Over these past few years, Gu Yuanqing's mind had merged completely with the North Spring Small World.
His mind existed in an ethereal state, without self or selfishness, like the heart of heaven shining from above.
To the North Spring Small World, he had always been an existence akin to the Heavenly Dao, controlling everything here.
Previously, it had only been a grotto-heaven, like a secluded corner of the world. Becoming one with it had been like steering an enormous object.
But now the grotto-heaven had transformed and become independent. A great Dao river had been born, and everything within it flourished in an endless cycle. The feeling was entirely different from before.
At this moment, merging with the North Spring Small World was like the Heaven and Earth great Dao of the Spirit Realm opening completely to him when he ascended to Void Immortal. The only difference was that the North Spring World's great Dao river lacked the Spirit Realm's vastness and profound depth. Yet in terms of the mysteries of change contained within it, it actually surpassed the latter.
In particular, the vitality and life of a newborn world were beyond anything an ancient, damaged world like the Spirit Realm could match.
The moment the grotto-heaven began its advancement, Gu Yuanqing knew that his own road along the Immortal Path had opened before him.
What the North Spring Small World possessed was precisely what the Spirit Realm's great Dao lacked. Although this part was still weak, it would gradually strengthen as the world grew!
As his mind gradually withdrew from his comprehension of the great Dao, his human side awakened as well.
In an instant, even the wind within the North Spring World seemed to take on a different flavor, fresh and joyful.
Countless spirit beasts and birds
