Chapter 1029: The Five Steps Of Eternity, Legend Of The Heavenly Venerable (1)
In the depths of the Creation Dao Realm.
Wu Yuan's body refiner self should have been transported out of the dark void after he received the inheritance. However, merging with a strand of the Great Dao's Authority also gave Wu Yuan some ability to perceive the entire Creation Dao Realm.
He could utilize a trace of the Dao Realm's power, allowing him to stand steadily in the void as his consciousness and memories fully merged with his qi refiner self.
Both were Wu Yuan, but the passage of time and different experiences had led the two selves to make different choices. Now they were reuniting once more.
His qi refiner self's grand ambitions and world-shaking prestige inspired Wu Yuan to set his sights even higher and think far beyond his current horizons.
At the same time, his body refiner self's relentless life-and-death trials over tens of thousands of years—culminating in his success as an Ancestral Pagoda Archon and his first steps toward becoming a Dao Master—left an indelible mark on his character. Enduring constant torment, teetering on the brink of death, had forged a steadier and more introspective mind. Only through experiencing the pressure of death could one attain the serenity to view all things with equanimity.
The convergence of his consciousnesses tempered Wu Yuan's inner self, with tens of thousands of years of accumulation truly beginning to transform him. The transformation of the spirit required the baptism of time, but was just as importantly forged by experiences.
My spirit has gained sturdiness, as well as sharpness. Wu Yuan murmured to himself. On the path of cultivation, one must walk steadily instead of rushing blindly. One must also have the heart to be unrivaled in the world, to keep walking forward.
Before, my qi refiner self's individual consciousness ultimately lacked some confidence. Overlord Bei Zhen? My true goal should be higher. The legendary feats of sempiternal lifeforms throughout ancient and modern times are what I truly pursue. The eyes of both of Wu Yuan's true selves had become as deep and unfathomable as the sea, as immeasurable as the abyss.
From this moment on, Wu Yuan's spirit and will, in a sense, truly began to rival the many Overlords of the boundless megaverse.
Within the Ming Jian Realm, his qi refiner self sat in lotus position atop a jade platform.
