The mountain's height was unfathomable, its vastness immeasurable. It floated above the nine heavens, hidden in a sea of clouds. Upon it stood jade palaces and jeweled towers, strange flowers and wondrous herbs, soaring immortal cranes, and roaming auspicious beasts.
At its summit, a shaft of golden light shot skyward, piercing the highest heavens!
Kunlun Ruins.
The legendary realm of the Great Void.
It was said that those in the Sixth Realm could wander the Great Void in spirit with a single thought, all but transcending mortality and entering sagehood.
This "Great Void" was Kunlun Ruins.
Upon entering the Sixth Realm, one's divine soul resonated with heaven and earth, glimpsing mysterious, magnificent visions or patterns that pointed straight to the Great Dao in a single instant-as though ascending a divine mountain or witnessing supernatural wonders. Practitioners of martial arts and cultivation called this "Ascension to the Great Ruins."
And now-
Through the power of the Imperial Seal, the three of them briefly witnessed that wondrous sight!
In that instant, Lu Changfeng's comprehension surged, and he saw the foundations of his own Martial Way.
The cultivation methods he had learned-Ghost Valley's Treatise on All Under Heaven, Opening-and-Closing Hands, Tathagata Divine Palm, Heavenly Crippled Divine Skill, Supreme Sword Dao, Sun-Moon Cosmos Sword, Frost-Sky Cold Jade Manual, Eight Formations Diagram... countless methods, countless moves, countless insights flashed through his divine soul, one after another.
They were no longer a heap of loose sand. They began to merge, intertwine, and ascend-
The shifting yin and yang of Opening-and-Closing Hands melded into his swordsmanship;
The unmatched ferocity of Tathagata Divine Palm melded into his punches and kicks;
The essence of the Heavenly Crippled Divine Skill's kicking techniques melded into his footwork;
The sword intent of Supreme Sword Dao joined with the moves of Sun-Moon Cosmos
