Chapter 5178 The Immortal Pool of Creation
He "saw" an indescribable "nothingness." It wasn't emptiness, but the "complete end" of all concepts, all existence, and all possibilities. There was no light, no darkness, no time, no space, and even the concept of "nothingness" itself ceased to exist.
That is an even more ultimate "annihilation" than "return to nothingness"!
And his sword seemed to be born to point there and slash there!
"So... my sword path is not only 'beginningless', but can also point to 'end,' just like the Way of Wuji..." Su Bai suddenly understood.
Without beginning or end, it is a cycle. Only with a beginning and an end can it constitute a complete "Tao".
His previous swordsmanship focused too much on the "beginning" and "process," and although it evolved in countless ways, it lacked the power of "ending."
And this lingering sound perfectly completes this crucial link!
"Buzz!"
The first level of the Dao Tower shone brightly, and the form of the transparent longsword began to change. The sword became more ancient and heavy, and wisps of a hazy, all-encompassing aura swirled around the blade. The sword intent was no longer simply sharpness and evolution, but possessed a terrifying power that could bring all things to silence and the Great Dao to its end.
At the same time, Su Bai's understanding of "immortality" also deepened.
Immortality is not about being eternally unchanging, but about finding an anchor point for one's own existence in the cycle of birth and death, beginning and end, transcending mere "birth" or "death".
He slowly opened his eyes.
In his eyes, the left eye remained as clear as ever, reflecting the beginning and the process; the right eye, however, was as deep as an abyss, as if it contained the end of everything.
Two completely different styles coexist harmoniously in him.
With a slight thought, a new wisp of sword intent emerged from his fingertips.
This wisp of sword intent was initially ethereal and unpredictable, like the nascent beginnings of all things; then it evolved into countless forms, a myriad of phenomena; finally, it returned to an extreme grayness, as if it could devour all light and existence, returning to eternal silence.
“Let this sword be called ‘Nirvana’,” Su Bai murmured to himself. This was a brand-new sword move that was derived from “Beginningless and Limitless” but went a step further and touched on the true meaning of “End”.
He did not get up immediately, but continued to sit cross-legged to consolidate this sudden enlightenment, while guiding more fragments of laws to further solidify the foundation of the three-layered Dao Tower.
Until a certain moment, he felt a slight "saturation" pulsation coming from the Dao Tower. Although there were many fragments of laws in the outside world, their benefits to him had begun to decrease rapidly.
He knew that the gains from this seclusion were nearing the limit of what he could absorb at this stage.
Su Bai stood up.
He didn't exude a powerful aura, yet he gave off an increasingly profound and unfathomable feeling. Like a bottomless ancient well, his surface was calm, but within it contained a power capable of overturning heaven and earth.
He gazed upon this chaotic graveyard of laws and bowed slightly to the void. Whether the sages who left these marks were friend or foe, their paths had become sustenance for his journey.
Without lingering, Su Bai turned around, following the senses he had come from, and took a step forward, his figure already appearing at the entrance vortex of the Chaos Scripture Pavilion.
Beyond the vortex lay only that eternal void. But Su Bai knew that only about a month had passed in the outside world.
"The sword path has been initially completed, touching upon the 'end.' The Dao of Time and Space has been slightly improved. The meaning of the all-encompassing chaos has begun to take shape... It's time to go to the Immortal Pool of Creation, borrow the endless energy of creation, thoroughly refine these insights, and break through to the third step of immortality."
He clenched his fist, feeling the more refined and concentrated power surging within him, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.
With the battle for supremacy among all races imminent, every bit of strength gained increases the chances of victory.
His figure transformed into an invisible sword light, cutting through the chaos and rushing towards the direction of Creation Heaven.
........
The Immortal Pool of Creation is located at the deepest part of the forbidden area of the Heavenly Court, "Creation Heaven".
Rather than a "pool," it is more like a "sea of creation's origin," bound and condensed within it by supreme power. The pool water is not an ordinary liquid, but a milky-white essence of creation so concentrated that it has materialized. Each drop is as heavy as a star, containing the primordial vitality that created the world and shaped all things.
Holding the Emperor's Decree, Su Bai traversed nine layers of "celestial curtains" formed by pure creation energy before finally reaching the edge of the Immortal Pool.
Looking up, one sees a vast, boundless, milky-white "ocean," calm and still, yet exuding a terrifyingly powerful pressure.
Above the ocean, nine "great suns" formed from the "pure yang creation core" slowly rotated, casting endless light and heat, maintaining the stability of this small world, and further refining and sublimating the creation essence in the pool.
Beside the pool stands a stele, neither gold nor jade, inscribed with ancient seal script: "The Mysterious Pool of Creation, seizing the secrets of heaven and earth, forging an immortal body. Enter with caution, for greed will lead to death."
The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, exuding a dignified and majestic aura, clearly left by the Celestial Venerable.
Su Bai's gaze swept across the Immortal Pool, finally settling on the center of the pool.
That place wasn't where the pool water was most concentrated; on the contrary, it was relatively "thin," with a strange pale golden color. But in Su Bai's perception, although the amount of creation energy there was small, its quality was higher, and it was more "violent," like an untamed ancient beast, full of the most primal and domineering power of creation and destruction.
"The 'Chaotic Eye' at the heart of the pool, where creation and destruction coexist, where life and death cycle endlessly, is the ultimate place to temper the physical body and the foundation of one's Dao." Su Bai recalled the records in the Heavenly Venerable's jade slip and understood. That was the true destination of his journey.
Without hesitation, Su Bai leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light and plunging straight into the center of the pool.
"Pfft!"
He entered the water silently, yet it felt as if he had crashed into an extremely viscous amber. Boundless pressure surged from all directions, frantically squeezing his body. Even more terrifying was the pale golden energy of creation, which was all-pervasive, penetrating through his pores, acupoints, and even directly through his skin, ruthlessly drilling into his body.
This is not gentle nourishment, but a violent "infusion" and "transformation"!
Ordinary cultivators at the first step of the Immortal Realm, if they dare to step into the heart of the pool, will be instantly burst apart by the violent energy of creation, or eroded into nothingness by the trace of "destruction" contained within it.
Su Bai, however, was prepared.
"Primordial Chaos Body, activate!"
He gave a low shout in his heart, and the blood and qi in his body surged and roared like the Yangtze River.
Beneath the skin, countless intricate and profound chaotic Dao patterns emerged, moving like living things and forming a natural chaotic array. As the array operated, it exuded an ancient aura of "encompassing all things" and "evolving all existence."
The raging energy of creation surging into the body, upon contact with the chaotic Dao patterns, was like a wild horse being put on reins, instantly becoming much more docile.
Although it remains powerful and domineering, it can now be guided and controlled by Su Bai.
He immediately sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the pool, closed his eyes and concentrated, and fully activated the Primordial Chaos Body technique.
