Chapter 1209: Cosmic Realm Sea, Thirty-Six Layers, Creation Treasure Pagoda, Secrets of Reincarnation

~23 min read 4,416 words

The existence of the Heavenly Realm was sensed as early as when Qian Chen's true qi transformed into magic power.

The most important pass for the true transmission of the Daoist school to refine magic power is to receive a wisp of Three Pure Primordial Qi from the Three Pure Heavens to transform magic power true talismans.

At that time, Qian Chen sensed the Supreme Pure Heaven from afar and received a wisp of innate clear qi from it.

If the Supreme Pure Heaven were truly as the world says, an incomparably distant and high-up domain, how could that wisp of innate Primordial Qi be received so easily?

Now that Qian Chen has achieved the Dao Fruit, he naturally knew early on that that wisp of innate Primordial Qi was not received from the Supreme Pure Heaven, but was formed by sensing the Supreme Pure Heaven.

The Supreme Pure Heaven is both in a high place and not in a high place, both by one's side and not by one's side.

Or rather, it is actually by one's 'side' and in the 'depths.'

"Cosmic Realm Sea, Cosmic Realm Sea, no wonder the cosmic realms and the realm sea have to be separated..."

Qian Chen sighed: "So the cosmic realms and the realm sea are not the same way of existence at all. The realm sea is like the Ganges sand sea, with countless sand grains floating in the sea, just like the small worlds in the realm sea, countless, born and destroyed, among which one or two pearls are medium worlds, and those relatively stable islands above the realm sea are great worlds."

"But the cosmic realms, and even the Earth Immortal Realm, exist in a completely different way from them."

"The Great Dao is the source of everything in this world, like a beam of light hitting down."

"Before Supreme merged with Dao, he stood at the highest point under this beam of light, so he opened the Supreme Pure Heaven. Primordial and Lingbao were listed below him, which are the Jade Pure and Upper Pure Heavens."

"These Three Pure Heavens are incomparably close to the source of Dao, and even above Primordial Qi."

"Below the Three Pure Heavens are the 'Heavenly Realms' opened by many sect masters and Dao Venerables."

"The common point of the Heavenly Realms they opened is that they are one level lower than the Three Pure Heavens. Well! It should be Primordial Qi. They opened their own cosmic realms at the 'Primordial Qi' level where the Great Dao falls."

"There should be thirty-three such Heavenly Realms at this level, collectively known as the Thirty-Three Heavens."

"What about the Primordial Heavenly Realm?"

"The Primordial Heavenly Realm is not included in the Thirty-Three Heavens, but it is indeed at the same level as the Thirty-Three Heavens."

"The Primordial Heavenly Realm should be the source of all Primordial Qi, where the Great Dao completely falls into Primordial Qi, containing a domain of all Primordial Qi in the cosmic realms, so the Primordial Heavenly Realm is called the 'Heavenly Realm,' because that is the source of the concept of 'Heavenly Realm.' Although the Thirty-Three Heavens are higher in position, they only contain a part of Primordial Qi and only pass through a part of the projection of that beam of light of the Great Dao."

"So the Thirty-Three Heavens are wrapped up by, or 'are' the Heavenly Realm!"

"So the Heavenly Realm is incomparably vast and incomparably close to the cosmic realms, because as long as one senses Primordial Qi, senses the root, contains the nature of all Primordial Qi, and mixes 120,000 kinds of Primordial Qi into one, it is 'Immortal Qi,' and one reaches the Heavenly Realm!"

"Because the cosmic realms and the Heavenly Realm share the same share of Primordial Qi."

"It's just that the Primordial Qi of the cosmic realms has been differentiated by many Dao Fruits, just like a beam of light of one color is dispersed into many colored lights, forming Red Realms, Yellow Realms, Blue Realms, and Green Realms."

"Primordial Qi also differentiated into 120,000 kinds through the Heavenly Realm, each mixed, turning into the Primordial Qi ocean of the ten thousand worlds, the Void Realm Sea."

"And the Earth Immortal Realm?"

"The Earth Immortal Realm is located below the Heavenly Realm, so why did it become one of the cosmic realms?"

"The Earth Immortal Realm is likely the domain where the Great Dao falls from Primordial Qi to matter. It is half a level higher than the ten thousand worlds. After the Great Dao is differentiated into 120,000 kinds of Primordial Qi through the Heavenly Realm, in the Earth Immortal Realm, these Primordial Qi fall into the material realm again, and finally, through the Earth Immortal Realm, they are reflected on the realm sea, forming countless worlds."

"From this aspect, the ten thousand worlds can all be said to be reflections of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

"Formless and qualitative Primordial Qi, through the Earth Immortal Realm, falls into qualitative and qualitative matter, which makes the countless Primordial Qi in the realm sea naturally gather and open up into material worlds."

"The worlds opened by Dao Lords are special in the realm sea because they contain the origin closer to the Great Dao. Therefore, the Dao methods and supernatural powers of the Earth Immortal Realm are naturally suitable for the ten thousand worlds, because the ten thousand worlds are reflections of the Earth Immortal Realm."

"In this way, the water in the Earth Immortal Realm is likely very deep!"

Qian Chen realized: "Because the worlds in the Void Realm Sea are all opened by imitating the Earth Immortal Realm, the material changes of the Earth Immortal Realm will inevitably be projected onto the realm sea, giving birth to worlds with corresponding changes."

"That is to say, the richer the material form and domain characteristics of the Earth Immortal Realm, the richer the ecology and the more types of worlds in the realm sea."

"This is naturally of great benefit to the evolution of the Great Dao, so the Earth Immortal Realm must have opened countless types of domains, evolving all material forms. It's just that because the human race occupies the mainstream in the cosmic realms, the Earth Immortal Realm must also take the Nine Provinces most suitable for human survival as the mainstream, so that most worlds in the realm sea are suitable for human survival."

"So those colorful domains have all been hidden!"

"No wonder Taiyi said the Earth Immortal Realm is a scroll that has been rolled up, with too many things hidden underneath."

"No wonder the ten thousand worlds respect the Earth Immortal Realm, and all kinds of cat and dog races want to participate. Only by occupying the Earth Immortal Realm can the ten thousand worlds give birth to worlds suitable for their own races."

"These overlapping cosmic realms, the higher they go, the more they can encompass the Great Dao."

"The Supreme Pure Heaven likely exhausts the changes of the Great Dao and is at the very top of the cosmic realms, so everything in this world is in the Supreme Pure Heaven. The Jade Pure Heaven is slightly inferior, but at least there are places with Divine Dao and order, all in the Jade Pure Heaven. The Upper Pure Heaven is inferior, well! I haven't sensed the scope of the Three Pure Heavens."

"And below the Three Pure Heavens, even this all-encompassing characteristic is gone."

"The Pure Land Heaven and Sumeru Heaven, these two Buddhist heavens should encompass a very wide range. I guess their encompassing might be 'having awareness,' or 'aware of emotion,' that part, everything that sentient beings 'perceive' gives birth to 'knowledge,' 'knowledge' gives birth to 'sensing'."

"So all domains that can be felt by the senses are the coverage of the Pure Land Heaven and Sumeru Heaven."

"It is precisely the truth that 'consciousness' gives birth to 'realm'; 'realm' gives birth to 'dust'!"

"It is also the truth of the twenty-eight heavens, desire realm, form realm, and formless realm spoken by Buddhism. The thirty-three heavens spoken by Daoism are either truly thirty-three, or thirty-six heavenly realms. And the twenty-eight heavens spoken by Buddhism refer to the twenty-eight levels from the Pure Land Heaven and Sumeru Heaven to the material realm and the ten thousand worlds."

"And the Heavenly Realms opened by other Dao Venerables don't need to be that vast."

"Except for the Dao Ancestors who need to open worlds large enough to encompass and operate their own merits, other Dao Venerables only need to open a small part of the Heavenly Realm, enough to entrust their own cut-off merits."

"Such as Nanhua only needs to open the Great Dream Heaven, and he can leave all his traces in it, no longer restricted by the Great Dao."

"That Great Dream Heaven only needs to encompass all dreams and fantasy activities!"

"Huh? This heaven seems very suitable for my Truth and Illusion Dao Fruit!"

Qian Chen pulled back his somewhat divergent thinking and began to think about what impact the true shape map of the cosmic realms he had vaguely constructed would have on his subsequent plans.

The true shape map of the cosmic realms he conceived was a thirty-six-layer pagoda.

The Three Pure Heavens were on the top three layers, a treasure pearl symbolizing the Great Dao hung high at the top of the pagoda, and then the light of the treasure pearl shone through the top three layers, opening a layer of vague, heavenly Dao-like pagoda body.

Each layer of the pagoda body suppressed a divine talisman.

It was the Supreme Pure One Qi Divine Talisman, Jade Pure Primordial True Record, and Upper Pure Cave Profound Wonderful Decree!

Among them, Supreme Pure was like the operation of the Heavenly Dao, the Great Dao was non-action, and all traces of the Great Dao operated naturally; while Jade Pure was orderly, like the foundation of all gods in the cosmic realms, pushing heaven and earth, with strict laws; Upper Pure Heaven evolved the Dao and God into law, placing the Dao of non-action and the God of action on specific traces and laws.

Qian Chen looked at the triple pagoda and said: "Dao, Teaching, Law!"

"Is this where the three Dao Ancestors reside?"

"Sure enough, it is the highest layer of the Thirty-Three Heavens, still above Primordial Qi."

Below the pagoda were thirty-three pagoda bodies, two of which emitted Buddhist light at the very top and the very bottom.

"The Buddhist Dharma is also extraordinary! The Pure Land Heaven has twenty-eight levels of domains, and the Sumeru Heaven is at the level of the Nine Heavens, which is also... a Heavenly Realm that can only be opened by Dao Ancestor-level existences!"

There was another pagoda body that emitted the aura of the Great Wilderness, which was the summary of all traces of life.

"Mountain and Sea Heaven!"

Qian Chen's gaze fell on this heaven: "This should be the heaven opened by Ancestral Dragon, which is the place where the traces of all life types and individuals are imprinted, and even vaguely transcends life, containing the environment needed for life."

"Life cannot be separated from the environment. The object and I are one body. This heaven is very mysterious!"

"Vaguely still above the Blood Sea of the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor..."

"It's a pity that Ancestral Dragon has never revived. After the Goddess replaced Ancestral Dragon to open this heaven, she did not replace it to operate it, and was held by the projections of the bloodlines of the ten thousand races in the cosmic realms here. The many demon race Great Sages who revived from this were anchored too deeply with the bloodlines in the material realm and were pulled down many levels!"

There was another pagoda body that was the gathering of the thoughts of all living beings, and all ideas that had ever existed would leave traces in this heaven.

Therefore, the position of this heaven was also extremely high, only below the Pure Land Heaven.

"Great Freedom Heaven!"

"It has been deeply infiltrated by Buddhism, and many Demonic Path Dao Lords have actually entrusted their Dao Fruits here. I thought the Demonic Path all put their Dao Fruits in the Nine Heavens!"

The remaining many pagoda bodies, although also shrouded in extremely mysterious light.

But limited by Qian Chen's cognition, they were all vague and hazy.

After all, these Heavenly Realms are not like the three religions of Dao, Buddha, and Demon, which will spread their own philosophies and orthodoxies to make the masses aware.

The philosophies of many Dao Venerables only circulate within the orthodoxy.

So the Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda created by Qian Chen could not reveal much clearly.

Only...

"Mysterious Female Heaven, Wenshi! You receive but don't teach. If I hadn't cultivated the Mysterious Female Gate, the root of heaven and earth, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to sense this heaven... No, the Mysterious Female Heaven might just be what I perceive. I'm afraid I have to cultivate the Gate of All Wonders to see this heaven clearly."

"This heaven might not be below the Pure Land Heaven, it's just that the domain is very small and cannot be compared with Buddhism."

"Azure Flower Heaven!"

"Xuan Du Heaven!"

"Great Dream Heaven, or rather, Illusion Dream Heaven!"

These Thirty-Three Heavenly Realms each have a talisman to suppress them, but some divine talismans are clear, such as the Buddhist two heavens, Great Freedom Heaven, and Five Directions Five Elements Heaven.

Some are vague, such as Xuan Du Heaven, Azure Flower Heaven, Mountain and Sea Heaven, Illusion Dream Heaven, Star Heaven, and Jade Emperor Heaven; some are just a group of light and shadow, and Qian Chen cannot even name them.

But this Thirty-Three Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda is gathered from endless Primordial Qi, and it has nine edges and eight corners, each hanging immortal light.

The pagoda body emits infinite immortal light Primordial Qi, which is cast by Primordial Chaos. The Thirty-Three pagoda bodies are the prototype of the Primordial Heavenly Realm!

Eight corners plus the center is the nine-party domain of the Primordial Heavenly Realm, representing the nine heavens such as Jun Heaven.

Finally, it is the base of the Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda. This base is mixed, which is a group of mysterious yellow mixed with all matter, representing the Earth Immortal Realm.

And below it is a darkness like a black hole, representing the end of all cosmic realms—Nine Heavens.

"Nine Heavens does not belong to the Heavenly Realm, but it is the place where all destruction and endings gather. It is not the source of creating the cosmic realms, but the end of the ten thousand worlds, so it can also gather all Daos and has the characteristics of the Heavenly Realm."

After Qian Chen figured out the structure of the cosmic realms, he only constructed the prototype of the Thirty-Six Heaven Treasure Pagoda in his sea of consciousness.

It vaguely formed the prototype of a supreme great supernatural power.

And it is not an ordinary supreme great supernatural power, but like the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend great supernatural powers of the Fang-Immortal Dao, gathering thirty-six great supernatural powers and countless paths.

It can guide Primordial Spirits to cultivate the Dao, achieve Dao Lords, and even provide guidance for Dao Lords to go further.

"These thirty-six heaven treasure pagodas, each layer can be called an extreme summary of the orthodoxy of a Dao Venerable or Dao Ancestor. If it can really be achieved, each layer of the pagoda represents a supreme great supernatural power, or can be called the Thirty-Six Heaven Supreme Great Supernatural Powers!"

"Every brick and tile in it is a great supernatural power! Fusing them together is even closer to Dao!"

"Flipping the hand to strike down is like the suppression of the Thirty-Six Heavens together. This is the terrifying power of the cosmic realms combined. It is a kind of existence beyond the Dao Lord level."

"But who can be proficient in the orthodoxy of all Dao Venerables in the cosmic realms, and all great powers walking on the path of Dao Venerables?"

"Unlike the great religions of Dao, Buddha, and Demon, the Daos of many Dao Venerables are hidden and not passed down!"

Qian Chen condensed the prototype of the Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda, but didn't take it seriously himself.

It's like saying that if you practice all the cultivation methods in the cosmic realms, you can be invincible in the world, but who can practice all the cultivation methods in the cosmic realms?

And the difficulty of practicing the Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda is even more difficult than practicing all the cultivation methods in the cosmic realms.

Because some "heavens" never passed down corresponding Daos, only some geniuses sensed the Great Dao and vaguely depicted some scenes.

Unless the Dao Venerable who opened this heaven, or the perfect Dao Lord walking on the path of Dao Venerables, preaches the Dao personally, one will never be able to practice the corresponding heaven.

The Thirty-Six Heaven Great Dao is really difficult to perfect.

"This can better reflect the weight of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend great supernatural powers opened by the Fang-Immortal Dao! These thirty-six great supernatural powers and seventy-two paths can be called the gathering of all the laws of the Immortal Path, and only these founders of the Dao can complete it! Then use Turning Creation to swallow everything and achieve the prototype of creation. It is truly... terrifying and awe-inspiring! With my supreme talent, I have not yet cultivated Turning Creation to Great Completion, which is a glimpse!"

"These thirty-six heaven supreme supernatural powers are one step further than Turning Creation, and are supreme great supernatural powers that can only be entered after Turning Creation is Great Completion!"

"It is estimated that until the end of this world, it is impossible for anyone to practice it!"

Qian Chen only constructed this pagoda based on the various secrets passed down by Taiyi and Lü Buwei's implicit guidance.

But this supernatural power was not created by him, but was created by the Dao Venerables and Dao Ancestors of the cosmic realms working together when they opened their own Heavenly Realms. As long as someone can vaguely construct a model of the cosmic realms, they can sense it.

It can be called "True Shape Map of the Cosmic Realms."

And the Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda that Qian Chen obtained can only be said to be one in ten thousand. If it weren't for the prototype of the Three Pure Heavens and the Great Dao Treasure Pearl at the very top, even this one in ten thousand would be difficult to obtain.

At least his Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda has the cosmic realms, but no ten thousand worlds.

It can only turn the existence of the ten thousand worlds into a vast sea, falling outside the pagoda. To truly achieve the prototype of this supreme great supernatural power, at least the ten thousand worlds must be integrated.

But Qian Chen's cognition of the Void Realm Sea and the ten thousand worlds? It can only be said to be just like that!

"In this way, it is not that the Earth Immortal Realm does not have a 'Small Heavenly Realm,' on the contrary, its Small Heavenly Realm was opened very early, but it does not belong to the Earth Immortal Realm alone."

Qian Chen looked at his Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda and thought: "The ancient Three Days, Heavenly Realm, Great Wilderness, Nine Heavens, respectively represent Primordial Qi, matter, and the end. Later, Supreme opened the New Heaven, and then there was the structure of the Thirty-Six Heavens of the Heavenly Realm, the Nine Great Domains, the Earth Immortal Realm and the Void Realm Sea, and the Nine Heavens."

"The Earth Immortal Realm can open a Small Heavenly Realm because it is the foundation of the material realm itself."

"So as long as it is lifted slightly, it can stand above matter and open up a domain close to the Heavenly Realm."

"These domains are the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Realm today, which is to say that most of the Nine Heavens were lifted by the Earth Immortal Realm. So, they are most afraid of the Earth Immortal Realm opening a Small Heavenly Realm again. Because if it can lift, it can pull down!"

"And the Great Dao falls from the Primordial Qi realm of the Heavenly Realm to the material realm of the Earth Immortal Realm. Only a small part falls on the Earth Immortal Realm, which is the material foundation of the ten thousand worlds."

"And most of the Primordial Qi that cannot fall on matter forms the Void Realm Sea!"

"Then what about the Reincarnation Heaven?"

"The Reincarnation Heaven is not in the Thirty-Six Heavens, nor in the Nine Heavens. It is... a heaven that surrounds the Earth Immortal Realm and is partially higher than the Earth Immortal Realm!" Qian Chen's various insights into entering the Reincarnation Heaven surged into his heart.

The Samsara Realm contains a portion of the Earth Immortal Realm's projection of the light of time; this is the shadow cast by the Earth Immortal Realm upon the long river of time.

It also contains a part of the worlds opened by Dao Lords. These worlds entrust the Dao Fruits of Dao Lords and are formed from the projections of the Earth Immortal Realm, but are higher than the projections of the Earth Immortal Realm.

So...

"The Reincarnation Heaven is a large-sized Realm Sea Great Wall!"

"After constructing the model of the cosmic realms, I roughly understand what the Realm Sea Great Wall is! The environment suitable for human survival in the Earth Immortal Realm is the Nine Provinces, Eight Wildernesses, and Four Seas. Besides the environment suitable for human survival, for the diversity of the cosmic realms, there must be other material domains. But this inevitably leads to the growth of alien races, threatening the survival of the human race."

"So Immortal Qin built the Realm Sea Great Wall in the Earth Immortal Realm, blocking worlds unsuitable for the human race outside."

"In this way, when the material environment of the Earth Immortal Realm is projected to the ten thousand worlds, there is a wall between the human world and the non-human world. Once an alien race crosses this wall and invades the human world, it will be projected onto the Realm Sea Great Wall. Thus, the human Dao Lords and Primordial Spirits guarding the Great Wall can go to resist!"

"The Realm Sea Great Wall is the barrier surrounding the Nine Provinces of the Earth Immortal Realm, and it is also a 'ring' in the Void Realm Sea!"

Understanding the essence of the Realm Sea Great Wall, Qian Chen felt a shock in his heart.

In the process of Immortal Qin's expansion, although it set off boundless slaughter and war, its later corruption and degeneration need not be avoided, and internally the First Emperor could also be called a tyrant, but just this merit of the Realm Sea Great Wall is enough to be called the world!"

Immortal Qin although had faults, but it had great merit to the Immortal Path and the human race.

The Realm Sea Great Wall isolates material worlds unsuitable for the human race, and the Reincarnation Heaven is a larger Realm Sea Great Wall.

Knowing that the Heavenly Realm Primordial Qi fell outside the Earth Immortal Realm to form the Void Realm Sea, Qian Chen naturally thought, are there 'existences' in the realm sea that do not rely on matter?

There must be!

Living beings that only rely on Primordial Qi.

But the Primordial Qi Realm Sea seems to have never invaded the ten thousand worlds?

And besides Primordial Qi?

The Great Dao light falls, the Heavenly Realm Primordial Qi, only a small part falls on the Earth Immortal Realm. Similarly, the Great Dao light only falls on the Heavenly Realm for a small part.

Will existences outside Primordial Qi invade the Heavenly Realm and the Earth Immortal Realm, and even the ten thousand worlds?

Time life, anti-entropy life, Dao-reversal life, void life...

Even 'existences' that cannot be called life.

Now it seems that these invasions and these threats to the cosmic realms have all been blocked outside by the Reincarnation Heaven.

The Reincarnation Heaven wraps up those Dao-like lives, non-Primordial Qi existences, and paths not in the cosmic Dao Fruits, and is suppressed and watched by the Lingbao Gang holding Innate Dao Fruits.

"So, the Reincarnation Heaven is the pagoda body, the pagoda body cast by forty-nine perfect Innate Great Daos and countless Acquired Dao Fruits."

Qian Chen integrated the Reincarnation Heaven into the Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda, and the pagoda immediately solidified and had a solid foundation.

"Forty-nine Innate Great Daos woven into nets, membranes, and walls block those indescribable existences outside the cosmic realms. Only the Nine Heavens, where everything falls, is not under the protection of the Reincarnation Heaven. After all, that is the place where everything is gathered and everything is destroyed."

"No wonder the Nine Heavens have so many strange existences, and the Demonic Path has so many..."

"Huh! In this way, the Demonic Path is the boundary of the expansion of the cosmic realms, and it is also the only way to integrate those existences outside the cosmic Dao into the cosmic realms. Is this the meaning of the Demonic Path's existence?"

"Expanding the boundary of the cognition of many great powers in the cosmic realms, no wonder many Daoist great powers have to hide their names and mix in a Demonic Path vest."

Qian Chen condensed the prototype of the Thirty-Six Heaven Creation Treasure Pagoda in his heart, and the Heavenly Principle Dao Fruit immediately had a response.

Seeing that the palace-like halls shook slightly, Lü Buwei's gaze cast over at this moment, and seeing Qian Chen, he nodded and smiled: "It seems that after my words, fellow Daoist has gained a lot!"

"I hope fellow Daoist can use this gain to suppress the Long Huang."

Qian Chen only smiled bitterly: "This kind of gain is enough to suppress any Dao Lord, but for an existence of the Long Huang's level, I don't know how much effect it can have." ===== CHAPTER 1210 =====
