Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Within the spacious ancient building, row after row of bookshelves were piled high with bone books.

These bone books shimmered with a faint glow, stretching as far as the eye could see, their sheer number vast as the ocean.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ming's heart stirred. He had never seen such an astonishing quantity of books on cultivation.

Previously, at the Old Devil's place, the number of cultivation techniques and secret manuals he encountered was not small, but it was far from comparable to here.

The Butian Pavilion has a long history. Although due to being in the Lower Realm, it lacks true 'classics', for Fang Ming, the cultivation scriptures of the foundational realms might be more useful.

They could help him understand and deconstruct the cultivation system of this realm.

This was an excellent opportunity, a great chance to understand the cultivation system of this realm!

His divine sense, like an ocean, spread out and covered the entire Scripture Depository.

Within the inner world of the seed, points of faint light emerged, rapidly expanding and transforming into bone books arrayed before him.

Each bone book emitted a faint glow, like stars filling the sky.

Fang Ming used his divine sense to imprint the scriptures from the Scripture Depository, planning to study them slowly.

His movements were swift. Within a breath, he had already imprinted all the scriptures in the entire Scripture Depository.

In the inner world, Fang Ming's divine sense manifested, and tens of thousands of avatars appeared, each studying a bone book.

"Interesting, the cultivation system of this realm is very interesting. Before, watching others cultivate was like looking at flowers through a fog, not clear!" As a bone book slowly opened, a smile appeared on Fang Ming's face.

This was a bone book about basic cultivation, focusing on circulating vital energy and blood, and how to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to strengthen one's vital energy and blood.

In this realm's system, the initial Moving Blood realm requires melting and refining the bone script understood from the innate bone of fierce beasts, extracting the essence of heaven and earth, and strengthening the origin vital energy and blood.

Bone script is another name for Great Dao runes, different terms for the same thing.

"Interesting, even spiritual plants have their own unique 'vital energy and blood'!" Fang Ming's eyes lit up, and his heart stirred.

"What a pity..." After a while, Fang Ming frowned, showing a look of regret, "Unfortunately, I am not a native plant. Although I am considered a spiritual plant, my essence is still different."

After some attempts, he was unable to stimulate his own vital energy and blood according to the records in the bone book.

"That's right, sometimes even within the same world, the difference between people is like heaven and earth, let alone me being a spiritual root Immortal Vine from another world." Thinking of this, Fang Ming no longer dwelled on this matter.

It was something he expected, so there was no need to be too concerned.

"This Cave Heaven realm seems to have profound mysteries. The current system doesn't seem to have dug deep enough, and it can be further evolved..." As Fang Ming delved into studying the bone book about the Cave Heaven realm, a flash of inspiration emerged in his mind.

Fang Ming's heart moved, and all his divine sense avatars converged, merging into one body.

In an instant, he immersed himself in the Dao realm, attempting to deduce the various flashes of inspiration that had appeared in his mind.

As he entered the Dao realm, Dao sounds rumbled in the inner world, and the laws of the Great Dao of heaven and earth fell like waterfalls, like the chanting of the Heavenly Gods and Demons.

Dao sounds rumbled, the inner world boomed, auspicious qi appeared, golden Dao lotuses emerged from the void, and divine springs gushed forth in the void.

The inner world transformed into a sacred place!

These were naturally occurring phenomena; once he delved into comprehending the Dao, such situations would arise.

Compared to being at the Old Devil's place, this heaven and earth seemed to like him more.

Whenever he delved into comprehending and thinking about the Dao, various anomalies appeared, and the laws of the Great Dao of heaven and earth flocked to him, as if afraid he wouldn't be able to comprehend everything.

His treatment was like the favorite son of this heaven and earth!

Countless Great Dao symbols intertwined, evolving into countless Dao principles.

Hundreds of millions of Dao principles intertwined, converging into a mass, rising and falling, like a pool of chaos.

The chaos circulated, as if evolving something. Within it, it seemed like a world was being generated.

This world was extremely vague. Within it, myriad spirits surged, and divine beings were born, at one point seeming to truly manifest, but ultimately failing to truly solidify.

Several hours later, the chaos formed by the intertwining of hundreds of millions of laws 'popped' and dissipated, and Fang Ming also awoke from the Dao realm.

"No, this isn't right. My Cave Heaven isn't opened like this!" Fang Ming sighed with regret.

Yes, he wanted to create his own method and open up his next realm.

He had stayed in the 'Foundation Establishment' realm for too long. When he browsed the bone books about the Cave Heaven realm in this realm, a flash of inspiration burst forth in Fang Ming's mind, so he decided to try and open up his own 'Cave Heaven'.

Unfortunately, after trying, he still failed and couldn't open up his own Cave Heaven.

"It feels like something is missing..." Fang Ming frowned and muttered to himself, "Well, let's take it slow, I will succeed sooner or later!"

As he woke up, the various anomalies in the inner world gradually disappeared.

Although the anomalies disappeared, countless Dao principles still surged towards him, pouring into his heart.

With a thought, divine sense avatars appeared one by one, and he continued to study the bone books obtained from the Butian Pavilion.

These bone books had a clear lineage, covering everything from Moving Blood to Lighting the Divine Fire.

Higher realms were rarely mentioned. After all, this place was called the 'cage' of the Lower Realm. Although the founder of the Butian Pavilion was a discarded disciple of the Butian Sect, he did not truly betray the Butian Pavilion, so the level of the bone books in the Scripture Depository would naturally not be too high.

For Fang Ming, the content of these bone books was not difficult to grasp, and he easily understood their true meaning.

"I always feel that the cultivation system of this realm is very suitable for me..." As he browsed through the bone books, Fang Ming whispered to himself.

The more he studied the cultivation bone books of this realm, the more Fang Ming felt that the cultivation system of this realm was very suitable for him.

"My intuition tells me that the following four realms: Cave Heaven, Transforming Spirit, Engraving, and Array Formation, are very suitable for me." In the inner world, Fang Ming rubbed his chin, and a certain thought in his mind became clearer.

The so-called suitability refers to the suitability of the true meaning within these realms, not that they can be directly copied.

He could create realms suitable for himself based on the true meaning contained within these realms.

"Let's not talk about Cave Heaven and Transforming Spirit for now, but for the Engraving and Array Formation realms, theoretically, I can start directly." Fang Ming mused in his mind, attempting to deduce.

The Engraving realm requires engraving the Great Dao runes one has comprehended into the body, no longer completely borrowing from the bone script of fierce beasts, and beginning to try to walk one's own path.

For Fang Ming, he had started this step a long time ago.

Back at the Old Devil's place, he had begun to imprint the various laws he had comprehended onto the Immortal Vine's body.

It was precisely because of the blessings of various heaven and earth laws that the tender body of the Immortal Vine became incredibly sturdy, much tougher than ordinary Xuan Tian Treasures.

Admittedly, acting on his intuition and imprinting various law imprints at that time was definitely not comparable to here in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the cultivation system is mature, and with the research of countless people, the understanding of the 'Engraving' realm must surpass his own.

After all, the True Immortal realm in this realm's cultivation system is essentially already partially surpassing the Great Chiliocosm Universe.

As an Immortal Vine, relying on the environment, it is impossible for him to surpass the upper limit of the world itself through normal self-study and comprehension.

But at least he had walked this path before and could be considered to have stepped into the 'Engraving' realm, just not to perfection.

The true perfection of this realm is to create one's own Great Dao symbols and evolve them to the extreme.

Now, with the many bone books from the Butian Pavilion, it is not impossible for him to go a step further and deduce his own 'Engraving'.

As for the Array Formation realm, it is a further evolution of the Engraving realm.

If Engraving is imitating other races and engraving the Great Dao runes one has comprehended into the body, then Array Formation is the sublimation of these Great Dao runes, where runes form arrays, initially evolving the Great Dao.

In fact, Fang Ming could be considered to have one foot in this realm.

The reason it is only one foot is because the various Great Dao laws he engraved on the Immortal Vine's body did not form a great array and could not unify the various laws.

They were still acting independently and had not truly unified.

"It's just that in this Engraving realm, what kind of Great Dao runes should I imprint, runes derived from deconstructing what kind of heaven and earth Great Dao laws?" Fang Ming frowned, feeling troubled.

He certainly wouldn't be satisfied with imprinting some simple Great Dao runes.

While it is possible to re-cultivate, who would think of re-cultivating without reason?

"Deconstructing the Great Dao of Time to obtain Time Great Dao runes?" Fang Ming's heart moved, and ripples appeared in the void before his eyes. One by one, silver Great Dao runes emerged.

These silver runes were only the size of a grain of rice and gave people the feeling of facing Time directly, as if they could steal the lifespan of the observer.

"Inappropriate, while Time is strong, it is not the strongest!" After a moment of thought, Fang Ming shook his head.

His thoughts flowed, and the light of countless rice-sized silver Great Dao runes dimmed, turning into a kind of almost transparent Great Dao runes.

These Great Dao runes were indistinct, giving people a sense of emptiness and nothingness.

"Inappropriate, while Space is wonderful, it is not enough to gain a foothold in the heavens." Fang Ming shook his head again.

With a thought, the runes changed, and countless gray-black runes appeared.

The meaning of Samsara surged forth, and faintly, a vast and boundless realm of Yin and Underworld Samsara emerged.

"While Samsara is wonderful, it cannot overshadow the countless Great Daos of the heavens!" Fang Ming continued to shake his head.

His thoughts flowed, and countless rice-sized runes emitted five-colored light.

In an instant, the five-colored light illuminated heaven and earth, with divine radiance and Dao principles.

These were the Great Dao runes obtained after deconstructing the Five Elements Great Dao.

"Inappropriate, although the Five Elements are the foundation of heaven and earth, they are still difficult to match Time and are not enough to gain a foothold in the heavens." Fang Ming shook his head.

The five-colored light shifted, and black and white light flowed, as one by one, half-black and half-white Great Dao runes appeared.

These were the Yin-Yang Great Dao runes obtained after deconstructing the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

Staring intently at the black and white runes, Fang Ming's expression gradually became solemn.

With a thought, five-colored light points appeared in the void, which were precisely the five-colored runes obtained from deconstructing the Five Elements Great Dao.

With a flick of his finger, the five-colored runes and the black and white runes trembled and collided violently.

Instantly, the black and white Yin-Yang light and the five-colored Five Elements light surged forth simultaneously.

The two kinds of runes intertwined, constantly colliding, and a destructive aura spread.

Seeing this scene, Fang Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his right hand, clenching it fiercely: "Merge for me!"

With a 'buzz', amidst the aura of destruction, a seven-colored light flowed, and countless rice-sized seven-colored runes emerged.

"Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the true foundation of heaven and earth!" Looking at the seven-colored runes suspended before him, Fang Ming nodded with satisfaction.

This was a small attempt of his.

The fusion of Yin-Yang and Five Elements indicates that this path can still be pursued and attempted further.
