Chapter 1287
Mastering the Infinite Law, Han Wuxian's cognition of himself and the world has reached an unprecedented dimension. He stands on Wanji Mountain Peak, his gaze drooping, not immediately cast toward the boundless starry sky, but as if piercing through layers of emptiness, landing on that expanse which once erupted in conflict and has now gradually calmed—the deep abyss of western extreme demonic thought.
In the past, he entered the demonic abyss seeking the 'same-source power', purifying the 'Dao Corrosion crystals' left by Yan Buji, and moreover glimpsed the strange runes below that connect to Xu Jie. At that time, he sensed that Yan Buji's 'Desire Dao' and Xu Jie's Devouring indeed shared a common point, both stemming from a distorted, ever‑unsatisfied lack and greed.
But back then, he merely used his own 'Gui Xu' resonance to purify and calm it. Now, possessing the Wan Hua Gui Xu Body and mastering the Infinite Law, he again looks back to examine that 'Desire Dao', and his feeling is utterly different.
'"Desire … is also one of the myriad Dao, the driving force behind the evolution of all beings and even the world. Extreme desire can burn the heavens and boil the seas, yet it can also…… return to Silence." Han Wuxian's thought stirred slightly; his form had already vanished from Wanji Mountain Peak, and in the next instant he silently appeared at the deepest part of the western extreme demonic abyss, upon the black mirror‑like stone where he had once discovered the strange runes.'
The demonic abyss, having been deprived of the purified crystals last time and further subjected to the intangible influence of the Infinite Law's resonance, is now much calmer; the surging demonic qi has grown thin, and the turbulent demonic thoughts have subsided. Only the ancient rune on the stone still emits an obscure yet pure Xu Jie aura, and…… a trace extremely faint yet extraordinarily tenacious, belonging to Yan Buji's 'Desire' imprint.
This imprint is not Yan Buji's lingering will, but a profound trace left by his Dao within this realm's laws—a manifestation node of the 'Desire Dao' in this world.
Han Wuxian did not look at the Xu Jie rune, but instead focused his attention entirely on that thread of 'Desire imprint'.
From Han Wuxian's perspective of mastering Infinity, this thread of imprint is no longer merely a symbol of chaos and greed. It presents an extremely complex structure, woven from countless fine threads of law representing primal thoughts such as 'yearning', 'possession', 'conquest', 'sense of existence', etc.; they constantly twist and writhe, attempting to devour everything around to fill their own emptiness, yet because they can never be filled, they fall into eternal agitation.
This is a misguided path that attempts to prove 'infinite existence' through 'infinite possession'. Yet in itself, as the ultimate manifestation of the powerful driving force of Desire, its contained law structure and its way of prying open the world's primordial energy are themselves a kind of Great Dao—a bold stroke in the tapestry of myriad phenomena.
"Wan Hua Gui Xu embraces all Dao. Infinite Law encompasses all possibilities."
Han Wuxian calmly murmured, 'Your desire, your 'self-desire', is also one kind within this Infinite Possibility. Today, let this misguided path of yours witness what true…… Infinite Destination is.'
He employed no divine abilities, merely standing still there; the formless yet substance‑less power of the Infinite Law that contains all possibilities, like a calm water surface, naturally spread outward, enveloping that thread of Desire imprint.
Initially, the imprint trembled violently, as if sensing an unprecedented threat; the greed and possession thoughts it contained erupted madly, transforming into countless twisted talons and ferocious faces, attempting to resist and even turn to erode Han Wuxian's power. It wailed and roared, releasing a desire storm capable of instantly causing a Void‑Refining cultivator to plummet.
Yet all this violent impact, upon contacting the power of the Infinite Law, vanished like a mud‑bull entering the sea, leaving no trace. It was not destroyed, but was embraced, understood, and…… dissolved by Infinity.
From Infinity's perspective, this violent desire is merely one combination among countless emotional and thought‑wave patterns. Its operating law, its energy structure, its core driving logic were all instantly laid bare.
Han Wuxian's thought shifted slightly; the power of the Infinite Law, like the most precise scalpel, began to act upon the core of the Desire imprint.
He did not suppress those agitated desire thoughts, but directly touched their most fundamental drive source—the logical core that attempts to prove 'infinite existence' through 'infinite possession'.
"Seeking proof of the infinite with a finite body—this road leads nowhere."
"True Infinity needs no external proof; its very self…… is existence."
"Your desire, your Dao, the 'possibility' of its existence—I have already known. Its distorted form, when corrected, returns to…… the Sea of Infinity."
Accompanying this thought, akin to a proclamation of law, the core logic of the Desire imprint began to collapse and reorganize under the scouring of the Infinite Law's power.
The law threads representing greed and possession were forcibly stripped of their 'outward‑seeking' direction; the intense driving energy they contained was retained, but their form began to shift—from twisted talons into an endless river of energy; from ferocious faces into a bright mirror reflecting the myriad worlds.
Yan Buji's extreme self, devouring‑everything 'Desire Dao' is being fundamentally 'formatted' and 'reprogrammed' by Han Wuxian's Infinite Law!
Stripping away its twisted, plundering shell revealed its most primordial essence—a pure and mighty 'Will‑Power', 'Driving Force'! This power no longer serves a narrow 'self', but becomes a neutral, guide‑able principle source concerning 'change' and 'initiative'.
The whole process was silent and soundless, yet it harbored a tremendous transformation at the level of the Great Dao.
The light of that Desire imprint gradually shifted from a chaotic dark‑red to a pure, glass‑like hue that seemed to contain endless vitality. It no longer emitted temptation or corrosion, but radiated…… an implication of 'Infinite Possibility'.
It became, under the Infinite Law, a purified and elevated manifestation of the concept of 'Desire‑Driven' law.
Han Wuxian extended a finger; that thread of glass‑colored power, representing the pure essence of Will, like a swallow returning to its nest, gently merged into his fingertip, traveled along his meridians, and gathered into the point within him that represents Infinity.
The point quivered slightly, taking in this new strand of power. In an instant, Han Wuxian gained a deeper understanding of the concepts of 'change', 'driving force', 'obsession', 'yearning', etc. He felt his Infinite Law seemed to have become more 'vivid', as if infused with an active inner drive that propels things to continually evolve.
He even faintly sensed that, with a single thought, he could stir the most primal yearning deep within others' hearts and also calm all restless desires. This was not control, but because he had mastered Desire as the essence of law.
Yan Buji, who had roamed freely all his life and relied upon to attain the Dao, ultimately, due to his fallen Desire Dao, was completely absorbed, purified, and elevated by Han Wuxian through a higher‑dimensional Infinite Law, becoming a part of his panorama of myriad Dao.
Henceforth, there is no more Yan Buji's Desire Dao in the world; only the pure essence of Will that returns under the dominion of Han Wuxian's Infinite Law remains.
