Perfect World: The Path of Pure Source

Inside the Chaos Pool, Yang Jian stood up. His skin was newly formed, crystal clear like jade, accompanied by a holy aura.

Having undergone the tempering in the Divine Pool, his transformation was like a worm breaking free of its cocoon—an elevation of his life level, with a significant increase in physical strength.

"You're even more perverted than I thought," the ancient saint sighed, but he didn't step into the pool. He just stared at Yang Jian strangely, as if he were looking at a freak.

"This is just the beginning. It's time to head to the land of law fragments." Yang Jian didn't delay and immediately set off to search for the Nine Heavens Dao Mark and the Ten Earth Law Fragments.

The ancient saint nodded and took out a map, which was prepared for him by the temple. It contained information about all the major powers and marked the ancient immortal information collected over the years, recording various opportunities and special areas.

"Found it. Near the Centaur Clan's territory, in the Desolate Realm, there was a gap where the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths collapsed back then. It has a destructive crack that we need to be careful of."

After some research, he found a location that was also dangerous. In the past, a celestial being was accidentally sucked into the rift while exploring it, and his body was never found. It is said that even the leader of the sect would suffer the same fate, so it must not be touched.

Soon, the Heavenly Crippled Realm trembled, and a golden-winged roc flapped its wings and flew out, tearing open the boundary wall with a long cry. On its back stood a person with double pupils, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Let's go! That person with double pupils and the ancient holy son have both gone to the Heavenly Desolate Realm!"

"The Desolate Heaven Realm? Aren't there many spatial rifts there? What's the point of going there? It's too dangerous!"

In no time, cultivators from all walks of life rushed over, eager to witness the two ancient oddballs seeking fortune, hoping they might also make a fortune in the process!

Three days later, in the Desolate Realm.

"Named after desolation, it truly lives up to its name." Yang Jian stood on a seemingly endless desert and glanced at the ancient saint.

The ancient saint spread his hands, explaining helplessly, "This is the safest area. Any further, and there are spatial rifts everywhere. Not to mention you and me, even the sect leader would die if he came."

Yang Jian looked around and began to sense his surroundings by circulating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture. Sure enough, he vaguely sensed some resonance, and the strange phenomena that had occurred when the world collapsed in the past surged into his mind. It was the interaction and resonance between heaven and earth.

Within those golden double pupils, scenes from the past kept flashing before my eyes, including the sky shattering and the earth collapsing.

In other words, he is attaining enlightenment.

This is also the advantage of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture. Because it is a scripture evolved from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it is naturally compatible, very easy to comprehend, resonates with heaven and earth, and borrows the power of this realm.

Even as one continues to cultivate, one's own comprehension and physical constitution will continuously improve, as if one is constantly being nourished by this world.

Moreover, Yang Jian possesses an advantage that other cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture do not have: double pupils!

With the ability to see through illusions and directly perceive the origin, these eyes can help him comprehend the true nature of heaven and earth, and understand the existence of the Dao traces of the Nine Heavens and the fragments of the laws of the Ten Earths. The combination of the two is like adding wings to a tiger.

"Double pupils, truly extraordinary." The ancient saint sighed, recognizing it as an advantage he lacked and found difficult to surpass.

Three more days passed quickly.

Within the Heavenly Desolate Realm, the Ancient Saint suddenly looked up at the horizon, where several figures were rushing towards him.

"Holy Son, we have successfully obtained the Supreme Liquid!" The newcomer was a member of the temple's retinue, carrying a precious bottle from which crystalline mist continuously emanated.

Seeing this, the Ancient Saint nodded. "Which faction in Bright City sold it? Remember to do them a favor."

As a result, the temple members shook their heads. "It wasn't any faction, it was a rogue cultivator. A man named Huang sold us the Supreme Liquid. I heard he fought over it in the Spirit Realm, so it's of very high quality."

"You bought it legitimately, right?" Upon hearing the words "freelance cultivator," the Ancient Saint paused, staring at them. He then saw the temple members nod repeatedly. "Of course, we paid a bit more to save time."

"The Supreme Liquid that Shi Hao sold?" Yang Jian, who was comprehending the Dao Marks of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, turned around and was somewhat surprised to hear this. It was quite a coincidence, but he was the only one who managed to snatch the high-quality Supreme Liquid before entering the Immortal Ancient Realm.

"Here you go, I'll protect you." The ancient saint tossed over the Supreme Liquid, waved his hand, and sat down cross-legged to the side.

"The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture, the Chaos Divine Liquid, the Nine Heavens Dao Mark, the Ten Earths Law Fragment, and the Supreme Liquid are all complete."

Yang Jian stood in the center of the desert, took a deep breath, and immediately activated the scriptures and the power of his double pupils, drawing the surrounding Dao traces and law fragments towards him.

At the same time, the Chaos God and the Supreme Liquid flew out together, covering his body and shining brightly.

In Yang Jian's vision, the inscription of the Eternal Evolution Chart reappeared:

Evolutionary Branch - Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Supreme Technique - Evolving...

"The Dao traces of the Nine Heavens are bestowed upon me; the laws of the Ten Earths become firewood; chaos becomes the furnace; and the Supreme Being becomes the medicine, together refining my Dao!"

The next moment, Yang Jian formed a hand seal, and the Chaos Divine Liquid on his body instantly transformed into a furnace, burning along with the Supreme Liquid!

Under this stimulation, a crack appeared in the center of his brow, resembling a Dao pattern or a new vertical pupil, a third eye.

"Is this a period of seclusion? What are they trying to comprehend?"

In the distance, a group of cultivators who had gathered around whispered among themselves, all watching Yang Jian and the Ancient Saint.

They searched the entire Desolate Realm, but found no opportunities whatsoever. Some even accidentally entered a spatial rift and never returned.

The next moment, someone looked up in confusion, "Why did it suddenly get dark?"

Is it getting dark?

As his words rang out, more and more people shared the same feeling, raising their heads to look at the dome.

But at that moment, everyone stared wide-eyed at the sky.

There appeared vast continents, dark and boundless, exuding a wild and untamed aura!

What's wrong?

People were astonished and dumbfounded. How could so many continents appear out of the void?

Ten continents descended from the sky, each one enormous, seemingly without end.

"Hey, that continent looks a bit like the Three Thousand Provinces. It has a very unique shape, but it's much smaller!" someone whispered.

The continent in the sky is magnificent, but it is still quite different from the real three thousand states.

"Hmm, that place looks somewhat familiar, like the 'Demon-Rising Land,' the shape is the same, it's really strange!" Another cultivator spoke up, mentioning the Demon-Rising Land, which is one of the ten lands alongside the Three Thousand Provinces.

Everyone was taken aback and stared intently. They came from different places, and some ancient families had maps of their respective regions.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, "These are the ten lands of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, each corresponding to one another. How could they appear here?"

How come there are ten pieces of land?

For a moment, people were stunned, somewhat puzzled.

Moreover, those are continents, so real that you can even see majestic mountains, mighty rivers, full of life, and all things growing.

"Could it be...could it be...?" Only the Ancient Saint's expression changed drastically, his heart pounding rapidly. He turned around in shock, staring in Yang Jian's direction, a terrifying guess forming in his mind:

Is it the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture?!

It's not the incomplete scripture from before!

Is this weather pattern trying to complete something?!

In an instant, the temple's followers could no longer sit still; they were all horrified.

Because after the appearance of the Ten Lands, a completely new phenomenon was born.

At an infinite height, nine high heavens appeared, bearing the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers, descending from the sky.

"This is the Nine Heavens!" the ancient saint exclaimed in disbelief.

At this point, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths had all appeared.

Above are the nine heavens, which are the heavens above heavens; below are the ten earths, which are the earths below earths.

Able to traverse heaven and earth, with an invincible golden body, only then can one attain the supreme skill of humanity!

"My God, there are still so many corpses!"

Then someone exclaimed in shock, for they saw a scene on the heavens and the earth that was too horrific: everything was crimson, covered in blood, and littered with corpses, as if a massacre had taken place.

A tattered banner was planted in the ground, smoke from battle filled the air, and flowing blood formed streams. One after another, corpses were impaled with swords and knives, lying haphazardly, a dark, endless mass.

This is the blood-soaked Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a scene from the time when the Immortal Ancient Empire perished!

These are the Dao traces of the Nine Heavens and the fragments of the laws of the Ten Earths.

At the very center of the strange phenomenon, Yang Jian was enveloped in purple aura and golden light. His ancient battle spirits were revived under the guidance of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture. At the edge of the sky, one huge face after another appeared, all looking at him.

Those people, men and women, young and old, were all ancestors who died in battle. Ancient war songs rang out, and the desolate scene of the end times reappeared. Countless heroic spirits stood tall. Although they had long since died in battle, some regrets could not be let go, and their emotions remained forever.

At this moment, the illusory images of mountains and rivers appeared around Yang Jian, as if the world had a soul, connecting with him and empowering him. Countless secret forces poured into the crack between his eyebrows.

Gradually, the crack was tinged with a purple halo, and slowly formed the shape of a vertical eye, which then opened completely!

Such extraordinary phenomena signify that the Heavenly Eye has taken shape, forming mysterious symbols and initially unlocking the treasure; the true Martial Heavenly Eye still has many amazing aspects, and as cultivation deepens in the future, various divine powers will be unlocked one by one.

In Yang Jian's field of vision, the inscription on the Eternal Evolution Chart reappeared: Evolution Branch - Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Supreme Technique - Evolution Completed:

General principles of the practice: The universe is the foundation, I am the only one who is supreme, I am beyond heaven and earth, and I am not in the cycle of reincarnation.

Evaluation: Undeterred by the cycle of reincarnation, I enter the vast universe, where the human realm is born from the nine heavens and ten earths. I wish to raise a sword to slay countless eons, transforming ruthlessness into a world of compassion!

At this moment, a series of insights flooded his mind, and Yang Jian immediately understood that this brand-new Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture was not simply an attack method, but an ultimate heavenly skill that took the body as the universe and ruled over all paths. Its essence was to go from imitation to transcendence, to open up the structure of a complete world within the body, that is, a complete universe system composed of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The key to this Heavenly Art is to construct a "new Nine Heavens and Ten Earths" within the body. Once this step is completed, one can obtain ultimate power; one's body will become the universe, unaffected by the suppression of the outside world; or one will be the only one, with one's words becoming law within one's own "cosmic domain," and all paths bowing down; one can also summon the remnant souls and battle intents of all the fallen powerhouses in the corresponding Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to empower and assist in battle.

The talismanic arts that the ancient sages previously regarded as their ultimate skill are only the most basic techniques in this scripture.

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Supreme Technique!" Yang Jian recited the name of this new scripture once again. This name was not an exaggeration, but rather the literal meaning. When the technique is pushed to its limit, the practitioner will temporarily use the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths within their body to cover reality.

Within this realm, the laws of the outside world are rejected, and only the cultivator's own "cosmic laws" take effect. Enemies are trapped in a quagmire, and their strength is suppressed, just like when the ancient world was eroded by foreign laws and collapsed into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in the past.

Having reached this stage of cultivation, he has overcome his most important weakness from back then. It's truly a twist of fate, and the world is unpredictable.

"He succeeded! He's even surpassed the scriptures I've been practicing?" The ancient saint's eyes widened as he tried to see Yang Jian clearly. He knew in his heart that this prodigy should now prepare to ignite the divine fire and achieve godhood.

As for this breakthrough to the Divine Fire Realm, Yang Jian also had his own plans and arrangements. He wanted to go to a secret place first, a secret place where the Ten Fiends and alien creatures were buried.

"Such a magnificent sight—has this person with double pupils ignited a divine fire? Or has he undergone some kind of rebirth and transformation?"

Within the Heavenly Desolate Realm, cultivators from all sides, drawn by the strange phenomenon, couldn't help but speculate and ponder, all filled with curiosity.

At this moment, the world was completely silent.

At this moment, everyone is watching.

At this moment, Yang Jian stood with his feet firmly planted on the ground and his shoulders reaching for the heavens. His blood surged like a boiling sea. With his hands behind his back, he gazed into the distance, a myriad of emotions welling up in his heart. He couldn't help but let out a long roar: "Sparrows and swans have no distinction of rank, commoners and kings alike drink a cup of wine. I am a great roc in the clouds, only regretting that the sky is too low for me to fly!"
