468: Golden Lotus of Laws, Transformation of Cultivation Technique

Time flew by, and another two months passed.

It had been exactly three months since Shen Yuanmo annihilated the Li Family and entered secluded cultivation in the Nine Heavens Pagoda.

The mysterious Dao sound that had resonated throughout the city that day had long since subsided.

However, the aftershocks it brought continued to ferment and intensify within South Heaven Immortal City.

The cultivation of all the Cultivators in the city had improved to varying degrees.

Countless people broke through Bottlenecks they had faced for years, raising the city's overall strength by a whole level out of thin air.

The Nine Heavens Pagoda, a structure that was originally just a scenic spot in the city, had now become a supreme Holy Land in the hearts of all Cultivators.

As for that mysterious Senior, he was revered by countless Cultivators as a Living Dao Ancestor.

On this day, South Heaven Immortal City was breezy and sunny.

City Lord Nangong Bo, who was personally acting as a Protector for Shen Yuanmo a hundred miles away from the Nine Heavens Pagoda, slowly opened his eyes after two months of insight.

This made his Half-step Mahayana Bottleneck loosen even further, and the awe in his heart for the one inside the pagoda had already climbed to its peak.

But just as he was about to enter meditation again, his expression suddenly changed.

He abruptly looked up toward the firmament.

The sky, which had been clear for ten thousand miles, had somehow begun to grow dim.

Yet this was not dark clouds obscuring the sun, but a deeper, more solemn sight.

Above the firmament, endless Spiritual Qi and invisible Law power were gathering frantically.

They intertwined, compressed, and condensed with each other.

Finally, under the horrified gaze of millions of Cultivators in South Heaven Immortal City, they transformed into blooming golden lotuses one after another.

Those lotuses were not physical entities but were composed of pure Law runes.

They were brilliant all over, with a natural dao rhyme; the unfolding of every petal seemed to be explaining the ultimate truths of a Great Dao.

"Heaven... Heaven-sent golden lotuses?"

"What a phenomenon! I've only seen records of this in ancient texts; only when an ancient Saint preaches the Dao can the Laws be triggered to transform into lotuses!"

Inside the Wang Family residence, an old woman tremblingly walked out of her Immortal Cave.

She gazed up at the thousands of slowly rotating, incredibly holy Golden Lotuses of Law in the sky.

The old woman's face was full of shock, her expression stunned.

"Mother... is this... is this also caused by that Senior?"

The head of the Wang Family stood by her side, his voice dry and his Dao Heart trembling.

"Who else could it be but him!" The old woman's voice carried a hint of awe.

"Just what kind of being... what kind of being has moved into our South Heaven City!"

It wasn't just the Wang Family.

Within the Zhang Family, Chen Family, and other cultivation clans in South Heaven Immortal City, all the high-level Cultivators were now speechless.

They had originally thought that the Great Dao resonance a month ago, which had caused an Epiphany throughout the city, was that Senior's limit.

But the sight before them completely shattered their inherent perceptions.

Buzz—

Just as the minds of the city's Cultivators were reeling, the thousands of golden lotuses in the sky trembled in unison.

Then, they slowly dissolved, turning into a rain of golden light that covered the entire South Heaven Immortal City.

The light rain was silent, yet it contained unimaginable vitality and dao rhyme.

A Cultivator with a severed arm, who had no hope of further cultivation in this life, was drenched by the light rain.

Beneath that empty sleeve, muscle, bone, and flesh actually regrew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a medicine garden, Spirit Medicines that originally needed another hundred years to mature.

Under the nourishment of the light rain, they matured completely in just a few breaths, their fragrance soaring to the sky.

Countless Mortals in the city bathed in the light rain, feeling all their ailments vanish and their bodies become lighter than ever before.

Some elderly people on the verge of death actually regained their youth, growing black hair.

"A miracle... this is a true miracle!"

"Heavens... I feel like my Spiritual Root Aptitude has even improved slightly!"

"Quick! Absorb it! This is a supreme immortal opportunity bestowed upon us by the Senior!"

All the Cultivators in the city once again fell into a state of ecstasy and frenzy.

They greedily absorbed the dao rhyme and vitality within the light rain, each person gaining unimaginable benefits.

At this moment, no one dared to harbor even a hint of disrespect or speculation toward the being inside the Nine Heavens Pagoda.

There was only awe and fanaticism from the deepest part of their Souls... Nine Heavens Pagoda, ninth floor.

Shen Yuanmo remained completely unaware of the heaven and earth phenomenon outside that was enough to overturn the perceptions of an entire immortal city.

His mind was entirely immersed within his own Sea of Consciousness Universe.

In three month's time, seventy percent of the tens of millions of volumes of texts from the Li Family had been completely digested by him.

Most of these were basic Cultivation Techniques, miscellaneous talks, and secret anecdotes; although their rank wasn't high, they excelled in their vast quantity and all-encompassing nature.

They turned into solid nourishment, decomposed and absorbed by the chaos divine man.

Making his already unfathomable Dao Foundation become even more vigorous and broad.

At this moment, in the center of Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness Universe.

That chaos divine man was radiating light all over, with billions upon billions of Law runes being born and dying within its body.

The operation of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture had long since surpassed Shen Yuanmo's active control, entering a mysterious state of self-evolution.

A massive amount of knowledge was melted into a single furnace.

A brand new general outline of a Cultivation Technique, more perfect and more overbearing than before.

Was being constructed and deduced bit by bit in the hands of the chaos divine man.

At the same time, the chaos dao embryo within Shen Yuanmo's Dantian Sea of Qi also underwent an astonishing change.

Upon the chaos dao embryo's originally smooth surface, dense and incredibly mysterious golden divine patterns began to emerge.

These divine patterns seemed like the most primal Dao imprints from when heaven and earth first opened.

Every breath the dao embryo took made these divine patterns brighten by a notch.

The aura around him also grew heavier, as if every breath was opening up a miniature Chaos world within his body.

After seventy percent of the common texts were fully digested.

Shen Yuanmo's gaze finally turned toward the most brilliant and central region of that sea of knowledge stars.

There, hundreds of Jade Slips with the most powerful auras floated quietly.

These were the true core of the Li Family's Legacy, including the clan-guarding technique that had allowed the Li Family to stand tall for a million years and pointed directly to the Mahayana Realm: the Profound Yellow Indestructible Scripture.

Shen Yuanmo's thoughts landed upon that Cultivation Technique.

In an instant, this supreme Dao classic that Li Xuancang took pride in and that countless Li Family disciples went mad for.

Held no more secrets in Shen Yuanmo's eyes.

Its technique structure, Law pathways, and Dao concepts were peeled away layer by layer, laid bare before him.

After a few breaths, a flat evaluation echoed within Shen Yuanmo's Sea of Consciousness.

"Using the Earth Law as a Foundation, simulating the heaviness of heaven and earth, and then merging a trace of Indestructible True Intent."

"Attempting to transform the body into a small world, borrowing the false to cultivate the true, thereby achieving the immortality of the Physical Body and Divine Soul..."

"The idea is not bad, but unfortunately, the path is too narrow."

If Li Xuancang were to hear this evaluation, he would probably be so angry that his Soul would Fly Away and Spirit Scatter on the spot.

This was the crystallization of the Li Family's highest wisdom over a million years.

But in Shen Yuanmo's view, this method of relying on external forces to simulate heaven and earth was ultimately inferior.

My body is the Universe, and my Dao is the myriad Daos!

Why the need to simulate? Why the need to borrow?

He shook his head, having no further interest in studying it deeply.

"The final step."

With a thought from Shen Yuanmo.

The chaos divine man at the center of the Sea of Consciousness reached out with a giant hand that seemed capable of plucking the stars and the moon.

And grabbed boldly toward the final brilliant nebula of knowledge.

"Shatter for me!"

Boom!

An unreasoningly tyrannical will descended.

The galaxy representing the core Profound Truths of the Profound Yellow Indestructible Scripture didn't even have the right to struggle under this grip.

Instantly, it disintegrated!

All the complex structures, all the mysterious concepts, and all the Daos, under the overbearing devouring of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture.

Were forcibly struck back to their original forms, restored to the most basic and primitive Law fragments and Dao true intent.

Immediately afterward, the chaos divine man opened its mouth and inhaled.

Whoosh—

All the fragments, all the true intent, regardless of attribute or strength, turned into a torrent and were swallowed whole.

This process was no longer simple absorption and reference.

But a kind of arrogant tampering and optimization.

Using Shen Yuanmo's own Chaos Great Dao as the absolute core, the individuality of these foreign Laws was forcibly erased.

Retaining only their purest commonalities, they were then twisted and reshaped into the bricks and stones most suitable for Chaos evolution.

The Flame Law was no longer scorching but transformed into a ray of light in the evolution of Chaos.

The Space Law was no longer mysterious but became an inch of territory for Chaos expansion.

The Indestructible True Intent was no longer immortal but turned into a mark of birth and death within the Chaos cycle.

This was the overbearing nature of the Chaos Myriad Dao Returning Origin Scripture!

It is not that I adapt to the myriad Daos, but that the myriad Daos must adapt to me!
