I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 376 - 305: The Marvel of the Yin Yang Divine Soul
After a brief discussion, the two departed as swiftly as they had arrived.
The gentle breeze into which Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao transformed carried the drifting clouds, vanishing beyond the horizon, while the last trace of the rock-patterned spirit light, stirred by Celestial Venerable Zuo Xuan submerging into the earth’s magnetic field, gradually faded away.
Yunlan Peak returned to its tranquil state, leaving only the intertwined flows of two Divinity Transformation auras within the inner hall.
By the white jade round table, Chen Xihua looked at the empty doorway with a smile, and when he turned to Chen Sheng, his eyes were filled with laughter.
He walked slowly to the meditation mat inscribed with sword patterns in the hall, gently turned the Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword, and made a "please" gesture:
"Fellow Daoist, now that the inner hall is serene, it is a perfect time to discuss a few words with this old man."
Once Chen Sheng was seated, he began to speak slowly, with a tone carrying a sincere earnestness:
"Where do you plan to go in the coming days, Fellow Daoist? If you don’t mind Yunlan Mountain being humble, why not build a hut and cultivate here? We can discuss the Dao day and night, studying both the Sword Dao and the principles of heaven and earth together?"
This seemed like an invitation to discuss the Dao, but it actually held a hint of guidance.
Chen Xihua has cultivated the Great Dao for a millennium, reaching mastery in the comprehension of the Destruction Dao Principle, and is only a step away from condensing the Dao Domain. He is also knowledgeable in the secrets of the Ancient Sword Dao. Cultivating with him would save Chen Sheng at least ten years of detours.
Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng, since he had already decided to make the strong crossing to the Spirit Realm, would naturally not go to the Four Seas Profound Mansion for cultivation. He pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Chen Xihua, with his sword-like brows slightly relaxed, and nodded gently:
"Since you, my Dao brother, do not mind, then I shall intrude."
Upon hearing the words "Dao brother," Chen Xihua laughed heartily, and the Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword beside him vibrated joyously, its sword hum like clear springs gurgling over stones.
"Refrain from mentioning ’intrude!’"
"For us cultivators to discuss the Dao, it is all about mutual validation and achieving together. Your Sword Dao is unique, old as I am, I would like to learn from it, possibly even break through my bottleneck through it!"
As the laughter gradually ceased, his expression became slightly solemn, advancing a step, with a fingertip condensing a faint golden spirit light from the Dao Principle:
"There are still several decades until the time to make the strong crossing to the Spirit Realm, Fellow Daoist, remember, during this time there is no need to rush in accumulating mana. For us Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Small Thousand World, the most precious thing is the opportunity of ’Heaven and Earth Communication.’"
"Even though the origin of the Small Thousand World is damaged, the Dao Principle is still evolving. You and I, merging with heaven and earth, can intuitively comprehend the miraculous flow of the Heaven and Earth Dao Principle. This comprehension is something the Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Spirit Realm yearn for but cannot obtain."
Chen Sheng nodded gently, having his own plans in mind, he had inherited the legacy of the Four Seas Wanderer and understood the preciousness of this opportunity even more than Chen Xihua.
Though the Spirit Qi of the Spirit Realm is abundant, its laws are rigid. Divinity Transformation cultivators find it difficult to immerse themselves in the evolution of the laws as they can in the Small Thousand World.
Divinity Transformation cultivators born in the Small Thousand World can often leverage this comprehension to outshine their peers in the same realm in the Spirit Realm, which is their unique foundation.
Looking at his understanding expression, Chen Xihua suddenly shook his head, with a tone tinged with a bit of self-blame:
"To speak of it, this old man dragging you, Fellow Daoist, along for the strong crossing was somewhat abrupt after all."
"Such an opportunity of ’Heaven and Earth Communication,’ if comprehended with devotion for a thousand years, would surely reach pinnacle levels. Once in the Spirit Realm, there would be no such opportunity again, so I really don’t know if this action is right or wrong."
"Dao brother, you speak wrongly."
With hidden cards in hand, Chen Sheng was unconcerned. His voice, though still cool, carried an added determination as he grasped the Qingming beside him, its sword scabbard slightly humming, resonating with Chen Xihua’s Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword.
"In the pursuit of the Great Dao, hesitation is most feared; the arising and vanishing of opportunities is natural. As Sword Cultivators, since we wield the three-foot green edge, we should unsheathe without return, make our moves without regret, what is there to fear in hesitation!"
"The strong crossing to the Spirit Realm is my voluntary decision, being able to travel with you and seek a broader path, what ’abruptness’ is there?"
"Well said!"
Chen Xihua clapped his thigh suddenly, laughing heartily, a trace of nostalgia and relief flashing in his eyes, as if seeing his fearless younger self venturing through the Great Wilderness with a sword.
"Indeed, this old man was overthinking! The Sword Heart should indeed be so pure, forging ahead with unswerving purpose."
"Since you have this mindset, then come with me to the ’Sword Enlightenment Platform’ in the back mountain. There, one can more clearly sense the Heaven and Earth Laws, it’s most suitable for co-cultivation and comprehension!"
With that, he strode out ahead, the Taiyue Void-Slaying Sword leading the way, its Sword Qi cutting through the mountain mists to reveal a stone stairway to the back mountain.
Chen Sheng followed closely behind, their silhouettes in cyan grey Daoist robes and moon-white Sword Robese interwoven in the mist, their dual auras of Sword Dao coiling like twin dragons, causing the Spirit Qi of Yunlan Mountain to boil.
...
The Great Wilderness Demon Court, its palace enveloped in a layer of spirit light personally bestowed by the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, glimmering brilliantly.
At the center of the grand hall, the Golden Feather Demon Venerable sat cross-legged on the dais, his gilded feather robe reflecting a metallic cold glow, surrounded by manifestations of the Yin Yang Dao Principle as a golden bridge and a Tai Chi Illusion.
When the breeze into which Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao transformed swept into the hall, conveying the news that the Human Race’s newly appointed Divinity Transformation Celestial Venerable of Life Destruction would also join the strong crossing plan.
The Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s drooping golden wings flared, ripples appeared in his originally indifferent golden eyes, and he sighed within his heart:
"How many prodigies the Human Race possesses!"
When Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao unveiled the projection of the Spirit Realm Star Map, as the brilliant silver star coordinates illuminated the hall, Golden Feather Demon Venerable was instantly overjoyed.
He suddenly stood up, the demon patterns on his gilded feather robe shining instantly, and the power of Dao Principle around him surged like a wolf smoke:
"This, is this the precise coordinates of the Spirit Realm?!"
The star map is an exclusive item for Void Refining Cultivators and those of even higher realms, requiring a Realm Map mark to draw it.
Golden Feather Demon Venerable had presided over the Great Wilderness Demon Court for thousands of years, seeking out relics from the Ancient Demon Court, yet he only found half a fragment of a Realm Map. At this moment, how could he not be excited to see the complete coordinates?
"With this map in hand, the matter of us forcibly crossing to the Spirit Realm is accomplished!"
He tilted his head back and let out a long cry, his golden wings spreading and covering the sky, his heart already surging with waves of joy.
The two Celestial Venerables sat facing each other in the hall, toasting with demon realm spirit fruits, discussing the details of their crossing, their laughter shaking dust off the ceiling.
It was not until the moon hung high in the sky that Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao turned into a gentle breeze and departed, while Golden Feather Demon Venerable still struggled to contain his excitement, sending a radiant beam of gold light towards the outside of the hall:
"Summon the Roc Emperor to see me!"
...
Meanwhile, at the core of the Great Wilderness Demon Court.
A palm-sized blue and white porcelain bottle hovered in mid-air, its surface adorned with Yin Yang fish patterns, flowing with a faint black and white spirit light—it was the Yin Yang Treasure Bottle.
Within the bottle, the space was vast as a starry river, with a grand Yin Yang Golden Bridge spanning the center.
At each end of the bridge, pure white solar flame and ink-black cold were gushing forth, the two Qi converging at the middle of the bridge, transforming into a hazy Tai Chi illusion.
Atop the golden bridge, a majestic Golden-Winged Roc sat cross-legged with its eyes closed.
Its form was ten thousand feet tall, its feathers forged like red gold, each plume gleaming with flowing light. When its wings were folded, icy crystals and sparks condensed at the tips—a sign of the initial fusion of the Yin Yang Qi.
The Nascent Soul Great Perfection mana it exuded ebbed like tide waves, causing the spiritual Qi of the entire Treasure Bottle Space to resonate in rhythm with it—it was Chen Sheng, who had been in seclusion here for over two centuries.
Suddenly, Chen Sheng’s wings spread fiercely, pure white solar flame and ink-black cold pouring down like a waterfall, intertwining before him to form a rotating Tai Chi Atlas.
As the atlas rotated, Yin Yang Dao Rhyme transformed into tens of thousands of runes, some sprouting like tender shoots bursting from the ground, full of vitality; others withering like autumn leaves, epitomizing annihilation. The Dao Rhyme’s intricacy even caused ripples in the space.
At the core of the bottle, a transparent elder’s illusion quietly emerged—it was Bottle Spirit "Elder Ping," rubbing his goat-like beard, his murky eyes fixed on Chen Sheng, filled with astonishment, secretly calculating:
"This comprehension speed... has increased by another thirty percent since last month! At this rate, in another five hundred years, the preliminary form of the Yin Yang Dao Principle could be established, and the promotion to Divinity Transformation will come naturally."
"Truly extraordinary talent!"
Elder Ping couldn’t help but sigh, though his voice carried a trace of regret: "It’s a pity he was born in this Small Thousand World, possessing only a Half-Saint Bloodline."
In the eyes of the Demon Race within the Great Wilderness Demon Court, a Half-Saint Bloodline was already the pinnacle, but Elder Ping came from the Spirit Realm, and his vision far surpassed this world.
In the Spirit Realm, a Saint Grade Bloodline was merely the standard for children of great clans, and truly Spirit Bloodlines, leading directly to the Void Refining Realm, were not uncommon either.
He looked at the Yin Yang Qi flowing at the tips of Chen Sheng’s wings, shaking his head, sighing internally:
"A Half-Saint Bloodline can dominate in this world, but in the Spirit Realm, it becomes a fatal shackle."
"In a place where heavenly materials and earthly treasures are everywhere, and divine beast descendants gather, a mere Half-Saint Bloodline hardly matches his comprehension and innate talent."
On the other side, at this moment, Chen Sheng was utterly immersed in the comprehension of Dao Principle.
With the ingenuity of the [Yin Yang Divine Soul], he could borrow the vision of the human race’s Yang Soul to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Dao Principle.
A century ago, when the Yang Soul’s penetration Dao Rhyme reached perfection, triggering Heaven and Earth Resonance, his comprehension speed doubled.
In recent years, after the Yang Soul refined the Primordial Spirit and sensed the Heaven and Earth Communication, his comprehension speed increased tremendously again. Every detail of the Yin Yang Dao Principle was clearly presented in his Sea of Consciousness.
Yet he always withheld and never revealed, tightly concealing the real progress of his comprehension.
If he exposed his true progress, claiming a comprehension speed at the level of Primordial Spirit Communication despite not being Divinity Transformation, it would indeed cause a great sensation!
At this moment, Chen Sheng could clearly feel that the Yin Yang Dao Rhyme could already transform into the preliminary form of the Dao Principle, requiring only a single thought to trigger the promotion, yet he deliberately waited.
He waited for the Yang Soul to forcibly cross to the Spirit Realm, so that once this world had no Divinity Transformation, he would then use the demon race’s Yin Soul to charge into Divinity Transformation, retaining the Enlightenment state of Heaven and Earth Communication, while avoiding exposing his hidden cards.
"When the Yang Soul reaches the Spirit Realm, the Yin Soul promotes to Divinity Transformation, and I linger in this world, continuing to comprehend the transformation of the Small Thousand, thereby elevating my Dao Principle to the pinnacle."
Chen Sheng pondered, his wings vibrating again, as the Tai Chi Atlas expanded to a size of several thousand feet, the Yin Yang Qi entwining like dragons and phoenixes, causing the entire Treasure Bottle Space to resound with the roar of Dao Principle’s operation.
