Perfect Double Agent

"Damn it... Bai Pu... what are you doing!" the seed yelled, jumping around before being whipped away by the old demon's sleeve, landing somewhere unknown.

Bai Ye was not surprised. When he created it, the old demon was there, and later even lived on his arm, witnessing the initial formation of this divine power.

"Whether it's the Ten Evil Techniques or the Endless Technique left behind by Wuzhong, they are actually a condensed Dao. One supernatural power is enough for a person to study for a lifetime and become an immortal, but not a king."

You may learn the Art of Endlessness, but you will never become Endless, therefore I will not force you to follow my Path of Foundation Building for All Spirits.

Bai Ye nodded, listening attentively.

"In this realm, there is a term for the Void Dao called the Dao Foundation. In my realm, there is also a term called the Immortal Foundation. Every outstanding descendant of an imperial family must build an Immortal Foundation. From ancient times to the present, no matter what kind of cultivation path it is, this realm is very important."

"The Immortal Foundation?"

"That's just a foundation, it doesn't mean you can achieve immortality in the future, it's just the activation of potential. Your current foundation is very strong, and you will go even further after the baptism."

The old demon's gaze was strange. This was incredible. This little guy's origin was too profound. He had always been very powerful, as if he had been tempered and refined a long time ago. But his disciple certainly couldn't just build an immortal foundation. He had to surpass it.

"Get ready, this process won't be easy. If you can get through it, you'll soar to great heights; if you can't, you'll perish." The old demon said very seriously.

This made Bai Ye seriously doubt whether the old demon intended to do anything human.

"I have a cauldron and an elixir of immortality. Do I need it?"

"That primitive bone cauldron? Of course we'll use it; its role is crucial..."

Chapter 315 Following the Myriad Paths of My Own Time and Space

A month has passed.

A young, shirtless figure sat cross-legged under a tree laden with fruit, his eyes tightly shut. Before him, a tall, crowned figure wielded a spear formed from the power of order, piercing his body with each thrust, drawing a spray of blood with each strike.

However, the direction of the stab was very tricky. The moment it landed was like the trajectory of the Great Dao. It seemed ordinary, but it caused the young man to suffer greatly, and his face was contorted.

This process has lasted for half a month. The young man's body is already riddled with holes, and upon closer inspection, there are also wounds that have long since healed. On the ground, there are blood-stained axes, crimson longswords, and purple hammers crackling with lightning...

This scene sent chills down Pu Du's spine from afar, not from fear, but from feeling pain for Bai Ye, as if he were being tortured.

However, this is an ancient method from another realm, controlled by the imperial clan, used to stimulate potential and forge the physical body. For the past half month, several methods have been used, but the effect has been decreasing each time.

Just like now, after that fierce spear was pulled out, a transparent flame instantly rose from the wound, as if it were composed of countless tiny phoenixes, causing the wound to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is not a forced response, but a natural bodily reaction, as if countless living things exist within the flesh and blood of the body, replenishing wherever a problem arises.

Zi Cang was expressionless, and perhaps no expression could be seen on his tightly folded old skin. Only a purple-gold lightning mark between his eyebrows was flashing, like a vertical eye that could open and close, radiating an immortal brilliance capable of splitting the heavens and earth.

The first half of the month was spent tempering the primordial spirit, and the second half was spent tempering the physical body. Perhaps because this junior had cultivated the Calming Chaos Technique and the Grass Character Technique, the tempering that originally lasted for half a year only took one month and was no longer useful to this junior. Moreover, the recovery method was strengthened to an unprecedented level. If it could be further improved, it would most likely be able to be reborn from a drop of blood.

It's hard to imagine that this is a junior who is not even twenty years old. His primordial spirit and physical body are so powerful at this level that there are almost no rivals. Even with his experience, he has never seen such a little monster.

"Is it over...? Then open the inner passage and brew the great medicine..." An old man who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed next to the white bone cauldron slowly opened his eyes and stood up.

"Yes, sir." Zi Cang discarded the Order Spear and stood respectfully to the side.

The so-called "inner way" actually refers to the body's inherent potential, which is released by brewing the body's "great medicine".

The Great Bone Cauldron is sacred, its entire body crystal white, and its surface and inner walls are engraved with floral, insect, animal, mountain, star, runes and patterns, primitive and simple, as if it were interpreting the primordial Tao.

Inside the cauldron, there was more than half a cauldron of pure primordial Dao principles. They were entirely formed from order and runes, emanating a misty aura, auspicious and sacred, but excessively pure, like a mysterious primordial substance. Bai Ye did not know where the old demon had obtained this thing. This substance was very precious. Even in the Immortal Academy, it had only appeared in ancient books. It was a substance that would only appear when a living being was conceived.

The old demon waved his hand, and the Myriad Dao Tree shrank, turning into a small sapling. This tree was originally a top-tier immortal seed, and although its fruit was not yet ripe, it had another function: it could draw upon the myriad Daos of heaven and earth. This was its most precious feature.

The bone cauldron served as the furnace, the primordial substance as water, and countless primordial runes intertwined and swirled around it, shining as brightly as the stars in the heavens.

Immediately afterwards, numerous strange stones, as bright as the sun, were thrown in. They landed inside the cauldron and formed particles of light, including five-colored stones, yin-yang stones, primordial life stones, and solidified essence.

He then added nine more divine herbs, some scavenged from the Heavenly Kingdom and Luofu True Valley, and others found in the Boundary Tomb. Some of these herbs nourished the primordial spirit, while others enhanced physical constitution.

This is a luxury, at least that's what Pu thinks. He stood at a distance, watching his ancestors throw away handfuls of these things, and it was impossible not to feel envious.

Furthermore, among the items thrown in were two golden elixirs, containing no residual rules or order, but only a pure source of immortal essence. It could be said that these were absolutely great medicines.

However, this was not the most important thing. Immediately afterwards, the ancestor also brought over a great river from afar, transparent and dreamlike.

But it is not a long river of time, but a great river of time in the Boundary Tomb, formed by the interweaving of the laws of time in many remnant realms.

He had seen it before and even suspected that it contained the Seed of Time, but it disappeared later. He never imagined that it had been taken away by the Ancestor.

Pu Du was shocked. Even elixirs and the River of Time had appeared. Was this a plan to turn Bai Pu into a supreme being in one step?

The old demon didn't explain further. He glanced at the cauldron and beckoned to Bai Ye, "Holding up the saplings, drawing upon the great Dao of heaven and earth, they are external forces, they are the fire that burns. You can use them to temper yourself, without needing to incorporate them into your body."

“I understand…” Bai Ye nodded, took the sapling and entered the cauldron. He was essentially using his own body as a seed, focusing on developing himself, forming a foundation for the Dao of Time and Space, transforming himself into a seed, completing a leap to godhood, achieving a qualitative change, and altering his own level of life.

"This process is more comfortable than you imagine..."

The old demon sat cross-legged in front of the cauldron, a smile on his old face. Beside him were small, broken spheres, some of which were stars, some of which were worlds, placed under the cauldron like firewood and then lit.

Instantly, flames soared into the sky—the fire of the world, the burning of rules, the scorching of the Great Dao's order, and a form of destruction!

At the same moment, the cauldron emitted a halo of light, and the ancient patterns densely covering its surface came to life, transforming into primitive and simple symbols, resembling tadpoles.

They flew autonomously, as if constructing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao with primordial runes, revealing the most ancient Dao, outlining the various mysteries of this world, and interpreting the essence of the Great Dao. After a moment, they intertwined to form a cauldron lid, like a map of ten thousand Daos, and covered it up.

"This is... the Transcendence Chapter... that bone!" Zi Cang was shocked. He had long suspected it, but now he was even more certain. This was a method to become an immortal, and it could also prove the immortality. It was incomparably transcendent. Even he felt that he was becoming fascinated after reading it.

The old demon remained unmoved, adding fuel to the fire again and again, as if he wanted to burn the people inside alive, while his hands were also casting one mysterious hand seal after another.

In fact, Bai Ye was already melting at this moment. The cauldron was filled with countless runes, some from the inner wall of the bone cauldron, some from the water, and some drawn by the Myriad Dao Tree. All of them were intertwined, causing his entire physical body to dissipate and revealing his bare white bones.

In just a moment, he became a skeleton, his soul flame almost extinguished. This was not comfort; it was complete self-destruction. The old demon was never one to smile, and when he finally made a joke, it still turned into a huge pitfall.

But at the crucial moment, an astonishing amount of life began to emerge from the water, instantly regenerating his flesh and bones, restoring him to his original state, and seemingly making him even stronger.

Even the portals within the body began to multiply, like light doors with a crack in them, which, though not fully opened, had already developed fissures.

The fire continued, burning brighter and fiercer, its intensity overwhelming. The primordial runes were even taking shape.

Insects were tearing at him, easily tearing through his flesh. Dust was pressing in, seemingly small, yet inside it seemed to contain a world of immense power. A giant fish was rising from the water, soaring into the sky, transforming into a giant bird, carrying yin and yang on its back, its wings causing the heavens and earth to tremble...

There were too many of them, tens of thousands in total. Each one was like an ultimate being. They were formed from primitive and simple talismanic culture, but what they displayed was a terrifying power that shattered Bai Ye's physical body and primordial spirit into sieves.

But he was comprehending and analyzing, completely absorbed. Even his hands and body surface were emanating primordial runes, each one simple and unadorned, as if they shared the same origin as the foreign runes. That was the original true understanding, the first part, not as profound as the transcendence part, but it was the foundation.

This time, his recovery wasn't as fast, but he was fighting it out with all his might. Runes materialized between his hands, each one a creature evolved from a primordial symbol, numbering in the tens of thousands.

"Boom!"

The cauldron trembled violently, and boiling water burst open like bubbles. Upon closer inspection, each bubble resembled a world. The moment it exploded, space collapsed and stars were burned. It was a destructive force that could annihilate all spirits and shatter all things. It was terrifying and caused Bai Ye's body to crumble.

This is truly a double whammy. "If you destroy, then I will rebirth it, and I will wield all paths in my own time and space!"

Chapter 316 Breaking the Shackles of Ten Thousand Paths to Achieve Supreme Status in Time and Space

Bai Ye remained calm, having gained some insight. He cleared his mind of all unnecessary thoughts and began to perform, his hands moving across runes as he attempted to construct the spatial pathways between heaven and earth, the foundation upon which they supported the world.

The spatial runes extend, forming patterns, and new runes are born on them. The combination of the two is like forming a divine chain of order. This is the rule of space, one of the manifestations of the Dao, and also the prototype of the Dao within his body. He wants to use this to construct his own Dao.

Normally, to construct a small world, one's cultivation level must be at least at the Void Dao realm; before that, it's simply impossible.

Because cultivators only begin to fuse with the Dao Seed when they reach the Heavenly God Realm. Only when the fusion is successful will the Dao Seed be present in their bodies, allowing them to come into contact with the Great Dao. Relatively speaking, this is the starting point for cultivation. Only with the Dao can one create heaven and earth.

This is precisely why this stage is extremely important. Some people fuse with the fire seed and then cultivate the fire path, while others fuse with the yin and yang seed and then cultivate the yin and yang path. There are many different kinds, and what one cultivates is entirely determined by the seed.

Bai Ye is still using his body as a seed. He has a talent for time and space and has an understanding of time and space that far surpasses that of ordinary people. However, he does not have the Dao within him. It is not that he has no understanding, but that he does not have a vessel to carry the Dao.

Ancient immortal techniques are carried by seeds, while otherworldly techniques are carried by primordial ancestral symbols, which can be used to demonstrate the power of the Dao, but he did not.

The world is still being destroyed, one after another, caused by the burning of foreign remnants, which has affected the cauldron, causing Bai Ye to vomit blood continuously.

But he remained unmoved. The elixir ensured his survival, and the pure essence nourished his physical body and primordial spirit. He absorbed the pure essence within the cauldron to restore himself while simultaneously constructing a space.

He had studied the world in the palm of his hand, researched the prototype species of the universe, and witnessed the birth and growth of the World Tree. In his hands, veins were taking shape. They crisscrossed, like large nets arranged vertically and horizontally, gradually filling a circular space and supporting it from collapsing. The interwoven nodes were spatial nodes that were rarely seen by ordinary people.

This is a foundation; he doesn't need to create something from scratch, but rather starts from another angle to build the world.

Immediately afterwards, primordial runes flew in, disappearing into the sky and the earth, imprinting themselves on space. The runes were evolving and taking shape. Above were the sun, moon, and stars, and below were mountains, rivers, and seas. Living beings appeared, and all things manifested.

This is the primordial Dao of heaven and earth; each rune is a condensation and a manifestation of the rules.

But this world is still, motionless, like a puppet, lacking the most crucial vitality.

Even so, it is still amazing that a young man, covered in wounds and suffering from multiple impacts, is still holding his mind and selflessly creating something different.

"Stillness...no, it's a lack of time..."

A great river, rushing and surging, was drawn here, transparent and dreamlike, flowing through endless years. As soon as it arrived, it made Bai Ye feel dazed, as if his whole being was about to wither away.

This is a great river of time, formed after the collapse and destruction of numerous worlds within the boundary. Any supreme being who comes into contact with it will die a violent death. It was purified by the old demon into the origin of time.

He did not draw it all into his body, but instead pulled out a strand, carefully observed it, analyzed its composition, and finally formed his own river.

It was a long process, and time was passing quickly, but he remained calm and observed. The stream was very small, like a hair, or like the veins of a great river. Just a single strand seemed to contain a fragment of a world, like the long river of time, like the vast void.

Heaven and earth, all living beings, are all within the long river of time, and all the myriad paths of the world exist in the vast void.

The long river is illusory, yet it truly exists. How many people in this world can truly transcend it? Those who can trace back the ages can create the long river with a single thought. To this day, there is only one master of the bronze coffin.

"My body is the vast void, my blood is the river of time, intertwined, we are originally a seed... When it grows in the future, will it be able to contain all the rivers of the past and present, and the void of the world, and embrace all paths with my own path!"

This was a tremendous change. He understood it even more clearly. The time runes in his hands were flying, and the years were flowing, disappearing into the world. It made that frozen world seem to be filled with a kind of divinity, given vitality, and suddenly come to life.

The sun and moon take turns, the laws of heaven and earth operate, living beings roam, plants and trees grow, and the whole world seems to be reviving.

This is using time and space to control all paths, attempting to establish a belief that time and space are supreme and the highest in the world, enslaving all paths and suppressing everything.

Normally speaking, the Dao has no high or low, no strong or weak distinction. Every Dao, when taken to its extreme, is unparalleled. Creating the world and destroying all living beings are within its grasp. What is strong is never the Dao itself, but the person who created it.

However, at that moment, the world was suddenly cleaved open by a strange bolt of lightning, and everything was dying and being annihilated.

At the same moment, a world-destroying thunderbolt came from beyond the world, striking the Boundary Tomb and the Myriad Dao Diagram covering the Bone Cauldron. It entered the tomb and struck a young man's crown, shattering his primordial spirit into countless fragments.

It was too sudden, too terrifying. It was an extreme destructive force that displaced space, stopped time, and left the three people outside completely unaware.

Old Demon Teng stood up abruptly, his gaze majestic and gloomy, staring intently at the sky as if searching for something. Zi Cang reacted a little slower, but his eyes were equally serious.

Normally it's just a calcination process. Even if there's an accident, the various substances inside the cauldron can revive Bai Ye. But now, that little guy has been killed by lightning and suffered a calamity. His primordial spirit has been shattered into tens of thousands of fragments, as if he has angered the heavens. For a moment, the world was displaced, and even time and space stopped, so that they didn't even have time to react.

This is more like a sneak attack, as if someone is secretly plotting against us.

The burning continued, but the figure inside the cauldron seemed dead. Although there was still an astonishing vitality, the fragments of the primordial spirit were gone, vanished into thin air.

The old demon observed carefully for a moment, then his face grew even more grim. "Continue!"

The fire scorched the body inside the cauldron again and again. He controlled the heat, treating the entire body as a great medicine, as if he were refining an elixir, trying to extract an unparalleled seed.
