135: The True Self of All Paths, becoming a candidate for Holy Son

Watching the Soul Transformation Stairs manifest, you did not hesitate at all, stepping out directly onto the steps radiating brilliant divine light.

The moment you ascended the stairs, the purest power of heaven and earth Origin surged like a tide, each wisp containing the true essence of heaven and earth.

Your skin gradually became crystal clear in the divine light, and a series of thunderous sounds echoed from your bones, as if you were undergoing a transformation that shed your mortal coil.

The Soul Transformation Stairs consisted of a thousand steps. You began to advance level by level. With each step you climbed, you could feel your cultivation advancing under the baptism of the heaven and earth Origin; your comprehension of the Laws was like seeing the sun through the clouds, and your divine body was being forged and strengthened as you climbed.

When you climbed to the three-hundredth step, your body was surrounded by colorful rays of light. Aside from the Five Elements Law and the Mind Law, your comprehension of other Laws had reached over forty percent. These Law powers intertwined with each other, forming a hazy halo behind your back.

When you climbed to the seven-hundredth step, the entire world resonated with you. Your comprehension of all Laws broke through the fifty percent mark, and your Five Elements Law and Mind Law reached an astonishing sixty percent.

When your final step landed on the thousandth step, your divine body was finally fully formed. Dao patterns flowed over your jade-like skin, and every strand of hair contained power that could destroy heaven and earth.

Every gesture and movement could trigger heaven and earth phenomena. Even more startlingly, you felt a sublimation of your life essence. Your Lifespan was no longer measurable by numbers, as if you were as eternal as the sun and moon, living as long as heaven and earth.

The essence, qi, and spirit, which had already been enhanced after the fusion of your new and old selves, received a massive boost once again.

Your Divine Soul evolved into a boundless starry sky, and your Divine Thought continuously extended outward. Without the suppression of the Central Heaven World, it covered thousands of light-years of space in an instant.

Your comprehension of the Five Elements Law and the Mind Law also approached seventy percent.

In addition, after reaching the top of the Soul Transformation Stairs, you also obtained the Heaven and Earth Authority that every Nascent Soul receives after passing the Soul Transformation Tribulation! The Heaven and Earth Authority, like the divine body, is a symbol of a Spirit Transformation Divine Monarch.

The Heaven and Earth Authority was like a supreme mark bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, condensing into a brilliant golden Dao pattern at the center of your forehead, creating a mysterious resonance with the Laws of heaven and earth.

The greatest function of the Heaven and Earth Authority is to allow a Spirit Transformation Divine Monarch to mobilize more power of heaven and earth Laws.

Roughly speaking, even if two people have the same comprehension of Laws and use the same amount of power, the one with the Heaven and Earth Authority can mobilize more than ten times the amount of heaven and earth Law power compared to the one without it.

As the Heaven and Earth Authority was added to your body, the Soul Transformation Stairs slowly dissipated. This empty starry sky returned to peace once again, and you officially became a Spirit Transformation Divine Monarch!

Breaking through to Soul Transformation increased your strength by countless times. At this moment, you felt that a single breath could instantly kill a vast number of Nascent Souls.

You finally understood why Soul Transformation Cultivators are called "Divine Lords"—in this world, you are already akin to a deity, possessing boundless great power and a near-eternal life.

You took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within you, and sensed the divine body you spent thousands of years creating—the "Myriad Dao True Self Dharma Body"!

This divine body is the crystallization of your wisdom, perfectly compatible with your self-created Cultivation Technique, the "Heart Governing Myriad Dao Only Me True Scripture".

Like the Cultivation Technique, it is also like a bottomless pit, capable of accommodating the myriad Law powers of heaven and earth. You closed your eyes and felt the river of Laws flowing within you, each one containing power that could destroy heaven and earth.

The "Myriad Dao True Self Dharma Body" possesses three major abilities: Myriad Law Furnace, Ultimate Dao Heart Aspect, and True Self Heavenly Mandate!

First is the "Myriad Law Furnace." When this ability is activated, countless profound runes emerge on the surface of your divine body, forming a massive phantom of a furnace.

This furnace can not only refine myriad Laws to enhance your cultivation but, more terrifyingly, it can decompose an enemy's Law attacks.

As long as it does not exceed the limit of what the Myriad Law Furnace can carry, any enemy attack will be decomposed and absorbed the moment it touches your body, becoming your nourishment. This ability allows you to remain invincible in battles of attrition.

Next is the "Ultimate Dao Heart Aspect." This ability allows you to concentrate all your power into a single Law and, combined with your unique Heart Power, push that Law to its absolute limit.

With a thought, the Five Elements Law flowed within your body. In an instant, a majestic Five Elements Heavenly Emperor Avatar appeared behind you. This avatar sat upon a Five Elements Throne and held a five-colored divine sword, with every gesture carrying the power to suppress heaven and earth.

Then you tried the Yin-Yang Law, and an ethereal Yin-Yang Dao Ancestor Avatar emerged. A Taiji diagram slowly rotated behind the avatar, demonstrating the principles of the birth and destruction of Yin and Yang.

Most importantly, you can fuse all Laws into one and summon the "Myriad Dao Only Me Avatar" that governs all paths. Once this avatar appears, the myriad Laws must all bow in submission.

Finally, there is the "True Self Heavenly Mandate," which is an upgraded version of your previous ability to control heaven and earth with Heart Power.

When you use this ability, an invisible wave spreads from your body. Everywhere it passes, the heaven and earth Laws will be stained with your will and covered by your Laws. You call this "Dao Stain."

Within the Domain of your Dao Stain, even a Spirit Transformation Divine Monarch cannot mobilize the power of heaven and earth and can only rely on their own cultivation to fight you. It can be said that True Self Heavenly Mandate is a divine home-field skill.

After experiencing the power after your Breakthrough, you were in no hurry to return to the Holy Land. Instead, you stayed in this starry sky for three years, digesting the remaining heaven and earth Origin power in your body.

Once the digestion was complete, all your Laws improved slightly.

After returning to the Holy Land and undergoing a round of rigorous testing, as expected, you were officially conferred the title of Reserve Saint Son of the Qingxuan Sacred Land. You put on the Mysterious Jade Divine Pendant that symbolized your status as a Reserve Saint Son.

In addition, a wisp of your Divine Soul was recorded into the "Destiny Track Immortal Record".

From now on, as long as multiple Tribulation Undergoing Heavenly Monarchs do not personally attack you, you will not truly die and can continuously be resurrected using this wisp of Divine Soul.

Of course, besides the first time being free, every subsequent resurrection would cost a massive amount of Contribution Points.

With your status as a Reserve Saint Son of the Qingxuan Sacred Land and this resurrection ability, it could be said that you could travel almost anywhere in the Human Race territory—except, of course, for those extremely dangerous Forbidden Grounds that even great experts shy away from.

After the news of your promotion to Reserve Saint Son spread, the Qingxuan Sacred Land immediately bestowed generous rewards. Both the Azure Nether Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect, being your Sects of Origin, received unimaginable cultivation resources.

Just the Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines given to the Azure Cloud Sect were enough to produce several Golden Core True Lords and allow Ancestor Qingyun to enter the Nascent Soul Realm directly.

However, surprisingly, the Sect Master of the Azure Nether Sect, who had been in closed-door cultivation for many years, also made an exception and came out of seclusion.
