoist deduced based on the path of vital blood in this world."

He raised a hand slightly.

Faint blood-red patterns appeared in the air, weaving together like veins.

Yet in the next instant, they all crumbled apart.

"The people of this world cultivate vital blood to strengthen themselves."

"But this method—"

He paused.

"Reshapes the 'self.'"

Li Yuxuan was somewhat dazed by his words, but she caught hold of one crucial point:

"Then... if I cultivate according to it, can I become stronger?"

Yang Xuan glanced at her and suddenly smiled.

"If you merely cultivate according to it—"

"Then at most, you will become 'the second sample I have deduced.'"

His tone remained gentle.

"The true path is not within the scriptures. It lies within yourself."

Yang Xuan continued, "You are the true masters of this world. This poor Daoist is merely a passerby."

Li Yuxuan drew a deep breath and slowly nodded.

"I understand."

Though she might not have truly understood everything.

She knew one thing:

She had to walk the path of cultivation herself.

Seeing this, Yang Xuan nodded lightly.

He said no more.

Everything that needed to be said had already been said.

He looked up at the sky.

At that moment.

An invisible suppression seemed to quietly emerge between heaven and earth.

The will of the world was already rejecting him.

As an unregistered outsider, once the chat group's Cross-World Projection ceased interfering, he was quickly discovered.

Yang Xuan gave a soft laugh.

"It is about time."

Li Yuxuan froze.

"Fellow Immortal... are you leaving?"

An inexplicable emotion arose in her voice.

"Hahaha, Group Leader, there is no need to dwell on it. This poor Daoist looks forward to the day you stand at the peak of this world. Then, we may sit and discuss the Dao, speak of the mysteries, and deduce the heavens."

As Yang Xuan's words fell.

That invisible suppression between heaven and earth suddenly intensified.

It was as though the entire world was "watching" him.

As if it were saying, "Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll blow up with you!!!"

At this moment, Yang Xuan's figure was already no more than a blurry outline.

For the first time, he regarded her with the air of an elder looking upon a junior.

"The path of vital blood has not yet reached its end."

"If you can continue walking it—"

His voice gradually faded.

Yet it fell clearly into Li Yuxuan's heart:

"This world may not be incapable of giving birth to true—immortals and gods."

As the final word fell.

His figure completely vanished.

Erased by the laws of the Heavenly Dao, even that weed he had smuggled over completely disappeared.

Like the angry act of a child.

Primordial Great Realm.

Deep within Mount Buzhou.

The Primordial Gourd Vine hung down amid chaos.

Faint rivers of stars flowed across its vines.

Every leaf seemed to bear a world of its own.

Suddenly.

One of its leaves trembled lightly.

An exceedingly faint "ripple," like a drop of water, fell into an endless ocean.

In the next instant.

Boom—

Invisible spiritual currents spread through the chaos, causing the surrounding space to collapse and reform layer by layer.

The laws, like threads of silk, were drawn in, woven, and rearranged.

Yang Xuan's will awakened.

"So that is how it is..."

His voice echoed through the chaos.

The memories from that Cross-World Projection had now been completely absorbed.

From descending into that world, resisting its will, and using karma to form a body...

To being forcibly expelled and having the vessel erased.

Every step of the process was recalled with perfect clarity.

"The rejection of a world's will is not directed at 'power.'"

"It is directed at 'an existence that has not been recorded.'"

The verdant vine swayed gently, as though pondering, and as though deducing.

"With karma as an anchor, the rules can be bypassed temporarily."

"But if one does not merge into the world's system of laws, one will ultimately be purged."

At this point.

An exceedingly tiny blood-red pattern suddenly emerged on that leaf, and the laws began gathering of their own accord.

Boundless chaotic qi slowly revolved around that blood-red pattern.

This was precisely the embryonic imprint of the <Myriad Tribulations Imperishable Blood God Scripture>. He had already anchored the high-martial world where the group leader resided.

As that world advanced, this leaf of His would grow with it.

Truly, one leaf, one world!

Yang Xuan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

"My first journey across worlds... I was somewhat inexperienced."

At the thought, Yang Xuan's mood greatly improved.

There were still five worlds in the group waiting for Him to anchor!

He only needed the group members to grow quickly, and He would be able to enjoy the benefits of their worlds' laws!

That way, His cultivation speed would also become quite impressive!

At last, He had a chance to break free from His original fate!

Within the chat group.

Senior-Year Powerhouse: @Immortal, thank you for your help, Fellow Immortal! I have gained a deeper understanding of cultivation!

Immortal: You are too polite, Group Leader. It was merely a small effort.

Looking at the familiar word "Immortal" on the screen, Li Yuxuan could not help but feel reverence rise in her heart.

Since her true circumstances had already been seen through, she might as well be a proper weakling. So long as she kept moving forward, she would sooner or later become a true powerhouse in the group!

Xiao Yan: What happened? Group Leader, stop keeping us in suspense!

Senior-Year Powerhouse: @Xiao Yan, Fellow Immortal helped me perfect my cultivation method.

Xiao Yan: @Immortal Boss! My turn, my turn! Come to my world already!

Zhang Sanfeng: Hehe, young friend Xiao Yan, there is no need to rush. Senior Immortal will come.

Sun Wukong: This Old Sun doesn't care about cultivation methods. So long as I can fight, that's enough!

As Yang Xuan watched the lively discussion in the group, his leaf swayed slightly.

"This bunch has finally been reassured."

With the group leader serving as the example before them, everyone's worries had been dispelled.

"Then shall I go to Xiao Yan's world and test it again?"

With a thought from Yang Xuan, an idea came to Him.

When He had created the Great Burning Heaven Chapter, He had referenced the Battle Through the Heavens World. This time, He could verify His path of devouring.

Moreover, the exotic flames of the Battle Through the Heavens World could also deepen His comprehension of the laws of fire.

"And among my seven innate divine abilities is the Red Gourd, which is related to the laws of fire. By absorbing the laws of exotic flames, there is a high chance I can accelerate the gourd's maturation and speed up the gestation of my divine ability."

At that thought, Yang Xuan was tempted.

"Go! I must go!"

"I need to think of a safer method."

Yang Xuan's gaze fell upon the vines of His true body.

"A leaf contains a trace of my origin. If it takes root and sprouts in the Battle Through the Heavens World, absorbing that world's laws, it can become that world's World Tree..."

"Then not only can I descend there at any time, I can also continuously absorb that world's energy through this leaf!"

"Brilliant!"

The more Yang Xuan considered it, the more feasible it seemed.

Dou Qi Continent, Wutan City.

The rear mountain of the Xiao Clan.

A thin youth sat cross-legged atop a bluish stone, his brows tightly furrowed as he gripped a pitch-black ring in his hand.

"Yao Lao, do you think Senior Immortal will come?"

The youth was Xiao Yan.

Having just seen Li Yuxuan receive Immortal's guidance in the group, he was incomparably envious.

"Hehe, little Yan. For an existence like that, there is no need to worry too much. Cooperate properly, and perhaps you may gain even more."

Yao Lao's voice came from within the ring, carrying the helplessness of someone watching another stumble upon a tremendous fortune yet fail to cherish it properly.

He had also heard Xiao Yan speak of the chat group. He felt some frustration at his failure to meet expectations, regretting that Xiao Yan had not stepped forward at the very beginning.
