A semi-transparent panel of his own body appeared before Gu Changsheng's true spirit body.

He himself never expected that the integration of his natal magic weapon would trigger such a huge chain reaction.

Today, he finally understands the path he has taken.

The Law of the Unity of All Paths is the fundamental law of one's natal Dao Seed, which was conceived over several years and blessed by the fortune of hundreds of other laws before being born.

Soul, spiritual root, essence, blood, and spiritual energy forge the seed of the Dao, embarking on the journey of seeking the Dao;

The Dao seed originates from the fundamental laws that forge the true seed, leading to the understanding of the true meaning of the Dao;

From then on, Gu Changsheng took a big step forward on his path.

A pale purple aura adorned the top of Gu Changsheng's true spirit body, with wisps of purple energy descending to protect his body, making him resemble a nascent, divine being in the process of being conceived.

Ten deep purple auras floated above the vast sky of the Myriad Caves.

With a thought, a loud oath was uttered.

"I, Gu Changsheng, will today use the Twenty-Four Pure World White Lotus to suppress my own destiny and the Myriad Dao Pearl to suppress the destiny of the Return to One True Dao."

May Heaven and Earth bear witness!!!

As the Daoist voice fell, a "hum" sound rang in the True Spirit's ears, as if heaven and earth were responding to Gu Changsheng's request.

The Pure White Lotus is connected to the Qi and Qi mechanism at the top of the True Spirit's head;

The Myriad Paths Pearl is connected to the Qi and blood flow of the Returning to One True Dao within the Myriad Paths Cave Heaven.

In an instant, Gu Changsheng's own fortune and the fortune of the Guiyi True Dao became as stable as a mountain.

In the past, the suppression of destiny was not certified by Heaven and Earth; it had substance but no name.

Gu Changsheng did not swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Dao, the Human Dao, or the Great Dao, but instead chose Heaven and Earth as the object of his oath.

The former is merely a consciousness derived from heaven and earth; why can't it directly swear an oath to the essence of heaven and earth?

He didn't want to be a junior to the Heavenly Dao; he wanted to be a fellow Daoist, which would weaken the status of the creator of the Dao for no reason.

Be equal to the heavens, and befriend the Way.

The bolder your heart, the bigger your stage for your dreams.

Let's not worry about where the future leads;

First, your mind must be aligned with the right direction; second, your goals must be set high.

With something to suppress it, the fortune no longer leaked out.

Currently, only the Dao Seed Luck of exceptionally talented cultivators has been gathered; the Dao Seed Luck of hundreds of millions of ordinary cultivators is still scattered throughout the world.

The former's fortune follows the laws of the Great Dao and is fed back in return; this part of the fortune has its own navigation.

But the latter won't work; this part of the fortune has no medium and cannot cross billions of miles to find its destination.

To absorb the Daoist essence and fortune of the world, Gu Changsheng needs to establish a religion and rectify its name.

Gu Changsheng was caught in a dilemma. The Daoist temple should be located in the Myriad Dao Cave Heaven, but the Fifth Disciple's main body cave heaven had already completed the initial construction.

The Longevity Realm's foundation and potential are no less than those of the Myriad Paths Cave Heaven, making it one of the best training grounds.

The Realm of Immortality specializes in concealment and teleportation. With this in mind, Gu Changsheng ultimately chose to establish his Daoist temple in the Realm of Immortality.

With the training ground chosen, Gu Changsheng turned his attention back to the changes in himself.

The Dao realm, the Dao foundation, and the Dao scriptures need no further explanation.

The various Daoist principles he comprehended did not disappear; they all returned to the true meaning of the unity of all Daos.

The Dao, the Dao, the Dao's evolutionary methods, are incomparable to supernatural powers and magic.

The true meaning of "all paths return to one" was born, giving rise to the "method of all paths returning to one".

By unifying all paths with the true meaning of the unity of all paths, one can unleash combined supernatural powers and spells, making them even more powerful.

The Eye of Withering and Flourishing has undergone a complete transformation, advancing to the Myriad True Eyes;

The True Eye can observe the laws governing the universe and perceive the changes in the fate, fortune, cause and effect, and karma of living beings;

The True Eye can see the thirty-three heavens above and explore the eighteen levels of hell below, ignoring all the barriers of the boundary.

The original Dao guides the Dao to its proper place, which is truly well-deserved.

Once the root of heaven and earth completes its advancement, the void guide can draw energy from the void to nourish itself, encompassing both the tangible and intangible worlds.

Gu Changsheng added a new category for Dao artifacts, solely to distinguish between artifacts for proving, protecting, and conquering the Dao, and other artifacts.

Only when the Breaking Law Ruler is ranked among the innate supreme treasure-level embryos will it be included in the Dao artifacts;

If other suitable treasures are encountered in the future, they can also be included in the Dao artifacts.

The Primordial Spirit Spring, the Innate Soul Spring, the Three-Colored Merit Lotus, the Innate Spiritual Vein, and the Virtual Myriad Realms are all top-tier items among the Myriad Realms.

Ordinary items are not even worth listing by Gu Changsheng; that's how extravagant he is.

The primordial spring, the ancestral vein of all the myriad grotto heavens, can give birth to the purest spiritual liquid, which can be transformed into innate spiritual energy in the future.

The Innate Soul Spring stores Soul Liquid, a product of the soul power overflowing from cultivators within the Virtual Myriad Realms, transformed through purification laws. It is a top-tier cultivation resource for Soul Dao cultivators.

Three-colored merit lotus, a special merit spiritual plant (cultivated version).

Innate spiritual veins can absorb energy from the void and transform it into pure spiritual energy, and in the future, they can be transformed into innate spiritual energy.

The Virtual Realm of Myriad Paths, the ultimate version of the Spirit Network, currently covers the entire globe and will connect to all realms in the future.

Gu Changsheng glanced at the physique section and frowned; his physical body had clearly become a weakness.

The innate divine ability - the Armor of Withering and Flourishing - did not undergo a transformation and could only be classified as a divine ability by Gu Changsheng.

He stared at the section on supernatural powers and spells, needing to review it and introduce new features;

Integration should be carried out where necessary, and improvement should be achieved where appropriate.

When the true meaning of returning to oneness was born, the withered and flourishing Geng metal sword could not keep up with its pace and needed to be integrated into the law-breaking ruler.

The withered and flourishing emerald water treasure robe and the clear wind and cloud pattern shoes also need to be integrated to form a completely new set of treasure robes.

He clearly sensed that the other two laws nurtured within the Myriad Paths Grotto Heaven were related to the Dao of Withering and Flourishing.

Different gestation times inevitably result in different levels of rarity.

He knew in his heart that the law in the gestation stage was even more special than the law of the unity of all paths.

The path he cultivates is gradually moving away from the path of decay and prosperity, and his vision cannot be limited to magical treasures, spells, supernatural powers, and secret techniques related to decay and prosperity;

Similarly, one cannot be limited to a single attribute of magic, supernatural power, or secret technique.

The art of escape must contain countless variations and be adaptable to all environments in order to advance in the Daoist arts.

Among them, the Daoist formula of the character "聚" is closest to the Daoist method.

All attack methods are combined into a single method of killing.

Escape techniques, killing techniques, protective techniques, auxiliary techniques...

With the plans laid out, Gu Changsheng turned his gaze to the virtual Myriad Realms.

If he doesn't restart the Spirit Network, the outside world will be in an uproar, and it will also affect his reputation and public image.

He had a sudden inspiration: could the Virtual World of Myriad Paths be charged for?

Perhaps the virtual world of myriad paths can be divided into two parts.

One is a free online payment platform that only offers text, voice, video, and payment functions;

One is a paid virtual world, where one enters the virtual world with their mind and spirit, and condenses a body that can be mistaken for a real one;

Everyone is free to live, cultivate, discuss, and trade in the virtual world.

After much deliberation, Gu Changsheng abandoned the idea of ​​charging a fee.

His goals are fortune and merit, and he also receives extra income from the overflowing soul power of cultivators.

Free doesn't mean operating at a loss; various facilities and functions are charged for, and the costs are passed on to the cultivators.

With the opening of the virtual world this time, the physical delivery function will be fully available.

Physical objects entering and exiting the virtual world require spatial power; there are no restrictions.

Gu Changsheng had a slight thought: the original Spirit Network function should be activated first, but the virtual world still needed to be developed.

In an instant, the virtual myriad realms covered the entire blue planet along the divine chains of the laws of heaven and earth.

Countless cultivators outside sensed the reappearance of the Spirit Network and their thoughts entered the Spirit Network to check whether their assets were still there.

All the cultivators breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the Spirit Network and saw that their accounts were still there and the Spirit Network was exactly the same as before.

Gu Changsheng had the foresight to seal all the Lingwang data and storage resources before the integration.

The restart of the Spirit Network was only temporary. He summoned Zhang Yuanfu in the Hall of Longevity in the virtual world and assigned him virtual development tasks.
