Chapter 737 - 526: Celestial Spirit Clan (Part 2)
Finally!
The Illusion Destruction Dharma Seed has reached Great Success!
Countless small illusory worlds float and vanish within it.
"Capture!"
With a thought, Qin Zhaoyu directed the lotus platform Dharma Seed suspended above her head, transforming into a stream of light, slowly entering her brow’s sea of consciousness.
In an instant, the aura around her body became increasingly harmonious and pure.
...
Qin Zhaoyu folded her hands, paying great respect:
"Greetings, Master. This disciple is fortunate not to have failed the mission, finally condensing the Dharma Seed."
Not far away, Chen Sheng, dressed in an ancient Daoist Robe, gazed at the bowing Qin Zhaoyu below, and a genuine sense of comfort flickered in his originally serene eyes.
Under his tutelage, countless disciples had fallen over countless millennia...
Qin Ping’an and Zhang Longhu both halted at the Void Refining Fourteenth Tribulation, unable to comprehend the rudimentary form of the Laws, and in their endless pursuit of Enlightenment, they successively fell in the Integration stage.
Only Qin Zhaoyu, exceptionally talented and steadfast in her Dao Heart, had earlier comprehended the rudimentary form of the Illusion Destruction Law, and devoted her mind to honing for sixty thousand years, neither arrogant nor impatient, neither fast nor slow.
During this period, she ranked first on the Void Refining list, with no one able to shake her position...
Such arduous Cultivation and accumulation led to today’s smooth breakthrough, where success was as natural as water flowing downwards, successfully condensing the Illusion Destruction Dharma Seed.
Chen Sheng slowly raised his hand, gently sending out a warm Dao Power, gently supporting Qin Zhaoyu up:
"Very good! Your sixty thousand years of hard work have not been in vain."
"However, condensing the Dharma Seed is not the end of the Great Dao, but a new beginning."
Chen Sheng looked towards Qin Zhaoyu and began carefully instructing on the secrets of Cultivation at the Dharma Master stage, each word a gem, each sentence hitting the mark, all reflections of his own years of Cultivation insights.
"The essence of the Dharma Master lies in opening up one’s own Small Thousand World, nourishing the world with one’s power, and in turn, receiving the world’s feedback to oneself... achieving the fusion of both, where the Dharma Realm coexists."
He paused, gently pinching his fingertips, as a faint golden Spirit Light of the Law emerged, transforming into a tiny world phantom, hovering at his fingertips, within the phantom, the sun and moon circulated, mountains and rivers rose and fell, fully displaying mystique:
"Opening a Small Thousand World must not be rushed; it requires gradual progression... first outlining the world’s contour with the Illusion Destruction Law, then filling it with vitality through one’s Dao Power, nurturing all things."
"Once the world is stable, one can leverage the world’s power to break through to the Integration stage."
"Moreover, a Cultivator at the Dharma Master stage must avoid having their Dharma Seed traced back... whenever a Dharma Master falls, the original body falls first..."
Qin Zhaoyu listened quietly, standing tall, with a respectful expression, not daring to show any neglect.
After delivering the instructions, a flash of Spirit Light appeared in Chen Sheng’s eyes, as he took out a Treasure Bead.
The entire Treasure Bead was lustrous, presenting a light green color, over an inch in diameter, within which a tiny world phantom floated, exuding a magnificent and heavy power.
"This is the Boundary Setting Bead, a gift for you."
"In the future, when you open up a Small Thousand World, this bead can assist you in stabilizing the foundation of the world, swiftly breaking through the Realm."
Seeing this, Qin Zhaoyu’s eyes flashed with a trace of shock and ecstasy, which was soon replaced by deep gratitude.
She quickly raised her hands, respectfully receiving the Boundary Setting Bead, bowing deeply again in gratitude:
"Disciple thanks Master for the bestowment! Disciple will never forget Master’s great kindness!"
Chen Sheng slowly nodded, showing some appreciation in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something.
"Hmm?"
On the Celestial Radiance Immortal Ranking, new names suddenly emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!
These new names, some carried the majestic aura of the Tribulation Crossing Daoist Monarch, while others contained the harmonious Dao Rhyme of the Dharma Master level...
The numbers were numerous, dense, and unending!
Qin Zhaoyu also sensed it:
"The Immortal Mountain Ranking has changed!"
"Master, it seems that the range covered by the Immortal Mountain has expanded again, bringing in a new Grand Thousand World!"
Chen Sheng’s gaze shifted to that ranking list of golden light, with a hint of a smile in his eyes:
"It’s a double blessing!"
"A new Grand Thousand World is also a fortune for us in pursuit of Enlightenment!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyu gently nodded, clearly understanding her master’s words:
Every Grand Thousand World has its unique regulatory system, each possesses its profound mysteries of the Great Dao, each with its distinctive qualities.
Previously, when the Su Tian World emerged, she had followed her master to roam the Su Tian World for several thousand years, benefiting immensely.
"Once these matters are settled here, I will visit that new Grand Thousand World to explore and comprehend the Great Dao of that realm."
...
The Sword Mountain of Heaven and Earth, a solitary peak piercing the sky, innate Sword Rhyme resounds clearly.
At the originally tranquil and brooding mountain summit, due to the emergence of this new Grand Thousand World, a sudden change occurs.
A layer of hazy celestial light envelops the mountain top, twelve human-like figures appear out of thin air, their forms delicate and shallow, like reflections in water or shadows under the moon, seemingly real yet illusory.
Compared to ordinary humans, their ears are slightly pointed yet not exaggerated, as if carved from jade, hidden among their hair, exuding an elegant clarity.
Their eyes are mostly light gold, their bodies surrounded by a very faint mist, like morning mist, cloud qi, or star dust, not dazzling, only adding to the ethereal aura.
Among them, ten figures exude a majestic and domineering aura, surrounded by the pressure of a Tribulation Crossing Daoist Monarch.
The other two figures, their aura is much weaker, evidently peerless prodigies at the Dharma Master Level.
"Immortal Spirit Clan, Gu Suchen!"
A clear and ethereal voice, like celestial music, sounds as the leading cultivator in white slowly speaks, surrounded by blazing celestial light, their brows and eyes revealing coldness and arrogance.
Following this, the remaining eleven figures speak one after another, their voices either steady, or clear, or vigorous.
Each voice echoes, dispersing a corresponding Immortal Rhyme, the twelve Immortal Rhymes intertwining and weaving together.
"Immortal Spirit Clan, Gu Qihe!"
"Immortal Spirit Clan, Gu Wangchuan!"
"Immortal Spirit Clan, Gu Qiuyou!"
...
Upon hearing everyone’s self-introductions, Sect Master Tian Yu and others’ pupils constrict.
Twelve named disciples appearing at once, and all from the same clan...
"Judging by their intentions, this Grand Thousand World seems to have only their Immortal Spirit Clan as its race!"
"Even so, this world is indeed powerful!"
"Twelve named disciples, more than the initial sum of the Taiyi Realm and Spirit Realm, and several times more than that of the Su Tian Realm."
A group of Daoist Monarchs exchange thoughts.
Not far away, Chen Sheng’s gaze slowly falls on the two peerless prodigies at the Dharma Master level—Gu Xunzhen and Gu Qiuwu!
The two also look at Chen Sheng, clasping their hands from afar.
Soon after, both sides begin to communicate... discussing the inheritance of each other’s clans, their words mingling both exploration and candor.
Chen Sheng and the others confirm their previous speculations.
The newly emerged Grand Thousand World is named the Immortal Spirit Realm, within which there is only one race called the Immortal Spirit Clan.
The Immortal Spirit Clan beings are born without parents, within the Immortal Spring, slowly gathering soul and forming body from the spring’s Spiritual Qi, Moon Glimmer, Morning Dew, and Cloud Qi.
Thus, this clan is naturally close to water, moon, and clouds, gaining strength when near water, becoming more spiritual in the moon...
Chen Sheng sighs:
"Immortal Spirit Clan, boundless Grand Thousand, indeed there is nothing strange about it!"
...
Deep within the Immortal Spirit Realm, inside a Secret Realm, a silent Immortal Spring flows.
The Immortal Spring is clear as a mirror, enveloped by shimmering celestial light, the spring water rich with innate celestial spiritual energy, it is the source Immortal Spring of the Immortal Spirit Clan, the origin of the clan.
On the Jade Platform at the center of the Immortal Spring, an elder with white hair sits quietly, his eyes like deep pools, containing the vicissitudes of endless years and the wisdom of the Great Dao.
The elder’s eyes are slightly closed, within his sea of consciousness, slowly emerge the records from the ancient heritage of the Immortal Spirit Clan.
Those records, engraved in the ancient Immortal Spirit script, flow with a mysterious and solemn aura, each word a gem, slowly echoing in his sea of consciousness:
"True Immortal, master of the rules, the dao runs through all directions, cultivating the power of dimensions... also known as Dimensional True Immortal."
"This kind of realm, devoid of good and evil, spans dimensions in all directions, nearing immortals perish, touching immortals annihilate... only True Immortals endure eternally."
"Stay away!"
"Stay away!"
The voice recorded in the heritage, ancient and weighty, carries a hint of sorrow and warning, echoing repeatedly in the elder’s sea of consciousness.
After a long while, the elder slowly opens his eyes, a trace of melancholy and helplessness flashing across his eyes, softly sighing:
"Ancestors, oh ancestors..."
"The heritage of True Immortals has spread across this dimension, permeating countless Grand Thousand Worlds, how can we stay away..."
"We can only embrace the True Immortal heritage, allowing more of our descendants to ascend, to preserve more of the flame before this dimension utterly annihilates."
"Even if it is poison, we can only swallow it."
