209: Cangxuan Realm - Advancement!

It turned out that after the entire Wending Sect ascended, the former site of the Wending Sect in Qingzhou, Eastern Domain, had become a vacant land.

A group of former affiliated forces, led by the Ancient Moon Tower, reconstructed the mountain gate according to their memories out of gratitude for the Wending Sect's kindness. They still called it the "Wending Sect" externally, and it was governed by Baili Wendao, the Tower Master of the Ancient Moon Tower.

Although they hadn't received Lin Chen's permission, in their hearts, they already regarded themselves as part of the Wending Sect.

At this moment, Lin Chen had already arrived at the peak of the sky in the Cangxuan Realm.

He spread his palm, and a ball of light, gentle yet containing supreme Laws and seemingly condensing the entire world's Origin, slowly rotated and floated within it.

This was exactly the heavenly dao origin of the Cangxuan Realm.

"Cangxuan Realm..."

Lin Chen's gaze was profound, as if he could see through the past and future of this world.

"This is where my Wending Sect rose, the place where the dream began."

"Now, my Wending Sect's prestige shakes Lingxuan, yet you are still trapped in the Lower Realm with incomplete Laws and thin Spiritual Qi, limiting the potential of countless beings."

He felt the pulsation of the heavenly dao origin in his palm, like touching the heartbeat of this world.

"An ordinary person obtaining this Origin might be able to mete out punishment on behalf of heaven and become a Dominator of a realm. But..."

A look of disdain flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. "Dominator? That is not my wish. This Sect Master wants to reshape! To recreate! To let you... undergo a complete transformation!"

"Theoretically, as long as one controls the heavenly dao origin, one can modify any Heavenly Dao rules!"

"With my strength at the Ninth Layer of Half-step Golden Immortal, I should be able to upgrade the heavenly dao origin of a Small World!"

He no longer hesitated, his mind completely sinking into the heavenly dao origin.

In an instant, he felt as if he had merged into one with the entire Cangxuan Realm!

The flow of mountains and rivers, the circulation of the Spiritual Vein's Spiritual Qi, the rhythm of the four seasons' Reincarnation, the trajectory of the birth and death of all things... all Laws were within his perception!

"The earth veins here are blocked, making it hard for Spiritual Qi to pass... Change!"

With a thought from Lin Chen, a dull roar came from deep beneath a massive mountain range in the Cangxuan Realm. The Earth Fiend Qi that had accumulated for eons was forcibly redirected, transforming into pure Spiritual Veins and gushing out!

"The spatial barrier here is weak, easily attracting external demons... Strengthen!"

Deep within the endless Void Realm, the boundary wall of the Cangxuan Realm emitted a hazy glow, becoming tougher and thicker, with mysterious runes faintly flowing over it.

"The cultivation limit stops at the Great Emperor?"

"Too narrow-minded!"

"Open!"

A majestic torrent of Laws, far exceeding the limits of this realm, poured out from the heavenly dao origin and was forcibly injected into the rules of the Cangxuan Realm!

The Bottleneck barrier that had imprisoned countless geniuses for ages began to vibrate violently, and cracks appeared!

"The rotation of the Five Elements and the balance of Yin and Yang still have flaws... Supplement!"

The Five Elements Origins of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were activated, and their cycle of mutual generation and restriction became more harmonious and smooth.

The intersection of Yin and Yang Qi gave rise to even more mysterious changes.

The entire world's Foundation became more stable and full of vitality.

"The life Origin can also be nourished... Increase!"

Green spots of light containing life force sprinkled onto every corner of the Cangxuan Realm like spring rain. Vegetation became lusher, the chance for wild beasts to gain intelligence quietly rose, and even among Mortals, the proportion of those with cultivation Aptitude slightly increased.

Lin Chen's will, like that of a master craftsman, used the heavenly dao origin as a hammer and chisel and his supreme magic power as a carving knife to carry out a bold yet meticulous transformation of the Cangxuan Realm!

This was a process that extremely exhausted one's mind and great power.

If his cultivation hadn't reached the Ninth Layer of Half-step Golden Immortal and his Divine Soul wasn't incredibly powerful, it would have been impossible to complete.

"Here... just a little bit more!"

"The rules there need to better fit the operation of a high-level world!"

"Go!"

After an unknown amount of time, when the final flaw was mended and the last newly born chain of Laws—sufficient to support the existence of a Heavenly Immortal—was completely stabilized—

[Ding!]

A crisp System notification sounded in Lin Chen's mind like heavenly music.

[Detected that the Cangxuan Realm's Heavenly Dao rules have been fully optimized...]

[The Cangxuan Realm's heavenly dao origin has met the conditions for evolution...]

[World Status Upgrade: Promoted from a Mid-tier Great World to a High-tier Great World!]

[World Carrying Capacity Upper Limit Increase: Can now accommodate and give birth to Heavenly Immortal Realm Cultivators at the highest level!]

[World Spiritual Qi concentration, resource quality, Law completeness, and creature potential... fully upgraded!]

Almost simultaneously, another notification sounded—

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host has used supreme power to give back to his homeland, staying true to his original intention. Hidden main storyline task triggered: Cangxuan's Path of Evolution!]

[Task Requirement: Gradually nurture and upgrade the Cangxuan Realm, ultimately building it into the unique and supreme number one Great World among the Myriad Worlds!]

[Task Reward: Depending on the completion degree and the world's final Rank, a mysterious Heaven-Defying reward will be issued!]

"Oh?"

A sharp light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth. "A hidden task? Building the Cangxuan Realm into the number one world in the heavens? Interesting! This Sect Master accepts this challenge!"

He looked down at the world undergoing earth-shaking changes beneath his feet, and a surge of pride arose: "This realm flourishes because of my Wending Sect! Then let it rise together with my Wending Sect and reach the absolute peak!"

"Cangxuan Realm—Evolution!"

Lin Chen slammed the final burst of pure Origin power into the core of the Heavenly Dao!

Rumble—!!

The entire Cangxuan Realm shook violently!

It wasn't an earthquake, but a vibration of the entire world's framework!

The sky became higher and more profound, and the light of the sun, moon, and stars seemed several times brighter and purer!

The land expanded, mountains rose higher, and the rivers, lakes, and seas became more vast!

The Spiritual Qi concentration in the air soared at a terrifying speed, even starting to condense into spiritual mist and spiritual rain!

Many Cultivators who had been stuck at a Bottleneck for countless years broke through one after another at this moment!

Countless Spirit Medicines and Immortal Plants grew wildly, their quality leaping forward!

Ancient ruins were revitalized, and hidden Secret Realms appeared one after another!

Between heaven and earth, the sound of the Dao roared, thousands of rays of rosy light glowed, and auspicious colors filled the sky!

A brand-new, broader, and more possibility-filled aura permeated every corner of the world!

"What's happening?!"

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi... is skyrocketing!"

"My Bottleneck... has loosened! I've broken through!"

"Look! That hundred-year-old Cinnabar Fruit instantly became a thousand-year-old treasure medicine!"

"The Heavenly Dao rules... have changed! I feel the path of cultivation has become clearer than ever before!"

"It's a world promotion! Our world is being promoted!"

The billions of beings in the Cangxuan Realm, whether Cultivators or Mortals, no matter where they were, clearly felt this earth-shaking change!

Shock, ecstasy, bewilderment, awe... various emotions intertwined.

Just then, a calm yet supremely majestic voice, seemingly originating from the world itself, echoed clearly in the depths of every being's Soul.

"This Sect Master is the Lord of Wending, Lin Chen!"

"I hereby announce—"

"From this day forward, the Cangxuan Realm has evolved into a High-tier Great World!"

"The cultivation limit for the Cultivators of this realm is now open! You can now reach as high as the Heavenly Immortal Realm! You are no longer bound by the old heavenly regulations!"

"I hope you all Cultivate diligently and do not waste this unprecedented Opportunity!"
