Chapter 66: Breaking and then establishing? My creation returns to one!
The three vast intentions collided fiercely in his sea of consciousness, as if three ancient great beings were discussing the Dao using his heart and mind as a battlefield!
The righteous aura was as brilliant as the sun, wanting to cleanse all evil, demanding absolute "righteousness."
The killing will was domineering and cold, wanting to cut off all obstacles, pursuing the ultimate "self."
The Chaos Dao rhyme was inclusive and circulating, impartial, evolving the birth and death of all things, expounding the supreme truth of "existence" and "change."
Choosing any side seemed to immediately obtain powerful strength or opportunity, but it also meant bearing the karma and constraints behind it.
Lin Xuan's consciousness was like a lonely boat in a raging sea, at any time likely to be swallowed by any intention. Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and his face turned slightly pale. This was a test more dangerous than any supernatural confrontation, concerning the root of the Dao heart!
However, under this extreme pressure, the Chaos Soul Formation in his dantian bloomed with unprecedented light! On the small infant's face, a kind of indifference and wisdom beyond its age appeared, and its hands slowly moved, outlining the trajectory of chaos.
The general outline of the "Nine Turns Chaos Scripture" flowed in his heart: "Chaos is born from the Wuji, the mother of heaven and earth, the ancestor of all things, not serving things, not staying in form..."
Not serving things, not staying in form!
A realization like lightning flashed through Lin Xuan's heart!
Why choose? Why abandon?
Righteous aura is one side of order, killing will is one side of destruction; they are originally part of this chaotic universe! Forcibly splitting them, choosing one or the other, isn't that exactly falling into the lower grade, violating the true meaning of chaos's inclusiveness and evolution?
The test of this altar, seemingly a choice of one out of three, its essence, perhaps, is not to let you choose one to follow, but... to let you understand your own "Dao," whether you can drive and integrate these different forces!
His Dao is the Chaos Dao! It is inclusiveness, evolution, and transcendence!
"My Dao is the Chaos Dao! I do not take one law, I do not abandon one law! All laws are used by me, all Daos enter my snare!"
Lin Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, chaotic energy spinning frantically in his pupils, as if two miniature universes were being born and perishing! He no longer resisted the impact of the three intentions, but instead actively opened his body and mind, using the Chaos Soul Formation as the core, like an invisible vortex, beginning to frantically swallow and accommodate the three completely different intentions!
Boom—!!!
A sound like heaven and earth opening exploded in his sea of consciousness!
The righteous aura was swallowed, turning into sweet dew nourishing the soul, making his Dao heart more transparent and firm!
The killing will was absorbed, sharpening his mental edge, but unable to erode his original heart, instead being assimilated by chaos, becoming a resolute force to protect himself and cut off obstacles on the path ahead!
That neutral Chaos Dao rhyme, even more like returning to the mother's womb, perfectly integrated into his Chaos Soul Formation, making it increasingly solid and complete!
The three intentions did not destroy each other, but achieved a mysterious balance and coexistence under the governance of chaos! Just like Yin and Yang rotating, life and death depending on each other, together forming a complete world!
At this moment, Lin Xuan's Dao heart experienced an unprecedented baptism and sublimation! His Chaos Dao was no longer just a characteristic of the cultivation technique, but truly began to integrate into his will, becoming the fundamental philosophy on his cultivation path!
Crack!
The invisible barrier around the altar, at the moment he realized his Dao heart and accommodated all laws, shattered inch by inch like glass, dissipating into nothingness!
With the barrier broken, the three treasures were presented before him without obstruction.
However, Lin Xuan did not immediately go to take the Soul-Condensing Creation Dew close at hand. His gaze first fell on the golden scroll and the pitch-black broken blade.
He reached out, not touching them, but wrapping them with chaotic spiritual power, sensing them carefully.
The golden scroll contained a righteous law code called "Righteous Heaven Gang," pointing directly to the Heavenly Immortal Dao, but required making a heart-demon oath to suppress evil spirits forever. The pitch-black broken blade sealed a supreme killing move called "Slaughtering God Slash," with unparalleled power, but it was extremely easy to backfire on the mind and fall into the killing path.
Both were heaven-shaking opportunities, but both carried shackles of power.
Lin Xuan shook his head. He had realized his own Dao and did not need to seek these methods with strong tendencies and constraints from outside. His path should be walked step by step by himself, using chaos as the foundation, integrating all laws, and creating a Dao that belonged to him!
With a thought, the system space opened, and he directly put these two items away. He wouldn't practice them, but he could use them for reference, or... trade them with others who needed them in the future.
Finally, his gaze fell on the Soul-Condensing Creation Dew emitting tempting rosy light.
This item was no longer a necessity for him. His Chaos Soul Formation had experienced a Dao heart baptism in this place and absorbed innate Dao rhyme, already becoming perfectly stable, even better than the effect he had expected to achieve with the Creation Dew. But such a heaven and earth wonder had an immeasurable value, and even if he didn't use it, there was absolutely no reason to let it go.
He took out a top-grade jade bottle he had prepared long ago and carefully introduced the emerald dewdrop that seemed to have life into the bottle, sealing it.
Just as he collected the Creation Dew—
The entire lonely peak, no, the entire space of the Ten Thousand Laws Source Pool, began to shake violently! The water surface under his feet boiled, and the chaotic light curtain above twisted!
A vast will descended, carrying a hint of surprise, a hint of appreciation, and more of a kind of relief, enveloping Lin Xuan.
"Latecomer... your Dao heart has already received my recognition... Chaos... hope..."
A fragmented, blurry intention was transmitted into Lin Xuan's sea of consciousness, seemingly coming from the Ten Thousand Laws Source Pool itself, or rather, the remnant will of the ancient great being who created this place.
The next moment, without waiting for Lin Xuan to think carefully, a powerful repulsive force came from all directions! The jade bottle in his hand (containing the Creation Dew) and the Huangfu Tianji Guide token in his bosom lit up simultaneously, forming a protective shield that enveloped him.
Swish!
His figure disappeared from the peak of the lonely mountain.
At the entrance of the Ten Thousand Laws Source Pool, on that endless water surface.
Streams of spiritual light lit up one after another, and the cultivators who had entered various channels were transmitted out one after another. However, compared to their high spirits when they went in, most of them were now pale, their auras withered, and even carrying injuries, their eyes filled with lingering fear and unwillingness. Clearly, their tests had not been successful.
Ye Chen's figure appeared, his clothes somewhat damaged, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still as sharp as thunder, and the thunder intent around his body seemed purer. He held nothing in his hand, clearly not having obtained the Creation Dew, but being able to persist to the end in the thunder channel and be "invited" out was enough to prove his strength.
The Third Prince Li Daoyi, Saintess Yun Yao, the white-clothed youth carrying an ancient sword, the woman in seven-colored rosy clothes, the chubby cultivator, and others appeared one after another, all returning empty-handed, their expressions solemn. The test of the Ten Thousand Laws Source Pool was far more difficult than they had imagined.
Just then, above the water surface, space twisted, and the figure of Lin Xuan (Jin Shisan) slowly emerged.
His aura was stable, his face ruddy, and he even seemed deeper and more unfathomable than when he went in. Most importantly, the jade bottle he held in his hand, emitting seven-colored rosy light, instantly attracted everyone's gaze!
"Soul-Condensing Creation Dew!"
"It's in his hands!"
"He actually succeeded?!"
Exclamations, gasps, and unbelievable discussions exploded instantly! Countless burning, greedy, and jealous gazes shot toward Lin Xuan like arrows!
Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and he looked at Lin Xuan deeply. The Third Prince Li Daoyi's expression was gloomy. Saintess Yun Yao's eyes under her veil flashed with a strange light. The other geniuses also had different expressions.
No one expected that this drop of Soul-Condensing Creation Dew, which had attracted the scramble of heroes, would eventually fall into the hands of this "Jin Shisan," who had been unknown before and only caused a big commotion during his tribulation!
Lin Xuan accepted everyone's gaze calmly and put the jade bottle away indifferently. His gaze swept over the audience calmly, especially lingering for a moment on key objects of attention like Ye Chen and the Third Prince.
He knew that the real trouble had just begun.
The Huangfu Tianji Guide token in his bosom transmitted a burning sensation again, pointing to the direction of the Heavenly Mandate Hall.
And he could also feel that several obscure yet powerful killing intents had already quietly locked onto him like poisonous snakes.
