Chapter 681 - 362: Taiyue Divine Venerable Takes Action
Boom!
An invisible Power of Light erupted from Zheng Yi’s body, his hands forming the King Aryaacalan Root Seal. Behind him, the Nine Revolutions Divine Sacrificial Great Brightness Wheel slowly rotated.
Above his head, three flowers blossomed, and on the petal of the red flower in the center, a small Nascent Soul also formed a hand seal.
Suddenly, a grand aura spread, and amidst its faint presence, the void trembled as if a Celestial Gate had opened.
An immense illusion was constantly twisting, as if crossing an eternal distance, entering from an unimaginable world.
Its towering majesty, even across distant spacetime, emitted an ancient and grand aura rejected by this world, struggling immensely to cross the dimensions.
The shadow enveloped Zheng Yi’s true form. As it cast a beam of light, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, causing Zheng Yi to exude an overwhelming majesty that was unbearable for all observing this battle.
Accompanied by the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, the rotating, radiant Golden Wheel behind Zheng Yi transformed into massive halos, extending from outside to within, like rippling waves, penetrating the surrounding void.
Suddenly, shadows emerged in the void, transforming into streams of light, pouring into the Great Brightness Wheel behind Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi gazed at the Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff and the sealed Dharma Body of Master Nine Lotus. Suddenly, a gigantic luminous shadow emerged behind him, releasing the brightest and most dazzling light. From top to bottom, left to right, countless Divine Spirit illusions appeared.
Suddenly, the world fell silent. One by one, the silhouettes knelt around Zheng Yi, creating a grand spectacle of worshiping the divine by candlelight.
The shadows appeared above the halos, enveloping all the Divine Buddhas in a glow, unleashing a surge of worship energy, tearing an immense rift into the void before them.
In an instant, a golden silhouette emerged, like a Divine Venerable stepping out of infinite space, accompanied by an ancient, grand aura, finally crossing the boundary between void and reality, appearing in this space.
Boom!
With the appearance of this golden Divine Spirit, the entire space trembled. Accompanied by the brilliant release of golden light, all the cultivators in this area, and even powerful beings thousands of miles away, turned their heads in shock and awe.
At that moment, they felt a profound reverence emanating from the depths of their souls, and under the terrifying pressure, they knelt, praying to this golden presence.
Taiyue Divine Venerable!
The only True God of Zheng Yi’s self-made Divine Country, the most powerful ruler within the Nine Provinces Divine Kingdom, opening the Three Realms and merging the Incense and Candle Divine Dao.
Such a presence, descending through Zheng Yi’s Origin Divine Body Dharma Body, anchored at the Nascent Soul Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, channeled through the Nine Revolutions Divine Sacrificial Great Brightness Wheel, descended upon the Great Snow Mountain with terrifying power.
Unless a Divinity Transformation Powerhouse descended, any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would have to yield.
To the Snow Mountain Cultivators, this formidable presence was akin to the direct descent of the Great Spirit Heaven.
The unimaginable pressure left them with no resistance, the grand and ancient aura fused with the Dao of all things, felt like confronting the Heavenly Dao itself.
Boom!
With the emergence of this golden Divine Venerable illusion, the former King Aryaacalan illusion based on the Great Snow Mountain’s foundation collapsed.
Sensing the danger, the Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff attempted to escape into the void, but Zheng Yi’s gaze halted it, and the enormous Nine Revolutions Divine Sacrificial Great Brightness Wheel behind him continued its slow rotation.
The Dharma Body of Taiyue Divine Venerable extended a palm, gently grasping forward, Picking Stars and Catching the Moon, palm facing outward, enveloping an area of space.
Even this top-tier Spiritual Treasure could not escape Taiyue Divine Venerable’s grasp.
Just like Monkey Sun could not escape the palm of the Tathagata Buddha.
Though a gentle action, the scene was terrifying beyond belief, leaving Venerable Red Sun and other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators astounded, their eyes nearly bulging out.
They felt their hearts racing and throbbing, an indescribable powerlessness and pallor rendering them silent, afraid to take any action.
They feared being sensed by the terrifying golden silhouette behind Zheng Yi, falling into an inescapable abyss.
Confronting such a presence, they dared not risk anything, lest their cultivation paths be utterly destroyed.
At this moment, the once lively Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff suddenly fell. Zheng Yi extended his hand, directly seizing the most powerful weapon used by the Great Snow Mountain High Priest.
This Spiritual Treasure, carried by Ancestral Master Nine Lotus, forged from the Buddhist Seven Treasures, contained the purest Buddhist essence of Master Nine Lotus’s lifetime, comprehending the Buddhist Technique’s mysteries, consolidated by centuries of faith in the Great Snow Mountain, stood among the pinnacle of Magical Artifacts in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
For such a level of Magical Artifact, not to mention Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, even Divinity Transformation Divine Venerables might not possess one.
Now this item, fell lightly into his hands, assisted by Taiyue Divine Venerable’s magical power. Though it could only be wielded briefly, it was enough.
At this moment, having cultivated for less than a hundred years, Zheng Yi had already firmly stood at the pinnacle of the entire Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
His combat power couldn’t be said to be invincible in the world.
However, he had no worries about self-preservation.
Unless facing a direct confrontation with a Divinity Transformation Divine Monarch, while the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm is vast and the Nine Realms boundless, he could go anywhere.
Even after witnessing this, Zheng Yi’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Bang!
It seemed a bit unwilling to be suppressed. After all, the Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff was a top-tier Spiritual Treasure, nurtured by Master Nine Lotus, a Grandmaster, and worshipped by the Great Snow Mountain Lineage for thousands of years. Bathed in the Power of Belief, it had long been imbued with supreme will.
It had become a manifestation of the will of the Great Snow Mountain.
Therefore, to master this Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff, one must gain the recognition of its Spirituality.
Of course, for Zheng Yi, this was almost impossible. He was not a Divine Heir from the Great Snow Mountain, so he couldn’t subdue this object.
But as one of the true bodies of Taiyue Divine Venerable, connecting to the Doomsday World through the Nine Revolutions Divine Sacrificial Great Brightness Wheel, and with the Dharma Aspect of Taiyue Divine Venerable behind him, Zheng Yi’s heart stirred, unleashing a terrifying power that even this top-tier Spiritual Treasure couldn’t withstand.
Such majestic aura pressed down on the Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff, directly annihilating the will that had gradually formed on it, completely destroying it.
It returned to being a blank slate.
This was a Spiritual Treasure enough to rival a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, but in Taiyue Divine Venerable’s hands, it was like a small toy. With one thought, he utterly erased the imprint of Master Nine Lotus and the will that the Spiritual Treasure itself fostered.
"If that’s the case, then usurp the nest. With my Dao, replace theirs."
Zheng Yi’s hand gently wiped over the surface of the Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff, and a thread of Spiritual Light gradually emerged.
"Heaven-Cutting Dao, it’s a good place for my Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree to take root!"
Bang!
As his words fell, centered on Zheng Yi’s Innate Origin Divine Body, a wisp of green gradually spread over the body of the Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff.
Using the Heaven-Cutting Vine as the foundation, integrating numerous Divine Treasure artifacts, it ultimately evolved into a Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, resurrecting by borrowing a corpse to return the soul.
Transforming into the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree Staff.
As Zheng Yi’s three flowers gathered at the top of his head, one red, one blue, one white, three small flowers spun playfully. A small, chubby Nascent Soul sat on them; it looked cute, like a miniature Zheng Yi, but it embodied the Dao he had learned.
The three obedient small flowers represented his crossing of the final threshold, advancing to the Nascent Soul Domain.
Moreover, it was an extraordinary Nascent Soul.
As the Seven Treasures Glazed Zen Staff was seized and invaded by the Heaven-Cutting Vine, numerous Divine Techniques formed and condensed, entirely merging into the Zen Staff. The original glazed color gradually faded, and its surface began exuding a kind of vibrant green.
Zheng Yi took a step forward, as if spanning countless distances, and in an instant, he reached the summit of the Great Snow Mountain.
At this moment, the thunders of Heaven Beyond Heaven had long dissipated, and the dark clouds had collapsed, revealing the clear sky once more.
Sunlight shone inside, casting on the avalanche-ravaged Great Snow Mountain, which appeared desolate.
At the very top, a beam of sunlight shone down, spreading golden light across the land, making it seem like a sacred place.
Zheng Yi withdrew all his Divine Techniques, and the Nine Revolutions Divine Sacrificial Great Brightness Wheel behind him, along with the myriad Divine Demon Illusions, and the Dharma Aspect of Taiyue Divine Venerable had already vanished into nothingness.
He seemed like an ordinary white-clothed cultivator, sitting cross-legged at the mountain top, with the wind blowing his clothes and hair, making his whole background seem as if it had merged with the snowy mountain summit.
The already subdued Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree Staff was casually tossed by him, lodged deeply into the hard rock behind him.
Just under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zheng Yi slowly closed his eyes, digesting what he had gained earlier.
And then, at the moment he closed his eyes, something wondrous happened.
Behind him, the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree Staff, inserted into the rock ground, suddenly took root and sprouted, its surface completely turning green, like a bamboo stalk, dazzling and full of life.
In the shocked eyes of everyone, that verdant bamboo staff rapidly grew taller, rising quickly, and in an instant, grew into a towering tree.
