Chapter 544 The Evolution of the Heavens, the Embryo of the Three Realms

"Is he free to transform himself?"

The main body sat cross-legged in the waterfall pool, while the divided spirit once again entered the Great Freedom Heaven.

Only at this moment did Li Boyang fully demonstrate the power of [Wandering Spirit and Controlling Qi].

This is to unleash the full potential of one's primordial spirit.

It truly achieves the Heavenly Divine Power of Dividing into Myriad Formations and Arriving in an Instant.

Especially in the Great Free Heaven evolved from the Alaya Consciousness Sea, Li Boyang truly achieved a spiritual journey through the heavens.

—With a thought, the ends of the earth become near, all demons tremble, and all evil submits.

Even though Mara chose to remain completely silent under these circumstances, Li Boyang still managed to find his "weakness".

tumultuous!
At this moment, the Great Lord Shiva fully manifested.

Those demon kings who had hidden themselves in the mortal world beforehand were trembling with fear.

Because the Great Free Heaven is different from the secret realms and grotto heavens opened up by other great gods.

Although it is not large in scale now, it is essentially a "seed of the world" equivalent to the mortal world and the underworld.

As time goes by and the path evolves, the Great Free Heaven will eventually evolve into a complete, independent world with a positive cycle.

At that time, Shiva will truly be equal to the present world and the netherworld, becoming the third world.

As for why the Great Free Heaven is so special.

If we really look into it, there are actually many reasons.

First and foremost, without a doubt, is the "power of Wushan" that Zhuang Zhou stole.

The essence of the Wushan Cauldron is the Mind Barrier left behind by the second Witch King, a supreme power capable of transforming the fake into the real.

With the power of the [Wushan Cauldron], the Ten Witches of Lingshan can even shield Li Boyang's senses and divination abilities.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the Wushan Cauldron may not be the strongest of the Nine Cauldrons, but it must be the most special and mysterious of them.

Secondly, there was the fall of Zhuangzi.

Yes, although Zhuangzi used the method of proving the Dao in a dream to bring the dream into reality.

But if we really look into it, the original Zhuang Zhou had indeed passed away, which is why Mara fell into silence.

The fall of a single enlightened being is enough to establish the "immortal and unborn" nature of Shiva.

Just like the [City of the Heavenly Emperor] where the Heavenly Emperor fell.

"Eternal existence" will become the fundamental attribute of this type of secret realm.

However, the key to the transformation of the Great Free Heaven from the Secret Realm into the "Seed of the World" was the intervention of Li Boyang, the Dao Ancestor.

In fact, Li Boyang had been pondering a question for a long time—how did the mortal world and the underworld come into being?
These two worlds, one in life and one in death, are like the two sides of yin and yang.

But beneath this seemingly perfect surface, Li Boyang discerned a sharp contradiction and conflict.

Especially after the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation system, the two worlds have long since permeated and influenced each other, and a slight misstep could easily trigger a world-class calamity.

In this situation, there must be a strong buffer zone between the present world and the underworld.

There is a well-known fact in mathematics that the triangle is always the most stable shape.

This principle still applies on a global scale.

In order to maintain the balance between Yin and Yang in the long term, is it possible to artificially create a third, or even more, worlds?

This approach may not fundamentally solve the problem of how disasters occur, but it can maximize the margin for error.

The appearance of the Great Free Heaven was an opportunity, an opportunity for Li Boyang to attempt to evolve the heavens.

Therefore, during this period, rather than searching for the demon Bo Xun, it would be more accurate to say that Li Boyang was contemplating how to create a new world.

Only when he was completely certain of the feasibility of his hypothesis did he spare some energy to search for the demon Mara.

Since the goal is to create countless heavens, such a significant destabilizing factor cannot be ignored.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Boyang once again manifested the form of the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

Just like when the [Creation Jade Disc] was created, the blazing Eight Trigrams Furnace appeared out of thin air in the center of the world.

tumultuous!
The Samadhi Fire in the furnace transformed from solid to ethereal, turning the entire Great Freedom Heaven a fiery red.

In the subconscious of all living beings, everyone seemed to see that familiar cauldron.

Among them, those demon kings who have escaped into the mortal world see this most clearly. For the vast majority of people, the Samadhi Fire in their subconscious is merely a fleeting illusion.

Some people didn't even have time to see what it was before they were distracted and missed it.

Only those demon kings who exist between the Great Free Heaven and the present world.

As if personally experiencing the Samadhi Fire surging from the Bagua Furnace, it couldn't help but let out a miserable wail.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Marsh, why don't you show yourself?"

Ignoring the feelings of the demon kings, Li Boyang simply stared calmly at the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Then it was as if in response to Li Boyang's words.

The Samadhi True Fire within the Eight Trigrams Furnace suddenly surged, revealing a terrifying face.

The face was neither human nor beast, but its head had a pair of huge, curved horns.

After it manifested its form, a golden halo and flame patterns faintly appeared behind it, and unformed flame snakes surrounded its body.

"How did you find me?"

Even though he was trapped in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Mara showed no sign of panic.

“You are too greedy, so greedy that you have even gone against the original purpose of the creation of ‘Mahamaya’…”

While Bo Xun seemed to be deep in thought, Li Boyang continued.

"The demon kings are your incarnations, and all living beings are your furnace, yet you have even spread your will throughout the entire Great Free Heaven."

"You want to become the 'path' of the Great Free Heaven?"

"No wonder you call yourself the Heavenly Demon. Such boldness and courage are truly astonishing."

As Li Boyang said, while Zhuangzi's influence certainly played a part in Mara's silence, wasn't it also a deliberate choice on his part?
Taking advantage of the lull between Zhuang Zhou's death and his own severe injury, Mara spread his will throughout the entire Great Free Heaven.

He wanted to replace the rules governing the Great Free Heaven with his own will and become the "Great Way" of this world.

In this process, the Wushan Cauldron, which was able to transform a fake into a genuine artifact, played a crucial role.

Or rather, if it weren't for the power of the Wushan Cauldron hidden within the Great Free Heaven, Mara would never have dared to take such a desperate gamble.

"I am merely following the path you did not complete!"

After a brief silence, Mara's booming voice echoed in the heavens above.

"You clearly have the ability to become the Heavenly Dao and rule over all living beings..."

"Yet, for the sake of that elusive path to transcendence, they gave up becoming the Heavenly Dao, which reigns above all living beings."

"Although I do not have your abilities, this Great Free Heaven is not the present world either. I will replicate the path you did not finish here!"

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang laughed, a laugh that was relaxed yet tinged with contempt.

"As a believer, it is rather pathetic that you spend your whole life imitating the paths of others."

"Zhuang Zhou attempted to attain enlightenment and transform the false into the true in a dream, thereby achieving the carefree state of being alone."

“You imitate his path, but greedily want to turn everything into your own, turning great freedom into other-transformed freedom.”

"Similarly, you are trying to imitate my process of proving the Dao, but you are unwilling to give up a sliver of hope."

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one has been omitted. Do you think this is just a moment of mercy on my part?"

Seeing Bo Xun's slightly surprised expression, Li Boyang continued to smile.

"No, if all cause and effect in this world are locked in place..."

"Then there are no variables, and without variables there is no vitality, and without vitality there is only death."

“You are just building a rigid, rule-bound, lifeless prison; that is not the true way of the Creator.”

"Zhuang Zhou thought you were his inner demon, an extremely evil personality that emerged after he repeatedly attained enlightenment."

"But in my opinion, you are not Zhuang Zhou at all."

"Do you think my guess is right? A heretic who's always trying to take shortcuts?"
