Body command feeding world

The vast spiritual aura of the Heavenly Realm descended upon them, far surpassing the gloomy and turbid Black Wind Ridge. The main peak of the Heavenly Realm stood at the heart of the world, with countless peaks paying homage. Amidst the surging sea of ​​clouds, jade palaces and pavilions could be seen floating in the sky, with spiritual light cascading down like waterfalls. Jade bells with flowing Daoist rhythms hung from the corners of the palaces, their clear and melodious sounds penetrating the very soul. The main peak was forged from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade and spiritual crystals, its surface wrapped with the primordial rules of the Heavenly Realm. From top to bottom, it exuded the majesty of ruling over all the Heavenly Realms. In the clouds and mist at the mountainside, one could vaguely see the trial light gate, the order-granting platform, and the evil-suppressing barrier, each imprinted with the supreme will of the Lord of the Heavenly Realm. At the foot of the mountain, a vast public area was spread out, with the reception platform, registration hall, mission pavilion, and exchange point arranged in order. Spirit and demon deacons moved about in an orderly manner, and the aura of the martial arts envoys was solemn and focused. No one dared to make a ruckus. The entire area was firmly bound by rules, orderly to the point of being rigid.

A white crane led Wu Wei to the high platform at the main peak's gate. A thousand jade steps led to the platform, flanked by deer-headed spirit demons whose armor gleamed with spiritual light. They wielded world-element spears, their gazes capable of piercing through ordinary disguises. Wu Wei lowered his eyes and concealed his aura. A disguise barrier woven from his own essence perfectly enveloped his body. The vast Daoist essence of the Perfect Body Token was locked deep within his Dao foundation; his outward aura was indistinguishable from that of a lowest-ranking preparatory martial arts master—a perfectly secret and utterly concealed secret.

"Enter the registration hall to verify your identity and enter your information into the grotto-heaven register." The white crane flapped its wings and cried softly, then retreated on its own to guide the next newcomer, without lingering for a moment.

Wu Wei stepped into the registration hall. The hall was sparsely furnished, except for a ten-foot-tall Mirror of Reality, its surface shimmering with golden-purple light. It could penetrate the physical body, discern the Dao foundation, and verify the authenticity of a Body Token; it was the most crucial detection object of the main peak. Before him, the old spirit demon's eyes were like cold stars, his voice indifferent and unwavering: "Raise your hand, activate the Body Token to touch the mirror, and do not conceal even the slightest aura."

He stepped forward as instructed, his fingertips lightly touching the mirror's surface. The simulated weakness of his body slowly seeped in, and the mirror flashed, revealing a line of standard lettering:

On September 27, 2009, the Three Elements were united, and the newly promoted Martial Body Envoy, though incomplete in his physical attributes, had a solid foundation in Dao. He passed the verification and was granted permission to choose his own private grotto-heaven.

The secrets of the flawless body, the pivotal origin, and the autonomous absorption of origins are completely isolated from the rules of the cave heaven. Even world-level treasures cannot detect the slightest abnormality.

The old man casually tossed over a Jade Talisman for Choosing Peaks, its surface engraved with a star map of the surrounding peaks: "Take this talisman to the Peak Choosing Platform and choose any unclaimed, solitary peak. Private caves are for closed-door cultivation only; evolution and the presence of living beings are strictly prohibited. This is the ironclad rule of the cave heavens. Failure to complete the Origin Trial within the specified time will result in immediate annihilation."

"I understand."

Wu Wei accepted the jade talisman and turned to walk to the suspended Peak Selection Platform. A star map unfolded on the platform, displaying hundreds of private peaks, some rich in spiritual energy, others with treacherous terrain, all solidified by the rules of the grotto-heaven, merely small, enclosed cultivation spaces. Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Shu's will, cold as ice, provided precise guidance:

Choosing the Thirty-Seventh Peak in the west, isolated and secluded, with a moderate concentration of spiritual energy, far from the detection range of the main peak, makes it the best choice for concealment. Your private cave evolved from the Flawless Body Token, a primordial microcosm independent of the rules of the cave heavens**, vastly different from the crumbling private caves of others.

With a light tap of his fingertip on the inconspicuous solitary peak on the star map, the jade talisman glowed faintly, and the private grotto was successfully bound.

The next moment, Wu Wei's mind sank into the private cave, and the scene before his eyes suddenly unfolded—

This was not a cramped, confined stone chamber like others, but a vast, boundless void. At its center hung a warm, primordial sphere of light, the very core of Shu and Wuque's Body Token. The ground was paved with spirit jade, spiritual energy flowing like mist. Above, suspended in the void, was an ancient, unadorned gate to an independent world, its surface engraved with spear-shadow patterns. At this moment, it was tightly closed and devoid of light. Shu's thoughts slowly explained:

This gate is not under the control of the master and does not require permission from the grotto heaven. Once the source is full, it can travel freely between realms to search for fragments of the world's source. It is a unique realm passage that no one else can possibly possess.

Beside the Gate of the World stood a nine-story jade pavilion, its plaque inscribed with "Pavilion of Primal Arts." The pavilion's spiritual light was subdued, concealing endless lineages of magical arts. Shu continued:

This pavilion is exclusively for you. All techniques are exchanged, cultivated, and advanced using the world's origin, without relying on the rewards of celestial realms or being subject to rules. The five major systems of Suppressing the Dao, Sealing the Dao, Healing the Dao, Movement Techniques, and Spear Dao are all contained within, their power increasing with the origin, and must never be easily revealed.

Wu Wei's mind stirred slightly, and his primordial microcosm trembled in response. He thought of the bamboo groves, wooden houses, bamboo paths, and threshing grounds of Qinglu Village, of that homeland that had once brought him temporary peace. As his thoughts wandered, spiritual light surged within his grotto—green bamboo groves rose from the ground, shrouded in morning mist, the earth carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees. Low walls and wooden houses took shape one after another, stone tables and benches, fenced vegetable gardens, and winding paths, exactly as he remembered Qinglu Village. The stream murmured, and birds sang softly; there was no chilling atmosphere, no malevolent spirits, only the warm tranquility of his homeland.

This is an evolution that only his original grotto-heaven could achieve, a miracle that no incomplete martial arts master in this world could even imagine. Their private caves are bound by the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, unable to change their appearance, unable to harbor life, and unable to evolve. But his grotto-heaven is a world that truly belongs to him, capable of accommodating life, shaping forms, and giving birth to all things.

Once the cave heaven stabilized, Wu Wei's mind returned to his physical body, and he turned and stepped into the official exchange area on the main peak. This was the only designated exchange point for supplies in the cave heaven. The counter was made of spirit crystal and displayed standard talismans, pills, and emergency treasures. All the martial arts envoys who came and went exchanged supplies in silence, without saying a word.

A burst of white light appeared in his palm, and several items instantly appeared on the jade platform: the evil bone crystal core accumulated from slaying the Silent Fox Tide, high-level evil treasures obtained from suppressing evil along the way, the primordial essence core of the Thousand-Legged Centipede Demon in the Black Rock Cave, and the Core Formed from Yin Sha. These items, which were considered treasures in Black Wind Ridge, were merely bargaining chips for him to exchange for trial materials.

The spirit servant in charge of inventory was slightly surprised and bowed, saying, "Your treasures are of considerable value and can be exchanged for life-saving items made according to the standards of the grotto-heaven."

Wu Wei spoke calmly, choosing only the standard, inconspicuous items needed for the trial: "Exchange for one talisman sword, one talisman shield, and ten spirit-restoring pills."

The talisman sword can attack from a distance and break through armor, the talisman shield can block fatal impacts, and the spirit-restoring pill can quickly replenish blood essence. These are all basic configurations for a prospective martial arts user, extremely ordinary, and would never attract any prying eyes.

The waiter quickly packed the supplies into a storage bag and handed it over. After Wu Wei accepted it, he turned around and quietly retreated to a secluded place, his mind once again sinking into his own primordial grotto.

Standing within the cave resembling Qinglu Village, the Gate to the World shimmered softly, and the Origin Art Pavilion opened its doors. Wu Wei looked at the sphere of primordial light that Shu had transformed into, and his thoughts stirred slightly: "I need to control the field and utilize movement techniques. My attacks will still primarily rely on the twin spears of marrow, without revealing my trump cards."

The sphere of light shone down, and Shu's will was gentle yet firm:

All your spells will be obtained by me using the power of the source. There is no need to rely on any special realm or be tainted by any curses. Everything is based on the source.

As the source of energy flowed, spiritual light surged on the first floor of the Spell Pavilion, and two ancient jade slips slowly floated before him. Their form was simple, their aura restrained, and they were no different from ordinary spells issued by the cave heaven.

Sealing the Dao - Six Staffs Bone Binding: Condenses six staffs of light with bone essence to bind the target's joints, resist poison and seal power, suitable for controlling the field in hard battles, without being ostentatious or eye-catching.

Movement Technique - Instant Strike Step: Bone energy pushes off the ground, a short-distance instant flash, a low-speed slide to evade impacts and poison attacks, speed is controllable, and extraordinary strength is never revealed.

Two jade slips sank into his brow, instantly imprinting the incantation and operational trajectory onto his soul. Without conscious effort, the power of his origin nourished him automatically, and he had already entered the initial stage. Shu's will once again illuminated the path ahead:

You are unaffected by the fivefold curse of the Martial Body Master, and require no assimilation of malevolent energy. Your cultivation, body command, grotto-heaven, spells, and spear skills will all be enhanced through the world's origin. The Dao-Suppressing, Dao-Healing, and high-level spear techniques can all be exchanged for origin in the Spells Pavilion. Your independent dimensional gate will one day allow you to traverse countless realms, collect endless origin, and break free from all constraints.

Wu Wei closed his eyes to comprehend the power of the sealing path, the swift trajectory of the Instant Step, and his own bone and blood essence perfectly merged. The twin spears, his marrow weapon, trembled slightly in his hands, forming a natural connection with the spell. He did not rush to cultivate, but instead walked slowly through the bamboo forest of Qinglu Village within the cave, his fingertips brushing against the bamboo branches, feeling the warmth and tranquility of this small world.

This is his escape route, his foundation, and a small world that holds all his top secrets.

The gate to the independent world awaits its opening. The Origin Art Pavilion holds countless inheritances. The appearance of Qinglu Village soothes the ferocity of battle. The flawless body token lies dormant in the dantian, coexisting with the spirit of the pivot, inseparable in life and death.

When he opened his eyes, there was no trace of emotion in them, only calmness and ruthlessness.

He stepped out of his own primordial cave and returned to the public area of ​​the main peak. He was still the same unremarkable, ordinary-looking, and mediocre prospective martial arts master, numbered 9527.

Unknown to anyone, his private cave is a primordial world capable of evolution, life, and traversal of various realms;

No one knew that his magic was not a gift from a grotto-heaven, but a supreme secret technique obtained by exchanging the origin of the world.

No one knows that he is not subject to the five curses, nor bound by the Heavenly Dao, making him the only anomaly in this world.

Suddenly, the bell of the main peak resounded, deep and majestic, echoing throughout the entire Shenling Cave Heaven:

"All newly recruited Martial Body Masters, proceed to the Trial Platform immediately for the first Origin Collection Trial."

Wu Wei gripped the talisman sword, talisman shield, and spirit-restoring pill in his arms, slung the marrow-enhanced double-edged spear diagonally behind his back, concealed his bone armor, and walked slowly toward the trial platform as usual.

Ahead lies the Origin Trial controlled by the Cave Heaven, a prison path for those with incomplete avatars.

His path lies among all realms, deep within the origin, in unbridled freedom.
