This world seems even clearer now.

It's somewhat different from before. Once, he saw mountains as mountains and water as water.

But now, he sees mountains as not just mountains, and water as not just water.

It seems as though the world's most fundamental secrets have opened up to him.

What is the world's most fundamental structure? Once, Chen Yuan had some doubts, but now, he understands a phrase that Moluo once told him.

All things in this world are composed of various rules.

Once, he understood this vaguely; now, as it opens so clearly towards him, he comprehends some of it.

The Amber Divine Pearl, as large as a disk above his head, has now shrunk by more than half, only the size of a palm. It's foreseeable that it will soon be completely consumed.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy rapidly begins to gather on its own, the scene growing larger, like dark clouds covering the top, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

Moluo, observing from afar, slowly let out a breath. Until now, he could truly relax; before, Chen Yuan appeared completely devoid of any vitality, like a dead thing.

Though he knew this was a necessary path for comprehending the rules, completely emptying the Spirit, he still worried that Chen Yuan might fail in the process.

Failure is not terrifying; failing to comprehend the rules is common. Even he, in the past, has failed many times while attempting to understand the rules.

And it does not cause too much damage, it would only weaken the Primordial Spirit for a period, but it can recover later. What he worries about is that Chen Yuan has always been undefeated, progressing swiftly in cultivation. If faced with setbacks, it might affect his Spirit for a time.

Plus, the current situation is rather tense.

The Savior Bodhisattva, although having planned in the Western Regions for many years, compared to Spirit Mountain, is still like a Great Witch meeting a Great Witch. Now, to gain time for Chen Yuan, he risks falling, still trying to delay Spirit Mountain, and they must set the affairs in the Central Plains as fast as possible. Not saying they must entirely occupy the Thirteen States, but they must hold an absolute advantage.

In other words, the time left for them is not much.

Chen Yuan's breakthrough could bring greater hope for their future, yet the longer the delay, the less favorable it becomes. He understands that Chen Yuan must be aware of this situation, which is why, upon returning from the Western Regions, he abandons everything to improve his own cultivation.

He can mobilize Great Yan Qi Fortune and Power of All Living Beings, greatly enhancing strength, but ultimately those are external forces, and external forces carry the risk of being broken.

Only one's own strength is most trustworthy.

Back in the day, Chu Grand Ancestor was unbeatable across the Human World, indeed partially due to national fortune, but essentially, his personal strength was very powerful.

Embellishing fine works is good; to rely on it as one's own strength would result in a very miserable death.

Primordial Energy like wind, accompanying his body.

Chen Yuan clearly feels himself more integrated with the Heaven and Earth, as though able to completely merge into it, like Unity. He extends a finger, lightly touching the void.

The surrounding hundred-zhang void instantly distorts, threads of rules swirl around in the palm, as more and more rules encircle him, a shocking aura breaks out entirely!

...

Southern Border, Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

For hundreds of miles around not a soul; extremely silent, even the void suffused with dense Evil Qi, this place was once a major battleground where the Human Race fought demons hundreds of years ago.

Tens of thousands from both Humans and Demons died, blood and flesh seeped into the earth. Through centuries of change, it became a dangerous place within the Southern Border, even demons are unwilling to come here.

For fear of Evil Qi entangling the body, infiltrating the flesh.

But now, it seems different. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy continually gathers from afar to this place, Evil Qi condenses into substance, like a towering beacon, and at the center of the Evil Qi black column, a figure whirls conspicuously.

The figure, with long hair and yellow robe, adorned with a vivid giant python on the attire. Yet, different from ordinary, the python robe bears four claws, has whiskers under its jaw, imposing.

And of course, his identity reveals itself, the former Chu Crown Prince, Xiang Family residual clan leader, Chen Yuan's father, Xiang Qianqiu!

He gazes at the rolling Evil Qi beacon, his eyes deep, thoughts innumerable.

Having decided to break through the Six Realms, stepping into the Immortal Realm, he did not hesitate anymore; such hesitation is only girlishness. For a hero figure like him, once decided, it must be done.

All loss, all failure, has become the past.

Therefore, he came here, a long-prepared breakthrough place.

He favors having numerous preparations, originally the first was to devour Chen Yuan's Essence Blood to break shackles, elevate the flesh to a level comparable to Demon God, then proceed with the breakthrough.

And it was his scheme over the years....

For Demon Gods, breaking through Six Realms 'Blood Rebirth' presents no significant shackles, though difficult, each generation has strong ones able to break through, cultivating internal Heaven.

But for the Human Race, it's different, demons unsuitable for Primordial Spirit Dao, Spirit weak, unable to condense Primordial Spirit; historically, no demon strong has broken this shackle.

Though in terms of flesh, they hold inherent advantage, thousands of years ago, demons relied on powerful flesh, becoming rulers of the Human World, known as gods and demons.
