Chapter 1 The Seed

"Good."

After a long while, that being actually revealed a hint of a smile, and his gaze towards Jiang Xuan softened a bit, which left Jiang Xuan somewhat bewildered.

"Opening the treasure trove of the human body is the core of the path of planting oneself. I know very little about it," the being said. "But the method of opening up an inner world is very good. If one can reach the pinnacle, it is also possible to be invincible."

Jiang Xuan was startled. Was he deducing the method of opening up an inner world?

That's right, the other party was a Gu Clan, mastering the two great daos of time and space. At the same level, who would dare say that their attainments in time and space could be compared to theirs?

Although Jiang Xuan only spoke of an outline, the Gu Clan was the expert in opening up worlds. Once deduced, they could naturally infer the feasibility of this method.

"You can take that step here."

The Gu Clan powerhouse spoke, actually wanting Jiang Xuan to take the final step here, seemingly wanting to witness it firsthand.

"This..." Jiang Xuan really wanted to say that he wasn't ready yet. Once he started down this path, he didn't know what kind of calamities he would encounter. He hadn't prepared enough holy medicines and divine medicines to sustain his life.

"No need to worry."

The Gu Clan powerhouse smiled faintly, which made Jiang Xuan a little strange. Did the other party mean to help him open up the world?

But he had no choice. What could he do by refusing? Even if this person didn't care, he still had no way to leave. No matter what, in the end, he could only open it up here.

...

Inside the ancient hall, Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged alone. The Gu Clan powerhouse was on the other side, quietly watching Jiang Xuan, his eyes without waves or ripples, unable to discern what he was thinking.

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, concentrating his mind. The ancient hall was silent, and Jiang Xuan became even more calm, entering a mysterious state.

In the next moment, rays of immortal light fell, and ten Xumi Grottoes emerged above his head. Nine of them rotated, surrounding the tenth Xumi Grotto, merging and smelting with it, erupting with brilliant light, unparalleled, like ten suns hanging in the sky.

And that tenth Xumi Grotto, divine radiance soared, like chains of order, one after another, spraying auspicious light, falling from the void, peaceful and sacred, far more extraordinary than the other nine Xumi Grottoes.

Jiang Xuan had also opened ten Xumi Grottoes. In the Three Thousand Provinces of the Upper Realm, there were many who could open ten Xumi Grottoes, and even many who surpassed this foundation, evolving the Immortal Ancient method into the present-day method.

However, Jiang Xuan didn't go far. Although he was considered remarkable before, he was still a bit inferior to the primeval geniuses. In the Xumi Grotto Realm, he only transformed the tenth Xumi Grotto, far surpassing the other nine Xumi Grottoes.

Although he knew the path of Huang in cultivating Xumi Grottoes, he didn't have a being like Willow Deity to help him. It was already not easy to transform the tenth Xumi Grotto.

Bang!

However, in the next moment, Jiang Xuan forcibly shattered one of the Xumi Grottoes, and then merged it into the tenth Xumi Grotto.

But this was not the end. He continuously attacked, constantly shattering Xumi Grottoes. In the end, even with his current physical body, it was difficult to resist. He coughed up blood violently, and cracks began to appear in his body.

This was a Dao injury. Jiang Xuan destroyed nine Xumi Grottoes in a row. Even a physical body that surpassed a god was now difficult to support. However, he couldn't think too much, using his vast divine power to control every fragment of the Xumi Grotto, merging it into the tenth Xumi Grotto bit by bit.

The tenth Xumi Grotto became more and more extraordinary, with booming sounds constantly exploding. Within that immortal light, it seemed as if endless mysteries were evolving.

But strangely, this Xumi Grotto was constantly shrinking, compressed by Jiang Xuan's divine power, shrinking circle after circle. The internal rumbling became more and more astonishing, and later on, it was like thunder.

"Fall!"

Jiang Xuan gave a soft shout, and saw that Xumi Grotto, which had been compressed to the size of a seed, quickly fell from above his head, hanging in front of his abdomen, and then directly integrated into the dantian of his physical body.

If Jiang Xuan remembered correctly, below the navel was the wheel of life, which was the location of the Sea of Sufferance realm in the Covering Heavens method.

He merged the inner world into this place in order to open up the Sea of Bitterness in the future, so that the inner world and the Sea of Bitterness of the physical body could nourish each other.

After merging that Xumi Grotto, which had been compressed to the extreme, into his physical body, Jiang Xuan took out the many divine materials he had obtained during this period, Hunyuan Stone, Myriad Things Soil, Taiyin Divine Marrow, Sun God Gold...

Various divine materials were constantly being integrated into the tenth Xumi Grotto, and that tenth Xumi Grotto was still being compressed, already the size of a grain of rice. Within it was a chaotic scene, with tribulation thunder rolling and supreme divine power.

According to the records in the *Chaos Gang Dou Sutra*, the more concentrated the seed of the world, the stronger the power it erupts!

But Jiang Xuan still hadn't stopped. His energy, qi, and spirit were condensed to the peak, and holy medicines and divine medicines were constantly swallowed, constantly compressing that Xumi Grotto.

As he continued to compress, even the Gu Clan powerhouse in the distance became serious.

Xumi Grottoes were originally small worlds, but now they were integrated with ten Xumi Grottoes and many divine materials and precious medicines. Once they erupted, it would be devastating. If Jiang Xuan couldn't survive the eruption, he would surely die!

In the ancient hall, Jiang Xuan didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest. The method of opening up the world in the *Chaos Gang Dou Sutra* was to simulate the singularity of the universe, that is, the eruption at the beginning of the formation of the universe, which began from a point of infinitely small volume. All the primordial energy was concentrated to a point, and then erupted, eventually turning into the universe.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, more than forty days had passed. The Xumi Grotto in Jiang Xuan's body had also been compressed to the extreme.

"Hoo..."

Jiang Xuan breathed out a mouthful of turbid air. Now was the truly important step. He took out the real life-saving holy medicines and divine medicines, placed them in front of him, and then his mind sank.

"Open!"

With a soft shout, countless tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the world seed formed by the Xumi Grotto in his body, which was smaller than a pinhole. Infinite energy erupted, and Jiang Xuan's physical body instantly collapsed. Even though it was comparable to a powerful god, it collapsed directly in just an instant.

"Cough!"

Jiang Xuan coughed up blood, his body splitting apart. Holy medicines and divine medicines were sent to his mouth as if they were free. The fire of life burned fiercely, and the divine power within the Gate of Death constantly涌 out!

He couldn't allow himself to hesitate at all. All the means that could maintain his vitality were immediately used by him. If he was even a little late, his entire person would be directly blown to death.

In the distance, the Gu Clan powerhouse also pointed out a finger, and a drop of crystal ancient blood flew out from his fingertip. Visible to the naked eye, the Gu Clan powerhouse's body became illusory, as if about to disappear.

And just as that drop of blood merged into Jiang Xuan's physical body, his constantly exploding physical body suddenly stagnated, as if time had been frozen. Even the speed of the erupting world seed within his body had slowed down.

Jiang Xuan didn't dare to think too much, and quickly operated the deduced *Chaos Gang Dou Sutra*, while simultaneously enveloping the erupting world seed with his divine sense.

"Taiyi, yin and yang have not changed, vast and empty, without light and image, without form and name. Silent and lonely, this is called Taiyi. Taiyi, the beginning of God and has not seen qi..."

Now, Jiang Xuan's body was like this scene, chaotic and misty, without light and image, without form and name, yin and yang were not divided, everything was in the most primitive state.

But this was at least the first step to success. He had opened up a small chaos in his own body, and there was hope for evolving the world in the future!
