Sorry guys for not updating yesterday. I'm having some Internet problems. Anyways will be releasing yesterday's and today's chapters together.
-----------------------------------------------
Han Xuanji stared at that blank attribute.
At this moment, the four words "Xuantian Creation Body" hung quietly on the panel, as if they were always meant to be there.
This Physique had never appeared in the history of Chaos.
From the beginning of Chaos to the endless eras of today, countless brilliant Physiques had been born, but not one could be called "Xuantian Creation."
Han Xuanji suddenly remembered a book he had once read. There was a sentence written in it:
"The Dao is a path."
(T/N: Huh, that's it? The Dao is a path? That's all you could come up with og author?)
At the time, he only thought it meant that the "Dao" was the path of cultivation.
Now he finally knew— The Dao is a path.
And he had already become the Dao.
Han Xuanji closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into himself.
Originally, his Physique was a "composite" built layer upon layer from the Chaos True Spirit Body, Space-Time Dao Physique, Indestructible War God Body, Primordial Chaos Embryo... and countless top-tier Physiques and Origins.
But now it had gone a step further, like Chaos before Yin and Yang were divided, like the Void Realm before all things were born, like the "Existence" before it was born from "Non-existence," and the "Non-existence" before the myriad Laws took shape.
All returns to the Primordial Beginning, and the Primordial Beginning returns to Nothingness.
Existence is born from Nothingness, and Existence returns to Nothingness.
Xuantian Creation Body.
Han Xuanji sensed the changes in his Physical Body; his Limitless Primordial power had transformed into an even more powerful force that could contain all Laws but was not bound by them. For now, he called it Xuantian Power.
His body was also composed of this power, and his Physical Body and Divine Soul exceeded the imagination of others. If he wished, he could manifest into billions of Incarnations, projecting into the myriad worlds of the heavens. Every Incarnation would be the original, and every original could independently comprehend the Dao, cultivate independently, and even independently attain the Primordial Chaos—and when the Incarnations returned to the main body, all cultivation and insights would be like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, without a single omission.
Five Elements, Yin and Yang, Space-Time, Karma, Life and Death, Reincarnation, Destruction, Creation... all Great Dao Laws were to him like breathing; a single thought brought them forth, a single movement made them follow.
This was [Myriad Transformations Returning to One].
More importantly, he perceived that this body could endure ten thousand tribulations, unafraid of being destroyed by them.
If Chaos returned to the ruins, he could be Rebirth in the ruins; if the Great Dao collapsed, he could recreate it after its destruction.
Even if his form and spirit were both destroyed and his Dao Fruit shattered, as long as a single trace of "Creation" opportunity remained in the world, he could return once more from that spark of life.
One must know that outside of Chaos, there was also spirituality and vitality.
This was [Creation Indestructibility].
The Profound Heaven Realm he had opened also received immense benefits, expanding once again, and a new batch of "Children of Luck" were born, inheriting this great Luck.
Perhaps, before long, existences of the Primordial Chaos level would be born.
Han Xuanji did not let his Divided Soul focus on the Profound Heaven Realm; instead, in the midst of everything, he captured an extremely faint sensation within the Immortal Realm.
That was... a path.
"Is this the Dao Marker leading to the Hongmeng Sea?"
Han Xuanji opened his eyes and looked toward the Land of Reincarnation in the Immortal Realm. He hadn't expected the path to transcendence to be within the Immortal Realm, and specifically within the Land of Reincarnation.
The instinct of Chaos would naturally prevent the transcendence of Chaos creatures; trying to smuggle oneself out was naturally not that simple.
For creatures like the Chaos Demon Gods, transcendence was almost impossible.
They were born with Chaos; leaving Chaos was no different from suicide.
However, this Dao Marker left by the Dao Ancestor could help one smuggle themselves into the Hongmeng Sea.
"If the Dao Ancestor shared this Dao Marker, it would probably cause a great upheaval in Chaos."
Han Xuanji thought silently.
Of course, he was only thinking about it.
If it were truly made public, it might instead be repaired by the Chaos Will. And he had no intention of going to the Hongmeng Sea right now. Rashly entering a new map, he didn't have the confidence. He planned to use the simulation function to see if he could simulate a more distant future, preferably to see the scenery outside of Chaos.
While Han Xuanji was thinking, he suddenly remembered something. Years ago, he had sensed a familiar aura entering the Xuantian Dao Palace. They should have something to talk to him about.
"Since you have arrived, Fellow Daoist, why not come in for a chat?"
Han Xuanji's voice was not loud, sounding like he was talking to himself.
This voice reached a side hall in the Xuantian Dao Palace, where many Disciples were discussing the Dao, and Li Taiqing was occasionally giving them pointers.
At this moment, all the Disciples looked up together, their eyes meeting. Including Li Taiqing, everyone was stunned.
That was the Ancestral Master's voice.
Fellow Daoist?
Who was the Ancestral Master talking to?
Everyone looked at each other.
Li Taiqing was also somewhat confused.
Until among the crowd, a young Disciple dressed in a white jade Dao robe looked up, and a very faint smile suddenly appeared in those eyes that were usually downcast.
"Fellow Daoist has finally come out of seclusion."
He slowly stood up. His features were handsome but not extraordinary, his aura was peaceful, and his cultivation was only at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Middle Stage. Among the many Xuantian Dao Palace Prodigies, he was not prominent.
In the hundred years since he entered the Dao Palace, no one had ever given him a second look.
Now that he stood up, several gazes from all around fell upon him, filled with doubt and a hint of surprise.
"Senior Brother Wu Hao?"
A young Disciple sitting next to him called out softly, frowning, not understanding his intent.
The Ancestral Master had called out "Fellow Daoist."
Although Senior Brother Wu Hao was a quiet person, he was just an ordinary Disciple. How could he be worthy of the Ancestral Master's address?
Could it be... he misunderstood?
Or was it just a coincidence that Senior Brother Wu Hao stood up at this time?
A young-looking Disciple lowered his voice, with a bit of pity:
"Should we call him back? Going forward so rashly, if the Ancestral Master wasn't calling him, wouldn't it be..."
He didn't finish, but the unspoken meaning flowed through everyone's gazes.
Some Disciples were about to speak up to warn him, but they saw the figure in the white jade Dao robe had already started walking, unhurriedly heading outside.
His steps were composed, without a hint of hesitation.
Zhou Li watched him pass by his side, his robe brushing against the bluestone, just like usual.
But that back view, for no reason, actually revealed a bit of indescribable profundity.
"Has he gone mad?"
An older Disciple finally couldn't help but frown and whisper:
"What status does the Ancestral Master have? He is but a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, how dare he be so..."
He didn't finish the word "reckless."
But those words were clearly written in everyone's eyes.
Zhou Li still sat in his place and said:
"Fellow Senior and Junior Brothers, please calm down."
He was now a second-generation Disciple of the Xuantian Dao Palace, a student of the Dao Palace's Great Master Senior Brother Li Taiqing. Once he spoke, the hall immediately became quiet.
Zhou Li's tone was calm, as if stating a fact.
"The Fellow Daoist the Ancestral Master called for just now might indeed be Junior Brother Wu Hao."
The hall went silent for a moment.
Then, someone instinctively retorted:
"How is that possible? Junior Brother Wu Hao is only..."
"Quiet."
Li Taiqing spoke up to interrupt, telling everyone not to continue the discussion.
Zhou Li didn't speak again.
He just lowered his eyes and thought silently.
Since entering the Dao Palace and listening to Han Xuanji's lecture, his cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds as if he had been enlightened. Later, Li Taiqing had also taken the opportunity to accept him as a Disciple and treated him very well.
And this Junior Brother Wu Hao also often talked with him. Unlike other Disciples, the other party didn't flatter him because of his status as a second-generation Disciple of the Dao Palace; he seemed to value his future more?
It was as if he could see through everything about him, which made Zhou Li feel strangely uneasy.
Li Taiqing looked at Zhou Li, feeling more and more that this Disciple of his was good.
Facing such a situation, he remained calm and had his own judgment.
He had also noticed Wu Hao's extraordinary nature, but he couldn't see through Wu Hao's Origins. However, thinking that Han Xuanji had no objections, he let the other party be.
On the other side.
Han Xuanji also witnessed this scene.
He had indeed known for a long time that the Heavenly Emperor had been hanging around the Xuantian Dao Palace for a while. He didn't expect this fellow to have his eyes on Zhou Li.
Was he trying to poach from him?
In fact, this Zhou Li was not simple either. It was just that the other party himself didn't know his own Origins. The Heavenly Emperor had likely seen something.
[Zhou Li: Grand Unity Golden Immortal Level 1, Reincarnation of Lingxu Dao Venerable, a person of great Luck, born with a Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasure. As his cultivation increases, his cultivation Aptitude will gradually improve. When he achieves Primordial Chaos, he will realize his past and present lives.]
