Xingchen murmured to himself, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"My will is the supreme law of the universe. My path is the direction of the universe's evolution!"
"Then why can't I, like the 'Ancestor Cangwu,' imprint my 'Dao' more deeply into my universe? So that the cultivation paths and understanding of laws of all beings in my universe will naturally gravitate towards my Chaotic Dao? Perhaps... I could even create a unique branch of cultivation, similar to 'Plant Cultivation' or 'Blood Cultivation,' that directly points to the core of the origin?"
The idea flashed through his mind like lightning, illuminating the path ahead!
Previously, he primarily provided a broad "platform" with complete laws, allowing all living beings in the universe to develop on their own and flourish.
That's correct, but it seems to lack a proactive "guidance" and "deepening" approach.
The Cangwu Realm provided him with a perfect example of how to maximize a core advantage!
"It's not just about providing the environment, but also about implanting 'genes'! Transforming my way into the source of their way!"
At this moment, the stars gained a completely new and revolutionary understanding of how to cultivate their own universe and how to enhance its potential and foundation.
Xingchen slowly opened her eyes, and the deep vortex in her eyes that had evolved the universe gradually disappeared, replaced by a clear joy and gratitude.
He stood up and once again solemnly cupped his hands to the two God Emperors, Qingmu and Xuanqiu: "Fellow Daoists, today's discussion on the Dao has been enlightening, and the benefits to the stars are immeasurable. I suddenly have some thoughts, and many ideas come to mind that urgently need to be sorted out and verified. I'm afraid I need to ask you two for a favor and borrow your esteemed place to go into seclusion for a while. Would that be possible?"
Upon hearing this, the Azure Wood God Emperor's smile grew even more gentle: "Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such politeness. Your enlightenment in my Cangwu Realm is a testament to the affinity between you and the laws of this realm. Seclusion and quiet cultivation are common practices for us; there's no question of asking for favors."
He gently tapped the side wall of the hall behind him with his wooden cane, and the wooden wall, covered with moss and ancient patterns, rippled like water, silently revealing a downward passage.
"This is the heart chamber of the sacred tree, where I usually meditate. It is also the place with the most concentrated aura of the laws of the entire Cangwu Realm, and the place closest to the residual will of the ancestor Cangwu. It is of great benefit to enlightenment and cultivation. If you do not mind, you can go into seclusion here without any external disturbances."
"Imperial Aoki said generously."
The Xuanqiu God Emperor beside him also spoke up in a low voice: "This place is indeed the best place for seclusion in our realm. Rest assured, you can focus on your cultivation here. With Qingmu and I guarding the outside world, no one can disturb you in the slightest."
Although he didn't say much, his promises were extremely powerful.
Xingchen was deeply moved, knowing that this favor was significant.
He no longer hesitated and bowed deeply, saying, "In that case, thank you both very much! I will remember this kindness."
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Please."
Aoki God Emperor turned to the side to indicate.
Xingchen nodded and stepped towards the passage.
The closer he got, the more he could feel that vast and ancient vitality and power of law, which seemed to speed up the operation of the chaotic universe within his body, making it more active.
As you step into the passage, the entrance behind you quietly closes, blending into the palace wall as if it had never existed.
The passage is not long, and at the end is a natural tree hole that is not particularly wide, but gives people the illusion of infinite vastness.
Standing alone among the stars, feeling the all-pervasive yet gentle, boundless energy and clear laws surrounding me, I was once again filled with awe.
"This place... is truly full of mysteries!"
He murmured to himself, his voice echoing softly within the tree hollow. His gaze swept over the cave walls, which were as smooth as jade and flowed with natural runes of law. He gently touched them with his fingertips, and an indescribable coolness and vitality spread up his arm, reaching the depths of his soul, instantly making his understanding of laws like life several times clearer.
Chapter 381 Preparing to Return to the Primitive Universe
Inside the tree hollow, time seemed to lose its meaning.
Xingchen sat cross-legged on the blue futon, his body and mind completely merging with the heart chamber of the sacred tree and the very origin of the Cangwu Realm.
His consciousness seemed to split into countless parts, one part immersed in the understanding of the unique laws of the Cangwu Realm, absorbing the essence of the will and law imprint left by the "Ancestor Cangwu".
The other part sank into its own miniature chaotic universe and began a radical transformation.
His mind first descended upon the origin of the chaotic universe within his body.
This is an ocean of surging chaotic currents and countless interwoven threads of laws, the core of the entire universe's operation.
In the past, although the rules here were complete, they were more like a passive "database," providing basic support but lacking proactive "inclination."
At this moment, the will of the stars, like the greatest craftsman, began to deeply engrave his unique mark of "Chaos Dao" in this sea of origin!
Om-!
The entire primordial land trembled. Countless threads of law began to recombine and intertwine in a more profound way. The chaotic energy was no longer just energy, but seemed to possess a kind of "will"—a will that encompasses all things, evolves into countless forms, yet mysteriously points to a certain core.
This core is the Dao of the stars!
"My way is the highest law of the universe!"
The will of the stars resounds from the very source.
Immediately afterwards, with his supreme power, drawing on the concepts of "plant cultivation" and "blood cultivation" in the Cangwu Realm, he began to create from nothing within the origin!
It is not about creating specific living beings, but about creating "possibilities," creating "talents," and creating a "source"!
One after another, strange "secret techniques" prototypes, "bloodline" sources, and "physical" foundations containing the aura of the primordial chaos were written into the depths of the universe's origin by him, using his own understanding of the Great Dao of Chaos and the inspiration of the laws of the Cangwu Realm, as if programming.
These "talented secrets" and "bloodline sources" are diverse and have their own characteristics: some tend to absorb and transform energy, which is in line with the "inclusiveness" of chaos; others tend to evolve the physical body and unleash power, which is in line with the "power" of chaos.
Some tend to seek enlightenment through the soul and be in harmony with the laws of nature, aligning with the "evolution" of chaos;
Even more special ones require cultivation in symbiosis with certain peculiar chaotic energy clusters born at the beginning of the universe, or innate chaotic plants... This is undoubtedly a variant that borrows from the concept of "plant cultivation".
These created "talents" and "bloodlines" are like "seeds" implanted in the universe's gene pool. They will not immediately create powerful individuals, but as life proliferates and civilizations evolve within the universe, they will manifest in certain lucky individuals or specific groups, providing them with a shortcut directly to the core of the chaotic origin!
Having done all this, the will of the stars once again enveloped the entire primordial universe.
He sensed that countless beings in the universe, regardless of strength, felt something at this moment, as if some invisible shackles on their bodies had been removed, and the road ahead had become clearer and broader!
Especially those true gods and void true gods who were already at the pinnacle of their respective races, they were excited to discover that the bottleneck that had plagued them for countless years and seemed to be insurmountable had actually loosened!
Even beyond that, a trace of an even higher realm was vaguely revealed to them!
"The shackles... have disappeared?"
"The road ahead! I see the road ahead!"
"The laws of the universe... seem to have become more active and clearer!"
"Is this a gift from the Lord of the Universe?"
Countless thoughts of excitement, awe, and joy rose from all corners of the universe, converging into a powerful force that fed back to the origin of the universe, accelerating its transformation.
The stars could clearly sense that the "foundation" of their own universe was increasing at an astonishing rate!
Its maximum capacity to withstand power has been dramatically increased!
Originally, in his universe, the limit for living beings to cultivate to the level of Eternal True God or even Chaos Ruler was almost the limit. As for God King? That was an existence that no one dared to even think about. The universe itself could hardly support the birth of such a powerful being.
But now, things are different!
With the strengthening of the universe's origin, the deepening of its laws, and the implantation of "chaotic talent" seeds, the potential of living beings is greatly developed, making breakthroughs easier.
The universe itself is fully capable of nurturing and supporting even stronger beings!
"From this day forward, within my universe, every living being, through their own talent and effort, has the hope of ascending to the realm of God-King!"
The will of the stars, filled with joy, proclaimed this transformation.
This means that in the future, a god-king level powerhouse belonging to his own universe may very well be born on its own!
This will greatly enhance the origin and overall strength of the universe, creating an incredibly virtuous cycle!
His inner universe is no longer just a "battery" that provides divine power, but a "cradle of civilization" and "base of the strong" with unlimited growth potential, capable of nurturing peak powerhouses on its own!
The gains from this retreat far exceeded my expectations.
He not only gained a deeper understanding of his own Chaos Dao, but also laid the most solid foundation for his future growth.
Xingchen slowly opened his eyes. The surging energy inside the tree hole gradually subsided, but the light in his eyes was even more dazzling and profound than before.
He knew it was time to emerge from seclusion.
If he can break through again in the future!
It's even possible that it could evolve its own miniature universe into a new source world!
"This retreat has been a complete success."
A satisfied smile played on his lips as he murmured to himself.
With a slight thought, the light from the blue futon beneath him gradually faded, and the resonance with the surrounding tree hollows also subsided.
He stood up, and his bones emitted a series of soft yet powerful crackling sounds, as if his entire divine body had undergone a thorough tempering and sublimation, becoming more perfect and flawless, and more in harmony with his own Chaos Dao.
He did not leave immediately, but looked around the tree hole that had brought him such a great opportunity once again.
As my fingertips brushed against the warm, jade-like cave walls, which were covered with natural runes of law, my heart was filled with gratitude.
"Thank you very much."
He said softly, both to the heart of this sacred tree and to the generous owner who lent this place.
After straightening his spotless robes, Xingchen strode back to the passage he had come from.
With one step, the scenery before him changed, and he was back in the Cangwu Holy Temple.
Inside the hall, the Azure Wood God Emperor and the Mysterious Dragon God Emperor seemed to have sensed his presence and were looking over with smiles. They had not left and remained there to protect him.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xingchen, on completing your seclusion."
The Azure Wood God Emperor stroked his beard and smiled, his gaze sweeping over Xingchen, a hint of barely perceptible surprise flashing in his eyes.
He sensed that this fellow Daoist from another world possessed a more profound and harmonious aura than before his seclusion. Although his realm remained unchanged, his cultivation had clearly improved considerably, especially the inner aura that seemed capable of encompassing and evolving all things, which had become even stronger.
Emperor Xuanqiu nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his rugged face: "It seems that you have benefited greatly from your seclusion this time, fellow Daoist."
Xingchen bowed solemnly to the two of them again: "It is all thanks to the two fellow Daoists for generously lending me this precious place and protecting me here that I was able to focus on my cultivation and make some progress. I will never forget this kindness and grace."
His gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.
If he hadn't been here, his insights would never have been so profound, and his transformation of his own universe would never have been so successful.
The Azure Wood God Emperor waved his hand and laughed, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. We are both delighted to see that you have gained something. It seems that the laws of my Cangwu Realm are indeed destined to be connected with your Dao."
"It's not just fate, it's a guiding light."
"Stars sighed."
"The laws of your realm have greatly inspired me and resolved many of my doubts. Now, I need to return to my home universe to put some of my insights into practice."
He offered to take his leave.
This gain requires time to digest, and more importantly, he can't wait to go back and witness and guide his own universe into that great transformation.
