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

At the core of the Netherworld, the source of the Yellow Springs, Lin Xuan had been in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, for an unknown period of time. The power of the entire Netherworld slowly rotated around him, forming an invisible, enormous vortex. Profound yellow energy surged, and the Dao of Reincarnation roared. The high-hanging Mirror of Judgment focused its cold light on him, while six illusory figures flickered behind him, as if demonstrating the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, especially condensing an unprecedented "Transcendent Spirit of Reincarnation," is no easy feat. It is a perilous process of fusing one's own path, will, and power into one, undergoing a fundamental sublimation. The slightest mistake could lead to the dissipation of the Nascent Soul, the annihilation of the soul, and eternal damnation.

Lin Xuan's mind completely immersed himself in his body, guiding the massive amount of energy to undergo the deepest fusion with his nascent soul and divine spirit. He could feel a more advanced and profound life form slowly taking shape—the embryonic form of his primordial spirit. However, the process was slower and more difficult than he had anticipated.

"Reincarnation" and "Transcendence," though both fundamental concepts, subtly possess an inherent tension and repulsion. Reincarnation demands order, inclusiveness, and operation; transcendence pursues freedom, breaking free, and surpassing. The greatest challenge in condensing the primordial spirit lies in perfectly integrating these two seemingly contradictory qualities, rather than simply piecing them together.

He needs more "nourishment," not just energy, but also a profound understanding of different laws, different orders, and even different times and spaces, to act as a binder and catalyst to promote the completion of this final fusion.

At this crucial moment of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, a long-lost throbbing sensation originating from the very source of the soul quietly arrived.

It was neither an invasion by foreign enemies nor an internal upheaval, but rather his innate supernatural ability—the automatic perception of the projection of all heavens!

Since his cultivation level had risen significantly, especially after he condensed his Nascent Soul and took control of the Netherworld, ordinary low-dimensional, low-magic worlds had become less likely to resonate with his projections, and the improvements they could bring were negligible. But this newly emerging sensation was completely different!

The "coordinates" it emitted were ethereal and distant, as if located in an extremely ancient and unique interdimensional space within the universe. That fluctuation was not simply energy or life force, but rather a... flowing aura of strange laws containing the rhythms of time and destiny!

"The origin of time...the world related to it?" During his deep seclusion, Lin Xuan spared a wisp of his mind to capture this feeling, a hint of surprise and understanding flashing in his eyes.

Time is one of the most fundamental and mysterious laws constituting the universe, standing alongside space as the foundation of all things. Even a powerful immortal might not be able to truly grasp the profound mysteries of the laws of time. If one could project oneself onto a world related to the origin of time, even just to grasp its superficial aspects, it could be of immeasurable help in understanding "reincarnation" (which itself involves the flow of time) and "transcendence" (which, to some extent, is also a breakthrough from the constraints of time), and even in completing the final condensation of one's primordial spirit!

This is like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy—just the right time!

"Indeed, the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and man escapes one. This projection of the heavens is my 'escape one,' one of the most important opportunities on my path!" Lin Xuan understood.

He didn't abandon this sensing while trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. At his current level, multitasking was already commonplace. Moreover, this projection might very well be a crucial component of his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage!

"Then let my divided spirit travel to that source of time, to retrieve for my true self this final... finishing touch!"

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated. He endured the immense burden brought about by the fusion of his primordial spirit and separated an incomparably condensed divine avatar containing a portion of his own true meaning of reincarnation and transcendent thoughts. Although this avatar did not possess much power, it carried his most core perceptions and enlightenment abilities.

At the same time, he activated the dormant Transcendence Mark within his body. This mark, projected from the primordial era, is profound and mysterious, and might help him better locate and infiltrate that special world.

"With a transcendent will, I sense all realms!" "Projection... Descends!"

hum!

The Transcendence Mark emitted a hazy, clear light, resonating mysteriously with the fluctuations of the time laws emanating from the darkness. The divine consciousness avatar that Lin Xuan had separated, enveloped by the Transcendence Mark's clear light, instantly became illusory, as if it had broken free from the constraints of the current spacetime, projecting itself along an invisible line of cause and effect and dimension towards the source of the sensation!

This projection process was completely different from the past. It was no longer a simple spatial journey, but rather as if we were traversing a river composed of countless flowing fragments of time! The surrounding scenery was bizarre and colorful, sometimes showing the birth of stars, sometimes the rise and fall of civilizations, sometimes the twilight of heroes, sometimes the white hair of beautiful women... Countless silhouettes of time rushed by, containing a heart-palpitating sense of vicissitude and impermanence.

I don't know how long I traveled through time; it felt like an instant, yet also like ten thousand years.

When the surrounding dazzling light suddenly stabilized, Lin Xuan's divine avatar had already descended into a completely new world.

He "looked" around.

This is no ordinary place. There are no sun, moon, or stars, no mountains or rivers, and not even a clear distinction between earth and sky.

As far as the eye can see, there is a boundless, slowly flowing ocean of light. This ocean is composed of countless fine, dazzling, and ever-changing grains of sand of time, exuding an extremely rich aura of the laws of time. Rivers, some turbulent and some gentle, formed by the pure power of time, crisscross and flow endlessly in this ocean of light.

Along some "riverbanks," one can vaguely see strange "islands" or "land" that seem to be formed from frozen time, on which there seem to be some ancient relics or dormant wills.

Further away, deep within the Sea of ​​Light, stood several incomparably majestic and ancient phantom towers! These towers were formed entirely from the laws of time, their bodies bound by chains of fate, their tops disappearing into the endless void, as if they were the hub and pillar of the entire Sea of ​​Light!

"Is this... the Rift of Time? Or the original world formed from the time authority of some ancient being after its fall?" Lin Xuan's divine sense avatar felt the omnipresent power of time here and was shocked.

He could sense that the flow of time here was completely different from that of the outside world, and utterly chaotic. A single step outside might mean a thousand years had passed in the outside world; conversely, remaining here for ten thousand years might mean only a fleeting moment in the outside. For him, who needed a stable environment to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, this was a tremendous risk, but also... an unparalleled opportunity!

If he can comprehend the true meaning of time here and integrate it into his own path of reincarnation and transcendence, then the primordial spirit he is currently condensing will surely become more perfect and more powerful!

"At this very moment, in this very place, using this very source of time as a whetstone, I...have finally completed the fusion of my primordial spirit!"

Lin Xuan's divine avatar no longer hesitated. It found a relatively stable area where the river of time flowed gently, and, simulating the state of his original self, began to activate the laws of time in this place. It used these laws to reference, verify, and even... devour the laws of time with his own understanding of reincarnation and transcendence!

Meanwhile, the true self, far away in the underworld, also received a continuous stream of profound information about the origin of time through the perception and feedback of this avatar. The stagnant process of primordial spirit fusion finally began to slowly advance again, becoming even more profound and mysterious…

New projections bring new opportunities.

At the source of time, comprehend the true meaning of reincarnation and forge a transcendent soul!
