My construction materials are weird

Even a teleportation array adheres to certain rules.

It cannot transport experts at or above the fourth rank.

Do such experts exist?

Certainly, Xuan Huang knew that there must be such beings in famous mountains and rivers, perhaps newly born, or perhaps still gestating.

But such beings cannot currently appear in the main world.

Even small worlds require a mindless existence, like the Throne in the Blood Soul Realm, or the Blood Moon in the Blood Moon Realm.

While it seems like a restriction, isn't it also a form of protection in reverse?

Protection is not just for safety, but also for [gestation].

After entering the second rank of transcendence, Xuan Huang gained a deeper understanding.

He discovered that not all fourth ranks necessarily had a fourth-rank will; achieving the fourth rank was easy, but achieving a fourth-rank will was too difficult.

Even with his advantages, he had to undergo arduous trials time and time again. Xuan Huang never underestimated himself, nor did he assume others were necessarily stronger.

Therefore, the fourth rank is divided into two types. One is like him, who tempers his will to reach the fourth rank. Such beings can be said to be the strongest.

They hardly rely on any external force, not even the Heavenly Dao.

The other is the method of entrustment, entrusting oneself to profound mysteries.

Profound mystery is a pursuit and comprehension, and once obtained, it is called True Meaning.

Comprehending profound mysteries is to condense True Meaning.

The reason why a cultivator's comprehension of profound mysteries is not called True Meaning is because True Meaning corresponds to the fourth-rank True Self.

The method of entrustment is to entrust one's True Self to the True Meaning created by the Heavenly Dao, thereby achieving the fourth rank by borrowing the operation of heaven and earth.

It seems strange to have True Meaning from the start, as if True Meaning is a dime-a-dozen existence, but don't forget how the aberrations are formed; they are fragments of rules.

No matter how down and out they are, they are still fragments of rules, beings of the fourth rank in essence.

The reason why aberrations are so difficult to eradicate and so unsolvable is because their essence is too high, not conforming to the logic of a normal world progressing from weak to strong.

The aberrations of this world start with aberrations of the fourth rank in essence, which is the reason for their terror.

Another unique point of this world is that, in essence, True Meaning starts at the fourth rank, being pure white.

However, under the operation of this world, True Meaning is further subdivided into third-rank red, second-rank black, first-rank gray, and entry-level transparent.

It seems that this is due to the merging of myriad worlds, resulting in such distinct characteristics.

A complete world's True Meaning should start as white, a fourth-rank existence from the beginning, corresponding to the fourth-rank True Self.

To describe it, it's like when the world is first born, or newly opened, still unstable, with the Dao still revealed externally, making it the best time to comprehend True Meaning.

If one waits until the completion of the merging, when the Heavenly Dao is completely perfected and advances, then the gray, black, and red True Meaning will be hidden within the white True Meaning, making comprehension not as easy as it is now.

It can be called: The Era of Heavenly Dao Manifestation.

All living beings can be called: The Age of Innate Beings.

Returning to the method of entrustment, cultivators do not need to temper their will to the fourth rank themselves, because that path is too abnormal, equivalent to comprehending the complete white fourth-rank True Meaning during its manifestation.

They only need to constantly comprehend profound mysteries, slowly enhancing them into True Meaning, and then entrust their will to the True Meaning, which is a simple process of comprehension.

Xuan Huang's will tempering is like building a high-rise building, while entrusting True Meaning is like climbing an existing high-rise building.

This is the difference.

This is derived from Xuan Huang's cultivation improvement and stronger superego, almost overturning his previous belief that becoming a fourth rank required a fourth-rank will.

It's the same as the cultivators under his command.

A first-level True Will can, with his suppression, achieve first-rank Profound Transformation; a fourth-level True Will can, with his suppression, achieve second-rank Profound Illumination; a seventh-level True Will can, with his suppression, achieve third-rank Cave Profundity; and a first-rank Profound Transformation True Will can, with his suppression, achieve fourth-rank True Self.

In other words, the method of entrustment requires at least a first-rank Profound Transformation True Will.

It's hard to compare. One can only say that Xuan Huang's method of True Meaning is more autonomous.

For example, the reason why those current fourth-rank beings cannot come out and are restricted is because they have entrusted their True Self to True Meaning.

And True Meaning is the manifestation of the Dao. Who is the Dao?

Naturally, it is the Heavenly Dao.

Under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, they cannot leave specific spaces, which is somewhat involuntary.

They can only currently stay within specific areas, and it's not just the restriction of the Heavenly Dao, but something more important.

That is, the current distortion of the Heavenly Intent and the fragmentation of the world create a highly unstable environment for them. Even if their True Self is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao's True Meaning, they cannot guarantee that accidents won't occur.

For example, if a large world suddenly merges into Blue Star, causing the Heavenly Dao's operation in that area to become irregular in a short period.

And if they are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao's True Meaning suddenly malfunctions in a short period, it will naturally cause them to malfunction or even lose control.

So, it is both a restriction and a protection.

Furthermore, the protection mentioned earlier is a [gestation protection].

What is gestation?

It is protection that gradually becomes stronger. They can only be in specific realms, but these specific realms all have the same premise.

That is, they are gradually becoming stronger.

Taking Mount Tai as an example, all Mount Tais throughout the myriad worlds, or those called Mount Tai, or those resembling Mount Tai, are merging into the Mount Tai realm.

Is this simply the Mount Tai realm becoming stronger?

No! It is also these fourth-rank beings becoming stronger, as their True Meaning is entrusted to the entire Mount Tai realm.

Combining the above, there is the restriction of the Heavenly Dao and the gestation protection of gradual strengthening.

So, why come out?

Not only is it dangerous to come out, but one might even lose cultivation. Ordinary people would not come out.

Previously, Xuan Huang and Bi Xia, Long Yue, and others worried that these big shots would come out during the decade of great change, but now, looking back, it is clear that they were overthinking it.

Xuan Huang cannot be compared.

But ordinary beings do not have Xuan Huang's advantage of a cheat-like method of will.

Would they choose to become stronger in a specific realm, or casually stroll around?

They would definitely slowly become stronger in the realm!

At the same time, Xuan Huang also corrected one of his previous mistaken ideas.

That is, when he reaches the fourth rank, would he be locked up by the Heavenly Dao, receiving the same treatment as those realm big shots?

Now it seems that it will not happen, as he and they are not walking the same path.

Their True Self is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao's True Meaning, while his True Meaning is the world he opened up in his upper, middle, and lower dantian. He himself is the Heavenly Dao's True Meaning.

Although his Heavenly Intent is still weak compared to those entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, it is autonomous and controllable, without relying on external forces, and no one can restrict him.

It can even be said that Xuan Huang cultivates the Great Dao, while they cultivate the Heavenly Dao.

The current Heavenly Dao simply does not allow fourth ranks to appear in the main world.

Even the teleportation array in front of him has such restrictions, unable to transport fourth ranks and above.

Now that he has cleared his mind, the problem is easy to solve.

After a moment of contemplation, Xuan Huang had the answer.

With a wave of his hand, the entire underground cave was concealed, containing powerful early warning capabilities.

Afterward, Xuan Huang disappeared into the depths of the mountains.

Returning to Qingyun Mountain, Xuan Huang arrived in the small world once more.

As soon as he entered, Xuan Huang saw the Guixu Millstone undergoing its transformation. Having devoured the limbs of the Cursed Corpse, it was preparing to break through to the third rank.

Here, a clarification is needed.

Currently, the Jianmu is a third-rank with innate characteristics, and the Furnace is also preparing for innate characteristics.

Only the Guixu Millstone's breakthrough to the third rank is not a transformation with innate characteristics.

This is because the Heaven and Earth Furnace relies on the spiritual intent of the lower dantian's Qi Sea to reverse its innate nature, while the Jianmu relies on Xuan Huang's middle dantian, the Yellow Court, to reverse its innate nature.

If the Guixu Millstone wants to reverse its innate nature, it needs Xuan Huang to open the upper dantian, the Purple Palace, at the third rank, and use the innate spiritual intent within the Purple Palace to reverse it.

Each supreme treasure corresponds to a dantian; this cannot be messed up.

The three great treasures correspond to essence, qi, and spirit. This is the path Xuan Huang pointed out, and it is also the foundation of the Origin of Creation Dao, the Origin of Guixu Dao, and the Origin of Reincarnation Dao.

It is impossible for the Guixu Millstone of the Origin of Guixu to use the characteristics of the Origin of Reincarnation in the middle dantian to reverse its innate nature.

Not one mistake, not one hair astray, not one iota out of place!

This is the original intention, the origin, and the cause and effect; it cannot be deviated from.

Therefore, even if it breaks through to the third rank, the Guixu Millstone will only be a regular third-rank, not a third-rank with innate characteristics.

However, the Guixu Millstone will not become weaker because of this. Strictly speaking, it is the luckiest of the three artifacts.

The Jianmu did not encounter the Reincarnation World, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace did not encounter the Creation Realm.

Only the Guixu Millstone encountered Guixu.

It was fortunate enough to refine the Qi of Guixu from the first rank. This starting point is much stronger than the Furnace and the Jianmu.

Therefore, although the Furnace was the first to become a second-rank and was Xuan Huang's main treasure when he was at the first rank, and the Jianmu was Xuan Huang's main treasure at the second rank,

both of them are becoming stronger as they are refined by Xuan Huang.

But previously, the strongest was still the Guixu Millstone.

This is the difference. Xuan Huang's dantian refinement cannot keep up with the Guixu Millstone; its luck is unimaginable.

It's as if this fellow is the inheritor of Guixu, not only having the Qi of Guixu to refine but also having the outer extension of Guixu, the millstone, devoured and refined by it.

Everything in Guixu seems to be prepared for it; one can only say its luck is heaven-defying.

It was also said before that the second rank cultivates yin and yang. The three yang artifacts are not lacking, and the yin aspect has also been compensated for by the discovery of the Blood Soul Realm.

Currently, all three are complete in yin and yang, only lacking the opportunity to advance.

And the opportunity has come, thanks to the sacrifice of the Cursed Corpse, who sacrificed himself to complete the three artifacts.

Even the Carbo Clan crystal core of the Jianmu was obtained by Xuan Huang because of the Cursed Corpse.

After the three artifacts enter the third rank in the future, Xuan Huang will definitely tell them not to forget the gift of the Cursed Corpse.

The Cursed Corpse's support all the way, from the first rank to the second rank, from the second rank to the third rank.

It really is… I'm speechless!

The Furnace was the first to enter the second rank; how did it enter?

Of course, it was through the Cursed Corpse's Cursed Blood Mark; this cannot be forgotten.

Now, the Cursed Corpse has contributed everything it could contribute; there's nothing more to say.

Since the Guixu Millstone doesn't need his attention, Xuan Huang summoned the Furnace.

"Buzz, buzz!" The Furnace spun around and around.

Aura of innate energy permeated it, but it hadn't transformed yet.

"In a moment, Jianmu will assist you in refining the Cursed Corpse, extracting its true intent. Leave the complete one for me. The one that had thirty percent of its true intent taken away by the stone, and the remaining seventy percent, can you use it to enter the third rank?"

The Furnace was silent for a while, then said: 【Master, rest assured, I am completely confident. It's just that the time required will be long… The slowness is not because the seventy percent of true intent is insufficient, but because I want to continue to condense the Qi Sea spiritual intent. The advancement may take a little longer, perhaps after half a month.】

"Half a month is not long. Begin."

After speaking, he summoned the Jianmu: "Assist the eldest brother in refining the Cursed Corpse. Also, remember, you two only need to extract the true intent. Leave the Cursed Corpse's energy to Purgatory. It needs to achieve the second-rank limit as soon as possible and enter the third rank early so that the teleportation array can be moved into it."

Jianmu and the Furnace: 【Yes, Master.】

Then, the two began to cooperate. The three of them were very tacit, a tacit understanding nurtured by Xuan Huang together, a tacit understanding of growing together, a tacit understanding of being essence, qi, and spirit treasures together.

Therefore, Xuan Huang didn't need to manage them at all; just give a word of instruction.

What Xuan Huang needed to think about was still how to get Purgatory to enter the third rank.

The energy of the third rank was there, the body of the Cursed Corpse was there, and the true intent of the third rank was also there, and it was still the true intent of the Cursed Corpse.

The only thing lacking was the yin aspect of yin and yang.

This was the yin aspect that only the demons of the Blood Soul Realm had; what was lacking now was this.

Thinking of this, Xuan Huang could only accelerate the accumulation.

The time Xuan Huang gave was one month. Within one month, he would make up for Purgatory's yin characteristics, balance its yin and yang, and then refine the Cursed Corpse's true intent to enter the third rank.

As long as Purgatory entered the third rank, the teleportation array could be moved into it.

The teleportation array would be operated with the help of the energy of the eighteen layers of space.

Thinking of this, Xuan Huang sent a message to the cultivators.

【All cultivators, listen to the order: In the coming month, do your best to conquer the Blood Soul Realm, and do your best to collect the corpses of demons. In the coming month, the corpses of demons of the same rank will be worth three times the points of the corpses of fierce beasts; the individual with the greatest contribution will receive a second-rank Star Devouring Vine spirit seed; the force with the greatest contribution can choose one of the three great divine abilities, 'Yin-Yang Reversal,' 'Law, Heaven, and Earth,' or 'Momentary Bloom,' as a reward.】

After Xuan Huang sent this message down,

the entire Qingyun Mountain immediately boiled over.

"Fellow Daoist, I seem to have forgotten. Is this the first time Master Xuan has issued a mission order?" a middle-aged female cultivator asked.

"That's right, you didn't misremember. This is the first time Master Xuan has issued an order," a young cultivator said.

The middle-aged female cultivator said: "Sure enough. Not to mention the rewards given by Master Xuan, even if there were no rewards, it's Master Xuan's first time issuing an order. We must do it even if we die."

"Fellow Daoist is right. Although the rewards are tempting, Master Xuan's order is greater than everything. This is the moment for us cultivators to prove ourselves. We must let Master Xuan see our efforts."

The female cultivator said: "That's right, that's what I think. Without Master Xuan, I would still be a puppet controlled by the Strange Association. Master Xuan gave me new life; he is everything to me."

These were definitely not high-sounding words.

These were the true feelings of ninety-nine percent of the cultivators.

After all, this was Xuan Huang's first time issuing a mission order, and it was such a large-scale mission order.

Not to mention the rogue cultivators, even the Four Great Families and Eight Major Sects instantly boiled over.

Seclusion?

Seclude my ass!

Master Xuan's order is greater than everything. What Master Xuan wants is what we must do even if we risk our lives.

Moreover, the rewards are so generous. Not to mention the rewards for the strongest individual and the strongest force, even the individual rewards are worth risking one's life for.

This is a three-fold reward.

Although the prices of demons in the Blood Soul Realm have always been higher than those of fierce beasts in the main world, it was only by twenty to thirty percent, but now it is directly three times the price.

It is equivalent to killing a demon of the same rank and exchanging it for three times the price of a fierce beast.

What else is there to say?

War! War! War!
