Chapter 165 : One Person Can Suppress the Nine Heavens
Chapter 165: One Person Can Suppress the Nine Heavens
Immortal God Forbidden Zone, Wuwang Mountain.
The Sword God Ying Jiu and the Sword Saint of Cangshan stood atop the mountain, gazing toward the vast bright moon in the sky.
Even though Wuwang Mountain was covered by a grand formation, it could not block the moonlight from the heavens.
Behind them, Jiang Xiuning, Lu Xingzhou, Xun Fei, and others also raised their heads to look at the sky.
The immense moon shone brilliantly, endless moonlight pouring down like threads of mist.
Upon that moon, there seemed to be a massive phantom of an imperial palace.
Like the legendary Moon Palace.
Though they could not see the scene within, upon seeing that moon, everyone thought of a single figure.
A figure like the bright moon itself.
“Is it her?”
Lu Xingzhou murmured. Sword light flickered in his eyes, yet he still could not see through the scene within the moon.
He only vaguely felt that within that moon was a vast world, merged with heaven and earth, illuminating the entire Fallen Immortal Land.
Guiding all beings toward the path of cultivation.
Pointing out the road ahead.
“I thought that with the Return to Origin Scripture Yunqing gave us, the future path would be between the two of us.”
“I didn’t expect that she would walk ahead of us!”
The Sword God Ying Jiu sighed.
There was no need to think further. The gathering of the Pure Yin Dao, forming a vast moon illuminating heaven and earth—aside from Li Yunqing with her Pure Yin Body, there could be no second person.
“To open an inner world, reflect it upon heaven and earth, merge with heaven and earth, and use its power to nurture one’s Dao.”
“This path perfectly resolves the dilemma of being unable to bear the laws of heaven and earth!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan spoke, his tone full of admiration.
After the Immortal Dao was severed, heaven and earth retaliated. Many jade slips recording cultivation methods from the Immortal Era had nearly vanished.
They had also been plundered by external forces—many inheritances and treasures were long gone.
If not for the remnants of immortals and gods appearing with their memories, the cultivation path of this world would have long been cut off.
Yet even with their guidance, after nearly a hundred thousand years, no one had found a way forward.
Heaven and earth had grown weak, spiritual vitality dim, like a dead land. All beings became frail, special physiques rare, lifespans shortened.
Reaching this day had only been possible through countless battles every four hundred years.
Forged from endless blood and bones.
“Can the Ten Lands Reincarnation Battle truly be won?”
“Even a sect as strong as Wuwang Immortal Sect was destroyed!”
Jiang Xiuning sighed softly, looking at the mountain beneath her.
Ruins filled her sight—broken walls, scattered bones, shattered weapons, and dried blood.
Many areas had been ravaged by supreme power, remaining barren even after all these years.
One could imagine how terrifying the aftermath of defeat had been.
“The new path has opened, heaven and earth revive—there is hope for the future!”
The Sword God Ying Jiu responded softly, then looked at the Sword Saint and asked:
“What kind of inner world will you open?”
“Sword Heart!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan answered without hesitation. Behind him, a radiant and illusory long sword suddenly appeared.
“Buzz!”
Terrifying killing intent and despair erupted from that illusory blade.
Everyone was shocked, staring in disbelief.
This path had just appeared, yet the Sword Saint had already formed a prototype of his inner world.
It even manifested between heaven and earth, like a celestial sword capable of slaying immortals and destroying gods.
Such a phenomenon made one’s scalp tingle.
Yet within that sword, they also sensed a trace of hope and vitality.
Within despair and slaughter, there was hope and unyielding will.
“All things in the world restrain and generate each other—they never exist alone!”
“At the extreme of death comes life; at the peak of despair, hope is born!”
“True strength is to hold the softest heart, embracing all things, yet wield the hardest force to change everything.”
The Sword Saint spoke with a tone of instruction.
The size of one’s heart determines the size of one’s world.
Clearly, he was speaking for his disciples.
Do not despair—as long as one lives, there is hope.
“Indeed!”
The Sword God Ying Jiu nodded in agreement.
His gaze sharpened. Endless sword qi surged around him, forming a grand phenomenon.
Within it, five illusory swords of five colors stood like pillars, supporting heaven and earth.
Five-colored sword qi erupted, forming a circulating river of Five Elements sword qi, endlessly cycling and intertwining.
When they merged into one, they emitted a world-destroying aura.
A sword world—the Dao of Myriad Swords Return to the Origin.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
The Sword God had also formed a prototype inner world, reflected into reality.
A world of swords.
Perhaps those with great talent and strong hearts, upon seeing this moon, would gain insight.
Before long, beings beyond the Divine Realm might emerge.
Within a hundred years, countless experts would contend—a golden age would begin.
If so, perhaps there truly was hope.
“What will your inner world be?”
Seeing their manifestations, Xun Fei suddenly whispered to Lu Xingzhou, curious.
Her master cultivated the Sword Heart, so his inner world naturally followed that path.
But Lu Xingzhou’s Sword Heart was one of pure emotion—sincere and absolute.
“Mine?”
Lu Xingzhou paused, silent. Li Yunqing’s figure appeared in his mind.
“Perhaps… her.”
Even he wasn’t sure—if his inner world formed into a statue of Li Yunqing, would that be disrespectful?
“I wonder how Qianqian is doing…”
Jiang Xiuning murmured, worried.
Even though the two had formed inner world prototypes, they were only at the Profound Realm—not yet Divine Realm.
They still could not break the grand formation that had merged with the mountain for ten thousand years.
They could not leave.
“They’ll be fine. Yunqing is there!”
The Sword God reassured her. The Sword Saint nodded slightly, then said with curiosity:
“I wonder how strong Yunqing has become.”
At these words, everyone fell silent.
To open a new path, she must be extremely powerful—perhaps not weaker than the Sword God or Sword Saint.
Yet when they parted, she had not even reached the Profound Realm.
They could not comprehend how she could pioneer a path without reaching the Divine Realm.
“What realm am I in now?”
At this moment, Li Yunqing had regained her consciousness and was slightly confused.
Initial Realm refined the body, Qi Realm refined qi, Profound Realm refined spirit, Divine Realm unified essence, qi, and spirit to form divine abilities.
These divine abilities were seeds of the laws of heaven and earth.
Now that the path beyond Divine Realm had appeared, it could perhaps be called the Dao Realm.
“Am I in the Dao Realm?”
Li Yunqing wondered.
She had not entered the Divine Realm, yet with her Yang Spirit and Dao Power, she could use divine abilities and possessed Divine Realm combat strength.
Her Yang Spirit was no weaker than a Divine Realm expert.
In a sense, she was already a different kind of Divine Realm.
Perhaps this was the benefit of dual cultivation in Immortal Dao and Martial Dao.
Breaking through the Profound Realm had already transformed her.
Now, as a Path Pioneer, she had opened an inner world.
“In that case, I should be the first Dao Realm cultivator.”
“Only then can I be called the Path Pioneer!”
“And if ordinary Dao Realm inner worlds encounter mine, they would likely shatter instantly.”
“So… am I invincible?”
“The Dao Scripture can strengthen the foundation of my inner world, but how do I make this world stronger?”
She murmured, her confusion deepening.
As the Path Pioneer, she had only opened the path—proving it viable.
How to cultivate the Dao Realm in detail still required exploration.
The Dao Realm involved opening an inner world through divine abilities.
Depending on the abilities, it could become a cave heaven, a pure land, phenomena, or divine weapons.
Merged with heaven and earth, carrying the laws of the Dao, growing stronger.
This was only a general direction.
But her path formed a world—unique and powerful.
To strengthen it, she needed direction—one no one else could provide.
“The Heavenly Court and Imperial Palace, the Underworld Reincarnation—these are where the Dao resides.”
“The human realm is where the laws operate.”
“So… to grow stronger, I must follow the example of heaven and earth?”
“Bring all the Daos of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands into my world, letting it evolve?”
“Only then can I become stronger?”
Suddenly, a realization flashed in her eyes.
A full moon appeared behind her.
Where its light shone, everything fell into stillness.
Seasons, life and death—everything moved by her will.
This was her inner world manifesting.
The next moment, five-colored energy formed in her palm into a sphere, which she tossed into the moon.
That was the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm.
“Buzz!”
The moon trembled slightly. A five-colored Five-Finger Mountain appeared within the inner world.
Five Elements energy circulated, forming a small world around it.
Seeing this, she flipped her hand and threw in the Sword World in the Palm.
“Boom!”
The world trembled again. A sword domain formed, filled with endless sword qi—a forbidden zone of destruction.
“And Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance!”
She continued. A flame at her fingertip transformed into a phoenix and entered the moon.
“Buzz!”
A sea of fire formed, magma churning, with a phoenix rising within.
With these powers, she felt her world grow more stable.
It seemed that as more laws were added, it would become a true world.
“Divine abilities are seeds of laws!”
“In the inner world, they will take root and grow into great Daos!”
“This path works!”
She instantly understood.
“So I need more techniques and divine abilities—to comprehend more laws.”
“To make my world the strongest!”
Only then could she become stronger.
She thought again of the Ten Lands Reincarnation Battle.
“Relying on others is unreliable.”
“I need more power. Even if I cannot protect this world, I must protect myself.”
“In that case…”
She stood and walked to the window, looking east.
The sun began to rise, shining alongside the moon.
“The Immortal God Forbidden Zone must be visited—not only to save the Sword God and Sword Saint, but to obtain more techniques!”
“I must also go to the Central Region to acquire more divine abilities!”
“If possible, I must obtain techniques from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!”
“When my world contains thousands of divine abilities and evolves countless laws—”
“At that time, I alone shall be able to suppress the Nine Heavens!”
