Beware of Shenji, a Gift!
I learned the truth about the world.
It took Qin Lu a long time to accept the whole truth. If Venerable Mieyang said was true, then he wanted to take it a step further...
So from now on, he needs to start preparing.
Since we can't change the world, we can only create it ourselves...
Creation requires two parts: one is the core of the world, also known as the Grotto-Heaven, Qin Lu needs to obtain from the Great Dao Long River of Souls...
A new branch emerges, and this new branch is then cut off from the Great Dao, allowing it to coexist with its own Dao Law...
This forms Grotto-Heaven, creating a completely independent river of the Great Dao.
The prerequisite for this step is possessing the Spirit Transformation cultivation level; only Spirit Transformation Venerable can merge with the Great Dao of this world...
Only then can one control the Great Dao Long River, and thus generate branches.
If one were to forcibly intercept the Great Dao Long River with the Nascent Soul cultivation level, and use the Nascent Soul to bear the power of the Grotto-Heaven, one would be utterly unable to withstand the backlash from the Great Dao...
Thinking back to that year, the death of the Eight Seas True Lord was so inexplicable...
Qin Lu suspected that the Eight Seas True Lord had accidentally obtained the inheritance of that Venerable Huadao and learned the Grotto-Heaven Creation Method...
Ultimately, he perished from the backlash of the Great Dao.
Only in this way can we explain how such a brilliant talent could die so quietly...
Once the Grotto-Heaven is initially formed, the next step is to continuously improve it and add similar Great Daos, thus constantly perfecting and stabilizing the Grotto-Heaven -Grotto-Heaven...
In this way, the core principles of a world can be determined.
After that, it's time to create the secret realm!
Through long-term nurturing, the secret realm will continuously expand in area, eventually leading to its Spirit Ascension, and this will become the prototype of a world...
The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth must be introduced as the foundation, forming the cornerstone of the world!
When all five elements are present, it is then combined with the Grotto-Heaven.
A new world can then be created; only by relying on the support of an entire world can a cultivator be helped to break through to the Purple Void Realm...
And thus ascend to immortality and attain enlightenment!
The strength of Purple Void Immortal is usually determined by the strength of his own world; the stronger the world, the greater the power it provides to the Purple Void Immortal...
The more powerful the Purple Void Immortal becomes, the stronger his world will be!
More and more powerful individuals will emerge!
According to the records of the ancestor Venerable Mieyang, in the Upper Realm...
Immortals are extremely rare, and most of them form alliances or factions, which are not simply based on mutual interests...
Rather, it represents a certain rule of heaven and earth, a manifestation of a certain order.
However those--
For Qin Lu now, it's still too far away...
Compared to all that, the very fact that Qin Lu could construct a world at present was enough to give him a major headache; even breaking through to the Spirit Transformation would require countless difficulties...
However, Qin Lu was, after all, the first young man to truly understand the meaning of the word "desire".
Although he was not suitable to inherit the legacy of Venerable Mieyang, he naturally wouldn't let the journey be in vain. Venerable Mieyang ultimately...
Qin Lu was given two choices!
Firstly, one obtains a Yan Sheng Flower, a Dao Source Treasure the Soul Dao Path, and a Heavenly Net Life Fruit —three treasures corresponding to: the Heart Tribulation, the Dao Tribulation, and the Fate Tribulation...
It can assist cultivators in overcoming the three difficulties and greatly increase their future advancement speed.
Secondly, by obtaining the cultivation Cultivation Method of the Venerable Mieyang, Qin Lu could choose to abandon the Soul Dao and specialize in cultivating Yang Fire-related Dao Law...
Or perhaps it's passed down to future generations, hoping that they can enter this place, inherit the entire mantle of the Venerable Mieyang, and obtain the Mieyang Immortal Palace...
To prove that Purple Void ascended to immortality!
The two options are straightforward: choose to be strong yourself, or place your hopes on an unknown fate...
Qin Lu chuckled and, without the slightest hesitation, chose the first option.
One must be strong to forge iron. His path is no less than other great paths. Rather than relying on external forces, Qin Lu has more faith in himself!
And I have even greater faith in myself and in the great path I pursue!
True strength comes from self-reliance. Constantly depending on others will ultimately backfire. Instead of learning from others, learn to be yourself first...
This is Qin Lu's answer; he possesses a fearless heart!
I'm willing to fight for it and be my own master!
With the three treasures in his hands, Qin Lu's trip was quite successful. He not only obtained many treasures, but also three rare gems that could aid in his breakthrough...
They also learned the truth about the world and had a clearer plan for the future!
Before leaving--
Qin Lu then asked several more questions, saying:
"Senior, is there truly no chance of you being brought back to life?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Mieyang shook his head slightly. His face, as Void as the starry sky, showed only a few slight ripples, and his words carried a hint of relief:
"Dead is dead. There's no way to bring someone back to life. Even if there were, I wouldn't want to occupy this position..."
"To prevent future competitors from entering the market."
"I have already been fortunate enough to attain the Spirit Transformation, and this loss is a matter of Heavenly Fate. If I am not enlightened, someone else will follow..."
"By asking Heaven's voice, one can attain the highest level of Immortal Method."
"Besides, isn't it just as you said, death is not necessarily the end of everything; it is also the beginning of all new life..."
"Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, when this Mieyang Immortal Palace truly becomes a world in itself..."
"I might be reborn under a different identity, after all, I've reached the Spirit Transformation, and although my physical lifespan has run out..."
"But after all, the will has long since merged into the Great Dao itself."
"As long as the Great Dao endures, the will will never die. Ultimately, though one may gradually sink into the Great Dao and completely merge with it..."
"But the Great Dao itself will also inherit the will of the original self, and in the future, a new me may be born."
Speaking of this--
The Venerable Mieyang Extinction's magnanimity made Qin Lu look at him in a new light...
That's what they say, but is this new self truly himself? Willpower and thought cannot be inherited...
Is he still the same person he always was?
Qin Lu's continuation is a new self, inheriting everything from his past self, while the Venerable Mieyang is someone who has completely changed himself...
Qin Lu has no right to judge; perhaps everyone has their own pursuit of the Great Dao.
And then--
Venerable Mieyang earnestly reminded him, "The path is under your own feet, but sometimes, the human heart is unpredictable..."
"Your fate is quite unique; you must be wary of Shenji, my old friend. His obsessions run far deeper than mine..."
"I cannot see through him, nor can I see through your future."
May your path in Daoism prosper!
As soon as the words fell—
A flash of light appeared before Qin Lu's eyes, and the next moment, he was teleported out of the Profound Yang Grotto-Heaven, and found himself in a magnificent immortal palace!
Before Qin Lu lay a remarkably complete history of the Human Race...
It contains all historical records from the time Human Race entered the Frost Cloud Realm until the present day, spanning over 70,000 years...
It records countless secrets.
Even at the very end, Qin Lu witnessed the establishment of the Great Qin and the reappearance of the Mieyang Immortal Palace, as if he were reading a living history book...
"Guiyang, the spirit of the Historical Record Book!"
"Entrusted by my former master, I will now serve you. From this day forward, you are Guiyang's new master, and I bow to you in Guiyang..."
A voice came from behind him, Qin Lu turned around to look.
Then a young man in red robes was seen respectfully bowing to Qin Lu. He was the spirit of the book in his hand, which was called the Historical Record Book!
This was none other than a Fifth-Tier Innate Spirit Treasure!
Moreover, its quality was even better than that of the Heaven Burial Banner. At this moment, the spirit of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Heaven Burial Boy, ran out...
With the air of an elder brother, he held his head high and gladly accepted Guiyang's bow!
"Good!"
"From now on, you'd better serve your master well! I'll protect you, brother!"
