84: The holy land returns, and all laws converge.

The incident at the Nether Rift Valley swept through the entire Eastern Domain like a storm.

The name of Lu Qingxuan once again shook all directions.

Suppressing the three envoys of the Void Abyss from afar, slaughtering hundreds of Cultivators while guarding the Hall of Rebirth alone, crushing the Undergoing Tribulation Incarnation with the power of an ancient god corpse...

One by one, these events exceeded the bounds of conventional understanding.

Countless factions began to re-evaluate the weight of Grand Void Holy Land, and those enemies who had originally coveted it in secret, acting restlessly, now hurriedly retracted their claws and teeth, slipping into an even deeper state of hibernation.

The tree wants to be still, but the wind will not cease.

A true undercurrent was surging in the depths of the Star Domain.

---

Three days later.

Outside the gates of Grand Void Holy Land.

The clouds and mist that had shrouded the sealed mountain for years began to slowly dissipate at this moment.

The mountain-guarding Disciples stood tall, their gazes sharp as swords, and even the weakest among them possessed the strength of the Golden Core Middle Stage—which was already the level of an Elder in other Sects.

In the distant sky, hundreds of streams of light were speeding over.

These were representatives of various factions who, upon receiving the news that the "Xuan Emperor has returned and the Holy Land has reopened," had rushed over at the first Opportunity to pay respects, form alliances, or simply catch a glimpse of his true form.

Leading them were none other than Jin Wanxiang of the Myriad Realms Merchant Alliance and Mo Yuan of the Star Sea Pavilion.

Behind the two followed dozens of powerful attendants, carrying various congratulatory gifts.

"Manager Jin, do you think Holy Master Lu might have already touched the threshold of the Body Integration Stage upon his return this time?" Mo Yuan asked via voice transmission, his tone filled with reverence.

Jin Wanxiang shook his head with a bitter smile: "Deacon Mo, it is best if you and I stop trying to fathom that person with conventional logic. When he was at the Soul Transformation Peak, he could already suppress and kill Body Integration experts and forcefully shake the Undergoing Tribulation Incarnation... Now that he has returned from the Hall of Rebirth, I fear his true combat power is beyond anything we can imagine."

Mo Yuan deeply agreed and said no more.

Just as everyone approached within ten miles of the mountain gate—

Dong!

A melodious bell toll rang out from the depths of the Holy Land, resounding through the sky.

Immediately after, the clouds and mist in front of the mountain gate completely dispersed, revealing the thousand-foot-long staircase paved with white jade that led to the heavens.

At the end of the staircase, a figure in black robes stood with hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering without wind.

It was Lu Qingxuan.

He merely stood there, without releasing any pressure, yet it made all those flying in feel a chill in their hearts, involuntarily slowing their speed, retracting their auras, and landing slowly as if on a pilgrimage.

"Respectfully welcoming the Xuan Emperor's return!"

"Congratulations to Grand Void Holy Land for reopening its gates!"

"The Myriad Realms Merchant Alliance / Star Sea Pavilion has come to offer congratulations!"

Hundreds of people bowed in unison, their voices shaking the mountains and wilderness.

Lu Qingxuan's gaze swept over them calmly, and he nodded slightly: "You all have good intentions."

He waved his sleeves gently, and a soft supporting force lifted everyone up.

"From today on, Grand Void Holy Land officially lifts the mountain seal and reopens its gates."

"Anyone who wishes to be on good terms with the Holy Land may enter the 'Myriad Laws Hall' to register, and we shall maintain mutual communication in the future."

"As for those who are enemies of the Holy Land..."

He paused, his voice turning cold abruptly:

"Feel free to come and try."

As his words fell, an invisible pressure like the collapse of the firmament instantly shrouded the area within a hundred miles!

Every Cultivator, whether Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation, felt their Divine Soul tremble, as if they were being stared at by a prehistoric Vicious Beast, their life and death hanging on the other's single thought!

Even strong experts like Jin Wanxiang and Mo Yuan, who were at the Body Integration Early Stage, had cold sweat seeping from their foreheads, their hearts filled with horror.

This pressure... was several times stronger than the rumors from three days ago!

"We respectfully obey the Xuan Emperor's decree!" Everyone hurriedly bowed and responded, no longer daring to harbor any ulterior motives.

"Enter the mountain." Lu Qingxuan withdrew his pressure and turned to walk into the mountain gate.

Jin Wanxiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away their cold sweat, and cautiously followed.

---

At the Peak of the Holy Land's main mountain.

Lu Qingxuan dismissed everyone, leaving only the Previous Holy Master Lu Mingdao and the three Grand Elders.

"Qingxuan, how was the harvest from this trip?" Lu Mingdao asked with concern.

"It was acceptable." Lu Qingxuan flipped his hand to take out ten drops of condensed chaos origin source, as well as that piece of ancient god memory fragment.

As soon as the chaos origin source appeared, the Spiritual Qi of the entire main Peak instantly boiled, and its quality even began to spontaneously improve!

"This is... chaos origin source?!" A Grand Elder exclaimed, "A single drop is a supreme treasure sufficient to allow a Soul Transformation expert to break through the Body Integration Bottleneck! You actually have ten drops?!"

"Refined from the ancient god corpse." Lu Qingxuan said calmly, "These ten drops shall be distributed among the four of you; it should allow all of you to break through to the Body Integration Stage within a year."

Lu Mingdao and the others breathed heavily, their hands trembling with excitement.

The Body Integration Stage... that was the Realm they had dreamed of!

"Furthermore..." Lu Qingxuan took out the [Ancient God's Fragmented Memory], sharing the images regarding "ten thousand ruins" and the dark flesh with the four of them via Divine Thought.

After watching, the faces of the four became grave.

"Dark existences from the ancient era... actually capable of polluting the galaxy and fighting to the death with ancient gods..." Lu Mingdao said in a deep voice, "Qingxuan, do you mean that the Void Abyss is likely related to this 'ten thousand ruins'?"

"It is not a possibility, it is a certainty." Lu Qingxuan pointed to the writhing dark flesh in the memory images, "The aura of the Void Abyss is of the same Origin as this flesh. I suspect that the Void Abyss is a... newborn entity formed by the residual will and part of the flesh after the 'ten thousand ruins' fell."

The three Grand Elders gasped.

"If that is truly the case... then the ultimate goal of the Void Abyss is likely not just to erode the Eastern Domain." A Grand Elder said with a trembling voice, "It wants to reproduce the might of the 'ten thousand ruins' and devour the heavens and all Realms!"

"Therefore, there is not much time left for us." Cold light flickered in Lu Qingxuan's eyes, "We must build Grand Void Holy Land into a... war fortress capable of resisting or even crushing them before the true army of the Void Abyss arrives."

"What plan do you have?" Lu Mingdao asked solemnly.

Lu Qingxuan stood up, walked outside the hall, and looked down at the entire Holy Land.

In his eyes, countless streams of data began to scroll.

【myriad things entry system】, full power deduction!

【Detected: chaos origin source x10, world wreckage core (effect retained after use), Holy Land Origin (Chaos · growth type), reincarnation sapling (growth), massive amounts of Dao rhyme fragments...】

【Detected current state of Holy Land: Dragon Vein has been reshaped (World Tree phantom), mountain protection Formation upgraded (Primordial Dark Star Formation + Nirvana Reincarnation Realm), Disciple strength significantly improved...】

【Starting deduction of 'Holy Land Ultimate Upgrade Plan'...】

【Plan 1: chaos reincarnation cultivation tower — Based on the chaotic Dao rhyme remaining from the ancient god corpse, fusing the rebirth power of the reincarnation sapling to build a nine-story cultivation tower. The time flow rate inside the tower can be adjusted (up to 1:10), containing Chaos Law and the true meaning of Reincarnation, which can significantly improve the speed of Disciples' Dao comprehension, and has a chance to awaken Chaos or Reincarnation-type Physiques / Divine Abilities. Requirements: chaos origin source x5, reincarnation sapling leaves x3, various Dao rhyme fragments x1000...】

【Plan 2: Myriad Laws Converging Hall — Using the Holy Land Origin as the core, fusing the myriad Laws affinity state to build a Legacy holy hall. The hall can automatically deduce, optimize, and store all the Holy Land's Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities, and automatically match the best cultivation path according to the Disciple's Physique. Requirements: Holy Land Origin power (massive), myriad Laws affinity state (needs to actively separate a portion), various Cultivation Technique Jade Slips x10000+...】

【Plan 3: Star Domain Teleportation Array — Based on the 'spatial beacon' characteristic of the world wreckage core, build a super-large Formation capable of cross-Star Domain teleportation. Theoretically, it can connect the Eastern Domain to any known Star Domain (coordinates need to be marked in advance), but it requires a huge amount of Spirit Stones (at least one million High-Grade Spirit Stones per activation). Requirements: space-type Dao rhyme fragments x500, Void Realm crystals x10000, full power deduction by the Formation Grandmaster entry...】

【Deduction complete, please select.】

The System light screen unfolded before his eyes.

Lu Qingxuan did not hesitate:

"Select all."

【Instruction confirmed.】

【Starting to execute plan Fusion deduction... Estimated time: three days.】

【During this period, Holy Land resources will be automatically allocated, please ensure resources are sufficient.】

"Qingxuan?" Lu Mingdao saw him silent and called out softly.

"It is nothing." Lu Qingxuan regained his focus and turned to say, "Father, three Elders, for the next three days, I need to mobilize all of the Holy Land's reserve resources to carry out a... thorough transformation."

"Transformation?" The four were stunned.

"Yes." Lu Qingxuan nodded, "Three days later, Grand Void Holy Land will no longer look like it does now."

"But instead..."

"The number one Holy Land in the Eastern Domain, and even... the foundation of a hegemon in the future Star Sea."

His voice was calm, yet carried unquestionable determination.

Lu Mingdao and the four looked at each other and bowed in unison:

"We defer entirely to the Holy Master's decision!"

At this moment, they completely let go of their status as Elders and truly regarded Lu Qingxuan as the... sole Dominator of Grand Void Holy Land.

---

Three days later.

When the first ray of morning sunlight fell, the entire Grand Void Holy Land suddenly shook violently!

It was not an earthquake, but... some deeper level of "metamorphosis"!

All Disciples and Elders rushed out of their Immortal Caves, looking toward the source of the shaking—

Behind the Holy Land's main Peak, in the original trial valley area.

At this moment, there were nine gray-white pillars of light reaching the sky shooting up from there!

Within the pillars of light, a giant tower, a thousand feet tall, with nine stories, constructed entirely of Chaos stone and Reincarnation wood, was slowly rising from the ground!

On the surface of the tower, chaotic Qi and Reincarnation runes flowed, and at the top of the tower, a phantom of a six-foot-tall reincarnation sapling swayed, scattering specks of Reincarnation radiance.

【chaos reincarnation cultivation tower】, complete!

Almost simultaneously, next to the Holy Land's main hall, another more magnificent hall, entirely purple-gold, rose from the ground!

Above the hall's entrance hung a plaque with four large characters flowing with Dao rhyme:

Myriad Laws Converging!

【Myriad Laws Converging Hall】, complete!

And at the edge of the Holy Land, three hundred miles from the mountain gate, a super-giant Formation platform covering a ten-mile radius also slowly condensed and took shape amidst the flickering of countless spatial runes!

In the center of the platform, a "spatial beacon" refined from the world wreckage core rotated slowly, emitting fluctuations that spanned the Star Domain.

【Star Domain Teleportation Array】, complete!

Three buildings, completed simultaneously!

Heavenly phenomena followed!

Above the main Peak, the phantom of the World Tree Spiritual Vein grew crazily, its branches even beginning to condense into illusory "Dao fruits"—each Dao fruit contained a wisp of pure Great Dao Law fragment!

Spiritual Qi surged like a tsunami, and its quality jumped directly from the original pale gold to... purple-gold!

That was the legendary "Innate Purple Qi," the top-tier Spiritual Qi that only occasionally appeared during the Peak period of ancient Holy Lands!

Every Disciple and Elder, the moment they inhaled the first breath of purple-gold Spiritual Qi, felt their Bottlenecks loosen, and their Cultivation Technique operation speed skyrocketed several times over!

"I... I broke through! The Golden Core Middle Stage that I've been stuck at for three years has reached the Late Stage!"

"Me too! The Bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Early Stage has loosened!"

"Quick! Quickly meditate and Cultivate! This is a tremendous Opportunity!"

The entire Holy Land was in an uproar.

And the even more shocking part was yet to come.

Lu Qingxuan's figure appeared at the top of the chaos reincarnation cultivation tower.

His voice spread to every corner of the Holy Land:

"From today on, the chaos reincarnation cultivation tower is open."

"Qi Refining Disciples may enter the first floor; the time flow rate inside the tower is 1:2, the Spiritual Qi concentration is ten times that of the outside world, and it contains basic Chaos Dao rhyme."

"Foundation Establishment Disciples may enter the second floor, with a time flow rate of 1:3, twenty times the Spiritual Qi concentration, and it contains the Elementary true meaning of Reincarnation."

"Golden Core Disciples may enter the third floor..."

"Nascent Soul Elders may enter the fifth floor..."

"Soul Transformation and above may enter the seventh to ninth floors, with a time flow rate of up to 1:10, a hundred times the Spiritual Qi concentration, and a chance to comprehend complete Chaos and Reincarnation Law fragments."

"All Disciples may exchange contribution points for entry time."

"Additionally, the Myriad Laws Converging Hall is open simultaneously. The hall has already collected all of the Holy Land's Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities, totaling over thirty-seven thousand, and will deduce the best cultivation path according to your Physique and cultivation base."

"Each person can consult the Palace Spirit for free once a month; subsequent consultations will require consuming contribution points."

As his words fell, all the Disciples trembled with excitement.

Such cultivation conditions... were simply unheard of!

Let alone the Eastern Domain, I fear there are not many in the entire Star Sea that can compare!

"Long live the Holy Master!"

"Swear to serve the Holy Land to the death!"

The shouts, like a tsunami, shook the sky.

Lu Qingxuan nodded slightly, but his gaze was cast further away.

In his perception, on the 【myriad ages demon suppressing star chart】, that dark trajectory extending from the endless Star Domain was less than a month's journey from the Eastern Domain...

"Come then..."

He whispered to himself, chaotic light swirling in his eyes.

"Let me see exactly how much weight the so-called 'Abyss Apostles' have."

"And this number one Holy Land in the Eastern Domain... it is time to establish its prestige with a true bloody battle."

Above the Holy Land, purple-gold Spiritual Qi swirled like a dragon.

In the distance, dark clouds were gathering in the sky.
