A year passed by in the blink of an eye. One day, Lin Xun awoke from his meditation and frowned slightly.

As early as half a year ago, his refinement of the Nirvana law had reached ninety percent. However, there had been zero progress for the following six months! No matter how much effort he put in, the remaining ten percent of the core power simply refused to budge in the slightest.

"This seems to be a bottleneck which can’t be resolved through time and effort..." Lin Xun deduced. "Wushuang."

With a thought, Wushuang appeared out of thin air. "What instructions do you have, Master?"

When he brought the entire Luo Clan back from the Sixth Heaven Domain, Wushuang naturally returned to him. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He asked, "In your opinion, how powerful is my current Immortal law?"

Wushuang was the law spirit of the heavenly dao law of the previous era who had survived the epochal calamity and possessed inconceivable abilities. According to her, the might she wielded at her peak was not the least bit inferior to that of a Divine Rank law.

The profound mysteries contained in the Divine Rank laws were related to the eternal dao, and the law power they wielded was no different from the power of principles. In other words, the power Wushuang wielded at her peak was no different from the principle power of the heavenly dao.

Wushuang's tinkling voice sounded, "Master's Immortal law is not inferior to a Divine Rank law. In fact, it's probably stronger than most Divine Rank laws. However, Master's Immortal law is ultimately still the power of law and not the true eternal dao."

She paused for a moment before she thoughtfully said, "In my opinion, this is due to the limitations of Master's cultivation. If Master certifies the eternal dao, your Immortal law will inevitably transform into an unbelievable Eternal law; and the eternal law is, after all, no different from the heavenly principle."

Lin Xun nodded. “It seems that my deduction is correct. No matter how heaven-defying my Immortal Law is, it is ultimately a power which belongs to the immortal path, and is bound by my cultivation realm. Hence, it is impossible for it to achieve metamorphosis.”

He now fully understood. The remaining one-tenth of the Nirvana law core power could not be refined at his current cultivation level, but he would gain the qualification to completely refine it after he certified eternity.

“Master, your Immortal law has already become a taboo which surpasses even Divine Rank laws. In other words, your current cultivation can contend against the power of the heavenly principles.” Wushuang's melodious voice sounded especially pleasing to the ear.

Lin Xun smiled and said, “What’s with the flattery? Are you eyeing the law powers in my possession again?”

Wushuang revealed a hint of embarrassment on her innocent-looking face as she replied, “Master, Shuang'er is only one step away from recovering my peak...”

Before she could finish, he tossed out five ninth grade Heaven Rank laws. “Take them.”

Wushuang's beautiful eyes sparkled with joy. Clearly in high spirits, she said, “Thank you, Master. I knew Master dotes on Shuang’er the most.”

Lin Xun chuckled. Although he knew that she was supposed to be an entity without emotions or true intelligence, and her actions and expressions were merely manifested from her law power, she didn’t appear the least bit artificial, instead appearing very natural and full of the spark unique to life.

After putting Wushuang away, Lin Xun fell into deep thought. While his stock of law powers was still plenty at the moment, the only rare ninth grade Heaven Rank law left was the pair of violet and green gourds.

In addition, there were Wushuang, Little Nether, Little Immortal, and the Divine Rank law, Absolute Beginning. Among them, the Absolute Beginning law had been subdued in the Ten Directions Demon Domain and contained the most primordial eternal dao.

According to Wushuang, the Absolute Beginning law was newborn back then and was like a blank sheet of paper with infinite potential. Over the years, it had been nurtured by Nirvana law, and viewed the Nirvana law as its mother’s body. As such, it had undergone continuous Nirvana and reconstruction over the years.

However, even Lin Xun himself didn’t know what it would ultimately transform into. The only thing he knew was that the power of the Nirvana law could make Divine Rank laws be reborn and reforged!

The Divine Rank Absolute Beginning law currently being nourished by his Immortal law was an excellent example of this.

When Lin Xun certified eternity, he would be able to refine it to create his own Eternal law. Of course, he could also use the Divine Rank law to establish an Eternal-tier faction in the future.

After a long time, he awoke from his thoughts.

"It's time to return to the Ancient Nebula Road..."

He rose to his feet and left the cave dwelling.

Some moments later, in the main hall, Lin Xun met with Origin Sky Pavilion Master Xuan Feiling and Origin Emptiness Pavilion Master Dugu Yong to inform them about his decision to head to the Ancient Nebula Road.

Both of them naturally nodded to give their approval. After all, unless the true body of an Eternal Stage expert took action, there was probably no one in this world who could rival the present Lin Xun.

Moreover, the Ancient Nebula Road was merely one of the Great Thousand Worlds, which had long since fallen into decline. After countless years, it had almost been forgotten in the Eternal True Realm.

How could there be anyone who could possibly threaten Lin Xun there?

"Although the Ancient Nebula Road has been in decline for a long time, it’s still home to the Return Dominion, while also adjacent to the Kunlun Dominion. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that it’s a location blessed with unparalleled advantages."

As someone from the Xuan Clan, Xuan Feiling naturally knew the Ancient Nebula Road’s situation like the back of his hand. "Although the Kunlun Dominion used to be a land of great opportunity, most of them have long been taken, and it has now become a place of refuge from the epochal change. Only Eternal Stage ancients are qualified to contend for a spot within, making it far too dangerous.

"The Return Dominion is the original ancestral home of your Fangchun Mountain Sect, and it is also said to be the origin of the great dao. If traced back to the source, the Eternal True Realm also seems to have some connection with the Return Dominion.

"However, the source power of the Return Dominion dried up long ago. Otherwise, the Fangchun Mountain Sect would not have been destroyed so easily."

Lin Xun remembered the Fangchun Ruins he had seen in the Return Dominion, and he couldn't help but sigh.

He asked, "Does Elder also know what happened back then?"

Xuan Feiling answered, "Of course, but the destruction of Fangchun Mountain Sect had nothing to do with how strong or weak the enemy was. At the very beginning of the primeval era, the Master of Fangchun Mountain realized that the Return Dominion's source power was drying up, so he moved the sect to the Kunlun Dominion."

"No wonder."

Lin Xun nodded in understanding. He had known long ago that the forces which destroyed the Fangchun Mountain Sect were from the Great Six Courts of the Ancient Nebula Road. However, he now knew that the sect they destroyed was merely an empty shell, and anyone could have done it.

Xuan Feiling suddenly said, "By the way, take my great-grandson with you when you leave this time."

Lin Xun asked, "Does Elder also plan to bring all your clansmen to the Origin World?"

Xuan Feiling nodded. "Yes. I had planned to go to the Ancient Nebula Road in a few years, but you going there on my behalf will save me the trip."

Lin Xun readily agreed. After bidding farewell to Xuan Feiling and Dugu Yong, he went to find Xuan Jiuyin and Jintian Xuanyue.

Origin Sky Pavilion, Wild Cloud Abode.

At the sight of Lin Xun, Xuan Jiuyin grinned and said, "I was wondering who it was, turns out it's the famous Origin Clarity Pavilion Master, Lord Lin."

Lin Xun slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Why aren’t you paying your respects to the pavilion master?"

Xuan Jiuying grimaced in pain and quickly begged for forgiveness.

Lin Xun couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Go make preparations, you’re following me back to the Ancient Nebula Road."

"I'm going too." Jintian Xuanyue chimed in from nearby.

"Of course, I won't be leaving you behind." Lin Xun smiled as he turned to Jintian Xuanyue.

Her white clothes fluttered gently, bounded by the golden belt around her waist. She was as beautiful as a painting and gave off the aura of an ice beauty. It seemed that she had become even more beautiful than before.

Both of them had successfully stepped onto the immortal path more than a decade ago and were currently at the Heavenly Longevity Stage. Although it wasn’t fast compared to Lin Xun, their progress was rapid compared to most people.

Soon after, Lin Xun led Xuan Jiuyin and Jintian Xuanyue back to his cave dwelling.

"Xia Zhi, we’re going."

Xia Zhi was eating melon seeds at the moment. She softly grunted in acknowledgement, got up and said, "Go then."

There was no hesitation at all, as if they were merely going out for a stroll. Lin Xun left his five dao bodies behind so they could oversee and resolve various matters in the Origin Sect.

He also left the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron behind and tasked the Red Flame Dao Body, Green Wood Dao Body, and White Metal Dao Body to refine it together.

With the divine materials collected from the Ten Immortal Giants, the power of the cauldron could be enhanced substantially. In short, he was going to make full use of every second he had.

That same day, Lin Xun, Xia Zhi, Xuan Jiuyin, and Jintian Xuanyue left the Origin World together.

......

Whoosh!

In the starry expanse beyond the sky, a small boat carrying Lin Xun and his companions shuttled past at high speed. It crossed an immense distance in a flash as if it were a spacecraft, making the passengers within feel as if the stars were shifting.

A few hours later, a giant golden portal spanning several thousand meters appeared in the distance like a golden bridge arcing across the void. It was one of the portals linking the Eternal True Realm to the forty-ninth Immortal Heavenly Pass, Chaotian City.

When the small boat passed through the golden portal, the scenery before them changed, and the group found themselves in Chaotian City.

Chaotian City!

As the last checkpoint of the Great Thousand Battle Domain, Chaotian City was known as one of the hubs connected to the Eternal True Realm.

Numerous factions from the Eternal True Realm had settled in this city over countless years, creating various merchant groups to purchase treasures which could only be found in the Great Thousand Battle Domain.

After all, treasures such as the Yellow Spring Beads and Dao Accumulations Pearl were extremely sought-after cultivation resources in the Eternal True Realm. In addition, many Immortal Imperial Clans had specially established themselves in Chaotian City with the goal of recruiting talents as soon as they appeared!

Of note, anyone who entered the Great Thousand Battle Domain must experience plenty of bloodshed and battle to reach the forty-ninth Immortal Heavenly Pass. Hence, anyone who could reach this place was a formidable expert in their own right.

Years ago, Lin Xun had fought his way here all the way from the first Immortal Heavenly Pass. When he first arrived, he had been at the Supreme Emperor Stage. Now, when he finally returned, he was at the perfect Transcendence Stage!

Upon arriving at the city, Lin Xun couldn't help but recall many past memories. He put away the boat and asked, "Everyone, shall we take a walk around the city?"
