I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2483 - 1108: Wen Dao Three Times
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Waves of emotion surged through Chen Mobai's heart. He never imagined that, in the midst of this Immortal Water Spiritual Root enlightenment, he would unexpectedly step onto the path of the Innate Yin Yang Great Dao.
It resembled stumbling upon a radiant pearl while casting a net in the boundless sea, full of shock and surprise.
Yet, recalling his mastery of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, this development seemed almost inevitable.
After all, he was a bearer of immense Qi Luck.
Chen Mobai drew in a steady breath, steadying his surging feelings. With the Pure Yang Scroll True Intent still echoing deep in his heart and soul, he sank back into meditation to probe if he could uncover deeper secrets of the Innate Yin Yang Great Dao.
His awareness plunged into the Primordial Spirit, gradually exploring this fresh force of the Yin Yang Great Dao.
As moments ticked by, under the guidance of the lingering Pure Yang Scroll True Intent from Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, his Primordial Spirit shifted into a Tai Chi Diagram.
Within that diagram, dark and light forces twisted together, blended, pushed apart, and divided, giving rise to endless visions of what could be.
In the midst of this, Chen Mobai's awareness started to grasp why Purple Sky Daoist Venerable began with the Yin Yang Great Dao. This path held the enigmas of the "Pure Yang" domain.
A single force has its bounds, but duality unlocks boundless potential.
When two clashing yet harmonious Great Daos dwell within one being, they unleash tremendous might.
Such is the essence of the Yin Yang Great Dao.
Just lately, Chen Mobai had completed his study of the Five Great Scripture from the Patching Heaven Lineage, which outlined the five phases prior to the universe's birth, the final one called "Tai Chi."
An ordinary cultivator might read the Five Great Scripture and simply marvel at how the universe's origin is so straightforward yet profound. But Chen Mobai, having sat through lessons in the Purple Cloud Palace, drew parallels between the teachers' explanations of creation and spotted hints of genesis in the Five Great Scripture.
Purple Sky Daoist Venerable described the Innate Five Great as the step of "Dao begetting one."
Following Tai Chi comes "Two begetting Three," symbolizing how beings harness the Great Dao to unfold the Three Thousand Great Daos of the cosmos.
At last, "Three begetting all things" signifies the eternal cycle of the Great Dao bringing forth creation.
Upon seizing the initial thread of the Innate Yin Yang Great Dao's power, Chen Mobai suddenly gained insight into the Five Great Scripture, the Purple Cloud Palace teachings, and the Seven Great Heavenly Books he had perused before.
Still, these elements missed a vital link to bind them together.
What was absent?
Chen Mobai found himself lost in profound reflection.
After quite some time, he shook his head and returned to the present.
For now, these issues held little weight for him; ultimately, the Saintly Virtue and End of Destiny Great Dao offered the clearest route to Pure Yang.
Though grasping the Yin Yang Great Dao brought delight, for him, it served merely as a bonus.
The pressing task lay in applying the Immortal Skill of Patching Heaven to himself, evolving into the Five Elements Immortal Spirit Body.
With this in mind, Chen Mobai ceased his musings and delays, summoning the Second Primeval Spirit to appear and enact the spell upon him.
In moments, vibrant lights streamed into his forehead, shifting into an arcane force that fused with his essence, coursed through the meridians, and lodged in the organs tied to the Spiritual Root.
Insights from Three Extremes and Yuan Xu, along with Qing Ping's accounts, raced through Chen Mobai's thoughts. Swiftly, he seized the slippery Five Elements Spiritual Root, converting it to formless white essence and drawing it out.
Following some redistribution, the white essence merged into the intestines and lungs, reshaping into the Metal Spiritual Root.
Roughly fifteen minutes passed before Chen Mobai's eyes fluttered open, golden glows erupting from his gaze like twin beams of light.
He grasped the spirit-testing tools, promptly invoked the Immortal Skill of Patching Heaven once more, and the Five Elements Spiritual Root displayed anew on the monitor.
[Metal 100, Wood 40, Water 53, Fire 100, Earth 100].
The Spiritual Root refinement proved highly effective, and with the Metal Spiritual Root hitting 100 points, Chen Mobai underwent yet another burst of insight.
This round of enlightenment, though, didn't deliver the vast rewards of the Immortal Water Spiritual Root session.
It merely boosted the Precious Golden Light to Rank-5.
Chen Mobai rarely cultivated metal attribute techniques, save for this one he had honed with great effort and invested the most hours in. Still, as his cultivation rose, this spell saw less use.
His foes often wielded Rank-5 magical treasures as support, with some even possessing Sixth Rank Supreme Treasures.
Via this Immortal Gold Spiritual Root enlightenment, after upgrading the Precious Golden Light, Chen Mobai gained an extra ace against Divinity Transformation foes.
Should an enemy grow careless, a direct clash could see them overpowered by him, forfeiting a Fifth Rank artifact.
Against Zhuo Ming's All Things Spiritual Communication or Qing Nu's Mystic Fusion of All Transformations, Chen Mobai's Rank-5 Precious Golden Light might just be a spell for magical combat, yet it suited him best in practicality.
In the end, his path demanded combat and conquest.
After rehearsing the upgraded Rank-5 Precious Golden Light one more time, Chen Mobai satisfiedly reached for the nearby Big Tree Immortal Fruit.
Once refined, his Wood Spiritual Root would hit 100 points too, paving the way for today's third enlightenment.
At this thought, Chen Mobai wasted no more time, took the Fifth Rank Immortal Fruit, slipped it between his lips, enveloped it with Innate Pure Yang Qi based on the wisdom of past Immortal Gate Divinity Transformation experts, and gulped it down.
As the Big Tree Immortal Fruit broke down inside him, Chen Mobai sensed an overwhelming rush of life force flooding every corner of his form.
Detecting this, Chen Mobai shaped a hand seal, ready to impose a seal on himself and tuck away the excess vigor beyond his current capacity into his Dantian Qi Sea.
Immortal cultivators of bygone eras typically took Rank-5 Everlife Immortal Fruits. Their annals noted that only at the mid-stage of Deity Transformation could one fully process the immense vitality within this fruit. If eaten during the early Deity Transformation phase, this sealing approach allowed gradual absorption and refinement as cultivation progressed, avoiding any loss.
Yet right as Chen Mobai moved to seal it, every aperture across his body flared open like portals, greedily devouring and drawing in the plentiful vitality surging through him.
This was the Longevity Technique in action!
Witnessing this, Chen Mobai broke into a joyful grin.
He had long ago grasped this core art of the Longevity Sect, and in spare moments, he would sit in meditation, pulling in heaven and earth's vitality to bolster himself.
That said, absent the aid of a Rank-5 Spiritual Plant, the Crown of Heaven and Earth estimated it would require around one hundred twenty years to fully master this supreme technique.
Rank-5 Spiritual Plants aid practice by offering the richest and purest vitality.
The Rank-5 Everlife Immortal Fruit Chen Mobai had just eaten was cultivated using the Great Dao of Life's power from the Spirit of Great Chun, yielding superior results compared to the three Everlife Woods elevated by Yi Yuan True Monarch years ago.
Understanding this, Chen Mobai promptly engaged the Longevity Technique, channeling and purifying the vitality erupting within his frame.
The Pure Yang Refining Body's innate trait also stirred to life under the nudge of his Innate Pure Yang Qi. The body tempering, which had only just touched fifth rank thanks to his realm's ascent, now showed signs of growth amid the thick vitality and the Longevity Technique's workings.
Meanwhile, Chen Mobai detected a subtle base steadily fortifying as the Everlife Immortal Fruit's vitality was processed and the Longevity Technique advanced.
This must be his lifespan extending!
With this realization, Chen Mobai invoked the Crown of Heaven and Earth, embarking on the Longevity Technique's cultivation.
Following a stretch of refinement, he gave a slight nod.
The progress indicator revealed that processing this Rank-5 Everlife Immortal Fruit precisely sufficed to bring the Longevity Technique to completion.
Indeed, he lived up to his status as a Great Qi Luck Holder.
This notion crossed his mind, drawing a subtle smile to Chen Mobai's lips.
As the vitality steadily wove into him, he abruptly sensed his heart and mind morphing into a tree limb.
Unbeknownst to him, his Wood Spiritual Root had climbed to 100 points.
Could this be the Dao Insight of the Immortal Wood Spiritual Root!?
Well-versed in such insights, Chen Mobai swiftly gathered his focus, diving into examination of the vision unfolding.
He discovered himself as a branch, adrift in the river, bound by a spider thread linking him to the grand tree on the shore, bobbing with the flow yet untouched by the torrent.
The sight rang a bell of familiarity.
Searching his memories, he recalled it promptly.
It dated back to his time in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, during the infusion of Heavenly Cutting Line Empowerment and Longevity Sword Intent, when his essence merged with the Sword Intent and beheld this exact tableau.
Chen Mobai's heart and mind remained pinned to the branch, immobile, riding the currents aimlessly.
In his idleness, he scanned the area.
The colossal tree by the bank stood as the grandest he had witnessed, its canopy mimicking a heavenly vault that eclipsed sun, moon, and stars, roots split evenly between soil and stream, as if upholding the heavens and enveloping the earth.
Atop the canopy, a misty white haze danced, vaguely outlining a seated form that manifested myriad wonders.
Might this be Immortal Spirit Qi?
The idea flickered in his thoughts, prompting Chen Mobai to avert his gaze upward and survey the environs instead.
The spider thread binding him came from a spider on the shore's great tree, gleaming with vivid hues and brilliance akin to Primordial True Qi.
In the river's flow, vibrant fish darted about, one in particular aglow with azure-green Spiritual Light and brimming with spirit, now and then approaching to release bubbles.
Slowly, with the passage of time, Chen Mobai spotted a verdant sprout emerging from him.
At that instant, the spider thread holding him broke free.
A sense of liberation washed over him, detaching from the sky-spanning tree that shrouded the light, carrying him downstream to a lush valley teeming with flora and fauna, where he came to rest.
The sprout on the branch stretched defiantly toward the skies and earth, siphoning threads of vitality to restore and heal itself.
Time blurred into eternity; from a mere branch, he sprouted into a majestic tree, roots spanning the wide plains, brimming with boundless Divine Skills.
Yet as a Spirit Plant, confinement to the valley meant no freedom.
The instinct for External Incarnation stirred in his awareness. As he geared to form an incarnation, a band of tattered humans unexpectedly entered the valley.
Spotting the mighty tree, they prostrated as before a god.
He permitted their stay in the valley, even helping repel the fearsome beasts from beyond.
Over time, they bestowed upon him a title.
Heavenly Sovereign!
