Lu Changsheng understood that he must find the commonalities among the three Sacred Bodies.
Using those commonalities as a foundation, he would attempt to fuse them.
Otherwise, failure was inevitable.
But what commonality could possibly connect the Mixed Cave Holy Body, Five-Color Divine Light Body, and Ten Directions Holy Body—these three pinnacle Sacred Bodies?
"The Mixed Cave Holy Body is derived from the Spiritual Black Hole Divine Power."
"The Five-Color Divine Light Body is derived from the Five Elements Decomposition Divine Power."
"The Ten Directions Holy Body is formed through the transformation of the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind Laws."
"So, what commonality exists among the three of them?"
The Ten Directions Holy Body and the Five-Color Divine Light Body do share common ground.
For instance, the Five Elements Earth and the Earth Law.
Although significantly different, they do share similarities.
But what of the Mixed Cave Holy Body?
"The world is composed of time, space, spirit, and matter."
"The Mixed Cave Holy Body can represent spirit."
"The Five-Color Divine Light Body and the Ten Directions Holy Body can represent matter."
"But this is far too broad, and still lacks any significant commonality."
Lu Changsheng’s extraordinary comprehension sparked countless inspirations, clashing together to produce flashes of insight.
Perhaps some of these inspirations were enough to make Lu Changsheng exclaim in admiration.
Unfortunately, they still couldn’t fuse the three Sacred Bodies.
Time slipped away day by day.
Five days, ten days, twenty days, one month...
Lu Changsheng’s physical body was incredibly resilient.
It could stay uncorrupted and immortal, but only with consciousness intact.
And Lu Changsheng, in generating flashes of insight, was consuming consciousness at an alarming rate, draining vast amounts of energy.
At this moment, he could only keep his thoughts moving.
The three Sacred Bodies had splintered, rendering Lu Changsheng immobile.
If he moved, chaos would erupt within him, and all his efforts would be wasted.
Under these conditions, his physical body could last at most three to five months.
Beyond that, his physical body would definitely collapse.
One month, two months, three months...
This was no ordinary retreat for cultivation.
Every day, every moment, Lu Changsheng’s spirit was depleting.
Thus, in just a few months, he had already consumed vast amounts of energy.
Even with his powerful physical body, his current state did not look favorable. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
In these months, though he had repeatedly failed, even with fifty thousand points in the Five Elements, Lu Changsheng had not wavered in his resolve.
But no matter how steadfast he remained, he still had no leads.
He had considered everything he could imagine.
Either it felt too far-fetched, or it lacked any practical effect.
Yet, to this day, he still hadn’t found any commonality among the three Sacred Bodies.
The root of the challenge lay in the Mixed Cave Holy Body, which fundamentally belonged to the category of spiritual Sacred Bodies.
The gap between it and the other two Sacred Bodies was too vast.
Finding common ground was as difficult as ascending the heavens.
Lu Changsheng gazed at the already fragmented three Sacred Bodies.
Countless thoughts surfaced in his mind.
Suddenly, a certain idea flickered in his mind.
Perhaps it was a flash of extraordinary inspiration sparked by his fifty-thousand-point comprehension.
Lu Changsheng entertained a new possibility.
Why was he insistent on finding commonalities among the three Sacred Bodies?
Why limit himself to the mutual ground of three Sacred Bodies, rather than thirty, three hundred, or even those encompassing every Sacred Body?
What could possibly encompass all rules in existence?
Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of the cosmos from his past life.
There was a theory: the cosmos was born out of a great explosion.
In the aftermath, everything in the cosmos returned to chaos.
Coincidentally, the word "chaos" appeared countless times in mythical legends as well.
Chaos—the state where rules are indistinguishable and the Great Dao remains hidden.
Everything in existence is contained within chaos.
Only by breaking through chaos can a world be born.
So, what then is the commonality among three Sacred Bodies, or thirty Sacred Bodies, or three hundred Sacred Bodies?
What has the ability to embrace all things in existence?
What is the essential nature of everything in existence?
At that moment, Lu Changsheng experienced a moment of epiphany.
His thoughts brimmed with unshakable determination.
Chaos encompasses all!
No matter the rules, no matter the Sacred Body.
Chaos embraces everything.
Because everything in existence originally stems from chaos.
Chaos, indefinable, immeasurable, unfathomable...
Lu Changsheng felt his gaze grow brighter and brighter.
He had found hope and a direction.
And with direction, his fifty-thousand-point comprehension finally unleashed its terrifying potential.
Just a fleeting thought from Lu Changsheng earlier had now taken hold.
With the overwhelming boost from his comprehension, he began to wield the fragmented three Sacred Bodies, initiating collisions.
Each collision continued to erode and consume one another.
Even producing a massive explosion.
But Lu Changsheng wasn’t disheartened.
In fact, the explosions were exactly what he sought!
Only through such explosions could everything revert to chaos.
Thus, attempts one, two, three...
Lu Changsheng couldn’t tell exactly how many collisions he had attempted between the three Sacred Bodies.
Nor how many explosions they had undergone.
Perhaps tens of thousands.
But the numbers weren’t important.
What mattered was that through these incessant explosions and collisions of the three Sacred Bodies, Lu Changsheng ultimately captured a fleeting moment.
The moment when the three Sacred Bodies fully returned to chaos.
It was during that fleeting moment that Lu Changsheng seized upon it with uncanny precision.
Lu Changsheng immediately began the fusion process.
The three Sacred Bodies exploded completely.
The explosion radiated destruction.
Yet within destruction lay opportunity.
Amid constant explosions, Lu Changsheng’s physical body endured it all through sheer force.
