Chapter 283: On the road of evolution, only one person can move forward (Seeking monthly votes!)

In fact, long ago, Wu Xian had some ideas about the path after breaking through the Cave Heaven Realm.

In the original work, the Huang Heavenly Emperor Shi Hao had re-cultivated the Cave Heaven Realm many times, from initially opening ten cave heavens, to merging them into one, forming a unique cave heaven, and in the end, it was suspected to have turned into the most basic Wheel Sea Secret Realm in the Shrouding the Heavens system.

And these were all pointing out that the true mystery of the Cave Heaven Realm was not in drawing power from the outside world, but in using the body as a seed, developing the human body's treasures, so that practitioners didn't need to borrow external forces, but could break through the shackles by themselves and achieve the Great Dao.

Wu Xian praised this very much, because he was the same, doing everything by his own efforts, step by step, never borrowing from others, which was why he had such powerful strength today.

What! You say the mysterious space is a cheat, and becoming stronger depends entirely on sharing?

Non-existent. You just say whether those who share power are called Wu Xian!

*Cough cough! * In short, after having this successful case of Shi Hao, Wu Xian wondered, since they all had to merge the cave heavens into one in the end, why didn't he just skip the process of merging and focus on perfecting the unique cave heaven?

At the same time, plus the Inner Universe concept of the Infinite World, using runes as a foundation, shaping the cave heaven space into a complete universe, until it kept growing in the future, even reaching the level of having multiple dimensions inside—this was much more fragrant than a mere channel communicating with void energy.

Thinking this, Wu Xian naturally took action immediately.

Good news: He succeeded.

Bad news: Not completely successful yet.

The intent of the Inner Universe Cave Heaven was too high. For him now, it was quite far away. Most importantly, the Five-Elements Eight-Trigrams he laid down hadn't been completed. Currently, only the "Zhen" rune had a prototype, and various laws were seriously missing, which made the scene inside the cave heaven universe so dilapidated, as if it would collapse at any time.

Such an inner universe was too fragile, let alone a prototype, it didn't even count as a placenta.

Facing cultivators of the same realm, or even a few realms higher, perhaps he could easily crush them by volume.

But once he encountered Divine Flame Realm and above, cultivators who had begun to master laws, the cave heaven universe would become exceptionally fragile. It wasn't a tofu-dregs project, at least it was like a bubble that would break at a poke.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't big. First, with Wu Xian's foundation, even if he didn't release the cave heaven to defend against the enemy, it wouldn't affect his combat power much for now.

Second, as time passed, the runes he analyzed through the Original True Explanation would definitely become more perfect. As long as he laid down the Five-Elements Eight-Trigrams of this world, the inner universe would be completely stabilized and become the prototype of a real universe.

By then, his combat power would definitely advance by leaps and bounds. Even without continuing to share the power of himself from other worlds, he would at least be a First-Stage Saint-level combat power. Converted to the volume of the Perfect World, he wouldn't be too far from the Human Dao Supreme.

*Buzz buzz buzz—*

The camera returns to reality. Wu Xian's first reaction was that his whole body was incredibly stiff, and he couldn't help but stretch, his whole body making a thunderous sound.

A moment later, he found something wrong. It was too quiet around. He scanned a circle and found that the people of Shi Village were no longer near the altar, only Shi Hao was sitting not far away, breathing and cultivating the spiritual energy in the gathering spirit array.

【You're awake.】

Willow God's voice came from behind. Wu Xian was stunned for a moment, turned to look at it, and asked doubtfully: "Uh... Willow God, did I break through for a long time?"

【It's okay, about a month or so.】

The green branches swayed slightly. Clearly, for a long-lived species like it, retreats were in units of years, and a month was indeed not long.

Wu Xian scratched his head, not knowing what to say, just looked up. He saw a huge light circle floating above his head, at least a hundred meters in area, flickering, projecting a blurred image of the universe, looking very magical.

This was his Inner Universe Cave Heaven. Unlike ordinary cave heavens, whether it was size or shape, it had a huge difference. It couldn't see half a trace of a volcanic rock cave, more like a pure void channel or mirror projection.

【Can you tell me how you opened such a cave heaven?】

At this time, Willow God transmitted again, its curiosity undisguised.

In fact, according to the original plan, Willow God should have fallen into a deep sleep and gone into retreat, but Wu Xian's Cave Heaven Realm was too outrageous. Whether it was the Immortal Ancient Law or the Chaotic Ancient Law, there was no record of anything similar, making it want to explore.

Intuition told it that this was a path with infinite possibilities. If it could figure it out, it would be of great help to its future path to enlightenment.

"Of course!"

Wu Xian smiled, not meaning to hide it, and told Willow God about the Wheel Sea Secret Realm of the Shrouding the Heavens system and Wu Xian's Inner Universe concept, just hiding the part about laying down the Five-Elements Eight-Trigrams.

But this had little effect on Willow God. Reaching its level, what was more important was inspiration and enlightenment. Telling it too detailedly would instead produce an obstacle similar to a knowledge barrier for its path.

【Unique Cave Heaven, using the body as a seed, becoming a universe by itself... is this the path you want to take?】

Willow God fell into thought after hearing Wu Xian's description of the Inner Universe Cave Heaven. For a moment, it was even tempted to see if it should re-cultivate according to this method.

But soon, Willow God gave up this idea.

This was Wu Xian's Dao, not its. Even if it re-cultivated, it would just be picking up someone else's wisdom, and it wouldn't be much different from the current situation, unless it could surpass Wu Xian later and go further than him on this path.

But intuition told Willow God that this was unlikely. It wasn't that it was inferior to Wu Xian, but that Wu Xian was too evil and still hid huge secrets.

In addition, once it really did this, it would inevitably become a life-and-death enemy with Wu Xian.

Irrelevant to hatred, this was blocking the Dao.

Only one person can move forward on a path of evolution. The forerunner achieves the Dao, while the loser falls into reincarnation forever... This was not a scene Willow God wanted to see.

Thinking this, Willow God suddenly had an epiphany, and the green branches swayed again, scattering divine brilliance. The originally mottled scorched lightning-struck wood began to shed dead skin, and the protrusions at the top became more obvious, with greenness born, and at the same time, many more protrusions appeared, its aura becoming more profound.

"Willow God..."

Shi Hao, who was cultivating not far away, seemed to have discovered the abnormality, looked up at Willow God, his expression slightly trance-like.

【I am going into retreat. Shi Hao, I have handed the method of going to the Void God Realm to Wu Xian. After your cultivation is consolidated, you can let him take you there.】

【Wu Xian, thank you again this time. I have more ideas about the future path, and after this retreat ends, the injury will recover faster than expected. This is a favor, and I will definitely repay it later.】

Hearing these words, Wu Xian smiled slightly, but didn't ask for benefits like a few days ago, then bowed seriously: "Willow God is too polite. I wish you an early recovery and go further in the future."

【I accept your auspicious words.】

Willow God's voice carried a smile.

Just like that, from this day on, the lightning-struck wood of Willow God's body became dim, and that green branch no longer shone at night, falling into a deep sleep of unknown duration.
