Chen Mo’s current state was very peculiar.
His consciousness seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, yet his perception became exceptionally clear, as if he was simultaneously engulfed by a sea of fire and glaciers; on one side was a blazing heat capable of burning everything in the world, while on the other was an absolutely cold and dead void.
The two seemed to be wrestling, constantly tugging at his Divine Soul.
This left Chen Mo doubting whether he might be torn to shreds alive.
However, these two forces were quite measured; whenever he felt it was unbearable, they would stop tugging as if by tacit understanding, and a force would flow in to repair his Divine Soul. Once fully restored, the tug-of-war would begin anew.
Over time, Chen Mo became numb to it.
Since there was no risk of dying, he simply watched them perform from an observer’s perspective.
With each tear and fusion, something indescribable would integrate into his Divine Soul, and his understanding of the world’s origin deepened step by step.
Until the thirty-ninth tear, nothing new integrated.
Chen Mo thought it would stop there, but unexpectedly, a wisp of purple light suddenly surged forth, enveloping his Divine Soul, making the two restless forces docile.
The world seemed to have hit the mute button.
Chen Mo lost all five senses, floating in the darkness, with only his thoughts like a glowworm, illuminating his slow disintegration—
His flesh turned into stardust, bones split into mountains, and meridians unfurled into the networks of rivers.
"Is this the Integration of Dao?"
He suddenly understood.
The so-called Integration of Dao is to elevate one’s life level to resonate with the laws of heaven and earth.
This process comprises three stages: Body Integration, Soul Integration, and Dao Integration.
As the name suggests, it means bearing Dao Power with the physical body, resonating with laws through the Divine Soul, and comprehending one’s own unique Dao Seal.
However, this is the ideal state. In reality, those who obtain the "Dao Seal" in the Third Grade are extremely rare, while most cultivators, even after breaking through Second Grade, remain in the stage of "Body Integration."
This not only determines the future upper limit of cultivation but also affects one’s own strength.
An ordinary Second-grade Grandmaster might not even be a match for a Third-grade "Dao Integration"; if the law comprehended is of combat type, even a Third-grade "Soul Integration" might rub them on the ground.
Moreover, entering the First Grade realm and coagulating a Dao Fruit requires the prerequisite of obtaining a Dao Seal.
"Then what does this make me?"
"Directly skipping ’Body Integration’ and entering the stage of ’Soul Integration’?"
Chen Mo pondered secretly.
In fact, his body had long been tempered thousands of times.
First, it was refined through the Mixed Element Furnace Skill, then transformed by the Xuantian Canglong Transformation, further strengthened by the Green Lotus Seed and Soldier Control Seal...
It had almost reached the limits of Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation.
Skipping the first stage seems quite normal.
Yet he was still somewhat unsure about which law had truly integrated into him, feeling like it was based on Dragon Qi, alongside the aura of calamity and Returning Ruins, with some other things mixed in.
At this moment, Chen Mo suddenly noticed that in the deep darkness around him, some faint pinkish-white luminescence began to appear.
An indescribable feeling filled his heart, as if an unseen bond had formed.
Tightly connected, inseparable.
"What’s happening?"
