218: Chapter 218 Reaching Perfection of the Dao and Gaining a Glimpse into Heavenly Secrets: Where Lies the Path of Mahayana?

After stepping into Dao Integration Perfection, Ye Qing did not rush to leave the Meteor Sea, but instead continued to linger among the floating star remains for several months.

He needed time to adapt to this surge in strength, and he also needed time to carefully contemplate the mysteries of the Dao Integration Perfection Realm.

More importantly, he needed to figure out exactly how to take the next step into the Mahayana Realm.

The Mahayana Realm was already among the tiny fraction of existences standing at the very pinnacle of the Spirit Realm.

Any Cultivator in the Mahayana Realm was a titan capable of establishing a sect and dominating a region.

This Realm could no longer be reached through mere accumulation of energy; it required a profound understanding of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, as well as the Perfection and sublimation of one's own Dao.

He sat cross-legged atop a massive piece of star remains, eyes slightly closed, his consciousness sinking into his Internal Space.

At this moment, his Internal Space had evolved into something resembling a true mini-world.

The boundaries of the space had expanded to a vastness he could hardly imagine.

The energy permeating the space was so dense it had almost solidified; in the core area of the space, the lake formed by the condensation of pure energy had expanded to several miles in radius, its waters displaying a deep Chaos color, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

That Chaos-colored orb, resembling a pearl, was currently suspended above the energy lake, rotating slowly, and with every rotation, it seemed to drive the rhythm of the entire space.

He could clearly feel that this space already possessed its own rudimentary system of Laws.

Although this system of Laws was still very rough and immature, it did indeed exist and was constantly perfecting and evolving.

"Mahayana, Mahayana—as the name suggests, it means to carry one's own Dao upon the Laws of Heaven and Earth, reaching a Realm that is nearly Dao itself."

Ye Qing slowly opened his eyes, a flash of realization passing through them, "And I, perhaps, can walk a different path.

I do not need to carry my Dao upon the Laws of Heaven and Earth of this Spirit Realm; I can completely use my Internal Space as a foundation to form my own system of Laws!

When the system of Laws in my Internal Space is perfected to the point where it can contend with the Laws of Heaven and Earth of the Spirit Realm, that will be the moment I step into the Mahayana Realm, or even achieve Ascension!"

This idea was bold and insane.

Since ancient times, every Cultivator in the Spirit Realm attempting a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm has chosen to comprehend the Laws of Heaven and Earth of the Spirit Realm, seeking to resonate with them, and ultimately merging their own Dao into them to reach the Realm of Heaven-Man Unity.

A method like Ye Qing's, attempting to cast aside the Laws of Heaven and Earth of the Spirit Realm and form a world of one's own, was simply unheard of.

But Ye Qing felt that this path might be the one most suited to him.

His Chaos Dao was inherently all-encompassing, and his Internal Space was cultivated in tandem with his very life, possessing infinite potential.

Rather than imitating or attaching himself to someone else's Dao, it was better to carve out a unique Dao that belonged only to himself!

He solidified his conviction and was no longer lost.

He knew that if he wanted to achieve a Breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm, the key did not lie in searching the Spirit Realm for some Heaven-Defying Opportunity, but in how to make his Internal Space evolve to be more complete and more perfect.

He began consciously pouring more energy into the evolution and Perfection of his Internal Space.

He no longer blindly sought to devour more energy items to expand the area of the space; instead, he began to attempt to integrate his understanding of the Chaos Dao, as well as his insights into various Laws of Heaven and Earth such as the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and Life and Death, into the system of Laws within his Internal Space.

Like a creator god, he carefully outlined the strokes of the Laws within his own mini-world, perfecting the framework of the world.

This process was extremely mentally taxing and also extremely long.

But he was not impatient; he had plenty of patience and plenty of time.

He immersed himself in the joy of this creation and Perfection, forgetting the passage of time.
