Chapter 205: Endless Immortal Light Illuminates the Nine Heavens
“The perfect path of cultivation?”
“Does a truly perfect path even exist in this world?”
Gu Yuan looked at the three imperial true bodies, his expression filled with shock.
From his understanding, all cultivation paths within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had flaws.
Even the Immortal Seed path he had pioneered with Li Yunqing’s help was not without defects.
The Immortal Seed imprinted the Daos of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, allowing one to merge with them and move freely across all realms.
In theory, although this path had minor flaws, it was relatively complete compared to other paths.
But that only applied within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
If one were to leave them, how could one adapt?
Perhaps only when both the physical body and the Primordial Spirit were truly flawless—
relying solely on oneself, independent of any world—
could one adapt to all realms without suppression.
But did such a path truly exist?
All living beings were born within heaven and earth, and thus depended on it to survive.
Any cultivation path that abandoned heaven and earth would be rootless, destined to exhaust itself.
After all, neither body nor spirit could compare to the endless nature of heaven and earth.
“The perfect path of cultivation… may not exist at all.”
Gu Yuan sighed softly.
He had once considered treating the body as a world.
At the ultimate stage of the Immortal Seed path, one would fuse the Immortal Seed into body and spirit, creating one’s own Nine Heavens and Ten Lands within.
But even that would have limits.
If faced with a stronger world, even such internalized Daos would be suppressed.
“Unless one creates within themselves a world of infinite potential—a perfect world!”
“Can such an endlessly evolving perfect world truly exist?”
Doubt arose within Gu Yuan’s heart.
Yet the thought took root.
The future of the Immortal Seed path lay in fully integrating it into body and spirit, creating one’s own world.
Whether it could evolve into perfection could only be discovered step by step.
“Three true bodies… is this the complete path of phenomena?”
The Sword God Ying Jiu and the Sword Saint of Cangshan were deeply shaken by Li Yunqing’s foundation.
Ordinary phenomena could refine a single true body—that was already the limit.
To refine three true bodies—let alone imperial ones governing heaven, earth, and humanity—how vast must the Dao laws be?
Even a complete world like the Fallen Immortal Land could not simultaneously produce three Supreme Beings.
How then could one refine three imperial true bodies?
With limited lifespan, how could any being comprehend all laws of heaven and earth?
Even with ten thousand or a hundred thousand years, it would be impossible.
Yet now, they witnessed it in Li Yunqing.
How could they not be shaken?
“No! My Heart Sword path is still incomplete!”
“The true Heart Sword—its world is as vast as the heart itself. My comprehension is insufficient!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan’s eyes gleamed as if he had glimpsed the path ahead.
“Indeed. The sword array path is not merely a diagram—it should use an entire world as its formation!”
“Only then can it be the true sword array path!”
The Sword God Ying Jiu responded, his tone filled with resolve.
The two looked at each other, seeing the same sharp determination—unyielding like swords.
“Merge!”
At the summit of the divine mountain, Li Yunqing shouted softly.
She paid no attention to the countless gazes.
This was the most critical moment of her breakthrough.
“Boom!”
As her voice fell, the Dao Self, True Self, and Past Self merged into her body.
A formless thunderous sound echoed across heaven and earth.
“Buzz!”
Her body trembled violently as invisible ripples spread outward.
At that instant, the mountain peak shattered inch by inch.
Even the void itself was crushed into dust.
A terrifying aura spread like invisible waves.
Li Yunqing sat cross-legged in midair.
Endless laws surrounded her, trembling violently.
It was as if three emperors were battling within her—mere aftershocks annihilated everything.
“What is happening?”
“My threefold Primordial Spirit is one—refining the Three Sovereigns of heaven, earth, and humanity. They should merge!”
“Why can’t they fuse?”
“No… when I killed the Nine Kings, they merged once before. This shouldn’t happen!”
“Could it be they’ve grown too strong?”
Her thoughts raced.
Within her body, the three true selves seemed to compete for dominance.
Each refused to yield.
It made sense—
the Sovereigns of heaven, earth, and humanity were all supreme rulers.
Even as fragments of her soul, they still vied for supremacy.
“Of course… if I were such a sovereign, I wouldn’t yield either.”
“Only under overwhelming external pressure would they cooperate!”
“Like when facing the Nine Kings—without merging, there would only be destruction!”
“So… what I lack is absolute pressure!”
At that moment, realization struck her.
But where could she find such pressure?
Surely she couldn’t turn against the world.
And even if she did, no one in the Fallen Immortal Land could threaten her life.
“If I cannot seek externally, I must seek internally!”
She recalled the cultivation path of the Great Scarlet Heaven.
She remembered how Gu Yuan had used Cave Heavens as furnaces, spirit as fire, body as fuel, refining immortal qi.
“Boom!”
The moment the thought arose, her phenomenon transformed into chaos.
“Using the chaotic phenomenon as a furnace, merging with heaven and earth!”
“Using all laws—even the power of heaven and earth—as flame!”
“Using my will as the master to refine the true selves!”
“Boom!”
Chaos condensed into a star—a perfect sphere like sun and moon—embedded in the void.
Li Yunqing herself sat within it.
From afar, she appeared seated within a chaotic sun.
Endless laws surged, becoming blazing flames that ignited her body.
Like dissolving into the Dao itself.
Refining herself with Dao flames—
burning everything into the laws.
“Hiss… it hurts!”
She gasped.
If her body were burned completely, her spirit would also ignite and merge with the Dao.
This was Dao dissolution—
equivalent to self-destruction.
“Buzz!”
Sensing the crisis, the three competing true selves froze.
In an instant, they merged.
Endless laws erupted to resist the flames and protect the body.
During this resistance, the three selves gradually fused into the body.
At that moment, boundless light burst forth from Li Yunqing.
Like a blazing sun and a cold moon simultaneously—
endless radiance illuminated the world.
Everyone watching felt their eyes tear, blood flowing.
Yet they could still sense—
the chaotic star erupted with infinite brilliance, illuminating all realms.
Like a supreme sun had appeared.
“What is that?”
“Immortal light! That’s immortal light!”
“The National Preceptor is truly becoming an immortal!”
“We were all wrong—the true path of phenomena is to transcend and become immortal!”
“What bloodline body path?”
“What Primordial Spirit path?”
“What extreme or Immortal Seed paths—they’re all wrong!”
“The true path is to merge phenomena with heaven and earth, simulate its operation, and refine oneself into an immortal foundation!”
Cries erupted everywhere.
All seemed to finally understand the true path.
Dao gives birth to One—opening the dantian, reaching the peak of Qi refinement.
One gives birth to Two—opening the sea of consciousness, refining spirit.
Two gives birth to Three—forming phenomena.
Three gives birth to all things—merging with heaven and earth, refining the Three Sovereigns.
Once united, they merge with the body, forming the foundation of immortality.
“Hahaha! This is the supreme Dao!”
“Listen—can you hear the scriptures?”
All noise gradually ceased.
From the void came Dao sounds.
Within the immortal light, scripture was being recited.
“It’s the Dao Scripture!”
Everyone was thrilled.
This version was more complete than before.
Each word was profound, containing endless transformations.
“Record it!”
Gu Yuan tried to write it down—
but the paper instantly turned to dust.
No material could bear even a single word.
Thus, all abandoned writing.
They sat and listened, comprehending.
“So that’s it…”
Li Yunqing realized.
Destruction was easy—
but perfect fusion was not.
Like shattered metal, it required intense fire to reforge.
“Buzz!”
As the three true selves fused into her body, her light grew stronger.
Radiant, sacred, carrying the essence of indestructibility.
She finally understood—
this was what it meant to become immortal.
The immortal light was the essence of laws at their limit.
“Buzz!”
The immortal light spread across heaven and earth.
Even beyond the barriers of the Fallen Immortal Land—
into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
“Where did this immortal light come from?”
“Is someone becoming immortal?”
“Impossible!”
“It’s from the Fallen Immortal Land!”
In an instant, countless powerful beings tore through space.
They arrived outside the world, surrounding it.
All beings of the Fallen Immortal Land looked up in terror.
Gigantic figures stood above—
like gods overlooking the world.
Their auras were apocalyptic.
They all gazed at Li Yunqing.
“So it’s not an immortal relic…”
“It’s a new path!”
“So much immortal light—this path can forge immortality?”
“She’s not even in the Seventh Realm yet!”
“Could this be the true path to immortality?”
“Or… did she obtain an immortal relic?”
At that thought, greed ignited.
“Shall we act?”
After a long silence—
“Let each rely on their own methods.”
Agreement was reached.
And Li Yunqing, fully focused on her breakthrough, knew nothing.
Her mere breakthrough had illuminated all realms.
And silently—
danger had arrived.
