My Mysterious Left Hand

Chapter 102 With a Solid Foundation, Heaven and Earth Rejoice

The five elements move in unison, driving all things!

Metal element stirs the sharp energy of wind and thunder; Wood element connects with the growth of life; Water element entangles with icy mists; Fire element ignites the blazing light; Earth element stabilizes mountains and rivers.

In an instant, within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on Li Chen, all kinds of heaven and earth energies of various attributes were plunged into a state of violent jubilation, forming an enormous energy vortex.

This torrent, which gathers the power of the five elements and their derivatives, did not return entirely to the original grotto-heaven. Instead, under the guidance of the newly formed cycle involving the interweaving of time and space in the three grotto-heavens, it began to impact, open up, and shape other locations in the void of the dantian!

"Is this... a naturally formed grotto-heaven?"

Li Chen suddenly understood as if by lightning.

Besides condensing a phantom of a cave heaven with specific attributes using cultivation techniques, there is another, even rarer and more difficult, method for cultivating at the Cave Heaven Realm—

By sensing the universe and resonating with all things, endless rules and energy spontaneously nurture and open up new realms within the body!

As the saying goes, the Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things.

After the Three Grotto Heavens comes the stage of the Three Gatherings of All Things.

The kind of paradise created in this way is often more compatible with oneself and has greater potential, but it is also more dangerous, with requirements for talent, opportunity, and foundation so demanding that it is despairing.

At this moment, under the chain reaction of triggering fragments of time rules, inducing the spacetime resonance of the three grotto heavens, and drawing on the five elements and various other powers, Li Chen unexpectedly embarked on this path!

"Boom—"

'

A tremendous roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, seemed to resonate within him.

Above and below the Star Realm Cave and the Pure Source Cave, three new, blurry phantoms are struggling to emerge amidst the intertwining of energy torrents and rules.

One, its entire body shimmering with a metallic luster, with tiny arcs of electricity leaping at its edges, exuding an indestructible and chilling aura of judgment—the nascent form of the Golden Sharp Cave Heaven!

One, emerald green and full of vitality, with the phantoms of grass and trees inside seemingly growing endlessly, nourishing all things and forming the prototype of a long life cave!

One, crimson like churning magma, scorching and violent, radiating boundless light, seemingly capable of burning away all filth—the nascent form of the Crimson Bright Cave Heaven!

Metal, wood, fire!

In addition to the existing Primordial Grotto-Heaven, Star Realm Grotto-Heaven, and Pure Source Grotto-Heaven —

The six illusory images of the Heavenly Caves stood majestically in the void above Li Chen's dantian!

The six grotto-heavens faintly appeared, forming six slowly rotating discs behind him.

Although the three newly formed grotto-heavens are only in their embryonic stage and far from being fully formed, their appearance signifies that Li Chen's realm barrier has been ruthlessly broken through under this series of incredible chain reactions.

The third realm of the grotto-heaven has been achieved!

That's right, he didn't need to go through the middle and late stages; he directly reached the third realm of the Cave Heaven.

The Six Grottoes are not arranged haphazardly.

The Primordial Cave Heaven remains firmly in the center, like the heart of the universe.

The five illusory grotto-heavens—Star Realm, Pure Source, Golden Sharpness, Longevity, and Crimson Brightness—slowly revolved around it according to a mysterious trajectory.

They are interconnected by divine power and complement each other's rules, forming a three-dimensional cyclical system that is infinitely more complex and stable than the previous triangular cycle.

The moment this system was formed, an indescribable sense of "stability," "solidity," and "perfection" emerged from the deepest part of Li Chen's Dao Foundation.

If the previous foundation of the Dao was refined steel, then at this moment, it is refined steel that has been refined a hundred times and transformed into the core of a star.

Heavy, solid, and unshakeable, it contains explosive power and a sense of near eternity.

The foundation of the Dao is now completely solid!

"Thump—"

'

It was as if a bell, originating from the very source of the Great Dao, emanated from Li Chen's solid foundation of Dao.

The sound of the bell disregarded the barriers of matter and space, resounding in the heart and soul of every living being with spiritual perception!

Yanhuang Academy, playground.

Qin Xiaotian was still reeling from the astonishing 50,000 jin of strength displayed by Yang Qingsong and the others, while the teachers and students around him had not yet recovered from their shock.

Sudden-

"Thump!"

The "Dorma Bell" rang out, its sound resounding directly through the soul—

Everyone, regardless of their cultivation level, even those who had just entered the Body Tempering Realm, felt their hearts leap and their souls tremble. An indescribable sense of awe arose from the deepest part of their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked up at the sky.

The once clear sky was instantly transformed by the changing weather!

It wasn't dark clouds looming overhead, but rather endless, colorful rays of light emerging from nothingness, like an inverted Milky Way hanging down from the heavens.

It started in the direction of Chenxiao Mountain, but in the blink of an eye it covered the entire Yanhuang Academy, and continued to spread at an incredible speed to the whole of China, the whole of Asia, and even—the whole earth!

Where the rosy glow of dawn passed, sweet rain fell from the sky.

This sweet rain is no ordinary rain, but a golden rain of light formed by a mixture of highly condensed primordial energy of heaven and earth, life essence, and faint fragments of rules!

As the sunlight fell, all things rejoiced.

Inside the Yanhuang Academy, flowers, grasses, and trees sprouted, blossomed, and bore fruit at a visible speed, emitting a rich and unique fragrance.

Those ordinary workers and clerical staff had their old ailments and hidden injuries healed instantly, their white hair turned black, their wrinkles smoothed out, and they seemed to have become more than ten years younger.

Lower-level students and teachers experienced their cultivation bottlenecks loosening, and some even broke through directly, resulting in a surge in their aura.

"Boom—I've broken through! I've broken through the bottleneck of being a mortal that I've been stuck on for three years!" A teacher exclaimed, tears streaming down his face.

"My hidden injuries—are completely healed, this—"

A security guard who had been injured in a mission moved his hands and feet in disbelief.

"Oh my god! What is this?"

Around the world, countless ordinary people looked up at the colorful clouds and golden rain falling from the sky, feeling both awe and instinctive comfort, with some of their ailments quietly lessening.

That's not all!

Above the sky, where the rosy clouds converged, faintly visible were celestial palaces, phantoms of divine beasts, and golden lotuses of the Great Dao, as if countless phantoms of gods and demons were bowing in respect towards the direction of Chenxiao Mountain.

A faint, ethereal melody, like a Zen chant, echoes between heaven and earth, cleansing the soul.

Global celestial phenomena bring blessings to all living beings!

This is no ordinary breakthrough that could cause such a sight; it is as if the heavens and earth are celebrating and the universe is offering a gift!

"The third realm of the Cave Heaven?! No—this phenomenon might not even occur when breaking through to the Human King realm from the seventh realm of the Cave Heaven?!"

Qin Xiaotian looked up at the sky, feeling the vast majesty and boundless blessings that enveloped the entire world, and was completely dumbfounded: "Teacher Li Chen—what exactly—are you?!"

He thought of some fragmented records about "taboos" in ancient books.

Thinking of Li Chen's extraordinary abilities—ignoring heavenly tribulations and being favored by heaven and earth—an uncontrollable conjecture that made his soul tremble emerged.

Then, he thought again of Li Chen's terrifying feat of breaking the rules and forcibly awakening the Earth and the universe from an era of eternal silence.

Could it be—

The thought of a certain possibility sent chills down his spine, filling him with boundless shock.

It's not just Yanhuang Academy.

On Earth, some ancient beings hidden deep in mountains, marshes, and secret caves have also been alarmed by this global phenomenon.

Deep within the Kunlun Mountains, in an ancient cave covered in ice and snow, a pair of eyes that seemed to have been frozen for millennia slowly opened and gazed eastward.

His weathered eyes were filled with disbelief, shock, and deep dread: "Heaven and earth rejoice together, all paths pay homage—"

Such phenomena, could it be that there is a taboo against completely solidifying the foundation of one's Dao in this world? How is that possible—after the calamity, the Heavenly Dao is damaged, how could it allow—"

At the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, in the deepest trench, amidst a twisted darkness, came a hoarse whisper filled with greed and rage: "That direction—Yanhuang—the delicious aura of the Five Elements Sacred Body is there too—and this damned, disgusting, and terrifying forbidden radiance—the time is not yet ripe—we must be patient—"

Beneath the Egyptian pyramids, in a phantom temple entirely constructed of spiritual energy, a golden-crowned figure flickered: "A new variable—a powerful variable—a taboo—perhaps, it's possible to make contact—"

At the edge of the solar system, the old scavenger who had once appeared in Mango Village also looked towards Earth with horrified eyes: "Is that the little guy? This growth rate is terrifying!"

They are all "old gods" or ancient beings who awakened or lay dormant for various reasons at the end of or after the "Eternal Silence Era".

The cosmic-level phenomenon triggered by Li Chen's consolidation of his Dao foundation was like a nuclear bomb dropped into a calm pond, completely disrupting their original rhythm and plans. It shocked, frightened, and alerted them, and also stirred up their greed and scheming even more.

The depths of the universe, an unknowable place.

In the darkness, the supreme cosmic will seemed to cast a "gaze" upon Earth.

There was no malice in that "gaze," but rather an indescribable sense of "flattery" and "reassurance," as if to say, "Look how good I am to you, showering you and your world with so many blessings. Don't be angry, don't cause trouble—"
