Almost at the same time the prompt appeared, the former Great Luo True Person Immortal, whose neck was being gripped by Qi Yun, let out a final shriek filled with resentment and despair.
His condensed form flickered violently, like a candle burning in the wind.
Ultimately, it could no longer maintain its shape.
With a loud "bang," it exploded completely!
This time, what exploded was not simply energy.
Rather, it is the purest essence of the Dao, containing the core of his lifelong understanding of the origin of [Great Luo], as well as the undying resentment that has entangled him for countless ages, but has now been completely shattered and refined!
This vast and pure primordial power, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, was uncontrollably absorbed and devoured by the magnificent and majestic illusory image of the newly formed [Great Luo Heaven] Dao Foundation behind Qi Yun!
"Boom--!!!"
The moment they merged, Qi Yun's entire body trembled violently!
Within his Purple Mansion, the newly born "Great Luo Heaven" underwent a tremendous, fundamental transformation!
The previously somewhat hazy framework instantly became incredibly clear and stable.
Within the framework, what were originally just flowing Daoist principles and illusory images now begin to truly evolve, arise, and perish!
The chaotic air currents differentiated into Clarity and Turbidity.
The galaxy's rotation now has a tangible trajectory.
Yin and Yang and Yang and the Five Elements are no longer just symbols, but constitute the fundamental Principle that support the operation of this "universe"!
A sense of "perfection," "freedom," and "eternity" arises spontaneously from the depths of [Great Luo Heaven].
After thoroughly refining and integrating the remaining Dao essence and resentment of the former Dao Lord, and making up for the last bit of regret, he finally obtained the position of [Great Luo] in its entirety.
His [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation] is no longer merely an imitation or construction.
Instead, it truly begins to operate on its own, evolve on its own, and improve itself!
A Supreme Dao intent, far more vast, deeper, and more transcendent than anything before, awakened from its slumber.
It erupted from Qi Yun's body and shot into the sky!
This intent swept across the entire ruined Land of Dao Attainment.
Wherever it passed, the shattered sky began to slowly mend, and life emerged from the barren land.
The resentment and deathly silence that had permeated the air for so long melted and were purified as if ice and snow met the blazing sun!
It's done!
From this moment on, Qi Yun truly established the supreme foundation of the Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the sharp glint in his eyes was no longer there.
Instead, it is a vast and tranquil expanse, like the universe, yet containing endless mysteries of birth and death.
He slightly raised his hand, feeling the immense power within his body, as if it were his own arm, and the sense of freedom that transcended all constraints and governed all laws.
Just as the [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation] within Qi Yun's body was completely stabilized, emanating the Supreme Dao intent of perfect freedom and domination over all laws.
All around, the fragmented Daoist aura and residual thoughts that had not yet completely dissipated, originally belonging to the former Daoist Master, converged from all directions as if drawn by an attraction.
The light dust swirled and coalesced in front of Qi Yun.
In the end, it transformed into a slightly ethereal figure, yet possessing a serene and tranquil aura.
The man's face was no longer blurry, but rather resembled that of a middle-aged Daoist priest, with clear eyebrows and bright, lucid eyes.
He exuded no imposing aura whatsoever.
There is only a kind of peace and tranquility that comes from experiencing the vicissitudes of life and seeing through the changes of the world.
Like a clear mountain spring or a bright moon in the forest, it is otherworldly and untouched by worldly dust.
He was completely different from the "Great Luo True Person" who was filled with resentment and hatred before.
This is the one who once reached the [Great Luo] realm.
Before being blinded by resentment, this is the true face we should have had.
"Fellow Daoist."
He spoke slowly, his voice calm and gentle, like a breeze caressing the strings of a zither.
Amidst this ordinariness, Qi Yun keenly sensed a faint, familiar feeling, seemingly originating from the same source as the Great Dao.
That was a natural resonance between the Daoist principles of the Great Luo.
Gazing at the serene figure formed from countless wisps of wind, Qi Yun realized that this was the last and most genuine spark of light left behind by the other person in the world.
He slightly raised his hand and performed a simple Daoist bow. "Fellow Daoist, congratulations on your liberation today."
Upon hearing this, the illusory figure of the Daoist priest revealed a calm and open-minded smile, as if he had been relieved of an ancient burden.
Hehehe----
Resentment clouded his heart, and he remained obsessed for a hundred years.
He lived in a daze, committing many sins.
"Today, thanks to your great help, fellow Daoist, I have used the new Dao to cleanse my old grudges and restore clarity to my mind." He smiled and shook his head, his tone filled with relief.
"My earthly ties are severed, my attachments have vanished, and it is time for me to enter the cycle of reincarnation once more."
His figure began to become even more ethereal, and specks of light, like fireflies, began to drift upwards.
"After today's parting, who knows when we will meet again in the vast cycle of reincarnation?" He looked at Qi Yun, his eyes clear and earnest.
"Before I depart, I have a few words to say, as a way of thanking my fellow Daoist for helping me achieve liberation, and also as a belated realization."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yun's expression shifted, his smile vanished, and he solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
The Daoist's illusory figure seemed to pierce through Qi Yun, gazing into the distant void. His voice was ethereal and resonant, each word clear and distinct. "Life is a training ground, where lotuses bloom from mud."
With the wicked heart eradicated, brilliance will naturally emerge.
Now, I am the supreme one.
All living beings are also me.
The words still lingered in the air, not yet completely dissipated.
His figure, formed from light and dust, had completely faded away, like rising stardust, slowly dissipating into the world that had been imprisoned by his obsession for countless years.
As the points of light that seemed to gradually fade away and eventually disappear into nothingness before his eyes, Qi Yun's eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a moment.
I savored the last four lines of the verse, especially the last one, "The Supreme One is me, and all beings are also me."
The implications are profound, seemingly pointing to some higher level of mystery within the [Great Luo] realm.
Then, he slowly raised his hand again, facing the empty space ahead, and solemnly and deeply bowed. "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
Take care on your journey!
As that last bit of spiritual light, containing the clear and bright nature of the Great Luo True Person, completely dissipated into the world.
"Buzz," the entire dilapidated [Land of Dao Attainment] emitted a long and relieved hum.
Immediately, this [Land of Dao Attainment] rapidly disintegrated and dissolved from its edges.
The cracks in the sky healed, the barren earth became ethereal, and everything returned to the most primordial chaotic energy.
Then even the air currents gradually subsided, and finally—completely returned to nothingness.
Qi Yun felt a slight emptiness beneath his feet, and the surrounding scenery receded like the tide.
The next moment, his figure swayed, and he was once again firmly on solid ground, back on the mountain behind the Green Mountain Daoist Temple.
Within the ancient mountain caves where strange phenomena are concealed.
Before them, there was still the same array composed of three Great Xuan, and the nine-colored clouds slowly flowing in the sky above.
The [Great Luo Land of Dao Attainment] has completed its final mission.
This special space that existed because of it naturally vanished.
Just as Qi Yun calmed down and prepared to carefully experience the various mysteries brought about by the truly complete [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation] within his body.
An invisible and intangible yet vast and powerful force of attraction descended without warning from the the Unseen above.
Like countless invisible threads, they instantly wrapped around his body!
Qi Yun suddenly felt his body lighten, his feet slightly lifted off the ground, and his whole body became uncontrollably floating.
A powerful force of lift was pulling him, trying to drag him towards that unknown, mysterious place high in the heavens.
"Um?"
Feeling the abnormality in his body, Qi Yun frowned slightly.
Calm your mind, close your eyes and concentrate.
He used his Divine Sense to communicate with the newly formed Supreme Dao Foundation within his body.
Carefully sense the source and intent of this power.
Just a moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment and a hint of seriousness!
"Broken."
He muttered to himself, his tone filled with disbelief.
"[Supreme Dao Foundation] is too domineering, its Dao intent soars to the heavens."
I had barely completed its construction when the heavens and earth sensed it and began urging me to immediately break through to the next realm and enter the Dao!
According to the common sense of cultivation, for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, establishing a Dao Foundation is only the first and most basic step.
The truly crucial and extremely dangerous step is to, after the Dao Foundation is perfected and stabilized, actively or through Secret Method activate it, allowing one's own Dao Foundation to support the cultivator's physical body and Divine Soul, and ascend to the [Foundation Establishment Realm Heaven] that exists in the the Unseen.
Within that [Foundation Establishment Realm Heaven], cultivators must undergo the tribulation of wind and fire to cleanse their physical bodies Root Bone, while their Dao Foundation bodies must be subjected to the baptism and tempering of the branches of time to refine their immortal essence.
Only by successfully enduring the trials of water, fire, and wind can one shed their mortal form and forge the body of True Person.
The Dao Foundation is completely integrated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
From this moment on, you enter the Foundation Establishment realm, a realm of longevity and Divine Ability powers!
Logically speaking, even if an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator has established Dao Foundation, they would need to nurture it for a long time and make sufficient preparations before they would actively try to trigger this step.
Heaven and earth do not force or coerce.
However, Qi Yun's [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation] is simply too unique and too domineering!
Its profound Daoist meaning is extremely high, especially after leaving the self-contained "Land of Dao Attainment."
Its very existence is like the blazing Great Sun in the night, instantly and keenly spotted by heaven and earth!
This world seems to be "impatient" to witness the birth of a cultivator with a [Supreme Dao Foundation].
Or perhaps it was the status of this Supreme Dao Foundation that triggered an automatic response from heaven and earth.
They must force him to enter the [Foundation Establishment Realm Heaven] to undergo tribulation!
"My Dao Foundation is still in its early stages and has not yet been nurtured to perfection. To hastily undergo tribulation at this moment would be doubly dangerous!" Qi Yun's mind raced as he felt the increasingly powerful upward force, his gaze becoming serious.
Just as Qi Yun was pondering how to break the deadlock...
"Buzz!"
A deep, resonant sound, seemingly capable of suppressing the heavens, came from the highest point!
The next moment.
A perfectly condensed, pitch-black shadow, like a night curtain falling from the heavens, suddenly descended.
It precisely enveloped and protected Qi Yun within a radius of about ten feet!
Under the shadow of this dark Qi Yun, the originally powerful and domineering force of heaven and earth absorption was instantly isolated and weakened by more than half.
Qi Yun, who was about to fly away, suddenly felt a lightness on his body.
That involuntary upward force vanished abruptly.
His feet were firmly planted on the solid cave floor once again.
He was surprised and looked up.
At the highest point of the [Great Void Mirror Heaven], a large halberd, entirely black and with an ancient and ferocious design, stood horizontally in the air!
The halberd's body was dark and gleaming, and at its cold blade, a chilling light that could easily tear the sky apart flowed.
It didn't exude any particularly earth-shattering power.
It simply lay there quietly, yet it seemed to be the center of this world, even the Great Dao had to bow before it.
At the same time, a calm yet domineering voice rang in Qi Yun's ear.
"Cultivate your Dao Foundation diligently. No one can force you to undergo tribulation without True Lord permission."
Even God won't help!
