Breakthrough! Transformation! Great Thousand! Great Thousand-
East Sea.
Changsheng's Dao Field.
Tree of the Great Dao, Ao Changsheng sat cross-legged, his inner world circulating as he continuously absorbed Innate Spiritual Qi to strengthen it.
Ao Changsheng, however, kept his eyes closed, his divine sense fixed on the Starry Great Dao Fruit on the Tree of the Great Dao.
Feeling the Great Dao of the Stars emanating from it.
"Call--"
Ao Changsheng let out a long breath, opened his eyes, and it seemed as if the sun, moon, and billions of stars were flowing within them.
"We've reached our limit!"
Ao Changsheng muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the Star Great Dao Fruit.
This fruit is not yet ripe, but it will be soon. If Ao Changsheng controls the Tree of the Great Dao to supply this Starry Great Dao Fruit as much as possible...
In ten years at most, the Great Dao Fruit will ripen.
Even if one goes with the flow, it will take at most a hundred years for the Great Dao Fruit Stars to ripen.
But.
When Ao Changsheng said he had reached his limit, he was not referring to the Star Great Dao Fruit reaching its limit.
Rather, it was because his understanding of the Great Dao of these stars had reached its limit.
Although he now possesses strength and realm comparable to Sage, his fundamental cultivation method and his inner world have not yet fully entered that realm.
If he continues to gain insights...
If he were to fully comprehend the Great Dao of the Stars, it would likely affect his understanding and perception of the Great Dao of the World.
Before one has fully entered the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal and has completely perfected the Great Dao of the World.
He could no longer progress on the Great Dao of the Stars.
"It'll be soon."
Ao Changsheng silently said to himself.
His inner world has now reached the pinnacle of the Middle Thousand World, and he is now preparing to transform into the Great Thousand World.
And the temple has a continuous supply of Innate Spiritual Qi.
Ao Changsheng might even complete the transformation of his inner world before the Star Great Dao Fruit matures.
Oh, and we should also add the World Tree in the Divine Land Universe, which represents the world's origin accumulated over billions of years.
For this transformation and advancement of the inner world.
Over the years, his World Tree has absorbed Innate Spiritual Qi in addition to maintaining the normal operation of the Divine Land Universe.
All of it was condensed by Ao Changsheng into the origin of this world, which delayed the growth of the World Tree and the growth of the Divine Land Universe.
Thinking of this.
Ao Changsheng stood up, took a step, and landed directly in the Divine Land Universe.
Ao Changsheng calmly at the World Tree before him, whose canopy covered the vast world and whose roots spanned the universe.
They walked step by step toward the main trunk of the World Tree, which occupied a small part of the universe.
As Ao Changsheng approached, the tree trunk, which was absolutely comparable to Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, or even Innate Supreme Treasure, quietly separated.
Ao Changsheng followed the separated tree trunks and arrived at the heart of the World Tree.
Looking at the green crystal in front of him, no bigger than a baby's fist, he thought, "If Ao Changsheng weren't the master of this World Tree..."
It's hard to believe that the heart of the World Tree, a creature whose size rivals the Great Thousand World and whose dimensions exceed the imagination of living beings, is so tiny.
Looking at the world's origin accumulated within the green crystal, Ao Changsheng immediately smiled.
Indeed, it was a World Tree, a being of the vast universe level, that had accumulated the essence of the world over billions of years.
To help him, a top-tier player in the Middle Thousand World who was already on the verge of advancement, gain sufficient foundation.
More than enough.
Ao Changsheng collected all the world's origin, and then, with a thought, directly released the World Tree's command to condense the world's origin.
This allowed it to resume its supply and grow stronger.
Meanwhile, Ao Changsheng's avatar brought the world's origin to his secluded original self.
Having spent years in seclusion cultivating, Ao Changsheng, though preferring the form of his Innate Dao Body, undoubtedly found his true dragon form more comfortable.
The White Dragon's body, which had been lying coiled together, stretched out, opened its eyes, looked at its avatar, and opened its mouth.
Like a waterspout.
The very essence of the world was sucked into Ao Changsheng's mouth without missing a single drop.
Similarly, it is also absorbed into the inner world.
Within Ao Changsheng's White Dragon body, in the Unseen, a point of light flickered, occupying a tiny point in the Unseen void, infinitely small yet seemingly infinitely large.
A vast and magnificent world revolves within it.
Just like a normal person breathing, this world expands and contracts imperceptibly, absorbing the influx of the world's origin.
And with each breath the world takes, the influx of the world's essence is transformed into the world's foundation.
"Boom--"
In an instant, without any warning.
That vast world suddenly exploded.
An endless, terrifying destructive force raged through this the Unseen void, and the invisible land within the Unseen was ravaged and carved out by this destructive power.
But in the very center of the Unseen void, a glimmer of life was gathering.
The endless destructive power raged wildly, yet this glimmer of life within it shone like the sun and stars, dazzling and brilliant.
Furthermore, incredibly, it was devouring and assimilating that terrifying destructive power, rapidly strengthening itself and covering the endless, violently expanding destructive power.
Ao Changsheng watched all of this quietly.
He watched as everything unfolded within his dragon body.
That's right, the so-called the Unseen is not a real void, but Ao Changsheng's dragon body.
It is an unknown space existing within the dragon's body, in its inner world.
Even Ao Changsheng would find it difficult to reach the unknown void within this body without using his inner world as a coordinate.
At this moment.
Everything that happened before his eyes naturally.
It was Ao Changsheng who was breaking through.
Then transform the Middle Thousand World the body into the Great Thousand World.
The moment the destructive power completely cleared the Unseen within Ao Changsheng's body, that sliver of life completely devoured the destructive power.
That meant that Ao Changsheng had completed the opening of the Great Thousand World within his body, and naturally achieved a breakthrough.
Of course, it's easier said than done.
But in reality, Ao Changsheng's breakthrough was extremely dangerous.
If.
Ao Changsheng was unable to devour and assimilate the life force of the new world the instant the destructive power transformed from his inner world completely cleared the Unseen so-called void within the dragon's body.
Ao Changsheng's breakthrough this time is bound to fail.
The moment the newly opened world was covered by the power of destruction, the power of destruction would burst forth, destroying Ao Changsheng's dragon body and causing his true form to perish.
From this day forward, there will be no more Ao Changsheng.
Only one world exists: the Great World of the True Dragon, where Ao Changsheng.
However, if it had been a moment earlier, the destructive power would not have completely and thoroughly filled and cultivated Ao Changsheng's dragon body in the Unseen.
Ao Changsheng's breakthrough attempt also failed this time.
What he creates will not be a perfect and Great Thousand World, but a flawed one.
From now on, Ao Changsheng will make no further progress.
However, looking at everything before him, Ao Changsheng remained calm and undisturbed, without the slightest ripple in his heart.
Ao Changsheng made no attempt to control the speed at which that sliver of life force devoured and assimilated the endless destructive power.
It seems like a fleeting moment, yet also like eternity.
That glimmer of hope had already completely devoured the endless destructive power.
At this very moment, the void in the Unseen was filled with this vitality, seemingly both infinitely small and infinitely vast.
It was empty and desolate, yet overflowing with boundless vitality.
"Finally, I've broken through!"
Ao Changsheng stretched out his dragon body, feeling the power of the world filling his body, and revealed a smile.
Everything fell into place naturally. The perilous breakthrough seemed to have no effect on Ao Changsheng; everything was so easy and pleasant.
If Ao Changsheng had only relied on the power of the Middle Thousand World his body before...
Now that the world has undergone its transformation, the inner world has been completely integrated into Ao Changsheng's dragon body.
Now, his dragon body is this world, and the world is also his current dragon body.
Among these.
It is the difference between zero and one, and also the difference between one and ten thousand.
Ao Changsheng doesn't even know how strong he really is.
The difference between the Great Thousand World and the Middle Thousand World is enormous.
This is not simply a difference in size.
It's important to understand that even a Small Thousand World with sufficient energy can expand infinitely.
It extends to a breadth beyond imagination.
The difference Middle Thousand World and the Great Thousand World is a true dimensional gap.
You need to know.
The Primordial World was also a vast and diverse Great Thousand World.
In the Chaos, countless worlds rise and fall, but only the eternal universe can withstand the onslaught of Chaos World.
It even absorbs the power of Chaos to strengthen the world.
However, the Middle Thousand World can only survive by depending on the Great Thousand World.
Feeling that familiar yet unfamiliar power within my body.
He said he was familiar with it because he had experienced this level of power countless times when it was empowered by the power of the Daoist temple or by the power of the Divine Land.
To say it's unfamiliar.
This is because their own power is too great.
It clearly felt like the power of the dojo and the blessing of the Divine Land Universe.
But they are worlds apart.
The difference is so great that it's hard to describe.
Ao Changsheng himself didn't know whether he was now Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Because the Method of Opening an Inner World was ultimately not the proper path of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
His current situation is vastly different from that of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
But...
At this point, he must have already reached the level of Heavenly Dao Sage, a Great Dao Sage, or a Hunyuan Daluo Immortal.
"A name is nothing important. Now, I am Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!" Ao Changsheng murmured to himself.
At his current level, Ao Changsheng no longer cares about empty fame.
What's the point of giving someone an incredibly powerful name?
It's all just an illusion!
Ao Changsheng wore a mysterious smile.
Um!
That's exactly right.
He didn't remain unnamed because he was bad at naming things and couldn't think of a name that suited his level of understanding.
Feel the vast, empty world within my body.
Ao Changsheng's gaze was as calm as still water, and with each breath, the vast Innate Spiritual Qi within the entire Daoist temple spanned hundreds of millions of miles.
But it was all silently sucked into Ao Changsheng's mouth.
And from some unknown the Unseen, endless Innate Spiritual Qi poured into the Daoist temple.
But...
Yet, Ao Changsheng still swallowed them all.
As if sensing the absorption within the Daoist temple, Ao Changsheng felt the speed at which Innate Spiritual Qi flowed back into that unknowable place, and the rate at which it increased rapidly.
Each breath was several times more than before.
Even so, it still took nine breaths.
The speed at which Innate Spiritual Qi flowed into that unknown place was only matching the speed at which Ao Changsheng absorbed it.
One more breath.
Only Innate Spiritual Qi be replenished in the temple.
Ao Changsheng could almost feel an endless, immense power brewing within his body.
At this very moment, the Law Power refined with each breath is comparable to the billions of years of arduous cultivation that Ao Changsheng had before his breakthrough.
Even before the breakthrough, the Great Dao of the World, which had already been comprehended to its peak, underwent a transformation with this breakthrough in the inner world.
However, unlike previous times when the world underwent transformation, when the world evolved with the help of the Supreme Great Dao of Chaos, the Great Dao of the World was comprehended.
When he broke through to the Great Thousand World, Ao Changsheng was unaware that his world was evolving with the help of the Supreme Great Dao of Chaos.
Although the Method of Opening a World Within the Body is miraculous, the creation of a Great Thousand World, no matter how miraculous, cannot continue to conceal it from the Supreme Great Dao of Chaos.
However, at this time, Ao Changsheng did not need the Supreme Great Dao of Chaos to assist his Great Thousand World in its transformation.
He has already embarked on his own Great Dao of the World.
Although his body had become the world, he was different from those Dao-Merging Sages in the Primordial World who, after comprehending a Great Dao, completely transformed into the form of that Great Dao.
He, Ao Changsheng, made the world, and the Great Dao of the World, take his form.
At this moment, Ao Changsheng's heart was not filled with any mysteries about the Great Dao of the World; there was only... the outline of a Great Thousand World within his heart.
In the past, those Divine Ability abilities created according to the Great Dao of the World could now be easily unleashed by Ao Changsheng with just a moment's thought.
Ao Changsheng also had a very strange feeling.
In the past, he was creating various supernatural Divine Ability that were not yet perfected, or that were simply in his imagination and had no clue whatsoever.
At that moment, he used it in the blink of an eye.
"Is this... the true Great Thousand World, the true Hunyuan Power?"
Just like millions of years ago, when Laozi became a sage, Ao Changsheng said the following words to describe Sage.
"The Heavenly Dao Sage... endures countless eons without being eroded, and remains untainted by karma."
"He is eternally present with Heaven, and coexists with the Way; the Sage knows everything and is omnipotent."
"The Sage understands all things and the Great Thousand World; he sees the past, present, and future in his eyes, and he holds time, space, birth, death, and reincarnation in the palm of his hand."
"Wuji and boundless, without birth or death, returning to the stillness of emptiness, capable of gathering and dispersing, neither born nor dying, imperishable through countless eons."
"Transcending time and space, untouched by cause and effect, roaming beyond the material world, not bound by the cycle of time and space, existing eternally."
"Below the Sage, all are but ants."
Sage, wielding the Power of the Heavenly Dao, are invincible throughout the Primordial World.
The difference between cultivators below the level of Sage is a difference in dimensions.
Without Heavenly Dao Sage, Great Dao Sage, or Hunyuan Daluo, there is no power of this level.
Even if there are many cultivators, they are nothing more than ants to Sage.
Within Ao Changsheng's Inner Heaven and Earth Cultivation Method.
The difference between the Great Thousand World and the Middle Thousand World is also a difference in dimensions.
Perhaps Ao Changsheng's extraordinary Daoist power, and his ability to forcibly gather the power of a Great Thousand World using the perfected Great Dao of the World, are all at the Hunyuan level.
This allowed Ao Changsheng, with the help of the power of the Daoist temple and the power of the Divine Land Universe, to make his combat power match, or even surpass, the level of an ordinary Sage.
But...
Without reaching this level, one can never truly understand it.
Ao Changsheng suddenly remembered that he had once Zhunti in the East Sea.
Now that he has truly reached this level, Ao Changsheng feels quite fortunate.
Fortunately, they Zhunti, that fraudulent Heavenly Dao Sage.
Regardless of the merits or demerits of the cultivation systems of Heavenly Dao Sage, Great Dao Sage, and Hunyuan Daluo.
In terms of combat strength alone...
In the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao Sage who can draw upon the Power of the Heavenly Dao is undoubtedly the strongest.
Zhunti, who had not severed his Three Corpses, forcibly attained enlightenment by relying on the Primordial purple qi, and thus remained Heavenly Dao Sage.
Just like Ao Changsheng using external forces to rival Sage.
Zhunti, Yuanshi, and Tongtian all achieved the status of Heavenly Dao Sage with the help of external forces.
However, his own realm was far from reaching the true Sage Realm Heavenly Dao Saint.
Strictly speaking, he could at most be called a Half-Sage.
Although Ao Changsheng did not reach the level of Sage from the Hunyuan, that was due to a lack of accumulation.
In terms of realm, Ao Changsheng's Great Dao of the World had already reached perfection.
To some extent, Ao Changsheng, whose level of attainment rivals that of Sage but whose accumulated power is still somewhat lacking, should be called Sub-Sage.
Sub-Sage! Half-Sage!
Strictly speaking, neither is superior to the other.
It's like climbing a mountain called Sage or Hunyuan.
The Sub-Sage had already found the path to the summit, but his body was weak and he lacked the strength to climb, so he needed to proceed slowly.
The Half-Sage, on the other hand, is someone who is strong and powerful enough to reach the summit, but cannot find the path to the top.
After accumulating enough Sub-Sage, one can naturally reach the summit.
The Half-Sage can swiftly ascend to the summit the moment he finds the path.
Ao Changsheng, at the Sub-Sage level, manipulated the power of the Daoist temple and the power of the two Hunyuan levels of the Divine Land Universe.
It could easily suppress Zhunti, who had only reached the Zhunti of Sage through the Power of the Heavenly Dao.
If...
At that time, Ao Changsheng was Jieyin with any one of the three true Heavenly Dao Sage: Nüwa, Laozi, or Jieyin.
Such an easy suppression is simply impossible.
Ultimately, it might even escalate into an epic showdown.
Certainly.
If it were today, the outcome would be hard to say.
Although in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao Sage, by harnessing the Power of the Heavenly Dao, are far stronger than the Great Dao Sage and even stronger than the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
But Ao Changsheng was neither Great Dao Sage nor an ordinary Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Ao Changsheng didn't know if he could easily suppress a true Heavenly Dao Sage if he made a move now.
Because in the instant that he achieved the Great Thousand World within his body, Ao Changsheng no longer knew just how powerful he had become.
"Perhaps..."
Ao Changsheng raised his head, his gaze shifted slightly, and a single thought pierced through the universe and the Primordial World.
We entered the endless River of Space and Time.
