Celestial Star, the Lei Ji Mountain Range.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged within the miniature world. At this moment, he had already been in seclusion for more than a month.
Yet not a trace of aura emanated from his body. He seemed like an ordinary mortal who knew nothing of cultivation. Even the power of qi and blood throughout his body was not surging at all right now; if an outsider were to see him, it would be hard to imagine that Lu Yuan was in seclusion.
In reality, however, within his sea of consciousness, the little golden figure representing his innate spirit was radiating infinite brilliance.
It sat quietly cross-legged beneath the Ancient Bodhi Tree, its entire body exuding an incomparably profound and enigmatic aura. More importantly, as time passed, stars hovered and circled around it one by one.
Even more significant was what unfolded within Lu Yuan's mind: ever since he first entered seclusion, after the universe's first clap of thunder, stars emerged, and all living things began to grow.
Yet this process occurred at incredible speed. In the span of a single breath, heaven and earth seemed to undergo a cycle of ephemeral birth and destruction.
Lu Yuan had watched this scene for who knew how long. Even now, his cultivation realm had still not changed.
Yet he could sense that his soul power had already grown to a terrifying degree. In particular, with the passage of time, his understanding of the rise and fall, the birth and destruction of all things, grew ever more profound.
Finally, Lu Yuan came to an enlightenment: this was the power of the Heavenly Position Laws. The so-called Heavenly Position represented heaven and earth itself—the beginning and end of all things. Once he understood this and began to comprehend it, he had already succeeded.
Thus, time continued to slip by. Who knew how long had passed when, on this day, Lu Yuan quietly opened his eyes.
Yet still, no aura surfaced from his body. There was no surge of formidable power around him either; it seemed as if this seclusion had yielded no results.
However, moments later, a faint smile suddenly spread across his face. For in the very next instant, when Lu Yuan rose to his feet—
An indescribably immense might abruptly burst forth. The miniature world began to tremble violently, as if unable to bear this power. A formidable aura surged out, sweeping across heaven and earth and the vast skies. Fortunately, this was merely a created space devoid of living beings.
Otherwise, by this terrifying might alone, countless living beings would have been forced to prostrate on the ground. Because at this very moment, Lu Yuan had fully comprehended the Heavenly Position Laws.
What he was doing now was receiving that power. Thus, the barrier of Creation Immortal that had confined him for a long time came crashing down with a roar.
Lu Yuan's strength and realm soared in a straight climb within moments. Strands of qi and blood surged across his body.
They were no longer purely golden, but a blend of gold and crimson, carrying a sacred air. Furthermore, upon closer inspection, one would discover traces of purple mingled within.
This purple hue had arisen from Lu Yuan fusing with the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Token and intertwining with it completely.
Because of this, an indescribable, distinct aura was added to his person, making him seem like a true Heavenly Emperor had descended. Of course, because the intertwining was not yet thorough enough, coupled with his cultivation realm not yet reaching that height, this aura was not obvious. One had to observe closely and investigate carefully to truly perceive it.
Regardless, Lu Yuan had now attained the Heavenly Position Immortal realm!
"I thought the breakthrough might shake heaven and earth, but to think it was nothing of the sort," Lu Yuan murmured, sensing the tremendous power coursing through him and the changes in his body. A smile could not help but surface in his eyes.
This realm could be said to be the one that had trapped him for the longest time since he began cultivating and evolving. Yet when he breached it, it had not caused much commotion.
Naturally, a fundamental reason was also that he had not fully unleashed all his power.
"I just wonder whether I can battle a Supreme Immortal now." Suddenly, such a thought sprang to Lu Yuan's mind.
Back when he was a Creation Immortal, if he went all out, he truly could battle a Heavenly Position Immortal and even emerge victorious.
Of course, slaying one would have been quite troublesome. But now that he had reached Heavenly Position Immortal, what about facing the strongest, a Supreme Immortal?
Would he still be able to fight across realms as before? Lu Yuan was not entirely sure, but upon careful thought, he felt it was improbable.
The further one advanced in the Immortal Realm, the greater the disparity became. A Supreme Immortal was the ultimate peak of the Immortal Realm, wielding all kinds of unfathomable power. Under such circumstances, no matter how profound his foundation or how formidable his combat prowess, he would likely struggle to put up a fight. In particular, once an entity like that became completely serious, everything would be entirely different.
Thus, Lu Yuan believed he could not do it—at least, not yet. He felt a slight trace of disappointment about this.
Yet he did not dwell on it. After all, he had already reached Heavenly Position Immortal. The next step was Supreme Immortal.
And this step could not be taken too slowly, but neither could he rush it. One had to know that in the starry skies, there were many who reached Heavenly Position Immortal—at least dozens, perhaps even over a hundred—yet what about Supreme Immortals?
Only the Domain Lords of the Ten Great Star Domains. Could one say those Heavenly Position Immortals lacked talent? Hardly. After all, to reach this stage, who among them had not truly been a paragon of heaven? Yet in the end, they were still stuck at this realm.
Therefore, as the saying went, one had to take things step by step. Without dwelling on it any longer, Lu Yuan took a step forward and walked out of the miniature world.
At this time, he noticed that the aura of the Extraterrestrial Demons outside had mostly vanished. Not just in the Lei Ji Mountain Range, but across the entire Celestial Star.
"What happened?" Sensing this, a flicker of doubt appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes. Previously, he knew that although his side had gained the upper hand, there were still powerful experts among the Extraterrestrial Demons using their mysterious power to influence the entire Celestial Star. Logically speaking, completely driving them out was not impossible, but it should have taken a considerable amount of time.
Yet from the time he began his seclusion until now, barely a month had passed. And the aura of the Extraterrestrial Demons had actually almost completely disappeared.
Lu Yuan naturally harbored great doubts. However, not long after he emerged, Jiang Ningxian sensed him and hurried over.
When she noticed that Lu Yuan's aura was different from before, a look of wonder could not help but appear on her face. "Father was right. You really broke through! Are you a Heavenly Position Immortal now?" Seeing his breakthrough, Jiang Ningxian was also exceptionally excited.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded; there was no need to deny it. But with doubts in mind, he did not waste any words and directly asked what had happened—why the aura of the Extraterrestrial Demons across the entire Celestial Star had begun to completely dissipate.
