After climbing the ladder of success in the mortal world, crossing dimensional boundaries and ascending to the 22nd heaven, he had honed his skills, origins, and fighting abilities to perfection, considering himself invincible.
But only now, after witnessing and facing the golden mirror that perfectly replicated himself, was he truly free from the shackles of control.
From the perspective of an ordinary observer, he saw the overall picture of his own power system, and saw the subtle flaws hidden behind his overwhelming combat power that no one could break and that even he himself had never noticed.
He noticed a slight stagnation in his swordsmanship.
The speed of his sword was unrivaled among his peers, sharp and fast, slashing through the air without leaving a trace. However, even in the instant of changing moves and techniques, there was still a small, imperceptible pause.
This gap was so thin that in normal combat, the opponent would have no way to catch or exploit it. Even a powerful expert at the fourth level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm would be hard-pressed to perceive this fleeting weakness accurately.
The mirror image is different.
The system imitated all his instincts, knew all the gaps in his movements, and timed every counterattack precisely in those brief gaps.
With the same stagnation, the same gaps, and the same rhythm, that reverse oppression made him clearly realize the weak point of his own sword ability for the first time, and see the subtle flaws behind the ultimate perfection.
He saw a redundancy in the way things worked that was rooted in his own chaos.
Primordial chaos encompasses everything, devours all laws, and destroys all heavens; it was the ultimate source of the Great Dao, far surpassing this entire system of heaven and earth.
However, even during high-speed operation, extreme surges, and continuous attack and defense, there will still be a slight waste of power.
This scattered force was negligible, and a single explosion was almost insignificant. However, in a long, high-intensity, endlessly prolonged war, this power would accumulate layer by layer and be continuously consumed, eventually becoming a hidden threat that lowered combat power and limited capabilities.
In previous fights, his opponents would have been overwhelmed by his chaotic pressure and overwhelming combat power, with no chance to put up any resistance and weaken him. This hidden danger has never been revealed.
In a direct confrontation with the mirror image, both parties were completely evenly matched in strength, their movements were completely equal, and their rhythm was completely synchronized, with no quick winner or loser.
Only with endless deadlock could this potential redundancy be infinitely magnified and revealed clearly to his perception.
More importantly, he finally realized the true value of such heterogeneous nuclear power.
The nuclear imprint of the nuclear energy system does not belong to the spiritual laws of this world, nor to the ancient origins of the Great Dao. It surpassed the limitations of all cultivation systems in the Twenty-Two Heavens and was a completely independent, completely foreign, and completely unbreakable extraterrestrial force.
Previously, he only considered nuclear power as a special means to help break the deadlock and disband the formation.
But this battle made him realize that this glimmer of power was the only key to destroying all the established rules, solid systems, and checks and balance mechanisms that existed in this world.
No matter how powerful the source of chaos is, it still belongs to the realm of the Great Dao, and can be analyzed by laws, replicated by mirrors, and balanced by systems.
However, nuclear power cannot be tracked, analyzed, replicated, and controlled; this is a truly innovative force.
When one’s mind is clear, everything becomes clear.
The shackles of the Dao heart were broken in an instant, and the origin barrier slowly loosened.
David’s breathing became more regular, longer, and expansive, in harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth and echoing the Daoist principles of emptiness.
The vast ocean of primordial chaos deep in the dantian, which did not require external spiritual energy or the infusion of heaven and earth spiritual energy, began to operate spontaneously, compressing layer by layer, and condensing profoundly, solely through pure introspection, self-reflection, self-deconstruction, and self-refinement.
The primordial chaos, which was already perfectly formed and almost flawless, was undergoing a new round of transformation and sublimation at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Inside the guest room, there was no wind, no waves, no light, no extraordinary phenomena, and no resonance with heaven and earth.
An ordinary cultivator passing by would only think that the ordinary cultivator was meditating and regulating his breathing, completely unaware that a terrifying breakthrough across realms was taking place here.
In the next room, Xuanzhenzi leaned against the bed, fiddling with a bottle of aged spiritual wine in his hand, taking occasional sips, calming his mind and soul.
After experiencing a truly desperate situation, he was somewhat exhausted and wanted to rest quietly while waiting for the trade fair to start.
However, when he casually spread his divine sense into David’s room next door, David immediately froze on the spot.
