Chapter 58: Convergence, True Spirit Remnant Species

Besides these human Returning Void Great Cultivators and Combined Body Heavenly Lords, who had dispatched their Dharma Bodies and Dao Bodies to act.

In this Desolate Domain, certain special beings were also startled by this Boundless Vision and revived from their slumber.

Heading toward the southern sky where the world's vision had manifested.

……

Deep within the Yuanling Realm, after a full month of baptism by that mysterious power akin to the World Origin.

Chen Daoxuan's Flesh Dharma Body and Great Dao Primordial Spirit, beyond the original one hundred and eight thousand Void Apertures, had by mysterious providence opened another twenty-one thousand six hundred Void Apertures.

Reaching one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred — that One Eon Number.

Besides this, his flesh body, Primordial Spirit, Dharma Power, and even his comprehension of the ten Great Daos had all seen some improvement in various aspects, but compared to the change in Void Apertures, these were not fundamental transformations.

But the Yuanling Realm, which had undergone the baptism alongside him, was entirely different — it had undergone earth-shattering, tremendous changes.

The Heavenly Heart Consciousness surged a hundredfold, and by mysterious providence underwent a qualitative sublimation and metamorphosis.

Chen Daoxuan could faintly sense the threat emanating from the Heavenly Heart Consciousness of the Yuanling Realm.

This was something utterly unimaginable a month ago.

And beyond the metamorphosis of the Heavenly Heart Consciousness, the Yuanling Realm, which originally had only a diameter of three million miles, a sky eighty thousand miles high, and earth thirty thousand miles thick.

Had directly expanded to a diameter of twelve million miles, a sky three hundred sixty thousand miles high, and earth one hundred eighty thousand miles thick.

That layer of Profound Yellow Realm Membrane had increased a hundredfold in thickness.

Beyond these surface changes, the depth of each of the Three Thousand Great Daos that originally constituted the Yuanling Realm had, after a month of baptism, directly increased at least tenfold, with the lowest now reaching the level of three thousand threads of Law Imprint.

And the Great Daos that served as the world's foundation, such as Yin-Yang and Five Elements, had directly reached the Great Dao level exceeding ten thousand threads of Law Imprint.

Space had also become as stable and solid as that of the True Spirit Great Realm.

With the Yuanling Realm as it now was, it could fully nurture Returning Void beings capable of roaming the void — one could say it had thoroughly transcended the scope of the Mortal Realm.

……

Regarding this tremendous elevation of the Yuanling Realm, Chen Daoxuan was also full of joy.

Because the elevation of the Yuanling Realm was the elevation of his Returning to Void Dao Field.

And the stronger the Returning to Void Dao Field, the smoother his Return to Void path would be, and the more powerful his future achievements would be.

But for this current change, Chen Daoxuan did not need to go through that Heavenly Heart Mark, which had likewise undergone tremendous change — just through the Void True Realm he could clearly sense that the upper limit of the Yuanling Realm's power he could normally wield and command had surged a hundredfold.

Likewise, only about one ten-thousandth of its power overflowed among the myriad beings of heaven and earth.

But now this one ten-thousandth of power was more than a hundred times stronger than a month ago.

Within the scope of the Yuanling Realm, and with the aid of the Heavenly Heart Consciousness, Chen Daoxuan was confident he would be no weaker than a Combined Body being.

……

And at this moment, as the Yuanling Realm began to thoroughly enter the True Spirit Great Realm.

Chen Daoxuan only then discovered that the True Spirit Great Realm actually had no realm walls or realm membrane.

Only the boundless radiance of the world's light shining through the endless void, embracing all.

And at the instant the Yuanling Realm entered, the world's light of the True Spirit Great Realm appeared even more brilliant and radiant.

Bearing the Yuanling Realm, resonating with the Yuanling Realm.

By mysterious providence, the Profound Yellow Realm Membrane of the Yuanling Realm, now a hundred times thicker than a month ago, began to shed — seemingly slow yet actually swift.

And where the Profound Yellow Realm Membrane shed away, faint world's light began to emerge, merging with the world's light emanating from the True Spirit Great Realm.

"The realm membrane must be shed for the Yuanling Realm to thoroughly transcend the limits of the Mortal Realm?"

Watching this scene, Chen Daoxuan gained some understanding in his heart, murmured softly, then his heart stirred — Returning Void Dharma Power circulated, he wielded the Void True Realm, and collected the Profound Yellow Realm Membrane that, after shedding, seemed about to dissolve within the Yuanling Realm.

His Returning Void divine sense, which permeated the void, further enveloped the shed Profound Yellow Realm Membrane, analyzing its information.

In but an instant, joy rose in Chen Daoxuan's heart.

"By its very nature, isn't this Profound Yellow Realm Membrane a perfect fit for refining the Mountains and Seas Diagram!"

"Even more suitable than those heaven materials and earthly treasures recorded within the Mountain-Sea Immortal Scripture for refining the Mountains and Seas Diagram."

"Could it be that this kind of heaven-and-earth fetal membrane is the most suitable material for refining the Mountains and Seas Diagram?"

In the midst of these thoughts, Chen Daoxuan continued collecting the Profound Yellow Realm Membrane shed by the Yuanling Realm.

……

And while collecting, he directly applied the artifact-refining method from the Mountain-Sea Immortal Scripture to the collected Profound Yellow Realm Membrane.

This artifact-refining method was, in fact, the fundamental great art within the Mountain-Sea Immortal Scripture — the 【Mountains and Seas Diagram】.

Both a fundamental great art and a mysterious artifact-refining method.

……

Returning Void Dharma Power surged forth, and one after another, prohibition patterns like mountains and seas began to manifest upon the collected Profound Yellow Realm Membrane.

A little over ten breaths later.

When nearly one-fifth of the Yuanling Realm's Profound Yellow Realm Membrane had shed, Chen Daoxuan's expression stirred slightly.

It was through the Heavenly Heart Mark that he sensed, hundreds of millions of miles away, those towering figures bearing the power of the Great Dao.

By the looks of it, in a little over ten breaths, figures would arrive and discover the Yuanling Realm shedding its Profound Yellow Realm Membrane, completing its final metamorphosis.

At this, Chen Daoxuan's expression did not change, and he continued refining the shed Profound Yellow Realm Membrane.

Only the three Return to Void Dharma Bodies — Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Space — appeared in various places throughout the Yuanling Realm.

And in less than ten breaths.

Chen Daoxuan sensed the arrival of an existence merged with the Dao, as if the Great Dao itself had taken form in the world.

……

"A Xiao Lingjie undergoing metamorphosis!"

The Five Elements Sect's Supreme Elder, the Five Primordial Heavenly Lords — clad in a grey robe and holding a horsetail whisk — was full of pleasant surprise.

The Dao Body approached the Yuanling Realm directly, wanting to get there first.

But when he was still several hundred thousand li from the Yuanling Realm, the Heavenly Heart Consciousness of the Yuanling Realm began to seethe slightly.

A clear sense of rejection surfaced.

Only then did the Heavenly Heart Consciousness of the True Spirit Great Realm follow closely behind, emanating a trace of Heavenly Might.

In an instant, the Five Primordial Heavenly Lords stopped his steps directly.

"What a pity, with Tian Dao's obstruction, this kind of opportunity still has to be shared with those fellows."

"And we still have to face those True Spirit Remnants."

After a wave of his horsetail whisk, he stood in the void, waiting.

Then, after a dozen or so breaths of time.

Another three Combined Body Dao Bodies, along with seven Return to Void Dharma Bodies radiating a near-perfect Great Dao aura, arrived one after another.

By tacit agreement, they stood in separate positions, waiting quietly.

Only the fluctuations caused by the interweaving and linking of their divine senses appeared extremely chaotic.

After another dozen or so breaths, five True Spirit Remnants emanating the pressure of Combined Body arrived.

After the five True Spirit Remnants gathered, the one among them whose entire body flickered with vast thunder radiance, whose aura and pressure were the most immense—a giant bear as tall as a mountain range—let out a low bear roar toward the Five Primordial Heavenly Lords.

"Five Primordials, finders' share applies; of this Xiao Lingjie, my True Spirit Heavenly Alliance wants seventy percent."

"Fellow Daoist Xiong Gang, in this Mystic Dragon Desolate Domain, your True Spirit Alliance should be led by the fellow Daoists of the Black Dragon lineage—since when could you call the shots?" Hearing this, the Five Primordial Heavenly Lords merely responded with a faint smile, then turned his gaze toward the black flood dragon coiled across the heavens and said:

"Fellow Daoist Xuanfa, you tell him!"
