Chapter 652: Chapter 514: Completing the Three Realms, Merit of the Heavenly Dao

Upon seeing the Great Dao Law Mountain restored, Wang Yang immediately realized that the core of the earth could not only replenish the primordial force of the Three Realms but also perfect the Great Dao of the Three Realms.

As for the cultivators in the Three Realms who had been stuck at the Golden Immortal stage, one was sitting in meditative contemplation within his cave dwelling, absorbing the essence of all things around him when, suddenly, a stroke of insight into the Dao dawned upon him.

Seizing this opportunity, his stagnant cultivation level began to climb steadily, and without much effort, he broke through to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

It was as effortless as drinking water, yet this Golden Immortal had been trapped at this stage for ten thousand years.

In another Immortal Palace, a Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal known as the Red Feet Immortal had just inspected the Three Realms. Suddenly, a flash of enlightenment struck him, revealing the mysteries of the Dao that had eluded him for so long.

He rushed back to the Celestial Palace, intending to use the Innate Spiritual Treasure left by Wang Yang to sever his corporeal form and achieve a breakthrough.

In the Underworld Hell, the Reincarnation King, who had guarded the cycle of reincarnation for countless years, urgently summoned Emperor Song to Reincarnation City.

For he had just grasped the Dao of Samsara and was preparing to break through to the Quasi-Saint level, enlisting Emperor Song to help protect the law while guarding the Samsara Well.

During this time, there were too many breakthroughs in cultivation levels within the Three Realms.

Especially those cultivators who had been at a certain stage for a long time; during this period, there were countless breakthroughs.

These breakthroughs directly enhanced the combat power of the Three Realms to a new level.

The peril caused by the fall of more than thirty Quasi-Saints ten years ago was gradually diminishing.

"This, this is impossible!"

Hongjun, wandering in the Chaos, found it hard to believe.

After returning to Purple Cloud Palace and explaining the situation to the various Saints, he set out to inspect the Three Realms.

But what he saw in the Three Realms surpassed all his expectations.

Desolate wastelands, once barren, now teemed with lush greenery; and once-austere ravines had transformed into Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

This transformation was not the most surprising aspect for Hongjun; what astonished him the most were the breakthroughs of the Red Feet Immortal and the Reincarnation King to Quasi-Saint.

With the Heavenly Dao incomplete, the difficulty of deriving the Great Dao from it was immense.

The Great Luo Pinnacles who had a chance to comprehend the Dao had already done so ten years ago on Golden Turtle Island.

After all, at that time, Golden Turtle Island had already gathered the finest resources of the Three Realms.

And now, within such a short span of time, two more Saints were about to emerge.

As Hongjun was pondering this, Wu Dang Holy Mother on Golden Turtle Island announced her retreat to make a breakthrough to Quasi-Saint.

Similarly, the Sand Monk in the New Buddha Temple was also preparing to break through to Quasi-Saint, as he had already understood his own Dao and could choose to break through.

The birth of these Quasi-Saints left Hongjun utterly stunned.

Immediately afterward, something else came to mind, and when he looked again into the depths of Chaos, his eyes held an indescribable significance.

"Alas, I never thought that in my lifetime, I would truly have the chance to witness the Heavenly Dao being restored," Daoist Ancestor Hongjun remarked, somewhat wistfully.

He realized that the major changes occurring in the Three Realms were a direct result of the previously incomplete Great Dao of the Three Realms slowly being mended.

In this process, the power of the Great Dao subtly diffused into the Three Realms, granting those Great Luo Pinnacles teetering on the edge of a breakthrough and seeking to understand the Great Dao their opportunity.

And Hongjun knew well that if the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms were indeed made whole, its significance to the Three Realms would be extraordinary.

Most notably, with the power of Fifty Great Dao, the breakthrough opportunities in the Three Realms would be far easier than before, and the Heavenly Dao would no longer begrudge the Saintly Fruit Position as it once had.

Furthermore, an intact Heavenly Dao could operate more effectively, without Hongjun needing to periodically inject the power of the Great Dao into it, or having to inspect the Three Realms on its behalf.

Thirdly, the Three Realms would no longer face the threat of annihilation.

Of course, this does not mean that the Three Realms, with a restored Heavenly Dao, would exist eternally. Rather, a restored Three Realms’ Heavenly Dao would be like a newborn infant.

Waiting for the Three Realms to fall apart would be too long, even for a Three-Step Sage like him to witness.

This thought in mind, Hongjun ceased his inspection of the Three Realms and swept toward the Origin Land.

Wang Yang continued to focus intently on the Heavenly Dao. He was not only intent on absorbing energy from it to enhance himself but was also curious to understand what the Heavenly Dao truly was.

After all, Wang Yang had his own Minor World, and within this Minor World, he was like the Heavenly Dao to the Three Realms.

But since Wang Yang had no idea how the Heavenly Dao operated, he thought it would be wise to learn from it.

"Wang Yang, the great changes to the Three Realms, the revival of spiritual energy, and the completion of the Great Dao, all these are your contributions!"

While Wang Yang was still unable to discern any clues after a long observation, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had already arrived and couldn’t wait to tell Wang Yang about the happenings in the Three Realms.

"What contribution have I made? I merely contributed a core of the earth," Wang Yang said with a smile, not taking credit for himself.

However, the more he knew about the wonders of the earth’s core, the more he felt its loss.

"Hahaha, your treasure is truly a creation defining marvel.

With such a treasure, the Three Realms may well endure for many an age!" Hongjun laughed.

Wang Yang did not respond; after all, this core of the earth, which had altered the Three Realms’ fated course, had come at a great price, and he had no idea what would be required to obtain another.

Besides, a core of the earth was akin to a condensed world. Using it meant reviving the Three Realms, but it also signified the dispersal of a world.

...

As they conversed, the core of the earth, enveloped in the Misty Qi, was finally being completely absorbed.
