Two Divine Abilities

Primordial Great Realm, deep within Mount Buzhou.

The Primordial Gourd Vine swayed gently, radiating a faint chaotic treasure glow. Its aura was as deep as the sea, as though it had merged with heaven and earth.

At that moment, Yang Xuan awoke from his enlightenment.

By his reckoning, more than twenty years had actually passed!

Yet for the other worlds in the chat group, only a little over twenty days had gone by.

To Yang Xuan, these twenty-odd years of secluded cultivation had been more like a novel experiment in creating techniques.

He had immersed his entire mind in deducing laws, even creating two innate divine abilities.

The first divine ability was called the "Myriad Worlds Manifestation Dharma Body."

This divine ability combined the primordial traits of the Primordial Gourd Vine and relied on the status of a True Immortal. It was Yang Xuan's profound analysis of the "origin of worlds."

Through two cross-world journeys, he had gained an entirely new understanding of "planar rejection" and "control over origins," granting him even stronger cross-world abilities.

When he crossed a world barrier, the origin of the Primordial Gourd Vine would transform into invisible tendrils and embed themselves within the Heavenly Dao laws of the target world. Like a seed planted in soil, before the will of the plane could react and reject him, they would draw upon the world's most fundamental laws.

Thereafter, with the Manifestation Dharma Body's support, he would not only be able to perfectly conceal himself within that world's karma and evade the Heavenly Dao's rejection, but also receive treatment similar to that of a "child of the plane" for a short time.

No technique could harm him, his aura would resonate with heaven and earth, and he could even briefly borrow the mighty power of that world's Heavenly Dao.

With a thought from Yang Xuan, a vine leaf lightly swept through the void.

He could now clearly sense that the leaf in the Battle Through the Heavens World had completely merged into its Heavenly Dao, feeding the world's origin back to him while also triggering a "spiritual energy resurgence" in the Battle Through the Heavens World.

In other words, cultivation in the Battle Through the Heavens World would now accelerate, and a Dou Emperor would soon be born!

He estimated that if he drained all the world laws of the Battle Through the Heavens World, he could directly break through to the mid-stage True Immortal realm.

Unfortunately, Yang Xuan's state of mind had yet to reach such cold-blooded ruthlessness.

His current method was more like enlarging the Battle Through the Heavens World's cake, then taking a share from it.

As the Battle Through the Heavens World advanced, it would actively devour the planes around it. Thus, it would encounter all kinds of worlds in the future, devour more laws, and Yang Xuan would benefit from it and raise his cultivation.

His second divine ability was called the "Chaotic Imperishable Seven-Colored Divine Light."

Using the origin laws of the Bone Chilling Flame, Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, and Green Lotus Core Flame that he had obtained from the Battle Through the Heavens World, he completed the laws of "yin and yang" and "creation" within the Immortal Scripture of Creation.

Together with the embryonic form of the Gourd Vine's innate divine ability, he created this divine ability.

Chaos was the beginning of heaven and earth, the origin of all things, and represented the purest vitality of creation between heaven and earth.

The seven colors evolved the five elements and yin and yang, encompassing all myriad phenomena.

This divine ability was no longer limited to Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light's "sweeping away the five elements." It had risen to the supreme level of "conceptual erasure" and "origin reshaping."

Once the divine light emerged, it was neither rainbow nor rosy cloud. As it flowed, it formed its own cycle of the Great Dao. It could destroy all techniques, yet it could also nurture life.

Once enveloped by the divine light, an enemy's flesh and soul would be "burst apart" by endless vitality and rapidly turn to wood. In the end, they would become a lifelike "imperishable statue," sealed forever at the moment when their vitality was at its peak, unable to live or die.

With another thought from Yang Xuan, the phantom of a Primordial Gourd Vine that blotted out the sky faintly appeared behind him. Seven not-yet-fully-ripe primordial gourds hung from its vines, radiating a heart-palpitating chaotic treasure glow.

The embryonic origin of the Seven-Colored Divine Light came from those seven gourds: geng metal, yi wood, gui water, bing fire, wu earth, lunar yin, and solar yang.

Only once these seven primordial gourds fully matured could he completely fuse the seven great primordial laws of yin and yang, the five elements, creation, and more into one furnace, truly mastering this supreme creation-level divine ability.

To activate the complete Seven-Colored Divine Light, he would need at least the strength and cultivation of a Great Luo Immortal.

That was also why, when he awakened, his cultivation was only at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm. It was because he had not yet fully matured!

"Seven gourds, seven supreme laws..."

"Once I cultivate to the Great Luo realm and unleash all seven gourds, even Saints will find it difficult to withstand my Seven-Colored Divine Light!!"

These two divine abilities were Yang Xuan's true foundation for his future plans across the myriad worlds.

With his cultivation temporarily concluded, Yang Xuan opened the chat group, wanting to see what had happened over the past twenty days.

The moment he entered, he saw that Zhang Sanfeng had been looking for him.

Overthrow the Yuan Dynasty?

Would the world retaliate?

It seemed Zhang Sanfeng had sensed the will of the world. After all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was powerful enough to shatter the void in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre World. It was only natural for him to be favored by the will of the world.

Yang Xuan considered it for a moment and soon had an idea.

He planned to use the Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre World as an experimental ground to see whether he could accelerate the growth of his cultivation.

As the saying went, heroes emerged in troubled times, answering heaven's mandate!

Was this not also the operation of the Heavenly Dao's laws? If he accelerated this process and promoted the world's ascension, the benefits he obtained would definitely be considerable.

Even if it was merely a martial arts world, its world origin and Heavenly Dao laws could still be of great use to him.

Mastering laws was equivalent to creating a world from nothing.

If a world created with Great Luo status was called Earth Online, then the world he created would be called Minecraft, possessing only the form.

Only after his realm rose and he comprehended countless laws could he truly create a world with a single thought.

With that thought, Yang Xuan sent a reply.

Immortal: This is merely a change in mortal power. It has not risen to the level of backlash from the world's origin. The Heavenly Dao is impartial; the heart itself is the Heavenly Dao. If you follow heaven and respond to the people, not only will you avoid backlash, but you will also receive the blessing of the world's merit and fortune for benefiting all living beings.

Immortal: However, I must remind you of one thing. If you merely slaughter the imperial court and plunge the world into chaos, leaving the people to suffer, then the karmic sin you create will naturally fall upon your head. But if you suppress the troubled age with thunderous means and return a bright and clear world to the people, that will be boundless merit.

As Zhang Sanfeng looked at the reply in the group, the unease in his heart instantly settled, and an unprecedented sharp glint erupted from his eyes.

So that was how it was!

To follow heaven and respond to the people was the Heavenly Dao!

The others in the group also voiced their thoughts on Zhang Sanfeng's plan.

Xiao Yan: Senior Zhang, Immortal is right! If you need any help, just say so in the group! I can't go over for now, but I can send some pills to support you!

Before transmigrating, Xiao Yan had been a righteous young man. Naturally, he could not remain silent in the face of Zhang Sanfeng's righteous act of overthrowing tyranny!

With a wave of his hand, he directly sent an all-members red packet containing fourth-grade Returning Origin Life-Giving Pills.

Xiao Yan: A small token of my appreciation. Please don't stand on ceremony!

'Xiao Yan' sent an all-members red packet!

Then came Huang Rong.

Huang Rong: Wow! Our little brother Xiao Yan is actually this generous!! As his big sister, I can't be stingy either!

'Huang Rong' sent an all-members red packet!

Watching the lively discussion in the group and the generous support sent through red packets, the last trace of concern in Zhang Sanfeng's heart vanished completely, making him even more certain of his choice.

Zhang Sanfeng: Many thanks to Senior Immortal for clearing up my doubts, and thanks as well to the group leader, young friend, and Miss Huang for your support. I already have a plan in mind. The Yuan Dynasty's fortune has run out, and the people are suffering. Then I shall be the one to wield the whip and bring peace to this land!

After sending this message, Zhang Sanfeng slowly closed his eyes. The gentle aura around him suddenly changed, revealing an incomparably sharp and imposing presence.

Meanwhile, in the Primordial Great Realm, Yang Xuan looked at the interactions in the group and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Not bad. The 'variable' in this martial arts world has now been fully activated."

With a thought, he sent another message to the group.

Immortal: Since everyone is being so enthusiastic, I cannot fall behind either.

'Immortal' sent an all-members red packet!

Yang Xuan's red packet contained five Yi Wood Divine Light Talismans. Each contained one hundred-millionth of the Seven-Colored Divine Light. Once illuminated by this light, all techniques would fall silent; whatever effect they desired depended entirely on their own will.

Everyone offered their thanks before claiming the red packet.

After Zhang Sanfeng claimed his, a faint green talisman phantom descended into his palm from thin air, and he tucked it into his sleeve.

He slowly rose to his feet and walked to the window of the quiet chamber, gazing at Mount Wudang's brightly lit gates below and the vast land slumbering in the distant darkness.

"The heart itself is the Heavenly Dao!"

Zhang Sanfeng laughed heartily, his laughter carrying a century of vicissitudes and the clarity of sudden enlightenment.

"In that case, this old Daoist shall act on behalf of heaven!"

"And sweep away this century of barbarian dust!"
