Chapter 711 - 517: Baize Inheritance (Part 2)
"This inheritance takes the Metal Element of Heaven and Earth as its core, primarily cultivating Geng Metal, and can transform the Sword Dao into principles of Heaven and Earth, progressively forging the Geng Metal Dharma Seed, solid and without bias."
"At the same time, the ’Grand Evolution Metal Pivot Sword Statute’ is the foundational part of a Loose Immortal’s inheritance."
"It stands at a high vantage point, especially with detailed records of the steps to elevate the Dharma Seed."
"It dissects the ultimate leap to Integration into twelve layers, gradually advancing to evolve the Dao Domain..."
"Once all twelve layers are perfected, the Geng Metal Dharma Seed will naturally manifest."
Chen Sheng nodded slightly and concluded:
"Not bad, this Technique suits you well. It allows for gradual polishing of each layer’s foundation, helping to avoid many detours in the future."
Then, Qi Mang, Yuan Ji, and Yuan Ba also stepped forward one by one to share their chosen target inheritances.
Qi Mang chose the ’Disaster and Fortune Evolution Chapter,’ which focuses on refining the Dao of Disaster and Fortune, aligning with his primary cultivation Technique.
Yuan Ji chose the ’Tai Chi Atlas,’ leaning towards Dao Domain fusion, allowing for the steady refinement of a perfect Dao Domain and Dharma Seed prototype...
Yuan Ba chose the ’Ten Directions Annihilation Sutra’...
Chen Sheng reviewed the detailed records of these inheritances one by one, carefully verifying them, and his expression gradually relaxed.
These inheritances are almost all foundational parts of Loose Immortal inheritances, precisely aligning with their personal situations and cultivation paths.
Especially the connection between Void Refining and Integration Realms is recorded in detail, capable of dismantling cultivation barriers and guiding them to refine their Dao Domains and condense Dharma Seed prototypes.
Although not the best, for them, they are undoubtedly the most suitable!
"Your choices are all quite good, aligning with your own paths and addressing your weaknesses, showing that you have taken this seriously."
Chen Sheng nodded slightly and said no more. With a gentle wave of his sleeve, a soft and profound Hsuan Pin Dao Power enveloped the four.
"Buzz——!"
Their forms instantly disappeared from where they stood, and the next moment, they were before a majestic and grand palace.
Glazed tiles, jade pillars, flying eaves and corners, with faint dragon and phoenix phantoms swirling, presenting a solemn atmosphere.
This is the Eight Treasures Palace!
"From now on, you will cultivate here."
Chen Sheng’s gaze traversed the four, his tone suddenly weighted, especially cautioning:
"Remember, do not leave the palace! You do not have the authorization to traverse the Immortal Domain, stepping out will result in your demise!"
Upon hearing this, the four felt a chill in their hearts and quickly bowed in response:
"We will remember!"
Seeing this, Chen Sheng’s expression softened slightly and he continued:
"If you wish to attempt mountain trials again, you need not seek me specifically. You can use the Shifting Power of the Eight Treasures Palace to move directly to the starting point of the mountain trial."
"The mountain trial of eighty-eight layers, protected by the Immortal Mountain’s rules, ensures your life even if you fail the trial. It is an excellent training ground."
"You may periodically go to the mountain trial, using battle to nurture your cultivation and refine your foundation!"
While speaking, Chen Sheng pointed with a finger, and four strands of Spirit Light surged into their foreheads, transforming into palace marks.
"This is the authorization mark of the Eight Treasures Palace. With this mark, you may freely enter and exit the cultivation areas of each layer of the palace, and activate the Shifting Power to the mountain trial at any time..."
The four’s foreheads flashed with Spirit Light, instantly comprehending the use of the mark, and they bowed again, responding in unison:
"Yes!"
Looking at their respectful demeanor, Chen Sheng nodded lightly and thought to himself:
"Zhao Yu and the dragons and tigers are currently cultivating in the Treasure Realm, so I do not need to worry about them for now."
"Those Innate Saints of the Panwu Realm have become my Named Disciples, all my bloodline, sharing the same roots. In the future, I can take the opportunity to guide them to the Immortal Mountain for cultivation."
"By the way, there’s also Ping’an. It’s been a while without news; is he still adventuring in Chongli Heaven?"
...
In Chongli Heaven, within a chaotic void stream, time and space are stagnant, the astral winds silent, extremely dangerous.
Deep within the chaos lies a secluded cave mansion untouched by mundane dust, the inheritance cave mansion left by the Taiyi Realm Bai Ze Great Sage.
On the cloud cushion in the main hall of the cave, Qin Ping’an sat cross-legged, hair falling to his shoulders, surrounded by a soft glow of pale gold and bright white intertwined.
He had long found this cave mansion, yet had never contemplated it.
Merely because the clan’s inheritance was unstable, the younger generations were without reliance, and he could not put his mind at ease... However, accepting this inheritance was perilous.
Only after Qin Zhaoyu joined Chen Sheng’s sect, under the shelter of the Dharma Master, did the Qin Clan’s roots find a place, allowing him to sever worldly attachments and retreat to this place.
The stone walls in the hall shimmered with radiant flow, inscribed with ancient divine script, forming a vast Dao tome.
The ’Root Wisdom Reflecting Void and Resolving Illusion Scripture’
is precisely the inheritance left by the Bai Ze demon sage.
Qin Ping’an slightly closed his eyes, Divine Thought merging with the Dao tome, silently reciting the Techniques comprehended from the ’Ten Volumes of Illusory Heart,’ with the sound of the Dao incessantly echoing in his heart:
"Only by reaching the extremes of emotion can one reach the extremes of Dao..."
"Born from illusion, to illusion we return..."
This was the unique path he opened up: using emotions as a foundation, illusion as a Dao vessel, with thought generating illusion, illusion nearing real, ultimately refining falsehood into truth.
What he sought all his life was to use his own heart as an embryo, evolving into a realm of imaginary sky of the heart...
Once the Tao is perfected, turning falsehood into truth, the imaginary sky of the heart transforms into a real realm.
Those departed, scattered companions can then condense their souls and form within the illusion, returning from the illusion, indistinguishable from True Masters.
And the Bai Ze Sacred Scripture offers tremendous assistance to him!
...
Bai Ze was originally an ancient auspicious sage, understanding the emotions of all beings, perceiving the thoughts of myriad beings, discerning the names of ghosts and gods, and seeing through the root essence of the seven emotions and six desires.
Receiving this heritage, Qin Ping’an first gained the ability of myriad spirits’ emotional insight, able to penetrate the surface thoughts of all beings, reaching the roots of love and hate, discern the truth of emotions, the righteousness or evil of thoughts.
Using this wisdom, he introspected his own inner self, stripping away and organizing the obsessions entwined in his heart for millennia.
Ultimately anchoring the core of the imaginary sky of the heart—
It was the emotional root he was willing to exchange his Dao path for, the foundation upon which the imaginary sky could stand as a realm.
