Chapter 1189, The Completion of the Chaos Gold Core (Combined Chapter)
"That talisman seems to be able to absorb the power of the free True Immortal inscriptions. It should be able to be used as a cover."
"However, it is the first time that the Tower of Immortal Break has appeared, even in the so-called source of Immortal Boat Dao, the 'Palace of Dao' also does not have any relevant records."
Li Fan's divine gaze fell on Zhao Xian, who was sleeping, in an instant.
"The level system of the Immortal Boat is strict, and many people have never left their own continent in their entire lives. A strong fortress still needs to find a way to break in from the inside."
The divine gaze lightly pointed at Li Fan's forehead.
In a trance, Zhao Xian seemed to have had a long dream.
In the dream, the Tower of Immortal Break and the Temple of Immortal Axis struggled for a long time without distinguishing a winner. The struggle became increasingly fierce, and the methods became more extreme. It eventually led to a catastrophic disaster. The Immortal Boat fell into the depths of the Sea of Relics, and it was completely destroyed. There was no one left alive on the Immortal Boat, including Zhao Xian himself.
Waking up from the nightmare, Zhao Xian, who was usually open-minded and optimistic, took a long time to recover, with a pale face.
The reason was that the dream was too real. Zhao Xian could still remember the details of the dream so clearly that he felt as if he had returned to the past.
"In the dream, ten years later, the Salvage Team of the Immortal Boat found a supreme treasure called the 'Yanfa Jue' in the Sea of Relics. It can deduce different methods at all times, and even deduce them directionally according to conditions. For the ownership of the 'Yanfa Jue', the Tower of Immortal Break and the Temple of Immortal Axis fought fiercely. In the end, it was temporarily kept by our Palace of Dao. Although the palace gained an unimaginable number of methods during this period, it also laid the groundwork for future trouble."
"As an elite disciple of the Palace, I had the honor of studying a part of these methods in my dream."
"'The Divine Sword of the Infinite Sea'..."
Zhao Xian unconsciously began to operate the content of the methods in his dream.
After a moment, he suddenly changed color.
"How is this possible?"
Zhao Xian recalled even more profound method content.
'The 'Tai Kang Geng Jin Qi' sword, the 'Heavenly Emperor Qi Dian,' the 'Two Qi Illuminating the Void and Annihilating the Gods Method,' the 'Immeasurable Heavenly Pivot Departure Method'...
One historic and renowned unique method after another appeared in his mind.
Every word and sentence, extremely clear.
Meditating on the movements brought about by reciting these method sentences also made Zhao Xian realize that these were not figments of his imagination. They were genuine supreme methods!
"These methods, not to mention me, there is no one in the entire Palace of Dao who can deduce them..."
Zhao Xian's heart was pounding.
"Could it be that I really traveled back from the future?"
For a good half a day, Zhao Xian couldn't accept this reality. Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why such a bizarre thing would happen to him.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.
Zhao Xian's thoughts soon focused on the downfall of the Immortal Boat in his dream.
"If that is true..."
"I must change everything." Zhao Xian subconsciously clenched his fists.
After experiencing too many cruel things in the dream, the young Zhao Xian had become much calmer. Instead of habitually using the 'Ten Thousand Records' to search for a solution, because he knew that every time he spoke or browsed within it, it would all be under the surveillance of the Palace.
"The downfall of the Immortal Boat is too horrifying. It cannot be revealed to others, not even to the Master. It is also absolutely necessary to ensure that the Palace of Dao, an organization that will be completely destroyed in future struggles, does not know about it, otherwise no one can guarantee that they will not act more extremely, or even cause the premature destruction of the Immortal Boat."
Walking back and forth in the room, Zhao Xian's mind was racing. Since the dream, he seemed to have become much more agile in his thinking.
"The Master is right. The Immortal Boat must have, and can only have, one helmsman. But the irreconcilable conflict between the Tower of Immortal Break and the Temple of Immortal Axis, if left to their own devices, the destruction of the Immortal Boat is inevitable."
"The best way is to swiftly empower one side to gain overwhelming advantage in a short time."
Zhao Xian's eyes sparkled. "Although the memories of some of the details of the people and things in the dream are now blurred, the memories of future methods and secrets are very clear. With these advanced data, I am confident that I can help one side unify the Immortal Boat. As for whom to help..."
After recalling what the two organizations did, as well as their governing principles, Zhao Xian ultimately decided to choose the Tower of Immortal Break.
"Now is the best time for the Tower of Immortal Break to reveal itself. I can easily blend in as long as I show a little talent."
"My current strength is still too weak, and I need to improve as soon as possible. Thankfully, I now have so many magical methods in my mind."
"As long as I have enough resources, breaking through two major realms within a year is not a problem."
Zhao Xian closed his eyes and prepared to make a breakthrough that would shake the Palace of Dao when he came out.
What he did not realize was that, by his side, a faint, almost invisible figure was gazing at him.
Naturally, this figure was Li Fan's divine presence.
"Without the restriction of not being able to cultivate different methods together, the countless methods I've seen in the past can now be fully utilized here."
"Compared to the treacherous Xuan Huang realm, this Immortal Boat is truly a paradise."
Li Fan, who was hindered at every turn in the Xuan Huang world, was now causing a stir on the Immortal Boat, feeling the joy of being able to fully utilize his supreme skills.
...
After crossing half of the starry sea, I encountered the mysterious immortal boat civilization hidden in the ocean of relics, and finally found a breakthrough and lurked.
Altogether, Li Fan used about a little over a year.
Because the flow speed in different regions of the starry sea varies, in the Xuanhuang world, it has actually been less than half a year since then.
In half a year, the Wanxian Alliance has recovered from the great upheaval in the Xuanhuang world.
The distorted white mist barrier in the world has also returned to its original state.
The memories of the catastrophe among the cultivators have also gradually become unclear. Everything seems to have returned to the beginning.
In the affiliated small world of the Xuanhuang world, in the Great Awakening of the Holy Dynasty, the changes in the past half year can be described as "ever-changing."
"Eve-changing", not just an adjective. In the sky of the Great Awakening, there really appeared a spectacle that could compete with the sun and moon.
It was centered on five vague halos, with more and more sparkling stars appearing around them.
It is clearly visible even during the day.
And at night, it completely overshadows the original starlight of the Great Awakening.
According to legend, the five halos symbolize the five direct disciples of the Holy Emperor.
And the stars that appear around the halos, one after another, represent the many outstanding talents emerging in the Great Awakening.
This rumor is not groundless, but has ample evidence.
Just three days ago, the entire population of the Great Awakening saw with their own eyes a sparkling star near the halo suddenly burst out with a brightness a hundred times greater than usual.
And then it turned into a beam of light, shooting straight towards the Holy Throne in the Sacred Capital.
The phenomenon lasted for nearly half a day before the beam of light that pierced the heavens and the earth dissipated.
After that, people also realized that the star in the sky also disappeared and descended to the world.
If the disciples of the Holy Emperor can trigger such a spectacle, what about the Holy Emperor himself?
Six months ago, after the turmoil caused by the Emperor's martial arts performance, people once again began to discuss and speculate about the Emperor's great strength. Of course, this was only done in private.
The entire Great Awakening of the Holy Dynasty has almost reached a terrifying level of worship and trust in the Holy Emperor.
At this moment, the extraordinary Holy Emperor in the hearts of the people of the Great Awakening is frowning, staring at a white-haired youth sitting cross-legged in front of him.
Contrary to popular belief, when the beam of light that was said to bring stars to the world fell from the sky three days ago, Li Ping, the Holy Emperor, did not feel any surprise.
Instead, he felt anger and vigilance due to the unexpected nature of this event.
Because he immediately recognized the true nature of the light beam: one of the five major celestial realms, the one that Baihua Daoist labored to transport outside the Great Awakening small world, serving as a giant celestial realm to quickly move the world in the void...
It exploded.
And the culprit of this incident was here in the Great Awakening, in the Sacred Capital!
But Li Ping had no idea about it before! How could Li Ping, who claims to be the destined Holy Emperor, accept this?
During this half year, while the Wanxian Alliance was busy calming the disaster and soothing people's hearts, Baihua Daoist tirelessly moved some celestial realms from the Xuanhuang world here.
Perhaps it was due to the shock and impact of the starry sea, which made it much easier for Baihua to transport these celestial realms from the Xuanhuang world. Despite this, staying up for half a year without rest made Baihua almost exhausted. Unable to hold on any longer, he went to hide in the Five Elements celestial realm to recuperate.
No one expected a disaster involving the celestial realms to occur.
Baihua Daoist's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't care less about resting. He immediately ran out of the Five Elements celestial realm.
At this point, Li Fan had already identified the true culprit of this incident.
Before he could make a move, a single sentence from Yin Shang made him turn from shock to delight, and his anger disappeared completely!
"Someone..."
"Has successfully cultivated the Hunyuan Golden Elixir!"
Even the Holy Emperor couldn't help but feel a shock and slight daze when he heard Yin Shang's words.
The Hunyuan Golden Elixir, as a realm after "establishing the foundation in myself", is an important part of Li Ping's plan to subvert the traditional law system.
This first step is particularly difficult. Once taken, it will bring about many unimaginable changes.
When Li Ping summoned Yin Shang to study the new law in the Great Awakening, he had no big plans. He was just trying with a completely experimental mindset.
After all, the traditional law system had stood for thousands of years. It was not easy to destroy its foundation.
He had expected the derivation of the new law to take at least decades to see any significant progress.
But he did not expect that just over half a year later, Yin Shang would give him a big surprise.
At the same time, Li Fan also had doubts and alertness.
Instead of asking right away, he shifted his gaze from the black-haired youth to Yin Shang, waiting for his answer.
Yin Shang ignored Li Ping and simply looked at the youth who was cultivating, full of admiration.
"The Qi of the world..."
Li Ping's brows furrowed slightly.
The feeling that the black-haired youth gave him was very strange.
He was indeed one of the several children who had built their foundation in themselves and had now successfully broken through.
The fluctuating and elusive strength made Li Ping feel a bit puzzled.
But the vitality of the youth was too weak.
It did not look like the vigorous and thriving state that usually occurs after a breakthrough, but rather like a candle in the wind, on the verge of extinction.
After a long time, seeing the painful expression on the black-haired youth's face, Yin Shang let out a long sigh, "Taking the world's creation with one's own body..."
"How difficult it is! Although achieving the Hunyuan Golden Elixir, the backlash is almost deadly. If one cannot bear it, the only way is to die and disappear from this world."
Li Ping automatically ignored the latter half of the sentence, concentrating on the former half of Yin Shang's words.
"Taking the world's creation with one's own body? Is this the key to cultivating the Hunyuan Golden Elixir?" Li Ping asked.
Yin Shang remained silent for a moment before answering, "You have seen the situation. It is indeed a breakthrough, but the risks involved are almost fatal..."
"The new law should not follow this path."
Under fortuitous circumstances, Yin Shang went on to explain the process of comprehending the Hunyuan Golden Elixir.
"What is Hunyuan?"
"Establishing the foundation in myself is about completely building one's own cultivation foundation. If one wants to go further in the world, they must seek answers from the world, from nature."
"Taking the world's creation with one's own body is not about directly devouring the world like the traditional law of the new law..."
"Although the actual result is quite similar." Yin Shang suddenly said, and then abruptly stopped, looking at the fading image of the celestial realm in the sky. After that, he continued, "Achieving the Hunyuan Golden Elixir means taking the world's creation, and not just the specific material and energy. No, it is about the world's 'creation'."
"The fifty major paths of the Dao, and the forty-nine derivations of the heavens. Because of the loss of one, the world has extra variables, and through countless years, the heavens and the earth continue to thrive."
"But if that lost one is taken away..."
"The beam of light in the sky just now is the consequence of that."
"Of course, part of this is due to my intervention. If no external forces were involved, it would take nearly a hundred years for the changes to become evident. I did it to help this child. Otherwise, with a body that has established the foundation, trying to seize the world's creation, even in just a celestial realm, would lead to losing oneself in the conflicts of the celestial realm." Yin Shang looked at Li Ping and showed no signs of apology.
"He can think of what I cannot think of. This kid is truly remarkable."
...
From Yin Shang's speech, Li Ping also vaguely understood the so-called 'Hunyuan Golden Elixir'.
As the ruler of the Great Awakening world, and having closer observation and interaction with many small worlds, he could better understand the meaning behind Yin Shang's words.
"The world is like the human body. The idea of taking the world's creation with one's own body, to achieve the Hunyuan Golden Elixir, is indeed feasible."
"However..."
After pondering for a moment, Li Ping shook his head inwardly and vetoed the idea.
"This step is too bold!"
"Taking the world's creation with one's own body. Even I might not be able to do it."
"The new law should be a common law that anyone can cultivate."
