The Great Luo Primordial Heaven

Chapter 446 The Great Luo Primordial Heaven

Inside the cave at Wujian Cliff, all was silent.

Li Xijun's cross-legged figure no longer resembled a flesh-and-blood body, but rather a "singularity of the Dao" undergoing its final brewing before the creation of the world.

His consciousness completely sank into the "inner world" manifested from his own Dao foundation.

This was the culmination of his life's cultivation, martial will, and understanding of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. It should have been a unified whole, but now it was divided by three supreme Dharma forms that were as bright as the sun and as majestic as immortals. Their Daoist principles clashed, tearing this primordial world to the brink of collapse.

The Dharma image of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor is as majestic as Mount Buzhou collapsing, with a torrent of Heavenly Dao flowing around him, composed of countless stars.

Beneath the tassels of the imperial crown, his gaze was as indifferent as ancient ice, reflecting the unchanging trajectory of the celestial bodies and the changing of the seasons.

A supreme, all-encompassing, and eternal divine might pervades the area, transforming it into an absolute "territory of the Heavenly Dao," rejecting all "variables" and "disorder."

The Dharma form of the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor slowly spoke, its voice like the simultaneous vibration of billions of stars, a divine pronouncement: "I am the Heavenly Law, the order of all laws. The Milky Way shines, time flows, all according to the rules set by the Heavenly Emperor. The fire of humanity, confusing the cycle of cause and effect, is the root of disorder. The way of Heaven is constant, it does not exist for Yao, nor does it perish for Jie. If you wish to accept rebellion into order, it is like trying to make the pure and impure flow together, ultimately destroying your own foundation." As soon as the words were spoken, the law became real, and the inner void began to "crystallize," transforming into a dazzling yet cold starry sky of laws, rejecting any "accidents" or "evolutions."

The image of the Holy Emperor Fuxi stands tall and imposing, his body burning with an inextinguishable flame of humanity.

With a human body and a dragon's tail, holding the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era, the flowing trigrams reveal the endless epic of human civilization, from its arduous journey to slash-and-burn agriculture, city building and legislation, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

A powerful will of self-reliance, innovation, inheritance, and pioneering swept across the land like a volcanic eruption. The Holy Emperor's Dharma Image, with its piercing gaze and resounding voice, proclaimed: "The way of humanity values ​​reform and innovation, values ​​perseverance! Is destiny terrifying? Is the netherworld frightening? The way of humanity is to use the fire in our hands to burn away all shackles, to forge new life from the brink of despair! How can the will to innovate be bound by an inevitable end? The path of the Human Emperor is one of unwavering advance; how can we waver!"

The flame of humanity surged forth, spreading like wildfire, determined to burn away all "frameworks" and "fixed fates," leaving only an infinitely possible future.

The image of the Great Emperor of Fengdu sat silently in the Nine Netherworlds, his crown tassels hanging low, his face hidden in the deepest shadows of the underworld, only his authority over life and death and reincarnation was clearly visible.

Behind him, the Road to the Underworld guides the soul, the River of Oblivion washes away memories, and the phantoms of the Ten Kings of Hell stand solemnly, a vast, intricate, and cold...

The unquestionable gray-white wheel of reincarnation slowly rotates, radiating a sense of the inevitable rise and fall of all things, the death and destiny of all living beings, and the ironclad justice.

The voice of the Great Emperor of Fengdu resounded directly from the very source of the soul, hollow yet undeniably resolute: "Where there is birth, there is death; where there is gathering, there is scattering. This is an ironclad law, the ultimate interpretation that no living being can escape. The order of Heaven and the way of humanity, however brilliant and dazzling, are ultimately nothing more than a ripple in the long river of time, destined to return to the cycle of reincarnation. All laws are empty, but is cause and effect not empty? Yet, upon entering the cycle of reincarnation, even cause and effect are empty. The ways of Heaven and humanity only add to the chaos." The Wheel of Reincarnation flashed with a ghostly light, and an irresistible "Return to the Void" gravitational force spread, attempting to drag the entire inner world towards that one and only, eternal cycle of reincarnation.

The celestial constellations! The torch of the human emperor! The cycle of six realms!

The three Dharma forms, the three supreme principles that construct the world of "existence", are now manifested as ancient deities with almost independent wills because of Li Xijun's desire to unite the three forms. They are fighting against each other and want to completely tear his inner world apart!

"Crack—Boom!"

The inner world groaned in despair, and shocking chaotic cracks appeared in the void!

That is a manifestation of an unstable foundation and a fundamental conflict.

Li Xijun's physical body exhibited terrifying anomalies in the outside world: starlight exploded on the left side of his body, the civilization phantom on the right side flickered uncertainly, and cracked, decaying death energy appeared on his torso.

The excruciating pain comes from the depths of the soul; it is the backlash from the fundamental questioning of the path and the imminent self-destruction of the origin!

On a spiritual level, it was as if he was being torn apart in different directions by three cosmic-level forces. If his soul had not already been close to that of a Yang God, it would have been shattered into pieces and severely damaged under this conflict.

The three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man—each seems like a smooth road to heaven, yet none are truly perfect...

My desire to unify heaven, earth, and humanity—is it truly against the will of heaven and reason, and incompatible with the fundamental principles of the Great Way?

The crisis of the collapse of the Dao and the fog of cognition are like ice and fire being tormented.

Outside the cave, the Daoist Lord transformed into a Kunpeng and roamed freely in the starry sea, taking the path of "transcendence" to its extreme.

The great shaman of the grasslands roared at the moon, shattering the heavens; that was the ultimate expression of the will to "power".

Their path is pure and powerful, radiant with light.

Looking back at its own path of attempting to encompass and govern all the laws of the world, it seems to have entered a dead end, attracting the most intense backlash from the three Dharma forms that constitute the world.

Just as the three major regions of the Inner Realm were about to be completely separated, and Li Xijun's self-awareness was about to collapse under the tearing apart of the three world laws, and his Dao foundation was about to disintegrate into three major fragments, which would respectively return to the "Heavenly Dao," the "Human Dao," or the "Reincarnation" at the final moment in that abyss of despair that was more empty than nothingness and more painful than the scattering of the soul, the primordial spiritual light that had never been extinguished since the birth of the True Spirit and traversed all realms, burst forth like the first ray of dawn in the chaos!

His "divine sense" did not attempt to reconcile the three ancient gods, but naturally sank inward, penetrating all the conflicting Daoist phenomena, penetrating the primordial world on the verge of collapse, and landing at the very root of his own existence.

There, there is a mark, formless and intangible, neither light nor darkness, neither on this shore nor on the other shore, seemingly floating quietly above time, space, heavens, and all paths, transcending all laws, concepts, existence, and non-existence!

Li Xijun had seen it countless times, but this time, when his true spirit looked at it again, it seemed as if he saw the general outline containing all the principles of the heavens and myriad worlds, a microcosm of the source of "Dao".

It does not provide power, but at this moment, it provides Li Xijun with a "supreme meaning" that transcends all existing laws and principles and is above all traditions!

At the very moment when the divine thought merged with the meaning of this Great Luo Mark!

An insight etched deep within the soul, now fully illuminated, is like the first thunderbolt of creation, cleaving through all illusions!

"The Purple Star establishes the order of Heaven, Fuxi ignites the fire of humanity, and Fengdu governs the limits of reincarnation—these three are the indispensable cornerstones of the Great Dao in constructing a world, and the legal support that allows the world's existence to manifest."

"But upon this foundation, can palaces stand? Behind the legal principles, can there be a source?"

"When I first explored my own path after comprehending the [Zhou Tian Xing Dou Zhen Tu], I said: Ziwei resides in the center, governing the Four Symbols; the Four Symbols rotate, evolving the Zhou Tian; the Zhou Tian stars protect Ziwei—"

"However, though I have seen the star charts of the heavens, vast and boundless, ever-changing, my desire has never been to become the 'Purple Star Heavenly Emperor' who rules over a region of the starry sky!"

"What I desire is to achieve, through my own will, to become the only Great Luo Immortal, transcending all laws and bounds, eternally free, indestructible through countless eons, and the sole ruler of all realms!"

"These three paths, no matter how supreme they may seem, are essentially manifestations of the ways I use to understand the world of 'existence' and to construct 'myself'!"

"And these three—Heaven, Earth, and Man—represent the three poles of existence, inexhaustible in their diversity, and can be considered the beginning of all birth, existence, and evolution!"

"And my understanding of the original dark law" represents nothingness, represents the end, represents the destiny of all things!

"However, 'existence' and 'non-existence,' 'beginning' and 'end,' seemingly contradictory, are actually both under the Great Luo's observation, both are resources for my path, and are the steps I take to advance from two to one, achieving the supreme and unique!"

With this thought in mind, the road ahead suddenly became clear.

There was no roaring, no laughter, only a soft sigh that seemed to come from the very beginning.

With a sigh, all the pain, confusion, and struggle vanished, leaving only absolute clarity that illuminated the path ahead and the supreme power of dominion.

Li Xijun's "gaze" returned to the three magnificent Dharma images.

His eyes had completely changed; they were no longer filled with the struggle of competing with his peers, nor with the desperate search for knowledge, but rather with an examination of the supreme law he was about to use to create the heavens!

"The three of you are not enemies of my path, but rather the three supreme resources and fundamental laws upon which I created the heavens!"

"The Three Lives and Six Paths are all under my control! The Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams are united as one!"

"today!"

"I take the Great Luo as the indestructible core of the Dao, the supreme diagram, and the absolute authority."

"I will take you as provisions and establish the laws of my realm—"

—

"Within this body, I will redefine the earth, fire, wind, and water, and open up a realm that is real, all-encompassing, and solely under my control."

"【The Great Primordial Heaven】!"

The declaration marks the beginning of a new era!

"Thump—!"

Although the Great Luo Mark did not unleash its power, the concept of "supreme and unique" that it represented was like a divine oracle of creation, instantly covering the entire inner world.

Under this irresistible declaration, the three Dharma forms of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, the Fuxi Holy Emperor, and the Fengdu Great Emperor, like morning dew seeing the sun, completely evaporated and transformed, merging into a greater and more complete "new existence".

Within the Dharma Image of the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor, the trajectory of the stars began to resonate with the Eight Trigrams and Hexagrams of the Dharma Image of the Holy Emperor Fuxi;

The radiance of humanity within the Dharma Image of the Holy Emperor Fuxi began to permeate the Six Laws of the Dharma Image of the Great Emperor of Fengdu;

The true meaning of reincarnation within the Dharma Image of the Great Emperor of Fengdu flows in reverse into the sun, moon, and stars within the Dharma Image of the Heavenly Emperor of Ziwei!

Li Xijun's physical body, soul, and even true spirit resonated completely with the newly born Dharma Body Dao at this moment!

The essence of life is undergoing a revolutionary transformation!

At the very moment the fusion was completed, Li Xijun's physical body underwent a fundamental transformation.

The flow of Qi and blood is like the primordial chaos at the beginning of creation; the bones resonate as if the pillars supporting the heavens and earth are being formed; the internal organs pulsate, evolving the cycle of the birth and death of the five elements and the five virtues.

His life form is transforming from a "seeker of the Way within the world" to a supreme being who is "himself a primordial primordial heaven"!

The extraordinary phenomena corresponding to Li Xijun's attainment of the Dharma Body have already astonished the world!

At the far end of the East Sea, above Jianmen, the sea of ​​clouds that had just been stirred by Ye Wuqing's sword intent was suddenly pushed aside by an even more ancient and noble force.

The sun's rays are no longer surprising, but what is revealed now is a vast starry sky filled with purple mist!

The Purple Star Emperor shines brightly, ruling over the heavens, while the handle of the Big Dipper turns, pointing towards the darkness.

Countless stars were no longer simple points of light, but transformed into blurry phantoms of star gods, bowing in reverence towards the direction of Wujian Cliff.

Endless starlight condensed into a tangible purple rain of light, falling heavily, yet carrying an unparalleled majesty that judged all heavens and ruled over all laws!

This is the ultimate manifestation of the heavens, an extraordinary phenomenon in the Purple Star celestial sphere!

Almost the instant this strange phenomenon appeared, the entire summer sky, from south to north, east to west, was already plunged into silent astonishment.

Because anyone could see that this extraordinary phenomenon was clearly the scene they had witnessed when the Dharma Master attained the Great Dao of the Dharma Body.

Such a scene of a sky full of stars, with all the stars bowing down, undoubtedly originated from the Star Lord Li Xijun, who has shaken the world countless times!

When the two are combined, it naturally causes an uproar throughout the world.

"Star Lord..."

"...This is the attainment of the Dharmakaya!"

"How is that possible?"

"He only attained enlightenment today, so how did he manage to sever the Dharma bodies of the Shaolin Arhats before that?"

"In other words, Star Lord Li Xijun, before even reaching the Dharma Body stage, already slew an Arhat! What terrifying power will he possess now that he has attained the Dharma Body stage!"

Even the towering shaman wielding a giant axe, the Kunpeng soaring through the Milky Way, and all the high-ranking immortals of the world, were momentarily stunned and speechless upon seeing this starry sky.

"This child is truly... beyond imagination." The Dao Lord in the starry sea bowed his head in amazement for the first time.

"This is truly an era of great strife!" The great shaman of the grasslands looked astonished, then laughed heartily, "We are not alone!"

Before the world could discuss it, a vast and majestic dragon's roar suddenly resounded amidst the purple starlight.

A golden dragon phantom, its scales shimmering with the light of wisdom and civilization, snaked its way out of the void. On the dragon's head, one could vaguely see the figure of an emperor with dragon horns, holding the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), and with a compassionate yet resolute gaze.

Wherever the dragon's shadow passed, flowers bloomed in the void, each flower enacting an epic tale of humanity:

The fire of drilling wood, Cangjie's invention of characters, Yu the Great's flood control, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought —

The vast human destiny and the power of the long river of civilization surged and mingled with the purple star rain. Far from conflicting, under the harmony of the dragon and the emperor's phantom, a magnificent picture of passing on the spark of civilization and dancing with the heavenly way was presented!

This is the ultimate manifestation of humanity, a wondrous phenomenon of the Holy Emperor's dragon emblem!

Such a sight naturally caused all the people of the world to bow in awe. Scholarly families and learned men were overwhelmed with shock, their minds blank, only a voice echoing in their hearts: "That Star Lord... truly possesses the extraordinary qualities of an ancient sage ruler!"

The old emperor, who had just recovered his strength and broken through to the next realm, was about to manifest his true dragon emperor form and roar across the world when he saw this scene. He trembled and fell to the ground. Every wrinkle on his withered face trembled, and only he could hear a whisper surfacing: "Such a phenomenon of attaining the Dao is beyond even the Great Xia ancestor who comprehended the 'Eight Desolate Dragon Control True Chapter'!"

But this strange phenomenon did not end there. When the starry sky and the light of civilization reached their peak, the surface of the East China Sea below suddenly transformed into a bottomless, dark underworld.

The enormous gates of hell burst open with a deafening roar, but instead of being sinister and terrifying, they exuded a solemn order.

The Yellow Springs Road, the River of Oblivion, the Bridge of Helplessness, and the phantom images of the Ten Kings of Hell appeared in sequence, in an orderly fashion.

A wheel of the Three Lives and Six Paths, formed from the pure essence of life and death and the beginning and end of the Dao, slowly rotates in the center of the Netherworld. Within the wheel, there is the deathly stillness of all things withering and returning to extinction, and there are also the faint but tenacious buds of life that are conceived at the extreme of extinction!

The aura of the Cycle of Reincarnation subtly resonates with the starry sky and the power of civilization above, forming a profound balance where the cycle of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the rise and fall of life and death, are all governed by the Dao. This is the ultimate manifestation of the Earth, a wondrous phenomenon of the cycle of reincarnation through the Three Lives and Six Paths!

At this moment, in the underworld, the Azure Dragon Venerable, who was waiting for Li Qinghan, witnessed an unbelievable scene:

The finger bone left behind by the ghost immortal of the Yellow Springs in the past began to tremble and emanate fear as if it had seen its natural enemy. At this moment, the entire Yellow Springs land was shaking and trembling.
