Perfect World: The Path of Pure Source

In the Cold Realm, ancient tales resurface, stirring up a corner of the path to immortality.

Yang Jian witnessed firsthand how the invincible supreme being among the ancient immortals froze the heavens with the power of Taiyin, sealing off the heavenly tribulation, in the face of such supreme power.

That person is almost an immortal, just one step away. His strength is terrifying. This kind of tribulation really can't stop him. He has the hope of attaining immortality!

"The Taiyin category has all sorts of transformations, which are also infinitely mysterious." Yang Jian was immersed in the various transformations of that Supreme Being's Daoist arts, and felt a kind of aura, as well as a kind of enlightenment. The strange phenomena of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths behind him spontaneously appeared, and Taiyin runes were condensing within them!

The Supreme Technique of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths naturally circulated, transforming the Yin Qi into runes, which were being written. Around them were strange sights such as flying dragons, jade rabbits holding the moon, and white cicadas chirping. The double pupils shone brightly, and the right eye's ability to reverse the sun and turn back the heavens recorded the precious technique. It was evolving and being quickly mastered. He actually mastered a Yin Precious Technique from it!

In that scene, after another tribulation of lightning struck, the heavenly tribulation was about to end. Light rain fell, and the light of immortals appeared. Not only did the Supreme Yin Emperor smile, but everyone in the tribe was overjoyed, cheering and extremely excited.

However, an unexpected change occurred: a crack appeared between the eyebrows of the Supreme Yin, and then continued to expand as he disintegrated!

"The Ancient Immortal Curse! In order to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation, he did not suppress the curse within his body, and it eventually broke through into his primordial spirit." Yang Jian was shocked. He did not expect that at the last moment, the Taiyin Supreme would actually fall because of the Ancient Immortal Curse!

He couldn't help but wonder if this curse was truly laid down by a powerful being from another realm, in order to eradicate the Immortal Ancient Era and the Primordial Ancient Realm, and eliminate all those with potential.

"What a pity." Yang Jian sighed. At the end of the scene, the Taiyin Supreme had no choice but to use all his strength to obliterate the heavenly tribulation. However, he could no longer control the power of transformation. The last wisp of divine power fell and affected this world.

In an instant, the world was frozen solid, the entire microcosm was frozen, and all things perished!

With just a wisp of his Yin energy, the entire world vanished with him, buried in the dust of time.

However, Yang Jian noticed that when the Cold Realm was desolate and everything was frozen, something fell from the sky and crashed into the ground. It was the last thing left behind by the Taiyin Supreme.

"The remnants of the Supreme Yin." His expression shifted, and he memorized the location with his double pupils, deciding to go and find it.

After all the images faded away, the altar returned to calm, and the Cold Realm remained as cold as ever.

But only Yang Jian knew that a miracle had occurred here. The strongest person in a tribe surpassed the sect leader, broke through all the way up, suppressed the curse, and was about to become an immortal. He was incredibly talented and might even be the strongest person in the history of the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm. He wanted to break through the Immortal Ancient Seal, dismantle the curse, and lead all the tribes out of their predicament, but unfortunately he still failed.

As a fellow survivor, he felt a pang of sympathy, wondering how he would react if he were to face such a situation one day.

After a moment of silence, Yang Jian set off again, heading towards the location of the Taiyin Supreme's treasure.

An hour later, he arrived at a mountainous area. There was a lot of vegetation around, but it was all very strange. Some areas were snow-white, where snow peaches were growing, their pure white petals falling and their fragrance filling the air. Other areas were golden, dazzling and bright, where golden cypress trees were growing, full of vitality.

Finally, Yang Jian climbed to the top of the highest mountain and saw a lake with the dark Taiyin Divine Water flowing inside.

This water is most peculiar; it can freeze all living things, and even affect the gods if there is a sufficient quantity.

Yang Jian once again took out the True Dragon Horn for protection, and the Dark Immortal Golden Cauldron enveloped his primordial spirit. He then leaped directly into the Taiyin Lake. After half a day's work, he found a large pit at the bottom of the lake, and nearby was a Taiyin Origin Stone, a pure evolution of the Taiyin Dao.

What caught his attention most was a skull in the center of the pit. Even after countless ages, it remained smooth and exuded a profound Daoist charm. In the blink of an eye, the skull transformed back into a fleshy and robust man!

With white hair and blue eyes, a crescent moon mark between his brows, he was handsome and aloof, just like the former Supreme Yin. Such an unparalleled figure was comparable to the Demon Lord, Ye Qianyu, and Mo Wudao!

Unfortunately, not a trace of power remained in the skull; it was all devoured by the curse. The flesh and spirit dissipated, the body shattered, and only the skull remained, sinking to the bottom of the lake.

Below the skull is a precious mirror, permeated with the power of Yin, shaped like a full silver moon hanging high. Below, cold air gathers into auspicious clouds to support it. It does not look like a weapon, but rather like a divine moon hanging here!

Supreme artifact!

Yang Jian's expression shifted. Was this the treasure left behind by the powerful tribe member who failed to ascend to immortality?

At this moment, the Taiyin Treasure Technique he had just learned also began to operate naturally, and the Taiyin Qi at the bottom of the lake was mobilized, transforming into crescent-shaped clouds that surrounded him.

Drawn by this, the skull also lit up slightly, and the last faint trace of its lingering will echoed, turning into ripples that swept across Yang Jian's body, sensing his ancestral bloodline, his magic and opportunities, and even more so, the part of the ancient immortal curse that had been resolved within him!

"You are a similar person, having embarked on this path." The lingering spirit sensed Yang Jian's identity as a descendant of the Immortal Ancient Clan and sighed softly. "Younger generation, carry on my will, you must go out and lead the tribe to break free of the curse and return to the outside world!"

Then, the divine mirror flew into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths within Yang Jian's body along with the skull. They were all descendants of the deceased and on the path to breaking the curse. In addition, outsiders would inevitably create barriers. Yang Jian was the most outstanding among the descendants of this generation, so he was naturally worthy of being entrusted with this task.

"Thank you for the treasure, senior. I will use the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture to nourish my skull, and then find all kinds of soil to bury it. If a remnant soul reappears in the future, it will be considered as continuing a life." Yang Jian accepted this favor and immediately bowed to thank the Supreme Yin.

In a sense, he inherited the will of the former tribesmen and will lead the tribe out into the world in the future!

Moreover, under the nurturing of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture, a new battle spirit was born from the skull. It was somewhat unstable. Seeing this, Yang Jian used a move to send the Taiyin Origin Stone into the battle spirit's body, stabilizing it and allowing it to fully take shape by relying on the Taiyin Origin.

Upon closer inspection, its appearance is identical to that of the Taiyin Supreme, its cultivation level is comparable to Yang Jian's, and its strength is formidable. It can be considered a continuation of the remnant spirit and the Dao trace. Most importantly, with this battle spirit, the Taiyin Supreme will have hope of returning in the future. Yang Jian treats it differently from other enslaved battle spirits.

Through this battle spirit, Yang Jian was also able to see the cultivation path of the Taiyin Supreme in the past. It was a time of transition between the old and new methods. He entered the Dao with ice and snow and transformed into Taiyin, which gave Yang Jian great inspiration.

If the Dao can be like this, then what about the Dao Seeds derived from the Dao? Can they also evolve in this way, advancing further through Nirvana? An ordinary seed continuously sublimates until it becomes invincible! He pondered this, thinking of using the body as a seed in the future, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him: why not combine the previous human body as a seed with the Dao Seed?

There are second-tier seeds in the world, such as Blood Qi Seeds, Soul Power Seeds, and Time Seeds, as well as other first-tier Dao Seeds and even Immortal Seeds; so why can't one break through the limits and condense a Blood Qi Seed by using the Blood Refining Realm Divine Treasure? Moreover, unlike the purely ancient method of 'seeking from heaven and earth,' this seed is 'seeking from within the human body'! Even if one goes to other realms and encounters different Daos, one can avoid their influence!

Combining the concept of the body as a seed, and following this deduction, the Cave Heaven Realm can condense the seed of the Cave Heaven World; the Spirit Transformation Realm can condense the seed of all spirits... the Venerable Realm can condense the seed of humanity; the Divine Fire Realm can condense the seed of divinity... and so on, the limit of every worldly law is a 'human body Dao seed' of the ancient immortal law!

Of course, it's not that every realm must be like this. What's more important is choosing to evolve seeds that align with one's own path! These seeds are not strong at first, but they can be reborn and sublimated as one's cultivation progresses, one's understanding of the Great Dao deepens, and one's understanding of life becomes more profound. They become stronger and stronger until they are 'united' to form one's own Great Dao seed, which is one's own life, body, and Dao seed, freeing one from external constraints.

If one can succeed, one will have the Dao as the seed, oneself as the seed, and humanity as the seed! This will naturally make up for the shortcomings of the ancient methods being affected by different realms and different Daos, and may even be able to resist the research and breaking of the rules by foreign realms on the ancient methods and seeds to a certain extent! However, how to cultivate and how to achieve success is another matter.

"To achieve these things, one must comprehend the true meaning of the divine way, break through the limits of worldly laws, and possess the Dao Seed for further study before evolution can occur. Most importantly, one must possess double pupils and a third eye to internally perceive the human body's divine treasures and discern the structure and mysteries of the Dao Seed!"

Yang Jian pondered that one of the important reasons he dared to take this path was the special nature of his double pupils and heavenly eye, which allowed him to see through the origin and observe the internal structure of the human body's divine treasure and Dao seed, perform microscopic operations, and guide it to evolve the Dao seed. This step alone stumped other cultivators.

In other words, this is also a unique form of the fusion of two methods: the ancient method supports the new method, and the new method and the ancient method are integrated and transformed, with the two methods interpreting a completely new divine path!

Swish!

The next moment, Yang Jian temporarily put aside his thoughts, flew away from Taiyin Lake, and with a wave of his hand, the divine mirror reappeared. The round moon-like mirror reflected on the lake and absorbed all the Taiyin divine water, turning it into a deadly weapon against the enemy.

"That's excellent. With this, I now have a method to cultivate a second strand of immortal energy."

In Yang Jian's own mind, there's never too much magic weapon. Ideally, he would wield a three-pointed, double-edged sword, carry a silver bullet and a golden bow; wear a crown that ascends to heaven, illuminating the three lights and ten thousand evil spirits; wear cloud-patterned shoes, allowing him to ascend to heaven and descend to earth; hang a demon-binding rope at his waist, along with the Kunlu and Tai'a swords, possessing all eight treasures; have a halo behind his head holding a "divine mirror" to illuminate the demon king, causing the six thieves to submit; wear an eight-treasure jade belt at his waist; and wear a nine-clawed dragon robe amidst purple mist!

On the day of his great accomplishment, he will lead the Kunpeng to soar through the sky on his left, and the Nine Netherworld Hound as his dog on his right. His Qilin mount will surpass even the dragon horse, and three thousand grass-root gods will accompany him amidst the strange phenomena of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

Only in this way can one claim to be the source of the wondrous Dao and dare to proclaim the manifestation of divine power!

He didn't linger, but instead returned to the location of the Cold Realm Altar to begin his cultivation.

Meanwhile, the outside world was in turmoil, with many people searching for traces of him!

In particular, news has spread within the Five Clans Alliance that Yang Jian has left the Eight-Armed Soul Clan and is now without anyone to protect him, making it the perfect time to strike.

Thus, the forces that had allied with the outsiders gathered together to discuss countermeasures, aiming to nip the overlord in the bud as soon as possible, lest he become a god and later settle scores with them.

Outside the Burial Realm and the Ancient Burial Hall, the celestial gods of the four races—the Dragon, the Sparrow, the Golden Elephant, and the Rakshasa—appeared, followed by True One Realm cultivators.

"Why haven't they arrived yet? Are they reluctant to leave?" The Rakshasa god was getting impatient. He looked up into the distance when two warships suddenly appeared.

"Fellow Daoist, you have been waiting for a long time. My Fire Cloud Cave has been rooted in the Immortal Ancient Realm for many lifetimes, intermarrying and multiplying with the natives. However, we have been living in the Heavenly Fire Realm for a long time, and the journey is far, which is why we have arrived a little late." The Fire Cloud Cave's forces have arrived, which are the reserve forces left in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm in the past!

Not only him, but another group of people from Fallen God Ridge also left the warship. In fact, many powerful forces had begun to lay out plans for the Immortal Ancient Realm many lifetimes ago, leaving their descendants here to intermarry and reproduce, forming tribes, which then became the help and protection of later generations. More importantly, they wanted to use this opportunity to search for the secrets of the Immortal Ancient Realm and the ultimate victor.

The most successful one in this field was the Immortal Palace. The once-proud Emperor Kun stayed in the Immortal Ancient City, where he built a tribe and his own cultivation reached the level of a Heavenly God. However, he was worried about the curse of the Void Path and thus did not break through.

"Where are the people from the Immortal Palace? Where is Emperor Kun?" The gods of Fallen God Ridge snorted coldly, thinking that someone was more important than them and was going to make a grand entrance as the last one.

However, the celestial being from Fire Cloud Cave shook his head and said, "No one from the Immortal Palace has come. As for Emperor Kun, since Emperor Chong of this generation was killed by Huang, he has personally come out of seclusion to capture that little thief."

"So it seems that the team that went to the Cold Realm to hunt down the Overlord is just this group of people." The Golden Elephant Clan's Heavenly God's eyes flashed with cold light as he looked around. This time, the formation was truly powerful.

Six celestial beings alone have arrived, and eighteen True One Realm cultivators have also come!

"For him to make us mobilize such a large force, he, the Overlord, has every reason to be proud!" Several celestial beings sneered, and then tacitly headed towards the Cold Realm.

Six great gods, eighteen true ones, hunting down the overlord!
