I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 215 Realms and Conditions

Xiao Wuji had a very long dream. In the dream, he transformed into a giant wearing a robe of five-colored divine fire, tearing worlds down from the sky and throwing them into a furnace within his body, where they were then slowly refined.

"Refined in the furnace of heaven and earth, only then can one attain the true Dao!" A series of resounding, booming voices echoed in his ears. At first, he couldn't remember them at all, but when he finally did, the dream ended…

Inside Mu Qing's cave, Xiao Wuji looked at the colorful lotus seeds in his hand, unsure of what to say.

The technique was too powerful, but it also had its drawbacks. With his current strength, he could only see the part of the technique that was related to the celestial beings.

Moreover, the energy required to cultivate this technique is far too great!
The first step in cultivation—foundation building!
To cultivate this technique, one must first establish a foundation. This foundation establishment is different from that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; it is the true forging of the foundation for the Great Dao. It is somewhat similar to the "seed of a secret realm" in the game "Covering the Sky".

One needs to use a secret technique to integrate a small world into one's body, and then use another secret technique to return the small world to chaos.

Only in this way can one enter the first realm of cultivation—Return to Nothingness!
The second step in cultivation—refinement!

Ignite the Chaos Fire in the Chaos World, and then enhance the potential of the Chaos World by refining various treasures within it.

The greater the potential, the more perfect the world will eventually be created; theoretically, there is no upper limit to this.

This is the second stage of cultivation—chaos!
The third step in spiritual practice—expounding the Way!
Once you feel you have enough potential, you can begin to explore the world. There are also some secret techniques to assist you.

During the evolution of the chaotic world, he used his strongest path as the Heavenly Dao to evolve a complete world.

This realm is called—the World! Also known as Celestial Immortals!

Therefore, there are only two realms before the Celestial Immortal realm: the Void Realm and the Chaos Realm.

Of course, the celestial beings here are far superior to countless others, and the top-tier celestial beings are even comparable to the Dao Ancestors of this realm. After all, even a Dao Ancestor might not be able to defeat a celestial being who possesses a vast world.

"This cultivation technique is a complete waste of money—"

Xiao Wuji couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for his empty wallet. Before, cultivation only consumed spirit stones and various forms of spiritual energy. But now, it was consuming world after world's worth of energy.

If one wanted to create a vast world within their body, it would probably require refining at least one great world, which is terrifying to even think about.

Is this the true value of a Dao Lord? Someone who can casually create and destroy the entire universe?
For a moment, Xiao Wuji couldn't help but want to back down...

"This is absolutely outrageous! They didn't consider my current predicament at all when they created this law!"

Unable to contain his grief, Xiao Wuji decided to clear his head first.

After turning left and right outside the door, they arrived at Mu Qing's boudoir and pounced on Yuan Yao, who was receiving instruction from Mu Qing.

"Yaoyao, I need your comfort!"

Watching her "husband" scurrying against her chest like a little piglet, Yuan Yao couldn't help but blush. Her good friend and senior were still watching. If she wanted it, she should at least go back to her room first!
Yuan Yao's gaze drifted towards Yanli and Mu Qing not far away. Sure enough, those two were smirking. No, that's not right. Yanli was indeed smiling, but why was Mu Qing looking so longing?

Having had his fill of pupae, Xiao Wuji lazily lay on top of Yuan Yao, seemingly with no intention of getting up. Unfortunately, Yuan Yao's face was already so red it could bleed, and it couldn't get any redder.

……

Two days later, Xiao Wuji came out of Mu Qing's cave. He had done nothing in the past two days except to sleep with Yuan Yao in his arms.

Compared to his hesitation two days ago, he is now much more determined. He still needs to cultivate the technique, as it is a path to the heavens!
As for resources? With the simulator, he believed he would eventually gather enough. If a hundred years wasn't enough, then a thousand; if a thousand years wasn't enough, then ten thousand!

The moment he completes the cultivation of his inner world, he will become a celestial being who transcends the Three Realms and is not bound by the Five Elements, unaffected by the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations. Even if the world is destroyed, he will not be greatly affected.

However, the only question now is whether his abyss miniature world is qualified!
According to the cultivation method, if the world is too small, after returning to chaos, it may cause a situation where the Chaos Fire cannot be generated. Without the Chaos Fire, further cultivation is basically out of the question, and one will be forever stuck in the "chaos" realm. "Forget it, at worst I'll just fill the abyss with more treasures as a foundation. As for the laws of heaven and earth, I'll just use the laws within the sacred weapons and the strange fire!"

To ensure a small world meets the requirements, one can place numerous treasures containing energy and laws within it before returning to the Void. Only in this way can the laws and energy be indirectly integrated into the world upon returning to the Void, thus strengthening its foundation.

"It's a pity that worlds can't be integrated with each other, and I don't have the ability to create another world within another world, otherwise I really would like to take over this Abyss!"

After some deliberation, Xiao Wuji began to pick and choose in the abyss.

Of course, he did not intend to refine the abyss now. After all, his current situation depended entirely on the help of the Six Desires Furnace. If he lost the Six Desires Furnace, who knew if Mu Qing and Madam Lan would kill him while he was cultivating?

However, he has accumulated quite a few treasures over the years, and some of them are useless even if he refines them, so it's better to transfer them out in advance.

Moreover, it would take at least a decade to complete the formation of the array that allows one to integrate a small world into their body.

Leave behind the top-tier refining materials that do not contain the laws of the Great Dao, leave behind the handy magic weapons, leave behind the immortal-grade sword pellets, leave behind the obedient woman, and leave behind the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Formation...

In addition, Xiao Wuji also planned to capture a group of powerful demonic beasts in this abyss and suppress them in the abyss's small world to serve as a foundation.

How about we cripple the six-legged creatures once we reach the River Styx and put them in? Or maybe add a few more golden mayflies? Or maybe a few more Mahayana... Let's forget about that, it's not worth it.

The abyss is a small world with a large population, so it is not easy to create another portable cave dwelling. After all, the spatial birdcage would have collapsed long ago without the support of willpower.

"Forget it, let's see if we can get another magical treasure cave!"

Having grown accustomed to the small world, Xiao Wuji could no longer look directly at spatial artifacts that required the power of will to maintain.

……

The Abyss, Fifth Layer!

Beside a volcano, Xiao Wuji stood with one hand behind his back and the other hand in front of him, making calculations.

"If we consider all the earth fire veins as dragon veins, then this place is where dragons gather, and it is also where the true dragon pearl is located. As long as we set up the Origin Technique Array, we can extract the fire attribute elemental energy from all the earth fire veins for our use!"

Xiao Wuji excitedly put down his fingers and raised his right hand, which was behind his back, to draw in front of him.

As he drew lines in the air with his fingertips, the primordial energy of heaven and earth continuously converged towards his fingertips.

Then, using heaven and earth as paper, primordial energy as ink, and laws as symbols, a talisman containing the laws of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was born.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then pressed down with one hand, and the talisman flew straight down and eventually sank into the depths of the lava.

He had witnessed the birth process of all the strange flames in the legacy of Emperor Tuoshe and comprehended all the laws within them, so he naturally knew how to create a strange flame.

The talisman he just drew was essentially an empty shell of a strange fire, containing only laws but no energy.

Once he sets up the Source Technique Array, gathering all the earth's ley line energy, the talisman will be rapidly filled with this energy, eventually transforming into a newly born strange fire.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, which originally required a thousand years to form, could likely be born in just ten years with the help of the Source Technique Array. However, the cost would be that the power of these earth fire veins would wither for countless years, or even be extinguished altogether.
