Hermit in the Mountains

Gu Changsheng frowned deeply and gave a surprised "hmm".

His eyes snapped open, a look of surprise on his face, as he glanced left and right at the World Pearl and the Treasure Token in his hands.

He tried again, and a feeling crept into his mind that the fusion of the Withering and Flourishing Treasure Token and the World Pearl would fail.

He muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be happening!?"

"Both the Treasure Token and the World Pearl are natal artifacts; a grotto-heaven inherently needs to integrate various laws to advance into the world's laws."

"Integrating with the virtual world and the laws of the soul should have been advantageous, so why did it fail?"

Why is there a warning of failure in the unseen realm?

Gu Changsheng suddenly caught a glimpse of the Investiture of the Gods, the Emperor's Seal, and the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls on his left side, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.

With a thought, he entered the Dao Tree Origin Space, carrying the Withering and Flourishing Treasure Token, the Withering and Flourishing World Pearl, and the Pure World White Lotus.

With his mind focused, the illusory true spirit opened its eyes, the World Pearl suspended above its head and the Treasure Token hovering in front of it.

The true spirit sat cross-legged inside the Pure White Lotus, the petals slowly closing.

With one mind and three functions, one can stimulate the pure white lotus of the world and the pearl of the world's flourishing and decaying essence.

The Primordial Purification Array is deployed, the World Pearl conceals the power of heavenly secrets, and the power of the world is fully unleashed.

The physical body, the Dao Tree, the primordial space, the innate grand formation, the concealment of heavenly secrets, and the world barrier—layers of power isolate external factors.

Gu Changsheng attempted to integrate the Withering and Flourishing Treasure Token into the World Pearl once again.

This time, there was no ominous warning.

The Withering and Flourishing Treasure Token slowly merged into the World Pearl, and the Virtual Laws and Soul Laws returned to the sea like dragons returning to the ocean.

A new spring emerged next to the original spiritual spring, gushing out liquid with a 'glug glug' sound.

A space emerged from the cave world, and illusory chains grew on its boundary walls;

One, two... there were a total of ten illusory chains;

Illusory chains connect the two sides of the space, with ten chains intersecting in the center, as if nurturing some special power.

The World Pearl seemed to have become more spiritual.

Outside, a transparent funnel appeared above the Hall of Longevity, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into the hall;

The energy from the inner veins of Mount Kurong surged into the primordial space along Gu Changsheng's feet.

All users within the Spirit Network and the Dao Realm were ruthlessly kicked out.

Countless laws and fortunes of the Great Dao were drawn to the outer perimeter of the Dao Tree's origin space, flowing into the Pure World White Lotus and into the World of Withering and Flourishing.

The power of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man at the back of the True Spirit's head was absorbed into the World Pearl in one gulp.

The illusory Dao tree in the primordial space droops with strands of spiritual energy, drifting into the Pure World White Lotus and flowing into the World Pearl.

A surge of power erupted from the core of the grotto-heaven's landmass, causing the grotto-heaven's area to expand.

As the grotto-heaven expanded, the funnel above the Hall of Longevity grew larger and larger.

The traction force generated by the funnel cyclone spreads outwards.

Within a radius of ten kilometers, thirty kilometers... one hundred kilometers... one thousand kilometers...

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of 10,000 kilometers was drawn in, flowing like streams into the sea, with colorful spiritual energy surging towards Mount Kurong.

A series of strong winds swept across Mount Kurong.

The commotion above Mount Kurong was so great that it alarmed countless people, including the true spirits within the hidden secret realm.

A yellow and cyan figure flashed past and disappeared into the Hall of Longevity.

Dahuang and Qingniu flanked Gu Changsheng's body, with two transparent shields enveloping him.

The two of them were alert to their surroundings, their divine sense covering a radius of one thousand kilometers.

Qingniu transmitted his voice to Di Yuanzi and his five personal disciples, informing them that their master was breaking through a cultivation barrier and that they should be wary of their surroundings and not allow anyone to approach.

Inside the immortal city at the foot of the mountain, many cultivators couldn't help but release their divine senses to probe the mountaintop, trying to find out what had happened.

This can't be blamed on them, after all, they were just pulled out of the Spirit Network a second ago, and then a strange change occurred on the mountain.

They worry that the resources on the Spirit Network might disappear without a trace, and that a non-human factor might be responsible for the data loss.

When the time comes, they won't dare say anything even if they want to seek compensation from the Immortal City for their losses.

All divine consciousness that appeared at the foot of the Four Peaks was ruthlessly destroyed.

Those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and uncover the secrets of Mount Kurong felt a chill run down their spines.

The mountain was terrifying; they sensed several terrifying divine powers forming a barrier.

Burning as hot as flames;

The coldness was like extreme freezing.

The sharp, blade-like aura;

The oppressive aura, as heavy as a sacred mountain;

Nothingness is as deep as an abyss.

Each of these forces is not something they can easily touch.

Outsiders only know that the mountain lord has several personal disciples, but no one has ever seen them.

This time, they experienced firsthand the terrifying power of the legendary direct disciple.

Unable to access the Spirit Network, Zhang Yuanfu drove his magical artifact to the Immortal City and held an emergency meeting with Yang Qingshan and others.

Half an hour later, law enforcement officers were busy posting emergency notices explaining why the Spirit Network was temporarily unavailable.

The strange phenomenon above Mount Kuru disappeared after an hour, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth returned to normal.

Seven days later—

长生殿

Inside the Dao Tree's primordial space, within the Pure World White Lotus, Gu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, unable to suppress a laugh.

"Hahaha........."

"This time, I've really succeeded!!!"

"My path has been achieved!!!"

"Hahaha............"

His gaze passed through the World Pearl of Withering and Flourishing before him, and the area of ​​the cave world expanded five times.

The power of the World Pearl of Withering and Flourishing has increased several times, and the formation time should have been shortened considerably.

In the primordial space of the cave world, hundreds of divine chains of laws connect the two boundary walls, intersecting at the center.

It gave rise to a special law, named:

All paths lead to one.

This law is the fundamental basis of the Taoist method he created.

The "Void Seed" is a formless Dao that can contain various Daos and condense into a "Dao Seed".

This is called: using the false to cultivate the true, and inheriting the myriad paths.

This explains why all living beings can cultivate the Dao Seed Method and condense various Dao Seeds.

What pleased Gu Changsheng the most was that there were two smaller points of light gestating next to the light spot of the Law of Unity of All Paths.

In other words, the three special laws are the complete origin and foundation of the Dao seed law.

Beyond the original space of the cave world lies another layer of space, where a brand-new spiritual network has emerged.

The new spiritual network cannot be called the spiritual network or the Dao realm.

The New Spirit Network is connected to hundreds of divine chains of the laws of heaven and earth, truly achieving global coverage;

There is no need to worry about the future expansion of Earth; even if Earth expands, the New Spirit Network will still be able to achieve full coverage.

This is because the new Spirit Network uses the divine chains of the laws of heaven and earth as its network cables; as long as the laws of heaven and earth exist, the Spirit Network can exist.

Such an effect is due to the Taoist seed method.

With the support and blessing of hundreds of Great Dao Laws, the New Spirit Network gained the permission to access the Law God Chain.

The New Spirit Network is not yet controlled by the laws of heaven and earth. When the Heavenly Way, the Human Way, and the Earthly Way appear in the world in the future, they will also be unable to interfere with the operation of the New Spirit Network.

Unless they destroy all laws and return to chaos.

They are all aggregates of the laws of heaven and earth; the law of collapse is self-destruction.

Even if they collapse their laws and return to a state of chaos, and Earth enters the Dharma-ending Age, the New Spirit Network can still be used;

The New Spirit Network is a server based on the World Pearl of Withering and Flourishing.

With the collapse of the laws, the New Spirit Network merely became an independent regional network.

The Spirit Network has completed its transformation;

The fundamental laws and principles of the Dao have been born.

The Dao seed and its associated fortune have been successfully condensed.

At this moment, Gu Changsheng stepped from the Creation Dao Realm to the Foundation Dao Realm, and his Dao Seed System gained a foundation and gathered fortune.

Only when these two special laws are born will there be a chance to glimpse the next Dao realm.

In the early stages of building the Dao, the fundamental laws are born, condensing the Qi and receiving its blessing.

With the blessing of the Dao Seed's fortune, Gu Changsheng's cultivation speed increased threefold;

As the Dao seed's energy becomes increasingly abundant, the speed of cultivation will also increase.

The Daoist seed's fortune also comes with the ability to protect the body and nourish the fortune of living beings.

Gu Changsheng's own fortune, aided by the fortune of the Dao Seed, completed its final transformation, and his light purple fortune was formed.

With a sudden thought, his personal information panel underwent a major version update.
