My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1232 - 1184: Golden Pill of Chaos Is Formed (Combined Chapter)_2
```
...
After traversing more than half the Star Sea and encountering the Mystic Immortal Boat civilization hidden within the ocean of relics, Li Fan finally found a breakthrough and went into hiding.
This whole process took Li Fan about a year’s time.
And because the flow of time varies in different regions of the Star Sea, in the Xuanhuang World, less than half a year had passed.
In that half-year, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals had already recovered from the great turmoil in the Xuanhuang World that day.
The twisted White Mist Barrier between Heaven and Earth had also returned to its original state.
The cultivators’ memories of that disaster were also gradually becoming vague, as if everything had been reset to the beginning.
In the Small World affiliated with the Xuanhuang World, within the Sacred Dynasty Daqi, the changes over the past half year could be described as transformational.
[Transformational] was not just an adjective. In the sky of the Sacred Dynasty Daqi, there truly appeared a miraculous phenomenon that could compete with the sun and moon for brilliance.
It was five vague halos at the center, surrounded by an increasing number of sparkling stars.
They were clearly visible even during the day.
At night, it completely overshadowed the original starlight of Daqi.
Folklore said that those five rings represented the five direct disciples of His Majesty the Emperor.
The stars that emerged around the rings symbolized the many talents emerging within Daqi.
This rumor was not without basis, as there was ample evidence.
Just three days earlier, everyone in Daqi witnessed a sparkling star near the rings suddenly burst forth with a light thousands of times brighter than usual.
It then transformed into a beam of light, shooting straight toward the Saint Emperor Seat in the Sacred Capital City.
The phenomenon continued for half a day, and that column of light which pierced Heaven and Earth eventually vanished without a trace.
Afterwards, people realized that the star in the sky had also disappeared and descended to the mortal world.
If a disciple of the Emperor could cause such a miraculous scene, what about the Emperor himself?
Following the Emperor’s display of martial prowess half a year ago, which caused the world to be in turmoil, people once again stirred up discussions and speculations about the Emperor’s powerful strength, of course, only in private.
In the entire Sacred Dynasty Daqi, the worship and trust in the Emperor had almost reached a terrifying level of Unity of Thousands.
And at this moment, the peerless Emperor in the hearts of the Daqi people was staring with furrowed brows at a white-haired young man sitting in meditation before him.
Contrary to popular belief, after the beam of light believed to be the descent of a star from heaven fell three days ago, Saint Emperor Li Ping felt no joy whatsoever.
Instead, he was overcome with astonishment, anger, and wariness.
Because he realized the true nature of the light beam immediately: outside of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, one of the giant Cave Heavens that Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms had painstakingly transported out of the Daqi Miniature World to pull the world rapidly through the Void...
had exploded.
And the culprit behind this catastrophe was in Daqi, right in this Sacred Capital City!
Yet before this, Li Ping had been completely unaware of the incident! How could he, who prided himself as the Heavenly Emperor, accept this?
Over the past half year, while the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was busy stabilizing the calamity and soothing the people’s hearts, Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms worked day and night restlessly, transporting several Cave Heavens from the Xuanhuang World to here.
Perhaps it was because the tremendous power from the Star Sea shook the Xuanhuang World, which made the transport of these Cave Heavens much easier for Bai Hua. Even so, half a year of sleepless cultivation had nearly drained Bai Hua to the point of collapse, and unable to endure any longer, he went to heal in the Five Elements Cave Heaven.
Unexpectedly, a catastrophe of a Cave Heaven exploding occurred.
Daoist of the Hundred Blossoms looked extremely troubled, and could no longer care for his convalescence, immediately leaving the Five Elements Cave Heaven.
By this time, Li Fan had already identified the real culprit behind this incident.
He was about to take action when a single sentence from Yin Shangren shifted his shock to joy, and his anger dissipated!
"Someone..."
"Has successfully cultivated [The Primordial Golden Pill]!"
Even Saint Emperor Li Ping, upon hearing this statement from Yin Shangren, couldn’t help but be violently shaken, momentarily losing his composure.
The Golden Pill of Chaos, the realm following [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation], was a part of the New New Method and an important element in Li Ping’s plan to overturn the Inheritance Celestial System.
This first step was especially difficult to take. Once taken, it would bring about many unimaginable changes.
When Li Ping gathered Yin Shangren to study the New New Method in Daqi, he truly didn’t have much expectation in his heart and approached it with a try-and-see attitude.
```
After all, the Tianzun New Method system has stood for ten thousand years, unshakable.
How could its foundation be so easily destroyed?
Li Ping anticipated that the derivation of the New New Method would, at the very least, take decades or even centuries.
Yet he never expected that, just over half a year later, Yin Shangren would give him a tremendous surprise.
Simultaneously, doubts and alerts arose in Li Fan’s heart.
He did not start to question immediately but shifted his gaze from the black-haired youth to Yin Shangren, waiting for his answer.
Yin Shangren didn’t pay any attention to Li Ping but was just intoxicated in admiring the youth who was in the midst of cultivation, full of admiration.
"The aura of the world..."
Li Ping’s gaze slightly furrowed.
The black-haired youth gave him a very strange feeling.
Indeed, he was one of the few children who had built his cultivation through the [Art of Self-Founded Cultivation], and now he had indeed completed a realm breakthrough.
That fluttering, elusive strength fluctuation made Li Ping feel a bit puzzled.
However, the vitality of the youth was too weak.
It was nothing like the vigorous and thriving state one would expect after a realm breakthrough; instead, it was more like a candle in the wind, dangerously close to extinguishing.

His life seemed as if it could completely vanish in the next second.
After a long time, as an expression of pain surfaced on the black-haired youth’s face, Yin Shangren sighed deeply, "To snatch the world’s creation with one’s body...
"How exceedingly difficult is that? Even though he has achieved the Golden Pill of Chaos, he still suffers backlash. If he cannot bear it, the only path left is death and the dissolution of his path."
Li Ping automatically glossed over the latter half of the statement, focusing his attention on the first part of Yin Shangren’s words.
"To snatch the world’s creation with one’s body? Is that the key to achieving the Golden Pill of Chaos?" Li Ping asked.
Yin Shangren remained silent for a while before finally answering, "You have also seen the situation. Indeed, there is a breakthrough, but the risk involved is almost certain death..."
"The New New Method should not take such a path."
Yin Shangren recounted to Li Fan the process by which he had serendipitously gained enlightenment of the Golden Pill of Chaos.
"What is Primordial Chaos?"
"Building Foundation with Me involves using one’s complete self as the foundation for cultivation. As a person exists within the world, if one seeks to advance further, one must seek answers from the world, from Heaven and Earth."
"To snatch the world’s creation with one’s body is not about directly devouring Heaven and Earth like the Law Transmission New Method."
"Although, the actual effect caused is almost the same," Yin Shangren suddenly said, abruptly stopping his words.
Looking up at the sky, which no longer had any afterimage of that cave heaven, Yin Shangren continued, "To achieve Primordial Chaos is not about stealing specific materials or energy; it’s about snatching the world’s ’Creation.’"
"The Tao has fifty, the Heavens convey forty-nine. Because of the one that escapes, the world thus has extra variables, and therefore, Heaven and Earth can remain vibrant indefinitely through endless years."
"But if that escaping one is taken away..."
"That beam of light just now in Heaven and Earth, that was their fate."
"Of course, part of it was my doing as well. Without external intervention, it might take nearly a century for changes to manifest. I did it to give this child a hand; otherwise, with a mere Foundation Establishment Physic, he would be delusional to covet Heaven and Earth—even just one cave heaven—his consciousness would get lost in the strife of the Cave Heaven World."
Yin Shangren glanced at Li Ping without any intent to apologize.
"He has thought of what I could not; this young one is indeed incredible."
...
From Yin Shangren’s speech, Li Ping also had a vague understanding of the so-called [The Primordial Golden Pill].
As the master of the Daqi World, having observed and come into closer contact with many a Small World, he could better grasp the meaning behind Yin Shangren’s words.
"The world is like a human body; the idea of snatching the world’s creation to achieve one’s own Golden Pill of Chaos is indeed feasible."
"However..."
Li Ping pondered for a moment and then secretly shook his head in denial inside his mind.
"This step is too great!"
"For a human body to consume a world... Even I may not be able to accomplish it."
"The New New Method should be a common law that everyone can cultivate."
