On the morning of the seventh day after the tribulation, the sea of clouds over Kunlun had not yet dispersed.

Countless wisps of purple energy rose from the eastern sun, and over the past seven days, Li Qingshan's physical strength has continued to increase at a visible rate.

Every inch of flesh and blood, every strand of bone and blood, exudes a mystical aura.

The radiant glow flowing across the skin's surface was even more dazzling than during the tribulation, refracting the morning light into a seven-colored rosy glow.

The light fell on the surrounding cliffs, illuminating the entire valley.

He sat cross-legged on the stone platform, the surface of which was covered with scorch marks from the lightning strikes.

At this moment, however, it trembled slightly in the Daoist aura emanating from his body, as if resonating with it.

The starlight flowing through the gaps in the bones is no longer the faint glow of the past, but a galaxy formed from the sedimentation of ancient star fragments.

As blood rushes through the blood vessels, it produces a clanging, metallic sound.

Each breath was like a resounding bell.

When you inhale, the essence of heaven and earth around you surges into your body like a rushing river, transforming into brilliant rays of light through your mouth and nose;

When you exhale, excess impurities in your body turn into black smoke and dissipate, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding sea of clouds.

It truly achieved "one breath in, one breath out, resonating with the heavens and earth."

The radiant glow emanating from his internal organs grew increasingly intense, weaving into intricate mystical patterns within his body, subtly resonating with the laws of heaven and earth. The radiant glow from his heart shone like the blazing sun, illuminating fire-attribute Dao traces.

The kidney's clear radiance resembles the cold moon, condensing the true essence of Taiyin;

The green light on the liver resembles that of a pine tree, entwined with the laws of life.

As the mysterious patterns flowed, they actually outlined half of a blurry Heavenly Dao totem on his body, attracting birds in the air to stop and beasts below the cliff to crawl.

Unbeknownst to anyone, at that very moment, Li Qingshan's divine sense had already broken free from his physical body and merged with the Dao, falling into the legendary " Realm of Dao Transformation."

Great opportunities are also great terrors; a slight misstep can lead to death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence.

At this moment, Li Qingshan's thoughts and ideas were no longer confined to his physical body.

Like a small boat drifting peacefully in the endless sea of the laws of Heavenly Dao.

There is no up, down, left, or right here; no past, present, or future.

Only the omnipresent flow of the Dao sometimes transforms into the trajectory of the birth and death of stars.

Sometimes it condenses into the roar of a primordial beast, and sometimes it reveals the ancient totem of our ancestors' worship of heaven.

In the darkness, it seemed as if countless layers of glazed celestial walls were unfolding before my eyes, each piece of glazed glass reflecting a different illusory image of the Heavenly Dao.

When the divine sense penetrated, it actually felt the weight of three layers of time. "Past, present, and future." Passing through the last layer of the crystal wall, all that was left was chaos.

Chaos is not nothingness, but is filled with primordial purple energy, as viscous as ancient divine nectar.

Within the chaos, countless portals appeared and disappeared.

Each of those gates possessed its own unique characteristics:

Or like Purple Gold divine chain, entwined with the Daoist principles of the birth and death of stars;

Or like the icy silk of the moon, it condenses an eternal, unyielding chill;

Or like the blazing sun, burning with divine fire capable of scorching mountains and boiling seas;

Even more so, some are like chaotic currents of air, containing the primordial power that Heaven-Opening.

My thoughts flowed with the current.

Those portals were not ordinary at all, but rather concentrated " Potential Dao Seed."

The doors were tightly shut, yet a powerful surge of potential emanated from them.

It's as if a starry sea, a world, is hidden behind the door.

The moment Li Qingshan's divine sense touched the Stone Gate, he suddenly had a sudden realization.

No one needs to explain it, and no scriptures need to guide you.

He already knew that this was the " Gate of Potential Divine Treasures!

The moment their thoughts touched upon this, an ancient Daoist voice suddenly resounded from the depths of the Gate of Divine Treasures.

The sound did not come from any specific entity, but was like the first wisp of Daoist rhyme at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

It resembles the devout chanting of our ancestors when worshipping heaven and earth, and also the profound words spoken by the ancient Great Emperor.

As the Daoist sounds flowed, the Daoist threads within the chaos trembled violently, their boundless potential hidden within those tightly closed doors.

Like ancient deities in slumber, waiting for a destined person to awaken them using the Dao as the key.

Li Qingshan's thoughts, countless fragmented memories and insights from his present and past lives, instantly connected, "So this is how the Secret Realm Method works!"

" The Secret Realm Method created by the Desolate Heaven Emperor is essentially about 'establishing order' for the human body's potential!"

This sudden enlightenment was like a sudden awakening; the threads of the Dao within the chaos spontaneously gathered around me.

He sketched the framework of the secret realm before his divine sense:

The area corresponding to the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm is a boundless black Bitter Sea.

Beneath the Bitter Sea, the Gate of Divine Treasures are layered like foundation stones, exuding a profound Daoist aura—that is the "foundation."

It carries the power to unlock all subsequent Divine Treasures; without the primordial power accumulated in the Sea of Bitterness, any Divine Treasures would be nothing more than a castle in the air.

At the location of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, five rays of light shot into the sky, transforming into five divine palaces representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Each divine palace is connected to countless Gate of Divine Treasures, serving as the "pillars" supporting the operation of its potential.

To provide a continuous source of support for the Divine Treasures:

The four limbs correspond to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and four divine chains pierce through the chaos, connecting the Divine Treasures of the limbs with the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Like the "load-bearing walls" of a house, only by opening up the Four Extremes can the human body's potential resonate with the universe and truly operate freely.

The Immortal Platform Secret Realm, on the other hand, floats atop the Chaos, with a seven-colored divine platform standing upon it.

The divine Gate of Divine Treasures atop the altar exuded imperial power, serving as the "dome" of the entire "house."

It carries the ultimate potential to reach the Great Emperor realm.

" The Desolate Heaven Emperor, with his supreme power, laid the main framework of the 'house',"

Li Qingshan's thoughts went like this.

It seemed as if one could see, through the principles of the Dao, the great Great Emperor Heaven-Opening, standing high above the nine heavens.

Using his own Dao principles as an axe, he paved a smooth path for future cultivators. "Later cultivators no longer need to start from scratch to figure out the 'method of building a house,' they only need to follow this framework and know where to unlock their Gate of Potential!"

Thoughts followed the threads of the Dao, as if piercing through the river of time.

We witnessed the "refinement" undertaken by great Great Emperor throughout history within this framework.

The first thing that catches the eye is the figure of the Holy Emperor of the Sun.

He stood on the land of Nine Suns Burning the Heavens, his body radiating Solar True Force like countless golden arrows.

Each strike precisely pierced the Gate of Divine Treasures associated with "Yang".

Some doors opened with a bang, releasing a scorching force capable of burning mountains and boiling seas;

Some are connected to other Yang-attribute Divine Treasures, weaving a blazing sun-like net that covers their entire bodies;

Furthermore, he refined the core Divine Treasures with the true essence of the Sun, transforming it into a " Sun Dao Seed " that floats above the Immortal Platform.

Ultimately, these activated potentials merged with his Dao principles, condensing into the core Dao patterns of the " Sun True Scripture," thus creating the Great Emperor swept across the universe with masculine power.

Closely following behind was the Great Emperor Wushi.

He did not radiate dazzling divine light like the Holy Emperor of the Sun, but stood at the ferry crossing of the river of time.

With a light touch of the fingertip, the Gate of Divine Treasures related to "time" in the chaos began to glow with a grayish-white Daoist aura.

What lies within the door is not ordinary potential, but rather an overlapping of phantoms of the past and future.

Some Divine Treasures the secret of "time travel".

Some of them contain the true meaning of "time accelerating".

Furthermore, a core Divine Treasures is connected to the very origin of the river of time.

The Great Emperor Wushi used the Dao principle of " Wu Shi " to connect these scattered potentials of time.

Within the framework of the Desolate Heaven Emperor, he carved out a unique and supreme Great Dao of Time, making the name " Wu Shi " resound throughout the ages.

As his divine senses shifted, he also glimpsed the figures of other Great Emperor:

To explore the Divine Treasures of a particular field to their fullest extent.

Those ordinary cultivators were merely following in the footsteps left by these Great Emperor.

By opening a few pre-marked "small doors" on the edge of the framework and acquiring a little potential, one is already among the best of their peers.

His thoughts rose again, and combining them with his own insights after overcoming the tribulation, Li Qingshan finally understood the deep connection between his physique and the secret realm.

"The so-called King Body or Sacred Body is nothing more than the lucky ones who were born with partial access to key Gate of Divine Treasures."

His divine sense swept across the Gate of Divine Treasures in the chaos, which exuded Heavenly Dao charm, and he understood. "When someone is born, the ' Life Divine Treasures ' in the core of the Dao Palace is already open, hence their vitality far surpasses that of ordinary people."

Some people are born with a " Strength Divine Treasures " that connects the Four Extremes, thus their physical bodies are incomparably strong.

However, without the solid foundation of the Sea of Bitterness and the support of the "pillars" of the Dao Palace, these Heavenly God treasures are like trees without roots or water without a source, only able to exert one or two tenths of their power.

Only by reaching the Four Extremes Secret Realm can one connect their limbs with the heavens and earth.

Only when the primordial energy of heaven and earth continuously flows into the Divine Treasures can these innately opened gates truly begin to function.

Therefore, one's physical constitution must reach the Four Extremes to be considered a minor achievement!

My thoughts once again swept over the Gate of Divine Treasures on the Bitter Sea, which resembled countless stars.

The Daoist essence of each door and the mysteries of each Dao Seed were clearly imprinted in his divine sense; Li Qingshan had already grasped them all.

The strength of a scripture lies entirely in how many Gate of Latent Potential it can "activate" and how ingenious its combination!

His thoughts drifted to a blurry image marked "Mortal Scripture".

The principles of the scripture only dared to linger around the outer perimeter of the Divine Treasures, cautiously prying open the outermost gates.

The potential gained is merely a trickle, and the individual streams are unrelated, making it difficult to form a combined force.

The principles of the Great Emperor's scriptures are completely different, such as the Heavenly Emperor wielding an axe to Heaven-Opening, directly knocking on the core node of the Divine Treasures.

Furthermore, it can connect seemingly unrelated potentials through the Great Emperor's Dao principles.

The ingenuity of the combination and the depth of its potential are the very reasons why the Great Emperor's Scripture surpasses all living beings.

" Chaos Body "

Li Qingshan's thoughts suddenly turned to the legendary first physique of all time, and a realization dawned on him. "Perhaps the Chaos Body is born without any barriers, and the Gate of Potential Divine Treasures are open."

Its potential is as boundless as the chaotic starry sea, thus it can encompass all paths, traverse the past and present, and achieve supreme power.

The image of the Ruthless Great Emperor also appeared in his thoughts at this moment.

The secrets of that empress, who Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art throughout her life, seem to be hidden within the Divine Treasures:

" The Ruthless Great Emperor's Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art is probably not simply about devouring the origin, but rather about devouring the origin of the King Body."

They seized all the fragments of the Gate of Divine Treasures that the kings had opened innately.

The Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art reassembled and fused these fragments of Divine Treasures from different constitutions.

He forcefully carved out a chaotic path through the world after birth!

The moment this realization dawned, the threads of Dao principles within the chaos suddenly boiled violently.

Countless Gate of Divine Treasures trembled simultaneously, their potential fluctuations resonating completely with his divine sense.

Li Qingshan could clearly feel that he was deeply merging with the laws of Heavenly Dao.

The mysterious patterns on the surface of his physical body became increasingly clear, and even began to emanate a transparent Daoist aura, advancing further.

He might be able to fully merge with the Great Dao and glimpse deeper layers of Divine Treasures mysteries.

At this critical moment, a slight tremor suddenly came from an ancient Stone Gate deep within the sea of consciousness.

Like the throbbing of the road itself, there was no sound; the Stone Gate merely trembled slightly.

An irresistible force swept over him, like an invisible hand violently pulling his thoughts out of the river of Heavenly Dao.

"Puff"

The moment his thoughts returned to his body, Li Qingshan suddenly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of pale golden Daoist mist, and the transparent Daoist aura around him instantly dissipated.

The profound sense of the Realm of Dao Transformation receded like a receding tide.
