A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Some exceptionally talented individuals are very likely to surpass their limits; but many dull-witted people, no matter how much they cultivate, will never reach their limits.

"This essence liquid I've used is only enough to barely get me to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, not a breakthrough to my limit... I'll hold off for a few more days. Once I've improved this Spirit Gathering Array again, upgraded it to the Heavenly Rank, and increased its efficiency once more, then I can break through!"

Yunhua pondered for a moment, then stopped cultivating once again and began to deduce the formation.

The yellow-haired bear and the black ox in the immortal abode breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The black ox said:

"I thought he was going to rush into the Myriad Manifestations Realm in one go, but he managed to stabilize it in the end! Otherwise, it would be too terrifying to rush from the Perfection of the Innate Realm to the Myriad Manifestations Realm in a single day."

"This kid is incredibly ambitious. He naturally wants to break through to the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm before making a breakthrough. He doesn't have enough Yuan Liquid right now, so he definitely won't break through like this. He's currently deducing formations, so he must be aiming for an even greater advancement!"

The yellow-haired bear exclaimed in amazement, "I just didn't expect his formations to be so powerful now."

"Yes, I've also read the 'Nine Scrolls of Formations.' Although it's a collection of formation texts left behind by a wandering immortal, I feel that his research on formations has already surpassed the content of the 'Nine Scrolls of Formations.'"

The black ox exclaimed in amazement, "He combined the human-grade array plate with the earth-grade array flag, and supplemented it with other arrays. Now this array is approaching the heaven-grade array."

After Yunhua Zifu reached perfection, he successfully deduced the array here to the Heavenly Rank. The efficiency of the array in refining Yuan Liquid doubled again, producing at least twenty catties of Yuan Liquid every day.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Six thousand catties of Yuan Liquid, it should be time to start the breakthrough!!"

Yunhua immediately sat down cross-legged to refine the Yuan Liquid. His Purple Mansion Lake continued to expand, expand, and expand again. The Purple Mansion Lake continuously encroached on the void space within the Purple Mansion space, growing stronger and stronger, while at the same time, his Purple Mansion became more and more stable.

After refining 4,500 jin of Yuan liquid, Yunhua discovered that he had not yet reached his limit.

"As expected, I haven't reached the limit yet... With my understanding of the Fire Path, I have already surpassed the limit of the technique." Yunhua didn't think much of it and continued to refine the Yuan Liquid.

To surpass the limits of a cultivation technique, at least two things need to be done.

First, his exceptional physical attributes make his Purple Mansion (a concept in Chinese astrology) inherently incredibly powerful. This is a huge advantage for those skilled in Divine Demon Body Refinement, as the stronger the Divine Demon Body Refinement, the more powerful they become.

Secondly, they possess a profound understanding of the Dao of the school of cultivation, and the deeper their understanding, the stronger their foundation.

However, after exceeding the limits of the cultivation technique, Yunhua's speed in refining the primordial liquid also slowed down, as did the expansion speed of his Purple Mansion. The void within the Purple Mansion also became increasingly stagnant, seemingly hindering the expansion of the Purple Mansion Lake.

"Boom!!"

Finally, after Yunhua had completely refined the six thousand catties of Yuan liquid, his Purple Mansion Lake could no longer expand, and the entire Purple Mansion space was solidified to its limit.

All of this made Yunhua realize that he had reached the limit of the Purple Mansion Realm.

He reached the pinnacle of the Purple Mansion Great Perfection, which consumed a full six thousand catties of Yuan Liquid, demonstrating the superiority of his cultivation technique and the strength of his own talent.

“You can start breaking through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm now!” Yunhua immediately began cultivating according to the methods for the Myriad Manifestations Realm in the “Burning Immortals Manual”.

He was already extremely familiar with this cultivation technique, so he didn't need to delve into it further and could start practicing directly.

At the same time, his dantian began to tremble and undergo a dramatic change...

"He's finally about to break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and he's not even two years old yet!" the old ox in the Immortal Abode exclaimed.

"He only reached his limit with 6,000 jin of Yuan Liquid. He has already surpassed the limit recorded in the 'Burning Immortal Manual.' Although I had anticipated this while watching him break existing cultivation records over this period, I still couldn't help but marvel when I actually saw it!" the yellow-haired bear said.

"It's just a pity that he doesn't have the second volume of the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' yet. He's only reached the Purple Mansion Perfection stage and hasn't been able to progress any further. After this breakthrough, he should go out and travel!" the yellow-haired bear concluded.

Neither the yellow-haired bear nor the black ox doubted the level of Yunhua's Dharma form.

The 6,000 jin of primordial liquid has proven that his Dharma form is absolutely top-tier. Other cultivation methods might only require around 800 jin of primordial liquid to achieve a top-tier Dharma form, making 6,000 jin of primordial liquid unimaginable to others.

Chapter 959 Strange Phenomena

At this moment, within Yunhua's Purple Mansion, the Purple Mansion Lake is vast and boundless. Compared to the Purple Mansion Lakes of others, Yunhua's can truly be called a "sea".

Whether in terms of depth, breadth, or even purity, it far surpasses others.

At this moment, as Yunhua began to circulate his breakthrough cultivation technique, the sea level of the entire Purple Mansion Sea began to boil and then drop, and at an extremely rapid rate.

In the deepest part of the Purple Mansion Sea, a massive amount of Yuan energy essence was frantically condensing, and huge stars began to slowly solidify in the ocean.

"Boom!!"

The Purple Mansion Sea, which had dropped significantly in elevation, suddenly began to churn. Giant stars emerged from beneath the sea surface, breaking through the water and soaring into the sky.

The countless stars, radiating brilliant starlight, eventually floated in the endless sky.

In that instant, the Purple Mansion space suddenly seemed much more real. The stars were like the stars in the night sky, and beneath the stars was a vast and boundless ocean.

This is the first extraordinary phenomenon that all cultivators experience when they break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm—a sky full of stars.

However, the changes in Yunhua have not stopped.

"Crash!!"

The sea level of the Purple Mansion Sea is still dropping, and at a faster rate than the previous condensation of stars. An even more astonishing and enormous star is condensing in the seawater.

After an unknown amount of time, an enormous star finally emerged from the sea.

Unlike the previous stars, this star was enormous and emitted a soft light that illuminated the entire night sky, turning the entire Purple Mansion Sea into a silvery white expanse.

In that instant, it became the most dazzling and radiant thing in the Purple Mansion space.

This is the second extraordinary phenomenon that only a few cultivators with solid foundations can possess after breaking through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm—the bright moon rising over the sea.

In that instant, in Yunhua's Purple Mansion space, the bright moon hung high, surrounded by myriad shapes, embracing this bright moon and rendering the entire Purple Mansion space into a picture of a bright moon and starry sky.

"Crash!!"

However, at this time, the water level of the Purple Mansion Sea was still dropping, and at an even faster rate.

The size and depth of the Purple Mansion Sea determine the phenomena of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. Generally, when a relatively talented cultivator reaches this stage, their Purple Mansion Sea is almost completely depleted. However, Yunhua's Purple Mansion Sea is incomparably powerful. Even after such a long period of decline, it is only barely approaching 20% ​​of the Purple Mansion Sea.

At this moment, the Purple Mansion Sea continued to boil, and an equally enormous star was still gathering in the depths of the ocean.

Even before this star appeared, it had already begun to emit an astonishing brilliance, illuminating the entire Purple Mansion Ocean with a dazzling golden-white light.

"Boom!"

Just then, the enormous star finally began to rise, breaking through the surface of the Purple Mansion Sea and soaring out.

In that instant, it was as if the sun had leaped over the horizon, and the world was filled with intense heat, with the most powerful and masculine energy permeating the entire Purple Mansion.

At this moment, the Purple Mansion space transitioned from night to day.

As the sun rose higher, it began to fly to a height comparable to the previous moon.

This is the extraordinary phenomenon that only the most talented cultivators possess after advancing to the Myriad Manifestations Realm—the rising sun!

With stars filling the sky, the moon rising over the sea, and the sun rising in the east, when these three extraordinary phenomena are fully manifested, this is the perfect moment to break through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

"Om!"

The rising sun soared deep into the sky, surrounded by countless stars. It also stood in stark contrast to the moon that had been born earlier. Yin and Yang, soft and hard, bathed the entire Purple Mansion space in their light.

"Condense!!" Yun Hua thought to herself.

"Crash!"

The entire Purple Mansion Ocean continued its frantic descent, this time even faster and more violently than when it had nurtured the sun, moon, and stars.

At the same time, mysterious specks of light floated up from the Purple Mansion Ocean. These specks of light broke through the water and flew into the sky. As the Purple Mansion Ocean continued to descend, more and more specks of light flew out, eventually becoming like thousands of stars, even more dazzling than the sun, moon and stars in the sky.

These points of light quickly flew into the sky, towards the sun, moon, and stars, and merged into them.

After absorbing these points of light, the sun, moon, and stars rapidly grew larger and underwent transformation.

Only when the Purple Mansion Sea was reduced to its last ten percent did all these changes finally cease.

The sun, moon, and stars in the sky have also become more than twice as big, almost twice as big.

"The Myriad Manifestations Realm is complete!!" Yun Hua felt a slight surge of joy, but his mind did not relax.

Because this breakthrough and advancement to the Myriad Manifestations Realm was just the beginning; he had more important things to do.

At this moment, he was wholeheartedly observing the changes of the sun, moon, and stars within his Purple Mansion, and even arranged for the mental energy of the third realm to be used.

Under Yunhua's observation, the stars in the sky above the Purple Mansion began to slowly rotate. At first, it was very slow and difficult, but it soon became natural.

All the stars in the sky began to revolve around the two supreme stars, the sun and the moon, and the whole process was spontaneous; Yunhua did not interfere in the slightest.

Moreover, according to his perception, this operation occurred because the stars within his body resonated with the real stars in the outside world.

This is an important way to observe the world from a micro perspective and understand the movement of stars, as well as an excellent opportunity to carefully observe the movement of the sun and moon.

Yunhua correlated this operating method with the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" that he was cultivating.

He vaguely understood the key to the next level of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram," and he understood the path this body-refining method led to a higher realm.

Yunhua had already obtained the Five Elements Diagram from the Taoist Sanshou. When he was studying the Five Elements Diagram before, he had a general understanding of the divine and demonic body-refining methods of this world. At that time, he had vaguely grasped the key to the tenth level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.

After a year and a half of contemplation and research, coupled with the current practice of internally observing the sun, moon, and stars, the originally vague cultivation method has gradually become clear.

This was a rehearsal. Yunhua's goal was to create a brand-new divine body and a brand-new divine and demonic body-refining technique that suited his phoenix identity.

Now is the perfect time to try to complete the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" as a preview of creating a new cultivation method in the future.

Even if the deduction is wrong, it can be corrected once the correct method of the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" is obtained in the future.

As he comprehended the secrets, the Taiyin and Taiyang divine patterns imprinted on Yunhua's body began to slowly glow, the light growing brighter and brighter as he gained a deeper understanding of the tenth level of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram".

The auras of Yin and Yang slowly emanated from Yunhua's body.

Chapter 960 Creation

The Taiyin and Taiyang divine patterns on Yunhua's body lit up, dazzlingly bright.

This sudden change instantly caught the attention of the yellow-haired bear and the black ox in the immortal abode. They stared in shock at the Yin-Yang power emanating from Yunhua.

"This is... the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram has advanced!?" the yellow-haired bear exclaimed in surprise.

"How is that possible? He clearly doesn't have the second volume of the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Map'!" the black-clad old ox exclaimed in shock.

The first volume of "The Nine Heavens of Crimson Light" contains nine levels: the three acquired levels, the three innate levels, and the three Purple Palace levels.

The second volume of "The Nine Heavens of Crimson Light" also contains nine layers: the three layers of myriad phenomena, the three layers of primordial spirit, and the three layers of returning to emptiness.

He couldn't believe it. For the past year and a half, Yunhua had stayed here without going anywhere else. How could he possibly have obtained the second volume of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram"?

Without a second volume, such a breakthrough should not have occurred.

"There's only one reason why he could break through without the second volume of the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram': he created the tenth level of the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' himself!!" The yellow-haired bear couldn't believe it when he spoke.

Because it's too fantastical; it's the strongest divine and demonic body-refining method in the Three Realms!

Was a minor cultivator at the Myriad Manifestations Realm able to complete one level of his cultivation?

How could such a minor cultivator accomplish something that even countless Dao Ancestors couldn't achieve?

"Did he really complete the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram'?" The black ox couldn't help but recall what Yun Hua had said when he asked the yellow-haired bear for the Three Longevity Daoist's body-refining technique.

At that time, he once said that he wanted to improve the Five Elements Diagram of the Taoist Sanshou to a level that was no less than that of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.

I used to think he was arrogant and bragging, but now it seems he wasn't bragging at all, and he really intends to do it.

"Don't be too optimistic. Even if he completes the 'Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram,' it might not be correct. If something unexpected happens, he might have to start all over again!" The yellow-haired bear was not blindly optimistic but rather very cautious.

Inside the cabin at this moment.

"Whoosh!!"

The Taiyin and Taiyang divine patterns on Yunhua's body grew brighter and brighter. In the later stages, they even directly crossed infinite space and connected with two supreme stars in the far-off depths of the void—the Sun Star and the Taiyin Star.

At the very first moment they connected, the Sun Star and the Moon Star simultaneously unleashed a burst of true solar fire and a burst of true lunar water, traversing countless spaces to reach Yunhua's side.

The advancement of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" is like this: each major realm advancement requires the assistance of the two supreme stars, the Sun Star and the Moon Star, to allow the divine body to transform and become stronger and stronger.

At this moment, water and fire descended, and Yunhua transformed back into her phoenix form, bathing in the true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon, further absorbing the power of the sun and the moon to transform.

"The true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon have appeared. Even if the 'Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram' that he completed himself is wrong, the general direction is correct!!" Seeing this, the yellow-haired bear breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If the overall direction is correct, then any minor errors can be corrected once the correct methods are obtained in the future.

The black ox beside him also breathed a sigh of relief, the tension in his heart dissipating by more than half: "The Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram truly lives up to its reputation as the number one divine and demonic body-refining method in the Three Realms. Each breakthrough is aided by the True Fire of the Sun and the True Water of the Moon. This kind of divine body will definitely be able to control the True Fire of the Sun and the True Water of the Moon in the future."

From the Myriad Manifestations Realm onwards, cultivators can nurture various natural forces within their bodies, including elements like cold energy, earth fire, and wind energy. After nurturing, these natural forces become incredibly powerful.

After being nurtured, Earth Fire and Cold Fiend can be elevated to Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water, and then further elevated to become True Sun Fire and True Moon Water.

Generally speaking, only celestial beings and gods have the potential to control the true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon, and even that is only a theoretical possibility.

However, once a practitioner of the "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" reaches the Heavenly God Realm, they will certainly be able to master the True Fire of the Sun and the True Water of the Moon.

"It's going to work!" Suddenly, the yellow-haired bear stopped.
