CHAPTER 1656: CHAPTER 1624: YUAN ASCENDS TO HARMONIZATION

The dark clouds gathered, lightning and thunder roared.

The starry sky above Xianmen’s Mother Planet was boiling, bolts of lightning endlessly descended. Each lightning bolt was a combination of the rule net, triggering the power of rules across heaven and earth, a force far beyond that of a Refining Nothingness Cultivator, capable of wiping them out en masse.

In the ancient times of the Ancient Divine Domain, any Harmonization God Monarch could rule a domain.

And now, Xianmen is finally about to give birth to its own Harmonization cultivator.

Amidst the thunderbolts, Yuan’s aura began to change, with mana and Divine Soul swelling to the limit, suddenly leaping as if by quantum leap, the Divine Soul scattered in the world, no longer confined to the physical apertures, ubiquitous, existing in some form of immortality, the Law Body and Divine Soul underwent a qualitative transformation.

A streak of azure-purple lightning fell, spreading like a waterfall, revealing the Qingqu Taoist within.

Yuan had successfully completed the breakthrough from Refining Nothingness to Harmonization and had successfully withstood the first step of the Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation!

"The first step was not mistaken..."

Divine Machine True Venerable and other Xianmen’s Refining Nothingness Practitioners held their breath, striving to comprehend.

The Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation Yuan faced now would also be their tribulation in the future, and grasping more mysteries now would give them a better chance of overcoming it in the future.

This kind of observation of others undergoing tribulation was a significant opportunity for cultivators of the same stage.

"Refining Nothingness cultivators ascending to Harmonization often have three aspects to work on: mana, Divine Sense, and rules,"

The voice of the Great Sun Sword Master slowly came, entering the ears of every Refining Nothingness cultivator of Xianmen, beginning a detailed one-on-one explanation based on their individual situations.

"Mana, in the Elixir Field, with a specific Refining Void Crossing Tribulation Secret Method, utilizing the pressure of the Heavenly Tribulation to compress one’s mana, causing it to break through or approach the breakthrough limit."

"This aspect requires a very high degree of purity of the Refining Nothingness Cultivator’s mana. If the purity does not meet the mark, it is impossible to break through, even at the Peak of Void Refinement.

If the talent and intellect of the cultivator are insufficient, the alternative method is to rely on talismans, elixirs, or special cultivation secret realms. These can be obtained within Xianmen by exchanging battle merits, and new supplementary breakthrough methods are being developed."

"...These aids are essentially alternative paths. Even if the Harmonization breakthrough is accomplished, cultivation in the Harmonization Stage will often be very difficult, requiring external assistance like elixirs to advance. The probability of breaking through to Heavenly Man is almost zero. It’s not the Righteous Dao, just a last resort."

"Everyone should usually pay extra attention to the cultivation of their foundation and heritage..."

"Secondly, there is Divine Sense..."

"Thirdly, there is the rule. The line-like rules in the rule space need to split into a net. This step is extremely difficult, and Xianmen currently has no external force to assist. One can only continuously participate in advanced research experiments or use instruments to observe the rule net in nature, understanding how one’s rule splits into a net through various means.

Your rule is the Flame Rule. You should pay attention to observing various flames in heaven and earth, the fire of wood, the fire of meteors, the fire in water, and so on, observing the deeper rule forms of these fires..."

Jiang Ding’s voice entered the ears of a Refining Nothingness cultivator practicing the Fire Dao Rules, also into the ears of other Refining Nothingness cultivators, with everyone hearing completely different things.

His understanding of various heaven and earth rules reached an extremely terrifying level. Not only for the six path rules of the sun, but he also casually mastered rules such as those of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Space, and Cause and Effect, making clear and easy explanations that often enabled Refining Nothingness cultivators of Xianmen to gain insight.

In fact, this was not the result of accidental opportunity.

In many years past, the Great Sun Sword Master frequently discussed the Dao with countless Refining Nothingness cultivators of Xianmen. These explanations have been made countless times.

Today is just more insightful for Xianmen’s Refining Nothingness cultivators due to the ready example set by Yuan.

This rare opportunity for external Refining Nothingness cultivators is standard for Xianmen Refining Nothingness cultivators.

This is one of the most important reasons the foundation and heritage of Xianmen Refining Nothingness cultivators generally surpass those of other sects. Another advantage is the deep involvement in various research projects of Xianmen, integrating production and learning, unity of knowledge and action, thus bringing about the emergence of Xianmen elites.

"Oh?"

"Quite bold."

Suddenly, the Great Sun Sword Master’s voice paused, looking toward the distance, focusing on the edge of the Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation.

An invisible and cold terrifying pressure instantly sent a chill to all Xianmen strong individuals, awakening them from Zhao Dao, instinctively activating their army formation cooperation.

The layered army formation runes flickered, with countless warships bursting into array patterns, guarding the center, the sun, collectively forming a terrifying formation that imposed awe over the solar system.

Heavy pressure fell on a corner at the edge of the Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation, making it solid as divine iron, where Divine Soul, matter, energy, cause and effect, space... all existed, froze in place.

The invisible fog of reincarnation dispersed, revealing a hideous monster insect within.

It had the old head of an elder, but below the neck, it was a continuously wriggling maggot-like creature, its body vague and dreamlike. Even the Quasi Eighth-order Spirit Particle Sonar of Xianmen could not detect it in the first instance, and it nearly drilled into the Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation.

The Great Sun Sword Master’s Sword Soul alerted them, thus pulling it out.

"Ancient God’s Son..."

Jiang Ding displayed a contemplative look in his eyes.

He recalled the remnant Heavenly Man soul he had slain during his journey to the Ancient God Dao Zangtian Pavilion back then, which attempted to seize but was defeated, from which he obtained a small part of the memory.

In the memories, the Ancient God Ancestor Master encountered a fortuitous event with an ancient god’s arm descending before him during the Nascent Soul Stage. This was the second great opportunity gained by the Ancient God Ancestor Master, a key element in his rise.

But towards the end of his life, it seemed that the Ancient God Ancestor Master was about to be seized by the life born within the ancient god’s arm or that the Ancient God Ancestor Master deliberately intended to seize life within the ancient god’s arm, unclear.

The secrets of this were unknown, long buried by time.

The only known fact is that the demise of the Ancient God Dao was related to life born within the ancient god’s arm, and the slumber of the Ancient God Ancestor Master was related to this as well.

Now, a life form similar to the Ancient God’s Son appeared, yet markedly different.

What does this signify?

Does it mean the Ancient God Ancestor Master is beginning to gain an upper hand in the contest?

Jiang Ding could not discern all of this.

Clang!

Within the brilliance of the solar system, a radiant existence unsheathed a sword within the army formation of the Immortal Sect Central Army Group Fleet.

The terrifying Sword Intent enveloped heaven and earth, star river, a single stroke likened to a golden thread of the leaping sun, flashing across the solar system, penetrating three stretches of the starry sky, then returning the sword into the scabbard.

Heaven and Earth star river plunged into stagnation.

Moments later, the star river resumed its operation.

People held their breath, looking toward the starry sky.

At the edge of the Harmonization Heavenly Tribulation, the grotesque old man’s head, the Ancient God’s Son, struggled and became motionless, a golden slit slicing it open from the center.

Not just here.

On Mars, within Jupiter, regardless if hidden deep under the sea or within the earth’s core, two misshaped Ancient God’s Sons similarly were sliced in two by a sword, losing vitality.

They were sealed by layers of Solar Rule Law Net, preserved as specimens for later study.
