"Transfiguration and Freedom?"
The main body sat cross-legged in the waterfall pool, while the Divine Split once again entered the Great Freedom Heaven.
It was only at this moment that Li Boyang fully showcased the strength of [Wandering God and Controlling Qi].
This is the ultimate expression of Primordial Spirit Power.
Achieving the true Divine Power of transformation into thousands, reaching instantly.
Especially in the Great Freedom Heaven evolved from the Sea of Alaya Consciousness, Li Boyang truly achieved divine travel across the heavens.
—Where the thought goes, heaven and earth are close, all demons tremble, all evils submit.
Even though Bosun Celestial Demon chose to remain completely silent in this situation, Li Boyang ultimately caught its "flaw."
Whoosh!
At this moment, the Great Freedom Heaven fully manifested.
Those Demon Kings who had hidden early in the present world were trembling even more.
Because the Great Freedom Heaven is unlike the Secret Realm Cave Heaven opened by other Great Celestial Gods.
Though its scale is not large yet, in essence, it is a "Seed of the World" equivalent to the present world and the Netherworld.
With the passage of time and the evolution of the path, the Great Freedom Heaven will sooner or later evolve into a complete, independent world with positive circulation.
By then, the Great Freedom Heaven will truly be equivalent to the present world and the Netherworld, becoming the third world.
As for why the Great Freedom Heaven is so special?
If we scrutinize it carefully, there are actually many reasons.
The first one, undoubtedly, is the "Wushan’s Power" stolen by Zhuang Zhou.
The essence of [Wushan Tripod] is the [Heart Image Barrier] left behind by the second Witch King, an unparalleled power capable of Refining Illusion into Truth.
With the power of [Wushan Tripod], even the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches can shield Li Boyang’s perception and divination.
From this, it can be seen that [Wushan Tripod] may not be the strongest Divine Tripod among the Nine Tripods, but it is certainly the most special and mysterious.
Then there’s Zhuang Zhou’s demise.
Yes, although Zhuang Zhou, through Dreaming Enlightenment, pulled the dream into reality.
But if we really scrutinize it, the original Zhuang Zhou has indeed fallen, and Bosun also sank into silence because of this.
The demise of a Pathfinder is enough to establish the "eternal existence" essence of the Great Freedom Heaven.
Just like the [Celestial Emperor’s Capital] falling with the Celestial Emperor.
"Eternal existence" will become the foundational attribute of such secret realms.
However, the key intervention that transformed the Great Freedom Heaven from a Secret Realm into a "Seed of the World" is Li Boyang, the Tao Ancestor.
In fact, Li Boyang has been pondering a question for a long time—how were the present world and the Netherworld born?
These two worlds, one living and one dead, are like two sides of Yin and Yang.
But on this seemingly perfect surface, Li Boyang saw a certain sharp contradiction and conflict.
Especially after the Six Paths of Reincarnation system was established, the two worlds have long been interpenetrating and influencing each other, with any careless mistake easily triggering a world-class catastrophe.
In this context, there must be a strong buffer zone between the present world and the Netherworld.
There’s a widely known fact in the mathematical system that "triangles" are always the most stable shapes.
This principle remains valid at the world level.
Then to maintain the balance of the Yin and Yang Realms for a long time, can a third world, or even more worlds, be created artificially?
While perhaps it cannot fundamentally resolve the genesis of catastrophes, it can maximize the tolerance for errors.
The emergence of the Great Freedom Heaven is thus an opportunity, an opportunity for Li Boyang to attempt to evolve the heavens.
So during this time, rather than saying Li Boyang was searching for Bosun Celestial Demon, he was pondering how to create a new world.
Only when he fully confirmed the feasibility of his hypothesis did he allocate some energy to search for that Bosun Celestial Demon.
[Since the goal is to evolve the heavens, one cannot ignore such a significant unstable factor.]
With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Boyang once again manifested the posture of Primordial Celestial Demon.
Just like when he created the [Creation Jade Disc], the blazing Eight Trigrams Furnace appeared in the center of the world out of thin air.
Whoosh!
The Samadhi True Fire in the furnace transformed from reality to illusion, rendering the entire Great Freedom Heaven a sea of red.
In the subconscious of all beings, everyone seemed to see that familiar-looking Tripod Furnace.
Among them, the Demon Kings who had escaped into the present world saw it most clearly.
For the vast majority of people, the Samadhi True Fire in their subconscious was merely a fleeting illusion.
Some people didn’t even have time to see what it was before they missed it in a daze.
Only those floating between the Great Freedom Heaven and the present world, the Demon Kings.
Seemed to personally feel the Samadhi True Fire pouring out of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, unable to resist letting out a miserable wail.
...........................
"Bosun, aren’t you going to appear?"
Disregarding the feelings of those Demon Kings, Li Boyang just blandly stared at the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
And then, as if in response to Li Boyang’s words.
The Samadhi True Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace surged suddenly, and then a terrifying face emerged.
That face was neither human nor beast, yet its head bore a pair of enormous, curved horns.
Upon manifesting its form, a golden halo and flame patterns vaguely emerged behind it, and incomplete snakes of flame surrounded its body.
"How did you discover me?"
Despite being trapped in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Bosun remained unperturbed.
"You were too greedy, greedy enough to even defy the original purpose of the Great Freedom Heaven’s birth..."
As Bosun pondered thoughtfully, Li Boyang continued.
"The Demon Kings are your avatar, all beings are your furnace, yet you even dispersed your will across the entire Great Freedom Heaven."
"Are you trying to become the ’Tao’ of the Great Freedom Heaven?"
"No wonder you call yourself the Celestial Demon, such courage and boldness are indeed astonishing."
Just as Li Boyang stated, Bosun’s silence indeed involved Zhuang Zhou’s factors, but wasn’t it also a voluntary choice by Bosun?
During the gap period when Zhuang Zhou died and Bosun was severely injured, Bosun distributed its will throughout the Great Freedom Heaven.
It sought to replace the operational rules of the Great Freedom Heaven with its own will, becoming the "Dao" of this world.
In this process, the ability of [Wushan Tripod] to refine illusion into truth played a crucial role.
Or rather, if the Great Freedom Heaven did not contain the power of [Wushan Tripod], Bosun would not have dared to gamble so entirely.
"I am merely executing your unfinished Tao!"
After a brief silence, Bosun’s booming voice echoed in the Great Freedom Heaven.
"You clearly have the ability to transform into the Heavenly Tao, to rule over all beings..."
"Yet you abandon becoming the Heavenly Tao that stands above all beings for that elusive path of transcendence."
"Although I do not have your ability, this Great Freedom Heaven is also not the present world, here I will replicate the path you did not finish!"
Upon hearing this, Li Boyang laughed, a laugh mixed with ease and disdain.
"As a Pathfinder, you spend your life imitating the paths of others, which is somewhat too sad."
"Zhuang Zhou attempted Dreaming Enlightenment, refining illusion into truth, to achieve individual transcendence."
"You imitate his path, yet greedily desire to turn all things to your own use, transforming Great Freedom into Transfiguration and Freedom."
"Similarly, you try to mimic my process of certifying the Heavenly Tao, yet are unwilling to release a shred of vitality."
"The Tao begets fifty, heaven evolves forty-nine, leaving one missing, do you think this is but a whim of kindness from me?"
Seeing Bosun’s somewhat perplexed expression, Li Boyang continued to laugh.
"No, if all cause and effect in this world are locked tightly and immutable..."
"Then there is no variability, and without variability, there is no vitality, without vitality, naturally there is only lifeless silence."
"You are merely creating a fate where order is rigidified, rules are harsh, and devoid of vitality, that is not the true path of a creator."
"Zhuang Zhou deemed you his Heart Demon, a personification of extreme evil birthed from his repeated attempts at certifying the Tao."
"But in my view, you are not Zhuang Zhou."
"Do you think my guess is correct? Always trying to take shortcuts, Evil Demonic Path?"
