Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

Inside the Xuanzun Hall, time seemed to stand still.

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, his mind as calm as still water. The Nine-Turn Golden Core within his body circulated slowly, and strands of faith power, like sweet rain, silently permeated the Dao patterns of the Golden Core, propelling his already near-perfect foundation of the Great Dao towards deeper refinement. This improvement, though slow, was steadfast and continuous, giving him a feeling of being rooted in fertile soil, constantly absorbing nourishment.

However, just as he was immersed in this subtle and mysterious process of growth, a kind of throbbing, different from the convergence of faith and originating from the very source of his life, quietly emerged.

At first, it was just a ripple deep within his soul, like a pebble thrown into an ancient well. But soon, the ripple spread out, transforming into a strong, indescribable sense of attraction. It was as if, in the infinite distance beyond his perception, there existed countless twinkling stars, and some of them were resonating with a certain frequency within him, issuing a silent summons.

It is the power of projection from all the heavens!

This mysterious talent, which had accompanied him since the beginning of his transmigration and helped him overcome countless crises, finally underwent a qualitative change after he achieved the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and his life essence underwent a tremendous transformation!

Lin Xuan felt a slight stirring in his heart. He did not resist the pull, but instead focused part of his mind on it, carefully sensing the familiar yet unfamiliar changes.

In an instant, his "perspective" changed.

It was no longer the silence of the Xuanzun Palace, nor the myriad forms of life on Kunwu Star under the cover of divine thought. His consciousness seemed to transcend the constraints of his physical body, leaping to a higher dimension, a "void" that could not be described in words.

In this "void," it was no longer the passive, vague perception and random projection of the past. He "saw" countless bizarre and varied "bubbles" or "orbs of light," like stars in the universe, densely packed, floating and twinkling, each radiating a unique aura and fluctuations of laws.

These are the microcosms of all the heavens and myriad worlds!

In the past, he was like a blindfolded traveler, randomly thrown into some world. But now, he has opened his eyes, holds a map, and has the initial right to choose his destination!

His consciousness, like an invisible tentacle, cautiously reached out towards those shimmering "world light clusters".

The worlds closest to him and most clearly perceived by him were several relatively "weak" worlds. One exuded pure battle aura and the fluctuations of the laws of fire, its level was not high, but its energy was active (similar to a low-martial, high-magic plane); another was lifeless, filled with the aura of decay and the dead (a low-level undead world); and yet another was technologically advanced, with a mental network covering the entire globe (a mid-level technological civilization).

These worlds hold little value for him now. Unless certain resources are required, the time and effort invested yields returns that are disproportionate to the risks.

His consciousness transcended these "neighbors" and ventured deeper into the "void," into worlds where the light was more intense, and the aura more ancient or eerie.

Soon, several powerful "orbs of light" caught his attention.

One of them, its entire body a blood-red and chaotic dark purple, twisted and writh, emanating a mind-numbing whisper of madness and an indescribable sense of oppression. Even a slight approach of consciousness could sense a malicious intent attempting to corrupt and assimilate any external will.

"A Cthulhu-themed world..." Lin Xuan immediately made his judgment. This world is of an extremely high level and has an extremely high danger factor. The chaotic origin and the power of the Great Old Ones contained within it may be helpful for him to understand the rules of "chaos," but entering it rashly would easily lead to getting lost.

His consciousness marked this dangerous yet alluring coordinate, then turned to another.

The other "orb of light" emanated a pure, ultimate fluctuation of the law of "force"! The entire world seemed to be composed of power; mountains, rivers, grass, trees, and stars all contained explosive power. In the shadows, one could almost see towering giants battling on the earth, their blood and energy surging to the heavens, shaking the universe.

"A world where strength proves the Dao? Or... the world of the Primordial Witch Clan?" Lin Xuan's mind raced. This world held immense appeal for him in comprehending the Dao of "strength" and forging his physical body. Dangers were present, but they were mostly direct clashes of power rather than eerie mental pollution.

His consciousness continued to explore.

The third "orb of light" that caught his attention had the most peculiar aura. It was not static, but constantly "born and died"! One part was flourishing and evolving into all things, while the other part was rapidly decaying and returning to stillness. Life and death, creation and destruction, two diametrically opposed laws reached a dynamic and eerie balance there.

"A place of life and death, or a great world undergoing an era of change?" Lin Xuan sensed the immense power of creation and destruction contained within, which had immeasurable reference value for his Dao patterns of "life" and "annihilation".

Besides these three most eye-catching ones, there are several other worlds with auras that are either sacred, eerie, or a fusion of technological laws, each exuding a strong aura and possessing its own unique characteristics.

Actively choose and anchor your coordinates!

This is the greatest benefit brought about by the qualitative change in the ability to project into the heavens! He can choose the projected worlds in a targeted manner according to his own cultivation needs, and obtain the most needed resources and insights, making him far more efficient than before!

Moreover, he also vaguely sensed that as his cultivation level improved, especially as his understanding of the laws of space and void deepened, he might not only be able to choose worlds in the future, but also interfere with the projection process to a certain extent, such as extending the stay time, or even... conducting limited material or energy interactions?

This thought gave him a slight jolt. If it were truly so, the myriad worlds would no longer be simple training grounds or resource points for him, but rather a "backyard" that he could cultivate and harvest from!

After a brief surge of emotion, Lin Xuan regained his composure. He knew that every step had to be taken one at a time. The most important thing now was to utilize this new ability to quickly increase his strength. The Tian Shu Sect would never give up; beyond the Xuan Tian Star Domain lay a vaster world and even stronger enemies.

His consciousness flowed across those powerful world coordinates.

The Cthulhu universe is dangerous and bizarre, so it's not the first choice for now. The world of reincarnation is infinitely mysterious, but the laws involved are too profound, and more preparation may be needed. The world filled with ultimate "power" seems to be the most suitable choice for the current stage.

Although his Dao of "Power" occupies a core position among the eight Dao patterns, it still has great potential for development. If he can draw upon the source of power in that world and observe or even participate in the most primal and violent clashes of power, it will surely allow his Dao of "Power" to advance further, thereby enhancing his overall combat strength.

"Then choose this realm."

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. His consciousness, like a precise arrow, firmly locked onto the world light cluster radiating pure power fluctuations. An "anchor" containing his own divine soul imprint and the Daoist essence of the Nine Revolutions Golden Core crossed endless void dimensions and was silently cast towards that world.

"Buzz—"

A pulling force several times stronger than any previous projection came, and his main consciousness began to blur. A part of his divine sense, along the newly established "anchor," was projected toward that unknown world where power reigned supreme.

Inside the Xuanzun Hall, his physical body remained seated cross-legged, his breath steady, as if he had entered a deep state of meditation. Only a trace of increasingly condensed Daoist power, seemingly capable of crushing the void, occasionally flowed around him, indicating that this projection might bring unexpected gains.
