149: The Way of the Mind and the Self, the Heavenly Venerable Who Transcends Tribulation!

At the age of 1,542,000, you successively merged with Karma and the Law of Fate.

The Karma of all things in the Profound Heaven Realm transformed into clearly visible threads in your eyes. You grasped your own fate, and from then on, no one could spy on your fate again.

Moreover, after merging with these two Laws, you naturally became the Heavenly Secret Venerable. If you are careful, you can even scheme against a Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable.

Afterwards, you did not rush to pursue merging more Laws, because you were preparing for the Breakthrough to Undergoing Tribulation, and the Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm does not overly prioritize the number of merged Laws.

The key to breaking through from the Dao Integration Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm lies in nurturing a power that transcends the Law level of the Profound Heaven Realm.

The essence of this power is the manifestation of the Cultivator's own Dao, and it is the perfect crystallization of cultivation philosophy and the power of Laws.

Therefore, the Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable of the Profound Heaven Realm named this power Dao Principles!

Condensing Dao Principles requires at least three Laws as a foundation. The quality and quantity of the Laws directly determine the power of the Dao Principles. The more powerful the Laws are and the more you incorporate, the more perfect and powerful the final Dao Principles will be.

Of course, you can continue to merge Laws after condensing the Dao Principles, but trying to merge more Laws after the Dao Principles are formed is like inserting a beam into a perfect building.

This requires the Cultivator to have extremely exquisite control, and without destroying the original structure of the Dao Principles, infiltrate the new power of Laws as if it were a spring breeze and rain.

It is like a highly skilled master architect who wants to add new eaves and brackets to a finished palace. They must maintain the harmony and beauty of the whole, while making the new parts blend seamlessly with the original structure.

This process often requires the Cultivator to ponder repeatedly. Every integration of Laws is like dancing on the edge of a knife; the slightest carelessness will lead to damage to the Dao Principles.

This situation can be said to be the tribulation that a Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable must experience to continue improving. This is also the Origin of the term "Undergoing Tribulation", but this can only be considered a minor tribulation. The true tribulation that a Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable must undergo is the Dao Tribulation formed after the Dao Principles grow to a certain level.

As far as you know, almost all Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable will try to merge as many Laws as possible when condensing Dao Principles.

For example, the Piaomiao Celestial Venerable of the Piaomiao Holy Land had their "Highest Good is Like Water" Dao Principles fuse seven Laws, including the Law of Water, Law of Balance, and Law of Purification, achieving their supreme power of "Water nourishes all things without contention".

However, having said that, it is not the case that the more Laws merged into the Dao Principles, the better. If there are too many, it will cause the Dao Principles to be difficult to form. This degree needs to be grasped by the Cultivator themselves.

And at this moment, the Laws you have merged, according to your calculations, are just enough to perfectly fuse into your own Dao Principles — The Dao Rule of Only Heart, Only Self!

If the Five Elements Law counts as five Laws, your Dao Principles have already incorporated twelve Laws, including powerful Laws such as Mind Law, Law of Fate, Law of Time, and Law of Creation. You feel that once the Dao Principles are condensed, their power can even rank among the forefront of all Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable.

Of course, this is mainly attributed to the fact that the time since the appearance of Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable is not long compared to the history of the Profound Heaven Realm, and most Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable's Dao Principles have not grown much.

Because you have had a lot of experience in merging Laws before, it took you less than a hundred years to successfully combine your own cultivation philosophy, using the Mind Law as the core to perfectly merge the Five Elements Law, Yin-Yang Law, Law of Creation, Law of Time, Space Law, Law of Fate, and Karma!

The Five Elements Law spiraled and intertwined like five swimming dragons, the Yin-Yang Qi transformed into a Taiji diagram and rotated slowly, the Law of Creation bloomed with brilliant light of life, the Law of Time and Space Law constructed a mysterious web of dimensions, and the Law of Fate and Karma wove into an invisible river of fate.

Under the guidance of your mind and spirit, these Laws were perfectly fusing towards an unprecedented direction, gradually turning into a prototype of Dao Principles that surpassed all Laws.

The moment this prototype of Dao Principles, radiating seven-colored clouds, was formed, the entire Profound Heaven Realm shook.

Above the sky of the Central Heaven World and even within the boundless Star Domain, myriad Laws manifested, turning into countless bright light bands weaving and spiraling in the Void Realm.

Auspicious clouds gathered into a sea, auspicious Qi condensed into a waterfall, and mysterious celestial music resounded between heaven and earth, as if the whole world was celebrating the birth of this supreme Dao Principles.

All the Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable in seclusion in the Profound Heaven Realm were awakened by this omen: "Another fellow Daoist is born!"

And the Celestial Venerables of the Human Race were also extremely excited when they saw this omen. They knew you were capable, but they didn't expect you to be this capable!

Just at this moment, a Heavenly Dao gift, larger than any of your previous Breakthroughs, descended.

A huge golden pillar of light that almost illuminated the entire Central Heaven World pierced through the Azure Profound Grotto-Heaven, completely enveloping you.

The pillar of light contained the purest Heavenly Dao Origin. Your Divine Soul, mana, and Physical Body began to improve continuously, and your Comprehension Ability also continued to rise under the nourishment of this power, reaching an unprecedented Realm.

Under the blessing of this Comprehension Ability, you quickly absorbed the insights brought by the Heavenly Dao gift, and your Dao Principles prototype became more perfect and powerful with every moment.

The omen caused by this Breakthrough lasted for a full thousand years. When you finally awoke from the deep state of enlightenment, an indescribable mysterious feeling surged into your heart. Your Dao Principles had finished condensing!

Afterwards, you felt your Divine Soul being supported by an invisible force, and your perception instantly broke through its original limits.

At this moment, your perception was able to cover the entire Profound Heaven Realm. Although this state only lasted for a fleeting moment, it had already allowed you to glimpse many mysteries of heaven and earth and see deeper things in the world!

In addition, when your Breakthrough ended, a pressure that changed the color of the world suddenly erupted from your location.

This pressure was so strong that it not only enveloped the entire Central Heaven World but also broke through the world's constraints, spreading towards the starry sky. All Cultivators who felt this pressure, regardless of their cultivation level, as long as they were below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, felt an instinctive awe in the depths of their Soul.

Even more magically, the moment you completed your Breakthrough, all living beings on the path of cultivation in the entire Profound Heaven Realm received a clear message in the dark: another Tribulation Transcendence Celestial Venerable had been born in the world!

This phenomenon of heaven and earth resonance is the hallmark of the birth of a Celestial Venerable. Your name will surely be recorded in the cultivation history of the Profound Heaven Realm and become a legend looked up to by future generations.

Standing at a new starting point on the path of cultivation, the perfect formation of The Dao Rule of Only Heart, Only Self not only means a leap in strength but also represents that your understanding of the Dao has reached a whole new height.

This Dao Principles, which fuses twelve Laws, will become the cornerstone for you to climb to higher Realms.
