CHAPTER 1132: CHAPTER 323: THE HEAVENLY PUNISHMENT REALM IS FORMED, KUN DEMON ACCEPTS MASTER

"Even now, Ruohui’s cultivation progress is blocked, and she can only rely on the growth of the Heaven and Earth Core to slowly advance."

"But what if Ruohui also practices the Cave Heaven Technique?"

Most of An Jing’s friends are unable to directly learn the Cave Heaven Technique. Firstly, An Jing himself hasn’t fully understood it, so he naturally wouldn’t endanger his friends, and also because the others don’t meet the fundamental conditions to practice it.

However, You Ruhui is different.

She has the need because Martial Arts isn’t suitable for her, and the Immortal Path cannot be cultivated in Embracing the Void.

She has the conditions because she truly possesses the Heaven and Earth Core, and her share is probably even more than what An Jing obtained!

"Perhaps, I should indeed invite You Ruhui to explore the Cave Heaven Technique together..."

Holding the Heaven’s Retribution Sword, An Jing murmured, "In this way, I too will have a companion in cultivation—those details and processes like ’Divide Without Beginning’ and ’Operate Yin Yang,’ which I skipped due to being too talented, can be comprehended through Ruohui!"

Of course, that’s all for later.

As for now...

Holding the Heaven’s Retribution Sword, as the axis of the Cave Heaven, An Jing, who embodies the Heavenly Dao, swung a sword towards the east.

With a deafening thunderstorm, scarlet fierce light erupted in the Heavenly Dome.

The original Anjing Cave Heaven, after the ’Creation from Nothing,’ had only heaven and earth, a hazy white sky curtain and a murky black earth.

But as the Divine Intention of the Heavenly Punishment Sword returned, suddenly the spring thunder exploded, and the originally Yin Yang chaotic sky curtain suddenly trembled, then descended with boundless vast rain, encompassing the heaven and earth with crystal clear, utterly pure rain screens.

This rain was like a sharp sword, immediately transforming into ten thousand miles of flood waves, carving out depressions and hollows on the originally flat land, with cracks and openings everywhere; and these heavenly waters, imbued with the intent of Heavenly Tribulation and Punishment, filled and submerged these sword scars, transforming into lakes and rivers, and then accumulating into a vast azure sea on the periphery.

And this sea is not an ordinary sea, it is one of the ’Three Elements’ [Heaven Earth Water], a symbol of the principle of circulation!

The Heavenly Punisher, in the aftermath of excess. The excess of heaven lies in deficiency, the excess of earth lies in sinking; hence the Nether Sea is born, to purify corruption, with all waters rising, souls rotating, thus begins the cycle of reincarnation, the foundation of circulation, river channels connecting heaven and earth!

’Establish the Four Extremes,’ first step completed, East Pole accomplished, Nether Sea born!

"Perfect!"

Subdue Evil at this moment also praised: "From no beginning to the ultimate origin, Yin and Yang are separated, the Three Elements established, this Cave Heaven can truly be called perfect and complete, as a foundation of your Daoist path, it couldn’t be more perfect!"

From the perspective of a cultivator and the Immortal Sword, Subdue Evil’s evaluation was not excessive, but as the Lord of Cave Heaven, the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, An Jing felt that he was still one step short.

And it was at this moment.

The Daoist patterns related to the [Supreme Celestial True Solution] trembled slightly, causing the [True Spirit Blood] within him to heat up.

An Jing suddenly recalled the scene at the [Beginning of Creation in Embracing the Void].

A scale unknown from which direction gave rise to a Divine Tree, then created an entire world!

—Heaven and man are one, I am Taiyi—

"Heaven and man, if it is a natural world, naturally heaven and earth come first, then life—but in the heaven and earth created by us cultivators, it is man first, then heaven and earth."

"Man is Taiyi, ’my heart’ is the ’Heaven and Earth Core’... since this is the case, even if this world has nothing, there should be life first emerging before heaven and earth, ’Creation from Nothing’!"

Laughing heartily, An Jing tossed the Heaven’s Retribution Sword, allowing its body to reside in the deepest part of the East Pole Sea, nourished by the Cave Heaven Nether Sea, then grasped the Life-taking Sword in his hand.

Then, he casually drew the blade across his left hand, letting drops of crimson gold blood fall, descending towards the center of the Cave Heaven, surrounded by the heaven, earth, and sea.

Killing life, is termination. Taiyi lost me, then myriad beings derived.

This is the greatest calamity between heaven and earth, and also the greatest fortune.

The ’True Spirit Blood’ fell into the core of the Cave Heaven; it was not something derived after the Cave Heaven, it existed before the creation of the Cave Heaven, born before heaven and earth, the most ancient and complete True Spirit—at the moment it fell onto the earth, it transformed into a seed, bathing in heavenly rain, solidifying the foundation of the earth, absorbing the waters of the Nether Sea, sprouting and flourishing, instantly growing into a small sapling.

The sapling was entirely crimson Xuan, like rusty iron, enduring hardship to grow ever stronger, with ink green leaves and veins like swords crossing, extremely sharp, injuring upon touch.

Bathed in heavenly rain, it grew robustly, and its roots began to penetrate the earth, spreading into the sea.

[—Creation from Nothing—]

An Jing’s will and blood transformed into this Cave Heaven Spirit; he is the Lord of Heavenly Dao in this realm, the Cave Heaven Spirit, but the Cave Heaven Spirit is only a part of him.

As this small sapling continuously branches and buds, the originally trembling Cave Heaven, the rotating Yin Yang Yuan Qi, and the foundation of the Three Elements all began to stabilize, running creation with ’Creation from Nothing’ at the core, accumulating power.

Taiyi. Two Forms. Three Elements. Four Extremes.

Although only one of the Four Extremes exists now, with the initial creation of heaven and earth, this step is already sufficient.

Until this moment, An Jing finally had a feeling.

This Cave Heaven is a part of him, the extension of his flesh and blood, soul, and will.

"This is the feeling of the Lord of Cave Heaven..."

An Jing closed his eyes; he could feel that he was both man and Cave Heaven Spirit, that Divine Wood born of nothing; his breath was the tremor of heaven and earth, his thoughts the rules of the operation of the Heavenly Dao, the Cave Heaven was a part of it, belonging to no one, not to any other Heavenly Dao, but uniquely to him, as a part of himself.
