Comprehending the Supreme Law, Nurturing Immortal Medicine, and Recultivating the Secret Realms
Deep within the Jade Pool Holy Land, in a small world Eternal shrouded in celestial mist.
Li Qingshan sat cross-legged, subtly connected to the origin of the entire small world.
His eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was long and deep, indicating that he had entered a profound state of enlightenment.
Having successfully Severing the Dao, ascended to the third level of the seventh Immortal Platform, and initially attained the Primordial Beginning Dao Fruit, it was not merely a surge in magical power and a leap in realm, but a transformation of the essence of life, elevating one's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and one's own Great Dao to a completely new level.
He truly broke free from the shackles of the Imperial Scripture and embarked on his own path.
At this moment, he was focused and contemplating the many insights he had accumulated during the process of Severing the Dao and in the past. Among them, the most important were the true meaning of the Six Seals of Yuanshi and the indelible Dao traces left by the magnificent style of the Desolate Heaven Emperor when he came from the reverse flow of time and space.
Within my heart, the voice of the Great Dao resounded, no longer a specific recitation of scriptures, but a more primordial flow of Daoist rhythm.
The Heaven-Opening Seal!
Yin-Yang Seal!
Four Symbols Seal!
Void Seal!
Wuji Seal!
The Heaven-Overturning Seal!
The true meaning of the Six Seals is not isolated; they are progressive and interconnected, seemingly outlining a grand picture of the creation of heaven and earth, the generation of all things, the stabilization of space and time, the composition of matter, and the ultimate power.
The Heaven-Opening and Yin-Yang marks the beginning; the differentiation of yin and yang establishes the Void; the Four Symbols revolve to Fortune; the boundless void contains all laws; the virtue of Wuji sustains all things; the Heaven-Overturning, and the limitless is Limitless. Each seal contains the supreme principle; it is power, but also rules.
Li Qingshan's primordial spirit floated and sank in the Dao Fire, constantly analyzing and reconstructing these true meanings.
After Severing the Dao, his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo achieved an inconceivable affinity with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, allowing him to comprehend these profound seals and techniques at a speed far exceeding his previous abilities.
Various mysteries flowed through his mind, gradually becoming clear and transforming into a part of his own Dao foundation. With every gesture, he could invoke the corresponding laws, displaying unfathomable power.
However, even with the strength of the Six Seals, it seems that this is not the end.
Deep within the core of the six seals' circulation, stimulated by the lingering Daoist resonance that touched upon the "root" and "end" after observing the Desolate Heaven Emperor's first move, a more subtle and essential understanding was beginning to sprout with difficulty.
The Number Ten move transcends mere power and laws, seemingly acting directly on Cause and Effect and effect, destiny, and even the fundamental level of "heart" and "spirit".
Touched by this, Li Qingshan realized that the secret of the Friend One style was beginning to sprout in his heart.
In the beginning of time, there was no vast wilderness, no past or future, no emotions or desires, no three souls or seven spirits.
A faint, almost imperceptible understanding began to grow in my heart.
"When the Yuanshi Heaven-Opening, Yin-Yang separated, and all things grew, then came the primordial spirit, soul, and mind."
"The original and oldest mind, the mind most capable of shaking the true spirit or primordial soul,"
"Thoughts are subtle, unpredictable, and the soul is mysterious."
This realization was extremely vague, as if veiled by a thick layer of chaotic mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
But Li Qingshan knew that this was a crucial beginning.
It concerns the mind, soul, and spirit, pointing directly to the most essential "divine" aspect of all living beings.
Even if it's just a rudimentary form, if one can grasp even a trace of it, it could have incredible uses in the future, in dealing with enemies, seeking enlightenment, and even on the path to transcendence.
In the Shrouding the Heavens World," Ye Fan's physical body is considered king, comparable to that of Mighty Figure being in the Four Extremes Secret Realm. This is because of his inherent physical constitution, which allows him to use his strengths to overcome his enemies' weaknesses.
In fact, the core of the Secret Realm Method is still the spirit, the primordial spirit.
In the final step, the main cultivator of the Immortal Platform Secret Realm can clearly see their primordial spirit.
He did not forcefully try to capture that vague prototype, but let it naturally develop within the Dao Realm, continuing to solidify his foundation with the true meaning of the Six Seals, while using that wisp of the Dao rhyme of the Desolate Heaven Emperor as a guide to quietly comprehend the subtle fluctuations of "heart," "spirit," and "source."
At the same time, the scene within his Bitter Sea also underwent Heaven-Overturning changes due to his success in Severing the Dao and the further advancement of his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.
The Life Spring gushed forth, intertwining chaotic energy with dazzling immortal light. The depths of the spring seemed to connect to an ancient chaotic origin, nurturing life essence that was incomparably pure and carried a trace of the Heaven-Opening charm of the creation of the world.
Beside this miraculous Life Spring, the dwelling place of the three Immortal Divine Medicine, even more extraordinary phenomena occur.
The Kirin Immortal Medicine Seed, which was originally dormant, now, under the influence of the abundant and vibrant life essence of the Life Spring and the pervasive primordial Daoist aura, the ancient patterns on the seed shell are faintly glowing, as if pulsating with breath.
The internal life fluctuations were significantly enhanced, and a faint, yet undeniably real, phantom image of Qilin occasionally flashed across the surface of the seed, emitting a silent, joyful murmur.
The withered and decaying remains of the humanoid Immortal Medicine elixir, now rooted in the most refined life essence and chaotic Dao rhythm beside the Life Spring, had a faint luster appear on its Ruyu- like roots, and the dim patterns on its remains seemed to be infused with a faint glow.
While it's far from a complete recovery, the lingering, oppressive deathly aura has indeed been somewhat dispelled, revealing a faint sign of life returning to the earth.
The most miraculous of all was the Phoenix Immortal Medicine, which was the last to arrive.
Its entire body was crimson, surrounded by auspicious clouds. At this moment, it seemed to be drawn by the energy of the other two divine herbs, its branches and leaves swaying gently, scattering specks of divine Nirvana radiance.
Three ancient energies, all belonging to the Immortal Divine Medicine but differing in nature, surprisingly resonated subtly within Li Qingshan's Bitter Sea Life Spring environment.
The Nirvana power of the Phoenix God Medicine seemed to be quietly nourishing the life force of the Qilin Seed and soothing the broken body of the humanoid divine medicine;
Meanwhile, the pure life essence of the Qilin Seed and the Daoist charm of the "human body medicine" residue of the human-shaped divine medicine also invisibly nourish the Phoenix Immortal Medicine, making its divine radiance even more harmonious.
A virtuous cycle is quietly forming within Li Qingshan's Bitter Sea.
His Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo physique, combined with the increasingly miraculous Bitter Sea Life Spring after Severing the Dao, became an excellent fertile ground for nourishing the Immortal Divine Medicine.
The revival and resonance of the divine medicine, in turn, exudes a purer essence of heaven and earth and fragments of the Great Dao, which are integrated into his life origin and understanding of the Great Dao, complementing each other.
Although Li Qingshan was immersed in enlightenment, he was also fully aware of the changes within the Bitter Sea.
With a slight thought, he did not interfere with this naturally formed resonance. Instead, he drew upon the essence of his Life Spring and the Divine Spring Water he obtained from the Golden Lotus Divine Spring in the Divine Tomb World to gently nourish the three.
At the same time, he transformed his own understanding of the Dao of "life" and " Nirvana " into strands of Daoist rhyme containing infinite vitality, and integrated them into the Life Spring essence that nourishes the divine medicine.
"Given this trend, the Qilin Seed may be able to revive and sprout ahead of schedule, and the remnants of the humanoid divine medicine body may be able to retain a sliver of its essence, or even slowly repair itself."
Li Qingshan's mind was clear.
"And this, in turn, will benefit me."
Dao Palace, it seemed as if the shadows of emperors sat cross-legged, chanting together the supreme ancient scriptures. The sounds of the imperial scriptures, which were completely different yet all pointed directly to the origin of the Great Dao, intertwined and echoed.
The profound meanings of the supreme scriptures, such as those of Wu Shi, Western Emperor, and Sun, flow and shimmer with the true essence of different forbidden methods.
Li Qingshan was completely absorbed in it, absorbing the vast and exquisite essence of this heritage like a sponge.
After Severing the Dao, his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo possessed divine comprehension. At this moment, he was able to mutually verify and integrate these profound and mysterious imperial scriptures, ancient methods, and forbidden secret techniques with the true meaning of the first six seals of the " Primordial Nine Seals " that he was currently sorting out and comprehending.
The framework of the Six Seals— Heaven-Opening, Yin-Yang and Yang, Four Symbols, Void, Wuji, and Heaven-Overturning —is like a furnace that encompasses all laws, melting the essence of various imperial scriptures and the mysteries of forbidden methods into one furnace, removing the dross and retaining the essence, transforming it into the supreme foundation of the Dao that best suits oneself.
The efficiency of his enlightenment reached an astonishing level, far exceeding that of the past.
A vast amount of insights, like rivers flowing into the sea, are quickly understood, absorbed, and integrated.
In just half a month, nearly half of this enormous accumulation has already been digested.
His cultivation level was increasing rapidly at a visible speed, and his control over the laws of heaven and earth was becoming more and more profound and subtle. With every move he made, he could invoke deeper levels of the power of the Great Dao.
Within the Bitter Sea, the Life Spring gushed forth with ever greater force, the ocean of divine power continued to expand, the chanting in the Dao Palace grew even louder, and the Four Extremes Secret Realm and the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm were simultaneously strengthened, with the great dragon of the spine faintly emitting a roar that shook the starry sky.
In the process of fusing various imperial scriptures, ancient methods, forbidden secret techniques, and the true meaning of the " Six Seals of Yuanshi " into one, Li Qingshan had a sudden inspiration.
In the " Wushi Scripture," which originates from the lineage of the Great Emperor Wushi, a supreme method concerning "rebuilding in secret realms" and "returning to one's original nature" came to mind.
This method originates from the single secret realm cultivation method of the Sacred Body, but it is far more exquisite. It fundamentally refines and reshapes the Five Great Secret Realms: the Sea of Bitterness, the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform.
Like refining divine iron, removing impurities, and imprinting it with laws that are more powerful and in harmony with one's own Dao, the potential and power of each secret realm break through the original framework, reaching the true meaning of "ultimate" or even "transcendence".
Previously, I had been constantly busy, either undergoing tribulation or on my way to undergoing tribulation.
Having not had time to cultivate, he has now Severing the Dao his Dao, and the origin of his Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo has been further awakened. He also has many insights from the Emperor Scriptures and the true meaning of the Six Seals as resources.
Within the Bitter Sea, the immense life essence and fragments of the Great Dao generated by the resonance of three Immortal Divine Medicine provide nourishment, making it the perfect opportunity to initially try this method and solidify a Dao foundation rarely seen throughout the ages.
Having made up his mind, Li Qingshan no longer hesitated.
He activated the supreme secret method in the " Wushi Scripture " and began a preliminary and systematic reshaping and reconstruction of his Five Great Secret Realms.
In the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm, the Life Spring in the center of the Bitter Sea gushed even more violently. The spring seemed to connect to the infinite depths, and the life essence that surged out was not only large in quantity and pure in quality, but also carried a hint of "opening up" and "source".
The boundaries of the Bitter Sea were faintly expanding in the chaotic energy, and in the golden Bitter Sea, Innate Dao Patterns were constantly being generated and rising and falling.
This is not a complete overhaul that can be accomplished overnight, but rather the beginning of a massive project, involving repeated strengthening and reinforcing of the foundation of the secret realm.
Even so, the changes it brought about were significant and far-reaching.
Li Qingshan could clearly feel that his body seemed to have shed an invisible shackle, becoming more transparent, and his resonance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became clearer and deeper. The Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm had been greatly enhanced on its already terrifying foundation.
This initial reconstruction of the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm is like widening and reinforcing a riverbed that is about to overflow, enabling it to bear and control even more immense power.
Before long, I will reach a critical point in my current realm.
The immense accumulation, like the ever-rising waters of a river, has already reached the limit of the dam.
Once the remaining half of the insights is fully digested and absorbed, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. The surging torrent of cultivation will surely break through the existing barriers of realm, shatter the shackles, and step onto higher and farther steps, surging forward without hesitation!
After the Severing the Dao, the road ahead became clear and open.
He comprehended the supreme Dharma, cultivated the Immortal Medicine, and rebuilt the secret realm.
His Daoist aura grew increasingly profound, the true meaning of the Six Seals flowed endlessly, and the vague prototype of the Seventh Great Seal floated and sank deep within the Dao Realm. The three divine medicines within the Bitter Sea resonated, bursting forth with vitality.
The entire small world was invigorated by his presence, and the immortal energy was exuberant.
Two months later, after Li Qingshan finished his enlightenment cultivation, an ancient and precious mirror floated in front of him.
The mirror reflects shifting light and shadow, displaying scenes of ongoing or recently concluded cleanup operations across the Five Regions of the Big Dipper, as well as the dynamics of various forces and the encrypted intelligence being transmitted.
The figure of the Jade Pool Saint stood silently to one side, like an ancient, unchanging rock.
" Yaoguang made a good move."
The Jade Pool Saint said calmly,
"They handed over the knife, absolved themselves of responsibility, and also threw those with guilty consciences into disarray."
Li Qingshan gazed at the bloody or secretive images reflected in the mirror, his expression unwavering.
"As expected. The Assassin Divine Dynasty is too deeply entangled with various parties, and it will always leave traces. What we need are these traces. With the righteous cause of the alliance to jointly investigate, there will be fewer obstacles in cleaning up the mess."
He gently traced the mirror with his finger, freezing the image of Ye Fan in the Holy City, slightly exhausted but with sharp eyes after a fierce battle, and the scene of the demons outside the Jade Pool Inn collecting the corpses of their companions in grief and indignation.
"A cornered dog will jump over the wall, and its backlash will be fierce."
Li Qingshan's gaze turned slightly cold.
"However, this is where it ends."
"You're going to do it yourself?"
The Jade Pool Saint asked.
"That's about it."
Li Qingshan nodded.
"The outer branches and leaves have been mostly cleared away, and the inside is in a state of panic. It's time to break their shell."
He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the small world, looking at several extremely hidden coordinates on the land of the Big Dipper, shrouded in layers of ancient killing formations and Void traps.
In Hell, besides the supreme and ancient palace that forms the foundation, there are eighteen levels of Hell, like eighteen main branches extending from the root.
"Based on the intelligence and Cause and Effect deductions I've gathered over the past few months, I've roughly pinpointed the locations of three levels of Hell. On my way, I'll first slay those three hells as a warning to others."
The Jade Pool Saint calmly said:
Do you need me to come along?
Li Qingshan shook his head:
"A little hardship is nothing. With the senior overseeing everything at Jade Pool, I alone am sufficient."
His tone was calm, yet it conveyed absolute confidence.
Severing the Dao seven levels of the Dao, and possesses many hidden trump cards.
His physical body and primordial spirit had already touched the Saint Realm before Severing the Dao, and after Severing the Dao, he far surpassed it. His true combat power was such that even if he entered the Divine Forbidden Realm, he would be at the peak of Saint and would not be afraid.
He already possesses Saint-level combat power, and it far surpasses that of ordinary new Saints.
"Very well." The Jade Pool Saint was not surprised. "When shall we depart?"
Three days later.
Li Qingshan,
"The alliance needs time to digest the results, handle internal issues, and focus its attention on 'self-examination' and 'evidence.' At that time, I will quietly depart. When I step into its core, that will be the moment the final thunderbolt descends."
He paused, then said:
"As for Ye Fan, the Holy City duel is imminent. If the assassin fails once, he might try again. Have Jade Pool's people in the Holy City secretly look after him, without interfering excessively, just ensure his life is safe."
"The disciples of Jade Pool have been attacked. Security for Jade Pool disciples going out will be increased during this period."
"As for the forces implicated in those cases, for now, we only need to put pressure on them and make them purge themselves. We'll deal with the final reckoning after the Assassin Divine Dynasty is destroyed. For now, maintaining the stability of the alliance is the priority."
The Jade Pool Saint nodded slightly and said no more.
She knew that the young man before her had truly grown into a giant capable of stirring up the stars and controlling the tides of history, and his combat power was probably far superior to hers.
The future of Jade Pool and the future of Big Dipper may both be steered towards a completely new and unknown course because of him.
Three days later, a barely perceptible stream of dark light quietly shot out from the deepest part of the Jade Pool Holy Land, disappeared into the boundless Void, and vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, in the Five Regions of Big Dipper, speculation and undercurrents about the "mastermind behind the overseas attack" intensified. Several forces that were vaguely named in the case files were on edge, and self-examination and mutual attacks quietly unfolded.
Within the Holy City, the earth-shattering duel between Ye Fan and the Source Arts Clan is about to begin, attracting countless eyes and temporarily concealing certain hidden killing intents.
