Under Li Qingshan's hot-blooded and inexplicable command, Deep Blue Fatty rushed out of the "womb" and returned to the huge "stomach" of the Big Swallowing Beast.
Of course, this was a far-fetched description. The Big Swallowing Beast was fundamentally different from ordinary creatures. Rather than saying that the "stomach" occupied most of its body, it was more accurate to say that everything in its body was in the stomach, which Luo Hou Xiaoming described as "empty".
Deep Blue Fatty's body suddenly shrank, but after the invisible pressure disappeared, it immediately returned to its original size and shape. Under Li Qingshan's will, it waved its long tail and swam into the depths of the "stomach". It passed through a few more strange areas, but none of them posed a threat.
Suddenly, a star appeared in the darkness, flickering with colorful light.
"What is that?"
Li Qingshan was surprised. In this deep darkness, everything could be seen clearly, but that star seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. It clearly only had three colors, red, yellow, and blue, but he felt that he had never seen anything so resplendent.
Every color was changing: crimson, dark red, blood red … orange, bright yellow, light yellow … azure, light blue, deep blue … there were so many that it could not be described with words. The three colors intertwined with each other, and it was ever-changing, containing all the colors in the world.
As they drew closer and closer to the star, Li Qingshan also understood why the star was twinkling. Other than these three colors, there was also a colorless aura surging around the star. Every time the aura blew, the star would twinkle, and its shape and color would change subtly.
"So beautiful!"
Gu Yanying was also mesmerized by it, like a normal girl looking at a piece of jewelry. And it was a piece of jewelry from all over the world.
Luo Hou Xiaoming said, "It's the world."
Li Qingshan understood. "Earth, fire, wind, and water. So this is the original appearance of the world. It must be the heart of this Big Swallowing Beast!"
As they got closer, the star became bigger, and its brilliance became more dazzling. The heavy ground, the blazing fire, the raging wind, and the deep water all intertwined to form a magnificent scene.
Even though they already knew that the Big Swallowing Beast could nurture a world, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. The majestic power contained within it was enough to move anyone.
Perhaps after millions of years, all of this would transform into a new world. Another new star would appear in the void. Then, countless living beings began to multiply. It transformed into endless love and hatred, sorrow and joy, separation and reunion.
Luo Hou Xiaoming's knowledge was far above that of Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying, but looking at this scene, he could not help but think of the worlds that he had destroyed with his own hands, and for a moment, he was also speechless.
And he noticed. Li Qingshan and Gu Yanying both entered the state of enlightenment. He didn't want to disturb her. Seeing the origin of the world with his own eyes. Such an opportunity was extremely rare even for him, and it was even more so for them.
The word 'Dao Comprehension' contained endless profundities. The reason was simple. Just like how mortals would feel the abstract concept of "life" when they saw a newborn baby, they would feel deeply moved and perhaps change their words and actions.
If mortals wanted to achieve something, they would need a lot of experience, let alone cultivators.
The essence of cultivation was to seek truth and change. First, there must be a change in thinking, then there would be a change in cultivation. But for cultivators, such opportunities were increasingly rare. After seeing too much of life and death, there would not be any great enlightenment, and it would often take a long time to accumulate.
If the accumulation was insufficient, there would be a bottleneck, and one's cultivation would not be able to advance.
Sometimes, what one thought could surpass thousands of years of cultivation.
That was why cultivators with high enlightenment had such a great advantage. Seeing a falling leaf and knowing the world was in autumn was already beyond the reach of ordinary people. And those monstrous geniuses who could understand the rules of the movement of all things and stars when they saw an apple fall to the ground were things that ordinary people could not even dream of.
Although it was not impossible to make up for, it would take a hundred times the effort and hard work.
For this one thought, the three of them had experienced a great risk. Only at this moment did they truly obtain a reward that belonged to them.
No matter how big the world was, no matter how strong Little Fatty was, they were all external forces that could be borrowed but not relied on. Only enlightenment and cultivation belonged to oneself.
After who knew how long, Gu Yanying returned to her senses. Her body and mind seemed to have gone through a baptism. She felt like she had become more and more integrated with the kun peng feather. Even without the kun peng feather, undergoing the fourth heavenly tribulation would no longer be difficult.
It was not just because of what she saw, but because the cultivators of the nine provinces had never even heard of this journey since they left the nine provinces. She could not help but become more and more certain of her own path. She wanted to fly higher and further, see more and see more and obtain true freedom.
Looking back at Li Qingshan, she saw that he remained motionless. Two stars condensed from earth, fire, wind, and water were reflected in his eyes. She knew that his comprehension and gains were greater than hers, so she watched over him quietly.
However, what Li Qingshan saw was not just the existence of earth, fire, wind, and water. There was also the existence of emptiness.
Without emptiness, the earth, fire, wind, and water could not be condensed. Without the earth, fire, wind, and water, emptiness would be meaningless.
The earth, fire, wind, and water just happened to correspond to the four transformations he balanced: the Ox Demon Transformation, the Phoenix Transformation, the Tiger Demon Transformation, and the Spirit Turtle Transformation.
This was no coincidence. Instead, it was the foundation laid down by the Nine Transformations of the Demonic and Divine. How grand was it to construct a world within one's body? Presumably, only by imitating the way the world was born and operated could he balance these extremely pure powers.
In the battle against the Demon King in the Asura Field back then, he had relied on controlling the earth, fire, wind, and water to turn defeat into victory. However, ever since then, the Demon Suppression Statuary was deeply suppressed. When he comprehended the Ape Demon Transformation, the balance was broken again. At this moment, he saw a brand new balance.
Now that he thought about it, the main reason why he could balance the earth, fire, wind, and water was because he was in the Asura Field. The Asura Field was his "emptiness".
Once he left the Asura Field, his powers would be drawn in by everything. The extremely subtle balance would no longer exist. All that remained was a general balance.
At this moment, he saw an opportunity. The Ape Demon Transformation just happened to represent "emptiness".
"I understand now. When I cultivated the first four transformations, the balance was established. From then on, what I needed to balance was no longer the divine and demonic natures. Instead, I needed to construct a world within my body. The Ape Demon Transformation is not a disruptor that disrupts the balance between the divine and the demonic. Instead, it is an indispensable power that allows this world to truly be established. "
With that in mind, Li Qingshan broke through to the second layer of the Ape Demon Transformation. Originally, he was worried that any slight improvement in his cultivation would attract the fourth heavenly tribulation, but he was no longer afraid now.
Waves of power seeped out of his body. His aura weakened instead, but his power became even more condensed.
The value of a sword forged from scrap metal was nowhere near the three-foot-long blade. It could perhaps be used to smash people in battle, but if he wanted to improve it further, he would have to refine it again and again.
He powered the Spirit Turtle Transformation with all his might, deriving the embryonic form of the world before him.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes … Deriving it out of thin air. This was an almost impossible task. Now that he could see it, and he had also comprehended the operating laws of the minor world, things could not be simpler.
After he finished deriving it. A model formed in his mind. He began to imitate it.
First, he compressed and reorganized all the power in his body. Then, he constructed it in a better manner. If he transformed into his daemonic form right now, his figure would definitely constantly shrink.
"No, it still won't work. The Ape Demon Transformation is too weak. 'Emptiness' can't accommodate 'Earth, Fire, Wind, Water' unless I also raise the Ape Demon Transformation to the fifth layer. However, the first and second layers are still fine, but towards the end, the power will start to increase explosively, and the fourth heavenly tribulation will definitely descend. "
Li Qingshan frowned and pondered. Soon, he had an idea. "Please protect me!"
"Okay!" Gu Yanying and Luo Hou Xiaoming both had a serious look on their faces. Their paths were the same, and their lives were entrusted to each other. Protecting him was just a small matter.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes, and his body ignited in flames. One could vaguely see a phoenix dancing in the flames.
Phoenix Nirvana, Rebirth from the Ashes!
This was the first time Li Qingshan had actively used Phoenix Nirvana. In the past, he had been beaten to death by others, and he had no choice but to undergo Nirvana Rebirth.
This time, it felt very different. He was in the best state he had ever been, whether it was his body or his spirit. Moreover, there was a world providing him with spiritual power.
After Nirvana, he was reborn. Before his strength began to recover, he established a new balance with all his might.
When the ox demon did not move, the tiger demon leaped. The spirit turtle dove, and the phoenix danced.
The ape demon spread its chest, and its arms constantly extended, embracing everything.
With a boom, the daemon core exploded, and a world was born in his body.
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. This world was so tiny. Although it was only in its most primitive form, it had all five organs. The five organs were 'Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Space'.
However, his aura had become much weaker. That was because he had suppressed the ox, tiger, turtle, and phoenix to the second layer.
The initial transformations of the Nine Transformations of the Demons and Gods were very weak. With these two basic cultivation levels, it would not be strange for his strength to fall back to the Daemon General realm. At most, he would be a Daemon Commander. However, he was clearly still a Daemon King right now.
If Deep Blue Little Fatty risking his life to devour the Void Devouring Beasts was a gamble, then he was a steam engine turning into a reactor. He had undergone a qualitative change.
Next, he could continue cultivating the Ape Demon Transformation. This was not difficult for him. Once he reached the fifth layer, the power of the other transformations would be completely restored. By then, he would possess unprecedented power. It was almost equivalent to going through four heavenly tribulations.
The most amazing thing was that according to his calculations, he would still not attract four heavenly tribulations by then. He would still be a Daemon King, and he would be able to return to the nine provinces and reunite with Little Ann.
"How is this possible? What kind of cultivation method is this? "
Luo Hou and Little Ming were shocked. This wasn't an aura that a Fiend King could possess at all. Ordinary cultivators often had to rely on crossing tribulation in order to produce this kind of transformation. How could they jump up from where they were and immediately fly away?
"The Nine Transformations of the Demons and Gods!"
Li Qingshan revealed the truth out of trust and confidence. He also wanted to understand the relevant information from Luo Hou Xiaoming. Brother Niu was not a nobody.
Luo Hou Xiaoming thought for a while and shook his head. "I've never heard of it."
Such a cultivation method should not be unknown. Then, it could only be a new creation. Moreover, it was only passed on to him, or it was created for him.
"I'm really a little envious of your luck. Isn't that your father?"
"My father plows the fields. That's my big brother!" Li Qingshan laughed and waved his hand. "Devour, Little Fatty!"
