"There is a thing that is mixed and formed, born before heaven and earth, silent and vast, standing alone and unchanging, moving in cycles without dying, it can be the mother of heaven and earth..."

In the midst of the void, it seemed there was Dao sound echoing in his mind, revolving endlessly, pushing Qing Yu's realm step by step towards the Realm of Great Success in the Mystic Universe.

This was the final gift from the Dao Ancestor. By gaining this insight, Qing Yu could indeed achieve the peak of the Mystic Universe in the Heavenly Domain, having close proximity to the Dao's abilities even before the Heavenly Domain's seal was opened.

But if one were to covet this convenience, they would fall into the Dao Ancestor's trap.

It is often said that those who learn from me will live, but those who resemble me will die. If Qing Yu were to cultivate in strict accordance with the Taoist Intent taught by the Dao Ancestor, he would indeed reach the critical point of the Tao Realm earlier, but in the future, he would pay a huge price for it.

Not to mention the difficulty in breaking through the Tao Realm doubled, just the restrictive means of the Dao Ancestor would be enough for Qing Yu to decline this small convenience.

That person, at the time of the creation of the True Qi Martial Way, crafted the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture," an old fox specialized in restraining the True Qi Martial Way. The things he left won't be genuinely considered goodwill of an elder.

Thus, Qing Yu summarized the Dao Ancestor's legacy, encompassing the essence of the "Soldier Armor Martial Scripture," and devised his own tenth layer of Primordial Heaven.

"Primordial Heaven is like a chicken egg. The heavenly body is round like a pellet, the land like the yellow inside of a chicken egg, solitary within the heavens where the sky is great and the land small. Heaven envelops the land like a shell covering yellow. Heaven and earth stand on each other's Qi and float on water..."

Qing Yu opened his palm, where a spherical Dan Pill floated. Observing closely, the inside of the Dan Pill seemed to cover the heavens in all directions, blessing all things, mysteriously mixed and formed.

"Heaven rotates like the axle of a wheel, spinning endlessly, its form round and complete, thus called Primordial Heaven."

A dark-colored celestial veil appeared outside Qing Yu's body, swirling endlessly, his form round and complete, resembling an innate god birthed by heaven and earth, using heaven and earth as an egg, incubating vitality. Yet, on Qing Yu's palm, it seemed there was another heaven and earth, inner and outer combining, faintly similar.

Qing Yu referred to the heaven and earth in his palm as "Inner Heaven and Earth," this Inner Heaven and Earth appeared in the palm, but in reality, it is inside the body, termed the human body's small universe, the human body's small heaven and earth.

Back when Qing Yu accomplished the Mystic Universe and evolved that Heart Image Heaven and Earth, it was this Inner Heaven and Earth.

While the outer celestial veil connects with the outer heaven and earth, using heaven and earth as an egg, nurturing oneself into godhood.

Of course, as a major villain listed in the Heavenly Dao's blacklist, heaven and earth wouldn't grant Qing Yu such treatment. In fact, if heaven and earth had awareness, it might directly send Qing Yu a divine punishment.

Therefore, Qing Yu's idea was to swallow the outer from within, seizing the mysteriousness of the outer heavens, nourishing the mystical energy of the Inner Heaven and Earth. This was the path Qing Yu set when he first began cultivating the Mystic Universe.

From this, it's apparent that Qing Yu still possesses a sense of measure, at least knowing how notorious he is with the Heavenly Dao, thus setting the path of swallowing the outer from within early on.

Time, thus, quietly passed in seclusion, with the avatar outside managing external matters, be it issues of Northern Zhou or Taoist sect affairs, none could disturb Qing Yu's seclusion.

And at a certain point in time, Ren Piaomiao in Northern Zhou suddenly flashed with brilliance in his eyes, stepping out of Huanzhu Building.

"The second day of the second lunar month, the agreed time with the Sword God has arrived."

Back then, after Qing Yu killed Elder Shiming, he made a battle agreement with the Sword God. On the second day of the second lunar month, they would compete on the North Sea Dragon Head-Raising Day.

At that time, although the Sword God was aware of Qing Yu's rapidly advancing strength, defeating two Supreme warriors alone, he still did not truly consider Qing Yu as an opponent.

According to the Sword God's claim, Qing Yu's survival under his blade was enough, and the death of Elder Shiming was settled.

Now, with Qing Yu's refined strength after the battle in the Divine Capital, coupled with the Divine's Move, he boldly declared that he now possessed sufficient confidence to suppress the Sword God.

However, Qing Yu's true body was in seclusion, cultivating. Although this avatar was strong, even surpassing the previous Saint and Demon Embryo's half-self, it was still difficult to fully unleash the utmost potential of his strength.

"But a battle with the Sword God is sufficient."

Ren Piaomiao's black hair turned white, the sword robe transformed into a Taiji Taoist robe, stepping out, his figure disappeared.

The avatar's battle with the Sword God, although one could not say victory was certain, it was the evenly matched battles that brought the greatest rewards.

Qing Yu, having received the Dao Ancestor's legacy, even if not advancing according to the Dao Ancestor's insight, once fully digesting this inheritance, had enough posture to ask for The World's Number One.

However, Qing Yu never aimed to be The World's Number One. His goals had already shifted to what lay beyond the heavens.

The Dao Ancestor, Buddha, and the Heavenly Dao—these were his targets. Unless absolutely necessary, the true body would not act lightly. In this world, it's sufficient to let the avatar do the stirring.

"Unknowingly, I've become quite inflated..."

A laugh of indescribable meaning lingered in front of Huanzhu Building, drifting with the wind.

························

Inside the Northern Zhou Imperial Palace, Emperor Zhou sensed the departure of another avatar, and couldn't help but speak softly: "This will surely be a world-shocking battle, and will further refresh the world's understanding of Lord Qingyu. But..."

But, no one would think that the avatar had at most only eighty percent of the true body's strength.

Many people would believe they had witnessed Qing Yu's true power, but they wouldn't realize that Qing Yu's true strength was far from this, and it was still increasing.

"Father, what is world-shocking?"

The small child sitting on the knees asked curiously, looking up.

Several years had passed, and the small princess of Northern Zhou had grown up, now able to walk and jump, exuding liveliness.

One regrettable thing was her father, Feng Jiu, was always busy with state affairs, rarely having time to accompany this beloved daughter.

Recently, I managed to find some rare time to spend with my family, but unexpectedly, the backlash of the Human Dao Will forced Feng Jiu to reluctantly abandon the body and Primordial Spirit, leaving only a trace of Spiritual Sense for nurturing.

Naturally, the little princess is not suitable to know this harsh reality, so in her understanding, her father is still alive and has more time to spend with her than before.

Qing Yu is also happy to accompany her in this regard.

Feng Xi is Feng Jiu's daughter, and in some sense, she can be considered Qing Yu's Tribulation Slave, although not as severe as in Feng Jiu's case.

In her interactions with the child, Qing Yu can clearly feel her fondness and affection, a different emotion that gives Qing Yu a feeling distinct from the Heavenly Person's Heart Realm.

'Heavenly Heart, Human Heart, Unity of Man and Heaven, is indeed an interesting exploration.'

Emperor Zhou picked up the little princess and laughed, "What Father is saying is that there is a world-renowned grand drama about to unfold. The scene will surely astonish everyone."

"Is that so?" Feng Xi's eyes were filled with deep curiosity, "Then Feng Xi also wants to see it."

"Father will arrange it so that not only Feng Xi, but others as well, can watch this grand drama." Emperor Zhou said with a smile.

"That's great!"

The little princess clapped happily, "Thank you, Father."

"As long as my little princess is happy." Emperor Zhou laughed heartily.

························

Regardless of Emperor Zhou's family matters, Qing Yu traveled all the way, and the horizon beneath his feet was reduced to the distance of a single step.

From the Piaomiao Sword Palace of Northern Zhou to the North Sea Dragon Head, the time taken was less than an hour.

Dragon Head is a very famous island reef in the North Sea, shaped like a Divine Dragon emerging from the water, looking up at the sky, it is a well-known place in the world.

In such a famous place, Qing Yu naturally does not need to worry about the Sword God not being able to find it.

After all, when Qing Yu responded earlier, he only said "the second day of the second lunar month, Dragon Head," without specifying that this Dragon Head was a location rather than a time.

When Qing Yu arrived at the North Sea, he saw that on the dragon's head of the island reef, someone had been sitting cross-legged with a sword across for a long time, waiting.

He sat there like a sword standing upright towards the sky, brewing endless Sword Force.

Not only him, but this island reef, the sea, the sky clouds, and sea breeze were all swords, yet it was not the realm of everything becoming swords.

"Instead of saying everything becomes swords, it's better to say everything was transformed into swords by the Sword Force." Qing Yu's eyes glimmered, the connection between the Sword Force and everything was unmistakable to him.

The Sword God was like a sun, a sun turned into a sword, and under his sunlight (Sword Force), all things must bathe in his Qi Mechanism (Blade Energy).

And everything close to the sun (Sword God) will be burned by the sun, becoming part of him, which is Blade Energy.

The Sword God did not comprehend the realm of everything turning into swords, nor would he attempt to comprehend it. On the path he walked, there was only him and the sword.

This is different from the Thirteenth Sword's heaven and earth becoming swords, the Sword God never thought of using everything as his weapons, but his domineering and self-centered Sword Force did not allow the presence of other traces around.

"Good sword." Qing Yu praised.

"Good sword." The Sword God, who had unknowingly lifted his head to look this way, praised.

The former praised the Sword God's Sword Path, the latter praised the sword in Qing Yu's hand.

The Great Tribulation Device—Doomsday Myth, is indeed a good sword. And Qing Yu's Sword Path, to be honest, is strong indeed, but it is merely a tool for Qing Yu to use.

Just like the Sword Dao, the Sword Path is also a tool for Qing Yu, a carrier for him to display his power.

Qing Yu has never considered himself a true swordsman or swordman, even though his swordsmanship and Sword Technique are among the rarest in the world, perhaps only surpassed by the Sword God and Blade God.

"Sword God, I have come as promised," Qing Yu stepped down step by step from the air like a heavenly staircase, "Today, we duel with swords."

At a glance, the Sword Light flashing in the Sword God's eyes split the air with a black mark.

"Are you underestimating me?"

The Daoist Master's knowledge in the Sword Path is well-known across the land, after all, back then Heavenly Master Zhang was defeated under the Thunder Blade.

However, no one ever believed that Qing Yu defeated Heavenly Master Zhang relying on the Sword Path.

Moreover, Qing Yu's most famous Martial Arts was not the sword.

Yet now, Qing Yu is using the sword before the Sword God, which is as if showing off one's skills before an expert. Perhaps after today, there will be a common saying, "Brandishing a sword before the Sword God."

"Sword and blade, to this poor Daoist, there's not much difference, how could there be talk of underestimation?" Qing Yu smiled, "This sword is a Great Tribulation Device, in some respects it is on the same level as the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sky Demon, using this sword, there's no underestimation."
