[Liuli Immortal Venerable gently raised her hand, and I was lifted by a gentle breeze, but she did not mention the matter of disciples.]

[Liuli Immortal Venerable returned the Spirit Pearl.]

[She said that in the Qingxu Realm, the seemingly indestructible shell of the "Sword of Chaos" is not uncommon or mystical, but the chaos consciousness within it, comparable to the "Divine", once touched by a cultivator, can invade one’s primordial spirit.

If mild, one’s Dao practice declines, if severe, one perishes and their Dao disappears.

Though this sword bears no killing intent, it is a supreme slaughter treasure.

When the world of Qingxu opened in its infancy, there were only innate divine beings, rules embodied in gods who perfected earth, fire, water, and wind, evolving the sky, continents, oceans, creating life, a scene of flourishing prosperity.

There was not even a concept of "slaughter" or "demise", and the Qingxu Realm wouldn’t expend energy creating a treasure purposefully meant to destroy both "itself" and "the divine".

Only common worlds at their end give birth to such destructive treasures.

Yet, Liuli Immortal Venerable did not pursue further inquiries.]

[Taking the Splendid Celestial Wind Spirit Pearl, I suddenly realized that the treasures and spiritual treasures in the Qingxu Realm are finite, either the innate spirits’ foundations for attaining Dao, or crafted into treasures after being defeated and stripped of consciousness.]

[Given the "postnatal spirits" yearn for eternity, one can imagine the status of aliens in the eyes of Qi cultivators.]

[Liuli Immortal Venerable said, "Fellow Daoist, for risking to bring this message, I shall pass unto you the sword casting technique, to forge your companion treasure’s nascent form into a magical treasure... "

"But to harness the infinite power within, your primordial spirit must have at least eight hundred years of Dao practice, and your spiritual apertures must encompass heaven, earth, the Five Elements, and Yin and Yang."

"Our Jade Sky Immortal Island can provide you with the Five Elements Dharma Seed and Yin Yang Spirit Medicines, but as for the eight hundred years of Dao practice... I will preach unto you, and it depends upon your comprehension."]

[Before long, a rainbow light flew by.

Linglong Fairy gracefully descended onto a cloud, there was a hint of urgency in her voice, "Elder sister, the power of Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy has reduced to thirty percent, the situation is dire."

"How long can Jade Sky Immortal Island hold?" Liuli Immortal Venerable asked.

"At most, five hundred years..." Linglong Fairy replied, her eyes full of worry. Five hundred years to beings like them, innate spirits, is but a fleeting moment.

[However, I was quite satisfied with the outcome, disrupting the dragon race’s plans ahead of time at Jade Sky Immortal Island, extending our advantage by three hundred years.]

[Time is pressing, I began to cultivate under the guidance of Liuli Immortal Venerable.]

[She passed onto me the orthodox texts "Jade Sky True Understanding" and "Divine Skill: Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy". Only through practice did I realize the disparity within them.

In Heaven and Earth, there are only two Dharma Gates.

Independent Cultivation Method—piecemeal and requires various heaven and earth spiritual objects, and no one has ever attained Dao through it.

Orthodox Sect—Dharma Gates through which one can attain Dao, what Dao is attained, depends upon individual fortune.

The two are fundamentally opposed in manner.]

[During the first hundred years, I devoted my time to Qi cultivation on Jade Sky Immortal Island, attending lectures from true cultivators trapped there, the Zizhu Demon Master and I called each other friends, and if I could leave, I would be Uncle to Wenren Hong.]

[Not long after, I reached a breakthrough in my Dao practice, having cultivated for three hundred years, refined the "Glazed Seven-Star Bead", and my magical power quickly caught up.]

[The ’Glazed Seven-Star Bead’ resembles a multicolored bead, akin to a low-grade spirit root, a seven-colored cloud flower blooms once every thousand years, absorbs spiritual Qi for another thousand years, and forms a spiritual charm over the next thousand years, crystallizing into one after three thousand years.]

[I enriched myself secretly.]

[Transplanting a ’Glazed Seven-Star Bead’ into Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, planting it upon "Baiyun", and the Moonlight Dew can have significant catalytic effects on this spirit root.]

[My primordial spirit expanded the Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth to a hundred miles.]

[In the second hundred years, I diligently cultivated, but my Dao practice stalled.]

[In the third hundred years, a sudden realization, attaining five hundred years of Dao practice, achieved mastery over the Five Elements.]

[In the fourth hundred year, possessing five hundred years of Dao practice, I initially refined the "Sword of Chaos" using "Little Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy", and finally, I could open the portal to the "Modo Realm’s" sea of consciousness.]

[Within that sea of consciousness, every sheep gives birth to a new consciousness, and a new consciousness thought spreads, forming a world, and then birthing a new sheep counter, and so forth in cycle.]

[Yet, when I attempted to utter the true name "Sword of Chaos", there was unexpected silence. My consciousness itself was too small a part, and the "voice" I projected couldn’t rouse ???.]

[It is both a blessing and a curse.]

...

"A blessing, for once I forge the ’Sword of Chaos’ into a magical treasure, I can open this key. Moreover, fully controlling the ’Sword of Chaos’ will enable me to regulate the dissemination of "0101" consciousness."

"With this treasure in hand, I can finally cultivate in peace."

Ning Xunqiu showed an expression of hope.

"As for the curse..."

[In the fifth hundred year, I still bore the heart of a mortal, unable to break through five hundred years of Dao practice, repeatedly failing to awaken the ??? consciousness within the sword of chaos.]

[At this time, Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy appeared increasingly ephemeral, the flame of the nine-headed divine dragon transformed into the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace, and Jade Sky Immortal Island shrank precipitously each year within it.]

[Liuli Immortal Venerable and the true cultivators resisted the oppression from the Four Seas through sheer persistence, but their attempts proved futile. The Ancestral Dragon spared no expense in refining its clan’s True Dragons into magical treasures, these nine true dragon magical treasures aimed at countering the Three Immortals’ Jade Sky Streaming Light Galaxy.]

[Outside, twelve True Immortals added fuel without pause, the fuel being the resentment of tens of thousands of the human race from the East Sea. Consequently, Jade Sky Island was shrouded in gloom, and its spiritual light dimmed.

In such an environment, not to mention replenishing magical power, merely resisting the resentment required vast energy, causing many true cultivators to perish in meditation.]

[Aware of the dire and irreversible situation, Liuli Immortal Venerable convened all true cultivators, announcing that the Three Immortals would make a last stand, urging them to seize the moment to escape separately.]

[Liuli Immortal Venerable called me forth, bestowing upon me the treasures of Jade Sky to extend Cyan Mountain Heaven and Earth, with careful instructions given, she truly considered me a disciple, and I became the inheritor of Jade Sky Immortal Island.]

[Alas, my Dao practice stagnated at five hundred years, primordial spirit unable to wield the "Sword of Chaos".]

[Soon, the Three Immortals, in determination, self-destructed their treasured artifacts, "Nine Dragon Divine Fire Array" blasted a wide opening, permitting the cultivators to independently employ their methods to escape, with external True Immortals maintaining the mob of "Nine Dragon Divine Fire Array", only intervening a few times, but a few true cultivators managed to escape.]

[The Zizhu Demon Master, meeting with misfortune, saw most of his primordial spirit dissolve, and I dared not reveal the Divine Weapon Flame Sparrow and Magical Treasure Cyan Mountain Seal, suffering severe injuries as well.]

[The Zizhu Demon Master and I journeyed to Purple Bamboo Mountain, arriving atop Cliff Mountain, both engulfed in silence, amidst withered spirit veins, desolation and death. Wenren Hong, Bailing, Panda, Niu Da, and Bi Ji were all absent.]

[They all perished with Zhiyu Country.]

[The primordial spirit of the Zizhu Demon Master stagnated, vanishing in a breath after seven days.]

[While recuperating on Purple Bamboo Mountain, one day while gazing at the sea from Cliff Mountain, I discovered an unusual seven-aperture stubborn stone, knowing it to be Seventh Brother Monkey.]

[Things change, things change indeed, observing the ebb and flow of tides, an insight struck me, rapidly advancing my Dao practice.]

[After ten years, attaining eight hundred years of Dao practice, with spiritual apertures encompassing heaven, earth, and the Five Elements, and possessing both Yin and Yang.]
