Chapter 503: The World of Creation and Transformation, The Sea Spirit Clan Seeks Help
Li Xuan had given a lot of thought to how one would cultivate above the realm of Li Dao. After all, it wasn't just a matter of reaching a new realm; it concerned the entire path of cultivation ahead.
Each realm served as the foundation for the next, so when creating a new realm, one had to first establish the general ideas and direction of the subsequent realm to ensure a smooth transition and a seamless cultivation journey.
Since he had transcended the heavens and earth and achieved true strength, he could be considered a genuine master of the martial way. Thus, the creation of each subsequent realm and its cultivation methods had to be logical and well-reasoned.
They had to conform to the principles of cultivation and ensure a smooth transition between realms. Only then could one hope to successfully comprehend and cultivate them.
Otherwise, if one got stuck at a certain realm, unable to progress further, wouldn't that bring their martial path to a dead end?
So, Li Xuan spared no effort in planning the cultivation path beyond the Li Dao realm. He wanted to ensure a smooth transition while maintaining the tradition of possessing overwhelming power.
"Above the realm of Li Dao lies Creation and Transformation!"
The Creation and Transformation Realm!
Li Xuan's body emanated a faint halo of a Dao Ancestor as he spoke, his gaze profound. "Create and transform the world, illuminating all living things, perceiving the Great Dao, and comprehending the Great Dao!"
Xu Yan's heart trembled at these words. Above Li Dao was Creation and Transformation, but what did that truly mean?
As he gazed down at the rivers and mountains below, at the grasses and trees, insects and birds, he seemed to faintly understand what Creation and Transformation meant.
However, he still didn't grasp how one would create and transform the world.
Li Xuan continued, "Creation and Transformation emerge from nothingness and give birth to all things. By creating and transforming all things, one understands the heavens and earth and gains wisdom..."
"Everything in this world originates from Creation and Transformation, and Creation and Transformation, in turn, originate from the vague and distant Great Dao. Only by creating and transforming one's own world and one's own Dao can one communicate with the Great Dao and understand its intentions..."
Beyond Li Dao lies Creation and Transformation.
After establishing one's own Dao and the Dao of the heavens and earth, the path ahead is that of Creation and Transformation.
Creating and transforming the world, creating and transforming oneself, illuminating all living things, and perceiving the vague and distant Great Dao.
This was the path of cultivation that Li Xuan had determined after much contemplation, and it seamlessly connected with the Li Dao realm while maintaining a sense of mystery and power.
Li Xuan had invested a great deal of thought into creating the realm of Creation and Transformation, even with the aid of the Great Dao Golden Book. It still required him to rack his brains to perfect this realm.
Moreover, Li Xuan felt that the realm of Creation and Transformation was extremely profound and might even be able to resonate with the Great Dao Golden Book.
After all, wasn't the feedback from the Great Dao Golden Book also a form of creation and transformation?
As for the realm beyond Creation and Transformation, Li Xuan already had a concept in mind and was in the process of refining it.
"With the realm of Creation and Transformation, I should be able to easily destroy powerful beings like Tai Cang. The Non-Transformation Temple won't pose a threat anymore, right?"
Li Xuan thought excitedly.
The realm of Creation and Transformation was incredibly profound, granting one the ability to create and transform all things from nothingness.
The seven members of the Tai Cang clan had relied on a mysterious purple light to open up the heavens and the earth.
However, if he, Li Xuan, broke through to the realm of Creation and Transformation, he could, without the aid of any treasures, create and transform a world within the realm of Non-Transformation itself.
Such formidable strength was surely beyond the reach of Tai Cang.
Even the expert from the Non-Transformation Temple couldn't match it. Thus, after breaking through to the realm of Creation and Transformation, Li Xuan felt that his confidence would truly be complete.
"With the power of Creation and Transformation, my status as a Dao Ancestor will be well-deserved!"
Li Xuan thought to himself.
The realm of Creation and Transformation was profound, and its cultivation method was exceedingly profound. It relied entirely on self-realization, but Li Xuan had faith in Xu Yan's abilities.
After explaining the theories and cultivation methods of the realm of Creation and Transformation, Li Xuan let Xu Yan continue to quietly contemplate.
While explaining the realm, the halo of the Dao Ancestor surrounding Li Xuan shone brightly, enveloping Xu Yan and enhancing his comprehension.
This was another wonderful use of the Dao Ancestor's halo, aside from its intimidating appearance.
"The wonders of Creation and Transformation cannot be fully grasped in a short time, so you must remember what I've taught you, disciple," Li Xuan said as he explained the realm of Creation and Transformation once more.
Afterward, he asked Xu Yan if there was anything he didn't understand and provided further explanations as needed.
Even a prodigy like Xu Yan required Li Xuan to explain the realm several times before he thoroughly memorized it.
As for when Xu Yan would be able to comprehend the wonders of Creation and Transformation, Li Xuan couldn't speculate.
"Disciple, you must remember the key to the realm of Creation and Transformation. If you can understand this key, you will also comprehend the wonders of Creation and Transformation," Li Xuan said solemnly.
"Master, I will not disappoint you. I will definitely comprehend the key to Creation and Transformation," Xu Yan replied respectfully.
"Good. Listen carefully," Li Xuan said as he held the jade scepter behind his back and slightly raised his head to look at the sky. The halo of the Dao Ancestor surrounded him, exuding the aura of a Dao Ancestor.
"The realm of Creation and Transformation... Finally imparted to Xu Yan. I hope he can grasp its essence soon," Li Xuan mused to himself.
Unknowingly, he had gone from making up cultivation methods to becoming a true Dao Ancestor.
"Meng Chong, Su Lingxiu, Fang Hao, and Jiang Buling... I should also find time to guide them. Being a master is not an easy task," Li Xuan sighed.
He had gone to great lengths for his disciples' cultivation, and it hadn't been easy.
"But it's all worth it."
Feeling pleased, Li Xuan proceeded to offer guidance to Shi Er, Meng Shushu, and a few others on their cultivation. He also took the time to instruct Zi's maid, Cailing'er, on her training.
Ever since awakening the Sea Spirit Clan's Emperor bloodline and obtaining their Emperor's inheritance, Cailing'er's cultivation had accelerated under Li Xuan's tutelage.
Now, she had reached the Heaven Fusion Realm.
"Becoming a Realm Lord shouldn't be a problem," Li Xuan assessed.
As for surpassing the Realm Lord level, it would depend on Cailing'er's fortune and opportunities.
However, staying by his side as his servant, it wasn't impossible for her to break through the Realm Lord's constraints.
Of course, it would require a significant amount of time.
Surpassing the Sea Spirit Clan's Emperor was also well within her reach.
"This girl has truly seized a great opportunity!" Li Xuan marveled. Opportunities were often fleeting, and Cailing'er had grasped hers by choosing to stay by his side as a servant.
"Feng Yan knows how to seize opportunities as well," Li Xuan thought with a smile. He admired those who could clearly see the path ahead and seize the right opportunities.
"But what about Xujie, the half-crippled little master of the world? Has he also seized his opportunity?" Li Xuan wondered, a strange expression on his face.
Xujie was incredibly timid and was wholeheartedly devoted to Su Lingxiu's research. He was willing to endure excruciating pain in his divine soul, just to please Su Lingxiu and help her observe the changes in a divine soul under extreme agony...
"What a ruthless person!" Li Xuan exclaimed. It would be a shame if someone as ruthless as Xujie didn't seize the opportunities presented to them.
After all, being by Su Lingxiu's side was an opportunity in itself.
Su Lingxiu was destined to surpass Tai Cang, being the disciple of a Dao Ancestor like himself.
Xu Yan sat cross-legged on a cloud, carefully contemplating the cultivation method of the Creation and Transformation Realm. The more he pondered, the more he marveled at its profundity.
"Creating and transforming the world, interacting with the Grand Dao... It's too difficult," Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh.
Comprehending the Creation and Transformation Realm was not something that could be achieved overnight.
"The Dao Domain is the core and origin of the heavens and earth. I should go to the Dao Domain to observe the origin of Tai Cang's heavens and earth and how all living beings came to be," Xu Yan thought, forming a plan.
The Dao Domain was the origin before the great battle of the heavens and earth, before the realms were separated.
It was the very core of the heavens and earth.
"It's a good opportunity to visit the Dao Domain to better understand the Creation and Transformation Realm. Moreover, with the current upheaval in the heavens and earth, I might gain some insights during the process," Xu Yan decided, having returned from the clouds. He was now preparing to set off for the Dao Domain.
Just then, a message talisman delivered a message from the Sea Spirit Clan's Great Elder.
"A Godly Venerable is threatening the Sea Spirit Clan to obtain their treasure? Has he no shame?" Xu Yan's eyebrows furrowed as he read the distress call from the Great Elder.
He had taken a portion of the Sea Spirit Clan's treasure, and among those treasures was something this Godly Venerable desired.
Now, the Godly Venerable had sought out the Sea Spirit Clan for that very treasure.
When the Great Elder had mentioned this matter before, Xu Yan hadn't paid it much mind, so he had taken the treasure.
But now that the Great Elder was seeking his help, Xu Yan couldn't ignore the situation.
Moreover, he had given his word to the Great Elder before.
"This comes at a perfect time. After breaking through to the Heaven and Earth Realm, I can test my strength against this Godly Venerable. There were quite a few who came from the Dao Domain aiming for me. It's time to meet them," Xu Yan smiled.
He sent a message back to the Great Elder, asking him to stay calm and stall for time, assuring him that he would arrive soon.
In the Sea Spirit Clan's palace, within the Azure Sea Realm, a beautiful woman with a cold and proud demeanor glared at the Great Elder and the others, her eyes sharp with killing intent.
"Good. Very good. So, your Sea Spirit Clan never took my words to heart and dared to give away your treasure?" she said, her voice icy.
The Great Elder and the others paled in fear.
The Sea Spirit Clan, weakened to this state, no longer had any Godly Venerables, and they were utterly incapable of opposing the person before them.
Although the Sea Spirit Clan once belonged to the True Dragon bloodline, they had long since lost contact with the True Dragon Clan, and the connection between them had faded over time. Thus, they could not rely on the True Dragon Clan's influence to deter their opponent.
"Honored One, our clan has always kept the treasure safe. However, Xu Yan, the young master of the Xu family, resolved a crisis for our Sea Spirit Clan, and to express our gratitude, our clan promised to let him choose a treasure. Young Master Xu set his eyes on that treasure and took it away with him."
"This old man did remind Young Master Xu about it, but he said that he would handle the matter, so..."
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan explained with a respectful and fearful expression.
After receiving Xu Yan's reply, the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan did his best to appease the opponent and prevent her from destroying the Sea Spirit Clan in a fit of anger.
All he could do was buy time and wait for Xu Yan to arrive.
"Oh, Xu Yan? That dragon-taming youth?"
The cold and proud woman raised her eyebrows as she spoke.
"Yes, yes!"
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan hurriedly replied.
"Hmph, does he really think that taming a young dragon makes him invincible? How dare he take the treasure that belongs to this goddess? I won't let him off easily. Tell Xu Yan to come and meet me, or he will not only offend the True Dragon Clan but also incur the wrath of my Yun Luo Realm!"
The cold and proud woman said coldly.
"Honored One, we have already sent someone to notify Young Master Xu."
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"Very well, it seems your Sea Spirit Clan still knows what's good for you."
The cold and proud woman's expression eased slightly.
Hearing this, the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, they had bought some time and could wait for Xu Yan to arrive.
In the depths of the sea, somewhere in the Azure Sea Realm, Cang Hai Gui (Sea Turtle)
lifted its head slightly, its eyes showing a hint of helplessness. "Even a Godly Venerable has arrived, and perhaps a Supreme or even a Small World Master will show up soon. We must be careful not to expose ourselves, even to familiar faces, as it could easily lead to unwanted intentions.
"When will Xu Yan bring the Heavenly Dao Patterns to help me recover?"
Cang Hai Gui felt a sense of urgency as it currently lacked its full strength, and with the upheaval in the Great Tao Realm, a crisis could befall them at any moment.
"I guess I'll have to keep pretending to be dead until Xu Yan finds the Heavenly Dao Patterns."
Cang Hai Gui was utterly helpless and sank back into silence, becoming undetectable, as if it had no life force at all.
On Yun Tian Island, Xie Lingfeng emerged from his secluded cultivation, and he was now close to breaking through to the Void Breaking Realm.
"Father, we should return to the Green Lotus Realm," Xie Lingfeng said.
"Yes, it's time to go back," Xie Tianheng nodded in agreement.
With the turmoil in the Divine Realm and the great changes in the heavens and earth, the Azure Sea Realm was no longer safe.
Yun Tian Island was no longer suitable for secluded cultivation, and it was time to return to the Green Lotus Realm, meet old friends, and seek guidance from their predecessors.
"It's said that a Godly Venerable has descended upon the Sea Spirit Clan, seeking a certain treasure. The Sea Spirit Clan is facing the danger of annihilation," Fu Yun sighed.
"Brother Xu should be on his way to the Azure Sea Realm soon," Xie Lingfeng said, his eyebrows furrowed upon hearing the news.
Knowing the promise Xu Yan had made to the Sea Spirit Clan, Xie Lingfeng was certain that the clan would seek Xu Yan's help in this crisis.
Above the sea where the Sea Spirit Palace was located, Xu Yan's figure appeared, his gaze falling upon the Sea Spirit Clan's territory deep underwater. In an instant, he locked onto the Godly Venerable.
With a step, he entered the sea, and the water automatically parted, forming a path without water.
Xu Yan strode towards the Sea Spirit Palace.
"Not old, yet so arrogant," the cold and proud woman in the Sea Spirit Palace said, her eyes fixed on Xu Yan with a faint smile.
The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Yan had finally arrived, and since he dared to come, it meant that he was no longer afraid of a Godly Venerable.
The Great Elder was deeply shaken. In such a short time, Xu Yan's strength had improved significantly, and he no longer feared a Godly Venerable.
Xu Yan walked into the Sea Spirit Palace, his eyes sweeping over the Great Elder and the others, who did not seem to have suffered any torture or serious injuries.
"I, Xu Yan, took the treasure of the Sea Spirit Clan. You're too late," Xu Yan said calmly as he looked at the cold and proud woman.
"Xu Yan, the dragon-taming youth? Do you really think that by taming a young dragon, you can ignore the existence of a Godly Venerable?"
The cold and proud woman examined Xu Yan with her icy gaze, raising a delicate white hand. A chill emanated from her, and a powerful aura surged, fully displaying the might of a Godly Venerable.
Kacha!
The Sea Spirit Palace emitted a creaking sound as if it couldn't bear the pressure, and in the next moment, it would collapse. Moreover, the formidable might of the Godly Venerable was about to sweep through the area.
