Chapter 21: Building an Altar!

  The beginning of heaven and earth was chaos. The beginning of chaos lies in the great Tao. However, the great Tao has three thousand, and the small Tao is countless. Chaos is vast and boundless, without light, rain, or clarity. There is no heaven and earth, no sun and moon, no years and months, and no living things. Yet, chaos does not remember the years, and in the midst of chaos, the strongest living being finally appeared, belonging to the son of the great Tao, Pangu the Great God... Li Yunxiao started from the chaos of Pangu opening up the sky, although his lectures did not have the grandeur of later generations' heavenly flowers blooming and golden lotus emerging. However, it naturally contained the sound of the great Tao, allowing all tribes to remember and comprehend. Time passed, and Li Yunxiao had lectured for three hundred years, and he also finished passing on the inherited great Tao.

  In the vast expanse of the universe, there exists a mysterious entity that I shall refer to as "fate". Fate is the destiny that governs all living beings in the universe, be it strong or weak. Those with strong fate can turn misfortune into good fortune, advance rapidly, and have everything go their way. On the other hand, those with weak fate will encounter great difficulties, suffer from unending disasters, and ultimately meet a miserable end.

  However, fate is not fixed and can change. One's individual fate, family fate, clan fate, and even the fate of an entire sect can all be transformed through cultivation and good deeds. The stronger one's cultivation and virtues, the stronger their fate will become.

  But fate is constantly in flux, and without replenishment, it will eventually dwindle away. If someone with weak fate kills another with strong fate, they may temporarily gain a boost to their own fate. However, such actions will ultimately harm their own fate due to the karmic consequences of destroying innocent lives and disrupting the environment.

  As Li Yunxiang's spirit merged with the universe, he began to expound on the mysteries of fate. Suddenly, a seven-colored cloud appeared in the sky, carrying an auspicious aura that resonated with Li Yunxiang's words. A stream of golden light representing virtuous deeds flowed towards him, signifying the heavens' reward for his efforts.

  This was because Li Yunxiang had successfully imparted the knowledge of fate to the inhabitants of the universe for the first time, earning him great merit and virtue. As a result, he received a reward from the heavens.

  Three hundred years later, when Li Yunxiang awakened from his meditation, he discovered that his dantian was filled with an abundance of virtuous energy.

  The crowd waited quietly, but Li Yunxiang looked at them with a serious expression. "Now I want to talk about the town's martial art of the Nine-Winged Golden Silkworm Clan - the Li Family Knife Classic, which is also my own creation." It can be divided into two parts: one is the mind-cultivating method, which is easy, and the other is the body-cultivating method, which is the Heavenly Knife True Classic. These two are indispensable. Cultivate the body first, cultivate the mind, and the heart will be correct, then there will be no fear of heaven and earth. Then one can strengthen oneself without stopping, and one's willpower will be eternal.

  Li Yunxiang first explained the easy classic to them, explaining its meaning so that everyone could understand the way of the gentleman and rectify their original heart. Later, he talked about the method of cultivating the Heavenly Knife. The Heavenly Knife is the ultimate way! It is the pinnacle of the cultivator's path. The source of the Heavenly Knife is dissolved in oneself, and as long as the Heavenly Knife does not perish, I will not perish. One's whole life is spent cultivating this one knife, and the ultimate goal is to achieve the realm of the Primordial Treasure, the Pangu Great God, and other Primordial Demons.

  The way of the Heavenly Knife is extreme in emotions and extreme in the Tao. With the Tao in hand and no worries in heart, one can walk to the extremes of heaven and earth and create a path with emotions... The mouth formula for cultivating the Heavenly Knife is simple and unadorned, but every sentence contains the Great Tao. Explaining its principles makes people understand the truth and understand why.

  As time passed, Li Yunxiang imparted the method of cultivating the knife classic to the crowd without reservation. This lecture also made Li Yunxiang's understanding of the Heavenly Knife way even deeper, and he subtly touched the edge of the next breakthrough.

  It took three hundred years for Li Yunxiao to finish explaining the part of Tiandao cultivation to everyone. This lecture lasted a total of nine hundred years, and all the clansmen had obvious epiphanies.

  "Alright, this sermon is over, go and cultivate." Li Yunxiang said, raising his hand to send dozens of golden lights flying towards the clan members who had the deepest understanding of the Tian Gang Dao. However, it was actually a soul defense divine artifact refined by Li Yunxiang using his Golden Immortal Primordial Spirit. Afterwards, he took Little Golden Silkworm Li Xunyao back into the cave, where he would go into seclusion to comprehend the inspiration gained from the sermon.

  All the Jiǔ Chì Jīn Cán clan entered a period of rapid cultivation and development. One hundred years later, Li Yunxiāo broke through, and this time's enlightenment made Li Yunxiāo's Tiān Dāo (Heavenly Knife) path even more perfect, especially his will was strengthened a lot.

  This time Li Yunxiang came out of the pass to plan the establishment of the Heaven and Earth Altar, leaving behind a foundation for the eternal prosperity of the Jiuchong Jincheng clan.

  The power of the altar comes from heaven and earth, and its structure is only known to some ancient magic gods. Moreover, the difficulty of casting it and the harsh conditions are also the reasons why it is difficult to cast. And Li Yunxiang knows how to build an altar because he has obtained part of the memory of the Heaven-Opening Axe Soul. What Li Yunxiang thinks is that after finishing his speech this time, he will use the body of the Golden Immortal he killed to roughly build the Heavenly Altar.

  Although it is impossible to cast the altar in one go now, using dozens of innate superior artifacts and adding dozens of innate golden immortal bodies can also build the embryo of the altar. The current Li Yunxiang of the Hundred Clans of the Desolate Expanse really has to thank them, if not for their help, just a few dozen superior innate spiritual treasures would have been enough to stump Li Yunxiang, let alone top-grade Golden Immortal bodies.

  After the altar embryo is built, it's just a matter of throwing in a body above the Tianxian level, which isn't difficult for the rapidly developing Hongyuan. After all, there are countless Hongyuan ferocious beasts whose bodies can reach the Tianxian realm, although the ferocious beasts' strength is somewhat stronger, but Li Yunxiang doesn't worry about it, this can also be considered a kind of training for the clan members.

  A gentleman should strive to be strong without ceasing, only those who have truly gone through the trials and tribulations of growth can be considered true strongmen. As a strongman, one must first possess a heart that is determined to become stronger for no reason at all.

  Li Yunxiang arrived at the square of the lecture, and began to operate according to the method of worshiping the altar in his memory. Only to hear the sound of worshiping echoing in the sky and earth, silent but shocking the soul. The heavenly music rose, and the power of worshiping formed a large virtual shadow of an altar in the void, reaching the sky and penetrating the earth, divided into nine layers. Its powerful breath made Li Yunxiang's soul tremble.

  Li Yunxiang finished reading, and threw the eighty-one pieces of superior Xiantian Lingbao into the void shadow altar. Suddenly, the entire altar seemed to have a soul, emitting a million feet of golden light, instantly forming a layer of heaven and earth altar embryo. Li Yunxiang knew that the crucial moment had arrived, and in an instant, he injected his nine drops of original source blood and part of his soul imprint into the core of the altar's origin. Then, he merged the corpses of dozens of Xiantian Golden Immortals he had killed into it, and the altar was finally formed.

  Only the altar emitted a dazzling blood-colored light, feeling so strange and trembling soul. At this time, only to see the sky suddenly appeared a closed black giant eye, just like a sleeping giant about to wake up. Just as the giant eye appeared, Li Yunxiang suddenly felt himself so small, like an ant, although unwilling, but could only feel deeply helpless. Seeing the giant eye was about to open, Li Yunxiang immediately put all the merits in his body into the Heaven and Earth Altar. After getting the golden light of merit, the Heaven and Earth Altar instantly converged all the light, transformed into a blood-colored thousand-meter altar falling on the square. And the giant eye in the sky also returned to the void because of the convergence of the altar, unable to find the target.
