The Great Tao cultivated to the Twelfth Layer can also be called the Path to Heaven.

What Lu Chengfeng aimed to do was to comprehend the mysteries of transformation among the 129,600 paths.

He immersed himself in seclusion training, using three Paths to Heaven to evolve three transformations: Heaven-Encompassing Transformation, Peacock Transformation, and White Ape Transformation.

Heaven-Encompassing Transformation excels in trapping enemies, Peacock Transformation can suppress ten thousand laws, and White Ape Transformation is superior in slaughter, each possessing its unique wonders.

Lu Chengfeng's transformations are no less impressive than a First Grade Divine Venerate.

At this stage, he was confident he could traverse the Three Realms.

Therefore, even when the outside world was in chaos, he remained unmoved like a mountain.

Even if the enemy had reached his doorstep, he remained indifferent.

The reason being, although his Lifebound Divine Techniques hadn't fully taken shape, he already possessed three Heaven-Reaching Transformations, capable of contending with a Divine Venerate, traversing the Three Realms with ease and fearlessness.

He did not inform Luo Suyi in hopes that she too might feel a sense of urgency and intensify her training for further advancement.

If one day the couple could both reach Celestial Veneration, they could wander the world for ten thousand years as an immortal couple.

Although Lu Chengfeng had mastered three Heaven-Reaching Transformations, he had not yet fully grasped the profound Guanyin Transformation, as his comprehension of transformation's mysteries wasn't deep enough to perfectly manifest a Celestial Venerate level Great Tao.

However, he wasn't in a hurry; once he reached the stage of transforming into Guanyin, his Path of Transformation would naturally lead straight to the Twelfth Layer, to witness the Heavenly Dao.

His mind and the Bright Pearl fused into one, his understanding of the Path of Transformation transformed into Immortal Light, shooting straight into the sky.

In the faint light of the Immortal Light, one could see the Triple Layer Pavilion.

On the first layer, the White Jade Peacock holds its ground, suppressing with Five-Colored Divine Light.

On the second layer, the Spirit Communication White Ape stands guard, the Mixed Iron Rod glimmering brightly.

On the third layer, the Heaven-Encompassing Divine Venerate presides, the Heaven-Encompassing Umbrella encompassing all things.

His Path of Transformation has currently deduced to the Triple Layer Pavilion.

However, in terms of combat power, by employing the three Heaven-Reaching Transformations, he could battle against Divine Venerates and contend with Celestial Venerates.

But those three Paths to Heaven were others' paths, not his own Great Tao. Though they afforded combat power, they weren't his own Tao cultivation.

The transformations within the Triple Layer Pavilion were his true foundation.

According to Lu Chengfeng's deductions, he needed to comprehend twelve Heaven-Reaching Transformations to evolve the Path of Transformation to the Twelfth Layer, to witness the Heavenly Dao.

By then, he would qualify to fully deduce the transformations of a Celestial Venerate's level.

With his current Tao cultivation, even if he forcibly employed the Guanyin Transformation, he could not completely manifest its Great Tao, better to perfect the three Heaven-Reaching Transformations instead.

He planned to position the Heaven-Encompassing Transformation as the top floor of the Twelfth Layer, the Five Elements Transformation as the bottom floor, and fill the remaining transformations in between to complete the Twelve Transformations.

Thus, he dubbed his Lifebound Divine Techniques the Twelve Heaven-Reaching Transformations.

With twelve Heaven-Reaching Transformations, he would forge the Twelfth Layer to witness the Heavenly Dao.

From mastering the first transformation, his Great Tao Divine Techniques could be considered initially formed, but only when reaching the Twelfth Layer would this Divine Technique be deemed complete.

Lu Chengfeng's breakthroughs and training caused no earth-shattering phenomena, unlike the Red Dog who inhaled and exhaled the Great Sun, unlike Luo Suyi who triggered the Three Lights of sun, moon, and stars, even alarming the Ancient River Divine King.

The mysteries of his cultivation all evolved within the small Bright Pearl, showing no signs, leakages, yet increasing daily, like rising water lifting a boat, visible bottlenecks, endless.

While the Red Dog secluded itself in transformation, as Luo Suyi embarked on her Dharma Form, he silently advanced the Path of Transformation to the Twelfth Layer.

However, he felt that only mastering twelve Heaven-Reaching Transformations would his Lifebound Divine Techniques be complete, so he felt no joy or emotional stirring.

...

As Lu Chengfeng secluded himself for comprehension of the Heaven-Reaching Transformations, the Divine Spirits dispatched by the Ancient River Divine King finally located the position of the Cyan Nether Palace.

Some Divine Spirits delved into the seabed, then using their Divine Techniques, traversed deep within the earth, accidentally discovering the deep hole smashed out by the Cyan Nether Palace.

This immediately alarmed other Divine Spirits, and soon dozens of Divine Spirits skilled in Escape Techniques cautiously investigated, quickly sighting the Cyan Nether Palace that had plunged tens of thousands of miles to the seabed.

Only to see the Cyan Nether Palace radiating cyan light amidst the endless darkness, ancient and deep, like a submerged Dragon Palace, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that naturally deterred approach.

"Here, the Cyan Nether Palace actually fell here." The first discovering Divine Spirit practiced the Four Symbols Escape Technique, able to traverse through Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

Upon seeing the Cyan Nether Palace, he immediately displayed an extremely excited expression, "The phenomena that occurred earlier must be related to the Cyan Nether Palace."

Being the first to discover the Cyan Nether Palace, he was bound to be credited with the highest merit and receive great rewards from the Divine King, further advancing his cultivation.

The other summoned Divine Spirits gazed at the Cyan Nether Palace with a hint of restlessness, "Should we head over there to investigate?"

"Are you courting death?" A Divine Spirit hurriedly pulled him back, "The Cyan Nether Palace is a Heavenly venue, if you dare to approach, you'll be instantly suppressed to death."

"Moreover, the earlier phenomena that alarmed the Divine King might be caused by a Divine Venerate, heading there now would simply be courting death."

"Quickly, leave now, report everything here, and the benefits will naturally be ours."

As they spoke, they took out Celestial God Seals, intending to relay the information back to the Divine Realm.

Since the time Celestial Patrol Divine Venerable and Earth Mother Dragon Venerate occupied Shenxiao Palace and seized the Gods' List, many Immortals and Buddhas relinquished the Divine Court Talisman Decree, unwilling to be subject to others.
