Chapter 1 Taking the First Step

Stepping out for the first step, Jiang Xuan still didn't dare to be careless. To evolve a world from chaos, one had to experience the five states of Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji.

Originally, in the Martial Limit World, all this could be accomplished with a Grand Daqian World Pill, but he was in the Perfect World; how could he obtain such a pill?

What's more, the rules of the world were different. Even if he could get his hands on one, it wouldn't have the same effect. It was very likely that the Grand Daqian World Pill of the Martial Limit World would become a candy to replenish the body in the Perfect World.

Therefore, they could only deduce based on the *Chaos Gang Dou Sutra*, and then they thought of the profound state of the Five Innate Tais.

Although they couldn't understand the Five Innate Tais, they could simulate them. After overturning and restarting time and time again, they found a suitable method.

After that was Taichu. The *Liezi* says: "Taichu is the first sight of qi."

The "qi" here does not refer to a specific energy, not immortal qi, not divine power, nor mana, but the source of all energy. If according to the Desolate Era, it is "Dao"!

Heaven and earth were not yet open, but the Dao was already formed. Even the Desolate Era was like this. Before the creation of the world, ten Heavenly Daos, eighty-one Grand Daos, and one hundred eight thousand Minor Daos had already appeared, giving birth to Chaos Gods and Demons.

The last to be born, Pangu, represented the Heavenly Dao of Chaos. This Dao could also be said to be the source of all Daos. It was precisely for this reason that the Three Realms opened up by Pangu could carry all the Daos.

What Jiang Xuan had to do now was also to establish a "Chaos" Heavenly Dao, integrate his own Dao into this chaos, and then slowly evolve to give birth to the first Dao in chaos, the "Qi" that is the origin of all things in the world!

"Time and space..."

The "Chaos" Dao that Jiang Xuan chose was the fusion of time and space, transforming into the Heavenly Dao of Time and Space. Taking this as the foundation, the world within his body would have the potential to grow continuously, to integrate and absorb the energy of other worlds, and constantly transform.

Of course, in addition to this, it was because time and space were the most compatible with Jiang Xuan. After several times of sharing, his understanding of these two Daos had far surpassed other Daos. Even the Dao of the Saber was now inferior.

It was precisely for this reason that he would take time and space as the origin, and then evolve other Great Daos on this basis.

In the distance, the Gu Clan expert also felt something, and a smile appeared on his already somewhat illusory face.

Jiang Xuan's mind was calm, and many insights related to time and space in his mind slowly merged into that small chaos. This was a long process. Dao was not a tangible thing like immortal qi or divine power. After merging into the small chaos, it was like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye, unable to be perceived at all.

Unsurprisingly, it would take a long time to nurture the first wisp of Dao rhythm in this small chaos.

One day, two days, one month, two months...

Jiang Xuan forgot the time, never stopping for a moment, constantly integrating his own Dao rhythm of time and space into the small chaos.

I don't know how long it had passed, but in that originally hazy, nothingness chaos, a kind of Dao rhythm faintly appeared, as if there was the passage of time, and as if there was spatial separation...

It was a mysterious and unpredictable state, appearing so suddenly, without a trace of omen, born from that dark, without reason, indescribable!

But now was not the time for Jiang Xuan to consider. The first Dao in the world had been born, and the next step was to use the formless to nurture the tangible!

According to their deduction, if this chaos was allowed to evolve on its own, it might indeed evolve into a world, but this world would not have much connection with Jiang Xuan. The biggest connection might be that it was located within Jiang Xuan's body.

"Severing the Yuan Shen..."

This was the method they deduced, using the Yuan Shen to merge with the initial Dao, and after the creation of the world, he would become the will of heaven and earth, mastering everything in this world.

Of course, it was not impossible in the future, but there would be flaws, and it might even be rejected, far less perfect than merging into it at the beginning of the Dao's birth.

However, severing the Yuan Shen might be less difficult in the Desolate Era, but in the Perfect World, it was an extremely dangerous thing, and even those powerful beings would not easily try it.

But the opportunity to merge with the Dao was fleeting, and even if there was great terror, he had to act.

Of course, it was impossible for him to be unprepared. As early as before, they had deduced countless times based on the Second Yuan Shen Method of the Desolate Era, and now they were just turning everything into reality.

In the next moment, in Jiang Xuan's sea of consciousness, the Yuan Shen was sitting cross-legged, shrouded in immortal light, and at the center of his brow, there was a vertical mark, with streamers overflowing from it.

Then, the crack became larger and larger, cracking down from the center of the eyebrows, and finally, directly dividing Jiang Xuan into two.

But it was not completely separated. The two halves of the Yuan Shen were slowly moving away, with immortal light intertwined between them, like a lotus root breaking, and at the same time, divine power surged, constantly making up for the defects, and trying to complete the two halves of the body.

*Peng!*

As the last trace of immortal light broke, Jiang Xuan was struck hard. On his physical body, the center of his eyebrows completely cracked, and was constantly expanding, making the already fragmented body even more broken!

The scab was once again soaked in blood, and even holy medicines and divine medicines were difficult to make up for. In the flesh, wisps of the fire of life were burning, trying to repair the broken body, but they were simply powerless.

The blood of the Gu Clan expert was also glowing in his body, blooming with the last of its power. If not for this drop of blood, Jiang Xuan would only be able to wait for death.

"Merge!"

Jiang Xuan no longer had time to think. The two halves of the Yuan Shen had the same will. One half of the Yuan Shen fell directly from the sea of consciousness to his dantian, and directly merged into the Dao rhythm in the small chaos.

*Boom!*

In an instant, endless mystery fed back into Jiang Xuan himself. That was originally his many insights into time and space, but now it transformed into the Dao before the creation of the world in the small chaos, which could evolve into myriad Daos. Now, it was united with the Yuan Shen of the main body, giving birth to mystery and giving birth to will.

At this moment, in that small chaos, Jiang Xuan was the master of time and space. All kinds of mysteries were constantly merging with himself. At the same time, the Dao rhythm of time and space merged into the Yuan Shen seemed to transform into an embryo, gestating the myriad Daos of the world. This was the beginning of "form"!
