Over three hundred years ago, the North Spring Realm had undergone a transformation, and the Spiritual Mountain Trial had become the Immortal Mountain Trial.
He had entered it many times, assuming the greatest change was that he could choose his opponents at will.
He had never imagined that the real change lay here.
For now, he did not dwell on it. Instead, he left the Trial Space, returned his consciousness to his body, and carefully contemplated these newfound insights.
He had fought Wei Zhao for hundreds of years. Through their ceaseless clashes, he had become intimately familiar with the Way of Returning to the Hidden and the Way of Life and Death.
Gu Yuanqing himself cultivated myriad Daos. With these insights now merging into his mind, he could almost be said to understand both paths as clearly as his own heart.
As these fragmented insights merged into his cultivation, two newborn Dao Principle Imprints slowly condensed in the sky of the Heavenly Human World.
These Dao Principle Imprints hung within the Heavenly Human World like stars.
Their starlight spilled down, weaving into a great Dao river that covered the entire world.
Having reached the realm of a True Immortal, he now had far more Dao Principle Imprints within his Heavenly Human World than the original three hundred and sixty. The newborn imprints were neither as brilliant nor as large as the first ones, but their existence made the laws of this world more complete.
It was like weaving brocade: the more tightly warp and weft interlaced, the stronger the fabric became.
Every new Dao Principle Imprint marked another increment in his cultivation.
Only after a long time did he emerge from cultivation and begin considering the change itself.
"Could this miraculous effect only occur the first time I kill someone?"
