61: All things converge and merge into one, from which the primordial Dao originates.

After leaving the Floating Stone Reef, Lu Qingxuan did not rush directly into the most dangerous interior of the Accretion Disk. He chose a relatively hidden area, a natural depression formed by several massive intersecting meteorites, and temporarily stopped.

Earlier, on the stone reef, he appeared to be merely establishing his authority casually, but in reality, the moment he descended, his powerful Divine Sense silently enveloped the entire reef area like invisible mercury. The power of the myriad things entry system was simultaneously activated, scanning all Cultivators present—whether Soul Transformation or Body Integration, righteous or wicked—as long as they possessed special entries.

At this moment, his System space had accumulated a massive, diverse collection of entry light spheres, flashing with colors ranging from white, green, blue, purple, to gold. Numbering in the tens of thousands, they encompassed almost all the Cultivation Technique characteristics, Physique fragments, Divine Ability talents, and even special statuses of the Cultivators present.

"It's time for a large-scale Fusion," Lu Qingxuan murmured, his gaze profound. He knew that the depths of the Guixu Sea Eye were fraught with danger, not only natural perils but also terrifying existences like the Void Abyss and Reapers, as well as formidable experts watching covetously from all sides. Although his current strength was enough to dominate the periphery, he needed to advance further if he wished to explore the core secrets.

His thoughts sank into the System space, and the vast, star-sea-like entry database instantly appeared before his "eyes."

First, there was a massive quantity of low-grade entries. Countless white [Sharp Metal Art Insight], [Thick Earth Mind-Cultivation Technique], [Basic Fire Control]; green [Light Body Technique Mastery], [Turtle Breathing Technique Enhancement], [Low-Grade Sword Dao Affinity]; blue [Ice Shield], [Gale Escape Speed], [Intermediate Alchemy]... These entries came from the most numerous low-level Cultivators. Although individually low in quality, their massive quantity represented the fundamental threads of the myriad Dao Laws in the Cultivation World.

"System, use the Chaos Myriad Transformation Divine Art as the core to batch Fuse and purify all white, green, and blue quality entries!"

As the command was issued, an invisible storm seemed to erupt within the System space. Countless low-grade entry light spheres, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged towards and plunged into the Chaos-colored light mass representing the Chaos Myriad Transformation Divine Art. The Chaos Myriad Transformation Divine Art itself possesses the characteristic of embracing all rivers and evolving myriad Laws. Now, supplemented by this massive resource of Dao laws—enough to constitute the entire Foundation of a medium-to-small Sect—it immediately began to boil and expand violently.

Inside the Chaos light mass, it was as if heaven and earth were being created. Countless basic Dao principles were decomposed, refined, and purified, their most fundamental rule fragments being assimilated and absorbed by the Chaos. Lu Qingxuan could clearly feel his understanding of the fundamentals of all Laws in the world deepening and broadening at a terrifying speed. The Soul Transformation chapter of the Chaos Myriad Transformation Divine Art became more profound and vast, operating more seamlessly and flawlessly. His magical power flowed endlessly, and the quality of the Chaos Qi produced also increased significantly.

After dealing with the low-grade entries, next came the equally massive number of purple entries. These mostly came from the elite Disciples and some Elders of various forces, representing more profound Divine Abilities and traits.

[Geng Metal Sword Body (Purple)], [Yi Wood Spirit Body (Purple)], [Li Fire Burning Heaven Art (Purple)], [Profound Water Dragon Binding Spell (Purple)], [Wu Earth Vajra Shield (Purple)]... The entries for Cultivation Techniques and Physiques belonging to the Five Elements were dazzlingly numerous.

[Illusion Breaking Spirit Eye (Purple)], [Telepathy (Incomplete) (Purple)], [Size As Desired Divine Ability (Purple)], [Clone Phantom (Purple)]... Various strange and powerful Divine Abilities were also plentiful.

There were also large numbers of Body Refining and combat-oriented entries stripped from the Fierce Evil Alliance Cultivators, such as [Evil Qi Body Tempering (Purple)] and [Rampaging Battle Intent (Purple)].

"System, filter all purple quality entries, using the Chaos Divine Demon Body (Elementary) and Exquisite Dao Heart as the main core recipients, and perform targeted Fusion enhancement!"

Buzz!

The massive quantity of purple entries split into two torrents. One merged into the Chaos God-Demon Body light mass, which radiated a wild, immortal aura, while the other plunged into the Exquisite Dao Heart light mass, which was clear, translucent, and reflected myriad Laws.

The Chaos God-Demon Body greedily absorbed various Body Refining, Vital Energy, Evil Qi, and Five Elements Spirit Body entries. Its light mass trembled violently, and the dark golden light grew increasingly intense. The layer of Chaos Runes on its surface became more complex and profound, faintly echoing with the chanting of ancient Gods and Demons. Lu Qingxuan could feel his Physical Body strength, defense, recovery ability, and resistance to various energy damages all rapidly increasing, launching a fierce assault on the "Intermediate" Bottleneck.

After fusing numerous Spirit Eyes, Telepathy, and Illusion Resistance entries related to Divine Soul and Comprehension Ability, the Exquisite Dao Heart became even more crystalline and brilliant. Its ability to deduce, comprehend the Dao, and perceive falsehoods surged. At this moment, he even felt a vague ability to sense the emotional fluctuations of others and see through some low-grade Illusion Formations and disguises.

Finally, the main event—those precious entries radiating golden light. These mostly came from the Body Integration Stage mighty experts on the stone reef, as well as some Soul Transformation Cultivators with special identities and extraordinary talents.

[Pure and Inactive Dao Heart (Gold)] and [Big Dipper Star Canon (Gold)], copied from the Old Daoist of the Hidden Dao Sect.

[Treasure Appraisal Spirit Pupils (Gold)] and [Merchant Dao Luck (Weak) (Gold)], copied from the Fat Old Man of the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower.

[Nine Nether Ghost Summoning Art (Gold)] and [Yellow Springs Death Qi Affinity (Gold)], copied from the Black-Robed Leader of the Netherworld Sect.

[Savage Elephant Suppressing Prison Art (Gold)] and [Void Splitting Ax Intent (Gold)], stripped from the One-Eyed Strong Man of the Fierce Evil Alliance.

As well as various gold-grade Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities, and special Physique fragments obtained from many others, including Mo Yuan of the Star Sea Pavilion and the rescued Green-Robed Sword Cultivator.

All in all, there were dozens of gold-grade entries, each one capable of inciting conflict if placed outside.

Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath, his gaze finally settling on the most core light masses in the System space—the Chaos Law, the Azure Emperor Longevity Art, chaos seed green lotus, and the Chaos Return to Ruin Dao Domain. These were the fundamental pillars of his Dao.

"System, use the Chaos Law as the Foundation, the Azure Emperor Longevity Art as the guide, and the chaos seed green lotus and the Chaos Return to Ruin Dao Domain as auxiliary components, Fuse all gold quality entries, deduce and condense them, and step onto the path of transcendence!"

This was his boldest attempt yet! He intended to perform an unprecedented grand Fusion of all the gold entries harvested this time, along with his own core Chaos-series abilities, hoping to glimpse the Realm beyond Chaos!

"Command confirmed. Beginning Fusion... Energy injection... Dao principle parsing... Rule reconstruction..."

The System prompt tone became solemn as never before. The entire System space seemed to solidify, and all the light converged toward the center. The dozens of gold entries, like moths flying into a flame, plunged resolutely into the massive Chaos vortex formed by the core Chaos entries.

The Chaos Law devoured the Star Order of the Big Dipper Star Canon, the Shattering True Intent of Void Splitting Ax Intent, and the Concept of Termination from Yellow Springs Death Qi... The Azure Emperor Longevity Art harmonized the Dao Realm of Pure and Inactive, the vitality of Yi Wood Spirit Body, and the mysteries of Merchant Dao Luck... The chaos seed green lotus phenomenon absorbed the nourishment of myriad Laws, and the phantom of the chaos green lotus grew more solid. As its petals swayed, it seemed to encompass the birth and destruction of Myriad Worlds.

The Chaos Return to Ruin Dao Domain, meanwhile, frantically absorbed all Dao principles related to destruction, termination, and Chaos. The Return to Ruin True Intent within it grew increasingly profound and terrifying.

The Fusion process was extremely intense. Terrifying fluctuations capable of tearing apart the Divine Soul erupted from the center of the Chaos vortex. Various Great Dao Rules collided and repelled each other, yet ultimately, under the System's supreme power and the inclusive nature of Chaos, they were forcibly melted into a single furnace.

Lu Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the meteorite. The Chaos Qi outside his body surged uncontrollably, engulfing the entire meteorite depression. His glabella glowed, and the chaos immortal infant in his Sea of Consciousness was simultaneously undergoing a fierce transformation. Countless ancient Dao Patterns never seen before appeared on its small body.

He did not know how much time had passed; perhaps an instant, perhaps an eternity.

Inside the System space, the violent Chaos vortex suddenly contracted. All the light, all the Dao principles, and all the energy were compressed to an extreme.

Immediately afterward, a beam of light whose color defied description suddenly erupted!

That light transcended gold and surpassed all colors Lu Qingxuan knew, carrying the supreme essence of "Primordial Beginning," "Origin," and "Uniqueness"! It was not dazzling, yet it seemed capable of illuminating the Origin of all mysteries across the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

The light slowly retracted, finally condensing into a light mass only the size of a fist, yet seemingly containing infinite possibilities. The core of the light mass was a warm and pure "red," like the first spark of life when all things were born, or the original Singularity before the Universe's creation.

The light mass silently hovered in the absolute center of the System space. All other entries, including the core Chaos entries, slowly revolved around it, like subjects paying homage to a monarch.

At the same time, a piece of information flowed into Lu Qingxuan's mind:

[Primordial Dao Source (Red)]

[The supreme entry born from the extreme sublimation of a massive Foundation of Myriad Laws and numerous gold-grade Law characteristics within the Chaos Furnace, breaking boundaries and glimpsing a trace of the "Dao's" Origin. It is not a specific Cultivation Technique or Divine Ability, but a "state," a "Status," and a type of "Dao Source Affinity."]

[Effect]:

1. Myriad Laws Return to Origin: Passively and greatly enhances the speed of comprehension, understanding, and control over all Laws, energy, and Dao Rhyme in the world. Any Divine Ability or Spell is mastered upon learning, perfected upon mastery, and can even be innovated, pointing directly to its fundamental rules.

2. Dao Source Affinity: Greatly increases affinity with the Origin of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, causing cultivation speed to skyrocket and Bottlenecks to weaken. Can easily draw upon deeper levels of Great Dao Power to bless oneself.

3. Primordial Beginning Power: Allows the activation of a faint trace of "Primordial Beginning Power." This power possesses an extremely high Status, combining the characteristics of "Creation" and "Origin." It naturally suppresses and assimilates powers lower in Status (including most Chaos Power and Law Power). It can also, to a certain extent, reverse "Return to Ruin" and Ignite Vitality. (Note: Activation consumes a massive amount of energy; use with caution.)

4. Dao Seal Self-Generation: The Physical Body and Divine Soul automatically condense the "Primordial Dao Seal." It Wards Off All Evil, makes Heart Demons difficult to approach, and greatly enhances resistance to negative effects such as curses, Bewitchment, and deprivation.

A Red entry! Surpassing the golden legend and reaching a brand new, unknown grade!

Lu Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes. His pupils were no longer merely the color of Chaos, but seemed to contain the birth and destruction of countless worlds and the flow of Primordial Beginning Light. He felt that his life level had undergone a fundamental leap at this moment. He viewed this starry sky and the enormous Guixu Sea Eye from a completely different perspective. Many profound Great Dao Truths that were previously obscure now became clear and comprehensible.

He gently raised his hand, and a faint, warm red halo circulated on his fingertips. The surrounding violent Cosmic Energy, chaotic Magnetic Force, and even the Devouring Dao Principle faintly emanating from the Guixu Sea Eye, all became docile upon touching this red halo, as if they had encountered a monarch.

"Primordial Dao Source..." Lu Qingxuan murmured, sensing the unprecedented power and control within him.

This Fusion not only resulted in the birth of a Red entry but also nourished and enhanced all his core abilities. The Chaos God-Demon Body successfully advanced to Intermediate, with a Physical Body strength comparable to a Body Cultivator at the Body Integration Late Stage! The Chaos Return to Ruin Dao Domain had a smaller range but more condensed power. Its Return to Ruin True Intent even contained a trace of Primordial Beginning's "Negation" meaning, seeming capable of defining "Termination." Furthermore, the Chaos Myriad Transformation Divine Art was directly deduced to the Peak Soul Transformation Realm level!

His cultivation, naturally and smoothly, soared from the Early Soul Transformation Stage, directly bypassing the Mid-stage Spirit Transformation Realm, and reaching the Spirit Transformation Late Stage! Moreover, his Foundation was incredibly solid, showing no signs of instability.

His strength had undergone an earth-shattering transformation!

He stood up, his gaze once again fixed on the profound and terrifying Guixu Sea Eye, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Now, it was time to truly confront this Universe Death Zone and the Monsters and Demons lurking within it.

His figure moved, transforming into an invisible stream of light. It was no longer Chaos-colored but seemed to merge into the Void Realm itself, silently yet resolutely shooting toward the final vortex center at a speed several times faster than before.
