Void Realm.

The crowd who had witnessed a Heavenly Venerable proving the Dao gradually dispersed, with some continuing to battle, others searching for resources, and still others refining Dao Rhyme…

Having seen the gist, did they really need to wait for that person to completely break through before continuing their own affairs?

Everyone was very busy! Pausing their precious time to observe the Dao was already a significant sign of respect towards that Heavenly Monarch.

With such a grand cosmic structure in that person's Inner Universe, the upcoming breakthrough was simply a matter of course, and it wasn't as if they were their own kin, so why would they need to worry?

But gradually.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

The people of the Void Realm, who originally continued with their affairs, once again paused, their expressions turning serious.

Everyone lifted their heads.

No matter where they were, they could all see a blazing sun hanging in the sky, its light overbearing and fierce, enough to burn mountains and boil seas, purging all the sinister evil across the universe, driving away all wickedness.

Yet a serene moon lay beside it, its glow soft, but it was neither dependent nor a foil; instead, it shared the limelight with the blazing sun that dominated Heaven and Earth, and the moonlight tempered the fierce sharpness that incinerated everything…

The scenery with the sun and moon in the sky, surrounded by the Group Stars, had yet to dissipate. Instead, it was further illustrating the two Dao origins of Taiyin and the Sun.

Why, after so long, had this celestial phenomenon that communicated across the heavens not yet dissipated?!

With the cosmic structure crafted by this person, could there actually be a failure to break through?

If not failure…

Could it be that it hasn't ended?

...

At this moment, the universe prototype, not yet fully developed, was expanding, manifesting the only real universe behind Ji Jingqiu, hazy and illusory, yet appearing extremely real under the reflection of the heavens and stars.

Meanwhile.

Ji Jingqiu's Inner World was also undergoing a cosmic transformation, manifesting in the cosmic starry sky.

From the Bodhi Pure Land to the entire sky of blood rain, and the Wuwang Mountain range depicted by Ji Jingqiu…

Just as Ji Jingqiu began to select two realms for integration.

The jade bead formed from the Returning to Truth fragment suddenly shot out a divine glow, the light of reality locked onto the Wuwang Mountain range beneath the Bitter Sea, Guiding it toward the Inner Heaven and Earth.

Deep within the Wuwang Mountain range, there was a rumbling resonance with the Returning to Truth jade bead, rising as it began to ascend at an astonishing speed until brilliant sun and moon, like divine birds clad in glowing clouds, spiraled and traversed between the mountains.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze focused.

The step that left him most without a clue was achieved with the proactive cooperation of the Returning to Truth jade bead!

It was truly unexpected; indeed, there was a tight connection between it and the Wuwang Mountain!

Most importantly, did the Imagined Creation of the Wuwang Mountain, having endured the scouring of the Bitter Sea Water, truly possess the divine grace of a real Wuwang Mountain?

Otherwise, why would the Returning to Truth jade bead be so proactive?

Perhaps there was a connection between the Bitter Sea and Wuwang Mountain…

Ji Jingqiu's heart stirred with emotion, gazing far into the distance.

In the vast universe, a Divine Mountain rose from the ground, becoming the center of Heaven and Earth Universe, surrounded by the sun and moon, adorned with Group Stars behind it.

Yet most of this Divine Mountain remained shrouded in mist, even he couldn't see it clearly, except for the highest peak, which seemed to have stepped into reality.

With a movement of thought, Ji Jingqiu, in his spiritual form, stepped to the mountain peak.

It resembled the Inverted Mountain he had seen in the depths of the Nether Sea not long after breaking through to Heavenly King, where a dilapidated Gate stood, neither a temple nor a Taoist temple, buried under the dust.

Ji Jingqiu stood before the gate, head raised towards the slanted hanging plaque, which bore two characters:

[Burning Incense]

Ji Jingqiu's gaze intensified.

Not "Wuwang," but "Burning Incense"?

For whom is the incense to be burned, and what incense is to be burned?

Ji Jingqiu's thoughts surged, stepping toward the threshold, where perhaps all answers lay behind the gate.

Yet he was stopped by an invisible barrier.

This was his Inner World, and also his Inner Heaven and Earth, a realm any cultivator should have absolute control over.

Ji Jingqiu's thoughts fluctuated: Was the visualization incomplete, with no world behind the door, or had this mountain detached from his control?

He looked at the plaque again, an idea forming in his mind.

Perhaps, only by burning incense can one enter this gate…

Ji Jingqiu took a deep look at this portal, acknowledging that there was no time for it now, he could only wait to research it after breaking through to Heavenly Venerable.

He turned away, his Spirit God returning, seizing the vast Dao Rhyme between Heaven and Earth, and immediately deployed the Heavenly Technique, word commanding law, decreeing to the world, establishing the final structure of this universe—

A vast ocean descended from the heavens!

One was the Bitter Sea, the other the Nether Sea,

Ji Jingqiu used the True Spirit Pool as the foundation to bear the projection of the Bitter Sea and Nether Sea Water, only to see the vast, undulating blue waves reflecting the sun, moon, and Group Stars arrayed around the Wuwang Divine Mountain.

The waters of the two seas were distinctly different, not blending, but each occupying half and clearly demarcated with the Wuwang Mountain body as the axis.

Suddenly.

The Wuwang Mountain rumbled and moved, its foundation unstable, with an implicit risk of being toppled by the surging sea waters.

Ji Jingqiu was not surprised, murmuring to himself, "Is it still insufficient that the Imagined Creation of the Wuwang Mountain, plus the Returning to Truth fragment, cannot serve as the foundation of this universe?"

Just as the thought arose, a Bodhi Tree Seed had already entered the depths of the mountain's heart, shooting roots, and sprouting, with roots madly growing downward, instantly penetrating the earth veins and spreading across the mountain's roots and water veins; the tree trunk rapidly soared upward, soon becoming an awe-inspiring Divine Tree that reached up to the sky and connected with the earth.

The Bodhi Tree emerged in the mountains, seemingly becoming the "backing" of the Wuwang Mountain, with its dragon-like roots deeply embedded in the base of the Wuwang Mountain, firmly pinning the entire Divine Mountain into the Void, stabilizing the wavering mountain as fixed as a rock, halting its tendency to topple.

The canopy that covered the sky opened a celestial curtain, with Group Stars hanging above it.
