Evolving the heavens, the nascent Three Realms

Is it possible to Freedom Through Others' Transformations?

His main body sat cross-legged in the pool of the waterfall, but his spirit once again entered the Great Sovereign Heaven.

Only at this moment did Li Boyang fully demonstrate the power of [Roaming Spirit and Controlling Qi].

This is to unleash the full potential of one's Primordial Spirit.

It truly achieves the Heavenly Gang Divine Ability Dividing into Myriad Formations and Arriving in an Instant.

Especially in the Great Sovereign Heaven evolved from the Sea of Alaya Consciousness, Li Boyang truly achieved a spiritual journey through the heavens.

With a single thought, the Ends of the Earth Within Reach, demons tremble, and all evil submits.

Even though Boju Heavenly Demon chose to remain completely silent under these circumstances, Li Boyang still managed to find a "weakness" in the pool.

Tumultuous!

At this moment Great Sovereign Heaven fully manifested.

Those demon kings who had hidden themselves in the mortal world beforehand trembled with fear.

Because the Great Sovereign Heaven is different from the secret realms and grotto heavens opened up by other Great Heavenly Deity.

Although it is not large in scale now, it is essentially a "seed of the world" equivalent to the mortal world and the Netherworld.

As time goes by and the Dao Path evolves, the Great Sovereign Heaven will eventually evolve into a complete and independent entity.

A world with a positive cycle.

At that time, Great Sovereign Heaven will truly be equal to the present world and the Netherworld, becoming the third world.

As for why the Great Sovereign Heaven is so special...

If we really look into it, there are actually many reasons.

First and foremost, without a doubt, is the "power of Witch Mountain" that Zhuang Zhou stole.

The essence of the [Witch Mountain Cauldron] is the [Mind-Aspect Barrier] left behind by the second Witch King, a supreme power capable of Refining Falsehood into Reality.

With the power of the [Witch Mountain Cauldron], the Ten Witches of Spirit Mountain can even shield Li Boyang's senses and divination abilities.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the [Witch Mountain Cauldron] may not be the strongest of the Nine Cauldrons, but it is certainly the most unique.

The most mysterious.

Secondly, there was the downfall of Zhuang Zhou.

Yes, although Zhuang Zhou used the method of Attaining the Dao in Dreams to bring the dream into reality.

But if we really look into it, the original Zhuang Zhou had indeed passed away, and that's why Boju fell into silence.

The fall of one Dao Proving One was enough to establish the "immortal and unchanging" nature of Great Sovereign Heaven.

Just like the [Heavenly Emperor's Capital] where the Heavenly Emperor fell.

"Eternal existence" will become the fundamental attribute of this type of secret realm.

However, the key to the transformation of the Great Sovereign Heaven from the Secret Realm into the "Seed of the World" was the intervention of Li Boyang, the Dao Ancestor.

In fact, Li Boyang had been pondering a question for a long time: how did the mortal world and the Netherworld come into being?

These two worlds, one of life and one of death, are like the two sides of yin and yang.

But beneath this seemingly perfect surface, Li Boyang discerned a sharp contradiction and conflict.

Especially after the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation System, the two worlds have long since permeated and influenced each other, and a slight misstep could easily trigger a world-class calamity.

In this situation, a strong buffer zone is needed between the mortal world and the Netherworld.

There is a well-known fact in mathematics that the triangle is always the most stable shape.

This principle still applies on a global scale.

In order to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang in the long term, is it possible to artificially create a third, or even more, worlds?

This approach may not fundamentally solve the problem of how disasters occur, but it can maximize the margin for error.

The appearance of the Great Sovereign Heaven was an opportunity, an opportunity for Li Boyang to attempt to evolve the heavens.

Therefore, during this period, rather than searching for the Boshun Heavenly Demon, it would be more accurate to say that Li Boyang was contemplating how to create a new world.

Only when he was completely certain of the feasibility of his hypothesis did he spare some energy to search for the Boshun Heavenly Demon.

[Since we are going to create countless heavens, we cannot ignore such a significant destabilizing factor.]

With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Boyang once again manifested the form of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon.

Just like when the [Jade Disc of Creation] was created, the blazing Eight Trigrams Furnace appeared out of thin air in the center of the world.

Tumultuous!

The Samadhi True Fire in the furnace transformed from solid to ethereal, burning the entire Great Sovereign Heaven a fiery red.

In the subconscious of all living beings, everyone seemed to see that familiar cauldron.

Among them, the demon kings who have escaped into the mortal world see this most clearly.

For the vast majority of people, the subconscious "Samadhi True Fire" is merely a Udumbara Flower illusion.

Some people didn't even have time to see what it was before they were distracted and missed it.

Only those demon kings who exist between the Great Sovereign Heaven and the present world.

As if personally experiencing the Samadhi True Fire surging from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, it couldn't help but let out a miserable wail.

"Boju, aren't you going to show yourself?"

Ignoring the feelings of the demon kings, Li Boyang simply stared calmly at the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Then it was as if in response to Li Boyang's words.

The Samadhi True Fire within the Eight Trigrams Furnace suddenly surged, revealing a terrifying face.

The face was neither human nor beast, but its head had a pair of huge, curved horns.

After it revealed its true form, a golden halo and flame patterns faintly appeared behind it, and unformed flame snakes surrounded its body.

How did you find me?

Even though he was trapped in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Boshun showed no sign of panic.

"You are too greedy, so greedy that you have even gone against the original intention of the Great Sovereign Heaven's creation."

As Boju seemed to be deep in thought, Li Boyang continued.

"The demon kings are your incarnations, all living beings are your furnace, yet you have even spread your will throughout the entire Great Sovereign Heaven."

"You want to follow the path of the Great Sovereign Heaven?"

"No wonder you call yourself the Heavenly Demon; such boldness and courage are truly astonishing."

As Li Boyang said, while Boshun's influence certainly played a part in Zhuang Zhou's silence, wasn't it also a deliberate choice on his part?

Taking advantage of the lull between Zhuang Zhou's death and his own severe injury, Boju spread his will throughout the entire Great Sovereign Heaven.

He wanted to replace the rules of the Great Sovereign Heaven with His own will and become the "Great Way" of this world.

In this process, the [Witch Mountain Cauldron], which was able to Refining Falsehood into Reality, played a crucial role.

Or rather, if it weren't for the power of the [Witch Mountain Cauldron] contained within the Great Sovereign Heaven, Boju would never have dared to take such a desperate gamble.

"I'm just following the path you haven't fully explored!"

After a brief silence, Boju's booming voice echoed Great Sovereign Heaven.

"You clearly have the power to transform into the Heavenly Dao and rule over all—"

"Yet, for that elusive path of transcendence, they gave up becoming the Heavenly Dao, which reigns above all living beings."

"Although I do not possess your abilities, this Great Sovereign Heaven is not of this world either. I will here replicate the path you did not complete!"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang laughed, a laugh that was relaxed yet tinged with contempt.

"As a Dao Proving One, it's rather pathetic that you've spent your entire life imitating the paths of others."

"Zhuang Zhou attempted to Attaining the Dao in Dreams, to Refining Falsehood into Reality, and to achieve the carefree state of being alone."

"You imitate his path, yet greedily desire to transform all things for your own use, turning true freedom into other- Freedom Through Others' Transformations."

"Similarly, you try to imitate my process of proving the Heavenly Dao, but you are unwilling to offer even a sliver of hope."

"The Tao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and its essence is hidden. Do you think this is merely my benevolent thought?"

Seeing Boshun's slightly surprised expression, Li Boyang continued to smile.

"No, if all cause and effect in this world are locked down—"

"Then there are no variables, and without variables there is no vitality, and without vitality there is only lifelessness."

"You're just creating a rigid, rule-bound, lifeless prison; that's not the true way of creation."

"Zhuang Zhou believed you were his Heart Demon, an extremely evil personality that arose from his repeated Dao Proving."

"But in my opinion, you are not Zhuang Zhou at all."

"Am I right? Outer Dao's always trying to take shortcuts?"
