These liquids were instinctively attracted by the core of the Divine Wood and fla, enveloping them to beco ’bodies’ that these life forms could shape at will.
Wood as the core, fire as the force, gold as the body.
A peculiar life form composed of tal, fire, and wood.
A brand new life form entirely constructed by the laws within Anjing Cave Heaven, thus it was born.
"Is it really possible...?"
An Jing raised his eyebrows, sowhat surprised: "Can the Cave Heaven actually spawn life? Especially in my Heavenly Punishnt Bitter Realm, even I feel the ecosystem is too extre, everywhere is Heavenly Punishnt, Heavenly Slaughter...and yet life can still be nurtured and born?"
"Of course it can." Subdue Evil’s voice rang out, his tone utterly matter-of-fact: "Cave Heaven itself is a Small World, a manifestation of the Path of Creation, naturally it can nurture new life...Rather, if Cave Heaven created by a person cannot even naturally give birth to new life, then this Cave Heaven is undoubtedly failing, defeated!"
"However, generally speaking, at least it requires the level of Manifesting Holy and above to accomplish it."
Speaking to this, Subdue Evil indicated An Jing to pay attention to the peculiar small life forms again: "You shouldn’t be too pleased prematurely—Ancestral Dragon is the ’Ancestor of True Spirits’, His power obliterated the imprint of the Supre Heavenly Demon, leaving behind a part, which led your cave heaven to prematurely possess the Force of Creation."
"In other words, the small life forms created in your world are actually incomplete."
An Jing lowered his head, looking between heaven and earth again, then frowned.
Indeed, as Subdue Evil said, these life forms are incomplete.
However, these life forms are not perfect, they have no way to possess a form, like wriggling masses of hot, amorphous liquid tal.
They strive to imitate the form of the Heavenly Punishnt Divine Wood in the center of heaven and earth, or attempt to mimic the contours of mountains, trying to condense into a stable form, but every attempt ends in failure.
In the instant their bodies try to gather, they are burned again by the internal fla, ultimately able only to maintain a form between solid and liquid, akin to a sli creature.
They wander aimlessly on the barren earth, each wriggle leaving a scorched black mark on the heated ground.
An Jing watched, already realizing in his heart.
"Sothing is still missing..."
He murmured to himself.
Amorphous does not represent error, rather, amorphous can also be life, amoebas can, sli creatures can, and similar to what he saw in his previous life, tal slis are undoubtedly also a form of life.
But, even if they are slis, sli creatures, life itself should have a ’shell of isolation’ with the external world. Like human skin and the mbrane on the surface of a sli preventing the inner being from being exposed externally.
"Let’s just na these little guys ’Hundred Forms of the Furnace’ for now."
An Jing nad these tallic life forms like living furnaces that constantly emit light and heat, contemplating: "Gold generates water, water nourishes wood, water can also counteract fire...Indeed, only the law of ’cooling, enveloping, and nourishing’ from ’water’ can stabilize the bodies of these tal life forms whose inner essence is ’burning wood’.
The final northern [Heavenly Punishnt] is precisely such a force.
Indeed, beyond the four Heavenly Swords, there is an even more central aspect.
That is [Wisdom].
These life forms, now primitive creations driven only by instinct, need a true guide, a source that grants them the ability to think and create.
That is the center, where the four Heavenly Swords unite, [Heavenly Punishnt and Heaven Incline]...
By then, East Wood, South Fire, West Gold, North Water, Central Earth, added with the sun, moon, yin and yang in the sky, Yin Yang Five Elents Seven Luminaries rotating tirelessly, a complete cycle of creation and reincarnation could be born.
Even in this Heavenly Punishnt Bitter Realm nad for ’Punishnt’ and ’Destruction’, it also nurtures the possibility of ’Creation’...
"So that’s how it is, this is ’Taiji’."
An Jing slowly exhaled: "This likely corresponds to the ’Immortal Creation Pivot’, a realm for Cave Heaven Technique at the level of Manifesting Holy."
"Pivotal, overseeing the transformations of Yin and Yang—If the life forms inside can perfect the cycle of my inner Cave Heaven, spontaneously enabling its operation, augnting, growing stronger, or like working cells, spontaneously perform various functions of my Cave Heaven and contain endless spirituality, then I can genuinely ’Show Supre’, becoming ’Little Heavenly Dao’!"
Heavenly Dao is not just the Dao of Heaven and Earth, but also the True Spirit Path of all beings; those ’Hundred Forms of the Furnace’ derived from An Jing’s power are the most primitive form of life. But if even they can beco ’people’, then An Jing, who can create them, naturally won’t be simply human anymore, but ’Heavenly Person’, truly part of ’Heavenly Dao’!
"You have indeed comprehended..."
An Jing’s words brought Subdue Evil a sense of appreciation, and An Jing also turned his head to look at the phantom of the Divine Sword that manifested beside him.
This phantom holds not just a sword, but also an indistinct figure, like the silhouette An Jing saw in a dream at the beginning. This human figure is exceedingly vague, far less tangible than the sword, but indeed exists.
[Infinite]
Subdue Evil is the sword of Harmonization, possessing infinite forms; because of the Heavenly Demon’s erosion, he is both Immortal Sword and Demon Sword, both Immortal and Heavenly Demon, embodying every identity conceivable...This is the source of Subdue Evil’s confusion, for he, like Ancestral Dragon, battles against other ’demonized selves’ across infinite parallel tispaces.
This is an eternal battle, even other Returning Void Dao Yi struggle to help Subdue Evil triumph over himself—those ancient sacrifices of the Dao Court Era hoped that worshipping Subdue Evil as a cornerstone would seal those Exalted Great Heavenly Demons, while praying earnestly that the aspirations of all beings might help Subdue Evil overco his demonized self.
And now, with Ancestral Dragon’s power correcting Subdue Evil, making the current manifestation of Subdue Evil more inclined to ’Immortal’ and ’Immortal Sword’.
At this mont, Subdue Evil turned, as did the dim figure, seeming to reveal a smile: "An Jing, as of now, you have arrived at the end where guidance and teachings can take you."
"If it were others, they would certainly need my guidance continually, but you do not; instead of being master and disciple, we are more like comrades fighting alongside each other."
"You even already have your own ’Subdue Evil in your heart’."
"Beyond this lies a path only you can traverse; I can scarcely impart further knowledge of cultivation."
Saying this, he seed to breathe a sigh of relief, patting his chest, expressing gratitude: "It’s good that I’m just a sword, not adept at being a teacher—now I shall be your power and edge blade, fighting alongside you!"
"Subdue Evil, you have awakened considerably."
An Jing felt deeply moved; Subdue Evil used to either be in slumber or speak incoherently, with attitudes and positions constantly changing, truly worrying others. But now that he’s stabilized, An Jing faintly noticed Subdue Evil’s main consciousness is precisely the ’Subdue Evil’ he first encountered at Hanging Fate Manor.
And in response to Subdue Evil’s gratitude, An Jing shook his head: "I know you don’t wish to be a teacher but don’t think of shirking responsibility so soon—I still have many things I don’t understand, things Ancestral Dragon couldn’t tell , I just want to ask you about them."
"Well, go ahead and ask."
Subdue Evil responded openly: "I’ve regained quite a bit of mory, though so are still lacking, but those questions that troubled you earlier, I can probably answer them now."
"Great."
In his Small World, ti was entirely decided by An Jing himself, accelerating the flow of ti inside to make a mont in the Heavenly Punishnt Realm equal to a thousand monts outside.
After completing the acceleration, An Jing and Subdue Evil’s phantom sat cross-legged facing each other seriously inquiring: "Although there are many questions, the one I truly care about the most is this."
"Precisely what is the situation? Dao Courtyard, Embracing the Void, Great Immortal Embracing the Void, Heavenly Dao, and the essence of Heavenly Demon Demon Calamity...why were you shattered? Why did all this evolve into the present state?"
"About all this, I’m truly confused, just like a swordsman wandering in the empty rainy night, even wanting to draw a sword to sever sothing, can only cut through the rain, unable to find the source."
Pausing briefly, An Jing said in a deep voice: "Or rather a more fundantal question, Subdue Evil."
"What...exactly is Heavenly Demon?"
