Chapter 1003

Chat group.

Erlang Shen: "Thank you, Dao Jun. 【Thanks】"

Su Xiao: "Is it over already? That was too fast— are all the Buddhas of Lingshan this weak?"

Komaneko: "Indeed, only a few seconds."

Yang Jian: "Probably because Dao Jun's power is too overwhelming, giving him a decisive advantage, so the battle ended quickly."

Zhang Taixuan: "Lingshan is indeed a bit weak."

Xiao Yan: "Lingshan is weak? Don't joke— even a top-tier Taiyi Jin Xian would find it daunting."

Erlang Shen: "Compared to Dao Jun, Lingshan is far too weak— one strike and they were flung away. 【Video】"

Ye Hei: "Is that the Hunyuan Zhan Long Ji?"

Su Xiao: "Is this the power of a divine weapon? Unreal. Lingshan couldn't even block a single thrust."

Sun Wukong: "If Dao Jun had been more ruthless, every single being in Lingshan would've died in that one strike. Now this is a divine weapon— my Golden Cudgel? Just junk metal."

Yang Jian: "Looking at my Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Blade, I suddenly feel so poor."

Erlang Shen: "Same here."

Zhang Taixuan: "This is a divine weapon born only in a Grand World. Just its weight would overwhelm a normal Jin Xian— of course it's formidable."

Zhang Taixuan: "But there's no need to destroy Lingshan. Lingshan is a place favored by Heaven's Dao, destined to stand equal to the Heavenly Court. If 070 wiped it out, would the Dao of that world not come looking for me— and then harass Erlang Shen?"

Erlang Shen: "Thank you, Dao Jun, for thinking of me."

Han Paopao: "I also want a divine weapon. When will Dao Jun list divine weapons for sale?"

Ying Zheng: "Don't joke— I recall Han Tianzun hasn't even reached Jin Xian realm yet. If you buy one now, you won't even be able to lift it— you might get crushed to death."

Ye Hei: "Besides, you probably can't afford it anyway— such divine weapons won't be cheap."

Sun Wukong: "True. Forget it, I'm off to collect treasures for points— there are still two Eight-Transmutation Golden Cores there. I want to buy one to instantly reach Golden Immortal. Then I'll finally have the qualification to wield a divine weapon."

Su Xiao: "Very bold. But I wonder how long it'll take Great Sage to gather fifty billion points' worth of resources?"

Sun Wukong: "Should be quick! Aren't the Heavenly Court and Lingshan both rich?"

Hu Yifei: "Great Sage, don't end up begging Dao Jun to save you next."

Sun Wukong: "Nonsense— am I really that weak?"

Erlang Shen: "It's entirely possible— your strength hasn't even surpassed mine. If you meet a Lingshan expert, you'd be finished on the spot."

Sun Wukong: "Pfft, pfft, pfft— can't you say something lucky?"

Erlang Shen: "It's quite possible—you're still not stronger than me. If you ran into a Lingshan expert, you'd be finished on the spot."

Zhang Taixuan spent some time with Yang Chan before beginning his cultivation.

【Ding, you altered the Heavenly Dao's evolution path in the Bao Lian Deng world, drawing Heaven and Earth's attention. Heaven and Earth now recognize you as the Master of the Grand World and see your arrival as a prime opportunity for cosmic ascension. They bestow upon you a Chaos Heaven Flame, urging you to intensify your efforts.】

Chaos Heaven Flame: Primordial divine fire born alongside the divine goddess Nüwa. Chaos Heaven Flame ignites civilization, opens the universe— it is the primordial fire of creation in the Bao Lian Deng world.

This divine flame was originally the fire within the Bao Lian Deng lamp.

When Nüwa left the world, fearing the Bao Lian Deng would disrupt the balance of the Three Realms, she removed its Chaos Heaven Flame and replaced it with Pure Cleansing Flame.

【Ding, your presence has shown the Bao Lian Deng animated world a chance for ascension. The world bestows upon you the Flame of Light and permits you to establish a Dao lineage within this world.】

Flame of Light: When a divine being's will connects with Heaven and Earth, Nüwa's compassion radiates light through Chaos, birthing the world.

This is the supreme flame forged by Nüwa's spiritual power, possessing the great ability to open heaven and earth.

Yet, only the benevolent may wield this fire.

Flame of Light: With a thought of god and demon, heaven and earth respond; Nüwa's compassion, her inner light illuminating chaos, gave birth to the world.

Zhang Taixuan was stunned— he hadn't expected two mid-sized worlds to offer such generous rewards.

He immediately claimed the Chaos Heaven Flame.

The next instant, a gray, misty flame radiating infinite Dao resonance appeared in his hand.

The flame was tiny— no larger than a bean— yet it felt like the origin of all flames, the source of all fire.

【You have comprehended the Chaos Heaven Flame; your understanding of the Fire Dao has increased.】

【You have used it to evolve new fire types, creating 360,000 new variant flames.】

Zhang Taixuan gestured, and the Variant Flame Codex flew out from the Flame World and landed in his hand.

He unleashed immortal light, manifesting countless laws, imprinting the 360,000 variant flame laws onto the Codex.

Instantly, the Codex's rank surged, its power rising directly to the Upper-grade Spirit Treasure level.

Though only its power—

Zhang Taixuan's current Dao cultivation still could not reverse the post-heaven into the primordial. To ascend to a Primordial Spirit Treasure, he must wait for Heaven and Earth's ascension and the Dao's blessing.

"Next time Heaven and Earth ascend, I must focus on the Dao's blessing," Zhang Taixuan thought. "Previously, I only cared about boosting my cultivation base, ignoring its deeper mysteries— I was trading a pearl for a fishbone."

Moments later, the Variant Flame Codex completed its ascension. Its surface swirled with Chaos light, faint flames flickering, as if ready to burn down all heavens.

Zhang Taixuan nodded in satisfaction and tossed it back into the Flame World.

Instantly, the variant flames within the world thrived, and the world itself surged forward in growth.

Once an ordinary Flame World, it now instantly rose to the level of a primary mid-sized world.

In a moment, the Diagram of Strange Flames completed its advancement, wreathed in chaotic light, faintly glowing with fire, as if burning through all heavens.

a Chaos-colored flame rose, flickered, then transformed into a baby, floating and sinking within the flames.

"What a transformation— it truly evolved into a sentient being."

Originally just an ordinary flame world, it rapidly grew to the level of a primary mid-thousand world.

The center of the world.

A chaos-colored flame rose, flickered for a moment, then transformed into a baby, floating and sinking within the flames.

"What a tremendous change—it has truly evolved into sentient life."

Zhang Taixuan's eyes sharpened; he formed a seal with his hands and completely sealed off the flame world. "If that's the case, no one else may collect the flames—otherwise, harming its origin would be disastrous."

"It would not do."

After finishing this, Zhang Taixuan turned his gaze toward the Chaotic Heaven Flame.

【You have comprehended the Chaotic Heaven Flame; your understanding of the Way of Creation has increased.】

【Combining this with various Methods of Creation, your understanding of worlds has deepened. You have incorporated the Method of Opening Worlds into the Tai Xuan Sword Scripture, increasing its power.】

Zhang Taixuan gestured, summoning the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
