Chapter 547: Breakthrough in Establishing Dao, Enlightening the Primordial_2
And my own sense of the Way of Domain integrated with the dead Hong Ze Domain, caused life to stir within this region of Domain. Could this not also be Primordial?
Only, the Domain of this region is not Primordial due to the Intent of the Great Path, but rather to my own Way of Domain!
And Xu Yan sensed it as well. The mingling of the Hong Ze Domain with the Land of Imperishable was also some form of Primordial. Using the Hong Ze Domain as a bridge, he finally, at this moment, understood the Law of Primordial.
"So that's how it is, I have finally understood the profound mysteries of the Law of Primordial, the Primordial Great Path, advancing the Great Path. This is the stairway to cultivation, this is pushing open the door that steps onto the Great Path!"
In Xu Yan's mind emerged the scene and the Cultivation Technique of the Primordial Realm imparted by his master, his heart clear as a mirror, fully comprehending it now.
Boom!
At a certain moment, his Way of Domain that merged with the Hong Ze Domain instantly returned. At this instant, the returning Way of Domain seemed to have gained something extra, which was a bit of the Will of the Domain drawn from the Hong Ze Domain after integration.
In the still Domain, Will of the Domain still existed.
But such Will of the Domain is vague and rootless, fleeting and drifting, carrying with it the aura of death.
For Xu Yan, the Will of the Dead Domain absorbed added some elements of the Dao Principles of death to his own Domain, and where there is life in the Domain, there naturally is death.
"Yin Yang, reincarnation, so that's how it is!"
A smile crossed Xu Yan's face.
At this moment, his Domain was truly complete with the entirety of life and death, the cycle of Yin Yang, the endless loops of reincarnation.
"My strength has grown again. If I use the Sword of Death to kill a Minor Heaven and Earth Master, wouldn't it be easy?"
Xu Yan raised his hand, and a sword appeared in his palm.
A sword of greyish-white, without any sharp Sword Intent or edge. Yet upon close scrutiny, it was as if death itself was seen!
This was a Sword of Death!
On touch, death is certain, extinguishing the spark of life!
"When will there be a chance to test my Sword of Death? If my strength is formidable enough, to silence the Domain with one sword strike would be an ordinary affair."
Xu Yan was brimming with excitement.
At last, he had perceived a new sword, the Sword of Death!
"The Hong Ze Domain shows no anomalies?"
The sword in Xu Yan's hand disappeared as he surveyed the four directions of the Domain, somewhat astonished.
This Domain seemed to carry a sense of ominousness—as if there might be some potential dangers or unknown peculiarities.
Surprisingly, against all expectations, there was no danger at all.
The Minor Heavenly Eye gazed upon the Domain: vast dead silence, no signs of life, nor any dangers. Xu Yan's gaze then turned to the ground below; if there was anything hidden in the Domain, it could only be deep underground.
"I have found the Hong Ze Domain and gained some rewards, furthermore, I have broken through to the Establishing Dao Realm, but how should this Domain be dealt with?"
Xu Yan found himself in a dilemma.
A dead Domain also holds great value and, although desolate, there is a possibility for it to regain vitality.
Neither his Prime Tortoise Carapace nor the Storage Divine Artifact refined by Fang Hao could contain this vast Domain.
"Perhaps, find a way to draw it back to the Great Wilderness?"
The Imperishable Temple was also searching for the Hong Ze Domain; they must have some scheme in mind. If the Domain were simply abandoned here, it would sooner or later fall into the hands of the Imperishable Temple.
And if he were to draw it back to the Great Wilderness, it would take an inconsiderable amount of time, given how very, very far the Hong Ze Domain was from the Great Wilderness.
Moreover, Xu Yan's journey into the Land of Imperishable was not only for the Hong Ze Domain itself, it was to venture through the Land of Imperishable, traverse it, and comprehend the Martial Arts.
"Drawing the Hong Ze Domain back to the Great Wilderness would inevitably create a great commotion along the way, making it easy for the Imperishable Temple to detect!"
Xu Yan frowned, momentarily at a loss for how to handle this Domain.
Destroying it would, after all, be a pity!
"Enough, let's see how my junior brothers are doing, and then consult with the Azure Sea Turtle on how to deal with this Domain."
Xu Yan did not linger on the issue any longer and began searching for Meng Chong and the other two.
The Domain was vast; since Meng Chong and the other two had each gone in different directions, they were naturally extremely distant from one another.
Xu Yan was not in a hurry. As he walked through the air, he looked for Meng Chong and the other two while observing the Domain, as somewhere within the Domain, there might be something.

"Eh, what's this?"
Suddenly, Xu Yan discovered a pitch-black entrance below, one that was impossible to see the bottom of at a glance.
"Was it formed during the great battle, or did some special True Spirit burrow into the heart of the domain?"
Xu Yan hovered above the entrance, pushing his Minor Heavenly Eye to its limits, peering into the abyss. All he saw was darkness; the cave was swirling with violent Spiritual Energy and Imperishable Qi. It seemed that the Spiritual Energy was converging into the entrance and accumulating inside.
Just as he was about to investigate further, a message from the Communication Talisman suddenly arrived.
He took out the Communication Talisman and his eyebrows immediately raised. Someone was coming?
The Imperishable Temple?
"Perfect timing!"
Xu Yan showed a delighted expression. Having just broken through to the Establishing Dao Realm and mastered the Sword of Death, enemies had now delivered themselves to his doorstep to sharpen his Sword Dao.
It was an excellent opportunity to test the might of the Establishing Dao Realm and the power of the Sword of Death.
As for the cave, Xu Yan decided not to explore it for now. The cave was here to stay and wouldn't disappear.
He stepped out and left the Hong Ze Domain.
Shortly after he left the domain, Meng Chong and the other two also emerged.
Upon seeing them, Xu Yan noticed that all three junior brothers had made their breakthroughs.
"Big Senior Brother, have you broken through to the Establishing Dao Realm?"
Meng Chong, touching his head, asked excitedly.
"Yes!"
Xu Yan nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go meet the Azure Sea Turtle, and I will explain the Establishing Dao Realm to you. Then we'll confront our enemies. I hope it's a Minor Heaven and Earth Master so I can test out my new sword."
The four disciples immediately returned to the mountain to meet up with the Azure Sea Turtle.
On the way, Xu Yan explained the Establishing Dao Realm to his three junior brothers and also delved into the Law of Primordial.
Although the four of them practiced different Martial Arts, they shared a common goal. The Law of Primordial had commonalities that would help them gain insight and clarify their own understanding of this law.
After Xu Yan and the others left the Domain, a faint white light illuminated the deep recesses of the cave they had abandoned. The feeble light brightened the darkness but did not reach the surface of the domain.
The desolate domain remained just as silent.
The light gradually faded, and the cave returned to pitch darkness. At that moment, a head emerged from the dark hole.

This was a massive head that took up one-third of the entrance.
The head was pure white and flawless, feeling neither fleshy nor bloody, as if it were made of jade. It shone with a pearly luminescence yet did not reflect any light, blending seamlessly into the desolation of the domain.
The head tilted back to reveal a face that gazed outward from the domain.
The immaculate visage had delicate features as if sculpted, and its eyes opened to reveal pitch-black pupils that, while lustrous, held no particular expression or emotion.
The bright eyes were calm and still, appearing sculpted and vividly lifelike, yet utterly devoid of sentiment or soul.
The face watched the world beyond for a long time, seemingly in thought, but neither the face nor the eyes betrayed any sign of contemplation.
At some point, it seemed to make a decision.
The head rose further up, followed by the shoulders coming into view at the entrance, then the chest, the waist, until a complete figure emerged from the hole.
This was a Jade Person, with skin pure and spotless. The clothes on its body seemed sculpted as well, yet they conveyed a sense of softness.
Standing like a small giant at the entrance, the Jade Person silently watched the world outside, again seemingly in deep thought.
Then, after a moment, the Jade Person turned and left the entrance.
As it walked away, it left behind no traces, nor did it leave behind any aura.
With every step taken, the figure was dozens of miles away in an instant, walking step by step until it reached the foot of a towering mountain.
The peak of this mountain had disappeared, having been destroyed in a great battle. Despite this, the mountain still stood tall. The Jade Person walked step by step towards the mountain until its whole body disappeared within it.
Before being fully enveloped by the mountain, the Jade Person's head rotated 180 degrees, its face now directly on its back, then looked up, gazing out at the world beyond.
Then the head turned back around and fully entered the mountain. The entrance where it had passed sealed up, and the Jade Person vanished completely within the mountain, indistinguishable from the ordinary stones that filled its interior.
