Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 762 Innate Spiritual Root, Xuanhuang Mother Tree!
The Xuanhuang world is governed by a strict order, encompassing everything from cultivators' advancement to all aspects of life, all of which are subject to the law.

The level of authority in the legal system not only represents one's status, but also relates to one's moral character!

"Only those who have reached the seventh level of the Dharma Net can advance to the Dao Lord rank!"

With various pieces of information in mind, the sword lotus body connected with the Dharma net. In the blink of an eye, a vast and boundless divine net that encompassed all things appeared in his mind.

"Om~"

Endless divine runes flowed, faintly discernible as nine layers above and below.

Even with focused perception, Li Yuan could only discern the outlines of seven layers of the magic net, and could vaguely make out twelve indescribable, terrifying figures.

"According to Yun Changlong's intelligence, the seventh layer of the Legal Network can only accommodate twelve people..."

Li Yuan gazed at the net of law and felt that it was as vast as the starry universe.

The shadows of the twelve Golden Immortals stretched across the universe, with countless stars below them, increasing as one went deeper into the universe.

"The reason why the Three Sages of Xuanhuang control the number of cultivators is perhaps because the limit of cultivators that the Dharma Net can support is only this many?"

A thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind: "Perhaps, this is why the Three Sages of Xuanhuang no longer seal the boundary?"

Yun Changlong's intelligence gave him a much deeper understanding of the French Open.

Li Yuan originally thought that the Dao Sect had realized the potential of the Law Net and sent people to explore it. In the end, Dao Lord Jiuhuang made a move, forcing the Xuanhuang World to reopen.

But now, he feels that the opening of the Xuanhuang Realm is inevitable.

There's no other reason than that the law has its limits.

The net of law has three layers, with only three saints, five emperors, and twelve golden immortals. The number of positions is limited, but the number of cultivators will only increase.

"For cultivators below the sixth level of the Dharma Net, the Dharma Net is of great help, but for those great cultivators who aspire to become Dao Lords, it is a dead end!"

"This is the flaw of the French Open."

Li Yuan understood perfectly.

The Law Network has enormous war potential, but in reality, once the Law Network is established, the Xuanhuang Great World will only have one path to take: outward expansion.

This is the will of the Three Sages of Xuanhuang, and also the will of all cultivators in the Xuanhuang Myriad Realms!

A multitude of thoughts raced through Li Yuan's mind as he looked at the message on the sword lotus body:
[Cultivator of the Mystic Realm]

[French Open: First Tier]

[Realm: Two Realms United]

[Technique: Primordial Five Punishments Sword]

[Supernatural power: none]

[Spell: None]

[Mysterious and Yellow Merit: No great merit, 3,900 minor merit]

"Barely."

Li Yuan remained unmoved.

Reaching the peak of the second realm within a year is naturally astonishing for a normal cultivator.

But for him, it was barely enough.

The real gain for the Sword Lotus Body was the 'spell repair' missions that she had been taking on over the past year.

Although the Sword Lotus Body appears to have no spells, in reality, Li Yuan obtained dozens of spells and techniques of varying levels through it.

This includes, but is not limited to, top-level visualization diagrams such as the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram'.

"Advancement to the third rank or above in the Law Network requires training in the Twelve Great Realms, mostly the Realms of Sin. However, advancement to the lower three ranks only requires the Xuanhuang Merit and proficiency in magic and martial arts..."

As Li Yuan thought about it, a tremor resounded in his heart:

[With 3,000 minor merits, one can advance to the second tier of the Legal Network.]

Is there a promotion opportunity?

"Yes!"

As Li Yuan agreed, the light and shadow before his eyes suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, he was on an empty martial arts stage.

Then, under his gaze, a majestic figure stepped forward.

"At the peak of the second realm, with proficiency in magic and martial arts, it's not particularly difficult."

Li Yuan stepped forward. Although his Sword Lotus Body did not possess any magic, he did not need any magic against an opponent of this rank.

Before long, the martial arts arena shattered and disappeared, and the Sword Lotus Body had advanced to the second level of the Law Net.

"Om~"

Faintly, Li Yuan felt an indescribable, terrifying thought sweep over him, but it disappeared in less than a moment.

"It's no different from the first-tier?"

Li Yuan focused his mind and sensed that functions such as empowerment and repair were the same as before, but he felt that the legal network had become more intimate.

"According to Yun Changlong's intelligence, after the authority of the Legal Network is promoted, breaking through the bottleneck will be greatly enhanced, but the Sword Lotus Body has no bottleneck to begin with..."

Li Yuan was not disappointed. He simply reviewed all the information in his mind again, and then focused his mind on himself, beginning to visualize the Xuanhuang World Tree.

The advancement of the legal system is orderly; even descendants of the Five Emperors, with their divine and demonic talents, must proceed step by step and cannot be surpassed.

But the 'Chosen One' is an exception!

"The Xuanhuang World Tree carries the Law Net; when the World Tree favors someone, the Law Net favors them... Fang Han and Jue Shenji once ascended to the heavens in one step, directly reaching the fifth or sixth level of the Law Net..."

"I have cultivated the Xuanhuang magic power, and the true form of the Xuanhuang World Tree is quite outlined. I wonder if this magic net will recognize it?"

Li Yuan pondered to himself.

He didn't know much about Xuanhuang's favor, only that it required Xuanhuang's magical power to refine the true form of the Xuanhuang World Tree.

But he wasn't using the profound magic power he had cultivated through visualizing the World Tree, so he wasn't sure if the old tree would recognize him.

"Let's give it a try. If it works, great; if not, we'll think of other ways."

After a moment's thought, Li Yuan had already made up his mind.

After learning that the Dao Lord-level giants of the Xuanhuang Great World were likely all being restrained, he became much bolder.

Even if the law detects something amiss, it will only result in the loss of a lotus seed, without harming his physical body.

"Om~"

As soon as Li Yuan had a thought, a bright light suddenly shone in his mind, and the shadow of a majestic divine tree slowly appeared.

Then, streams of profound yellow magic power flowed and surged within his body, flowing into the shadow of the World Tree in his mind's sea. Finally, streams of profound yellow light surged toward the space between the sword lotus's brows.

He wants to unite the divine palace!

"boom!"

The mud ball was scalding hot, and the divine realm trembled.

Sword Lotus Body possesses exceptional talent and has not yet broken through any bottlenecks; the Divine Palace is merely a natural progression for him.

In just a moment, according to Li Yuan's perception, the area within the hazy divine realm where the sword lotus body's Niwan point was located was already trembling violently.

"Boom!"

The divine realm roared.

Unlike the vast ocean of the main body, the divine realm of the Sword Lotus Body consists of only a barren land of about a thousand miles in circumference.

As streams of profound magical power flowed into it, patches of vegetation sprang up from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, surrounded by countless plants, a small tree about a foot tall slowly appeared.

"Om~"

Almost simultaneously, that terrifying thought descended once more.

This thought was pure and powerful; in an instant, Li Yuan felt as if his inner and outer worlds had been seen through.

"Om~"

In a daze, Li Yuan even felt as if time was flowing backward.

Various images flickered and flowed in his mind, from when he condensed his divine palace, to when he visualized the Xuanhuang True Form Diagram, to when he joined the Three Saints Sect...

Straight to the icy pool where the sword lotus was born!

Tracing back to the source!

Li Yuan's heart tightened.

Although he had erased all traces related to his original body, he was truly unsure whether he could evade the law.

In fact, in Black Mountain City, at the same time as severing his connection with the Sword Lotus Body, Li Yuan had already entered the Divine Burial Coffin Secret Realm.

Once he senses something is wrong, he will immediately challenge Yuan Changsheng to a duel and release this strange, monstrous ape that has attained enlightenment!
"Om~"

This instant felt incredibly long to Li Yuan.

That will was as vast as the starry sea, as if it wanted to see through every inch of him.

A moment later, when his will disappeared, Jian Lian's body was covered in sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

"You passed?"

Such a thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

In the next instant, he felt everything go black before his eyes, all his senses vanished, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.

……

……

"Om~"

In the Xuanwei Realm, in a small courtyard of an ancient city, Qin Qian sat cross-legged, communicating with the Dharma Net while simultaneously communicating with the Nile Monk through a mysterious connection.

"Are you sure it will work? That old tree is extremely exclusive; there's never been a precedent of it favoring outsiders throughout history!"

Qin Qian was somewhat reluctant.

It was no easy feat for him to receive the ordination from the Three Saints, and he also wanted to win first place in the martial arts competition, so he was really unwilling to take such a big risk.

"Different."

The monk Nyarlathotep patiently explained, “Throughout history, few have been favored by the Xuanhuang World Tree because the vast majority of beings have no way of sensing the location of that ancient tree. But now it’s different…”

"The Law Net is rooted in the Xuanhuang World Tree, and any cultivator has the opportunity to sense its existence. Even someone with meager talent like Fang Han can be favored!"

"It may not be that simple."

Qin Qian remained calm: "If everyone could communicate with that old tree, those who would receive its favor in this era would not only be Jue Shenji and Fang Han."

You are different!

Nile Monk was somewhat pleased with Qin Qian's growth. Since his defeat in the Sword Realm, he no longer had the arrogant attitude he used to have.

"You are the manifestation of the Heavenly Heart, and you will surely attract that old tree to descend. That old tree naturally has an immense thirst for all dimensions..."

The monk Nyarlathotep explained, but Qin Qian remained silent.

"While the old tree was dormant, the Three Sages of Xuanhuang forged a protective net, greatly suppressing the old tree's will. It may not be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood!"

Knowing his thoughts, the Nyima monk continued to persuade him:
"That old tree is an innate spiritual root, bearing the weight of the myriad realms. If you were to gain its favor, not to mention that Chaos Body, even the Absolute Divine Mechanism and the Immortal Slaughtering King Map would be no match for you!"

"I……"

Qin Qian paused for a moment, then said, "I'll give it a try."

"ASAP."

The monk urged, "Countless people have their eyes on that old tree; remember, we must not let anyone beat us to it!"

"Ok!"

Qin Qian severed his connection with the Nile monk and then mobilized the newly generated Xuanhuang magic power within his body.

"The Xuanhuang World Tree..."

With a thought, Qin Qian connected with the Dharma Net and, under its influence, began to visualize the innate spiritual root.

"Om~"

It seemed like a long time, yet also like a fleeting moment.

Qin Qian's heart skipped a beat. In a daze, his divine sense seemed to traverse the void and chaos, existing between existence and non-existence.
He saw the enormous divine tree that supported all worlds.

Its branches sway between existence and non-existence, and among its leaves, countless thousands of 'fruits' radiate various kinds of light.

Mysterious and sacred!
'It's that simple?'

Qin Qian was astonished.

His profound magical power was obtained from elsewhere by the Nile monk, and he had never even contemplated the true form of the Profound World Tree more than a few times.

How could he possibly win his favor?
'Perhaps this old tree has been pushed to its limit by the Three Sages of Xuanhuang?'
