Chapter 653: Chapter 653 – Natural Creation and Transformation
Chen Heng settled down in the Immortal Sect and absorbed the immortal light from all directions to strengthen himself. It was a very slow process. Although immortal light was abundant everywhere, it was very difficult to capture it and required a lot of patience.
However, every time he captured a beam of immortal light, Chen Heng’s body became more extraordinary. He was tainted with a trace of the aura of the Immortal Sect and seemed to become even more extraordinary.
The patterns on the sword’s body were faintly discernible. At this moment, it seemed to be coming to life and showing its vastness. That aura was like a new time, immeasurable and unimaginable.
Clang!
The ancient sword flowed through the Immortal Sect and collided with other objects like a collision between metals. The collision between the two was shocking. It sounded very loud.
“Oh?”
Chen Heng woke up from his Dao enlightenment and looked forward in surprise. He had no idea how many years had passed since entering the Immortal Sect.
Time passed by slowly. Immortal Light was captured by him one after another, but he was still there, still in the process of metamorphosis. The Immortal Sect had never been empty in the past, and nothing was touched. So what did he encounter this time? Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind as he slowly raised his head.
What he saw was an object that looked like a jade seal. It quietly settled within the Immortal Light. It was very ordinary and looked like it was carved out of ordinary jade, but it was somewhat incomplete. Nevertheless, he could vaguely see the word ‘immortal’ through the intact parts.
‘Immortal?’ Chen Heng frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.
He did not treat it as an ordinary weapon because it was impossible in the Immortal Sect.
In the Immortal Sect, immortal light circulated in all directions. Even divine gold and divine iron would quickly smile in this place and be disintegrated into a pile of primitive runes, not to mention such a jade seal.
Moreover, Chen Heng’s material was also unparalleled in the world. If that jade seal were an ordinary object, it would be destroyed the moment it was hit and wouldn’t exist anymore. So this most likely had an unfathomable origin.
Chen Heng kept it and prepared to use it for study when he left in the future. A thing that could appear in this Immortal Sect was not an ordinary thing. Therefore, it was worth spending some time studying it.
Then, he moved forward and searched around. This was a subconscious action. Chen Heng searched for traces of Dao Principles ever since he entered the Immortal Gate. He had also been searching for the woman, Yiu Ruo, who had disappeared after entering the Immortal Sect. However, he did not find anything in the end.
None of them had ever appeared here, whether the woman, Yiu Ruo, who had entered the Immortal Sect or anything else. This place was simply too big. The internal space was like a world that had opened up. It was vast and infinite, and it devoured the sky.
In the Immortan Sect, all of Chen Heng’s methods were suppressed. He could only rely on himself to fumble around, and the process was too difficult. He still couldn’t find anything even after spending so much time.
Chen Heng suspected that this Immortal Sect space required flesh and blood to cross over truly. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to encounter such a huge obstacle, forcefully staying here for so many years.
This applied to him. They would have been exhausted and died here long ago if it were anyone else. This was because this place did not have any Gen Qi to replenish, and all of their various divine abilities would have been suppressed.
“After the immortal light enlightenment, I will transform myself and comprehend a strand of the profound meaning of the Immortal Sect. Then, perhaps I can get out?”
Chen Heng continued his Dao enlightenment. He was comprehending the immortal light here in an attempt to comprehend a trace of the profound meaning of the Immortal Sect.
He believed that the Immortal Sect might have a special mechanism that was only effective against flesh and blood. If he wanted to leave, he had to find another method as a weapon. Otherwise, he would be trapped here sooner or later, unable to escape. To Chen Heng, this would not cause much of an impact. However, it contradicted his previous thoughts. So, he was still working hard. As a result, the entire blade was glowing.
In the next few decades, he plundered the immortal light in a frenzy, obtaining natural creation and comprehending the Dao Principles within it, wanting to melt it into his body and use it for his Dao enlightenment.
A shocking scene occurred. Beams of light emitted in the area, shrouding Chen Heng completely. It was like a furnace of light, burning fiercely. Immortal light turned into fuel, and Dao Principles turned into a flame, burning Chen Heng’s body continuously, removing the impurities and leaving only the most essential parts.
This was a painful process. Initially, Chen Heng felt his true spirit was about to shatter. Then, the initially flawless power of his true spirit started to crack, and it was on the verge of disintegrating. This was a terrifying thing.
The true spirit was the derivation and sublimation of the origin, and it was also the foundation. Once it disintegrated, it would almost mean that he would die, and he would have to bear a huge risk.
With Chen Heng’s current cultivation base, his true spirit was more tempered. Of course, ordinary power could not affect his true spirit at all, but it was about to disintegrate at this moment.
Chen Heng suppressed his urge to stop immediately and used a secret technique. Nevertheless, he attracted immortal light from all directions and continued to burn.
Immortal light overlapped and spread. It was like a new world of immortal light. The Dao Principles within it were like a myriad of stars, looking extremely bright as if it was about to open up a brand new world.
Chen Heng was at the center of the world. He quietly transformed and used the power of the Immortal Sect to complete this round of tempering. This was very important to him.
After all, it was already very difficult for a true spirit to undergo this level of transformation at his level. Very few things in this world could threaten him, let alone temper him.
Immortal light was burning, and during the burning process, the Dao Principles that belonged to the Immortal Sect were continuously pouring in and being devoured by a pure, true spirit.
That was the Dao Principles of the Immortal Sect. It merged into Chen Heng’s body, making his true spirit glow and tend to sublimate. Vaguely, Chen Heng seemed to be able to see the direction to take a step further. Finally, the transformation of his true spirit opened up a path for him.
At the same time, his actions merged with the Dao Principles of the Immortal Sect, finally causing his body to transform together. A strand of immortal light appeared on his body.
The immortal light was weak, as weak as a newborn baby. However, it had the same characteristics as the Immortal Sect. It was very pure and special as if it was giving birth to a new hope. The birth of this wisp of immortal light also meant that Chen Heng’s transformation had succeeded.
Bang!
Within the immortal sect, a huge earthquake erupted. Chen Heng released a mighty light using divine art. He protected the wisp of immortal light and nurtured it in the following decades. He borrowed the external environment to strengthen it to increase the energy of the wisp of immortal light.
The immortal light grew stronger and stronger. In the beginning, the light gradually transformed and was able to shine and shroud Chen Heng’s entire sword body in the end.
‘Finally…’ He felt joy in his heart and had a kind of enlightenment.
Comprehending the Dao Principles of the Immortal Sect, his body gave birth to immortal light. In this world, he had already taken a very crucial step. It was very likely that he had already opened up a path to further progress, which was equivalent to laying down a path for the future.
This kind of harvest was something that he had never thought of before, and it made Chen Heng feel somewhat pleasantly surprised. However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
After all, this was inside the Immortal Sect. It was an existence whose essence was comparable to a divine weapon. No matter what kind of natural creation there was, it was not strange.
The further one progressed in cultivation, the greater the gap between them. With Chen Heng’s current level, the gap between him and the Immortal Sect was huge. All the little things here were natural creations to him.
However, whether it was good fortune or something else, Chen Heng’s only goal at this moment was to leave this place and head to the world known as Immortal World by Yiu Ruo. He would embark on a new journey and have a brand-new fortuitous encounter there.
Just like that, tens of years passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Heng rose and fell in this place and transformed for tens of years. Normally, he used the immortal light to temper himself, but he had already reached a certain limit and could no longer continue.
This was because he could feel that his true spirit and body had already reached their limit and could no longer continue forward. Therefore, if he wanted to take another step forward, he would have to undergo an ultimate transformation. And this could only be done in a complete world.
Although the Immortal World before him was vast and infinite, the spiritual opportunity within was not complete and unsuitable for such an attack. Furthermore, the outcome would probably be very bad if he forcefully broke through.
Chen Heng had a premonition of this, so he stopped his tempering in the last ten years and focused on exploring this world. After all these years of exploration, he already had some clues about how to leave this place.
A divine sword laid horizontally in the void, immortal light emitting faintly, dazzling and shocking. The divine sword gleamed, and the Dao patterns appeared layer by layer, covering this void space. It was like a miniature star that spanned across heaven and earth, suppressing the void in all directions.
Over the years, as Chen Heng continued to absorb the immortal light, his essence was already very close to the power of the Immortal Sect. The resistance within the Immortal Sect became smaller for him and was no longer a problem. He was finally able to make some moves truly.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding sounded in the area.
A divine sword directly slashed through the void, forcefully cutting out a brand new path in the void, opening a path in it.
Bang!
The entire world of the Immortal Sect was shaking. Chen Heng could keenly sense that the world around was being mobilized. This world was instinctively counterattacking, wanting to suppress the chaos here.
Chen Heng dissolved this power by relying on his understanding of the Dao Principles of the Immortal Sect. Then, by relying on his resonance with the aura of the Immortal Sect, he used a different method to dissolve the turbulence.
Otherwise, he would not be able to do it using force, even if he was ten times stronger. He would be suppressed sooner or later despite advancing to the ninth rank.
Even in the current situation, he would not be able to hold on for too long. Sooner or later, he would be suppressed. Hence, his time was very precious. He had to escape before he could hold on. Otherwise, there would be problems sooner or later.
The divine sword continued to slash before him, forcefully opening up a brand new path following some connection forward. It was very close!
As time passed, Chen Heng could feel that the distance between his own body and that world was getting closer.
The world before him had changed at some point in time. Densely packed threads intertwined endlessly, interweaving into a huge network that lay horizontally in this place.
There were specks of stars in the middle, flickering with brilliance and exceptional resplendence. These were all worlds that the Immortal Sect connected.
However, there was only one that was truly in the center, and it was also the one that Chen Heng paid the most attention to. He stared at that world, looking in all directions. His body continuously trembled, erupting with a terrifying power sufficient to destroy the stars.
Finally, that path was opened by him. The Immortal Sect’s repulsive force reached its maximum, pressing toward Chen Heng.
“After the ninth rank, should I use my own body to evolve the world and truly reach the size of a world?” Chen Heng still had thoughts in his mind while being squeezed by the power of the Immortal Sect.
To truly feel the power of the Immortal Sect was a very rare experience for him. He could feel the power of that level up close, and from there, he could sort out a direction for his future advancement.
In Chen Heng’s perception, the Immortal Sect was like the real world. Many laws were evolving in it, but they were far from complete. It was a broken world.
However, this was also the real world. It was not a small secret realm that looked complete, comparable to the real world. This was a difference in status.
Therefore, Chen Heng thought this might be the path after the ninth rank. But, of course, different worlds might have different ways of advancing, and Immortal Sects were not real creatures, so it might be strange. However, from what Chen Heng felt, although the systems of different worlds were different, the final destination was the same.
For example, the fourth rank in the world of Gods and the Nascent Soul of this world needed to awaken their true spirits. Or, the seventh ring and the Heavenly Venerate of this world must have come into contact with the evolution of laws and power...
Presumably, it was the same above the ninth rank...
...
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and unknowingly, a bright light appeared ahead.
Chen Heng looked up. The isolation before him had disappeared, and a great world was revealed. It was a brand new world. Dense Gen Qi was erupting, and vast Power of Laws interweaved within it, forming a dense, eye-catching net.
This was the end, and it was also the area that Chen Heng was prepared to head to.
Even though there were some obstacles along the way, Chen Heng succeeded in the end. He had truly opened up a path.
“Perhaps...” A thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind as he was about to leave.
Following that, his true spirit circulated and left a mark that belonged to himself within the world of the Immortal Sect. Finally, he followed the torrent and charged forward.
Bang!
A crisp sound was heard. The isolation between the world of Immortal Gate and that world was broken, revealing a path. Chen Heng’s body followed the torrent to enter that world.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one who entered that world with him. A large amount of immortal light was attracted by his aura and entered that world with him. The immortal light turned into raindrops that dripped like rain and fell before him.
