Chapter 70 Outside the Dan Cave
The power of the cosmic light was so intense that it directly affected the void, distorting the transparent void threads that intertwined between heaven and earth.
Silently, cosmic Dao patterns appeared on Xiong Zhou's body, resonating with the laws of heaven and earth where the void and the light of the universe were almost intertwined, revealing the ever-changing mysteries of spacetime.
In Xiong Zhou's eyes, the world is changing again and again, and things that were never revealed in the past have all had their veils of secrecy lifted.
One after another, the crisscrossing threads seemed to form a beautiful musical score. The sounds of chords and colors seemed to transform into a close friend, guiding him to comprehend the void, understand the light of the universe, and reveal the mysteries of the cosmos.
With this spiritual guidance, Xiong Zhou recalled the subtle insights he had when he crossed space through a small teleportation portal within the Tai Li Immortal Sect.
He suddenly realized that the cave entrance that Cao Hui had created by condensing the power of the Orange Light Divine Sea seemed to have a similar effect to him.
Although the corresponding fluctuations were undoubtedly much coarser and more chaotic than those perceived by the Tai Li Immortal Sect, the frequency of the void vibrations and the amplitude of the distortion of the cosmic light were also much larger and more than tens of thousands of times clearer.
"It's somewhat like transforming the entire Orange Divine Sea into a massive, galactic spiral-arm-level stargate," requiring immense power and energy to overlap spaces, pierce through time, and traverse vast distances.
"It wasn't exactly forced, but it always gave me the feeling that I had to work hard to achieve a miracle."
"This feeling is incredibly subtle."
Of course, what's even more subtle is that Xiong Zhou seems to have figured out the principle behind this teleportation. He can analyze and understand the meaning of each and every one of the manifested Dao patterns.
It's like a scroll of Taoist magic that has already drawn out the specific methods of cultivation. It's clear and obvious. Even if you don't understand the meaning of the words, you won't have any problems just by practicing according to the pictures.
"Is this the advantage of having a special physique?"
"It is so convenient to comprehend the corresponding laws and principles of heaven and earth, as if divinely aided."
Previously, Xiong Zhou only relied on the bloodline power from his father and mother to make his physical strength and affinity for earth and wood elemental principles comparable to ordinary special physiques, but he basically did not have that strong resonance originating from the creation of heaven and earth.
Now, he can clearly appreciate the wonders of this cultivation tool called "special physique".
"No wonder Elder Lishan called him the 'foundation of the universe,' he truly is extraordinary."
"Even without scriptural guidance or instruction from teachers, this unique ability to perceive time and space may be enough to advance the principles of universal law to the level of derived law."
"If we add the innate supernatural abilities that are highly likely to appear, as well as the accompanying artifacts..."
""
"Tsk tsk tsk, even if these two things are ordinary and not as amazing as the Universal Dao Body, they can probably still guarantee a place at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining."
"If the other two qualities are comparable to the Dao Body of the Universe, and one has the cultivation of immortal scriptures and the guidance of a master, one would probably become another terrestrial immortal."
As Xiong Zhou was thinking, he suddenly froze.
With the Universal Dao Body and a powerful innate divine ability, isn't this exactly who he is now?
If only I could have a good companion weapon...
Using the fortuitous opportunity of reaching the realm of mountains and seas to equalize it doesn't seem impossible, and perhaps even surpass it... Wait, the one who was promoted to a terrestrial immortal is actually myself?!
Tai Li Immortal Sect, Chenming Mountain, courtyard.
Xiong Zhou meticulously copied each and every Dao pattern of heaven and earth, covering the entire courtyard's sky. At the same time, he took out his True Disciple Token, logged into the Tai Li Heavenly Network, inputted the corresponding Dao patterns of heaven and earth into it, and searched for related, systematic information.
Based on the information extracted so far, the following relevant articles have been listed:
The Universe, Part One: The Daoist Lord of Heaven and Earth
"The Universal System: Introduction to Time: Elective Course on Tai Li: 90"
"Void Tunnel Architecture: Guiding Principles of Heaven and Earth"
Void Leap: Constellation of Stars: Taiqin Academy
Tens of thousands of different scriptures and knowledge that conform to his current understanding of the laws and principles of the universe and that he can learn were listed by the Tai Li Tian Wang.
This sheer volume of information left Xiong Zhou completely bewildered.
...
"Why are there so many..."
""
Xiong Zhou muttered to himself unconsciously, his expression blank.
The next moment, he realized what he had done, slapped his forehead, and shook his head with a smile.
"I'm dumbfounded, this is normal."
"Leaving aside the number of Immortal Refiners within the sect, just consider the senior brothers who occasionally travel through the Void Sea. It would be strange if they didn't accumulate a considerable amount of scriptures and knowledge of the laws of the universe over the years."
"I don't need to learn too much now, I just need to understand and integrate what I've learned from the Universal Dao Body into my own system, so that the power of abundant Qi can more smoothly drive the power of the void and the light of the universe."
Xiong Zhou began to "translate" the Dao patterns of heaven and earth corner by corner, turning them into something like a "plug-in" and sewing them into his own Abundance System, so that the Dao Rhyme of the universe in his inner world could be manifested more thoroughly, and the mystery of the void and cosmic light hidden in the Abundance Qi could emerge from the depths.
Within the realm of mountains and seas, in the orange-light divine sea.
Before the massive opening was fully formed, the power of [Innate Divine Ability: █ (Pixel Block)] had already become active, and in the eyes of Xiong Zhou's clone, set after set of data were jumping around.
[Taoist Methods: The Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Abundance System]
当前进度：Lv.6（214↑/10，000，000）】
【...】
[Taoist Methods: The Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Abundance System]

【…
..
[Taoist Methods: The Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Abundance System]
当前进度：Lv.6（10，002/10，000，000）】
Adding nearly 10,000 progress points in one go, directly accumulating the Abundance System to one-thousandth of its current level, is already a significant stroke of luck.
Moreover, Xiong Zhou's gains did not stop there.
[True Meaning: Space Teleportation Level: Refinement Level 6 (Extremely Incomplete)]
Completeness: 1%
Remarks:
1. A profound meaning of heaven and earth, which was comprehended and summarized by Xiong Zhou, a true disciple of Tai Li.
2. Even though it is not yet perfect, ordinary beings that are in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth and the way of the earth, such as space, void, traversal, leap, and cosmic light, can use it to cultivate to the level of the fifth level of cultivation.
Special: Not yet perfect, with a slight potential for further improvement.
"Unexpectedly, before I could even reach the limit of the sixth level of the Refinement Realm, I had already comprehended another True Meaning of Heaven and Earth, namely the True Meaning of Abundance, the True Meaning of Earth, and the True Meaning of Wood, which I should have been good at."
"However, given that I've already encountered such a level of opportunity and good fortune, the progress in refining my mind and cultivating my true self has only symbolically increased by a few points, which is basically negligible."
Xiong Zhou was speechless for a moment, and his expression became strange.
At this moment, a vibration emanating from the void power emanated from the huge hole in front of us. The vast cosmic power within stirred the void like an ocean whirlpool, transforming it into a uniquely shaped portal.
Through his Universal Dao Body, Xiong Zhou could clearly sense just how far away the opposite side of this portal was from the Orange Light Divine Sea.
It is about one-tenth the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
This probably means we can really reach the sacred mountain of Danxue.
Cao Hui looked at the successfully opened teleportation portal and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He said to Xiong Zhou, "Fellow Daoist Fengrao, please."
"Across from this portal should be a mountain forest without any divine domains, probably less than ten thousand miles away from the area under the Phoenix's jurisdiction."
"With the help of Fellow Daoist Fengrao, we can enter the territory controlled by the Phoenix in a few days at most."
Xiong Zhou nodded.
"call."
[Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Cao Hui for using the reserves of Heaven and Earth Qi from the Orange Light Divine Sea to send me on this journey.]
Cao Hui smiled and gently shook his head.
"No need to thank me. Fellow Daoist Fengrao provided me with a water vein map, giving me hope for continued transformation. It is only right that I do this."
Xiong Zhou stepped into the portal, which resembled an ocean whirlpool, and turned back to call out.
"Waaah."
"
[Farewell, Fellow Daoist Cao Hui. I hope you achieve your wish and successfully complete your sixth transformation.]
The ten-thousand-foot-long serpent's expression turned solemn, and its tone became serious.
"May Fellow Daoist Fengrao have his wish fulfilled at the Sweet Spring Banquet hosted by the Phoenix within the Divine Mountain of Danxue."
It is less than 10,000 miles away from the area under the jurisdiction of the Danxue Divine Mountain.
Between the two towering mountains, a sudden tremor emanated from the void, with ripples resembling waves of water spreading outwards, affecting the heavens and earth for thousands of miles.
One after another, strange and wondrous beasts with life levels close to the fifth level of Qi Refining cast their gazes here and moved closer.
The giant tiger with emerald green antlers on its forehead, filled with doubt, muttered to itself, "These fluctuations in the void, appearing so close to the Liquan Banquet, are they the work of some malicious ferocious beasts or calamity beasts?"
A phoenix covered in azure feathers descended from the sky and landed on the antlers of this giant tiger, saying, "It's not that bad. The phoenix is still in its dantian, and many of our totems have also undergone changes. Those creatures with deep-seated prejudices dare not directly challenge the current order."
"So, this is a stroke of good fortune?"
The giant tiger with emerald green antlers on its forehead muttered to itself.
"This really looks like the gate that has manifested from some newly appeared secret realm."
The phoenix, draped in azure down, remained silent, its wind-like eyes fixed intently on the object that resembled an ocean vortex.
The power flowing from it, the characteristics of its inner world, felt somewhat familiar to her, as if she had glanced at it before, but it wasn't anything particularly noteworthy.
In the silence, as one strange and wondrous beast after another gathered, the phoenix, draped in azure down, fell into memories, attempting to recall, in its long and winding past, any power or creature similar to or equivalent to this vortex.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, a hint of understanding appeared in her phoenix eyes, and she said, "I remember the aura of a celestial python that came to the Dan Cave to seek an audience with the Phoenix Emperor five hundred thousand years ago."
A black and white dumpling carrying a bamboo shoot rolled over, nestled against the giant tiger's paw, its small black eyes filled with curiosity.
She asked in a low voice, "The Heavenly Python, is it a ferocious beast?"
"Or perhaps some common, strange beast?"
The phoenix, adorned with azure downy feathers, flapped its small wings, its eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
"It's not a ferocious beast, nor is it a strange or exotic creature; it's just an ordinary python."
"It's just that I'm lucky enough to be in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth, and have been granted the authority of heaven and earth, and have the same status as us."
"But the difference between him and us is enormous."
The black and white dumpling took a bite of bamboo shoot, its tiny eyes fixed on the phoenix, its curiosity growing even stronger.
"Aren't they all totems?"
"And what's the difference?"
"So, there's a difference between authority, power, and legal principles, right?"
The phoenix, draped in azure down, seemed to have lost its disdain and contempt, and its expression now held a hint of objectivity.
She recounted the scene she remembered: "This python was tens of thousands of feet long and had reached the peak of its fifth molt, equivalent to the 'Fifth Level of Spirit Refinement' set by the Phoenix not long ago, with essentially the same level of life."
"However, this celestial python chose to consume billions of blood delicacies in an attempt to break through its current realm."
"That day he came to the Dan Cave, his whole body covered in the blood of ten thousand beasts, his evil energy, calamity energy, and bloodlust were no less than those of ordinary calamity beasts."
"You should also be clear about the differences in temperament between ordinary pythons that can transform themselves into this form and those of us who have already embarked on the path of 'Refining the Spirit'—the differences in our spiritual development."
Upon hearing this, not only did the giant tiger and the black-and-white dumpling suddenly change color, but the other strange and exotic beasts that had gradually gathered around also frowned, looking at the expanding vortex with a hint of hostility and a very obvious sense of rejection.
Just as the phoenix covered in azure down said, in the eyes of those totems who established order with the Phoenix and even supported the order established by the Phoenix, this so-called celestial python, even if it has the identity of a totem, is really not one of their kind.
They uphold order, advocate restraint of instincts, rational development, harmony with heaven and earth, protection of all things, creation of mountains and rivers, and the creation of totems that extend across the divine land. Naturally, they feel utter disgust for evil beasts such as ferocious beasts and calamity beasts that drain the pond to catch all the fish, kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and disrupt the cycle of heaven and earth.
For the sake of even the slightest possibility of breaking through to a higher realm, they directly turned the vast land, which could continuously generate resources, into a barren wasteland. This is tantamount to smashing the livelihoods of all totems, cutting off their path of cultivation, and hindering their progress on the path of cultivation.
A frog, perched atop a green lotus leaf, whispered a suggestion: "Why don't we destroy the whirlpool and prevent this celestial python from getting here..."
'
The otter, holding the branch, nodded and suggested, "I'm also a little afraid that this extreme totem might suddenly go berserk and destroy the dam I've worked so hard to build."
One by one, the totems surrounding Qing were speaking out, as if they were about to reach a consensus.
Suddenly, the vortex stopped expanding, and the waves surging out of the void reached a certain extreme.
A large dog, two meters tall at the shoulder and seemingly blessed by heaven and earth, stepped out of the vortex.
He looked at the totems staring angrily at his location with a look of surprise and doubt.
Isn't it said that a civilized order exists in the area near Danxue Sacred Mountain?
So, what's going on here?
They looked like they were about to gang up on me.
