Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

Jiang Xuan's vast and majestic Life Breath surged around him, the powerful Life Law spreading outward like a tide.

The living beings of the Hongmeng Realm were naturally not lacking in cultivators of the Life Path.

Jiang Xuan further manifested the World Tree.

Under the power's shroud, that willow tree suddenly burst forth with a dazzling green radiance, echoing from afar with the World Tree beside Jiang Xuan.

The people of Shi Cun were left speechless; the charred, dry bark on the willow tree, like a rotten shell, began to fall off bit by bit.

In the blink of an eye, tender new shoots eagerly poked out, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant grew into willow branches flickering with a mysterious luster.

The willow branches intertwined with each other, like one Order Shen Lian after another, every texture flowing with endless secrets, shining brilliantly.

"Crack crack."

The crisp sounds continued without cease, playing an inspiring melody between Heaven and Earth.

In the end, the willow tree's originally charred and lifeless body actually completely recovered into emerald green.

At this moment, treasure-light-filled willow branches grew on the willow tree, each one capable of destroying heaven and earth, and also able to nurture all things.

In an instant, peerlessly powerful Divine Radiance surged out from above the willow tree, as if it wanted to break through the Heavenly Vault's constraints and encompass the entire Heaven and Earth in its embrace.

This Divine Radiance contained endless Life Qi; wherever it reached, all things seemed to be granted new vitality.

And the World Tree manifested by Jiang Xuan also emitted a rich green Life Breath, the two shining upon each other and mutually fusing.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth were completely transformed into a Life Paradise, every inch of space filled with vigorous Life Force.

At the same time, within Shi Cun, the lovable Boy once again underwent a strange change.

On his chest, a mysterious Divine Light faintly lit up again; this Divine Light seemed to have its own Consciousness, greedily absorbing the Life Breath.

As if carefully warm-nurturing some sleeping, incomparably powerful thing.

Feeling the abnormality on his chest, the Boy was full of Confusion; he opened his watery big eyes, stupidly looked at his own chest, mumbled in his mouth, and his small hand kept grabbing here and there, as if he had discovered some novel and fun treasure.

After an unknown duration, Jiang Xuan withdrew the World Tree.

As the World Tree was withdrawn, the Divine Radiance on the willow tree, like a receding wave of the sea, quickly and completely collected itself.

Looking at the willow tree now, it had already completed a thorough Nirvana Rebirth.

The charred bark on its trunk had vanished without a trace, replaced by crystal clear transparent willow branches, gently dancing in the gentle breeze.

While everyone was still immersed in this shocking scene, the willow tree's branches gently swayed.

An ethereal and ethereal voice slowly emitted from above the willow tree: "Many thanks, Fellow Daoist, for your assistance."

The moment the voice fell, faintly, a peerlessly elegant Figure seemed to appear above the willow tree, sleeves fluttering.

The Sacrificial Spirit actually spoke?

The people of Shi Cun were completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the willow tree, their brains blank, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

For a long time, the villagers of Shi Cun had thought that the tree they had worshipped for decades was nothing more than an ordinary old willow tree.

But who could have imagined that at this very moment, this old willow tree actually spoke human words!

This sudden scene instantly left everyone standing there stunned.

Expressions of shock froze on their faces, their eyes full of disbelief; as they chatted with each other, it was all shock and doubt at the scene before them.

Shi Yunfeng in the crowd, although also shocked, was relatively much better than the others.

He had witnessed the extraordinary nature displayed by this Sacrificial Spirit; facing the scene of the willow tree speaking, although he felt some emotion in his heart, he was not shocked and at a loss like the other villagers.

"Fellow Daoist need not be so polite. With your divine powers and Foundation, Resurrection is only a matter of time; I merely sped up this process a little."

The willow tree gently swayed its branches, its voice gentle yet clear as it responded: "That may be so, but without Fellow Daoist's assistance, even if I could recover, the time required would be much longer; I have noted this favor."

For a time, the whole Shi Cun was quiet enough to hear a needle drop; everyone widened their eyes, staring at the willow tree and Jiang Xuan.

Who could have expected that this plant, originally considered to have nothing special in their eyes, was now conversing back and forth like two peerless powerhouses of profound cultivation?

The scene before them broke the boundaries of the villagers' understanding of the world.

After a brief conversation, Jiang Xuan spoke with a tone of Expectation: "Fellow Daoist, congratulations on your Nirvana Rebirth; why not take this opportunity to discuss the Dao and exchange cultivation insights? What do you think?"

The Willow God, as the ancestral Sacrificial Spirit of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths during the Xian Gu period of the Perfect World, was once an Immortal King Giant standing at the peak of the world.

Jiang Xuan gathered the Daojie of countless living beings of the Zhe Tian Jie into one body; in terms of the vastness of divine powers, none could surpass him.

Although the two came from entirely different worlds, and their cultivation paths and methods differed somewhat, all Great Daos lead to the same goal, and there exists a certain subtle commonality.

This discussion of the Dao was a rare opportunity for the Willow God.

Although Jiang Xuan's Cultivation Realm still had a considerable gap compared to the Willow God's peak period, his observation of the cultivation path of the Moral Heavenly Venerable's Eight Trigrams Furnace was an incomparably precious treasure.

The Other Shore Powerhouses of the Generation's Most Honored World had strength and Cultivation Realms in no way inferior to the Immortal Emperors of the Perfect World.

He could completely share this insight with the Willow God.

In this current era, whether it was the powerhouses of the Xian Yu, the overlords of the Yi Yu, or the cultivators in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths painstakingly seeking the path of breakthrough, all were trapped in the Immortal King Realm, unable to take that crucial step to achieve the position of Immortal Emperor.

They not only struggled on the path of cultivation, but could not even clearly see the direction ahead, nor find the road forward.

If the Willow God could, through this discussion of the Dao, comprehend the Dao Meaning contained in the Moral Heavenly Venerable's Eight Trigrams Furnace, then even though the cultivation systems of the two worlds differed, relying on the Willow God's Gift and perceptiveness, through drawing inferences from one instance and applying knowledge broadly, it was not necessarily impossible to find a new breakthrough point on his own cultivation path and advance to a higher Cultivation Realm.

This was undoubtedly a discussion of the Dao extremely beneficial to both parties.

The Willow God's Cultivation Realm was profound, his Perception acute to the extreme, able to instinctively capture Heavenly Secrets beneficial to himself.

The green-clothed powerhouse before him faintly emitted a powerful attraction toward it; the Willow God keenly perceived that this might be a rare Opportunity.

Precisely for this reason, even though the powerhouse before him was of unknown origin, the Willow God did not harbor Suspicion toward him.

When Jiang Xuan proposed discussing the Dao, a Mysterious Feeling suddenly surged in the Willow God's heart, certain that his own Opportunity had arrived.

After a moment's thought, the ethereal voice sounded slowly: "Exactly to my liking; I am equally curious about Fellow Daoist's cultivation insights."

As soon as the words fell, a glossy, crystal-clear willow branch wound its way over, divine radiance flashing upon it.

At the same time, an Eight Trigrams Furnace materialized before Jiang Xuan, dazzling and brilliant, hazy divine light appearing and disappearing, as if the universe had just begun.

"Om—"

The willow branch sank into the furnace; upon contact, it tightly entwined. In an instant, two divine lights violently fused, light radiating everywhere, and at the place of fusion, mysterious and unfathomable characters continually emerged.

At the same time, a grand and solemn Great Dao Sound faintly echoed between Heaven and Earth, that voice like the heartbeat of the universe, every sound shaking the depths of the soul.

The Stone Village people were completely unprepared, instantly enveloped by this Great Dao Sound, one after another falling into a trance.

The sound continually echoed in their hearts; although they could not understand its profound meaning, they all truly felt an indescribable wonder, their spirits receiving a sacred baptism at this moment, becoming pure and tranquil.

In Stone Village, Boy Shi Hao's chest suddenly burst forth with strong divine light, dazzling radiance, as if a deity were softly chanting within him.

This divine light greedily absorbed the Great Dao Sound, every strand of sound wave fused into it.

Boy looked at his own chest in a daze, the Great Dao Sound likewise echoing in his heart.

Although he could not yet understand the meaning of these sounds at this moment, these precious insights had already planted a wondrous seed in the depths of his heart; when his cultivation level grows in the future, this seed will take root and sprout, becoming an important aid for him to advance toward a higher cultivation realm.

At the moment the willow branch and Divine Furnace entwined and fused, Jiang Xuan entered an ethereal and clear state of lucidity.

Runes emitting golden light, like lively spirits, jumped and danced in his mind and spirit.

These runes were filled with Great Dao aura; each one was like the essence derivation of all things in Heaven and Earth, sometimes mutually fusing, sometimes uniting with each other, sometimes gathering together; in constant change, countless profound insights surged into Jiang Xuan's heart.

This was the Willow God's cultivation insight, the Dao it comprehended in a lifetime of cultivation, its treasure art for traversing Tianxia.

As a former Immortal King Giant, the Willow God's insights had extremely high compatibility with Jiang Xuan; at this moment, Jiang Xuan gained an unprecedented profound understanding of this world's cultivation system, countless realizations surging forth like a spring.

"Life, Nirvana, Sacrificial Spirit..." countless Laws and knowledge continually flashed in Jiang Xuan's heart, letting him completely immerse himself in a state of enlightenment.

Finally, those golden runes continually gathered and fused, condensing into the most primal, most mysterious symbol.

This symbol appeared simple, yet contained endless changes; it was both "One," representing the Great Dao Primordial Qi of all things returning to one; and "Ten Thousand," symbolizing the myriad changes of all things in the world.

It was the highly condensed essence of the Willow God's Dao; after myriad changes, it ultimately returned to the original truth, perfectly embodying the supreme concept of "the Great Dao is utmost simplicity."

On Jiang Xuan's evolved Eight Trigrams Furnace, azure-green light suddenly blazed forth, the light almost illuminating the entire Tian Di.

The aura of the Eight Trigrams Furnace also continually fluctuated and rose, as if undergoing a major transformation of shedding the mortal body and exchanging bones.

Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged quietly beneath the Eight Trigrams Furnace, wholeheartedly absorbing the Willow God's cultivation insights, and cleverly integrating them into his own cultivation system.

On his body appeared countless flickering points of light; faintly, as if countless worlds were slowly revolving around him, each world containing unique Laws and mysteries.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan seemed to become the Overlord of the Myriad Realms.

At the same moment the willow branch and Eight Trigrams Furnace fused, a layer of crystal-clear transparent divine radiance also rose on the Willow Tree, the light gentle and mysterious.

Jiang Xuan's cultivation insights and the unique Way he possessed slowly flowed into the Willow God's heart. Among them, the cultivation insights of the Bing Hun System and the World Tree, though offering the Willow God some inspiration and enabling it to draw inferences from one instance, did not trigger a fundamental change.

However, Jiang Xuan's evolved Eight Trigrams Furnace caused the Willow God to produce an extremely wondrous realization.

Through this power, the Willow God glimpsed a high-positioned Existence beyond imagination, and an indescribable realization surged in the depths of its heart. At the same time, an image of an Emperor, aged in bearing and extremely noble, appeared without warning in the Willow God's heart.

The Emperor stood in the endless Void; beside him floated an ancient and heavy Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The furnace body was inscribed with mysterious runes, circulating Chaos Light, with ancient Dao Rhyme diffusing; around it circled a surging River of Time, in which the rise and fall of the Myriad Realms were reflected.

Suddenly, the Emperor formed a hand seal; a mysterious power surged from his fingertips, injected into the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

In an instant, the Eight Trigrams Furnace violently shook; the furnace lid slowly opened, and a dazzlingly brilliant fire light instantly lit up; the light was the first ray of dawn breaking through Darkness, and also like a leaping flame, stirring layer upon layer of ripples in the Void; wherever the light reached, it illuminated the Myriad Realms.

In an instant, the entire Tian Di seemed reshaped by a mysterious power, instantly turning into black and white.

All things in the Myriad Realms fell into Silence under this fire light, as if time stopped, space froze, everything becoming an eternal Black and White Scroll.

This fire light contained the power of Pangu's Axe; it could burn away all Karma, and all things in the world submitted before it.

"The Heavenly Venerable refines pills, taking the Universe as material!"

The Willow God only felt its consciousness also completely sink into Silence as the Eight Trigrams Furnace blazed forth, drawn into the endless Darkness Abyss, completely disappearing.

After an unknown time, the black-and-white world suddenly shattered, and that noble and ancient Emperor Figure also dissipated, transforming into countless dancing characters, falling into the Willow God's heart.

"That was an Emperor, an Existence surpassing the King Realm, a true Emperor standing at the peak of the world!"

The Willow God never thought that there truly existed an Emperor in this world.

The moment the thought arose in its heart, the Willow God's mind and spirit also completely immersed themselves in this Emperor's Alchemy Path.

Countless insights surged into its mind; the Willow God finally found that one ray of Guidance illuminating the road ahead.

"The Great Dao is to be expected!"

This ray of light was currently very faint, but enough to let the Willow God completely see the direction ahead, pointing out a new direction for its cultivation path.

At the same time, that wondrous realization just now appeared again in the Willow God's heart, letting it completely fall into the wondrous realm of an Enlightenment State.

Countless profound insights surged into its heart like a spring; every insight was like a key, opening for the Willow God a door to a higher cultivation realm.

For a while, Stone Village was silent, as if time had stopped for this wondrous discussion of the Dao.

The Willow Tree and the youth in green robes stood quietly, continually emitting a rich Life Qi.

Branches and the Eight Trigrams Furnace were closely connected, completely immersed in each other's Way and cultivation insights, simultaneously undergoing a deep transformation.

In the surrounding Tian Di, a grand and solemn Great Dao Sound faintly echoed; this place became a Sacred Land of cultivation that was Inviolable, every inch of air filled with mysterious and powerful power. (Chapter End)
