Bang bang bang!
Divine light darted wildly through the white light, constantly shattering the white hand's restraints. A sound like the ringing of bells and drums echoed throughout the world. Upon hearing this sound, Xu Le couldn't help but kneel on the ground. Crimson blood began to flow from his seven orifices, and large and small wounds appeared all over his body. His heart pounded incessantly. As the impacts accelerated, the blood in his body began to flow backward, his face turned bright red, and his eardrums shattered completely with the seventh impact.
As the impact continued, all the Shadow Warriors were shattered into shadows and vanished into the earth. The few artificial soldiers on the ground were also blasted into a cloud of blood mist, their souls leaving their bodies. Just as they were about to be completely annihilated, the Spirit Ranking shot out a beam of purple divine light, engulfing their souls within the ranking. Countless cracks appeared in the earth, countless plants withered and died, and all the animals, without exception, turned into a pool of minced meat mixed into the soil.
The earth where Liu Yanyan was buried began to crack, and the coffin slowly emerged from the ground. The originally pure Yin land also began to fall into chaos after the world descended into chaos, with Yang energy constantly pouring in and destroying the original layout. Liu Yanyan, who was in the process of undergoing a good transformation, was less efficient at absorbing Yin energy, and her aura began to become disordered. The fire law in her body clashed with the Yin energy again, flickering in the darkness, as if it might explode at any moment.
Although the Heavenly Dao consciousness lacked emotions, it was completely immobilized under this terrifying power. Glancing at the Jianmu Divine Tree, which was still struggling to hold on, it gathered all its essence and then separated a wisp of its own essence, pouring it into the Jianmu. The immense consciousness instantly erased the Jianmu's original faint and vague consciousness, while a large amount of merit poured in, erasing the abnormality of its foreign soul and perfectly merging into the Jianmu. Subsequently, it supported the twelve pillars between heaven and earth. Countless cracks appeared on the pillars, and then they completely collapsed, transforming into twelve divine totems that merged into the Jianmu. The Jianmu began to grow rapidly at an terrifying speed, with all the merit transforming into nutrients for its growth. Finally, it grew to a height of 999 meters, exactly the height of the inner world, successfully replacing the pillars as the support of the world.
Splash!
After the Jianmu tree reached for the sky, its branches began to fall off. The huge branches crashed to the ground, creating huge craters. However, the Jianmu tree emitted a bright green glow, and twelve thick branches quickly grew out. Each branch was inhabited by a totem, which emitted its own light and scattered its power of law throughout the world.
Within minutes, the Jianmu tree was successfully accelerated to maturity, and a green light curtain spread outwards from the top of the tree.
Within the green light tomb, the continent shattered by the sonic waves began to slowly repair itself. Everything was being restored as if time had reversed. The cracks in the earth slowly closed, and the coffin that had been exposed due to the cracks in the earth where Liu Yanyan was located was buried again. All the yang energy was expelled once more, restoring a simple, purely yin state.
Although the earth can be repaired, all plants and animals are completely wiped out. It's not that they can't be resurrected, but rather that after the Heavenly Dao consciousness took over Jianmu and controlled the power of the Twelve Heavenly Pillars, repairing the earth was inevitable. Since it is the foundation of the world, there is no room for saving on this aspect. However, the consumption required to repair these plants and animals is too great, and the investment and return are not proportional. The Heavenly Dao consciousness, which thinks absolutely rationally, will naturally not waste too much power.
The green screen spread over Xu Le, slowly healing his injuries. As the wounds on his body were repaired, Xu Le slowly stood up, looking at the increasingly weak red divine light with a calm expression, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him, and he was just an observer.
Bang bang bang!
With the thirty-second impact, the white hand of light remained unbreakable, the crimson divine light gradually weakened, and the sound waves from the impact became as faint as a mosquito's hum, slowly disappearing in the white hand that the Gate of Myriad Realms had transformed into.
Xu Le slowly approached, his Seven-Colored Dao Heart absorbing all other emotions, keeping him in a state of utmost rationality, leaving only a strong desire to seek the Dao.
Although this divine light was extremely dangerous, it came from the hand of an unknown great supernatural being. If one could comprehend even a fraction of it, it could perfect his path of cultivation. Avoiding detours each time would save a great deal of time. Therefore, even though this thing was dangerous, Xu Le wanted to personally experience the divine power contained within it.
The divine light slowly receded, seemingly having lost all its power, no longer radiating dazzling brilliance, like a piece of gold suddenly turning into a stubborn rock. However, Xu Le did not lower his guard, and asked the Gate of Myriad Realms, "It..."
Snap!
Like the sound of an eggshell cracking, crimson divine light suddenly exploded, shattering the white hand. A crimson light curtain enveloped Xu Le, and countless profound truths flowed within it, instantly attracting his attention as he greedily absorbed this precious knowledge.
The Great Dao Truth within the light screen began to stagnate, disrupting Xu Le's thoughts. Countless complex ideas flooded his mind, causing a splitting headache that made Xu Le clutch his head and kneel on the ground. The seemingly simple and clear Great Dao Truth became obscure and chaotic. A grand voice asked:
Where is the Way?
What is the Tao?
Why seek the Way?

Chapter 141: The Return of the True Self
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
A grand voice resounded from the depths of Xu Le's heart, questioning him with the power of the Great Dao. Strange ripples spread out, creating a huge crack in Xu Le's Seven-Colored Dao Heart, greatly reducing the efficiency of Xu Le's absorption of emotions and making it impossible for Xu Le to maintain a perfect state of rationality.
In an instant, a surge of negative emotions welled up in his heart, making his already heavy thoughts even more chaotic. His brain began to be overwhelmed, and he was completely unable to understand the truths he had been pursuing. The cracks in his Seven-Colored Dao Heart continued to widen, beginning to affect his foundation.
No longer in a state of absolute rationality, fear, cowardice, and sorrow intertwined in his mind. Yet, Xu Le felt no pain or wailing; instead, he laughed maniacally, "The Dao is everywhere, I am the Dao, I will be eternally immortal, high above, with all things prostrating at my feet, hahahahaha..."
The crimson light curtain seemed unwilling to let him off so easily; a thunderous voice rang out again, "Dao..."
The eternal white light completely swept away all the crimson light curtains centered on Xu Le's body, and the sound of the Great Dao completely disappeared.
Xu Le felt a sense of loss, but also some relief. If the Gate of Myriad Realms hadn't cleared away all the crimson light curtains in time, his Dao heart would have been completely shattered, and he would have been crippled by this strange Dao sound.
Xu Le stood up and looked at the shattered inner world. His face was so gloomy it could drip water. He glanced at the Dao Heart that was still stubbornly holding on despite the crack, and his anger slowly subsided.
"I never expected to go astray, almost ending up on the path of ruthlessness. Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise..."
Now that his emotions have returned to normal, Xu Le has finally begun to reflect on his actions after the formation of his Seven-Colored Dao Heart. He had gone astray; after all, all he had obtained were a bunch of secret manuals, without a teacher to guide him or the experience of predecessors to help correct his mistakes. (The dark style remains, but the focus has shifted back to emotion.)
However, Xu Le did not regret it. After all, everything he did in his state of absolute rationality was for his own benefit and path. Moreover, all his gains now proved that Xu Le did not do anything wrong in his state of absolute rationality. If his Dao heart had not been broken, he might have been able to prove the Dao with the ruthless Dao, which would be considered as successfully achieving his eternal goal.
"Cough cough cough, although it's good, what's the difference between a machine and a person without emotions? This Dao heart is also a big problem. We need to find a way to eliminate this potential threat."
Xu Le was pale and weak all over. Even the power of the dog talisman and horse talisman could not cure him. Although the strange power was dispelled by the Gate of Myriad Realms, it directly damaged his foundation. The horse talisman could not restore him at his current level. There were only two methods: one was to accelerate his comprehension of the horse talisman's rules and reach a state where he could be cured as quickly as possible; the other was to use high-grade immortal pills from the Xianxia world to repair his foundation.
However, elixirs in the higher worlds are not like cabbages on the street. Although Xu Le has read some novels and watched some movies and anime, there are not many related to immortals and heroes in his memory. Each level of power is very high, and moving mountains and overturning seas is easy. Elixirs that can repair the foundation usually appear in the middle and late stages. At that time, with Xu Le's strength, he can only be a small boss. Moreover, his foundation is damaged now and his strength has dropped by three levels, so he has no qualifications to compete for them.
"Where should I go?" Xu Le was troubled. He pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with a solution. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of a broken vine on the ground, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
Vines, go to that world!
After resolving his inner conflict, Xu Le became much happier. Without the constraints of his Daoist heart, he could laugh freely, feel joy, and be angry without restraint.
However, since this powerful figure attacked him, a feud was formed, and they would inevitably have to face each other again in the future.
Xu Le flew into the air and carefully observed the ancient divine tree, which had been transformed from a seed. Originally only a dozen meters tall, it instantly grew to nine hundred and ninety-nine meters after the Heavenly Dao consciousness poured in a large amount of merit. Fortunately, it was matured using merit, which is the origin of the world. The Heavenly Dao consciousness was far-sighted and did not do anything that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
The Jianmu tree stands tall in the world, with only twelve huge branches extending from its smooth trunk, stretching outwards for hundreds of meters. Each branch is tens of feet wide, and a totem dwells on it.
A consciousness entered Xu Le's mind; it was the spirit of Jianmu, and also the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao. Due to the infusion of a large amount of merit, the previous consciousness would generate sufficient will. Moreover, after the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, Jianmu took on the responsibility of supporting heaven and earth, and was also the embodiment of the laws of the world.
This position was far too important, so the Heavenly Dao consciousness directly separated a part of itself to seize the body of the Jianmu tree, just to ensure that no mistakes would be made at any step.
Xu Le was quite satisfied with the Heavenly Dao's decision. After all, the Heavenly Dao's consciousness had become his subconscious, which was his avatar. It was safer for him to control it himself than for outsiders, even if this so-called outsider was just a vague consciousness.
Xu Le watched as Jianmu slowly repaired the world. Although the Shadow Warriors were shattered into shadows and lurking underground, they were mostly unharmed, except for those unlucky ones who were too close to the divine light and were directly wiped out.
Several artificial believers can be resurrected through the Spirit Ranking. Liu Yanyan is also fine and is still slowly transforming. However, after being interfered with, the yang energy mixed in and turbided the originally pure yin place, causing a slight flaw in the transformation. But what will happen can only be said after she has completely transformed.
