Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

Federal Military Headquarters, underground core base.

Gu Changjin sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room.

The alloy walls around them slowly closed, and twelve layers of isolation force fields rose simultaneously, completely separating this place from the outside world.

After the destruction of Xuanzhen Temple, more than 1,300 strands of Dao Yuan returned to the Dao within the Dao Fruit.

It was more than he had expected.

Xuanzhen Temple has been passed down for thousands of years and is deeply intertwined with the fate of this world.

Disciples, followers, power, and resources.

It is like a towering tree rooted in the Nanjiang River.

Now that it has been uprooted, it has naturally shaken many of the world's fundamental principles.

Gu Changjin wasted no time.

A thought crossed my mind.

A vast amount of Dao Yuan surged into the sea of ​​consciousness, instantly enveloping the "Ancient Dao Scripture".

This scripture has a very important origin.

Even with his spiritual strength, he could only barely flip through the first part.

He was not comfortable with him directly cultivating.

Then let's break it down, word by word, and deduce it layer by layer.

Take the parts related to returning to emptiness, break them down completely, and then integrate them with your own understanding of the unity of mind and form.

In the realm of divine transformation, one opens up a grotto-heaven, where the grotto-heaven is real, the mountains and rivers are real, the spiritual energy is real, and all things have a basis in it.

However, returning to the void is different. Returning to the void is not simply about making the cave heaven continue to expand, nor is it about stuffing more power of heaven and earth into the cave heaven.

Instead, it allows the "real" to have the possibility of being "illusory," allowing things that already exist to not exist, and allowing things that did not exist to exist temporarily.

The path of the heart and mind is precisely on this path.

Fear is illusory, obsession is illusory, but a cultivator of the mind can make them material, killing people, destroying cities, and even distorting reality.

This is how to turn the abstract into the concrete.

The "Returning to Emptiness" chapter of the "Ancient Dao Scripture" offers an answer from another perspective.

From the real to the virtual, the grotto is no longer confined to the body, nor to a fixed space.

When a thought arises, it manifests; when a thought ceases, it disappears. The real and the unreal combine to reflect the heavens and the earth.

"I see."

Gu Changjin slowly opened his eyes.

The illusory image of the Xuanming Guixu Cave Heaven faintly appeared behind him, but the cave heaven had not yet truly unfolded.

The black mountains, the eyes of the Guixu Sea, and the dark sky flashed in the void for only a moment before disappearing again.

It seems not to have appeared, yet it truly exists.

Gu Changjin stretched out his hand, and above his palm, a drop of pitch-black seawater condensed out of thin air.

The next instant, the seawater turned into a phantom.

The next instant, it transformed back into a real water droplet and fell into my palm.

He failed to break through to the Void Returning stage, and his cultivation remained at the late Nascent Soul stage.

But the path that was once blurry has become completely clear.

At the level of the soul, they have already stood on the threshold of returning to the void.

As long as there are enough resources, the final transformation and breakthrough of the cave will be a natural outcome.

"That's the biggest takeaway."

Gu Changjin's lips curled up slightly.

Those people at Xuanzhen Temple probably never knew what was hidden in the back mountain they were guarding until their deaths.

A single copy of the "Tai Xu Cun Si Tu" was used as a treasure to preserve the temple's heritage.

The Ancient Dao Scripture, which was truly enough to drive cultivators across the heavens mad, was right under their noses.

It can only be said that if the time is not right, even if the treasure is right on your face, you won't see it.

Gu Changjin calmed his mind, and the remaining Dao Yuan from his Dao Fruit surged into his physical body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire training room suddenly trembled.

The body-refining resources that the Federal Military had drawn from all over the planet were also activated at this moment.

High-concentration nutrient solution was poured into the training chamber, and gene repair agents were continuously injected.

Active metal elements extracted from lunar mining areas are made into aerosols and inhaled.

In addition, life enhancement fluids treasured by major federal biotechnology groups were delivered to the base in batches.

If ordinary people were to use it, it would be enough to train tens of thousands of elites.

But now, the entire supply is going to Gu Changjin alone.

Blood and qi surge wildly within the body.

Three thousand blood realms achieved!

However, this is just the beginning.

Six thousand Blood Realm experts!!

Nine thousand blood realms!!!

Each increase caused the pressure inside the training room to surge.

The alloy ground began to sink, and the surrounding isolation force field flickered continuously.

The military researchers in charge of monitoring the data were so engrossed in watching it soar that they almost forgot to breathe.

At a certain moment, a thunderous roar erupted from within Gu Changjin's body.

All the vital energy and blood merged into one in that instant.

boom!

A crimson light shot into the sky, and the twelve layers of isolation force fields shattered simultaneously.

The alloy structure, tens of meters thick, above the cultivation room was actually dented by the qi and blood.

The Realm of Ten Thousand Bloodlines is complete!

Gu Changjin slowly stood up, and just by clenching his fist, a visible ripple appeared in the surrounding air.

This body is far more powerful than any Nascent Soul cultivator in his own world.

After all, he possesses the ancient Daoist scriptures, the Daoist Origin, and the experience of cultivating the Divine Body, in addition to the resources provided by the entire Federation.

But Gu Changjin suddenly felt that having too much power wasn't all a good thing.

When my muscles swell, I always feel like I'm looking for something to punch.

"As expected, body cultivators are most easily controlled by power."

Gu Changjin took a step forward, and his figure vanished instantly.

Almost at the same time.

Outside a large starport in near-Earth orbit around Blue Star.

A figure suddenly appeared in the previously empty vacuum area.

Gu Changjin floated silently outside of Blue Star.

Beneath my feet lies the azure planet.

Beside me, an interstellar cargo ship slowly passed by.

Without relying on any technological means or magic, but only on his physical body, he traversed most of the planet in a very short time and directly reached near-Earth orbit.

The power of the Myriad Blood Realm has begun to transcend the scope of ordinary life.

However, that was not enough. Back then, the Heart-Image Sect was able to leave its own realm and conquer and sacrifice other worlds.

There must be powerful individuals among them who far surpass the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

The seals, secret realms, and legacies they left behind cannot all be opened by brute force alone.

Some things require the right person, the right destiny, and the right timing.

Therefore, Zhou Jingming, this chosen one, cannot be abandoned for the time being.

Only by following him can those arrangements that have been dormant for tens of thousands of years be brought to light one by one.

As for who will ultimately own it, that's another matter.

After returning to the military headquarters, Gu Changjin deduced a new martial arts technique in just half a day.

Federal Basic Blood Refining Technique.

Compared to the military version, this technique is much gentler.

The cultivation speed is slow, the resource requirements are low, and it will not excessively deplete one's lifespan.

As long as an ordinary person is in good health, they can condense their first stream of qi and blood by practicing for a few months.

Once the Twisted Pillars are fully formed, a large number of federal citizens will inevitably be dragged into the Mind Realm.

At that time, fear will take form, and evil will spread everywhere.

If everyone in the entire Federation had vital energy, the masculine energy of billions of people would erupt together.

Let alone the Twisted Seed, even the Twisted Realm might not be able to withstand it.

Without hesitation, Gu Changjin handed the cultivation technique to Wei Shanhe.

"Released in the name of the military."

"Included in federal basic education."

"Promoted simultaneously in schools, businesses, and communities."

"Within a month, I will have all federal citizens begin cultivation."

Wei Shanhe accepted the documents with both hands.

"Yes, Commander."

He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "There's one more thing."

"The Speaker of the Federal Parliament would like to meet with you."

Gu Changjin raised his eyes.

The Speaker of the Federal Council is the first person in the Blue Star Federation in the true sense.

Although the military was now under his control, the parliament, the administrative system, and major corporations still needed a public order.

Moreover, this speaker has a good reputation in the past, and he did not rush to stop the purge of Xuanzhen Temple.

"Interesting, then let's meet."
