I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2422 - 1084: Entering the Purple Cloud Palace Again (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Regardless of how fiercely his divine sense surged, Chen Mobai effortlessly reined it in using the Saintly Virtue Dao Seed.
The Great Dao of Saintly Virtue embodies fate itself!
Individuals blessed with saintly virtue stand as the true bearers of immense Qi Luck.
As a result, dangers such as falling into depravity simply won't befall him.
Unsure of the exact duration, Chen Mobai at last sensed his divine sense piercing through the barrier, stepping into the mid-stage of Deity Transformation. Simultaneously, the potency of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill fully dissipated.
For most cultivators, achieving a breakthrough doesn't guarantee a solid foundation in the new realm.
This holds especially true when pushing forward through the aid of pills, where many end up regressing afterward.
Yet Chen Mobai had only just grasped the Pure Yang Great Dao!
His primordial spirit shifted anew into the form of an Azure Bird, releasing shards of Pure Yang Great Dao Power.
The freshly advanced divine sense, which felt a bit shaky, swiftly steadied itself, mimicking the deep-rooted stability earned from centuries of personal cultivation.
Still, this steadiness was nothing more than a deceptive sensation; while the Pure Yang Great Dao shielded him from any backslide, it couldn't replicate the deep familiarity built over time.
Therefore, as he directed his expansive divine sense, a touch of clumsiness and hesitation lingered.
These small hurdles posed no real threat, now that the realm was secured; all it would take was steady practice to blend it in over time.
With the Pure Yang Great Dao under his command, Chen Mobai burned with the desire to charge straight into Cultivating Void right away.
Though reaching Cultivating Void remained out of reach, boosting his second primordial spirit to a superior minor stage presented no challenge.
The primordial Yang Treasure Bead belonging to his second primordial spirit had once served as the Matriarch's Innate Fire Origin Inner Pill, brimming with innate Yuan Huo Spiritual Qi at the pinnacle of deity transformation. Earlier, Chen Mobai had gauged via the Crown of Heaven and Earth that converting it to Innate Pure Yang Qi would propel his second primordial spirit to the peak of mid-stage deity transformation.
Evidently, his assessment hit the mark perfectly.
Guided by the mid-stage deity transformation divine sense, over half of the innate fire origin spiritual Qi stored deep within the primordial Yang Treasure Bead melted away rapidly like frost under the sun, shifting from vivid crimson to gleaming golden Innate Pure Yang Qi.
This transformation would stretch on for quite a while, largely since Chen Mobai hadn't yet grown comfortable wielding his abruptly expanded divine sense. Fortunately, the profound fortune bestowed by saintly virtue, combined with the Pure Yang Great Dao's resistance to reversal, ensured success without fear of mishap.
After checking that the primordial Yang Treasure Bead progressed correctly, he set his attention elsewhere.
With a casual flick of his wrist, the Primordial Yang Sword hovering nearby dropped smoothly into his grasp.
[Thank you, Master, for granting me the Great Dao!]
The chubby Primordial Yang Sword Spirit materialized once more from within the blade, cupping its hands in a profound bow to honor Chen Mobai with a formal tribute.
The Primordial Yang Sword Spirit lifted from the sword's form and appeared, round and robust, pressed its palms together, and paid respects to Chen Mobai.
"Oh, you appear changed in some way!"
As he uttered those words, Chen Mobai examined closely and spotted a pair of bold, dark mustaches sprouting from both sides of the Primordial Yang Sword Spirit's mouth, lending it a more seasoned air.
[Master, my spirit body has surged in strength, probably shattering the barrier that's held for more than three millennia, reaching the sixth rank!]
The Primordial Yang Sword Spirit dipped its head and shared this groundbreaking revelation with Chen Mobai without delay.
Chen Mobai reached out, and the Sword Spirit guided the sword's handle right into his hold. At this point, even sans "The Union of Differences," he synced his mind perfectly with this elite flying sword of the immortal gate, attaining a Clear Heart of Sword!
The very moment the sword settled in his grip, the Saintly Virtue Dao Seed nestled in Chen Mobai’s Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge released a richer flow of Pure Divine Qi.
A timeless, ultimate Great Dao bridging eons past and future unveiled itself in that instant, channeled through the Primordial Yang Sword he clutched and the Saintly Virtue Dao Seed.
This marked the Innate Saintly Virtue Great Dao!
Chen Mobai sensed that whenever he chose, he could channel his primordial spirit to activate the Saintly Virtue Dao Seed, binding it to the Primordial Yang Sword he held, fusing seamlessly with this innate Great Dao.
Post-deity transformation cultivation focuses on harmonizing and honing the essence of Great Dao power.
Should the approach falter and the Great Dao's might overwhelm what a cultivator can process, assimilation by the Great Dao follows, erasing one's sense of self.
Sword Cultivators' practice of binding the primordial spirit exemplifies such a technique.
By treating the sword as a vessel to navigate the Great Dao, they draw forth its energies to probe their limits repeatedly, thereby refining Great Dao power with peak efficiency and accelerating progress.
In that revelation, Chen Mobai unlocked the insights on primordial spirit binding passed down by Bai Guang.
It resembled a Dao Fruit in essence!
Upon grasping it, Chen Mobai recognized that every Great Dao path converges toward unity.
Binding the primordial spirit draws on a cultivator's innate gifts, while Dao Fruit demands legacies from predecessors.
For Chen Mobai, this sword-based primordial spirit binding proved immensely valuable.
Lacking a saintly virtue Dao Fruit, painstakingly drawing out and tempering the Saintly Virtue Great Dao's power on his own would demand ages just to test the edges.
Through primordial spirit binding and the Primordial Yang Sword, he could double his gains with far less toil.
Following this purification, the Primordial Yang Sword now served as a vessel for saintly virtue, acting as a relay or haven along the Saintly Virtue Great Dao. Moreover, the Sword Spirit's aid simplified refining the Saintly Virtue Great Dao's power.
To his surprise, the second Azure Bird embodied the Saintly Virtue Great Dao!
With that realization, Chen Mobai rose to his feet and offered a respectful bow to the Azure Bird wheeling overhead.
A peculiar warmth stirred in his heart; though Dan Ding Taoist pursued the Nirvana Great Dao, the saintly virtue he nurtured wasn't faint, born from Chen Mobai's century of personal striving. This elevation into a Dao Seed left him convinced that his current triumphs owed much to his own relentless efforts.
