Chapter 443

Completes the Dharma Form, Dharma Body, and Dharma Body!

Chapter 443 Completes the Dharma Form, Dharma Body, and Dharma Body!

[Your "Inextricable Karma and Destiny Sword Chapter" level has increased from 0% to 30% of the beginner level.]

As this message emerged, Li Xijun began to try to "influence" cause and effect.

Like plucking the strings of a musical instrument, he began to gently "touch" those most delicate and fragile threads of cause and effect.

For example, he can cause an extremely slight change in the trajectory of the falling leaves of an ancient pine tree outside the cave by touching upon a "shallow causal relationship" with it.

This change is almost negligible, but its implications are earth-shattering. He has begun to touch the threshold of "causal authority"!

Wujian Cliff, at the cave entrance.

Ye Wuqing and Fairy Jinghong stood side by side, both with their eyes closed and focused, sensing the changes in the aura with their own sword hearts.

At first, the only sounds inside the cave were Li Xijun's deep and steady breathing and faint fluctuations of his spiritual energy.

But gradually, an indescribable, mysterious atmosphere, as if it could pluck the strings of fate, began to emanate from the cave.

"This is—" Fairy Jinghong suddenly opened her eyes.

For the first time, a clear look of astonishment appeared in her usually cool eyes. "The meaning of cause and effect? ​​He—he's really beginning to understand!"

Ye Wuqing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes, which seemed to pierce through the void, were now filled with disbelief and shock.

"It's not just about beginning to understand—"

His voice was slightly hoarse, "Sense it carefully, this causal sword intent—it's growing! And the speed at which it's growing—is unbelievably fast!"

Both of them possessed the most outstanding swordsmanship talent, and their senses were incredibly sharp.

They clearly sensed the causal sword intent emanating from the cave, which had initially rippled faintly, gradually become clearer, and now—

It has already taken initial shape and is still growing, solidifying, and deepening at a visible pace!

This completely overturned their understanding!

"The third sword left behind by the patriarch—"

Fairy Jinghong's voice trembled slightly, "Since ancient times, apart from the founder who created this sword, in the ten thousand years of the Sword Sect's history, seven Dharma Bodies have emerged, and countless grandmasters of the sword have attempted to comprehend it—but none have truly entered the door!"

"Even you, Master—" she looked at Ye Wuqing.

Ye Wuqing smiled bitterly: "When I first attained the Dharma Body, I was full of vigor and ambition. I secluded myself here for three years, trying to comprehend this sword. In the end—I only scratched the surface, not even reaching the initial stage, and had no choice but to give up."

His gaze returned to the cave, his eyes filled with even greater shock: "But Li Xijun—how long has he been in seclusion? Only a few days, and he's not only entered the gate, but is making rapid progress!"

"This is truly unbelievable!"

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the horror in each other's eyes.

They understood better than anyone the difficulty and terrifying origins of the "Inextricable Karma and Destiny Sword Chapter".

The founder of the Sword Sect, a sword master who was invincible in ancient times, once slew down a ghost immortal in the Yellow Springs with a single sword and nearly caused the death of a true immortal, is said to be an unparalleled sword immortal who has broken through to the realm above "true immortal". In his later years, he devoted himself to creating this sword and regarded it as the highest achievement of his swordsmanship. It may even have touched the mysteries above true immortal.

The concept behind this sword is so lofty that no one in later generations could reach the heights of its master, hence no one has been able to master it for thousands of years.

But now—

A young man in his early twenties has spent just a few days mastering the supreme martial arts technique that no one in their Sword Sect has been able to cultivate for thousands of years at an astonishing speed!

"Could it be that his talent has truly rivaled that of the founder?" Fairy Jinghong murmured.

Ye Wuqing remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Perhaps so. This boy is shrouded in mystery, and his origins are likely far beyond our imagination. But in any case..."

His eyes gradually hardened: "His ability to master the Sword of Cause and Effect is a tremendous boon to our Sword Sect and to the great upheaval that is about to unfold in this world!"

He looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds, and saw the day when the "shackles of heaven and earth would loosen," which was approaching in the darkness.

"It's almost here—less than three months until the spiritual energy is fully restored and the rules of heaven and earth are completely liberated."

"At that time, all Dharma bodies will be restored to their full power, ancient ruins will reappear, and demons will run rampant—this world needs strong warriors, swords that can cut through the fog and cleave the path forward!"

"Li Xijun, the stronger the better!"

Fairy Jinghong nodded emphatically, her gaze towards the cave gradually shifting from initial shock to anticipation and determination.

"Master, we will protect him to the very end!"

Inside the cave, time seemed to stand still.

Li Xijun was completely immersed in the vast ocean of the Dao of Cause and Effect.

[Your skill level in "The Sword Chapter of Inextricable Cause and Effect" has increased from 100% beginner to 0% proficient.]

[Your mastery of the "Inextricable Karma and Destiny Sword Chapter" has increased from 0% to 100%.]

He is now able to "observe" important causal lines of himself and others with relative ease, and can "intervene" to a certain extent with sword intent—for example, temporarily strengthening a good karmic connection or weakening the immediate impact of a bad karma.

[Your mastery level in the "Inextricable Karma and Destiny Sword Chapter" has increased from 0% to 100%.]

[Your "Inextricable Karma and Destiny Sword Chapter" level has increased from Master 0% to Master 100%.]

He began to touch the core of the "Sword of Cause and Effect"—to sever it!

It's not about severing those deep-rooted, powerful causal relationships, but rather trying to sever some new, fragile, and unnecessary causal connections.

For example, he can sever the "shallow causal relationship" between himself and a certain item that he acquired by chance but which may bring trouble with a single sword stroke, making it completely "ownerless" and no longer entangled with his fate.

[Your "Inextricable Karma and Destiny Sword Chapter" level has increased from Grandmaster 0% to Grandmaster 100%.]

His understanding of cause and effect has reached an extremely high level, and he has even begun to vaguely touch the edge of "destiny".

He could see that some causal lines were not formed naturally, but were "guided" or "trimmed" by some higher-level force, presenting a stiff, lifeless grayish-white color. This was exactly the same feeling he had when Mimir touched his causal lines!

"Destiny—is it simply cause and effect defined by the strong?" Li Xijun sneered inwardly. "Then my sword will shatter this destiny!"

Finally, on the ninety-seventh day of seclusion.

[Your "Inextricable Karma and Destiny Sword Chapter" level has increased from 99% to 100% True Meaning.]

"boom--!!!"

Inside the cave, Li Xijun suddenly opened his eyes!

-

In his eyes, there was no longer the birth and death of stars, no longer the reflection of reincarnation, only a pure and transparent state.

That transparency is not nothingness, but rather seems to reflect the most essential "connection" of all things.

As far as the eye could see, countless threads of cause and effect naturally emerged in the void, clearly visible.

He slowly raised his hand, his fingers forming a sword shape, and lightly drew a line in the air with a "whoosh."

There was no earth-shattering sword energy, no dazzling light.

But along the path traced by his fingertips, all the naturally converging, chaotic, and unnecessary threads of cause and effect were severed as if cut by the sharpest scissors!

The broken section is as smooth as a mirror, making reconnection impossible.

This sword strike does not harm the physical body or damage the soul; it only severs the cause and effect!

"The Sword Chapter of Unbreakable Karma and Destiny" - Perfect Ending!

At the same time, almost at the same instant when the causal sword intent reached its perfection—

Li Xijun's inner universe has undergone earth-shattering changes!

"Buzzing!!!"

Deep within the earth, there lies the incomplete, blurred core of the "Fengdu Emperor's Dharma Form."

Suddenly, it burst forth with an unprecedented, eerie divine light!

Outside the cave, Ye Wuqing and Fairy Jinghong looked up in shock at the same time.

They felt a vast, majestic, solemn, and supreme imperial power, as if it controlled the life and death of all things, rising into the sky from within the cave!

That wasn't any aura that Li Xijun had ever emitted before.

This aura—it made their very souls tremble, as if they were facing the supreme ruler who governs the underworld!

"This is... a Dharma form? He can actually condense multiple Dharma forms! And... this power..." Ye Wuqing's voice was dry.

Inside the cave.

In Li Xijun's inner universe, a cataclysmic upheaval is unfolding.

The image of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, whose face was originally blurry, gradually became clear in the divine light. It was an imperial face that contained both majesty and compassion, indifference and benevolence. The left eye manifested the six realms of reincarnation, endlessly regenerating; the right eye reflected the nine netherworlds and the desolate void.

And at the Dharma image's chest, the ever-incomplete core—"Crack—Crack—"

It's like a shattered mirror being reassembled, or a missing gear being put back in place.

The perfect causal sword intent transformed into the purest "law of cause and effect," surging into the blurry phantom of the Samsara Wheel.

One!

Two!

Three!

Countless threads of cause and effect intertwine, weave, and construct on the wheel of reincarnation!

The originally blurry disc began to reveal incredibly clear patterns—scenes of the six realms of sentient beings, the law of cause and effect, and the cycle of destiny!

"BOOM—!!!"

When the last thread of cause and effect returned to its place, the entire Wheel of Reincarnation erupted with a dark divine light that pierced through heaven and earth!

The image of the Great Emperor of Fengdu—complete and perfect!

At this moment, the three elements of "Heaven, Earth, and Man" in Li Xijun's inner universe were completely restored to their proper places!

Above the heavens, the Purple Star Emperor stands majestically, ruling over the stars and controlling the celestial order.

In the center of the earth, Emperor Fuxi held the Eight Trigrams, evolving the flame of civilization and establishing the order of human relations.

Deep within the Nine Netherworlds, the image of the Great Emperor of Fengdu sits high on the Throne of the Underworld, the Wheel of Reincarnation slowly rotating, in charge of the cycle of life and death of all things, judging good and evil, cause and effect.

The three deities, each with distinct natures, simultaneously emitted a "Buzz!!!"

It resonated with an unprecedented level!

The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei showered down the brilliance of stars.

Emperor Gouchen raised the flame of civilization.

The Great Emperor of Fengdu unleashed the primordial energy of Xuanhuang Reincarnation.

The three forces are no longer simply cycling, but have begun to merge!

At the center of Li Xijun's inner universe, a tiny yet incredibly stable "three-colored vortex" spins wildly, devouring, transforming, and sublimating the three forces, and then feeding them back into the entire inner universe!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The inner universe begins to expand and transform at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The once illusory stars began to materialize.

The once indistinct land began to take on the initial shapes of mountains and rivers.

The originally chaotic underworld began to show illusory images of the Yellow Springs Road, the Bridge of Helplessness, and the Yama's Palace.

This is no longer a simple "interior view", but is transforming into a true universe with a complete "heaven, earth and man" three-dimensional structure!

Li Xijun's cultivation level also began to rise rapidly during this unprecedented transformation!

Your cultivation level has advanced from the seventh level of perfection to the eighth level of early stage.

Your cultivation level has increased from the early stage of the eighth heaven to the middle stage of the eighth heaven.

Your cultivation level has increased from the mid-stage of the eighth level to the late-stage of the eighth level.

Your cultivation level has been raised from the late stage of the eighth level to the peak of the eighth level.

Unstoppable momentum!

There are no bottlenecks, no stagnation!

The power brought by the perfect completion of the Three Dharma Forms is terrifying. Now that the last piece of the puzzle of the Causal Sword Intent has been completed, it has been fully unleashed!

Your cultivation level has advanced from the peak of the eighth heaven to the early stage of the ninth heaven.

Your cultivation level has increased from the early stage of the Ninth Heaven to the middle stage of the Ninth Heaven.

Your cultivation level has increased from the mid-stage of the Ninth Heaven to the late-stage of the Ninth Heaven.

Your cultivation level has increased from the late stage of the Ninth Heaven to the peak of the Ninth Heaven.

Until a loud "BOOM—!!!"

Li Xijun's aura surged to the very peak of the Ninth Heaven, and—

They began their assault on the Dharma Body Realm, the barrier that separated the mortal from the extraordinary and represented the highest achievement of martial arts in this world!

Outside the cave.

Ye Wuqing and Fairy Jinghong were so shocked they were numb.

They could clearly feel that the energy inside the cave had soared from the seventh level to the ninth level in a short period of time, and was still continuing to rise!

The sheer vastness, grandeur, and profundity of that aura completely exceeded their understanding of the "Grandmaster" realm.

"Three months—from initial understanding of cause and effect, to Grandmaster perfection, to a meteoric rise to the ninth level of perfection, and then—beginning the attempt to break through to the Dharma Body?!"

Fairy Jinghong's voice trembled, to the point that she completely lost her cognition and reason.

"No wonder everyone in the world was puzzled when His Majesty the Star Lord appeared before, wondering why there were no signs of the celestial phenomena indicating the attainment of the Dharma Body. It turns out he really wasn't the Dharma Body before!"

"He actually killed an Arhat Dharma Body while his cultivation level was below the Dharma Body level."

"Only after completing the cultivation of this Sword of Cause and Effect today have I truly advanced and begun the breakthrough to attain the Dharma Body."

"Master—this—this person—is he even human?!"

Ye Wuqing stared intently at the cave, speaking slowly and deliberately, his voice filled with astonishment: "Not only that, but what he's attacking now isn't an ordinary Dharma Body."

"Instead—it is the supreme Dharmakaya, where the three dharmas are cultivated in unison, heaven, earth, and humanity unite, and the inner landscape transforms into the embryonic form of the universe!"

"If this body is perfected—the world will change!"

Ye Wuqing also did not know how Li Xijun managed to have three Dharma images within his inner vision.

But his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

That was a period of great excitement, a moment of awe, and a touch of the thrill of witnessing history!

Inside the cave.

Li Xijun sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by intertwined and flowing divine light of three colors.

Crape myrtle, pure white, and dark yellow.

Heaven, Man, Earth.

Domination, creation, reincarnation.

The three Dharma forms appeared alternately behind him, eventually merging into a blurry yet all-encompassing, all-transcending, all-defining aura—the supreme three-form fusion phantom!

The assault on the Dharmakaya has officially begun!
