In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
The boundless darkness and depths grew increasingly violent, even more terrifying than before.
However, the "Primordial Clouds of Innate Limitlessness" remained completely still.
The terrifyingly powerful innate Daoist essence seeped in silently.
Then, silently, it was absorbed and assimilated by the "Primordial Cloud of Boundless Primordial Beginning" and disappeared without a trace.
Only the chaotic and mysterious light, like a true dragon coiling, continuously devoured the dark and profound, causing it to gradually weaken and become illusory.
Although it is only a prototype, it cannot yet be fully used in actual combat.
However, the power of the "Limitless Seal" has already been fully demonstrated.
Just like the very first and most ancient primordial point, which can even contain the universe, let alone the mere innate Daoist essence.
Even if the "Primordial Cloud of Innate Limitlessness" is only tainted with a trace of the "Limitless Seal's" divine power, it cannot unleash its full potential.
Even if the eight true waters were combined into one, it would already be an attack that was infinitely close to the level of the Dao Integration Realm.
However, it was still useless in front of the "Primordial Cloud of Innate Limitlessness".
"So that's how it is. The only way to break this is to tough it out."
Bai Cang's eyes reflected countless hexagrams as he stepped into the dark and profound depths.
Rays of chaotic light swirled and intertwined around the "Primordial Cloud of Boundless Primordial Origin," like a water curtain before the eaves, constantly absorbing and dissolving the dark and profound, transforming it into the most ancient and primordial chaos.
Suddenly, Bai Cang's eyes reflected endless mysteries and destiny, revealing a glimpse of a profound and mysterious opportunity.
With a simple upward slash of his palm forming a blade, pure white blade light materialized out of thin air, instantly shattering the spacetime barrier and striking the most crucial point of the forbidden technique.
"boom!"
The next moment.
The entire gloomy and deep space, which was gradually becoming illusory, suddenly transformed into a cloud of light and water, enveloping Bai Cang's entire figure.
In an instant, the world spins and time and space shift.
Before Bai Cang's eyes, a magnificent palace complex stretching endlessly and standing in neat rows was clearly reflected.
The boundless shimmering waves filled the majestic palace, yet showed no sign of movement, as if everything had fallen into stillness.
"It really is the True Water of the Universe, and it is also the true core of this Primordial Eight Forbidden Formation!"
A look of realization flashed across Bai Cang's eyes. "Only by breaking through the eight innate restrictions can one step into the true Feathered Ice Palace."
The eight innate true waters are merely the outward manifestation of the "innate eight forbidden array" constructed with "cosmic light true water" as its core.
This is the source of all the restrictions, and the true "Ice Palace of Ascension".
If this forbidden technique cannot be broken, the evolution of the Eight True Waters will only intensify, exhausting people to death in an endless cycle.
It was only by encountering a freak like Bai Cang, who had an extraordinary ability to cheat, that he was able to refine the Eight True Waters into his own resources.
Instead, they regarded it as an opportunity, turning misfortune into good fortune.
If it were anyone else, even if they managed to break through the forbidden spell, they would probably be helpless against the "True Water of Time and Light" that permeates this place.
This is because time itself has been frozen in place by the "true water of cosmic light" that fills the space, resulting in absolute stillness.
If one fails to master the "Method of the Light of the Universe," one might not even be able to form a thought and would be directly sealed and frozen.
Like a mosquito trapped in amber, it can only be slaughtered by others.
The so-called "Ice Palace of Ascension" does not refer to extreme cold, nor does it have anything to do with the changes of water.
Rather, it refers to a state of absolute stillness after time has been frozen.
Time here is like eternal, unchanging ice, it never flows.
This is the true meaning of the "Ice Palace of Ascension"!
With that thought in mind, Bai Cang had already activated the "Time Blade".
Time, which had been frozen in time, began to flow slowly.
Boundless, shimmering primordial energy surrounded Bai Cang's body, transforming into a hazy white light, like a beam of light solidified from millennia of ice, or like the frost and snow of countless ages.
In just a moment, the shimmering light, as if frozen in time, vanished without a trace.
That hazy white light also condensed into a drop of invisible and formless "water droplet" with an extremely strong presence, which appeared out of thin air in front of Bai Cang and slowly rotated.
It was merely a few ripples that were stirred up unintentionally as it turned.
This already gave Bai Cang a feeling of being slightly drunk.
Even his Star River Primordial Spirit couldn't help but stretch out.
There's a kind of lethargy that makes me feel listless, and all I want to do is close my eyes and get a good night's sleep.
It's as if I'm going to be drunk forever, and then I'll never care about spring, summer, autumn or winter again.
"Good heavens, this is the True Water of the Universe?"
Seeing this, Bai Cang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "As expected of the head of the Nine True Waters, known as an unparalleled divine object, it's truly powerful!"
Bai Cang's current cultivation level can be described as the most outstanding existence below the Dao Integration level, and he has already mastered more than one Dao Integration level technique.
It's fair to say that the things that make him feel threatened are already very few and far between.
Even if it is a naturally occurring spiritual object, it is merely a resource in his eyes, and not a threat.
Even if it is as mysterious as the formless true water, as filthy as the blood river true water, as strange as the Yellow Springs true water, as heavy as the One Yuan Heavy Water, as fierce as the Nine Heavens Weak Water, as pure as the Heaven One True Water, as extremely yin and cold as the Taiyin True Water and the Xuanming True Water.
In Bai Cang's eyes, it was nothing more than a small dish.
It can be easily absorbed, refined, and used for one's own purposes without feeling any pressure at all.
However, when facing the "True Water of the Universe," Bai Cang felt an immense threat and a sense of overwhelming pressure.
The "True Water of the Universe" is simply a manifestation of the infinite flow of time and the long river of history. Although it is called "True Water," it is actually just the outward appearance of infinite time condensed into one place.
If one is not proficient in the "Way of the Light of the Universe," it is difficult to even make contact with it, let alone refine or bear it.
It is likely that only those beings of the Dao Integration level and above, those with great supernatural powers, can disregard the erosion of time and refine it for their own use.
Even a perfect Dao Lord who has survived the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations would likely find it difficult to withstand the erosion and decay of even a single drop of "True Water of Cosmic Light," as it would cause their soul to decay and their body to deteriorate.
This is because the process of refining "True Water of Time" is a process of being washed away by endless time.
The first condition to be met is to be able to ignore the erosion of time and not be afraid of the passing of billions of years in an instant.
Even Bai Cang, who possesses the "Time Blade" and the "Extinction God Blade" and has a profound understanding of the "Way of Time," does not want to try it lightly.
Although he boasted that with the blessing of the "Primordial Heart Seal" and the "Sealless", he was likely to be able to successfully refine it.
However, now is not the right time, and Bai Cang does not want to take any risks.
