Breaking Through! Domain Heaven!
The entire Yellow Li Island will be thoroughly reorganized and reshaped, from the inside out, from its geological features to its spiritual energy.
Setting up the intricate, interlocking formation took Qi Yun a full seven days.
As the last array pattern disappeared into the core of the mountain and perfectly integrated with the earth's veins, the entire island hummed slightly before falling completely silent.
The already abundant Spiritual Qi became even more vibrant and orderly, and the natural pale blue halo above the island seemed to thicken.
Qi Yun atop the main peak, overlooking the secluded Pure Land he had created with his own hands.
Inside the island, streams murmur, mists swirl, and vegetation flourishes; outside, an invisible barrier lies between the sea and sky, hidden from view.
He let out a long sigh of relief, all the slight fatigue from setting up the Formation Deployment over the past few days vanished.
In his eyes, there was only a profound tranquility and a sharp, determined glint.
"Everything is ready, we just need the right opportunity." He muttered to himself, and in a flash, he appeared in the cave abode that had already been prepared deep inside the mountain.
The cave abode was small and simply furnished.
On the surrounding rock walls, array patterns were emitting a soft and stable glow, purifying the Spiritual Qi within the cave abode to its extreme and isolating it from all external disturbances.
He sat cross-legged on a warm jade cushion, Qi Yun and concentrated his mind, first adjusting his own state to its most perfect peak.
Qi and Blood are like mercury, Law Power is like the sea, Divine Soul is as clear as a mirror.
Deep within the Purple Mansion, the [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation] quietly Lunzhuan, radiating a vast and all-encompassing, supreme and noble aura.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly clearing away the chaos.
With a flick of his palm, four orbs of light, each with a different shape but radiating a profound Daoist charm, flew out from the [Great Luo Heaven] and hovered in front of him.
On his left palm, two strands of energy, one black and one white, intertwined and flowed endlessly, like the eyes of Yin and Yang fish—this was precisely [Yin and Yang].
A flash of inspiration.
Above his right palm, a ball of clear light rose while turbid energy sank, the distinct yet unified mass of energy representing [Clarity and Turbidity].
Spiritual essence.
On the left side of the chest, four colors of light Lunzhuan, illustrating the wonders of origin, peak, hidden, and Ruins of Return; this is the [Four Seasons] wonder.
On the right side of his chest, there was a strange crystal the size of a pigeon egg, containing chaos and radiance beyond description, which was the [Innate] spirit originating from himself.
The Four Spirits of Domain Heaven have gathered here!
Qi Yun silently gazed at these four wondrous objects that concerned Dao Path future path, his gaze calm yet filled with utmost solemnity.
Next, he would put everything he had painstakingly cultivated and planned into the Great Dao furnace for the most crucial tempering and sublimation.
Without hesitation, without delay.
He held his hands in a gesture as if embracing the universe, and then gently pushed them outwards!
"Go!"
The four spiritual objects responded to the call and transformed into four streams of Flowing Light, each with a different color but equally dazzling. Like birds returning to their nests, they went straight into Qi Yun's brow, entered his Purple Mansion, and headed straight for the ever -Lunzhuan [Great Luo Heaven]!
Just as the four spirits disappeared, a deafening boom echoed!
The deepest part of Qi Yun Dao Foundation trembled violently!
The four spirits—[Yin and Yang], [Clarity and Turbidity], [Four Seasons], and [Innate]—are like four most fundamental "seeds of the Dao," falling into the fertile soil of [Great Luo Heaven].
In an instant, the previously calm and Lunzhuan [Great Luo Heaven] suddenly boiled over!
The chaotic energy flow accelerated wildly, the illusory images of the sun, moon, and stars within it shone brightly, and the evolution of earth, water, fire, and wind reached its extreme, with the terrifying scenes of the beginning of creation being reenacted within it.
Countless fine rays of light burst forth from every pore of Qi Yun's body.
His entire being resembled a divine embryo about to be born, his aura rising and expanding at an incredible speed!
In the Foundation Establishment stage, extraordinary phenomena of the Dao Foundation manifest outwardly, appearing as illusions and projections of one's own understanding of the Great Dao.
The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage involves refining, elevating, and solidifying this illusory "phenomenon."
It transforms the abstract into the concrete, and the image into the heaven.
To become a realm of true and absolute control, filled with one's own "Tao" and "Law"—a realm of Domain Heaven.
Qi Yun's [Great Luo Heaven] phenomenon was already magnificent and vast, far surpassing its peers.
Now, nourished by the Four Spirits and propelled by the opportunity for breakthrough, a fundamental transformation begins to occur!
"Buzz--!!!"
Centered on the cave abode where Qi Yun was sitting cross-legged, the void behind him suddenly collapsed and expanded inward.
A hazy "region," with chaotic halos flowing around its edges, is slowly breaking free from the shackles of illusion and transforming into the real and tangible "Domain Heaven."
The scenery within this area is similar to, yet completely different from, the phenomena of the [Great Luo Heaven].
This newly revealed Domain Heaven, though only ten feet in diameter, was incredibly heavy and solid, resembling the embryonic form of a real world, protecting Qi Yun within it.
Within the Domain Heaven, Qi Yun is the ruler, his will is the Principle, and the power of his Dao will receive unimaginable enhancement.
The manifestation of the Domain Heaven is not the end, but the beginning.
Qi Yun needs to completely integrate his [Great Luo Myriad Laws Dao Foundation] with this nascent Domain Heaven and "anchor" it to a higher "level" between himself and the external world.
This process requires that half of one's Domain Heaven be rooted in one's own Dao source, while the other half touches the depths of the external world.
This allows for a more efficient absorption and release of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the operation of the principles of the Great Dao.
Qi Yun sank his mind into the deepest part of his Dao Foundation, guiding the boiling power of his Dao Foundation, like an invisible giant hand supporting his own Dao Foundation status.
Slowly "ascending" towards a higher, more mysterious level in the the Unseen.
With each slight rise, Qi Yun could feel his connection with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becoming closer, his perception of the laws governing all things around him becoming clearer, and the quality and quantity of his internal Law Power undergoing a leapfrog change.
His Divine Soul was also elevated, allowing him to see more of the true nature of the world from a "higher" perspective.
This process is slow and arduous, like rowing against the current or carrying mountains on your shoulders to climb to the heavens.
Qi Yun's Qi and Blood and qi surged, his Law Power rushed like a celestial river bursting its banks, Divine Soul endured immense pressure and a baptism.
Outside the cave abode, the Spiritual Qi of the entire Yellow Li Island was drawn in, forming visible vortexes of Spiritual Qi that converged wildly towards the mountain's interior and disappeared into the ever-expanding and solidifying chaotic Domain Heaven.
The sea around the island was calm with waves, and the pale blue halo in the sky flickered intermittently.
It seems to echo the new "little world" that is being born on the island.
At the same moment that Yellow Li, Qi Yun the isolated island of Huangli overseas, began to break through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, triggering the elevation of his own Dao Foundation and the initial manifestation of his Domain Heaven.
In the capital of the Southern Yin Dynasty, on the summit of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau Observatory of the Central Earth Continent.
This place soars into the clouds, as if one could reach out and pluck the stars from the sky.
The tabletop is covered with smooth, mirror-like black meteorites arranged in a mysterious formation, engraved with a celestial constellation and extremely complex divination patterns.
Under the night sky, starlight fell without obstruction, flowing across the surface of the meteorite platform and reflecting the array patterns.
The black-robed supervisor had changed into a more solemn robe and stood in the center of the observatory.
Before them floated an ancient Primordial Heaven Star Chart, over three zhang in diameter, neither gold nor jade, as thin as a cicada's wing yet as heavy as a mountain.
On the star chart, countless tiny points of light, like real stars, slowly flowed according to the star map, and countless extremely subtle causal threads appeared and disappeared within it.
The Crown Prince of Southern Yin stood quietly to one side, his face calm.
But a burning flame flickered in those deep eyes.
He released that pure and vast "supreme" aura once again.
However, this time it was more condensed, transforming into a point of purplish-gold primordial spiritual light, which hovered in front of the supervisor.
The guard's face was solemn and iron-like. He first bowed deeply to the Primordial Heaven Star Chart and the countless stars, reciting ancient and obscure prayers.
Immediately, he raised his hands and instantly unleashed hundreds and thousands of hand seals, each one drawing upon the stellar energy gathered on the observatory and merging into the Primordial Heaven Star Chart.
"Use the stars as your eyes, the air as your guide, trace the flow to its source, and see the truth!"
The supervisor gave a low shout and forcefully pressed the purple-gold supreme spiritual light originating from the Crown Prince into the center of the Primordial Heaven Star Chart!
"Buzz--!!!"
The Primordial Heaven Star Chart suddenly burst forth with a blinding starlight.
All the starlight points on the chart accelerated their rotation at an alarming rate, and the illusory threads of cause and effect trembled and extended violently, constructing an extremely complex and constantly evolving miniature causal network within the chart.
The space around the horoscope begins to distort, with only starlight and causal lines flickering within it.
The supervisor's hair and beard moved without wind, and his eyes transformed into a dazzling galaxy, reflecting all the changes on the star chart.
His Divine Sense had already connected with the Primordial Heaven Star Chart and the the Unseen river of heavenly secrets.
Using the "supreme aura" provided by the Crown Prince, they forcibly deduced another "supreme aura" that shared the same origin but was mutually exclusive and destined to be entangled with it!
On the astrolabe, the radiance of cause and effect spreads and searches wildly.
At first, everything was in chaos, with countless streams of information rushing by.
But these traces were quickly interfered with, covered, and confused by a layer of grayish-white force.
It is precisely the [Cause-Settling and Effect-Resolving Grand Formation] that is at work!
The supervisor frowned, his withered fingers repeatedly tapping the star chart, the star power surging, trying to penetrate that layer of gray and white confusion.
Because the divination performed by the supervisor was based on the Qi Yun (a concept in Chinese astrology), not on the Wealth Connects to the Divine.
The effects of the [Cause-Settling and Effect-Resolving Grand Formation] cannot cover everything.
The causal light struggled to penetrate a little, capturing a few even fainter remnants of energy, and—a tiny thread of causality pointing towards a distant overseas land!
"Overseas—chaos—concealment—" The supervisor's hoarse voice carried a heavy tone, "They possess extremely sophisticated methods of concealing heavenly secrets!"
This person has a master by his side who is well-versed in the secrets of heaven and cause and effect!
He activated the Primordial Heaven Star Chart with all his might, and the chart shone even brighter, attempting to forcefully trace back along the faint, almost broken causal line pointing overseas.
Starlight and lines of cause and effect extend and explore the endless, distant South Sea.
Gradually approaching that desolate sea area----
On Yellow Li Island, overseas, inside cave abode in the mountainside.
At the most critical moment of Qi Yun's breakthrough, the Dao Foundation has been raised to the halfway point.
The Chaos Domain Heaven expanded to a radius of twenty zhang, and its internal rules became increasingly perfect.
Suddenly, within his mind, the [Tribulation-Avoiding Incantation] that had been dormant and warning him once again stirred, faint yet clear!
The Ink Flood Dragon hidden in his sleeve also manifested, transforming into a thousand-foot-tall body, coiling Qi Yun him and firmly protecting him in the center.
A pair of scarlet eyes glanced left and right, faintly reflecting a few wisps of starlight.
Almost simultaneously, Cai Kun, the Wealth Connects to the Divine who was guarding outside, also sent a message: "Kid! A top-notch causal deduction technique is looking for you!"
Borrowing the aura of another supreme being as a guide, its power is extremely strong, and it is already close to reaching the outer edge of this sea area!
It was your arch-enemy who sent the expert!
