Feeling that his insights had reached a bottleneck, and after a period of contemplation, he believed he had gained a certain understanding of the Yin Yang Principle, perhaps this was what Old Lu referred to as profundity. He decided to take the last Transcendence Pill and begin absorbing the threads of Law. If successful, he would smoothly enter the later stage of the Heavenly Unity Realm; as for achieving perfection, that would come naturally in due time.
Having made his preparations, he left the small wooden cabin in the woods with Xiao Hei. He intended to challenge his Heavenly Unity Realm at the large stone in Gourd Mouth. Although Old Lu mentioned that it was fine anywhere, he insisted on going there because he liked it. Unable to dissuade him, Old Lu relented, especially since Mo Wen no longer roamed around as he used to, alleviating Old Lu's worries about him falling into the river.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone, Xiao Hei played nearby. Since growing to two feet long, Little Guy had not increased in size; it remained just as it was. Adjusting his state, Mo Wen swallowed the last pill and began to circulate his Kung Fu, entering a state of comprehension where he would attempt to absorb the threads of Law. As his understanding deepened, Mo Wen felt himself standing on a massive wheel, black and white like a Taiji Diagram. He started to absorb the threads of Law; as a swirl of black Bai De from the Yin Yang Principle entered his body, he successfully transitioned into the later stage of the Heavenly Unity Realm. He felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body; his acupoints opened up, meridians relaxed, and surrounding Lingqi surged into him. The spirit within his Upper Dantian was continuously solidifying; although it had not yet taken form, it was much denser than before.
Then Mo Wen realized that his body was no longer under his control; his Kung Fu operated autonomously, and absorbing Law occurred naturally. Watching the Yin Yang Principle swirl into him and disappear within, he was overjoyed but quickly suppressed his emotional fluctuations to stabilize his mind; this was all he could do for now. There were no earth-shattering phenomena outside; Mo Wen's absorption of surrounding Lingqi did not create fluctuations like it did during the Refining Qi Realm. Everything within him continued to change; having absorbed eight threads of Law, one more would lead him to perfection.
As the ninth thread of Law entered his body, Mo Wen prepared to stop circulating his Kung Fu but found he still could not control its operation. Drawing from past experiences, he remained calm and turned his attention inward to observe the changes within him. Just as he focused inwardly, the tenth thread of Law entered his body. The Unity Realm Law did not evoke any special sensations upon entry and remained hidden afterward, making it impossible for cultivators to check their absorption status at any given moment.
After confirming that everything was fine and feeling no discomfort, he attempted to master the operation of his Kung Fu this time successfully. As he circulated it and sensed his Realm, he joyfully realized that he had achieved perfection in the Heavenly Unity Realm. All that remained was to spend some time consolidating and stabilizing it. However, he felt that something about this perfection seemed different but could not pinpoint any issues. Having learned from the anomalies during Refining Qi, he dared not experiment further; who knew what might happen? Shaking his head, perhaps he was overthinking things.
Returning with Xiao Hei to the front of the wooden cabin, Old Lu lay on a tree stump observing Mo Wen. He had grown accustomed to Old Lu's scrutiny; before him, it felt as if there were no secrets left—like a child standing bare before an adult.
