As the Heart Demon Tribulation passed, Li Mu's Chaos Law Domain and Chaotic Great Dao's Fusion reached a new Realm; he was no longer merely passively enduring the Chaotic Great Dao, but was able to actively guide the Chaotic Great Dao, integrating it into his Law Domain. At the same time, his Chaos Law Domain also began to feed back, allowing the Chaotic Great Dao to become more complete.
At this moment, Li Mu gained a trace of Epiphany, a most essential understanding of self, of the Three Thousand Dao Realms, and of Chaos. This Epiphany was like the first light of dawn, dispelling the mist that had long enveloped his heart.
As this understanding deepened, Li Mu's Cultivation underwent a qualitative leap. The Chaos Law Domain was no longer confined to the traditional constraints of space and time, but transcended the boundaries of dimensions... time and space lost their meaning at this moment, all things could be reversed, and rules could be reshaped.
With the Fusion of the Chaotic Great Dao and the Chaos Law Domain, Li Mu's aura also underwent tremendous changes, surrounded by powerful Law fluctuations, and his aura grew stronger day by day. This power was both ancient and new, as if it had existed since the birth of the Universe.
At this moment, Li Mu's eyes were as deep as black holes, capable of devouring all light and reflecting the essence of all things. Under his gaze, even the most hidden Law flows had nowhere to hide.
With every gesture, the Heaven and Earth spiritual power responded to his will, the stars trembled, and the chains of Law intertwined, broke, and reformed under his will, displaying an unprecedented magnificent scene.
Combined Body Realm!
Breakthrough!
Li Mu was invigorated, feeling the endless power surging within him. He closed his eyes and concentrated, able to feel the perfect Fusion of the Chaos Law Domain and the Chaotic Great Dao.
As his Cultivation improved, Li Mu's Divine Soul also underwent a qualitative change, and he soon made a new discovery: the secret hidden within this miraculous Chaos space.
The Seven Profound Sect was founded by the Seven Profound Daoist thousands of years ago. The seven most mysterious main peaks of the entire Sect, each peak, were equipped with the Formation pillars of the Five Elements Yin and Yang Spirit Gathering Great Array, which, combined with the sub-Formation - Five Elements Shifting Array, opened up this Chaos space.
However, this Chaos space was inextricably linked to the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms.
Gathering seven major sub-Formations - the Earth Fiend Gathering Yin Array, the Heavenly Star Gathering Yang Array, the Profound Water Spirit Formation, the Azure Wood Cangyuan Array, the Great Array of Extreme Fire Burning the Sky... forming the nine-rank divine Formation - the Chaotic Boundary Sealing Formation, which gathered seven nine-rank divine objects as the eyes of the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms. At the end of the Chaos space, was the manifestation of the overall form of the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms.
This was the place where the Origin spiritualities of the seven nine-rank divine objects were suppressed and fell into slumber.
As far as his Divine Thought could reach, the Heaven One Divine Water, Taiyin Divine Water, sun essence gold, Cangyuan Azure Wood, Burning Heaven Divine Fire, Netherworld Yin Fiend, and Taijin Divine Stone—these seven nine-rank divine objects, each containing the profound truths of Heaven and Earth, were located at the core of the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms. It was fully presented in Li Mu's 'eyes'.
As his Divine Thought extended, Li Mu further perceived, through the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms, the two sealed channels leading to the Lower Realm - Demon Abyss, and the Upper Realm - Immortal Spirit Realm. The full scope of the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms gradually revealed itself, its grandeur and mystery beyond imagination. This was not merely a simple Seal Formation, but a great miracle that maintained the balance of power in the Three Realms.
At the center of the Grand Formation, the seven nine-rank divine objects shone like stars, each emitting a unique light, intertwining to form a complex Law network. This network not only stabilized the structure of the Chaos space but also subtly integrated the energy and Laws of the two Realms, forming an indestructible barrier.
Through this barrier, Li Mu could clearly see the channels leading to the Lower Realm Demon Abyss and the Upper Realm Immortal Spirit Realm.
The Demon Abyss Channel was dark and deep, connecting to an evil and terrifying world, filled with Devilish Qi, Chaos, and blood, the abode of countless demons and evil forces. The Immortal Spirit Realm Channel, on the other hand, emitted a soft and powerful spiritual light, leading to a world full of auspiciousness and peace.
These two channels were firmly isolated under the Seal of the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms, avoiding direct conflict and Chaos between the two Realms. However, Li Mu could feel that as his Cultivation improved and his Chaos Law Domain perfected, the boundaries between these two Realms were blurring, and a subtle power was quietly brewing.
Just as Li Mu was immersed in his deep insight into the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms, a sudden sense of crisis struck him. His Divine Thought, like a sensitive radar, instantly captured two powerful and distinctly different auras rapidly approaching along the channels he was observing—one from the Demon Abyss, carrying endless darkness and murderous intent; the other from the Immortal Spirit Realm, carrying sacred and inviolable majesty.
"A Demon God and an Immortal expert, both detected my presence simultaneously?" Li Mu was startled and quickly retracted his Divine Thought to avoid further exposure. Neither the Demon God of the Demon Abyss nor the Immortal expert of the Immortal Spirit Realm was someone he could provoke at his current stage.
In the Chaos space, Li Mu quickly adjusted his breathing, allowing his state of mind to return to calm, while simultaneously mobilizing the power of his Chaos Law Domain to conceal his aura.
At this moment, the two Divine Thoughts, unable to find the unfamiliar Divine Thought, discovered each other instead, and collided fiercely.
The Divine Thoughts clashed violently within the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation, like the collision of two illusory stars, releasing astonishing Divine Thought fluctuations that intertwined and entangled in the Void Realm, probing each other, searching for the other's weaknesses.
"Celestial Phoenix, when the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation breaks, that will be your death!"
The Devilish Thought of the Eternal Demon God echoed like thunder in the Chaos space, carrying endless killing intent and arrogance. His Divine Thought was like a violent storm, wantonly impacting the Divine Thought of the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, attempting to completely destroy it.
The Divine Thought of the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor, on the other hand, flowed like a clear spring, remaining stable and composed under the violent Divine Thought impact of the Eternal Demon God.
"Eternal, your ambition and slaughter will eventually bring the Heavenly Dao's judgment. The Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms is a barrier set to balance the Three Realms. If you dare to forcibly destroy it, you will surely suffer the consequences." The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's Divine Thought shifted and responded indifferently.
Upon hearing this, the Eternal Demon God couldn't help but sneer, arrogantly declaring: "Heavenly Dao? Hmph, I am the Eternal Demon God, long since transcending the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao's judgment, to me, is nothing but a joke; Celestial Phoenix, just wait, it won't be long before I raze the Immortal Realm and make you submit at my feet!"
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor turned a deaf ear, ignoring the Eternal Demon God's provocation, and her Divine Thought continued to search for the inexplicably appearing fluctuation. It appeared within the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation, not belonging to the Demon Abyss, nor the Immortal Realm, so it must be the Spirit Realm.
That Divine Thought was no small matter, carrying the aura of Chaos, seemingly akin to the aura of the Chaotic Great Dao. If this person wasn't found, the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor felt a faint unease in her heart; this power might break the long-standing balance of power.
"Eternal, let's put aside our grievances for now." The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor suddenly changed her strategy, her Divine Thought fluctuations carrying a hint of solemnity, and she transmitted: "The appearance of that Chaos aura is by no means accidental. It may portend some unknown variable; as top experts in the Three Realms, you and I should face this unknown together, rather than continuing to consume each other."
The Eternal Demon God was stunned, clearly not expecting the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor to suddenly propose cooperation; but upon closer thought, that Chaos aura was indeed unsettling, and even he felt an unprecedented threat.
The Eternal Demon God snorted, tacitly agreeing to the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's suggestion.
"Alright, let's temporarily put aside personal grievances and first find that hidden fellow; however, once found, if he belongs to the Immortal Realm, he is your enemy; if he is related to the Demon Abyss, then he is my prey." The Eternal Demon God's voice echoed in the Chaos space, carrying an undeniable resolve.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor readily accepted, and their Divine Thoughts converged again, jointly searching for the source of that Chaos aura. At this moment, Li Mu, hidden in the Chaos space, noticed the change in the two powerful Divine Thoughts, and his heart stirred, immediately wanting to retreat. However, looking at the spiritualities of the seven nine-rank divine objects slumbering at the end of the Chaos space, he hesitated.
This successful Fusion of the Chaotic Great Dao and the Chaos Law Domain, and his Breakthrough to the Combined Body Realm, gave Li Mu a clearer understanding of his own Cultivation of the Chaotic Great Dao, and he deeply realized the vastness and profoundness of the Chaotic Great Dao.
Although he had crossed the threshold of the Combined Body Realm, Li Mu felt an unprecedented powerlessness in facing the next Breakthrough to the Great Vehicle Dao Realm in the Chaotic Great Dao.
The Chaotic Great Dao is both the Origin of all things and the ultimate pursuit of Cultivators. It is like an infinite ocean, deep and mysterious, with every drop of water containing endless power and Laws.
Although Li Mu had already mastered the Chaotic Great Dao and the Chaos Law Domain, this was only the tip of the iceberg of the Chaotic Great Dao. The true Chaotic Great Dao was far more complex and vast than he had imagined. To Breakthroughto the Great Vehicle Dao Realm meant truly comprehending and mastering the Three Thousand Great Daos, integrating the core Laws of the Chaotic Great Dao, and merging himself with the Chaotic Great Dao, reaching the Realm of "Dao-Self Unity."
The seven nine-rank divine objects, gathering Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, are close to the Dao, and are also the Origin of the Great Dao; one day, when the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms is broken, their spiritualities, once awakened from slumber, will surely flee into the Void Realm.
If he didn't leave a mark now, when would he?
Understanding this, Li Mu's heart pounded. He activated his Divine Thought, gathered it into a knife, and cut his Divine Soul.
Li Mu formed hand Seals, muttering incantations. As the incantations sounded, his Divine Soul began to vibrate violently. Seven strands of Divine Soul split from his main soul, floating in the Chaos space, emitting brilliant light.
To further his progress on the Chaotic Great Dao, and to maintain a connection with these nine-rank divine objects, which were almost Dao-like, when the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation of the Two Realms was broken in the future, Li Mu was willing to pay the price of his divided soul to gain an early advantage.
Li Mu slightly closed his eyes, disregarding the injury to his divided soul, and focused his mind on the seven strands of divided soul, urging them to evolve their soul Origin, transforming the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, to be of the same Origin as the seven nine-rank divine objects.
Soon, under Li Mu's control, the seven strands of different Chaos Divine Souls gradually underwent an Origin transformation, becoming Divine Souls of the Five Elements (gold, wood, water, fire, earth) and Yin and Yang attributes.
He waited quietly for the two powerful Divine Thoughts, which had searched the Sealing Boundary Grand Formation in vain, to depart.
Li Mu quickly took action, driving the seven strands of divided Divine Soul towards the seven nine-rank divine objects at the end of the Chaos space.
As the seven strands of divided soul, containing the power of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, slowly approached, the slumbering spiritualities of the seven nine-rank divine objects at the end of the Chaos space remained oblivious, as they were of the same Origin, not triggering any alarm from their Origin spiritualities.
Instead, due to the sense of intimacy from their shared Origin and coexistence, the seven nine-rank divine objects invisibly opened the doors of their slumbering spiritualities, welcoming the integration of Li Mu's divided souls, accepting them silently.
When the seven strands of divided soul were completely integrated into the seven nine-rank divine objects, Li Mu's main soul quickly received feedback, as if it had undergone an unprecedented transformation.
Li Mu closed his eyes tightly, immersed in Cultivation, feeling the waves of fluctuations coming from the seven divided souls. Those fluctuations contained the mysteries of the Great Dao, and every bit and every trace deepened his understanding of the Chaotic Great Dao.
Firstly, it was the Dao of Water. The integration of the Heaven One Divine Water's spirituality gave Li Mu a brand new understanding of water's flow, change, inclusivity, and nourishment. It was as if he heard the crisp tapping of water droplets on stone, saw the grandeur and vastness of rivers, lakes, and seas, and felt the gentleness and greatness of water nourishing all things. Various insights into the Water Dao unconsciously advanced his Cultivation by a layer, making his control over water more effortless, allowing him to easily use the principles of the Water Dao to cast various profound and unpredictable extreme Water Dao Spells.
Next, it was the Dao of Wood. The spiritual feedback from the Cangyuan Azure Wood made Li Mu feel as if he were in a vibrant forest. He could feel the breath of every leaf, the growth of every branch, and the ancient and mysterious information transmitted between the trees. This insight not only greatly enhanced his vitality but also gave him a deeper understanding of growth, prosperity, and cycles.
...
The successful integration of the seven divided souls into the seven nine-rank divine objects brought Li Mu immense gains, giving him unprecedented mastery and comprehension of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and the seven Great Daos. This was not merely an improvement in Cultivation, but a deeper realization of the Dao.
Just as Li Mu was immersed in the rapid improvement of his Cultivation and Dao intent, two powerful Divine Thoughts reappeared. Their Divine Thoughts were like two invisible giant nets, slowly spreading out in the Chaos space, attempting to capture his presence.
Li Mu's heart tightened. He understood that although he had gained a great Opportunity in this Chaos space, he had also exposed his whereabouts; facing the joint search of two top-tier experts from outside the Realms, he had to make a choice quickly.
Li Mu's mind stirred, and he decisively exited the Chaos space, his aura vanishing without a trace.
"He's gone!"
"Damn little thief, don't let me find you!"
The Divine Thoughts of the Eternal Demon God and the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor intertwined in the Chaos space, but failed to capture Li Mu's whereabouts. Both were startled, realizing that the opponent they faced was no small matter, able to escape repeatedly right under their noses.
"Celestial Phoenix, it seems we underestimated this fellow hiding in the dark." The Eternal Demon God's Divine Thought carried a hint of unwillingness and anger.
The Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, transmitting with a solemn expression: "This person is capable of mastering the Chaotic Great Dao; he is no ordinary being. We must find him as soon as possible, otherwise, if he grows, he will be a huge threat to the Three Realms."
"Hmph! This person is a native of the Spirit Realm. If you want to find him, you must first break this Sealing Boundary Grand Formation! Can you bear to?" The Eternal Demon God transmitted with a laugh.
Upon hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across the Celestial Phoenix Immortal Emperor's brows, and she fell silent, not responding for a long time. (End of Chapter)
