Inside the world cave abode.
Li Xian manifested the Wuxian Great Dao, radiating waves of glazed treasure light. Within that light, layer upon layer of worlds filled it like a crystalline structure, lending even the "light" a tangible texture.
Counting them carefully...
Sixty-four cross sections seemed clearly visible in every inch of glazed treasure light.
Or rather, every inch of glazed treasure light was composed of sixty-fourfold worlds.
These worlds overlapped and interlocked, giving the glazed treasure light an unshakably solid, resilient quality.
"A thousand years of arduous cultivation, consuming vast quantities of resources... the expansion of the Wuxian Great Dao has indeed reached its limit."

In fact, had he not spent these years comprehending the structural mysteries of the Boundless Diagram, sixty-fourfold worlds would already have put some pressure on him. Though they would not have been entirely beyond his capacity, operating them would inevitably have been less nimble than thirty-twofold or sixteenfold worlds.
And without the advantage of "absolute control," no matter how much "quantity" he possessed, it might not bring an immediate increase in strength. The "Dao Ancestors" were the best illustration of this.
Take a hundred people as an example.
Having "absolute control" was equivalent to concentrating the full strength of a hundred people in a single body.
The other hundred people, meanwhile, were an army of a hundred.

Li Xian understood clearly. "The increase in combat power would inevitably level off. In fact... splitting off
