233: Chapter 233 Heartbeat of the Cave Heaven

Ling Hao quickly scanned the contents of the Great Law of Primordial Communion, then looked back at Su Shang with a gaze that held a hint of strangeness... and heat?

"This... it can actually be done this way?!"

Su Shang's eyes remained as calm as a still well:

"Shall we begin?"

Ling Hao tilted his head, thinking for only a moment before a flash of determination crossed his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's do it! Why not!"

So what if it's the Luck of heaven and earth? A Mortal is nothing more than a husk made of protein. As long as what is gained is true and the power is real, what is there to fear?

With a wide wave of his hand, his grand will instantly spread throughout the entire Moonshadow Grotto-Heaven.

"The Grotto-Heaven is about to undergo an Origin-level modification. All Disciples must exit the Grotto-Heaven immediately, without delay!"

It was foreseeable that these Disciples would certainly be unable to withstand the upcoming commotion. In an instant, the Disciples who were Cultivating in various parts of the Grotto-Heaven were wrapped in gentle power and immediately teleported out.

Outside the Grotto-Heaven, above the Moonshadow Sect.

The vast sea of Luck clouds churned violently. That majestically coiled Luck Golden Dragon suddenly let out a mournful cry, the brilliant golden light on its massive body instantly dimming and even faintly showing purple, as if it were about to fall from the Luck Golden Dragon status to that of an Azure Dragon! The entire sea of clouds shook unsteadily because of this.

In an instant, the dense purple light representing the Wind Spirit Sect was the first to surge into the sea of clouds, followed by the white and azure Luck light of countless subordinate Sects, flowing in like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

Gaining the support of this external Luck, the teetering Luck Golden Dragon finally stabilized its form. The purple on its body was quickly suppressed, and it returned to a radiant gold, though its light seemed much weaker than before.

On the ground, countless Disciples felt their hearts tighten. The previously smooth flow of Spiritual Qi inexplicably lagged for a moment before returning to normal. They simply assumed the effect of the Spiritual Vein's promotion had ended.

Core area of Moonshadow Grotto-Heaven.

Vast and majestic golden Luck was channeled from the depths of the invisible Void Realm, converging upon Su Shang like a surging golden celestial river.

The illusory, misty-purple Moonlit Frost-Flow Skirt disintegrated inch by inch. Amidst the flowing golden light, a body that could leave the gods and demons of the heavens speechless transformed from phantom to reality, gaining the warmth and texture of flesh and blood.

An extremely thin, nearly transparent misty-purple gauze dress covered the newborn body. The supple waist, the full curves, and the slender lines of her legs were as eye-scorching as a heart-scorching flame beneath the hazy shadows of the gauze.

Tiny golden specks of light danced and flowed over her pale, jade-like skin. Hazy and indistinct, they added a layer of mysterious allure, as if a newborn goddess had descended upon the Mortal world.

Ling Hao looked up. The scene before him was magnificent yet carried a hint of absurd temptation, causing him to whisper subconsciously:

"Damn it... it even glows... Is this how the golden light of Luck is supposed to be used?"

Before his voice had even faded, Su Shang had already taken shape within the golden light. Her bare feet lightly tapped the Void Realm, her body like a purple butterfly breaking through a curtain of light as she pounced on Ling Hao.

Ling Hao felt a fragrant breeze hit his face. It wasn't the cloying, sweet scent of mundane cosmetics, but a freshness like the first scent of rain-soaked earth after the early spring snow melts, mixed with the cool crispness of morning dew rolling over new leaves, yet carrying a warm, sweet fragrance originating from the very Origin of life.

With his mind wavering, Ling Hao subconsciously closed his eyes. Su Shang's cold voice rang in his ears:

"Let's begin."

No shyness, no hesitation. Simple and direct, like the rotation of the Great Dao, natural and spontaneous.

Efficiency is the core logic of the program.

...

"Spirit and flesh as fuel, fire of passion forges the world; square-inch communion, the first cry of the universe..."

Ancient proverbs seemed to echo in the depths of his Soul.

The moment Ling Hao closed his eyes, his Divine Thought seemed to be infinitely elevated, piercing through the barriers of time and space, tracing back to the chaotic scenes at the birth of the Grotto-Heaven.

Boundless currents of Chaos surged and churned, turbid and murky, with no light or dark, no up or down.

After an unknown number of eons, an invisible Grandmist power quietly intervened. The clear rose slowly while the turbid sank gradually, and the boundaries between the hazy sky and the heavy earth first began to divide.

The desolate earth stretched on endlessly, the sky was dark and low, a scene of dead silence where only Chaos currents eternally churned at the edges. This newborn world was ancient and lonely until a spark of light forcibly tore through the Chaos...

Ling Hao had arrived!

Using himself as the guide, he worked with his Personal Disciples and other Sect Elders and Disciples to open Spirit Domains, gather Law fragments, move mountains to create lakes, and plant spiritual vegetation. Only then did they carve out ten miles of vibrant life amidst this desolation, along with those four thousand plus Spirit Domain light orbs shimmering with different Law radiances...

Scene after scene depicted the ancient and desolate birth history of this Grotto-Heaven, right up until this very moment!

Ling Hao opened his eyes, which flashed with brilliance as his physical instincts broke through all shackles. Under Su Shang's guidance, the two began to Cultivate the Great Law of Primordial Communion.

Ling Hao tightly embraced Su Shang's boneless waist. Where their skin met, invisible chains of Law emerged, frantically constructing, colliding, and undergoing Fusion between them.

Rippp!

At the edge of the Grotto-Heaven, the Chaos Qi Wall churned violently! A massive vertical rift spanning billions of miles of the Void Realm was suddenly torn open.

In the core area of the Grotto-Heaven, everything except the mountain peak beneath the two of them—the ten miles of carefully crafted pavilions, green peaks, and jade lakes—collapsed with a roar.

Spiritual wood was pulverized, jade stones turned to dust, and pure Spiritual Qi and Law fragments were all drawn out like a reversed galaxy.

Over four thousand Law Spirit Domain light orbs of various forms—whether fireballs of blazing flame, rippling pools of water, towering shadows of wood, ice-blue abysses of cold, or soaring Sword Intent—all erupted with blinding radiance, transforming into a torrent of the most primal Origin energy and plunging into the churning Chaos at the edge of the boundless desolation.

The multicolored Law fragments within the energy torrent wove into a net, forcibly propping open this rift.

Clear Qi and turbid Qi fused into one, transforming into a roaring purple-red Dragon that charged into the massive rift! The dark gray vault of heaven seemed to boil, beginning to twist, deform, and stretch violently.

A massive amount of energy erupted from the rift; this energy from the depths of Chaos was one of the necessities for the Grotto-Heaven's modification.

Sweat beaded on their foreheads as their hands guided this energy.

At the edge of the Grotto-Heaven, in that place of nothingness, the Chaos Qi Wall receded. The revealed desolate earth rose violently under the invisible grand power.

New mountain ranges rose from the ground, their momentum fierce and majestic, their edges sharp and distinct, their peaks piercing the gradient sky. Every surge of a rising mountain peak was accompanied by the explosion of a rift at the distant edge of Chaos.

Simultaneously, between the rising mountain ranges, deep canyons were savagely split open by invisible forces! The earth's crust sank with a groan, forming massive depressions.

Su Shang's slender fingers sank deep into Ling Hao's broad back muscles. Because the energy was too powerful, this guidance was not easy to perform.

Both had their eyes closed in concentration, sweat constantly dripping onto the courtyard.

Crash—!

Deep within the newborn firmament, leaden clouds gathered and rubbed together frantically as lightning snakes slithered through the cloud layers.

Having brewed to the extreme, a torrential downpour crashed down. This rainwater was Spiritual Liquid wrapped in pure vitality!

The rain fell upon the rising, majestic mountain ranges, washing out ravines and streams; it flowed into the bottoms of the newly split deep canyons, quickly accumulating into the embryonic forms of surging rivers; finally, it poured into the massive depressions formed by the sinking earth, transforming into a turbulent primordial ocean!

Wild winds and torrential rain swept across the newborn world. The earth trembled amidst the roar, and tectonic plates drifted and collided like broken ice floes under the pull of invisible grand power.

A massive landmass was uplifted, its edges crumbling and sinking, finally forming the embryonic shapes of several giant continents facing each other across the sea!

Deep in the ocean, those sunken Law fragments and the life-sweat of the two that had seeped into the rain collided and fused violently in the scalding hydrothermal vents of the seabed.

Hum—!

Under their operation, the rift in the Chaos Qi Wall erupted with its final energy.

At the east and west poles of the Grotto-Heaven, a scorching and blindingly resplendent Great Sun leaped out from the eastern Chaos, its endless light and heat instantly dispelling the gray gloom.

A bright and cold clear moon rose slowly from the western abyss, its silver glow spreading over the newborn ocean.

Around the trajectories of the sun and moon's rotation, billions of stars ignited by Luck and Law lit up one after another, a brilliant starry river hanging above the newborn firmament.

Roar—!

Eight towering divine mountains, like heaven-propping pillars, suddenly rose from the boundaries of the Grotto-Heaven, piercing straight into the sky. They propped up the Eight Extremes Firmament, held up the entire Grotto-Heaven, and suppressed the chaotic turbulence within it.

The final intensity was like the explosion of a primordial star! The flood of life from the other side of Chaos, accompanied by the most primal cries from the depths of their Souls, crashed into this newborn world, making this Grotto-Heaven world even more stable.

And deep within that turbulent primordial ocean, beside the hydrothermal vents, in the whirlpool of ocean currents where the essence of the sun and moon met the power of the stars, a faint and resilient spiritual spark representing "Life" was quietly lit at the intersection of floating Law fragments and the Origin of life!

This was the birth of life!

The Grotto-Heaven now has a heartbeat.
