In the blink of an eye, his consciousness soared across the realms. When Gu Lan opened his eyes, he was still atop the Azure Lotus of rits, seated on Tianqiong Mountain.
"So, this is what it feels like to touch the divine essence of creation?"
He murmured, just as a familiar notification chid in his mind.
[Your fusion of the Nine Heavens Earth Essence with the world has progressed. Reward: Creation Progress 1%.]
[Current Progress: 2%]
[Progress Reward: World Origin x1]
"What exactly is this 'World Origin'?" Gu Lan wondered aloud. "Could it be similar to the essence of the Dao or divine spirit?"
Gu Lan noticed the sudden addition of a World Origin in the system space, piquing his curiosity.
When his consciousness focused on it, he imdiately understood its purpose.
The World Origin represented the purest form of power from a world, containing the source energy of the Three Thousand Great Daos.
If refined at the Imperial Realm, it would allow one to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos with ease, potentially mastering one source power and achieving its consummate perfection.
If refined at the Divine Realm, it could significantly enhance one's understanding of Rule Power.
With a thought, Gu Lan retrieved the essence.
Currently, the Nine Heavens Earth Essence had already fused with the mortal realm. However, due to the influence of the First Heaven's Congtian World in the Immortal Realm, the spiritual energy in the Earthly Realm was beginning to steadily increase.
Although this growth was still subtle, it would beco more pronounced over ti.
In twelve hours, the spiritual energy would reach its peak.
Gu Lan decided not to waste this precious ti. He resolved to refine the World Origin imdiately.
"Should I use this chance to deepen my understanding of Confucian ideals, swordsmanship, or perhaps the rules of ti and space?" he pondered briefly. Then, with a decisive grin, he thought, "Why choose? I'll take it all!"
Without further hesitation, he began refining the World Origin.
In an instant, the Three Thousand Great Daos materialized before Gu Lan's eyes, each manifesting vividly as if tangible.
The purest powers of the Five Elents—tal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—appeared first, cycling through their mutual generation and counteraction, further evolving into secondary forces such as Wind, Thunder, and Ice.
Beyond these, higher concepts erged: Yin and Yang, Space and Ti, and the Power of Vitality.
Finally, the philosophies of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, along with the myriad paths of the Three Thousand Great Daos, unfolded in perfect clarity.
Imrsed in the phenona revealed by the World Origin, Gu Lan gained profound new insights into the powers of realms, origin energy, and rule powers.
Though these three forces corresponded to the stages from the Imperial Realm to the Immortal Realm, their hierarchy was not absolute.
A Supre Divine expert wielding Source Power might not surpass a Divine Lord proficient in Domain Power. Similarly, a Divine King using Source Power could overwhelm a Divine Lord using Law Power.
The outco was determined by the wielder, not the power itself.
Gu Lan, who advanced in cultivation simply through reading and had refined both the Spiritual Rhys of Buddhism and Daoism, could comprehend the Daos with extraordinary ease.
Within the World Origin, his capacity to absorb and understand far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators.
As he observed the evolution of Sword Dao, countless principles of the art naturally beca his own—life-forged blades, a single strike to break myriad techniques, the boundless nature of the Sword Dao...
These countless facets of the Sword Dao were fully integrated into his mind.
His comprehension of the Sword Dao had reached an entirely new realm.
"My swordsmanship has reached its zenith; further progress won't be easy. Confucian principles are my foundation, so I should focus on those next."
With a thought, the scene shifted. Voices reciting sacred Confucian texts echoed in his ears, each phrase ringing with wisdom, like lessons imparted directly to his soul.
"To learn and then practice is the source of joy."
"The path to virtue is rooted in enlightennt."
"The people are precious, society secondary, and the ruler the least of all."
Each utterance resonated deeply. Despite the decline of Confucian ideals in this world, their influence on the Three Thousand Daos endured, woven into the journey to enlightennt. As Gu Lan's understanding of Confucianism deepened, his rit Golden Robe glowed with a brighter aura, strengthening alongside his insight.
anwhile, the rging of the Nine Heavens Earth Essence with the Earthly Realm brought monuntal changes to the world. The first to sense it were cultivators.
"What's going on with this spiritual energy density?" A human cultivator used his Celestial Eye to survey the sky, bewildered at the waves of spiritual energy descending upon the mortal realm.
Nearby, a demon cultivator shifted into his true form to better absorb the vast spiritual energy now flowing across the land.
Elsewhere, Zhongren and Chen Feng, journeying back to the Jing Nation, had also halted. While Chen Feng was simply puzzled, Zhongren had already deduced the cause of the celestial phenona.
Using the Celestial Observing Disk, he calculated the changes in the human realm, carefully avoiding any link to Gu Lan. Though his insights were limited, he perceived enough to grasp so hidden truths.
"No wonder my Celestial chanic Art couldn't foresee anything—it was all caused by the boss."
Zhongren smiled knowingly.
"Did you figure out anything?" asked Chen Feng eagerly. "Tell !"
"The mysteries of heaven cannot be revealed so easily!" Zhongren, in a rare light-hearted mont, decided to play coy. Ever since receiving the inheritance of the Tianji Ancestry, and experiencing three thousand lifetis, he'd been weighed down by the gravity of the impending Six Realms catastrophe. But now, with Gu Lan's actions, he felt like the carefree junior of old, shielded by his ntor from all concerns.
He raised his hand, gesturing for Divine Stones with a grin. "I might reveal it for a small price…"
Chen Feng stared in disbelief.
He never expected his Uncle Master to be like this! Nonetheless, he handed over ten Divine Stones, which Zhongren pocketed with satisfaction.
"This is a gift from the heavens!" Zhongren finally revealed, unable to conceal his own excitent. "The boss has achieved a miraculous feat!"
Even without full understanding, he knew that this phenonon stemd from Gu Lan's actions. To bless an entire realm was nothing short of miraculous.
"The world ascending, as one! A great rit, indeed!" Zhongren sighed with admiration as he shared his insights with Chen Feng.
While Chen Feng struggled to follow every detail, he understood the essence of it: this remarkable transformation was his master's doing and promised untold benefits. Smiling, the two watched the phenonon unfold, filled with joy.
Across the Three Thousand Worlds, the realms moved in harmony, with the Earthly Realm's energy increasing in response. Although the surge wasn't as profound as in the central realm, it was still significant.
To ascend a world in unison—it was a miracle.
