Chapter 964 Opening Up a Grotto-Heaven (Part 2)

It was a wisp of earthy yellow energy representing the [Law of Earth], which was originally colliding violently with the crimson energy representing the [Law of Fire].

With a gentle thought, Jing Yu directed the earthy yellow airflow towards the "below" of the black hole, while simultaneously introducing a wisp of azure airflow representing the [Law of Water] between the two.

Earth becomes firm when moistened by water, and fire is contained when it encounters moisture.

The original conflict eased instantly, and the three began to slowly construct the material properties within the new cave.

Immediately afterwards, Jing Yu's divine sense, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, precisely sought every balance point amidst the turbulent energy currents.

He slowly harmonized the violent yin and yang energies, making them rotate like a tai chi symbol, becoming the core power source for the operation of the grotto.

He gently smoothed out the distorted folds of spacetime, and time began to flow within the cave, while the outer walls of the cave space also stabilized...

This is a process that is both extremely delicate and extremely dangerous.

Any mistake, however small, could trigger a chain reaction of collapse.

Jing Yu's soul was under unimaginable pressure, as if she were dancing on a tightrope over a precipice, with the abyss of backlash from the laws beneath her feet.

His consciousness began to waver slightly, a sign that his spirit was slightly overdrawn.

"Even opening a grotto-heaven level divine sense is this difficult?" Jing Yu thought to herself, "Ordinary cultivators simply have no way to open a grotto-heaven without relying on treasures!"

Ordinary cultivators, at the very beginning of opening their own cave heaven, have already placed [suppressing treasures] to stabilize it. With the suppression of these treasures, the opening of the cave heaven will be a hundred times or a thousand times smoother.

However, Jing Yu was determined not to rely on any treasures to suppress the cave, which naturally made things difficult for him.

But he cannot stop now.

Jing Yu's [Needles of Divine Thought] became increasingly swift, flying everywhere with ever-smoother fluidity, like a craftsman whose skill had reached perfection, reshaping the world on the verge of collapse.

When the last strand of pale gray thread representing the [Law of Fate] was drawn by Jing Yu's divine sense and embedded into the grotto-heaven—

The entire raging, chaotic, and collapsing "black hole" suddenly paused.

Immediately afterwards, a deep, vast, and orderly "pulse" slowly spread from the fist-sized black hole.

dong... dong... dong...

The sound was like the heartbeat of a newborn baby, faint yet firm, carrying a primal vitality as if the world had been created.

It gradually overlapped with Jing Yu's flesh, bones, and meridians, along with his own pulse, breath, and even the fluctuations of his soul, eventually becoming the same frequency.

The original black hole emitted a mesmerizing glow, the color of stars, and an almost perfect sphere floated in Jing Yu's dantian.

He looked within himself.

Inside the sphere, one could vaguely see the clear and turbid energies slowly separating; the clear energy rose to become the sky, while the turbid energy sank to become the earth.

The material foundation constructed by the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth filled the newly created cave with various substances that were no different from those in the real world, including minerals, trees, rivers, oceans, and volcanic lava.

These are the things of the Five Elements.

These seemingly ordinary elements are still evolving, and a very small portion of them have evolved into rare and precious natural treasures imbued with spiritual energy.

A clear spring continuously absorbed the spiritual energy within the cave, transforming into the [Spirit Cleansing Spring].

The ore buried deep underground gradually turned dark black, transforming into [black iron ore].

Deep within a volcano, a flame grew stronger and stronger, evolving into a Foundation Establishment level spiritual fire called [Fallen Heart Flame].

Jing Yu casually exhaled a breath of spiritual energy, and a surge of spiritual energy instantly rose within the cave, creating countless rare and precious materials of the five elements.

Then, as the Yin and Yang energies continued to spread, some treasure lands related to Yin and Yang gradually formed and began to produce treasures with Yin and Yang attributes.

The boundaries of the inner cave continued to expand until they gradually stopped when they reached a radius of about one million miles.

“Success…” Jing Yu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. This breath was incredibly long, and it even stirred up a breeze on the desolate surface of the star, stirring up dust and turning it into a dust storm that lingered for a long time.

"After the cave is opened, the fundamental laws will affect the environment within the cave."

Jing Yu thought to herself, "For example, if we take the Five Elements Law as the foundational law, the cave within the body will form all kinds of Five Elements treasure lands. As long as there is a continuous supply of spiritual energy, we can mass-produce Five Elements-type natural treasures."

"Although these rare and precious materials are just common items at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment levels, as time goes by and their cultivation levels rise, the quality of the rare and precious materials they produce will always become higher and higher."

"Once a cultivator reaches the Cave Heaven Realm, they acquire some of the attributes of a [Producer], requiring only a small amount of spiritual energy to give back to heaven and earth."

“Generally, the size of a cultivator’s inner cave is about tens of thousands of miles in diameter when they first enter the Cave Heaven Realm. But perhaps because I have refined the [Law of Space] into my acupoints and made it the foundational law, the size of my cave has expanded to millions of miles in diameter as soon as I opened it.”

"Without external objects, it forms its own paradise..."

Jing Yu muttered to herself, a joyful and expectant smile finally appearing on her lips: "The Divine Dream Daoist wasn't talking nonsense. This path really can be followed."

He knew that this was just the beginning. This nascent grotto-heaven needed a long period of nurturing and expansion, and needed to incorporate more insights into the laws of nature, before it could grow into a true "world of its own."

But he has already taken the most important and dangerous first step, and he has taken it with unwavering firmness.

On a desolate planet, the gray-robed cultivator sat as still as an ancient rock. Within him, a tiny "world" was breathing slowly and growing quietly according to its own rhythm, like a seed buried deep in frozen soil, which would eventually break through all shackles and support its own sky.

"Let's see if the Cave Heaven chapter of the [Mirror of Destiny] can be activated."

After opening up the cave, Jing Yu did not relax. Instead, he looked serious and made hand seals.

A hazy gray [Divine Power Seal] slowly condensed within the body's inner cave, and countless spiritual energies surged wildly into this divine power seal, making the mark appear increasingly solid and the patterns increasingly intricate.

"It can be done."

Jing Yu was clearly relieved. Although he had simulated it countless times in the [Dream Realm], it was still a virtual result. Even if he succeeded every time in the dream, there was still a possibility of failure in reality.

"The [Fate Realm] divine power is complete," Jing Yu said with a light laugh.

The so-called supernatural power "Fate Realm" is the operational foundation of the "Inquiry Mirror Observation Method" Cave Heaven Chapter, a supernatural power created by Jing Yu's Qi Refining Cave Heaven Realm.

This supernatural power is a domain-based supernatural power.

It is based on the [Divine Dream Law], weaving a "Fate Illusion" that intertwines reality and illusion, and then using the [Law of Fate] to tamper with the perception of one's own destiny by the beings within the domain.

The practitioner must use their divine sense as a guide to transform their own deduction of the trajectory of fate into an invisible domain that covers all directions.
