Chapter 124: Systems

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone was mildly surprised and then responded, "This title is quite interesting, and it fits well with the path you are on."

After speaking, he pondered deeply, realizing that the name proposed by Gu Wudi was not simple, possibly harboring great destiny or causality.

"Primordial Qi…"

he muttered to himself, falling into deep contemplation—a rare occurrence for him, given his profound knowledge and insight, surpassing even many immortal kings of his realm. It was difficult for anything to leave him undecided.

After a long while, he regained his composure, looked at Gu Wudi, and asked, "Have you considered the path you wish to take in the future?

If you have any thoughts, feel free to share; if not, that's alright too."

As a trustworthy senior, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was someone Gu Wudi felt no need to hold back with.

"A speck of dust can fill the sea, a single blade of grass can sever stars and the moon. I wish to cultivate every particle seed within my body into its own world, where each can rival the vastness of external worlds."

"A commendable idea. To think that a world developed from a single particle seed can match an entire great realm. The number of seeds within your body, when combined, wield a power equivalent to countless grand worlds—it's terrifying to imagine," praised the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, admiration evident in his expression.

Then, he changed his tone, adding, "Having grand ambitions is great, but the process will undoubtedly be arduous, a nine-death ordeal."

"I have long placed life and death beyond my consideration," Gu Wudi answered calmly.

To him, if he could not transcend fate, being at its mercy would render life meaningless.

"Very well. If you wish to pioneer a new path, you must possess such resolve."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded slightly, then solemnly shared his perspective on the refining of qi from an unparalleled immortal king's standpoint.

"Primordial Qi represents the beginning of a new path, embodying the essence of Dao birthing one.

Dao births one, one births two, two births three, three births all things. To seek the ultimate origin, the 'one,' one must start from the 'all things' stage and trace back to the source.

You need to extract that strand of Primordial Qi, also known as refining qi. This means returning to the essence from effect to cause, so 'all things' revert back to 'one.'

Once you achieve the 'one,' the 'Dao fruit' will not be far from reach.

This is the grand direction, akin to the trunk of a towering tree.

With the trunk established, we can then pursue the branches and twigs, allowing this tree to gradually flourish, grow strong, and eventually become a mature system."

The words of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone enlightened Gu Wudi, dispelling the fog of uncertainty looming over his path ahead. His mind cleared, he comprehended the concept.

"When all things return to one, only then can I attain the most primal Dao, which is the Dao fruit I seek," he murmured to himself, lost in a myriad of thoughts.

"All I can offer you is guidance on the overarching direction; the branches and leaves of this great tree must be discovered and created by you."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone chose not to elaborate further.

The reason was simple: the gap between him and Gu Wudi was too vast, their understanding of 'Dao' as different as heaven and earth. If he were to provide the branches and leaves for Gu Wudi, then Gu Wudi would essentially become a soulless puppet, following instructions without his own essence.

Indeed, from an Immortal King's perspective, viewing the Path of the Seed of the Self is far more comprehensive and profound compared to the viewpoint of a mere mortal.

However, creating a new system is not a simple formulaic process; it involves various complex factors, no easier than one might imagine.

It requires extraordinary creativity, bold imagination, as well as remarkable fortune and opportunity.

Otherwise, every Immortal King would be able to establish a new system.

Thus, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone would not stifle Gu Wudi's creativity; organizing the trunk of the tree was already the greatest assistance he could give.

"Thank you, venerable elder."

Gu Wudi expressed his gratitude with sincerity, performing the ceremonial gesture of a disciple toward his master before the dazzlingly handsome man in white.

Seeing this, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone felt a sense of contentment.

Then, with a sigh, Gu Wudi spoke to the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, "Previously, I intended to follow the Path of the Dao Seed, to allow the seeds within my body to take root and flourish, maximizing their potential.

However, now, the path of taking root has proven illusory; as soon as roots form, they fall away, ultimately coalescing into a singular strand of immortal qi.

I am certain this surpasses the scope of the Dao Seed method; further steps like the Origin of Dao and Seedling Growth seem improbable. From this moment, I no longer entertain illusions of continuing down the Dao Seed path.

Every step of the future path must be forged anew.

Your words, venerable elder, have enlightened me and sparked a new train of thought."

"Oh?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone was taken aback, surprised that Gu Wudi had conceived an idea so swiftly. He was eager to hear what ingenious insight had emerged.

Gu Wudi nodded, sharing his thoughts: "Essence, the quintessence, constitutes all substances of the human body. I use my body as the seed, transforming all particles into ancient seeds; my essence is fully concentrated within these seeds.

Now, the ancient seeds have sprouted roots, forming into a strand of immortal qi; this is a fundamental transformation I call 'refining essence into qi.'

This stage encompasses four layers:

First layer, particles form seeds.

Second layer, one strand of immortal qi.

Third layer, two strands of immortal qi.

Fourth layer, three strands of immortal qi.

When I cultivate three strands of immortal qi, it signifies the pinnacle of refining essence into qi, reaching its utmost limit.

The subsequent step: transformation again.

The body must possess spirit; how to cultivate spirit? 'Refining qi into spirit' as well.

The three strands of immortal qi cultivated during the first step, refining essence into qi, form the foundation for refining qi into spirit.

Three strands of immortal qi alone can blossom into the flower of the Great Dao, bear the fruit of Dao, and thus transform into spirit.

However, for the three strands of immortal qi to bloom and bear fruit requires nourishment from other parts of the body, such as the five organs having five energies, reconciling with the original qi, summoning the gods of the four symbols, and the cycle of six paths...

The pinnacle of this realm is symbolized by the fruition of three strands of immortal qi, converging at the top as the state of Transformation.

Following this is the third stage—Returning Spirit to Void, establishing oneself in the realm of Transformation, drawing close to the Dao, comprehending the Dao, and grasping the profound truths of the universe.

In this realm, cultivators will have full contact with the Dao, potentially creating the illusion of merging with it. Of course, it is not true fusion or exploitation but an exploration of the secrets of the Dao's origin, accumulating knowledge for future realms—this is Returning to Void.

After Returning to Void, one must understand their true self, quiet their mind, and clarify the Dao.

Then, perform the "escape one," transcending beyond the heavens and earth, free and unfettered.

The final step is Unifying Void with Dao, infusing the understood Dao into each seed, nurturing them to create a world, aiming for the primal genesis.

Beyond this lies the immortal path...

This isn't entirely Gu Wudi's own concept. It's a method of refining qi he learned in his past life, slightly modified to perfectly align with his own path.

As he finished speaking, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was dumbfounded, staring deeply at Gu Wudi, his eyes alight with wonder, momentarily at a loss for words.

This was no mere "idea" but a mature and feasible system.

It's just that no one has tread this path yet.

With the Lord of the Forbidden Zone's insight, combined with Gu Wudi's own situation, it's evident this path is practically tailored for Gu Wudi.

A smile played on his lips, his heart brimming with satisfaction. With a disciple like this, what more could a master ask for?

"Senior, don't say that," Gu Wudi felt a bit ashamed, for this wasn't his ingenious idea. He stood on the shoulders of giants, overlooking the world.

However, for this world, the refining method is indeed unprecedented, a first in creation.

"Haha, it's nothing. My concepts are indeed not as clear as yours.

Refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, unifying void with Dao...

Wonderful, truly extraordinary, awe-inspiring. Once you achieve true immortality, create worlds, and transform minute primordial seeds into a world, you can pursue that elusive trace of primal energy," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone marveled, unable to refrain from laughing heartily.

It had been many years since he felt such joy.

Gu Wudi felt pleased deep inside. He completed the branches and leaves of the great tree, and now all that remained was to diligently carve out this new system. Once done, he would possess the means to challenge the supreme domain.

After the feelings of joy and exhilaration subsided, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone did not forget his earlier promise; he intended to teach Gu Wudi an unparalleled sacred art.

"From what I've observed of your cultivation, it seems there's something missing. Take a look at this."

With those words, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone handed Gu Wudi an immaculate white bone fragment.

Gu Wudi received it in his hands and, upon first glance, saw that the smooth, white bone was covered in densely packed characters. They seemed primitive, like ancient markings from a distant, uncivilized era, containing traces of the Dao, and exuding an extraordinary aura.

"The Primal True Explanation."

He recognized the origin of this bone; it was none other than the renowned Primal True Explanation.

In the primordial ancient world, the Primal True Explanation was widely circulated. Most factions had copies for fostering the foundational cultivation of younger practitioners.

Although Dao-planting methods begin directly from the Dao's realm, caring little for the changes in technique, ultimately, all great paths lead to the same destination. A lot could be gained from the Primal True Explanation.

Originally, Gu Wudi, as a scion of an Immortal King family, should have undergone the enlightenment of the Primal True Explanation during his Dao-planting stage to build a solid foundation.

Unfortunately, the abruptness of unforeseen events caught everyone off guard.

In the subsequent cultivation, Gu Wudi focused more on finding a path suitable for himself, overlooking some of the most fundamental things.

Now, with the Lord of the Forbidden Zone bringing it up, the timing was quite opportune.

"This is a copy of the Divine Guide Chapter, not the genuine article. It lacks that supreme divine aura of the real thing. However, I can compensate for that shortfall, as I have witnessed nearly everything described in the Primal True Explanation.

Once you comprehend the contents of the Divine Guide Chapter of the Primal True Explanation, I will impart an unparalleled technique to you, one that fits you perfectly."

Gu Wudi quickly nodded in gratitude.

The insight of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was beyond doubt. If he said it was a fit, it certainly would be.

Just like Qingyue, who completely transformed after learning a Sutra of Rebirth, becoming entirely different from before. Although her personality had some unfavorable changes, from a strength perspective, she was far more powerful than ever.

"Alright, there's no time like the present. Let's begin now. I'll remain here to demonstrate the battles and matters described in the Divine Guide Chapter." urged the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

Gu Wudi nodded, placing the lustrous white bone before his chest, staring intently.

A dense array of characters detailed the origins of runes, revealed the mysteries of the primal treasure bones, and annotated the strengths and weaknesses of various fierce beasts and divine birds.

Starting from the most primitive points, it explained the wonders of the world, encompassing all aspects and fields.

Gu Wudi was immersed in it, wandering the vast ocean of primordial runes, as if traversing through time and space, returning to that wild and ancient era and witnessing all kinds of mysteries firsthand.

Later, illustrations began to accompany the runes, depicting some battle scenes with an intensely striking clarity that brought a sense of fierce confrontation, making one's heart stand still.

However, after all, the rubbings were just rubbings, as the Lord of the Forbidden Zone had said, lacking the divine charm of the real objects.

At this moment, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone intervened, demonstrating with supreme power the great battles he had once witnessed himself for Gu Wudi.

The scenes were so real: a majestic Sky Roc obscured the sky, battling gods, shattering the heavens and earth, leaving the sun and moon darkened, and the bloodshed was unrivaled.

Gu Wudi's eyes widened as he watched this battle, frequently comparing it with the descriptions in the Divine Ink Mantra rubbings.

Subsequently, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone also demonstrated the grand battles where the Golden-winged Roc fought gods, the Taotie confronted Suanni, and gods fought to the death with other gods. Each scene was vividly realistic, making one feel completely immersed.

These were all events he had personally experienced, not something made up, naturally leaving a deep impression.

After some insight, Gu Wudi gained immensely; the primal seeds in his body quivered lightly, flashed with light, and thickened slightly.

The immortal aura surrounding him grew more radiant, exuding a powerful force amidst its crystalline holiness.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone nodded secretly, observing all this, knowing that the time was ripe to teach Gu Wudi a supreme method. He concentrated slightly and said to Gu Wudi, "The great method I am going to teach you is the art of Transformative Unity of All Spirits."

"Transformative Unity of All Spirits..." Gu Wudi murmured, recalling Shi Hao from the original work, who had also comprehended such a technique, although he had not evolved it into a world-class divine art.

"This method requires an extensive understanding of various arts, encompassing all. The more you understand, the greater the power. Your comprehension of the Divine Ink Mantra is a preliminary fulfillment of the conditions for this method.

In the future, you should strive to understand the Dao and Techniques of various clans. Remember, every race in this world has its own reason for existence. Do not overlook the most fundamental, the most primitive things."

"This junior understands."

"Mmm, Transformative Unity of All Spirits requires fostering a vital breath within your body first. This will be the foundation. Nourish it day and night; the scriptures of all races can serve as its nourishment.

In ordinary times, keep it hidden and unrefined, accumulating power, so that when the time comes to unleash it, it erupts instantaneously, with a transcendence and brilliance enough to sever gods and annihilate immortals."

Chapter 125 Departure

In the vast, boundless void, two towering figures faced each other, their auras clashing with such fierce intensity that even the space around them began to collapse, unable to bear the burden of their power. The earth lay in ruin beneath them, riddled with burning star remnants and billowing smoke that refused to dissipate.

Suddenly, one of the figures opened its mouth, expelling a stream of primal essence akin to a dazzling streak of light.

In an instant, the essence transformed into a starry river, spewing out countless radiant points like stars, which evolved into a plethora of creatures and battle beasts. Mighty golden mammoths roared to the heavens, while great golden-winged rocs soared into the sky, rising an endless distance, along with Sun Devourers, Gluttons, Undying Nine-Headed Birds, Purple-Gold True Hous, Suannis, and Bians.

There were too many to count, encompassing all races, including many creatures unseen even by the ancient invincibles. Time, in its merciless passage, had long erased their tribes from history's river, yet now, in the spectacle choreographed by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, they were reborn.

This sight was terrifying beyond measure. The colossal beasts blotted the sky, running and howling, shattering the void and obliterating stars, akin to the cataclysmic eruption of mountains and seas, crushing everything and annihilating worlds.

With a mere thought, myriad spirits were summoned, bringing about heaven's ruin and earth's demise. Such means were truly astonishing.

The other figure was both furious and startled, bellowing to the heavens as it unleashed its supreme techniques, instantly obliterating hundreds of ancient beasts, tearing them asunder.

Yet, there were tens of thousands of ancient beasts charging and trampling over everything, making them impossible to completely vanquish.

Before long, the figure was engulfed, its voice lost amidst the chaos.

When calm finally returned, the figure had vanished entirely, evidently struck to dust by the unleashed spirits.

Subsequently, the spirits transformed into particles of light. Upon close inspection, one would find that these were tiny ancient characters, intricate and profound, each character embodying an entire race's essence.

The luminous particles gathered once more, flowing back into the figure's mouth along with the primal essence, to settle into the depths of its being, nourishing quietly.

At this point, the scene cut off, and the hand of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone withdrew.

Gu Wudi was deeply shaken in spirit, clearly observing that the two entities in the scene were evenly matched, having waged a protracted struggle. Yet, upon the application of the technique to harmonize myriad spirits from essence, one instantly subdued the adversary.

Such methods were immensely powerful and nearly impossible to defend against.

The only flaw is the vast consumption of divine energy; without prior accumulation of power, deploying this in combat would likely deplete a cultivator's mana instantaneously.

Thus, it is crucial to store power in advance, nurturing that primal essence within, and releasing it when contesting opponents. The colossal might therein can sever gods and obliterate immortals.

"This is the scripture of that method. Remember, you must nurture it with utmost diligence, accumulating power. It can only be used as a one-time trump card, a strike reserved for desperate situations. Do not use it frivolously in ordinary conflicts," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone advised earnestly.

Gu Wudi accepted the scripture, nodding in acknowledgment.

"Next, you shall meditate on this scripture within this Hall of Enlightenment. When the innate essence forms, you may initially harness the power of the 'One Qi Transforming Into Myriad Beings' technique before leaving seclusion," the Lord continued, then began to depart.

At this moment, Gu Wudi spoke up to explain the troubles he and Qingyue faced, as well as their plans.

"A Quasi-Immortal King is attacking with an avatar, bolstered by an Immortal King behind him... It's a bit troublesome, but not too concerning. Rest assured about Qingyue's safety. I'll leave some measures with her," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone responded thoughtfully.

Throughout the discussion, he never inquired why Gu Wudi had such entanglements with Immortal Kings and Quasi-Immortal Kings or what secrets he might be hiding. He merely pledged to ensure Qingyue's safety.

Gu Wudi was deeply moved, for if the Lord had asked, he would have been in an awkward position.

Fortunately, the Immortal King's foresight was profound, and much could be discerned at a glance, making lengthy explanations unnecessary.

With the promise received, Gu Wudi sighed with relief, watched as the Lord left, and then calmed his mind, severing stray thoughts to focus on mastering the 'One Qi Transforming Into Myriad Beings' technique.

Time flew by, and before long, half a month had passed. Gu Wudi, immersed in this state of enlightenment, was oblivious to the passage of time. When he finally accomplished the mastery of the technique and consolidated his cultivation to the Second Layer of Qi Refinement, reaching the level of a single thread of Immortal Qi, he emerged from the metallic Hall of Enlightenment, only to find Qingyue had already left.

She left him a transmission message, informing him that, through the Lord of the Forbidden Zone's recommendation, she had gone to join his sixth disciple—the female immortal named Biyu.

Although the Rebirth Sutra had allowed her a complete transformation, unlocking the treasure buried within the Qingyue Flame, her cultivation was still too low. With such a fledgling level, establishing herself in the realm of cultivation was challenging, especially as a strikingly beautiful woman, which easily attracted complications. By seeking refuge with Biyu, who had already become an Immortal, she could rise more swiftly and ensure her safety.

Upon hearing the contents of the message, Gu Wudi felt at ease knowing that the Lord had already arranged matters concerning Qingyue, eliminating the need to worry about whether Xuny yang would pursue her.

Even if the Lord of the Forbidden Zone was but a remnant will, a Quasi-Immortal King could not easily challenge him. Xuny yang's leader, Ao Sheng, would certainly not personally confront him in the Heavenly Path Domain.

After all, this domain was guarded by the Seven Kings of the Borderlands. Any outsiders had to announce themselves in advance, or it would be deemed an invasion. Moreover, Ao Sheng had a strained relationship with the Borderland clans, making his personal arrival even less likely.

Besides, Ao Sheng was a supreme Immortal King, revered as a "Colossus" in the Immortal Realm, how aloof and proud! To him, only other Immortal Kings merited attention, everyone else were mere ants, and he would not personally involve himself in hindering Gu Wudi, not even for the son of an Immortal King whom he wouldn't bother noticing.

At most, it was from Xunyang's account that Gu Wudi heard a young man in the Primal Ancient World had merged with the Wang Family's Celestial Seed, which might be related to Wang Heng. He offhandedly suggested to do as needed about it.

Unless one day Gu Wudi, like Shi Hao, faced the Immortal King Tribulation, Ao Sheng might personally intercept and target him. Or perhaps Gu Wudi might catch Ao Sheng's attention, sensing the entanglement of karmic threads.

Having resolved Qingyue's troubles, Gu Wudi found his task much simpler; he only needed to manipulate the particle seed, change his appearance, and even if Xunyang stood before him, might not recognize him.

"Have you exited your retreat? Come, sit." In front of a thatched hut, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone gestured for Gu Wudi to sit across from him.

"Elder, I'm leaving. I came to bid you farewell."

"No hurry, sit first."

They sat across a tea table, and the Immortal Page immediately served a cup of bitter tea to Gu Wudi.

As he looked at the deeply red tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, Gu Wudi's expression changed slightly, recalling the unsurpassed bitterness and astringency.

Then again, outsiders wished to drink such tea but couldn't.

If drinking this bitter tea meant becoming a disciple of an Immortal King, countless beings would rush for the chance.

Without hesitation, not waiting for the Lord of the Forbidden Zone to speak, Gu Wudi drank the bitter tea in one gulp. Better short pain than long agony; to slowly sip it would be worse than gulping it down in one go.

"Bitter? Astringent? Remember this sensation. In the future, whatever you face will surpass it a hundredfold, a thousandfold. Once you surmount all hurdles and hardships, I'll brew you another cup of tea, and perhaps by then, it will taste entirely different." The Lord of the Forbidden Zone spoke with profound meaning.

Hearing this, Gu Wudi's thoughts drifted far and wide. Suddenly, the bitter tea didn't seem so bitter or astringent, and a desire to taste another sip arose in his heart. Yet, when he lifted the cup, he realized he had already emptied it in one go.

Gazing at the empty cup, he felt a sense of regret and simultaneously an enlightenment of sorts.

At this moment, he understood the good intentions of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone.

"This disciple has learned his lesson." Gu Wudi felt gratitude in his heart, referring to himself as a disciple.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone said nothing, merely smiled without a word. Who wouldn't want a disciple capable of creating an unprecedented, world-shaking system?

Afterward, Gu Wudi bade farewell, and with two true immortal attendants seeing him off, he departed the low mountain range.

Standing before the ancient path that teamed with illusions, Gu Wudi felt overwhelmed with emotion, as if this journey had been a dream.

This time, he no longer needed to hold a celestial weapon or drift along on a sacred wood in the River of the Lunar Shade. The beings on the outskirts of the Forbidden Zone had long been waiting to respectfully see him out of the Crossroad of Yin and Yang Forbidden Zone.

Gazing into the distance, where the majestic mountains and rivers stretched, with peaks gathered like a throng, this was the Grand Dao Heaven of outstanding heroes and the intersection of the Three Realms. It would also be the place where Gu Wudi attained his Dao. He strode swiftly through the verdant mountains and clouds, his heart swelling with a sense of grandeur.

…

In Hunyuan City, on Mount Shangcang, under the gaze of all present, Wang Heng emerged from the collapsed ancient temple. He had long withdrawn the ten layers of void above his head, reverting to a state of simplicity, as if returning to the purity and innocence of nature.

Yet no one present thought of him like that, for this vibrant young man before them had already ranked among the top ten in the Immortal Domain, destined to make a name that resonated throughout the realm.

Zhunxi King Hun Hong approached with congratulations, lavish in his praise.

Some true immortals residing on Mount Shangcang were also roused, rushing over, nodding repeatedly at him.

At this moment, the Black King squeezed in, proudly chatting and laughing with the true immortals, boasting extravagantly of Wang Heng's accomplishments while claiming a large share of the credit.

Wang Heng found it both amusing and vexing, yet he didn't mind. On the contrary, he was grateful to the Black King, for without its earnest persuasion for Unending Immortal King to bring him along, he might never have caught this opportunity.

Without Unending's shelter and the conveniences it provided, how would he have fared alone in the Immortal Domain? Certainly, he would not have become one of the top ten.

Once the crowd dispersed, the Black King and Wang Heng were led to another ancient temple.

Before Wang Heng could catch his breath, he received a summons from the Immortal King.

The fortune-hewn domain had ultimately captured the attention of Hunyuan Immortal King, the master of Mount Shangcang. Naturally, Wang Heng wouldn't defy the Immortal King's will, preparing at once to follow the true immortals of Mount Shangcang to the Immortal King's Palace.

At this moment, the Black King conveyed, "No need to be nervous. With Wuji here, you'll be fine. Moreover, when the Hun Yuan Immortal King gave you the ancient scripture of Hun Yuan earlier, it was because he had faith in you. This time, calling you over is likely a way to assess your worth before deciding whether to make a further investment.

Heh, this is something I have seen countless times. In the Immortal Domain, where the factions are well-defined, it's all too common. However, to have the Immortal King make a move, you must have the capital. Not everyone qualifies for this privilege."

Wang Heng nodded, then followed the True Immortal of the Heavenly Mountain through the passage.

Legend has it that this towering mountain fell from the heavens, concealing endless secrets. The current master of this mountain, the Hun Yuan Immortal King, resides at its peak, symbolizing the highest echelon.

Their journey to the Hun Yuan Palace was essentially a climb up the Heavenly Mountain. Here, even true immortals cannot fly, forced to rely on their footsteps.

They ascended this supreme region of the vast universe step by step like ordinary mortals.

Ahead, chaotic energy surged as a massive grand palace stood majestic within it. Its imposing presence seemed to suppress even time itself, eternal and indestructible. Any being lacking Immortal King-level strength would feel insignificant in front of this palace, realizing their own smallness and insignificance.

With a heart full of reverence, Wang Heng walked into the grand palace step by step.

The Hun Yuan Immortal King, who had been waiting for some time, sat high on a stone chair surrounded by swirling chaos energy, ancient and mysterious. His eyes were deep, imbued with an indescribable majesty that sent a chill down one's spine. Beside him, another stone chair of equal height stood on the side, signifying the distinction of host and guest.

Seated there was the towering figure of Wuji Immortal King, a guest on the Heavenly Mountain. Seeing Wang Heng enter, Wuji nodded slightly at him.

Wang Heng, not tense to begin with, was used to meeting Immortal Kings, and knew that Hun Yuan held no malice towards him. However, Wuji Immortal King's gesture greatly boosted his confidence, stabilizing his steps.

"Wang Heng greets Uncle Hun Yuan and Senior Wuji," he saluted the two Immortal Kings with great respect.

"Hmm," the Immortal Kings nodded in acknowledgment.

"I heard that you have evolved the Cave Heaven realm into a brand new direction through creation. Could you demonstrate it for us?" Hun Yuan spoke with a gentle smile, his tone amiable.

Hearing this, Wang Heng was flattered and surprised. An Immortal King engaging with him in such a manner really showed the level of importance attributed to him.

He hurriedly humbled himself, then activated the twelve celestial worlds, allowing the two Immortal Kings to observe.

The enormous primordial spirit world appeared like a nascent universe—mysterious and boundless. In contrast, the flesh celestial world and the ten external celestial worlds seemed much smaller, revolving around the primordial spirit like stars encircling the moon.
