Chapter 1287

Ma Xiaoling was also surprised: "Thank you, Dao Jun."

"I'm off!" Zhang Taixuan shook his head lightly. "We'll talk another time."

"No! Human, do you know what happens when all beings lose their fate?" Fate shrieked.

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "The fate of all beings is created by the beings themselves. All beings are born free—who gave you the right to manipulate them?"

"No, that's not right. Without me—"

"Illusory fate may exist, but a living fate? Best to crush it!" Zhang Taixuan shook his head, gazing at the sky. "Whether it's Nüwa or the Pangu clan—if anyone dares to erase the world—"

I shall slay them.

With those words, he vanished.

"So domineering!" Ma Xiaoling's eyes gleamed with awe.

Ma Danna was speechless: "Xiaoling, snap out of it—the Dao Jun is already gone!"

Ma Xiaoling came to her senses, slightly embarrassed—had she just been too disrespectful?

"Who?"

Nüwa felt a tremendous force suddenly appear, pinning her in place; after a while, she regained her freedom.

"Who in this realm possesses such power?"

The Pangu clan was now facing the same situation.

They were immobilized from afar, utterly powerless to resist.

This feeling was terrifying.

"Who exactly is it?"

After calling out for a while, they gained nothing and finally gave up.

As for pursuing the matter, they thought about it and abandoned the idea.

What good would finding them do?

The one who could immobilize them from afar could kill them just as easily.

If they went looking, they'd only anger the one who could do this—and gain nothing.

Daluo Heaven.

Zhang Taixuan directly sealed Fate, unwilling to listen to its noise any longer; with a casual gesture, he summoned the Qiankun Cauldron and tossed Fate inside. "Two-six-three"

【You observed Fate, understood its structure, and, drawing upon numerous elixir methods, created the Fate Divine Elixir, which fuses with all energies, allowing you to refine one Nine-Turn Great Elixir.】

In but a moment, Zhang Taixuan had made his decision.

The Nine-Turn Divine Elixir—one pill alone could elevate a being to Daluo, and even for Zhang Taixuan, it was a valuable item, sufficient to advance him.

But this formula was destined to be a one-time use only; refining it again later would be difficult.

After all, the main ingredient—Fate—was not easy to find.

He shook his head lightly, dispelling the fleeting thoughts from his mind; with a shift of intent, he hurled chaotic energy, immortal energy, and world primordial essence into the Qiankun Cauldron.

With magic power activated, the Hongmeng Dao Fire ignited, beginning the elixir refinement.

This refinement lasted a full year.

Fate in the Zombie World was not strong enough to withstand refinement; if needed, he could reduce it to ash with a single thought.

But refining an elixir is not fighting a battle.

Refining an elixir requires harmonizing medicinal properties, blending various energies—it is not about destructive power.

Thus, the process was extremely demanding.

Moreover, this was his first time refining a Nine-Turn Elixir—he could not afford to be careless.

【You refined the Nine-Turn Divine Elixir, and your understanding of Elixir Dao increased.】

【You refined the Nine-Turn Divine Elixir, and your understanding of Creation Dao increased.】

While refining the elixir, Zhang Taixuan opened the chat group and withdrew the gains from this period.

【Ding, the World of Learning Impossible has gifted you a sliver of world primordial essence. Request to open a transcendence portal—approve?】

【Ding, the Zombie World has gifted you one Zombie Law.】

【Ding, the One Piece World has gifted you one Body Law and requests to open a transcendence portal—approve?】

【Ding, this is the Zombie World, granting you one Death Spirit Law.】

Zhang Taixuan directly tossed the sliver of world primordial essence into the Qiankun Cauldron and turned his gaze toward the laws gifted by the other worlds.

At his realm, laws were what mattered most.

World primordial essence, though pure, was now merely a snack to him.

【You comprehended the Body Law of the One Piece World, and your understanding of bodily evolution increased.】

The Body Law of the One Piece World was a hallmark of that world.

In that world, bodies were utterly unscientific, monstrously exaggerated—even ordinary training could enhance them to an unbelievable degree.

Though far inferior to cultivation worlds or xuanhuan worlds,

the Body Law of the One Piece World required no spiritual energy or similar substances.

In short, this world's Body Law was quite fascinating.

【You comprehended the Death Spirit Law, and your understanding of Life and Death Laws increased.】

【You comprehended the Zombie Law, and your understanding of Life and Death Laws increased.】

Zombies and death spirits appear to be the same kind of beings.

But they are not the same.

Zombies are born from the accumulated resentment and filth of heaven, earth, and humanity—ageless, deathless, indestructible—rejected by the Three Realms and cast outside the Six Realms of Beings.

This is a species not governed nor protected by heaven and earth.

They suffer no heavenly punishment for evil deeds, gain no merit for good ones, and their deaths do not increase the karmic burden of their killers.

They appear utterly free, yet their status is profoundly awkward.

Though they live within the world, they possess not a single right granted by heaven and earth; their spiritual powers may be immense, yet their lives are thinner than those of ants.

They are like people in a three-no-man's-land—free and unrestrained, yet with not the slightest guarantee of personal or property safety.

The undead are not like this.

The undead—whether wraiths, skeletons, or undead zombies—all lie beneath the Six Realms and are subject to heaven and earth's dominion.

Though this lineage appears less free, they are normal beings of heaven and earth...

They are protected by the Dao of Heaven and fulfill the duties it assigns them, regulating the yin and yang of heaven and earth.

Should anyone truly seek to exterminate the undead, the Dao of Heaven will make them understand why the flowers are so red.

"Such is the difference in fate," Zhang Taixuan chuckled. "Both are undead beings—one absorbed by the Dao of Heaven, the other wild—yet their destinies differ by a full hundred and eighty degrees."

With a single thought, he comprehended numerous laws and drove them into heaven and earth.

Instantly, dark energies arose from deep within the earth; when certain beings died and their corpses were buried beneath the soil, still uncorrupted, they underwent sudden, inexplicable transformations.

Some became zombies cast beyond the Six Realms; others became zombies and skeletons under the Dao of Heaven.

The emergence of these two kinds of beings signaled the strengthening of the Underworld's laws, making the entire world increasingly complete, its laws more rigorous, and its efficiency in converting chaotic qi even greater.

This is precisely the path of the world's growth.

As for the integration of the flesh law into the Taixuan Realm, the changes were minor.

Though the flesh law of the One Piece world was peculiar, it held little special significance for a great myriad-world—it merely made cultivation easier for ordinary people.

Future-born mortals, even without cultivation techniques, could become powerful merely by hardening their bodies.

This raises the world's baseline.

In this world, 3.3, the starting line for mortals will keep moving forward, widening the gap with ordinary worlds.

This is the advantage of unique laws evolving into the world.

Zhang Taixuan observed the world's evolution as he activated the Primordial Fire, watching as, within the elixir furnace, a crystal-clear, goji-berry-sized pill formed, slowly rotating, its surface igniting nine divine radiances.

After absorbing countless chaotic qi and immortal qi, this Fate Divine Elixir had finally been completed.

Zhang Taixuan gestured, and the elixir flew from his hand, radiating a mysterious Daoic resonance, as if a living being were about to break through the sky and flee.

"Still trying to run?"

With a thought, the Divine Elixir fell into his mouth.
