171: Imperial Scriptures and Secret Techniques, Heavenly Realms

[After spending three months, you have finally completely converted the spiritual energy in your body into more powerful Taichu Spiritual Qi and forged the Taichu Spiritual Physique.]

[This Physique is crystal clear like jade throughout, with pale gold spiritual energy flowing through the Meridians, and every movement carries the profound aura of the beginning of the Great Dao.]

[While completing the Foundation conversion, your cultivation also rose accordingly, even breaking through a layer of Bottleneck to reach the sixth heaven of the Law Manifestation Realm.]

[In the following days, you studied the Taichu Emperor Scripture by day; this all-encompassing scripture gave you a brand-new understanding of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang.]

[By night, you immersed yourself in the Grand Void Mirror, contemplating the Taixu Scripture left behind by Void Emperor.]

[Unlike the comprehensive Taichu Emperor Scripture, the Taixu Scripture focuses on the Dao of Space, with every character containing Void Emperor's analysis of the Dao of Space.]

[As your comprehension of the Taixu Scripture deepened, the space around you would subtly distort with each cultivation session, a sign of initial mastery over the power of space.]

[At eighteen, you opened your eyes in the secluded stone chamber, and two beams of materialized golden light shot out from your pupils, leaving long-lasting light trails in the void.]

[At this moment, your cultivation has reached the eighth heaven of the Law Manifestation Realm, and your Law Manifestation has condensed to the point of appearing solid. You began to try combining the power of Taichu with the Dao of Space, creating a combat style unique to yourself.]

[In addition to the increase in Realm, you have also successfully initiated several supreme arts recorded in the Taichu Emperor Scripture and the Taixu Scripture during this period.]

[These supreme arts are the Nirvanic Palm, Taichu Sword Qi, Taichu Divine Protection, Great Void Step, and Heaven-Stealing Hand.]

[These legacies inherited from the Emperor each contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. You can only use them initially now; to Cultivate them to a deeper level, you must at least raise your cultivation to the King Sealing Realm or even become a Saint.]

[The Nirvanic Palm can instantly drain the surrounding spiritual energy and even life force, forming an absolute Domain of death.]

[Wherever the palm wind passes, all things wither, and even light is distorted. While practicing this palm, you personally witnessed a lush mountain forest turn into a silent desert in an instant after being brushed by your palm wind; that destructive power is heart-palpitating.]

[The Taichu Sword Qi can invoke the most primitive Taichu power in heaven and earth; once the sword is out, all laws retreat.]

[When the Sword Qi condenses, a vision of the beginning of Chaos emerges around you, and where the sword points, even space shows subtle cracks. You once practiced this sword under the moon; where the sword light reached, the sea of clouds was split in two, as if the world was being created anew.]

[Taichu Divine Protection is a defensive supreme art that forms a layer of Taichu Divine Light on the body's surface, which can not only resist external attacks but also reflect part of the damage.]

[When cultivated to a deep level, it can even grant brief immunity to all magical attacks, making one practically invincible.]

[What makes you most proud is the Great Void Step. This movement technique allows you to travel freely between reality and the void. When used, your figure flickers like a phantom, and one step can cover a hundred miles; it can even allow you to escape into the void to dodge fatal attacks in critical moments.]

[The Heaven-Stealing Hand is extraordinary; with a light movement of five fingers, it can seize treasures from thousands of miles away, and even spatial barriers can hardly block it.]

[You feel that by skillfully using the Great Void Step and the Heaven-Stealing Hand, you could change professions to become a peerless thief or a peerless assassin at any time.]

[These supreme arts are far more powerful and sophisticated than the Moves you practiced before. Although you have only initially mastered them, they can still greatly increase your combat power.]

[At nineteen, your cultivation reached the Perfection of the Law Manifestation Realm. After three years of cultivation, your natal Law Manifestation, the 'Taichu Formless Manifestation,' has grown to thirty thousand zhang in size, as towering as a mountain and as vast as a galaxy.]

[Whenever the Law Manifestation manifests, it is surrounded by Primordial Beginning Qi, and the sun, moon, and stars can be vaguely seen floating within it.]

[At this moment, you have touched the threshold of the Void Tempering Realm. With just an opportunity, you can invoke the power of heaven and earth to temper your body and reach the Void Tempering Realm, where you can tear through space with raw strength.]

[Just as you were preparing to go into seclusion for a Breakthrough, the Taichu Holy Master personally summoned you.]

[The Holy Master told you that in the Divine Origin Domain among the southern Domains of the Jiling Region, there has been a disturbance in heaven and earth recently, and a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is about to appear.]

[A Heaven and Earth Secret Realm is a special Small World existing outside the three thousand Great Worlds, and the flow of time within it is completely different from the outside world.]

[In some Secret Realms, a hundred days pass while only one day passes outside; in others, it is the exact opposite. More miraculously, these Secret Realms often nurture Heaven And Earth Treasures that are hard to find outside.]

[Some powerful experts like to take ownerless Secret Realms as their own and transform them into their own Immortal Caves. While they are alive, the Secret Realms remain hidden; after they die, the Secret Realms will manifest in the world again.]

[Therefore, some Secret Realms may also contain the Legacies left behind by the Secret Realm's owner during their lifetime, and the minimum requirement to transform a Secret Realm is the King Sealing Realm.]

[The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm appearing in the Divine Origin Domain this time is a nascent Secret Realm. According to calculations, it contains abundant resources.]

[The Taichu Holy Master told you that this Secret Manual—or rather, this Realm—might contain the Materials needed to condense the Taichu Divine Physique.]

[Unlike condensing the Taichu Spiritual Physique, upgrading your Physique to the level of a King Physique or Divine Physique requires many special Heaven And Earth Treasures, some of which even the Holy Land does not possess.]

[To upgrade the Taichu King Physique to the Divine Physique level, one must collect nine kinds of heavenly wonders.]

[Although the Holy Land has a deep Foundation, it only has the Materials to promote to a King Physique; it only has five of the Materials for the Divine Physique. The Primordial Divine Crystal that might appear in this Secret Realm is one of the most critical ones.]

[Heaven and Earth Secret Realms have Realm restrictions, and this Secret Realm in the Divine Origin Domain only allows people below the Void Tempering Realm to enter.]

[Your current cultivation is exactly at the threshold.]

[Of course you must enter this Secret Realm. Although you know that in the Xuanhuan world, accidents easily happen during events like exploring Secret Realms, you hold an extremely strong trump card in your hand—the Grand Void Mirror!]

[Although with your current cultivation, you can only activate less than one-ten-thousandth of its power, an Emperor Weapon is an Emperor Weapon after all.]

[Even this tiny bit of power is enough to shock and kill anyone below the King Sealing Realm. More importantly, the Grand Void Mirror is best at traversing the void; even when faced with a Saint's pursuit, one can escape calmly.]

[Furthermore, as the Saint of the Taichu Holy Land, you naturally have a Dao Protector. Perhaps your Luck has come into play, as your Dao Protector is an existence at the Peak of the King Sealing Realm.]

[This Dao Protector is named Liu Yuanshou. He was also a Prodigy in his youth and originally had the potential to become a Saint. Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, his Foundation was damaged, and his Realm has remained at the King Sealing Realm.]

[With such a Realm, in this era where Saints do not appear in the world, Liu Yuanshou is definitely a first-tier powerhouse.]

[With such a configuration, you don't believe any accident could take your life.]
