344: Chapter 335 The Sixth Incarnation: Heavenly Venerable (Twenty-Three)

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Xu Yuan became even more focused and began attempting to refine more fragments that passed through the "sieve."

Every successful refinement of even a sliver was fraught with extreme danger, like walking a tightrope. Different Dao Law fragments had varying attributes and even conflicted with one another; within the furnace of "The Way of Man and Heaven," the "Samsara Imprint" and "Authority of Order" were required to mediate with all their might to barely maintain balance and coexistence. Xu Yuan's mind was constantly in a state of high tension and intense exhaustion.

But the rewards were also immense!

His World Model of "The Way of Man and Heaven," which had originally been just a hazy phantom, began to complete, perfect, and solidify at a speed nearly visible to the naked eye as these most fundamental fragments of the Great Dao were continuously refined and integrated!

Within the model, a blurry outline of "Heaven and Earth" gradually appeared, followed by the faint circulation and cycles of mutual generation and overcoming of the "Five Elements," a weak burst of "Vitality," and the accumulation of "Time." It even began to derive extremely Elementary imagery of the unity of opposites in "Yin and Yang."

This was no longer a hollow concept, but a miniature, idealized "World Embryo" that was beginning to be supported by concrete "Laws of the Great Dao"!

It existed deep within Xu Yuan's consciousness, faintly resonating with his innate sacred fetus.

An even more startling change was occurring within the embryo itself!

As the World Model of "The Way of Man and Heaven" continued to improve and the pure Origin energy fed back from refinement was continuously injected, Xu Yuan's innate sacred fetus also began to undergo a deep transformation that transcended the scope of an ordinary "Innate Sacred Being"!

Ordinary Innate Sacred Beings might be naturally close to one or a few specific Great Daos, and their sacred bodies would naturally be branded with corresponding companion dao patterns, forming a certain "Dao Body."

But the embryo Xu Yuan was currently refining and absorbing was not limited to a single or a few Great Daos.

Instead, within the framework of "The Way of Man and Heaven," he was attempting to accommodate, refine, and absorb marginal fragments and true meanings from many of the most fundamental and primitive Daos, such as the "Five Elements," "Space-Time," "Life and Death," "Creation," "Order," and "Reincarnation"!

Under the mediation of the "Samsara Imprint" and the governance of "The Way of Man and Heaven," these true meanings of the Great Dao with different attributes—and even those in opposition—did not conflict or explode within his body. Instead, they began to interweave, fuse, and settle in an extremely profound and dynamically balanced manner, slowly branding themselves into the deepest parts of his embryo and transforming his sacred essence!

Every inch of his forming "flesh" seemed to become a tiny "Chaos Furnace," internally containing a miniature, balanced, and constantly evolving "Multi-layered Composite Dao Rhyme."

This had already far surpassed the scope of a single-attribute "Dao Body"!

Using the body as a furnace to refine all Daos;

Using the Dao as fuel to temper the golden body!

If this gestation could succeed, by the time Xu Yuan broke out of his cocoon, what he would possess might not be a single, extreme "Sacred Physique" or "Dao Body," but an unprecedented, grander, more inclusive, and seemingly infinitely more potential-filled—Chaos Physique!

"This is... refining the golden body with all Daos, and gestating the Dao Body within Chaos?"

In the intervals of refinement, Xu Yuan felt the startling changes in his own embryo and the model of "The Way of Man and Heaven," and waves of shock surged in his heart.

He hadn't expected that this riot in the Source Sea of Laws, which had nearly caused his soul and body to be extinguished, would actually become the greatest Opportunity for him to forge a Supreme Dao Foundation!

Surprise! An inexpressible surprise!

This was truly finding life in a dead end, a turn for the better after reaching the depths of misfortune!

This was by no means a simple multi-attribute affinity, but a supreme Foundation for encompassing, governing, balancing, and evolving the myriad Daos!

It was a supreme Physique that pointed directly to the source of the Great Dao and possessed infinite possibilities!

Its potential and future were by no means comparable to any single-attribute "Sacred Physique" or "Dao Body"!

Once successful, he would truly possess the capital to practice "The Way of Man and Heaven" and regulate the myriad Daos and Laws of this realm!

However, the wild joy lasted only for a moment before being replaced by a deeper calm.

Xu Yuan's thoughts flowed like ice water, quickly calming his agitated emotions as he began to examine himself and his current situation from a more objective and rational perspective.

"The gestation of a 'Chaos Dao Body' is hundreds of millions of times more difficult than any single-attribute 'Dao Body'!"

A single-attribute Dao Body, such as the "Lunar Sacred Physique" or the "Geng-Gold Dao Body," only requires the continuous absorption, refinement, and branding of the corresponding true meaning of the Great Dao. Although the process is difficult, the goal is clear and the path is relatively singular.

But the "Chaos Dao Body" was completely different.

It required the simultaneous, balanced, and harmonious absorption, refinement, and Fusion of multiple—even countless—fundamental true meanings of the Great Dao with different attributes that were related yet potentially conflicting!

What this required was not just a massive amount of high-quality "Great Dao Resources," but also a profound understanding of the essence of the myriad Daos, exquisite control over the balance of the Great Dao, and a core capable of governing, mediating, and accommodating the conflicts of the myriad Daos!

"The amount of Great Dao fragments that need to be refined, balanced, and fused is massive, and there can't be the slightest error."

Xu Yuan scrutinized every operation of the "Sieve of Order" and the furnace of "The Way of Man and Heaven."

If a sliver of the Law of "Water" was absorbed even half a fraction too much, it might break the delicate balance with the "Fire" fragments; if a wisp of marginal "Slaughter" aura was handled improperly, it could contaminate the "Order" Origin of the entire embryo; a single mistake in guiding the insights of a "Space-Time" disorder could even lead to a disturbance in the logic of his own existence...

The precision and danger involved far exceeded the Qi Deviation of ordinary Cultivation. It was a "Great Dao Gambit" in the truest sense; the slightest mistake would mean the collapse of the Dao Foundation and the loss of all previous efforts.

"How dangerous..."

Xu Yuan's perception cast toward the outside of the light cocoon.

The apocalyptic scene remained, and it had even become more bizarre and unpredictable due to the awakening of more ancient beings.

"But—"

"If I succeed... this will greatly increase the upper limit of my potential in this life!"

"Furthermore, although these violent Law fragments are dangerous, their energy level and purity of Dao Rhyme far exceed the peaceful Law Origin. If I can effectively refine and absorb them, it will undoubtedly greatly accelerate my gestation speed!"

The normal gestation of an Innate Sacred Being often takes hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, slowly absorbing the relatively gentle Qi of Origin from heaven and earth.

But Xu Yuan was now essentially "taking tonic medicine," and it was a highly potent medicine with a "ferocious nature"!

Although the digestion process was dangerous, once successful, the resulting growth would be explosive!

"Let the Struggle for the Great Era come!"

Xu Yuan laughed heartily, his will as solid as iron.

Using the body as a furnace to refine the myriad Daos of the heavens!

Using the Dao as fuel to temper the Chaos True Body!

Using Reincarnation as a guide to harmonize Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements!

Using Order as the framework to govern the past, present, and future!

Xu Yuan no longer had any distracting thoughts, throwing all his mind, will, and Comprehension Ability into this long-lasting, extremely dangerous, yet profoundly significant "Dao Refining."
