Chapter 567
The heart demon Zheng Fa had clearly resigned himself to his fate, and surprisingly, he even dared to ask a question.
He couldn't win a fight, couldn't escape, and besides, he was already here...
"Have you... heard of wave function collapse?"
"?"
He was just asking out of curiosity!
But with Zheng Fa's memories, he quickly understood: "You mean, I... uh, collapsed?"
"When you first arrived, you had countless souls, but as you approached my primordial spirit, you became exactly like me."
Zheng Fa nodded lightly.
The heart demon Zheng Fa was clearly not foolish:
"Does the primordial spirit have... an observer effect?"
He looked frustrated, clearly finding the theory too convoluted, and said, "Why don't you think for yourself?"
"…"
"I'm dumb! I can't figure this out."
"…I won't allow you to call yourself dumb."
"…I really can't, and there's too little information."
This was true; the theory was largely speculative—mainly because of the vast gap in their strengths, leaving him in a fog.
On the other hand, the heart demon was indeed a bit incompetent.
He couldn't think beyond his own knowledge and ideas.
And he had a tendency to cry.
That was something Zheng Fa looked down upon.
"…Should I just leave?"
Under Zheng Fa's disdainful gaze, the heart demon cautiously suggested.
"Wait!"
"…"
"You know all my techniques and have access to all my memories?"
"Uh-huh…"
"Then help me improve this 'Tiangang Disha Transformation.'"
The heart demon Zheng Fa suddenly looked up, his lips trembling.
I'm a heart demon, and you want me to work?
In the heart demon's desperate gaze, Zheng Fa slowly nodded:
"I think you can do this."
Although the heart demon didn't have anything new, his mind was filled with all of his own knowledge—wasn't that a form of advanced artificial intelligence?
Zheng Fa wanted to create a fundamental method that connected the "Fudao Foundation Establishment Method" to the "Tiangang Disha Transformation."
In fact, there were still many details that needed refinement, especially the "Tiangang Disha Transformation," which was extremely complex.
Even Senior Sister Zhang found it a bit of a headache.
The heart demon was perfect for this task.
But looking at the heart demon Zheng Fa's expression... it was clear he no longer wanted to live.
...
"He's awake!"
Half a month later, everyone finally saw Zheng Fa slowly open his eyes.
They couldn't help but rejoice.
Zhao Jingfan was the most delighted.
For the past half month, Zheng Fa had remained unconscious, and Master Zhang had been stealing glances at him.
He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles!
Now that Zheng Fa was awake, there were even tears in Zhao Jingfan's eyes...
But why did Zheng Fa still look a bit regretful?
Zheng Fa indeed felt regret.
A month wasn't his limit, but it was the heart demon's limit...
As soon as he opened his eyes, his soul flew from the Niwan Palace into the newly formed primordial spirit, the two rapidly merging into one, and the originally closed-eyed primordial spirit opened its eyes!
"It worked!"
Even the usually indifferent Master Huang exclaimed in excitement.
Clearly, Zheng Fa's tribulation had exhausted her.
It had worked.
As Zheng Fa's primordial spirit opened its eyes, the entire Jiushan Realm underwent tremendous changes:
The spiritual energy from outside surged into the Jiushan Realm, stirring the earth, fire, water, and wind into a frenzy.
The sun and moon hung in the sky, suppressing the turbulent spiritual energy.
Zheng Fa's primordial spirit was already larger than others, and at this moment, it opened its mouth, devouring the surrounding spiritual energy and radiant light, its body becoming more solid, and the aura emanating from it left Master Huang and the others in shock.
"Is this the early stage of the primordial spirit?"
Master Huang and Senior Sister Zhang exchanged glances, feeling that although Zheng Fa's primordial spirit had just formed, its spiritual power was already thicker than theirs, at least ten times that of an ordinary early-stage primordial spirit cultivator.
Senior Sister Zhang's expression was also complex as she spoke again:
"Actually, Zheng Shidi's Golden Core is profound, and his primordial spirit is powerful, which is quite normal..."
Master Huang smirked.
Previously, Zheng Fa's strength relied on the Fusang tree.
Now, it seemed that in terms of cultivation, Zheng Fa was indeed one of the most profound in the Jiushan Realm.
By her estimation, in terms of spiritual power, only Brother Yuan could surpass Zheng Fa.
But one must remember—Brother Yuan was already in seclusion, transcending to the Divine Transformation stage.
Zheng Fa had just formed his primordial spirit!
How could he compare?
Not to mention the Blood River Ancestor and Jiao Wuji, who were both looking on with astonishment—there was even more respect on their faces than usual.
Zheng Fa, however, was unaware of their surprise.
The feeling of the primordial spirit was completely different from that of the Golden Core—
His soul felt like a wanderer returning home, merging seamlessly with the primordial spirit, quickly becoming one.
As the primordial spirit gradually solidified, Zheng Fa felt his soul's range expanding.
Just as he was immersed in this realization, an inexplicable pull came from above.
It's here!
Zheng Fa had long anticipated that as he established his foundation and formed his Golden Core, he would have a talent for divine abilities.
The primordial spirit should have one too!
Like before, his soul followed this pull, slowly rising, but unlike before, Zheng Fa's primordial spirit also flew toward the outside of the Jiushan Realm.
He watched as the radiant light dragged Zheng Fa's primordial spirit out of the Jiushan Realm.
Master Huang's eyes widened even further.
"Is... is the Ascension to the Heavens real? Is it true what they say in the stories?"
Senior Sister Zhang was also unsure, but when she looked at the many ordinary people on Le Tu Island, they were all bowing reverently toward Zheng Fa's departing primordial spirit, clearly shaken by this legendary scene.
Not to mention the ordinary folks.
Even Elder Xiong from the Qingmu Sect and Sect Leader Song, along with other sect leaders attending the preparatory meeting, were all gaping, looking up as they watched Zheng Fa's primordial spirit fade into the distance, their expressions filled with doubt—clearly feeling that Zheng Fa's cultivation style was quite different from theirs.
...
Zheng Fa's face was also filled with confusion.
He followed this pull to the barrier of the Xuanwei Realm, initially gazing at the stars in contemplation.
After all, if those stars represented parallel worlds, or even individual Dao fruit cultivators...
That would be a significant problem.
Who knows how many powerful cultivators exist beyond the heavens?
This made him uneasy.
But after a while, he felt something was off...
He had come to settle his rewards, but why did this progress seem to be... stuck?
He could sense that his primordial spirit was resonating with certain existences beyond the heavens.
But the heavens had yet to bestow any divine abilities.
In the end, he even felt a sense of that resonance slowly fading.
Wait... where are my divine abilities?
Suddenly, the heavens lit up, and Zheng Fa looked up to see a bright light, like a shooting star, coming from the depths of the starry sky.
That light overshadowed the brilliance of all the stars.

Chapter 421: Refining the Hundred Classics, Worth It
Now, quite a few people in the Jiushan Sect were lining up, eager to be burned by the True Fire of the Sun.
Little Jinwu and Senior Sister Yuan needed the True Fire of the Sun to purify their bloodlines, not to mention Master Huang and the others who needed it to change their foundations.
Even...
"Master?"
In the main hall of Tiangong Island, looking at the Jiushan Ancestor before him, Zheng Fa slapped his forehead, finally remembering this old man:
The Jiushan Ancestor was now essentially a service provider for the Jiushan Sect, previously also serving as Senior Sister Zhang's magical treasure—but since the arrival of the Qingjing Bamboo, the Jiushan Ancestor had taken a back seat.
Zheng Fa hadn't seen this old man in a long time.
He glanced at Senior Sister Zhang beside the Ancestor and immediately understood her intention:
"You want me to... help the Ancestor reshape his foundation?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded, looking at the excited Jiushan Ancestor, and smiled:
"The Ancestor has ample spiritual power, but he perished due to the limitations of the Divine Transformation technique."
"While I can borrow the Yuanling Dao Body to use the Jiushan Seal, it’s still not complete."
"If we can use the True Fire of the Sun to reforge the Mountain River True Form Talisman, we can rectify the Ancestor's deficiencies, and our Jiushan Sect will quickly gain another Divine Transformation cultivator."
Upon hearing this, the Jiushan Ancestor grew even more anxious, his eyes eagerly fixed on Zheng Fa.
"It can be done; the Ancestor's body can be considered a type of magical treasure, and the True Fire of the Sun might indeed have some miraculous effects." Zheng Fa pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, "But I'm not yet proficient in the Divine Transformation technique, and I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the True Fire of the Sun, so the Ancestor may have to wait a while."
Reforging Master Huang's foundation was one thing.
The "Tiangang Disha Transformation" was something he had created himself, so he was very familiar with it.
But he had little understanding of the Divine Transformation technique.
He lacked the knowledge to perfect the Mountain River True Form Talisman at this time.
"I can wait! I can wait!" The Jiushan Ancestor jumped three feet high, excitedly saying, "I'll wait as long as it takes!"
Seeing him so eager, everyone in the hall found it both amusing and understandable.
