376: Chapter 367 The Sixth Incarnation: Heavenly Venerable (55)

Wei An's thought moved slightly. The warm and heavy "Humanity Order" Dao Rhyme around him was no longer for attack or defense. Instead, it turned into countless fine and soft golden threads of light. Following the Soul connection between him and Blade Absolute Edge, and the Origin channel of the "Karma" dao treasure, they gently reached into that weak spark of true spirit.

These golden threads were not for forcefully infusing power. Like the most skilled physician, they began to carefully comb through and smooth out the chaotic, painful, and shattered imprints in Blade Absolute Edge's true spirit caused by the forced refinement.

And the unique will belonging to Blade Absolute Edge himself, his comprehension of "karmic order", that unyielding spirit of resistance, and the core Soul essence shared with Wei An and the original body Xu Yuan, were all awakened, reinforced, and re-woven one by one!

"With our shared Soul, I reconnect your roots of 'self'!"

Deep within Wei An's Soul, the imprint belonging to the original body Xu Yuan lit up slightly, emitting warm and profound ripples.

These ripples, like a mother's call, crossed the distance between Incarnations and resonated most strongly with the shared part within Blade Absolute Edge's true spirit!

"Buzz—!"

Under this dual effect, that weak spark of true spirit suddenly brightened a bit!

The chaotic parts were smoothed by the "Order" Dao Rhyme, the shattered parts were repaired and bonded by the shared Soul power, and the unique consciousness and memories belonging to "Blade Absolute Edge" began to gradually clear and condense from the Chaos!

"Furthermore, with the infinite 'Weapon' and 'Refining' Origin of this 'myriad treasures river', I recast your 'physical' form!"

Wei An's intent shifted again. The "myriad treasures river" beneath his feet shook slightly. The vast "Weapon" Dao Rhyme, the true meaning of "Refining", and the majestic energy emitted by the eight dao treasures began to be guided by Wei An. No longer a crude infusion, it turned into nourishing rain, continuously pouring into the "Karma" dao treasure. Through the dao treasure's core, it gently merged into Blade Absolute Edge's rebirthing true spirit, reshaping a special "spiritual body" based on the "myriad treasures river" Origin and completely symbiotic with the "Karma" dao treasure!

This was a slow and exquisite process.

Wei An was like the most patient craftsman, using his own Great Dao as fire, the shared Soul as the lead, and the "myriad treasures river" as the furnace and materials, "re-refining" Blade Absolute Edge's Rebirth.

This process allowed for no carelessness, so it was extremely slow. Fortunately, Wei An now held the status of a Dao Lord and wielded the authority of the Great Dao.

Although it wasn't the Dao of Time, it was enough to adjust the local flow of time.

No one knew how much time had passed; it could have been an instant or a very long time.

Finally—

Deep within the "Karma" dao treasure, that spark of true spirit was no longer weak. It had turned into a stable, bright light cocoon containing deep "Karma" Dao Rhyme and agile vitality.

Within the light cocoon, a blurry figure, seventy percent similar to the former Blade Absolute Edge but with a bit more illusory nature and flowing Dao Rhyme, slowly condensed into shape.

The figure slowly opened its "eyes".

In those eyes, there was no longer just the sharpness of a pure bladesman, but a depth and vicissitude after experiencing life-and-death transformation, as well as a mysterious sense of being one with the "myriad treasures river" below and the "Karma" dao treasure in hand.

His aura was weak yet pure, faintly resonating with the entire "myriad treasures river", as if he were the river, and the river were him.

"Wei An..."

A weak but clear thought came from the light cocoon, sounding directly in Wei An's mind.

The voice was filled with complex emotions—the relief of surviving a disaster, gratitude toward Wei An, confusion and exploration of his new state, and a deep-seated, cold hatred for the Hundred Weapons Dao Lord.

"Welcome back, Blade Absolute Edge."

A sincere smile appeared on the corner of Wei An's mouth, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell.

"Or should I call you... 'Spirit of the Myriad Treasures River' now?"

"The name doesn't matter." The figure in the light cocoon shook its head slightly. "I am still me, Blade Absolute Edge. It's just... I've changed my way of existence."

Blade Absolute Edge felt his inseparable connection with the "myriad treasures river" and the vast power within it.

"This feeling... is very strange. I can feel every bit of power in the 'myriad treasures river', I can drive those eight dao treasures, and I can even vaguely perceive the various Great Dao true meanings hidden within... But I am also bound here, existing and perishing with it."

"Symbiosis and shared prosperity are also a Rebirth," Wei An said calmly. "Your path of Dao hasn't been cut off; you've just stepped onto an unprecedented road. With the 'myriad treasures river' as your body and 'Karma' as your Soul, your future might not be narrower than a simple Dao Lord's path. Moreover..."

Wei An looked into the distance. "Our road is still long."

"Yes, it's still long." Blade Absolute Edge's intent became firm. The light cocoon slowly merged into the depths of the "Karma" dao treasure. His voice seemed to come from the entire "myriad treasures river". "The old thief Hundred Weapons is dead, but the storm outside has just begun. Wei An, what do you plan to do next?"

"Naturally..." Wei An stepped on the "myriad treasures river", his gaze piercing through the shattered barriers of the Hundred Weapons Dao Realm, looking toward the direction that made the heavens tremble. A cold sharpness flashed in his eyes. "Go meet those Ancient Venerables and see whose 'heaven refining cauldron' or our 'myriad treasures river' is truly stronger!"

"Good!" Blade Absolute Edge's intent was full of Battle Intent. "A hundred years of frustration, just right to test them with my blade! No, test them with the 'river'!"

Wei An laughed heartily and said no more.

With a thought, the "myriad treasures river" beneath his feet let out a joyful roar. The Chaos river water surged back, wrapping him, the eight dao treasures, the "Karma" dao treasure, and Blade Absolute Edge within it.

The next moment, the entire "myriad treasures river" suddenly contracted, turning into a streak of Chaos light refined to the extreme. It boldly tore through the void of the Hundred Weapons Dao Realm and flew toward the final battlefield that decided the fate of the heavens without looking back!

Within the flying Chaos light, Wei An's eyes were deep as an abyss, reflecting the increasingly clear and heart-palpitating scene of the world-ending battlefield ahead.

But a part of Wei An's mind had already followed the mysterious Soul connection with the original body Xu Yuan, crossing the barriers of endless time, space, and Laws, quietly "casting" itself toward the place of violent Chaos and the starting point of all "causes"—deep within the Source Sea of Laws.

Wei An "saw" it.

Deep within that forbidden zone of Laws where even a Dao Lord would retreat, the sacred light cocoon carrying the original body, its surface covered with Chaos dao patterns, was now emitting a Soul-shaking rhythm unlike anything before!
