Within the Crimson Continent, Zhang Yan was still deep in thought as he deduced for an extremely long period of time. Every single time he encountered a difficulty, he would try to solve it himself, and only when he encountered questions that he couldn't answer would he emerge from his meditative state and head to the Founding Ancestor's abode to read the secret book.
Fu Qingming was right about one thing, everyone's path towards the Dao was different. So, he merely used it as a reference and didn't blindly copy it. Sometimes, he would even question it and ask a rhetorical question.
This was like a question and answer session between master and disciple, and it allowed him to gain even more comprehension and gains every single time.
He ceaselessly went back and forth between the Crimson Continent and the Founding Ancestor's abode, but the Yu Kun had never had any intention to speak. Even though the Yu Kun had promised Fu Qingming, the truth was that so long as Zhang Yan didn't take the initiative to speak to it, then it would be unable to enter the abode. So, it couldn't be considered to have gone back on its word.
Zhang Yan didn't take the initiative to ask as well, but he had some sort of feeling in his heart that something might have changed in the outside world, and perhaps he didn't have much time left to cultivate.
However, he was very clearly aware that if he didn't succeed in his cultivation, then it would be useless even if he left the abode, whereas if he succeeded, then all problems could be easily solved. So, he didn't get distracted by this, and he continued deducing the cultivation technique step by step. Because he'd immersed his entire mind into it, he didn't notice the passage of time at all.
One day, his mind awoke from his long period of comprehension.
At this moment, he'd finally deduced the path of the Dao beneath his feet to the limits of his ability, and when he counted the time, he noticed that over four hundred years had actually passed.
Presently, a day in the outside world was around three hundred and twenty days in the damaged jade. During these four hundred plus years, it was equivalent to 129,600 years in the damaged jade, and not a single year was more or less.
He clearly sensed that even if he continued working hard, he wouldn't be able to obtain any more in this area.
At this point in time, he'd already made sufficient preparations. The path towards the higher realms was right beneath his feet, and he could take that step at any time.
He wasn't too impatient, and he just sat silently here for a few days to harmonize his vital energy and mind. After that, he stopped hesitating and focused his gaze, causing the dark stone to appear out of thin air before him.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and then he didn't hesitate to circulate the cultivation technique.
At this moment, images of the future suddenly flashed before his eyes.
The boundless evil aura was surging towards him, as if it wanted to stop him from taking this path. It seemed like it wouldn't take long. It might take a few hundred years, or even a few decades for it to reach him.
However, right at this moment, Crimson Continent seemed to have turned upside down, and countless indescribable things surged out from within it. It was like a torrent had surged into an ocean, and it was unable to cause any ripples. All the evil energy that shot over was worn down and devoured. It wasn't just that, it was gradually spreading towards the source, and it arrived at the end where even he was unable to see.
All of these scenes flashed in an instant, but he understood in his heart that so long as he was still here, then this future would be equivalent to being killed by Chi Lu. Such a thing would never happen, but if he left, then the resentment would come looking for him.
This was good news. It meant that he could focus all of his attention on breaking through the trial, and he didn't have to divert part of his energy to guard against external disturbances.
Thus, he turned his Divine Will and instantly escaped into the unknown. At the same time, the Profound Stone also disappeared from the present world and appeared in this place.
This place seemed like a Void Origin Sea, and there were countless Dimensions in the surroundings that revolved ceaselessly around him.
There was no past or future here, nor was there any beginning or end here. He only knew that he existed here. As he circulated his cultivation technique, a myriad of paths instantly unfolded before his eyes, and every single one of them seemed to lead to the end. He was even able to notice that one of them was exceptionally flat.
This was the path that Fu Qingming had pointed out for him. He only had to step onto it, and because he had the experience of his predecessors as a reference, he would be able to pass through it very smoothly.
He didn't use such a shortcut, and he took another path after taking a glance. However, it was also because of this that layer upon layer of obstructions instantly appeared before him, and they ceaselessly tried to push him away from the correct path. If he were to accidentally fall into one of these obstructions, then he would be lost within it forever, and he would never be able to come out again. Fortunately, he'd seen such scenes many times within the damaged jade, so he was able to pass through this door with ease.
After taking a step, he didn't go down immediately. Instead, he withdrew his Divine Decree, and it was also at this instant that due to the effect of the Internal Refinement Technique, the results obtained from the Divine Decree instantly reflected into the Avatar. In just a moment, the Avatar suddenly became stronger.
Such a situation was as if the process was cut off, and the cause of the matter was born, and there was a direct result.
The Avatar, on the other hand, benefited from this, and it would become even stronger. Subsequently, it would be able to produce even more Primordial Qi to support the consumption of the Divine Decree. Therefore, the more difficulties it passed, the stronger the Avatar would be, and conversely, it would be able to push its cultivation to a step further.
After his Qi activity had completely stabilized, he gathered his thoughts and continued to circulate his cultivation technique within the Divine Decree. In the next moment, another wave of Primordial Qi poured in and continued to replenish the Avatar. After that, he circulated his Divine Decree again, and this cycle repeated.
When he was deducing earlier, he managed to find all the difficulties that he could encounter, and he resolved them. He grasped every step extremely precisely. Therefore, there was no need for him to think carefully, and he could proceed to the next step without any pauses.
Since the ancient times until now, all the cultivators that had arrived at this barrier, no matter if they succeeded or failed, there wasn't a single one that was able to achieve such an almost perfect state like him.
If his cultivation was successful, then perhaps he would be able to attain an unprecedented state.
However, he didn't let his guard down because of this. The Dao of True Yang was profound and unfathomable. Even if he'd deduced it over and over again within the damaged jade, he was unable to say that he'd exhausted everything and knew all the changes.
Because no matter how much time passed within the Divine Decree, it would only be an instant in the eyes of the outside world. So in the eyes of the outside world, his vital energy was rising ceaselessly, and his Primordial Energy was rising ceaselessly as if it could continue until the end of the world.
After continuing like this for over 100 years, he finally stopped because he'd already arrived before the final door.
Based on Fu Qingming's memories, so long as he was able to pass through it successfully, then he would be able to attain the upper stage of the True Yang Realm in a single step!
But this was the most difficult barrier. If one didn't possess an enormous amount of Primordial Qi and sufficiently formidable Primordial Energy, then one could only be obstructed by this final door.
Even though he'd repeatedly deduced it within the damaged jade, he wasn't able to pass through it every single time.
The vital energy of a cultivator was in the state of dispersing at all times, and if one was unable to maintain an upward momentum, then one could only go downhill. This was like a wave that had suddenly surged, and once the peak of the wave passed, it would surely fall downwards.
After experiencing the external refinement and internal refinement before this, coupled with the infusion of the darkstone and the reflection of the Primordial Energy, it was equivalent to pushing this wave of Primordial Energy and Primordial Energy up ceaselessly. Only when his vital energy rose to the highest point would he have a chance to break through the door.
This move seemed to be simple, yet it required him to circulate his cultivation technique ceaselessly, and there were countless indescribable forces obstructing him. These forces were impossible to grasp and had no fixed rules, so it was utterly difficult to grasp, and he could only act according to the situation.
This door would exhaust all his previous accumulations in one go, and it could be said that all his hard work in the past was for the sake of this step. If he couldn't pass through it, then it would be impossible for him to pass through it in the future.
He didn't know what would happen in the future because every single time he failed, his mind would withdraw from the damaged jade, and he would be utterly unable to recall everything. It seemed as if that part of the future would vanish along with it. This pass was life, but also death.
He looked at the door, and his mind suddenly became extremely focused, and his cultivation technique circulated faster and faster. At this moment, he could no longer distinguish whether he was in the Divine Will, or in the present world, or both. Just at the moment when his vital energy and vital energy reached the peak, he suddenly slammed his body forward without the slightest hesitation!
Boom!
As if everything had shattered, the door was no longer there, and in front of him was a vast and endless sea of Primordial Energy.
This was absolutely different from what he saw after he severed his future body. This was a true sea of Primordial Energy, which spread throughout the heavens and worlds, hidden deep in the dark. It did not pass through the past, the future, and not in the present world, and only the Divine Will could touch it.
According to Fu Qingming's memories, so long as a cultivator planted his vital energy into this world, he would be able to endlessly absorb Primordial Energy from it in the future, and it would become resources for a True Yang cultivator. The deeper he planted his vital energy, the more benefits he would obtain, but at the same time, the greater the pressure he would have to bear. All of this depended on the cultivator's own foundation, vital energy, vital energy, and even vital energy.
After observing it for a while, he placed his vital energy into it. At first, it was extremely easy, but the further he went, the greater the pressure. Before long, it became extremely difficult, and his vital energy and magic power were rapidly flowing away. It felt as if he was carrying the entire sea of Primordial Energy, and as his vital energy went deeper, it became heavier and heavier.
However, he remained unmoved and continued to go down.
After an unknown period of time, he finally felt that he'd reached his limit, and if he were to forcefully continue, then it would probably harm his foundation. However, right at this moment, his body that was already dried up suddenly shook, and countless indescribable things surged into his body.
At this moment, on the Scarlet Continent, even if he did not deliberately guide it, once his vital energy and vital energy were exhausted, these things would continuously pour into his body and maintain his vitality.
Whether it was the Profound Stone or the Void Primordial Sea, it was only his Dharma Body that had strengthened, not his physical body. However, this did not mean that the physical body was useless. The two were originally one, and there was no difference between them. They could still be used by him. As a result, the already exhausted Essence Qi increased a little more. For him at this moment, this was only a drop in the bucket. However, this stopped his momentum from declining. Instead, he went a little deeper into the sea of Essence Qi where it should have been impossible.
But it was precisely this step that caused an extreme change. Bang! He felt as if he'd entered into a completely new world, and a wave of comprehension instantly surged in his heart because he'd crossed a barrier that no one had ever crossed before.
At this moment, a dot of light shone on the sea of Primordial Energy, and it instantly spread infinitely far away.
When the sun first appeared, all transformations were born.
He smiled faintly, and his Dharma Body suddenly dispersed, turning into specks of light that fell down until they disappeared. After a long time, they once again gathered in the boundless light, and he returned to his original appearance.
With this change, the world had been turned upside down!
On the Scarlet Continent, Zhang Yan opened his eyes, and two divine lights that seemed to be able to illuminate the entire world flashed. He shook his sleeves, stood up quietly, and looked around. In an instant, he saw all the worlds, the past and the future. At this moment, his gaze suddenly became incomparably distant, and he chanted in a clear voice, "The Primordial Sea uses the boat to ferry the true spirit, creation as the furnace to refine the Dharma Body, a single breath connects all the worlds, and the universe is in harmony with the Profound God!"
