Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 1230 - 683: The Way of Mountain and Sea (Part 2)
Capítulo 1230: Chapter 683: The Way of Mountain and Sea (Part 2)
The Immortal Crystals contained residual Great Tao, not an ordinary Path of Immortality, but the concentrated essence of swordsmanship from an Immortal Heavenly Venerate who specialized in Sword Dao!
That Immortal Heavenly Venerate walked the path of the “Mountain and Sea Sword Dao.”
With mountains as the bones, seas as the blood, stars as the eyes, and heaven and earth as the sheath… when the sword is drawn, mountains and seas overturn, stars fall, and the universe reverses!
This is a path of unparalleled dominance and unstoppable ferocity. Taken to the extreme, one sword can manifest real mountains and seas, suppressing the Immortal!
“What a Mountain and Sea Sword Dao…”
Gu Qingfeng was immersed in this vast Sword Dao, eagerly absorbing its profound mysteries.
Although he did not cultivate Sword Dao, as his main path was the Netherworld Path, among the Three Thousand Great Paths, all lead to the same destination.
Especially at his level, insights into any Supreme Dao could reflect on oneself, bringing analogy and extension, with immeasurable benefits to perfecting one’s own Dao.
Moreover, the Immortal Crystals contained not only the cultivation methods of the Mountain and Sea Sword Dao but also an Immortal Heavenly Venerate’s understanding of the “Great Tao” itself, comprehension of the “Immortal” Realm, and experiences in the process of “Body and Dao Integration”…
These were the most valuable things for Gu Qingfeng.
In fact, the rhythm of such Supreme Dao is a rare treasure for any Heavenly Venerate.
Even for a Half-step Immortal, or a true Immortal, this is true.
After all—
For an Immortal Heavenly Venerate, comprehending the Dao of another Immortal Heavenly Venerate can equally transform the latter’s Dao into nourishment for oneself, thereby enhancing cultivation strength.
At present.
Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation had broken through to the peak of the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerable Realm, and if one were to compare, he could naturally be called a Half-step Immortal.
After all, as they say.
A so-called Half-step Immortal is merely a more powerful Nine Tribulation Heavenly Venerate.
This level.
Has not truly stepped beyond the Nine Tribulation category to truly ascend to the Immortal Realm.
…
Gu Qingfeng completely immersed his mind.
He did not attempt to learn the Mountain and Sea Sword Dao but instead perceived the spiritual journey of the Immortal Heavenly Venerate in creating and perfecting this path.
How did the other rise from obscurity, perfecting Sword Dao step by step, resonate with the Mountain and Sea origins, and ultimately achieve Body and Dao Integration to tread upon the Immortal…
This process, like a majestic epic scroll, unfolded slowly within Gu Qingfeng’s Divine Soul.
He saw a young man, picking up a rusty sword from obscurity, determined to right all injustices in the world with the sword in his hand.
He saw the young man, enduring trials, initially forming his Sword Dao, with one sword, changing the color of mountains and rivers.
He saw the young man, wielding a sword across the world, defeating all geniuses, challenging the All Saints, and comprehending the weight of “Mountains” and the vastness of “Seas” amidst life and death.
He saw the middle-aged man sealing the sword and retiring, observing the mountains and seas for a hundred years, finally merging the two into one, creating the “Mountain and Sea Sword Intent.”
He saw the white-haired elder sitting in the depths of the starry sky, watching stars be born and perish, comprehending the “Eternity” of stars and the “Cycle” of time, ultimately integrating the starry concept into Sword Dao, achieving Great Success in Mountain and Sea Sword Dao, touching the origins.
He saw the Sword Dao Venerable in his peak moments, drawing his sword with mountains, seas, and stars trailing, one sword severing the star river, shaking the ages.
Finally—
He saw that Sword Dao Venerable sitting cross-legged at the peak of a nameless barren mountain, sword resting across his knees.
He closed his eyes, his Divine Soul leaving his body, creating resonance with the obscured “Mountain and Sea Star Origin.”
At that moment, the world changed color, the shadow of the Mountain and Sea appeared in the starry sky, the light of stars gathered into a river, pouring into his body.
His Dao Body began to disintegrate, flesh and blood turned into mountains and rocks, bones into peaks, blood into rivers and seas, eyes into stars… He was merging with the Mountain and Sea Star Origin!
This process lasted an unknown number of years.
Eventually, at the peak of the barren mountain, only an ancient longsword was left inserted into the rocks, its blade inscribed with the pattern of Mountain and Sea Stars.
And that Sword Dao Venerate was nowhere to be seen.
Not fallen, but completely “harmonized”—he had become a part of the Mountain and Sea Star Origin, henceforth, I am the Mountain and Sea, the Mountain and Sea is me, Immortal and everlasting.
“Body and Dao Integration—”
Gu Qingfeng’s heart was shaken.
Unknowingly, time passed.
All the images dissipated completely.
Gu Qingfeng then immediately opened his eyes, exhaling a deep breath.
In this comprehension.
Gu Qingfeng had glimpsed a Supreme Divine Power named Mountain and Sea Sword Dao from the Immortal Crystals.
Although Gu Qingfeng did not intentionally comprehend the Mountain and Sea Sword Dao, merely observing the mysteries of such a Supreme Dao, the mastery of such divine skills became a natural progression when he observed the Dao.
Meanwhile.
He also understood the path of that Ancient Immortal, what kind of Supreme Dao it was.
Though Gu Qingfeng is not a Sword Dao cultivator, the Three Thousand Great Paths all lead to the same destination, including the Netherworld Path.
At this moment, gaining the Immortal Sword Dao, Gu Qingfeng had already grasped some of its mysteries, vaguely reflecting on himself.
However.
To truly grasp the profound mystery of life-death transformation, to rely on the Netherworld Path for Body and Dao Integration, to step into the Immortal Heavenly Venerate Realm, he still fell short by a bit.
But Gu Qingfeng was not in a hurry.
As long as he gave himself time, he would inevitably take that step.
“Next, it depends on whether other Life Forbidden Zones can yield such Immortal Crystals. If so, upon exiting the Immortal Secret Realm this time, I may break through to the Immortal Realm!”
With this thought.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the Immortal Crystals before him.
Now, with all the Immortal Dao Rhythm entirely comprehended, the Immortal Crystals had seemingly lost all power, silently turning into gray ashes, completely dissipating.
In this.
Gu Qingfeng was not regretful.
The destruction of the Immortal Crystals was within his expectations.
After all, the reason these Immortal Crystals could exist was ultimately due to the remaining power of the Immortal Dao.
But now.
That Immortal Dao had also transformed into his own nourishment, allowing himself to comprehend the Mountain and Sea Sword Dao. With the exhaustion of the Power of the Dao, the Immortal Crystals also ceased to exist.
Subsequently.
Gu Qingfeng exited seclusion.
The time in seclusion was beyond measure.
To him, it was a mere moment, but in the outside world, ten thousand years had passed.
When Gu Qingfeng exited seclusion, upon receiving the news, the Ancient Nether Saint Master was the first to come and pay respects.
“Congratulations to Senior for exiting seclusion, cultivation greatly advanced!”
Upon seeing Gu Qingfeng, the Ancient Nether Saint Master loudly congratulated him.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression was indifferent: “During my seclusion, how have the situations in the starry sky fared?”
“Reporting to Senior, all major forces are currently encircling the Evil God Clan. Over ten thousand years, many of the evildoers lurking in darkness have mostly not escaped their fate of doom.
But a very few Evil Gods still lurk, though they pose no significant threat.
However, it is rumored that the Tianji God Lord has slaughtered numerous beings. Many Heavenly Venerates are tracking its whereabouts, yet no substantial news has been uncovered so far!”
The Ancient Nether Saint Master briefly summarized the recent situations.
Upon hearing the name of the Tianji God Lord, Gu Qingfeng’s expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.
To him.
The Tianji God Lord was insignificant.
In its heyday, he could suppress it, let alone the now gravely injured Tianji God Lord, making it even less of a concern.
Nevertheless, one cannot deny that, as an ancient Divine Lord of the Evil God Clan, the other party possesses numerous means of self-preservation.
Even now, despite being severely wounded, it’s not easy to truly drag it out completely and annihilate it.
“The Evil God Clan poses no significant threat, yet how are the situations in the various Life Forbidden Zones?”
Gu Qingfeng immediately changed the topic.
Upon hearing this.
The Ancient Nether Saint Master’s expression turned much more solemn and spoke in a deep tone: “Over ten thousand years, Ancient Nether Sacred Land has dispatched numerous disciples to various Life Forbidden Zones. While some disciples managed to survive, they also bear the curse of the zones.
Several Life Forbidden Zones have dormant ancient supremes, awaiting the time to stir chaos to extend their lives.
As for the five Supreme Forbidden Zones, all cultivators entering have perished, with not a single one returning alive. Hence, even the Ancient Nether Sacred Land finds it challenging to gather any useful information about these zones, and I beg for Senior’s forgiveness!”
