“Hahaha, let me see my grandson…”

A deep, powerful voice startled Jiang Xuan awake. Opening his eyes, he saw a burly man, seemingly one with the world, standing there as if he were facing the heavens themselves.

“Grandfather? Have I returned to the moment I was born?”

Jiang Xuan wondered how this inner demon would treat him.

Days passed, and Jiang Xuan's childhood was peaceful. As the direct grandson of a Celestial Immortal, no misfortune could befall him. The only difference was that, upon entering the inner demon world, he seemed to have forgotten something.

He couldn't recall what he'd forgotten. Although his memories were complete, he still felt that something crucial was missing.

However, guided by the inner demon, he still cultivated. Restarting his cultivation with memories, his talent was astonishing. By the age of ten, he had become a Yuanshen Daoist, his battle strength comparable to scattered immortals who had cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years.

His talent amazed the entire Tianyu Great World, and he was directly accepted as a disciple by Dao Ancestor Shennong. Jiang Xuan didn't refuse, and he entered the Shennong Dojo to cultivate once more. Time passed, and ten years flew by in the blink of an eye.

At twenty years old, Jiang Xuan was radiant and spirited, like an unmatched celestial being with limitless potential. By now, he was a Reversion to Void Divine Devil, his battle strength comparable to top Celestial Immortals. He was a renowned prodigy in the Shennong Domain.

He traveled through the Three Realms, making many friends, even becoming Daoist companions with Immortal Qingfan and Immortal Youzhu. However, his state of mind remained extraordinary. No matter what joyous emotions washed over him, he remained his own master, constantly reminding himself… that everything was an illusion within the inner demon world, not reality.

Time slowly flowed, and he grew stronger. By the age of fifty, he was recognized as the number one person below the Celestial Immortals in the Three Realms. No one at the Reversion to Void level in the vast Three Realms could contend with him!

He then chose to undergo tribulation. The powerful Heavenly Tribulation couldn't stop him; he passed through it and became the youngest Celestial God in the Three Realms, his strength terrifying and awe-inspiring.

The War King Manor also grew stronger. Jiang Xuan accompanied his many family members. He grew stronger, but he still hadn't found a way to break the inner demon tribulation.

Besides, Immortal Youzhu had also successfully undergone tribulation and become a Celestial Immortal. Jiang Xuan lived with her and Immortal Qingfan, enjoying a life envied by countless immortals and gods in the Three Realms. It was an extremely happy time.

However, at this time, the war between the Three Realms and the Seamless Gate still broke out. As a member of the Tianyu royal family, Jiang Xuan went to the front lines. He had countless Celestial Immortals under his command, and he thwarted the Seamless Gate's schemes time and time again.

“War King, fallen in the realm war…”

Hundreds of years later, bad news arrived. The War King had died in battle, his true spirit destroyed, and even Dao Ancestors couldn't save him.

Even though he knew it was fake, Jiang Xuan's heart still clenched. How could he forget so many years of affection?

He was silent, his mind full of thoughts. It was as if a piece was missing from his heart. He had been searching for it and therefore rejecting everything in this world, but the emotions of so many years couldn't be faked. The War King, who had loved and cared for him, had died at this moment, and he began to question the reality of this world.

However, this bad news was only the beginning. Hundreds of years passed, and his parents died at the hands of the Seamless Gate. Their true spirits were even used by the Seamless Gate to threaten him. For the sake of the overall situation in the Three Realms, he could only painfully watch as his parents' true spirits were killed by the Seamless Gate's experts.

He told himself again and again that it was an inner demon, that it was all fake, but in the end, he couldn't be ruthless. He was being consumed bit by bit. Even with his detached state of mind, he could only desperately search for a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, the goddess of fortune didn't favor him. Immortal Qingfan and Immortal Youzhu also died one after another. His family and lovers left him one after another. He seemed to be the most unfortunate person in the world, gaining power but losing everything.

It was from that day on that the Three Realms gained a cold-blooded killing god and lost an unparalleled genius. His depravity went even further. He thought about escaping all of this, but he was falling into the abyss step by step.

“Is he really going to fall?”

He didn't know how many years had passed. In a great world, Jiang Xuan had just destroyed a Seamless Gate stronghold, but he felt his Dao heart constantly blurring, clearly being eroded.

Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth, blood flowing from all seven orifices, and still he voiced, “It’s fake, it’s all fake!!!”

The world didn't respond to him. His Dao heart continued to sink into endless slaughter. He had originally been covered in a layer of faint golden light of merit, but now, there was only endless karmic fire.

He had slaughtered too many living beings. Any forces related to the Seamless Gate, whether immortal or mortal, were left with nothing. His hands were already stained red with blood, and his Dao heart was soaked in an endless sea of blood.

“He has fallen!”

On the side of the Three Realms, Dao Ancestor Shennong looked at Jiang Xuan with regret. His former disciple, whom he valued, had now fallen into endless slaughter. He could only lament.

“I want to change all of this, to let them live well in reality!”

However, just as Jiang Xuan's Dao heart was being eroded bit by bit, the deepest voice in his heart began to sound. It was his most steadfast voice, his most persistent cry.

At this moment, his Dao heart was like a small grass, bound by countless chains, but this small grass was struggling desperately, growing desperately, letting itself be entangled and dragged, but it was still growing.

“I seek eternity, and I seek transcendence. Whether it is fate or karma, it should all be under my control!”

He didn't know how many years had passed. Jiang Xuan's Dao heart began to condense again. The tender little grass began to climb, wanting to transform into a towering tree.

“My Dao heart is ruled by me, all illusions, dissipate!”

After a long time, a loud shout rang in Jiang Xuan's heart. At the same time, segments of memories flooded into his mind.

Chaotic space, Jiang Xuan from other worlds, and many divine abilities and secret techniques were all recalled by him at this moment.

*Bang!*

When Jiang Xuan opened his eyes again, the surrounding world was completely shattered. Everything was shattered, even the Dao Ancestors who stood outside the Three Realms, overlooking all living beings, were now shattered.

“In the end, it was just an illusion!”

Jiang Xuan's eyes shone with light, like a torch illuminating the fog, seeing through the inner demon world. Everything around him could no longer affect him. My heart is the heart of heaven, my will is the will of heaven.

At this moment, he was the master of himself, his Dao heart indestructible, and it was difficult for external things to interfere with his state of mind.

“That was really dangerous. Fortunately, my heart force manifested at the last moment, dispelling the confusion.” Jiang Xuan looked at the gradually shattering inner demon world and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had shared his memories before and had a deep understanding, and his state of mind had reached an extremely powerful level. Otherwise, whether he could persist until his heart force first appeared was still unknown.

However, he didn't expect that his heart force would reach the realm of dominance as soon as it manifested. At this moment, his Dao heart only had one master, and that was himself. This was an extremely detached realm for looking at all things.

Reaching this level, there was no need to deliberately suppress any emotions. Even his Dao heart wouldn't have the slightest resistance to all things. Letting all emotions surge, it was like Dayu controlling the flood, letting the seawater and river water surge, but everything was under his control.

……

“It’s been almost three months.”

Dao Ancestor Bodhi thought to himself while looking at Jiang Xuan's true body beside him. One month in reality was equivalent to tens of thousands of years in the inner demon world. Few people could persist for thirty thousand years. For such a long time, the possibility of getting lost was very high.

Suddenly—

His and Jiang Xuan's true body's gazes were focused on the second primordial spirit. They saw the second primordial spirit open its eyes. At the same time, a segment of memory also merged into Jiang Xuan's true body's mind. It was everything in the inner demon world, previously isolated by the inner demon tribulation, but now it had finally merged after passing it.

His state of mind had also completely transformed. The heart force of the true body had manifested, and the insights of the realm of dominance surged into his heart. At this moment, he had completely become the master of himself.

However, Jiang Xuan's true body's expression was a bit strange. Immortal Qingfan and Immortal Youzhu had actually become his Daoist companions in the inner demon world? Immortal Youzhu was fine, after all, she couldn't beat him, but if Immortal Qingfan found out, how long would he be tortured?

After thinking about it, he felt that this was his second primordial spirit's own inner demon, and had nothing to do with him. He must never say it in the future!

“Disciple, is this… heart force?”

Dao Ancestor Bodhi naturally sensed the change in Jiang Xuan, which was a transformation from the inside out, a promotion in state of mind. Ordinary people would naturally find it difficult to detect, but Dao Ancestor Bodhi was also not weak in heart force. Jiang Xuan's change could not escape his eyes.

“Yes, Master,” Jiang Xuan replied.

“No wonder. A three-month inner demon tribulation is also rare, but with your heart force manifested, it's not surprising that you can transcend it.” Dao Ancestor Bodhi stroked his beard and smiled, obviously very satisfied with this.

However, what they were really concerned about now was the second primordial spirit. At this moment, the Celestial Immortal Tribulation had ended.

In the void, celestial music sounded, auspicious clouds descended from the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, a terrifying pressure descended, and surging power of heaven and earth gathered, gathering in Jiang Xuan's body, and the world spontaneously began to change the second primordial spirit.

Jiang Xuan's second primordial spirit could clearly feel that under the assistance of the Heavenly Dao in the outside world, all the power in his body began to gather, and the divine soul also completely merged with the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit, and even the entire Purple Mansion space began to merge with the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit, and even the innate spiritual pearl began to merge.

“Now!”

The second primordial spirit shouted lightly in his heart, and at the same time took out the ten Heavenly Dao wonders that Dao Ancestor Bodhi had prepared for him:

Chaotic Earth, Seed of Life, Flower of Destruction, Taiyin Mysterious Water, Sun Golden Flame, Five Elements Wonders, one kind of wonder after another hung down the Heavenly Dao aura, even if they were extremely rare, presenting little starlight, but they were constantly heading towards the Golden Lotus Primordial Spirit in his body.

*Pa!*

At the same time, a golden lotus seed was conceived on the lotus seedpod of that golden lotus, which was also the most important golden elixir for Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, and even Ancestral Immortals!

However, now this golden elixir was enveloped and wrapped by the auras of ten kinds of Heavenly Dao, and one kind of power after another was integrated into it. The aura of the Chaos Heavenly Dao carried everything, and the power of the Heavenly Dao was in harmony with it. The golden elixir was originally shining brightly, full of vitality, sacred and brilliant, but now it began to be destroyed, and it was about to re-evolve into chaos.

The second primordial spirit’s body could no longer maintain its form, and it all collapsed. All that was left was the gradually merging original innate spiritual pearl.

However, Jiang Xuan had already experienced the process of opening up the world once, even in different worlds, but the insights were the same, not to mention that Dao Ancestor Bodhi had also found wonders containing the Dao rhythm of the Heavenly Dao for him, each of which was comparable to an innate spiritual treasure. Even if they were rare, it could make it easier for him to open up the golden elixir world.

“Condense!”

Jiang Xuan began to condense chaos with the power of the Dao of Time and Space, taking the power of the ten Heavenly Daos as the core, wanting to open up the heavens and the earth.

The methods of opening up the inner world are different in detail in each world, because the rules of heaven and earth in each world are different. Relatively speaking, the Perfect World is more difficult, while in the Desolate World, the inside of the golden elixir is originally a vast space, and it can originally evolve towards the chaotic world, so it is easier to open up.

Of course, this simplicity is relative to the two worlds. If it is just in the Desolate World, it is extremely crazy to break the golden elixir and re-evolve into chaos at the Celestial Immortal level. Perhaps some great power has created this method in the endless chaos, but it is definitely not something that Jiang Xuan can come into contact with now.

Time passed day by day, and the chaos in Jiang Xuan's body gradually changed. It was condensed by the Dao of Time and Space, and the whole was like a seed, just like the previous golden elixir, but if you look closely, you will find that it is clearly a piece of chaos, in which a world is evolving, becoming more and more vast.

And as that world became more and more vast, the Purple Mansion space, the innate spiritual pearl, and everything else completely disappeared. Jiang Xuan's body also condensed again, but it was completely transformed, becoming a true Celestial Immortal body, a body composed of Celestial Immortal magic power and the rules of heaven and earth!

At this moment, his body is no longer transformed from the innate spiritual pearl, but a true Celestial Immortal body. It will no longer be limited by the level of treasures in the future, and its potential will be unlimited, and it can continue to grow.

In the blink of an eye, a long time passed again, and that piece of chaos seemed to have turned into a chaotic-colored sun, or it could be called a chaotic golden elixir. At this time, it was breathing out chaotic energy, and inside it was a world, which was now comparable to a small chiliocosm.

“It’s at its limit for the time being.”

The second primordial spirit sensed his own power. Before the tribulation, he could be compared with ordinary Celestial Immortals, but now that the tribulation was successful, after opening up the golden elixir world, he only felt his power increased countless times. Even if he had not tried it, he was confident that he could easily obliterate other Celestial Immortals.

With one step, he also came to the front of the true body and Dao Ancestor Bodhi.

“Master.” The second primordial spirit bowed.

Dao Ancestor Bodhi also looked at him, his eyes burning, with mysterious brilliance flowing. After a long time, he stroked his beard and smiled: “Not bad, although it has not yet reached the strength of a Heavenly God True Immortal, it has also reached the threshold.”

“The threshold of a Heavenly God True Immortal?”

Jiang Xuan and the second primordial spirit thought at the same time, which meant that he was now a second-rate Celestial Immortal, but the golden elixir world in his body was still growing. Perhaps when that world transformed to the level of a great chiliocosm, he would also become a first-rate Celestial Immortal.

Moreover, this is still the normal situation. He felt that if he could transform the golden elixir world to be comparable to a world before he realized the Great Dao, even if he was just a Celestial Immortal, he might not be weaker than a True God Dao Ancestor.

“Even if the realm does not break through, it can continue to become stronger… I am really looking forward to it.” Jiang Xuan smiled. This attempt was finally successful, so he can also start preparing for the true body to undergo the tribulation. After that, it is time to really implement the plan.
