Chapter 874 Returning to the True Path
Perhaps it was because of the heart-to-heart conversation with Yue Hanzhang that had revealed all sorts of secrets that Su Yuan had also completely eliminated the negative emotions in her heart regarding the past grievances and causes.

Having found peace and relaxation, he had already returned to his hometown to explore his future path.

That's why.

The gazes that the cultivators had just cast upon them were filled with immense malice towards the people of the Lotus Palace and the Spirit Head Clan.

But this moment.

Instead, he ignored all of this and, as one of only two people here who understood the key to this realm of enlightenment, took the initiative to speak on behalf of Yue Hanzhang, explaining the various obstacles behind his different breakthrough process.

Almost the instant the words fell.

The Inner Realm Dao Lords standing in the desolate borderlands then revealed expressions of sudden realization.

After all, they also stand in the same inner realm, facing the constraints on the path ahead for hundreds and thousands of years. Anyone with a bit of ambition has explored the constraints on the path ahead to some extent in the past years.

They understood exactly what this bottleneck was.

Su Yuan's words were more like indirect evidence, and like Yue Hanzhang's personal account, they could only serve to corroborate each other's own experiences.

And after this.

At the very edge of the limit of sight, the ancestral kings nodded in succession, as if they had gained something.

Su Yuan himself may not have been able to gain the trust of the ancestral kings.

However, the genuine Daoist aura of the fourth level of the Inner Realm that was also born in Su Yuan and Yue Hanzhang at this moment was quite convincing.

Yes.

Su Yuan is the last descendant of the human race, whose history has been passed down through the entire Zhuse Lianfu. It embodies the essence of a mysterious and powerful force and is further sublimated within the unique body of the Lingshou clan.

Yue Hanzhang is the highest peak in terms of talent and genius in the entire Human Race Alliance. The great things he has done and the great achievements he has made are all things that no one has ever done before.

Such are the two of them.

Its form, spirit, and profound understanding of Taoism surpass all other practitioners throughout history.

Such exaggerated achievements seem to be worthy of their actions.

He is stronger than himself, and stronger than all the previous Inner Realm Dao Lords.

This is already an indisputable fact.

But the next moment.

Accompanied by the fourth true yang sun condensed by the [All-Seeing Eye], it perfectly merged and became one with the inner world.

Just as Yue Hanzhang's Daoist aura had soared into the fourth level of the Inner Realm and had just grasped and stabilized all the changes, the moment his Daoist aura stabilized.

Within that realm of illusion and reality, which all cultivators can witness.

Originating from the [Nine Palaces Change of Form], the fifth round of True Yang Great Sun, carrying a supreme true scripture and a natural scripture, smoothly and silkily fell into Yue Hanzhang's world of form and spirit once again, guided by the force of attraction!
boom--

Like thunder and fireworks intertwining, the primordial essence of Taoism and the essence of form and spirit collided, and the unified sound exploded once again.

In that instant, Yue Hanzhang's cultivation level steadily rose another level.

The Five Heavens of the Inner Realm!
this moment.

Su Yuan's expression remained calm.

After all, although he was at the fourth level of the Inner Realm, theoretically he still had room in his physical and spiritual world to accommodate further advancement.

It was simply because he did not want to clashed with the constraints of the Dao path, so he voluntarily stopped at the fourth level.

Although this reflects his utilization of the unique advantages of the Spirit-Headed Clan's physical body.

However, when Su Yuan glimpsed Yue Hanzhang's nine-dragon gauze robe in the past, he knew that what Yue Hanzhang had refined with the secret method was not only his own thunder and fire cultivation, but also his physical and spiritual origins.

This is someone who is on par with you in every aspect.

Therefore, it is only natural to explore the limits of a path similar to one's own.

but.

Su Yuan instinctively revealed a look of anticipation at this moment.

It seems that after reaching the fifth level of the Heavenly Realm, it will be the moment when Yue Hanzhang clashes with the constraints of the Dao.

He was also looking forward to everything that was about to happen.

after all.

He may understand those principles perfectly, but theory is one thing, and witnessing someone break free from constraints and achieve success right before his eyes, verifying it with real experience, is another matter entirely.

But the next moment.

This expectant expression, and the smile that appeared on Su Yuan's face after she completely relaxed.

Everything froze on his face.

Because at this moment, they are under the watchful eyes of Su Yuan.

Even as Yue Hanzhang stood at the fifth level of the Inner Realm, the growth of his Daoist aura continued unabated.

soon.

It still follows the same frequency as before.

The sixth true yang sun, with the [Six Harmonies Cloud Robe] as its core, was suddenly pulled by the "gravity" of the inner world and fell from the realm of reality into Yue Hanzhang's physical and spiritual world.

boom--

This resounding boom not only shook the heavens and earth as usual, but also deeply moved the minds of all the cultivators.

what does this mean?
Even if there is no way to break the shackles on the road ahead.

Following the path of past sages, Yue Hanzhang pressed forward with his head down and steadily attained the sixth level of the Inner Realm!

His foundation is far superior to that of all the other cultivators!

In essence, he is the truly eternal mountain that can overlook all living beings in this world!

Su Yuan fell into a heartfelt silence filled with mixed emotions.

In terms of offensive techniques, he had already rivaled Yue Hanzhang. Having mastered two Great Dao Laws, he was no match for Yue Hanzhang, who was still at the peak of the Outer Realm.

Regarding their understanding of Taoist principles and cultivation, after explaining various secrets, he failed to set a trap for Yue Hanzhang and instead received guidance from Yue Hanzhang on a key point. This was not a dispute, but it was still possible to distinguish between them in the details.

And now.

Yue Hanzhang rushed straight to the sixth level of the Inner Realm in one breath.

This proves in fact that Yue Hanzhang's essence as a living being far surpasses that of himself.

The arrogance they once had as survivors of the Great Thousand Worlds, when facing the natives of the Spiritless World, has completely vanished at this moment.

And immediately after.

Under the complex gaze of Su Yuan.

at last.

The moment Yue Hanzhang's cultivation level reached the peak of the sixth level of the Inner Realm.

That ever-increasing process of advancement in realm only came to an abrupt end.

Fortunately.

Even Yue Hanzhang has his limits; he is bound by constraints.

this moment.

On the contrary, Su Yuan, who knew the secrets of the Daoist path, was the first to breathe a sigh of relief at this moment.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all cultivators in the world, Yue Hanzhang, who had touched the shackles of the Dao path, made a move the instant the aura of the Dao abruptly stopped.

With a flick of his hand.

The Nine Orifices Jade Bead, which had been completely free of extraordinary radiation, was held in Yue Hanzhang's palm.

Meanwhile, Yue Hanzhang's gaze fell upon the realm that blended reality and illusion, but in truth, he was looking at another layer upon another, a tranquil world that only he could perceive. This was as one Dao-realm world after another coalesced into an inner world.

The more powerful Yue Hanzhang's physical and spiritual qualities are, the stronger the "gravity" they exert on the mechanical brain.

It was as if it were the will of Heaven.

Or perhaps it is inherently in accordance with some kind of Taoist principle.

The moment Yue Hanzhang finally reached the sixth level of the Inner Realm and touched the cage.

The combined traction force finally shook the mechanical brain itself in that instant!
In an instant.

This great sun, shining with a constant purple-gold radiance, fell into Yue Hanzhang's physical and spiritual world, into his inner realm, in an instant before any cultivator could perceive it.

It then transformed into a purple-gold heavenly fire that descended upon the world, falling directly into Yue Hanzhang's inner primordial spirit.

Swah——

It was accompanied by a crisp sound of something cutting through the air.

When the sky was filled with purple-gold radiance, it burst forth and illuminated all things within the inner landscape, and then in an instant, it contracted into the inner landscape's primordial spirit.

When Yue Hanzhang looked again...

Above the sky full of thunderclouds, in the open heavenly palace.

Yue Hanzhang's inner spiritual realm, seated cross-legged on a lotus platform, still appeared somewhat ethereal at this moment, reflecting the scene within his mechanical mind—

It "occupied" the brain of the inner primordial spirit, and more than a million intelligent mechanical embryos were thus constructed into a lifelike brain shape.

as if……

It wasn't as if it was "occupying" the mechanical mind, but rather that it was meant to be at this moment all along.

It is not an external object!
In his previous life, when Yue Hanzhang's lifeblood was spilled across those mechanical creations, when they turned into fragments, sheltering his soul as it crossed the line between life and death.

In the midst of a true miracle of life, this mechanical brain itself had long since become an undeniable part of Yue Hanzhang's form and spirit.

And it transcends the barriers of life and death, and the barriers between the two worlds of past and present lives.

It's impossible to avoid paying a price.

then.

That mechanical brain, once a miracle of creation, was thus entrusted as part of its own life to a unique spacetime interlayer between heaven and earth.

The process of Yue Hanzhang's cultivation, the process of Yue Hanzhang nourishing it with all kinds of laws, and the process of Yue Hanzhang lighting up one intelligent mechanical Great Evolution Spirit Embryo after another, is the process of redeeming a part of his own physical and spiritual origin from the world.

I never cheated.

Or perhaps it's the past self that's giving the present self a boost.

Long before this Ninefold Dao Realm, Yue Hanzhang had already reflected a part of his life essence into the world, interacting with nature.

now.

Its return represents the completion of its original form and spirit, and the supreme merit of the myriad laws that once enlightened the Great Evolutionary Spirit Embryo of the Intelligent Machine has, in this instant, become a part of its original form in a physical form.

In an instant, his profound understanding of Taoism soared to an unprecedented level!
From the depths of the darkness, a faint, fragmented sound arose.

That was the sound of the cage ahead crumbling.

but.

This is not enough.

The plan for a "ballast" requires not only a sufficient increase in the foundation of Taoist principles, but also a sufficient increase in the essence of form and spirit.

It was at this moment.

Yue Hanzhang flipped his hand without hesitation.

He held the nine-aperture jade bead in his palm and pressed it directly to his brow.

Login time.

As the flames of the Daoist magic erupted, the nine-aperture jade bead that sealed the source of extraordinary power instantly transformed into a streak of crimson light and directly vanished into its own Daoist realm.

"Heavenly fire" fell from the sky once again.

Along with this crimson light, it also merged into the inner realm of the primordial spirit, not to be outdone.

In an instant.

Yue Hanzhang felt that every inch of his blood and qi was growing wildly, as if he were a mortal in his weakest state, suddenly rising to become a martial artist, a transcendent foundation cultivator, a nine-character golden core cultivator, a king among ancestors, and even a Dao Lord in the blink of an eye!

Every wisp of qi and blood has undergone an unprecedented surge!

and.

It's not just one's own blood and energy that are surging.

At this moment, the magic power truly felt what boundless and vastness meant.

It should be understood that the various Saint Realms and the lotus flying saucers have been drawing energy from the source of extraordinary power for hundreds and thousands of years without being able to deplete even a fraction of their power.

That's because, as a wicked dragon that was once slain, as a creature nurtured in the chaotic sea.

Its flesh and blood are naturally the source of its surging power.

That extraordinary power never emanated from its remaining flesh and blood.

Flesh and blood are merely a "gateway".

It is the power of the boundless and limitless chaotic sea that is emerging out of thin air, using this piece of flesh and blood as a channel and a natural filter!

This is why.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

The death of one living being can bring about the renewal of a vast world.

And this moment.

This is a creature trait that was once unique to the evil dragon.

As Yue Hanzhang's inner primordial spirit refined this purified source of extraordinary power, it immediately became a unique spiritual quality that was in harmony with Yue Hanzhang's physical and spiritual origins!
The immense power of the Chaos Sea, after undergoing natural selection of the characteristics of living beings, evolved from disorder into order, transforming into an endless torrent of energy, which was born out of thin air in Yue Hanzhang's inner world!

The world has not expanded.

However, in an instant, the concentration of energy was incomparable to that of the past.

A massive shower of colorful, radiant light fell from the sky.

In an instant, all the laws of nature and phenomena still exist.

However, the torrential rain of light had already transformed Yue Hanzhang's entire inner world into a vast expanse of light and rain!

Everything in the universe, everything with form, is being nourished, soaked, and permeated by a massive amount of extraordinary power at this moment!

at the same time.

Within Yue Hanzhang's inner primordial spirit, pure crimson light and pure purple-gold radiance alternately reflected within that increasingly solid inner primordial spirit.

That is the Daoist foundation originating from the mechanical mind, and the Qi and Blood power, which is the source of extraordinary power, vying for control of the inner primordial spirit.

Even as the radiance alternated, under the illumination of different radiances, Yue Hanzhang's gradually solidifying inner spirit also revealed different essential characteristics.

Sometimes its entire body resembles a mechanical creation, and at other times it looks like a naturally formed crimson jade.

at the same time.

Click——click——click——

The sound of the path and its confines crumbling little by little became increasingly clear and resonant.

Form and spirit? Or the Daoist method?
Neither of these two will be the controller of Yue Hanzhang's inner primordial spirit!
The one who truly controls Yue Hanzhang's inner spirit is the power that unifies form, spirit, and Dao. That unified and true origin is the controller of everything!
Then, in the blink of an eye.

All the cultivators saw it clearly: Yue Hanzhang placed a Glazed Nine-Seal Golden Pill between his eyebrows without hesitation!
