Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 581 - 576

Lu Ren curled his lips, not bothering to argue with Ao Li about these things. Did he really have to tell her that once he entered the gateway, all problems would cease to be problems?

In any case, it's finally done!

Even though this tiny Inner Heaven and Earth Cosmos was inferior to those nascent bubble universes, it was ultimately born of his own creation. Taking this step forward would grant him unparalleled potential.

It might not even be limited to the Ancestral Witch.

With a subtle thought, Lu Ren made the Thick Earth's remnant body incarnate of the Ancestral Witch shudder slightly before descending and sitting steadily within the newly formed Inner Heaven and Earth Cosmos.

Ao Li watched the Ancestral Witch's remnant body, which bore quite a resemblance to Lu Ren, she opened her mouth to say something but ultimately muttered under her breath, "Lucky bastard, almost forgot about this."

Lu Ren gazed silently at the Ancestral Witch incarnation. Truth be told, even with only a remnant body, Lu Ren could feel the astonishing power contained within. This ancient, primal, grand aura interlinked with his current Ancestral Witch Bloodline, starting a kind of feedback process that rapidly strengthened the newly formed strand of Ancestral Witch Bloodline within him.

Lu Ren carefully sensed it; though called a bloodline, the Ancestral Witch Bloodline was actually a credential.

Just like the Taoism Fruit of Immortal Path, the Divine Format, it was a representation of status, containing highly mystical substances with dimensions evolving within.

Incredibly complex, it's entirely an elevation of dimensional status presented in the form of a strand of bloodline.

It always seems that at the end of countless paths, everything converges.

"Ancestral Witch!"

Lu Ren stretched his body, gazing at the vast emptiness with only an Ancestral Witch incarnation seated in this tiny Inner Heaven and Earth Cosmos, a void with nothing else.

But Lu Ren was quite satisfied, as having an Ancestral Witch incarnation in this place, especially one originating from the same source, Thick Earth, was more useful than other Innate Spiritual Treasures born of the cosmos.

This was his true foundation for achieving the path, his confidence for stepping onto Beidou, since his power was indeed limited, but the Ancestral Witch remnant body, which had war prowess equivalent to Peak of Earth Immortal Realm, definitely had the potential to unleash unbelievable might.

It's worth noting that when Lu Ren first observed the Thick Earth's Ancestral Witch remnant body in the Inner Image, its body was as massive as the Solar System!

He calculated slightly, realizing that less than three years had passed, and with still relatively ample time, Lu Ren's mood turned joyful.

The saying goes, after being fed and warm, one desires pleasurable pursuits; cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation. Constant intense cultivation and combat to elevate one's power is unwise; sometimes easing up can actually accelerate progress.

When Lu Ren turned his gaze to Ao Li, her eyebrows subtly moved. Watching Lu Ren shrink his body and transform into a regular human size, Ao Li felt a slight heaviness in her heart, yet there was an unusual excitement cloaked in perversity, anticipating the turbulent storm about to arrive.

Of course, she still maintained her stubbornness.

Ao Li's eyes sharpened as she fiercely stared at Lu Ren walking towards her.

"What do you intend to do, lowly human? Do you realize you're encroaching upon a higher dimensional being?"

No matter how Lu Ren's Inner Heaven and Earth might transform—even from Immortal Path Inner Realm to Inner Cosmos—the bold and versatile transition, under Lu Ren's operation, remained smooth and fluid, the constraints imposed on her not only were not weakened but actually strengthened considerably as his realm and power elevated.

Lu Ren, wearing a smile, walked in front of Ao Li. His form unexpectedly restored to about 1.8 meters, with the enhancement of his physique and increasingly precise control over subtleties accompanying the elevation of realm and power.

He reached out, pulling Ao Li into his embrace, then grandly scattered nearly a million words of everyday prose before coldly pushing Ao Li away.

His face appeared slightly pale, somewhat gaunt, as he said, "You demon dragon, I didn't expect your attainment to be so profound. You claim you're not a Celestial Immortal! How can I, a top-tier Peak Great Witch expert, end up in such a predicament!"

Ao Li, her face flushed, chiseling a dismissive expression said, "Celestial Immortal? Do you think I'm just another ordinary fish?"

Lu Ren's expression changed slightly, then he tentatively inquired, "So, you're a Golden Immortal?"

Ao Li glanced at Lu Ren with a mysterious smile, choosing silence. Although Lu Ren suspected this but wasn't certain, if Ao Li were indeed a Golden Immortal, how could she have perished in the True Dragon Secret Realm, only breaking free when Lu Ren reactivated the secret realm?

What kind of formidable adversary must have relentlessly pushed a True Dragon into such a predicament until, at last, they found themselves destroyed, leaving only a trace of True Spirit to survive within the Dragon Pill?

When Lu Ren posed this question, Ao Li's rather satisfied demeanor quickly turned somber; she cast a light glance at Lu Ren.

"Right now, you're still too weak. Knowing too much isn't beneficial to you. Understand that this world is vast… just like here, where the strongest born are quite brilliant, comparable to your extreme Golden Immortal.

But ultimately, no matter the strength, it falls upon individual understandings of the Tao and realm, the laws of heaven and earth, energy transformations, even dimensional comprehension; such components construct a considerable tier of power. Many paths seek similar ultimate goals despite differing paths to achieve them, reaching the destination eventually."

Lu Ren pondered, carelessly tossing the microphone nearly hitting Ao Li's cheek, inciting her anger.

"Are you courting death?!"

"I think you're the one courting death!"

Three days later, Lu Ren emerged from his Inner Heaven and Earth before he could relish the ecstatic surge in power from condensing the Ancestral Witch Bloodline. Here, he was attempting a deeper understanding of the inherent wisdom when he suddenly realized a source of significant threat hovering above him.

Lu Ren, puzzled, looked up against the cave ceiling he had manually excavated. Inspecting the smooth rock surface, he was about to release his enhanced perception to investigate further when abruptly a thick golden lightning, barrel-sized, pierced the numerous restrictions he'd set over three days with devastating force.

It also carried a destructive power at its peak, completely dismantling the prohibitory array he had meticulously woven over three days.

Immediately afterward, it unleashed a power beyond imagination, striking Lu Ren's body in an instant.

In a flash, the yellow Earth Witch Power instinctively defended him, covering his exterior and dispersing the descending lightning force.

As the thick lightning dissipated, electrical serpents still slithered through the air, while countless sparks danced across Lu Ren's form and fissures appeared upon the ground.
