Chapter 1126 The Spiritual Mansion is Initially Complete
The opening of a sliver of light in the sky is like a ray of dawn at the end of a long night for all living beings in the bustling world.

So now the whole world is in an uproar.

Countless beings were excited and made breakthroughs in their cultivation, with even those who hadn't reached their bottlenecks advancing by leaps and bounds. Since everyone was still in a spiritual state, unburdened by physical bodies, once their Dao hearts were clear, their cultivation progress was much faster than in the outside world.

The sky opened up, and even the immortal plants were unsettled. Although they could no longer advance in rank, this was a rare opportunity to directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

After the formation of the prosperous world, Wei Yuan's mental world was closed off. Only the mental world could absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, transform it into its own spiritual energy, and then provide it to the immortal plants for absorption.

Only celestial plants of high rank, such as the sapling of the Jianmu tree and the laurel tree, can directly absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth through the barrier between them.

At this moment, Wei Yuan had a deeper and more thorough understanding of how the mental world operated. The primordial energy of heaven and earth was far too violent for most living beings, and contained countless foreign substances, making it essentially poisonous. Only a very few of the most powerful beings could directly absorb and exhale the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

After absorbing primordial energy, the mental world transforms it into spiritual energy. This spiritual energy can then be absorbed by many living beings, gradually improving their essence.

In any given world, only the most powerful beings need to directly absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth in order to break free from the shackles of nature and advance to a higher realm. Immortals, on the other hand, must transcend their own realm and enter the celestial heavens to absorb the chaotic energy.

After understanding some of the essential aspects of how the mental world operates, Wei Yuan sometimes felt that the mental world was also a special type of life. It constantly transformed harmful vital energy into spiritual energy, nurturing a greater number and variety of beings within its own body, but also making them significantly more fragile.

In the twelve hours leading up to the opening of the sky, countless sword energies converged on the Heavenly Demon, slowly sealing it. All living beings felt a sense of ease, and their cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds.

As the crowds were in an uproar, Wei Yuan unexpectedly discovered that the prosperity of all realms had increased, and his own cultivation level was also rising.

Several years had passed since the initial flourishing of the various realms, and Wei Yuan had never officially set foot in Yu Jing before. This was the first time he had completely suppressed and sealed the Heavenly Demon and completely released the restrictions.

The main reason was that Wei Yuan had been worried that once he fully advanced to the Imperial Realm, he might not be able to return to the perfect state of Dharma Aspect, and the power of his counterattack would be greatly reduced.

Wei Yuan is now relying on the power of the Reverse Strike to intimidate Cangwu. Originally, the power of billions of people's fortune was enough to severely injure Cangwu, but with the addition of the Reverse Strike, the power would be so great that even if it didn't hit completely, it could still kill Cangwu on the spot.

In this situation, Cangwu wouldn't even take a gamble; he would simply avoid Wei Yuan.

Even a powerful True Immortal like Zhao Li would never want to take a hit, since Wei Yuan is the chosen one of destiny, and no one can say for sure whether their methods of avoiding calamity will work. If they fail to work, and Zhao Li were to suffer a direct blow from the reverse attack that carries the fortunes of billions, he too might perish.

Having become a true immortal, let alone a one or two percent chance of perishing, even a one ten-thousandth chance would never be taken.

But now, looking at the jubilant crowd and feeling the immense joy permeating the world, Wei Yuan suddenly felt that he might have made a mistake before.

In the bustling world, the beings are now increasingly resembling real people, shamans, or mountain dwellers, making it difficult for Wei Yuan to regard them as mere rocks and soil.

Do you remember the original state of the vast land? Back then, apart from the laurel tree and the wondrous tree, there were no living beings, only stones that could be molded into all sorts of things.

Later, when he entered the human world, for a long time, Wei Yuan treated the people there as if they were stones, since they were all part of the world of his mind. In particular, many of them were not reincarnated souls, but appeared out of thin air.

But now, feeling the immense joy of all living beings coming together, Wei Yuan discovered that although they had no flesh and blood, they also had joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and also had the need to pursue hope and ideals.

Wei Yuan stood quietly on the earth, beneath the sky, overlooking the entire world.

Inside the Battle Saint Hall, the hall masters had all entered their respective meditation rooms, quietly awaiting their opportunity. The appointed time arrived, and the entire world suddenly began to tremble. The central city expanded continuously, and a profound and mysterious palace began to appear in its very center, automatically perfecting its details without Wei Yuan's intervention.

Wei Yuan was stunned. After examining it carefully for a long time, he dared to conclude that this was a spiritual mansion!
I've only just entered the Imperial Realm, how come a Spirit Mansion has already appeared? Where is my True Spirit, and what kind of authority of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth does it concern? If I don't even have a True Spirit, where did this Spirit Mansion come from?

The Spirit Mansion was still under construction, and Wei Yuan couldn't enter. Moreover, entering rashly at this time could very well disrupt the construction of the Spirit Mansion. In the Imperial Realm, such naturally formed Spirit Mansions were the highest-level Spirit Mansions, and they must not be interrupted midway.

However, the spiritual palace grew higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, it was already over a hundred feet tall by ordinary standards, but it continued to grow, seemingly without end.

According to Daoist scriptures, the height of several historically renowned spiritual mansions is only about a hundred feet. The spiritual mansion in front of Wei Yuan is about to surpass the height of the patriarchs of all generations and rival the height of the three immortals of that time.

As for the founder of the sect, there is no record of him. According to the founder himself, after he mastered the Yujing cultivation, he fought all the way and had no time to cultivate. Naturally, he developed a true spirit, which built its own spiritual palace, took control of the power of heaven and earth, and then ascended to immortality.

Therefore, the patriarch did not have a deep impression of Yu Jing and left almost no impression. After ascending to immortality, he hurriedly went west to fight a group of celestial witches on the city of heaven.

Just as Wei Yuan was focusing on the progress of his spiritual mansion, a thought suddenly struck him. He saw a beam of light shoot straight into the sky from the Battle Saint Hall, and then the entire central city darkened and fell into the dead of night.

As night fell, twinkling stars began to appear, eventually forming a sky full of 360 twinkling stars.

This is the world of the mind that you, Jun, created to achieve Yujing: the starry night sky.

This world of mind and form is clearly full of mysteries, and is mostly related to the celestial constellations. It must possess numerous supernatural powers and be of extremely high status. Just look at how, when it took shape and manifested, even the bustling power of heaven and earth in all realms was shielded, plunging the entire central city into the dead of night, and you can see just how powerful it is.

Wei Yuan was also full of praise, saying that if Jun Weizhi had been born in this world, he would definitely have been a world-renowned genius.

Just then, another sword aura shot into the sky, piercing the night, and then transformed into thousands of points of light that fell to the ground. Where each point of light landed, a clump of jade-colored bamboo would sprout, and in the blink of an eye, a jade bamboo forest would appear.

On each Solomon's seal bamboo, instead of bamboo leaves, grows countless immortal swords!

Regardless of its magical powers, the sheer force of this bamboo forest is evident in the way the bamboo leaves constantly pierce the night sky as they flutter.

This is Han Li's world of perception, though it lags behind Jun Weizhi by a hair's breadth, its ruthlessness surpasses even that of Jun Weizhi. One wonders, then, whether this grove of sword bamboo or Zhang Sheng's Sword Tomb of the World possesses more swords and is more ruthless.

A moment later, another ray of light rose, and under the cover of night, a blue stone suddenly emerged from the soil. Inside the stone was a piece of wood, and from the broken wood grew a lingzhi (a type of medicinal herb).

The bluestone, broken wood, and fragrant grass, combined, form an area of ​​only a few feet in diameter, yet this tiny space gives one the feeling of self-sufficiency and a world unto itself. This small paradise rivals the starry sky and bamboo forest, holding its own in no way.

Is this Fuyao's inner world? Why does it look so peaceful and serene?
Wei Yuan had been deeply wary of Fuyao, hoping to glean some clues from her inner world, but he never expected that what she had cultivated was a small world that resembled a paradise.

The saying goes, "The appearance reflects the heart," and in reality, the world of the heart is a true reflection of a cultivator's inner self—this cannot be hidden. So, is Fuyao simply a little girl who loves peace and wants to grow up alone?

All three masters of the Fighting Saint Hall have successfully completed the Imperial Realm cultivation, and the goal of opening a new path in the heavens has been achieved. However, Wei Yuan is not in a hurry to end it and plans to give Lei Ling and Dugu Cangqiong a little more time, although he doesn't have much hope for the two of them.

Just then, Wei Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed. It turned out that while his attention was completely drawn to the three people's mental world, the spiritual mansion had already been completed!
