Hehe.

In the shadows, it seemed someone chuckled lightly, as though saying, Brother, you still revealed a flaw.

The power in that gaze suddenly surged, like a desperate gamble, both projections across endless time and space—who would lose to whom?

But in the next moment, this gaze was "suppressed" by a projection of the Void using the Void Realm.

He gently crushed the gaze in his hand, leaving only the most essential part, turning it into a mark to lock onto someone's true form.

Indeed, everyone here is a projection.

Yet this is my dojo.

After doing all this, his figure also became increasingly blurry, the arrangements from early years completely cleared, the loss of power even more terrifying than he expected.

He looked down and saw Ji Jingqiu below, but did nothing and vanished into the Sea of Realms.

This area returned to normal, as the stream of time surged forward, pulling everything back on track.

Within the Void Realm, everyone continued their work, unaware of the slightest anomaly.

Even the battling foes, in the throes of life and death, did not notice anything, with the outcome as predetermined...

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, the jade orb spinning before him, completely controlled at its core.

He looked up, wondering if this was driving the wolf to swallow the tiger, or driving the tiger to devour the wolf?

Everything that happened seemed to be intentionally perceived by him.

"After all, it exceeded expectations," Ji Jingqiu murmured.

He recollected the past events, finding the source of that familiar feeling.

The gaze before felt to him like the distant surveillance from the All Phenomena God Lord in the Great Universe.

At that time, the All Phenomena God Lord was near Chaos, his main consciousness dormant, leaving only the instinct of the divine.

A Sword Light leaped before him, flickering intensely, hastily transmitting:

"Did you just call out the name 'Void'?!"

"Is this the Void Realm? Why didn't He bring disaster upon you?!"

"No, what I need to ask is, where did you steal 'Ancient Flow Manifest True Origin' from?!"

The Sword Light looked at the familiar Ji Jingqiu, yet felt a sense of strangeness.

How long had it been asleep?!

Ji Jingqiu said nothing, seeming still lost in thought.

The Sword Light circled around Ji Jingqiu repeatedly, its glow flickering erratically, suspecting this kid was deliberately posturing, yet lacking evidence.

Finally, Ji Jingqiu snapped out of his daze yet remained silent, using his finger as a sword, executing a sword form, which, despite the sparse Sword Intent, matched the fundamental essence.

Merely by ongoing practice, one day he would attain the true form, and even without the correct Secret Technique and Sword Intent match, at least three to five parts of the power could be achieved!

Apart from the first and second swords.

Ji Jingqiu even performed the third sword, "Flowers Blooming on the Other Shore," in front of it...

The Sword Light suddenly grew radiant, its True Saint Level aura bursting forth!

Yet it quickly succumbed to the suppression by the Heaven and Earth Dao outside the cave.

This place, being exceedingly close to the Dharma Realm Dao Sea, made the Sword Light back down; it didn't want to clash with the lingering Dao Rhyme of the Void.

The commotion inside the cave also drew the gaze of Shou Ji and others.

Shou Ji even transmitted a reminder, "Junior Brother Ji, the Void Realm cannot currently contain True Saint Level power, which might attract a heavenly disaster, please be cautious."

After addressing these concerns, Ji Jingqiu contemplated in his heart.

Neither the jade orb's potential danger nor the appearance of the Void was sensed by Shou Ji or anyone else?

This level of power truly is unimaginable.

"You brat! Stop pretending! Tell me, where exactly did you steal from, did you take advantage under my name while I slept to sneak into the 'Human World Pavilion'?"

The Sword Light hovered before Ji Jingqiu, striking a blow to awaken any feigned confusion.

Ji Jingqiu sneered, "Human World Pavilion? It was long ago swallowed up by the Pantheon and became just a 'branch'."

The Sword Light flickered, seemingly dim for a moment, but quickly recovered, "No matter, as long as I'm here, my true self will eventually return to correct history!"

"You're the Sword Master's anchor in existence?"

"Sword Master?"

The Sword Light appeared slightly puzzled, sensing Ji Jingqiu had engaged with the Taoist Inheritance it left when it last awoke, yet there seemed to be some differences.

"My true self's Taoist name is Cang Jian."

Ji Jingqiu guessed the Sword Light lacked memory of the Returning to Truth Road, but still asked:

"Do you know the Returning to Truth Road?"

"The fragment the Master of the Nether Mansion brought back? Naturally aware."

"Do you have memories of your true self entering it?"

"None," the Sword Light suddenly said, "Did you enter the Returning to Truth Land and see my true form inside?!"

"Accurately speaking, a Clone," Ji Jingqiu corrected.

The Sword Light was delighted, "I see! You must have learned some Sword Intent and form during your duel with my true form? Tsk tsk, Ji boy, you didn't learn them completely, I'll personally teach you another day."

Ji Jingqiu chose not to disclose details of the inner situation.

He mainly feared it would get agitated again.

Like "Brother World Venerable" or something.

It would definitely not admit it.

"Did you use the Primordial Palace's approach?"

The Sword Light gradually grasped the truth, the feeling of losing control dissipating, regaining a sense of command over the situation.

Ji Jingqiu steered the conversation toward his Heavenly Venerate Road, sharing his thoughts.

Upon hearing Ji Jingqiu's ideas, the Sword Light instinctively opposed.

The practice of gathering real things to fill the illusory Inner Heaven and Earth wasn't unusual.

But if it happened elsewhere, it might be acceptable; this place is one of the Great Dao Ancestral Lands, the Void's dojo!

Such conduct is invariably entwined with Karma, unafraid of retribution when That One returns?
