Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

Lin Xuan's figure traversed the ancient starry road. With each step, it seemed as if he were stepping on the veins of space. His figure flickered between reality and illusion, and his speed was extremely fast.

The newly achieved Eternal Nascent Soul not only brought him a surge in power, but also made his connection with this universe closer than ever before. Within his dantian, the three-inch Nascent Soul sat quietly, its eyes revealing the ever-changing scenes of the universe's birth and death. With each breath, it triggered a mysterious resonance between the acupoints throughout its body and the external void energy.

However, just as he was preparing to explore this ancient star path more deeply, a deeper change quietly arrived.

"Buzz—"

It did not come from the outside world, but originated from his own core, from the newly born nascent soul, and from the unique connection he established with the origin of the universe after surviving the nine tribulations of lightning.

A power far purer, more ancient, and closer to the origin of all things than the seven-colored glow, as if dormant for countless years, was finally awakened and descended with a roar from the unknowable highest place!

This power is formless and intangible; it is neither spiritual energy nor any known form of energy. It is more like... "information," a "rule," or the "original code" that constitutes the most fundamental part of this universe.

It is a direct manifestation of the fundamental laws of the universe!

For ordinary cultivators, receiving the glow of light upon successfully transcending tribulation is already an immense stroke of luck. Only those with extremely deep foundations and potential recognized by the laws of the universe can trigger this deeper level of primordial baptism after the glow of light!

Lin Xuan's figure suddenly stopped, suspended in a relatively stable void. He closed his eyes, and his entire mind was instantly drawn into a wondrous state.

From the outside, he appeared perfectly normal, but in his own perception, he felt as if he had broken free from the constraints of his physical body, transformed into a wisp of consciousness, and merged into a vast, ever-flowing river composed of countless threads of rules.

This is the phantom of the River of Laws! It is the gateway that the origin of the universe opened for him!

Countless colorful and varied fragments of the laws, like shimmering sprites in a river, danced around his consciousness. There was the "Law of Earth," representing solidity and endurance; the "Law of Water," representing agility and vitality; the "Law of Fire," representing heat and destruction; the "Law of Metal," representing sharpness and change; and the "Law of Wood," representing growth and abundance... The fundamental Five Elements laws, like cornerstones, built the framework of the world.

Even more profound are the fragments of the "Law of Space," like transparent ripples, revealing the mysteries of extension, folding, and confinement; the fragments of the "Law of Time," like fleeting moments of time, display the miracles of acceleration, deceleration, and even momentary freezing; the "Law of Thunder" carries the dual aura of destruction and rebirth; the "Law of Slaughter" exudes a chilling sharpness; the "Law of Life" radiates a warm power of creation; and the "Law of Death" reveals the cold and tranquil end of all things…

Countless laws, like a scroll, unfolded before his "eyes".

If an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could see the clear outline of one or two of these laws, it would be an immense blessing, enough to condense supernatural powers and stand out among his peers.

But Lin Xuan's foundation is the unparalleled primordial spirit of the universe's birth and death! His Dao heart is a transcendent intent that has been tempered through two lifetimes and is indestructible!

His consciousness, like a giant vortex, was not passively accepting, but actively, greedily, and in an almost predatory manner, devouring, understanding, and digesting the mysteries of these myriad laws!

The integration of each law deepened his understanding of the universe. He saw why the stars move, how energy is conserved and transformed, the inevitability and contingency of life from birth to death, and how space and time serve as the stage for all of this unfolding.

This is a leap in cognition, a close rapport between the essence of life and the essence of the world.

However, amidst this torrent of countless laws, Lin Xuan's core consciousness remained locked onto a more ethereal yet supreme existence that governed the vast majority of laws—the Law of Words, or rather, the fundamental law that constituted his ability to "make his words become law"!

In the past, when he used "words become law," he relied more on a strong will and instinct, a firm belief in his own "Tao," to forcibly distort and command the rules within a small scope, which was extremely costly, and he knew what it was but not why it was so.

But at this moment, under the baptism of the primordial laws and the nourishment of the river of laws, the mysterious veil shrouding "words become law" is being slowly lifted!

He "saw" how a powerful "will" (especially a will recognized by the origin of the universe) sends out specific "information" (language, divine thoughts, or even intentions), which triggers the threads of the laws in the dark and leverages the deeper power of the rules, thereby giving "language" itself the power to "create reality"!

He saw the invisible yet inevitable causal connection between "words" and "law".

"So that's how it is..." Lin Xuan's consciousness comprehended within the river of laws, "Words becoming law is not simply about commanding heaven and earth. Its essence is using one's own 'Dao' to influence the 'principles' of the universe, and using one's own 'words' to construct the 'order' of laws!"

"My will is the fuse; my language is the blueprint; and the fundamental laws of the universe are the source of power that makes all of this possible!"

"My previous methods were too crude and relied too much on brute force..."

He began a frantic process of comprehension and deduction.

With the blessing of the Origin, his thinking speed reached its limit. He captured, analyzed, and reassembled countless fragments about the "Law of Words." He began to understand the impact of different "speech" structures on the efficiency of leveraging the law, how to trigger the greatest effect with the least consumption, and how to integrate his own path of birth and death into his words, making them more powerful in creation and judgment.

He even began to explore the "law of silence," the "law of true name," and the "law of contract," among other branches of the law related to "word power," broadening his horizons considerably.

This is a fundamental improvement!

If the previous "Words Become Law" was a heavy, unsharpened iron hammer that required immense force to wield, then now, after being baptized and re-comprehended by the fundamental laws, this iron hammer is being tempered, sharpened, and engraved with profound runes, transforming into a peerless divine weapon that moves at will, is incomparably sharp, and has endless uses!

I don't know how much time has passed; it might be a moment, or it might be ten thousand years.

The vast illusory river of laws slowly faded away, and the power of the primordial baptism gradually merged into Lin Xuan's limbs and bones, especially his nascent soul and divine soul, making his essence even closer to the Great Dao.

Lin Xuan's consciousness returned to his body, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

boom!

An invisible pressure emanated from him, not the oppression of power, but a kind of rule-based pressure that seemed to hold a part of the power of heaven and earth! His aura became more restrained, but the starry sky in his deep eyes seemed clearer and more vivid, as if he had really taken a miniature universe into his eyes.

He had a slight thought, but made no sound; he simply focused his mind.

"Certainly."

In an instant, everything in the void within a hundred miles of him seemed to be paused. Floating dust, flowing energy, and even the omnipresent spatial ripples all froze!

This is not a spatial blockade relying on brute force, but rather a temporary "erasure" of the concept of "movement" within this area through a higher-level "definition of rules"!

The effect was similar to before, but Lin Xuan could clearly feel that the consumption was reduced by more than ten times! Moreover, it was more harmonious and natural, as if this was the natural state of this place.

He removed the law, and everything returned to normal.

He then turned his gaze to a distant, drifting, lifeless meteorite.

He did not use the power of the laws of life and death, but spoke softly, as if issuing a verdict:

"There should be vegetation growing here."

Words spoken become law!

On the cold surface of that meteorite, the rules were rewritten. The hard rock seemed to have undergone billions of years of weathering in an instant, transforming into fertile soil. Then, a vibrant green sprouted from the earth, growing and spreading at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, the meteorite had transformed into a vibrant green island floating in the starry sky! Although there was no water or air, and the vegetation was merely a manifestation of the power of the rules, the burgeoning vitality was undeniably real!

To create something from nothing, to define existence!

This is almost the work of the Creator!

Lin Xuan felt a surge of emotions as he experienced all of this. The baptism of the origin not only solidified his realm and strengthened his foundation, but more importantly, it opened the door to the true hall of "words becoming law" for him!

"Now, I can finally begin to grasp the basics of 'words becoming law'," Lin Xuan murmured to himself, his eyes gleaming with confidence. "Before, my application was nothing more than a child wielding a heavy hammer, merely going through the motions. Now, I understand the principle and the method."

He looked up into the depths of the ancient starry road, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless spatial barriers.

"With this method, what fear do I have of countless dangers and powerful enemies ahead?"

"If anyone dares to obstruct my path, then I will use this newly enlightened method to debate with you and see who claims to possess the true Dharma!"

With a single step, his form merged into the void, and he continued onward.
