Chapter 1285: The Sea Embraces a Hundred Rivers

Having entered the Great Vehicle and attained a Dao Body, Han Wuxian did not immediately set out on a new journey. He knows that the leap in power is not the end; only by fully mastering and harmonizing as one can he meet the unknown challenges that may arise from the heavens and All Realms. He found a secluded stone platform atop Wanji Mountain Peak, sat cross‑legged, and let his mind sink completely into his own vast "Gui Xu Domain".

Inward view reveals the Gui Xu Domain vast and boundless, its central Silence Extinction singularity like a fixed star, governing all directions. The Starry Silence Power transformed into a galaxy, the Silent Power condensed into an ocean, the Xu Jie origin forming an orderly black hole, and the Silence Extinction divine radiance from Ancient God Fall… each force is distinct, yet under the singularity's mediation they sustain a dynamic, grand balance.

However, Han Wuxian keenly sensed that this balance relies heavily on the positional suppression of the Silence Extinction singularity itself—a "forced harmony". The Silence Extinction forces of different attributes have not truly merged; they still retain their essential natures, like sand grains of different colors mixed together—appearing as one, yet still subtly separated.

"It must truly melt in one furnace, turning all Silence into a single Qi, to reveal my 'All Realms Gui Xu' essence," Han Wuxian resolved in his mind and began to try.

He first summoned the most massive and fundamental "Xu Jie origin". This power represents pure Devour and void, the massive foundation of the Gui Xu Domain. With a slight shift of thought, the orderly rotating black hole paused briefly, then turned into a pure dark torrent, surging toward the central Silence Extinction singularity.

Next, the Starry Silence Power obtained from the Star‑Fall Valley, representing the ultimate disintegration of matter, the brilliant cold galaxy seemed summoned, peeled away, turning into countless grains flashing with apocalyptic light, merging into the dark torrent.

Then came the root power of Wanji Mountain's "Silent Eye", where the mirror‑still ocean rippled, raising an invisible Silent Dao rhythm that spread like mist, seeping into the merging torrent.

Finally, the highest‑quality "Ancient God Silence Extinction Divine Radiance" from the Endless Sea Eye acted as a catalyst, bearing a trace of immortal divine Silence Extinction essence, illuminating the fusion core.

The four fundamentally different yet all‑Silence Extinction source forces began an unprecedented collision and blending at the core of the Silence Extinction singularity!

At first came violent repulsion and oscillation. The dark torrent tried to Devour the stellar grains, the Silent Dao rhythm sought to quell all agitation, and the Ancient God radiance arrogantly towered above the three. Waves rose throughout the Gui Xu Domain, even Han Wuxian's freshly solidified Great Vehicle Dao Body trembled slightly, its surface showing faint chaotic ripples.

But Han Wuxian's mind was as iron; with supreme will he commanded the Silence Extinction singularity, forcibly restraining and compressing the four forces, as if he had opened an invisible Creation furnace within his body!

"Hum—!"

The singularity's light flared intensely, its interior seeming to evolve a creation‑like scene. Under extreme pressure and the singularity's mediation, the four forces were forced to break their own form limits, their most primal "Silence Extinction" law extracted, like unwinding silk to strip away the dross.

After an indeterminate time, the violent oscillation gradually subsided.

At the center of the Gui Xu Domain, the Silence Extinction singularity had dramatically changed. It was no longer merely a core emitting harmonious essence; it had become a constantly circulating, ever‑changing chaotic airflow. This flow was neither black nor white, neither light nor dark, yet seemed to contain a microcosm of stellar birth and death, a realm of absolute stillness, the profound depth of Devouring void, and the brilliance of divine fall. It embraced all forms of Silence Extinction, yet transcended any concrete shape.

This is—"Gui Xu Zu Qi Core"!

It is the result of his fusion of all his own Silence Extinction sources, refined into a power uniquely his—Han Wuxian's most primal Silence Extinction force! A single thought can unleash the might of stellar annihilation, manifest the Silent power of law, display the terror of Xu Jie Devour, and even command the Silence of Ancient God Fall! The transformations stem from the mind, and its potency far exceeds any single source.

With the birth of the "Gui Xu Zu Qi Core", Han Wuxian's control over the entire Gui Xu Domain reached a new height. With a slight thought, the ancestral Qi circulated, and the Wanji Mountain's Silence responded like a hand obeying a finger.

However, the moment he fully integrated his own Silence Extinction forces and his mind perfectly aligned with the newborn "Gui Xu Zu Qi Core", a deeper mystery rooted in his life's origin, like a pearl cleared of dust, suddenly manifested!

He sensed that his Great Vehicle Dao Body, reshaped from the "All Realms Gui Xu Foundation", was perhaps more than merely a vessel for carrying Silence Extinction power.

When the "Gui Xu Zu Qi Core" circulated the heavenly circuit within his body, he keenly perceived that every orifice, meridian, even the tiniest particles resonated faintly with the ubiquitous, myriad complex "Dao" and "Principle" of the world.

This resonance was not an active absorption, but a kind of… "inclusion" and "reflection".

He slightly shifted his thought, attempting to send a thread of divine mind into an ordinary stone tablet beside Wanji Mountain. The tablet bore faint Silence Extinction Dao marks left by generations of guardians, which he recognized. Yet at this moment, his perception also "saw" the "Wu Earth Dao" traces inherent in the stone itself, felt the imprint of the "Path of Time" left by ages, and even detected the extremely faint "Life Dao" breath of occasional birds and beasts that had landed upon it…

These great Dao traces, so different from "Silence Extinction", when encountering his divine mind—or rather, when touching the Dao body he had built with the "Gui Xu Zu Qi Core"—were not repelled or erased; instead they seemed to meet an ultimate "home", becoming unusually compliant, even subtly inclined to be naturally recorded and etched by his Dao body!

It was as if his body itself were a blank canvas capable of accommodating all worldly Dao traces… or, perhaps, a cornerstone that could bear every great Dao rule?

A thought thundered in his mind like a flash of lightning.

"My constitution… is not a simple Silence Extinction Dao body… but…"

"…a 'Wan Hua Gui Xu Body' that can accommodate all great Dao traces?!"

Gui Xu is an ending, a home. After all things end, where will the "Dao" they followed and the "traces" they left return to?

At this moment, Han Wuxian realized that his constitution was the ultimate "home of return"! Not only could it contain the Silence Extinction Dao, but also the Dao of vitality, of slaughter, of creation, of space‑time… in theory, all great Dao traces that have existed or flowed in the world could be borne, recorded, and even transformed by his "Wan Hua Gui Xu Body".

This is not plunder but inclusion, bearing—like the sea that embraces a hundred rivers; ultimately the waters, though from different sources, all become part of the sea.

This explains why he could fuse the disparate Silence Extinction forces of Star‑Fall, Silent, Xu Jie, and Ancient God. Fundamentally, they are all a form of "Dao", all within the inclusive scope of the "Wan Hua Gui Xu Body"! He had previously focused on this and failed to perceive the true terror of his own constitution.

"Accommodating all Dao traces… does that mean I can use it to trace, understand, even control the myriad Dao of the world?" Han Wuxian's heart stirred. If so, his future would no longer be a single Silence Extinction, but a myriad of phenomena, a convergence of all Dao!

He tried to focus his attention on the faint "Wu Earth Dao" trace on the tablet. The divine mind brushed it lightly, perceiving and embracing it with the qualities of the "Wan Hua Gui Xu Body".

In an instant, a heavy, all‑bearing, life‑nurturing essence, like a trickling stream, was naturally absorbed and recorded in one of his internal orifices. Though extremely faint and far from granting mastery of the Wu Earth Dao, it was undeniably real! His Dao body successfully accommodated the first non‑Silence Extinction great Dao trace.
