260: Dao Realm, Xuanxian Peak

The next day, a figure silently stepped out of the Blood Demon Realm and disappeared into the depths of the vast boundary Realm.

Xiao Zhuo had already obtained a detailed star map of the Immortal-Demon Realm's dominion from Xue Tian.

After leaving the Blood Demon Realm, he didn't hesitate for a moment, heading straight towards the Immortal-Demon Realm.

However, he didn't intend to enter the Immortal-Demon Realm directly like this.

Currently, Xiao Zhuo might be able to dominate the Middle Thousand Realm Domain, but in the Major Thousand Worlds, he was still just an ordinary True Immortal, at most the strongest True Immortal below a Heavenly Immortal.

Once one's Cultivation reached the Immortal Realm, each Realm was like a new heaven; it was almost impossible to easily fight above one's Realm as in the past.

Even with Xiao Zhuo's profound Foundation, as a True Immortal, he could at most protect himself against a Heavenly Immortal, with no chance of victory.

This was evident from his previous battle against the Heavenly Immortal Incarnation of Qian He, let alone facing a Heavenly Immortal's Main Body directly.

At this moment, he possessed over eighty million Attribute Points, and naturally, he intended to convert all of them into his own strength.

Xiao Zhuo found a desolate dead star, not much smaller than the Blood Demon Realm, and activated the Law of Earth, silently burrowing deep into the dead star's core.

He casually opened up a stable underground space, ignoring the terrifying radiation and distorted magnetic fields that would instantly kill a demon infant Cultivator.

Immediately, Xiao Zhuo activated the Heavenly Illusion Sacred Art, masking the perception of Xue Tian's imprint within him, preventing it from detecting any unusual fluctuations in his Cultivation.

With all preparations complete, he sat cross-legged and began to infuse Attribute Points into the Free and Natural Heavenly Art.

In a hundred years, the Free and Natural Heavenly Art had been refined by the panel to Saint-Grade Low Grade.

As long as there were enough Attribute Points, Xiao Zhuo even had the confidence to ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm in one go!

The familiar White Mist Space reappeared, and a long-lost sense of profound mystery enveloped his heart.

Attribute Points began to rapidly deplete, and massive amounts of extremely pure Immortal Qi spontaneously generated from within the White Mist Void Realm, pouring into Xiao Zhuo's Main Body like an inverted celestial river!

Zizai Immortal Power accumulated and surged at an astonishing speed.

A hundred years!

A thousand years!

Ten thousand years!

The first stage of the Free and Natural Heavenly Art reached Perfection, and his Cultivation naturally advanced, reaching the Peak of the True Immortal Realm!

In the True Immortal Realm, one condenses their own Law Immortal Text and refines it to the extreme.

Immediately after, another ten thousand years of arduous Cultivation!

The first Bottleneck shattered with a roar, and Xiao Zhuo's entire body erupted with immortal light, officially advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

Unparalleled Immortal Power stirred up a violent hurricane in the White Mist Space, sweeping and raging.

Layers of profound and mysterious phenomena ascended, supporting Xiao Zhuo, who sat in the center, as if he were an ancient immortal god who had created heaven and earth.

Xiao Zhuo's heart was like a rock, unmoving, and the addition of Attribute Points continued.

Each year of comprehending the Heavenly Immortal stage of the Free and Natural Heavenly Art required the consumption of four hundred Attribute Points.

To Breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, Xiao Zhuo had already consumed nearly eight million points.

The Void Realm Immortal Qi continuously flowed into his immortal body, and he began to assault the profound mysteries of the second stage of the Free and Natural Heavenly Art.

In the White Mist Space, time left no trace.

Year after year of arduous Cultivation solidified his strength. When the Attribute Points once again sharply decreased by eighteen million, Xiao Zhuo's aura had already reached the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

In the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the Immortal Text was stable, and he began to touch upon the Cultivation of the Dao; Xiao Zhuo had long since comprehended his own Dao, making rapid progress in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Remaining Attribute Points: fifty-six million.

Cultivation did not stop; Attribute Points continued to burn frantically.

Fifty-five million!

Fifty million!

Forty million!

Boom—!

A colossal sound, like the creation of heaven and earth, exploded at the core of the White Mist Space!

Terrifying pressure instantly pushed away the surging torrent of Immortal Qi, and Xiao Zhuo's body involuntarily floated into the air.

A circle of profound light patterns, imbued with supreme Dao Principle, spread out from around him, and a vast Concept of 'Freedom without restraint, my will is heaven' enveloped a hundred zhang radius.

The Dao Domain of Freedom/Self-Mastery appeared!

Within the Dao Domain, countless Law auras danced like dragons and snakes, colliding and fusing intensely, as if they were about to break free from their illusory shackles and condense into substance at any moment!

Xiao Zhuo's aura suddenly soared several times at this moment, like an ancient behemoth awakening completely from its slumber!

The Profound Immortal Realm was achieved!

Almost simultaneously with the Realm Breakthrough, the myriad Laws surging within the Dao Domain began an astonishing process of materialization.

The Law of Thunder transformed into winding, roaring purple electric Dragons, tearing through the Void Realm. The Soul Law condensed into shimmering, ethereal blue light points, swirling like a star river.

The Space Law twisted and folded, forming stable boundary Realms and passages. The Law of Time flowed like silver sand, accelerating or decelerating a corner of time within the Dao Domain... The Law of Metal condensed into majestic mineral veins, the Law of Wood gave rise to towering giant trees, the Law of Water gathered into surging rivers, the Law of Fire ignited subterranean magma, and the Law of Earth piled up continuous mountain ranges!

The Law of Light transformed into a brilliant sun hanging in the sky, and the Law of Darkness settled into a deep night sky.

The Yin and Yang Law circulated endlessly, harmonizing all things, while the Law of Strength permeated heaven and earth, supporting the framework of the entire world... The Dao Domain began to expand wildly, no longer an illusory Domain, but rapidly evolving into a real Small World!

With every breath, the territory expanded by a hundred zhang!

Xiao Zhuo sat cross-legged in the center of this rapidly forming world, his eyes tightly closed, yet his Divine Thought had merged with the entire nascent world, guiding this creative power.

The earth continuously extended with a rumbling sound, mountains rose, and plains spread out.

Rivers surged, flowing into nascent oceans. Forests, like green flames, quickly covered the exposed soil.

The sky became increasingly vast and profound, with the brilliant sun condensed from the Law of Light and the bright moon formed by the power of the Great Yin hanging high, rotating alternately according to the trajectory of the Law of Time, casting endless radiance and clear light.

In the deep night sky, the Law of Stars began to respond, and billions of dazzling starlight points illuminated one after another, forming a vast star river, adorning this nascent firmament.

All of this was directly condensed and manifested from the myriad Laws Xiao Zhuo had comprehended!

His Dao Domain world was transforming at an incredible speed, from a Domain of interwoven Laws to a real Small World with a nascent, complete ecological cycle!

This was by no means comparable to the Myriad Ages Evergreen Realm, which the Evergreen True Immortal had refined with external objects.

Xiao Zhuo's Small World was rooted in the myriad Dao Principles he commanded, evolving naturally from within; its Foundation was so profound, its structure so perfect, and its potential so immense, far surpassing the former.

The Myriad Ages Evergreen Realm was set at its birth, with its upper limit fixed.

However, Xiao Zhuo's Small World was like a true living embryo; it would continue to grow, transform, and strengthen as his Cultivation Realm continuously improved and his comprehension of Laws deepened!

One day, it might even evolve into a Minor Thousand, ascend to a Middle Thousand, or even... contend for the boundless Great Thousand World, which was not an illusion!

Xiao Zhuo's consciousness was immersed in this grand spectacle of creation.

He was the creator of this world; with a thought, the Laws responded.

Do the mountains need to be taller? The Law of Strength and the Law of Earth resonated, the earth veins rumbled and rose, and Peaks pierced the clouds.

Does the ocean need to be vaster? The Law of Water surged endlessly, creating water from the Void Realm, with vast blue waves crashing against the nascent coastline.

Does the firmament need to be more stable? The Space Law intertwined into invisible meridians, the boundary Realms were tough, isolating the chaotic boundary Realm energy from the outside world.

The consumption of Attribute Points reached a terrifying speed.

Every materialization of a Law, every expansion of the world, was accompanied by the evaporation of millions of points.

The enormous figure of forty million was now plummeting at a visible rate.

Thirty-five million!

Thirty million!

Twenty million!

The expansion rate of the Dao Domain world began to slow, but its internal evolution became more refined and intricate.

The Yin and Yang Law harmonized, and the day-night temperature difference stabilized.

Water vapor rose into the sky under the sun's evaporation, then condensed in the cold night, turning into drizzling spiritual rain that nourished the flora stimulated by the Law of Wood.

Tiny life auras quietly germinated within the rich Law spiritual essence; although still far from giving birth to true living beings, this world already possessed the cradle for life.

Xiao Zhuo's mind was closely connected to the world's core.

He could feel the flow of magma deep within the earth, hear the breathing of wood spirits in the forest, and touch the trajectories of the stars.

His Dao Domain of Freedom/Self-Mastery was not only a combat space, a storage world, but also became the carrier of his Great Dao, the ultimate manifestation of his Dao Principle of Freedom!

The more perfect the world became, the deeper his comprehension of the myriad Dao Principles, and his Cultivation in the Profound Immortal Realm also rose accordingly, steadily climbing towards that Peak Realm.

Ten million!

Five million!

One million!

When the last attribute point dissipated into nothingness, the entire White Mist Space shook violently, then slowly vanished as if its mission was complete.

Xiao Zhuo's figure, suspended in the Void Realm, gently landed back in the space he had carved out deep within the dead star.

He slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant, it was as if the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers rotated and cycled through birth and death within his gaze!

A magnificent aura, complete, vast, and seemingly carrying the World Power of a world, naturally permeated the space, squeezing the solid rock walls of the underground space until they groaned under the immense pressure.

He looked within himself; his Sea of Consciousness had completely disappeared, replaced by the nascent Small World, suspended deep within his Sea of Consciousness, closely connected to his Primordial Spirit, with Laws circulating endlessly!

At the core of the world, vast and pure Zizai Immortal Power surged like an ocean.

Profound Immortal Peak!

Only less than five million Attribute Points remained on the panel; the rest had all transformed into the Foundation for this Small World and his own ascent to the absolute Peak of the Profound Immortal Realm.

At this moment, Xiao Zhuo's aura was as deep and profound as an abyss; with every gesture, invisible World Power followed him.

He felt the unprecedented, powerful strength, tens of thousands of times greater than the True Immortal Realm, within him, and his gaze pierced through the thick rock layers, looking towards the Immortal-Demon Realm deep within the boundary Realm, a profound light flashing in his eyes.
