168: Heart of Heaven and Earth

Whoosh!

A golden-threaded, silver-lined magical robe appeared in Xu Qing's hand. It was inscribed with mysterious runes, each rune like a Great Dao, containing the ultimate truth of Heaven and Earth.

With a thought, this Heaven and Earth Daoist Robe fell upon Xu Qing. He immediately felt a surge of energy pouring into him, and at the same time, he felt an unparalleled affinity with Heaven and Earth.

"Om!"

In just an instant, Xu Qing's entire aura suddenly changed.

This change was very peculiar; it was as if he had vanished in that moment, yet he clearly still stood there, visually present, but imperceptible.

Immediately after, a wave of Heavenly Dao suddenly emanated from Xu Qing, resonating with this Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Xu Qing had completely entered a mysterious state, his mind seemingly merged with Heaven and Earth.

If there were a powerful individual above the Saint Dao present, they would surely exclaim, for this state is known as the Unity of Heaven and Man.

The Unity of Heaven and Man, the Dao of Nature.

This state is a Realm coveted by countless beings, because comprehending Dao Law in this state will yield twice the results with half the effort. Moreover, with the Heaven and Earth Daoist Robe, Xu Qing can also manipulate the grand momentum of Heaven and Earth to attack enemies in this state.

At this moment, Xu Qing's mind was incomparably serene. He could feel the rhythm of Heaven and Earth, and the breathing of nature.

In the state of Unity of Heaven and Man, his aura seemed to merge with the entire Universe, and his body emitted endless light, like a dazzling star.

Om!

He soared into the sky, quickly reaching the Ancient Plum of this world, standing at the top of the tree canopy, looking down at the myriad living beings and up at the myriad stars.

At this time, everything below him seemed so small in his eyes, as tiny as ants. Although the mountains, rivers, and lakes were vast, he could see their end with a single glance.

And the myriad stars above his head were no longer so small; instead, they became incomparably huge.

He slowly raised his palm, as if manipulating the power of the entire Universe. His palm became incomparably huge, like a massive mountain peak.

Xu Qing's palm slowly swung out, and a huge palm print, carrying overwhelming power, blasted forth. This palm print seemed slow, yet it sliced through the dark starry sky at an incredible speed.

As Xu Qing's palm print advanced, meteors shattered wherever it passed, and that star was enveloped by his giant palm print.

"Rumble!"

That giant star instantly shattered under Xu Qing's palm print, turning into countless fragments and blooming into brilliant fireworks.

Hoo~

Xu Qing's face was a little pale, and half of the abundant Divine Power in his body had been consumed, but it was all worth it.

Because this strike was no less than a full-power strike from a Small Saint at Perfection.

As expected of a Quasi-Emperor-Grade item. Although it is only a seventh-grade item at present, it is already sufficient for Xu Qing to use.

(The previous text wrote 'Saint Weapon', which has been corrected! Weapons, Medicinal Pills, Heaven And Earth Treasures, etc., are divided into grades one to six at the Saint-Grade, and grades seven to nine are Quasi-Emperor-Grade.)

Subsequently, Xu Qing extracted the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart from the System space. This was a heart flowing with countless divine lights.

These divine lights were filled with an ineffable Dao rhyme, and their surging aura seemed capable of suppressing Heaven and Earth, like an emperor on tour, with myriad Laws retreating, and even the Origin of all Heavens daring not to approach in the slightest.

"Is this the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart?"

Xu Qing could feel the countless Daos contained within it. Besides the four Supreme Daos, it contained a considerable amount of Dao power.

Just as the introduction stated, Xu Qing had a feeling that as long as he fused with the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart, he would be able to control all the Dao power within it. (The previous text has been modified.)

He no longer hesitated, using his hand as a knife to cut towards his chest. Blood flowed out and, under Xu Qing's control, dripped onto the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart.

"Om!!!"

The moment Xu Qing's heart blood fell into the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart, One by one divine lights shot into the sky, forming myriad rays of light that illuminated the entire world.

Heaven and Earth seemed to sense something, sending down various auspicious signs.

Phoenixes, Qilins, White Tigers, Azure Dragons, and other Divine Beasts soared in the sky. Their figures flickered in and out of the light, appearing incredibly mysterious.

In addition, Xu Qing also saw the figures of countless Immortals and Buddhas. These figures of Immortals and Buddhas appeared incomparably sacred in the light, and their aura permeated the entire world, giving off Supreme pressure.

But if anyone were present, they would surely discover that these myriad Immortals and Buddhas were all bowing in worship to this Heaven and Earth Dao Heart.

At the same time.

In a distant place.

This was an ancient and vast region, truly boundless. The four directions of Heaven and Earth were limitless. This was a true place for Cultivation, where myriad sects were established and myriad races thrived, a truly Supreme Heaven and Earth.

"This is... the aura of Heaven?"

"Has he awakened!"

...At this moment, countless ancient existences awakened. Their Divine Thoughts traversed myriad Heavens and myriad worlds, passing through endless years and space-time, seeking to capture the aura that remained deep in their memories.

But ultimately, it was all in vain!

Above a certain ancient region, a Supreme figure stood silently. His gaze penetrated endless years and space-time, as if he was contemplating something.

"Heaven appears, the great era approaches, and all gods will eventually return..."

On the other side, Xu Qing's face gradually turned pale due to the loss of his heart blood.

Thump-thump-thump!

It was also at this time that the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart seemed to have come to Life, beginning to beat rhythmically. Each beat secretly coincided with the rhythm of Heaven and Earth.

The next moment, the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart transformed into a streak of light and drilled into Xu Qing's chest, perfectly fusing with his heart.

Whoosh!

The anomaly disappeared, and Xu Qing was enveloped by various Heaven and Earth Laws.

Boom!!!

Law of Sea: Perfection!

Law of Ice: Perfection!

Law of Stars: Perfection!

Law of Soul: Perfection!

Law of Sword Dao: Perfection!

...The moment the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart fused with Xu Qing, Xu Qing comprehended various Law powers at an incredible speed, as if he was born with them.

This process lasted for three full years.

When Xu Qing woke up again, his body was surrounded by Myriad Daos Laws, as if he was born a god of Laws, capable of controlling the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"This Heaven and Earth Dao Heart is truly Heaven-Defying. It's a pity that I've only fused one-tenth of it. If I were to perfectly fuse it, what kind of splendor would that be?"

Touching his chest, Xu Qing couldn't help but murmur.

This Heaven and Earth Dao Heart was too powerful. Even Xu Qing had only fused one-tenth of it, and merely this one-tenth Fusion allowed Xu Qing to control all the Laws in Heaven and Earth, except for the four Supreme Daos.

According to the feedback from the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart, if he could fuse two-tenths, he could control the Origin of lower-level Daos; three-tenths, the Origin of middle-level Daos; four-tenths, the Origin of upper-level Daos; and five-tenths, the Origin of the Ten Supreme Daos.

From six-tenths onwards, he could grasp the power of the Great Dao. By this calculation, Xu Qing had no Emperor Realm bottleneck at all. As long as he fused six-tenths, he could Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm.

And this Fusion is also very simple, which is to Breakthrough in strength. Xu Qing is limited by his Realm, which is why he cannot perfectly fuse. He only needs to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm to fuse two-tenths.

Next, what Xu Qing needed to do was to Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.

With the Heaven and Earth Dao Heart, refining the Supreme Origin power became much simpler.

Furthermore, his Eight Nine Arcane Art had already been Cultivated to the initial stage of the fourth turn, comparable to a Saint's Physical Body. He had already achieved Physical Body Sainthood, and the Saint's Physical Body Cultivated through the Eight Nine Arcane Art was enough to crush the Saint's Physical Body of an ordinary Small Saint.

Originally, this was already sufficient for the Breakthrough, but now with the Profound Yellow Ancient Qi, he could go even further.

The only thing that hadn't progressed was the tempering of the Primordial Spirit. Fortunately, the System had already been upgraded, and it contained many Saint-Grade Medicinal Pills for tempering the Primordial Spirit.
