Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone Chapter 971 - 723: World Fusion, Purple Mansion Order (2)
Previously on Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone...
Under the force of such a collision, numerous cultivators coughed out blood, their bodies reacting to the surge of Laws.
Yet, a greater number fell into deep thought, contemplating the intermingling of Laws from two distinct worlds. Their spirits underwent a profound transformation, their Primordial Spirits evolving as they seized this rare chance for eternal enlightenment.
...
Submerged within the Divine Tribulation Water, the boundless seawater surged, an aura of annihilation embracing all. The Purple Mansion World cried out, the Heavenly Dao lamented, as if on the verge of succumbing, all methods withering, plunging into an era of apparent oblivion. But precisely then, the fusion of worlds commenced.
The world, poised on death's edge, seemed revitalized, undergoing a rebirth and comprehensively reviving.
The world was changing; the Purple Mansion World was entering a new phase of existence.
Or, perhaps, it was no longer merely the Purple Mansion World, but a confluence of two realms, intricately intertwined, where 'you' resided in 'me' and 'I' in 'you', a blend where all methods shifted, and the world ebbed and flowed with life and death.
Bang, bang, bang!
Across the firmament, streaks of black light flickered, coalescing into a black dragon that swept forward; purple light shimmered, transforming into a golden dragon that mounted a counterattack.
These two Divine Dragons clashed fiercely, tearing and rending at each other, engaging in mutual consumption and collision.
"The world Laws are in conflict..."
Lu Xuanji stood immersed in the tribulation water, his eyes gleaming, runes dancing within his pupils. He was dissecting the profound Mysteries of Law, comprehending the genesis and demise of all things, his spiritual insights drawing closer to perfection, subtly broadening the reach of his Great Dao.
His spirit delved deeper into the Dao of Enlightenment, perceiving the essence of another world.
"So this is it, so this is truly it! The Great Dao is akin to an expansive circle. Upon comprehending a Mystery to its absolute culmination, reaching one hundred percent, it’s analogous to completing a perfect circle. This circle appears flawless, yet it is anything but. The extent of one's understanding is confined merely to what lies within its boundary. Beyond this circle lies a vaster world."
"The larger the circle one inscribes, the more expansive the world discovered outside, and paradoxically, the more profoundly ignorant one becomes!"
"I once believed that the pursuit of immortality involved relentless self-improvement, advancing with omniscience as the bedrock, aiming for omnipotence. I thought omniscience and omnipotence represented the zenith of immortal cultivation. But in truth, where is this omniscience or omnipotence? The greater one's strength, the higher the realm attained, the more potent the cultivation, the more acutely one feels the vastness of their own ignorance!"
Lu Xuanji let out a sigh, "Only the feeble perceive themselves as strong; only the unenlightened consider themselves wise."
His spirit attained a higher state of understanding, yet his eyes continued to observe and analyze, constantly contemplating the unfolding changes.
But amidst his contemplation, a sudden buzzing sound reverberated, the void fractured, his ears seemed to go numb, his vision blurred, and the world dissolved into a blinding white light.
The Laws were in upheaval, the void shattered, and the world's governing principles grew chaotic and disordered. The two True Dragons locked in combat within the void began to transform, merging into a single entity, forming a dark golden True Dragon.
The world Laws became indistinct, no longer easily decipherable, growing profoundly mystical, far beyond the grasp of comprehension or thought.
The chaotic energy gradually subsided, disorder gave way to order, and the world began to stabilize.
The worlds completed their merge; the Purple Mansion World ceased to exist, and the Feiyu World vanished as well, giving rise to an entirely new, distinct realm.
The cultivators from both former worlds now coexisted without distinction or conflict, within a single, unified world.
Bang, bang, bang!
Footsteps echoed as the colossal form of the Undying Demon Monarch advanced, his movements appearing slow yet swift as he descended.
At this juncture, the world Laws no longer constrained him; rather, they resonated with him, amplifying his Primordial Spirit and physical body, causing him to continuously grow stronger. His cultivation surged relentlessly, unleashing a formidable and overpowering might.
The Undying Demon Monarch's physique progressively diminished, returning to a normal stature. He spoke with a chilling tone, "Esteemed friend, withdraw! It would be more advantageous for you, and for me as well!"
Ye Feixue retorted, "Do you truly believe such a prime opportunity to retreat is available? Why not engage in a duel and ascertain our respective strengths? The victor reigns supreme and claims all; the vanquished departs. What is your assessment of this proposal?"
The Undying Demon Monarch's brow furrowed. "My friend, what jest is this! Our cultivation transcends the highest echelons of the mortal realm; we possess immense power. Should we engage in battle, this world would undoubtedly crumble under the force of our clash."
"Furthermore, should our auras be detected by the Law Net during such an encounter, our presence would inevitably be revealed. The beckoning power of the Immortal Realm would sense us, compelling us to ascend prematurely against our will. Would you, my friend, desire such an ascension?"
Ye Feixue declared, "Naturally, I am unwilling! However, engaging in further combat is simply not feasible due to the immense destructive potential involved... What if we jointly fractured a passage into the Purple Mansion Grotto Heaven? This would permit some of the younger generation to enter and contend for the opportunities within. Whichever individual secures an opportunity will have earned it through their own merit; we shall not intervene in each other's endeavors. What is your counsel on this proposal?"
The Undying Demon Monarch responded, "Very well. I trust you will honor your word!"
A profound silence descended as both individuals ceased speaking, their divine thoughts conveying messages, seemingly to specific individuals.
The cultivators, who had been dispersed, now coalesced behind their respective leaders, forming opposing ranks.
Lu Xuanji’s movements were swift, and he reappeared amidst the assembled cultivators. He observed Ye Feixue once more. This former acquaintance appeared to possess even greater power and an uncanny presence, her aura ethereal and elusive, with the slightest emission capable of obliterating all.
The Heavenly Dao itself seemed to bend and warp for them; the very fabric of the world would shatter in their presence.
A minor exertion on their part appeared sufficient to crumble mountains and rivers, or extinguish stars.
The sheer magnitude of their cultivation power far surpassed the Ninth Layer of Tribulation Crossing.
Witnessing this spectacle, Lu Xuanji felt an urge to step forward and offer words, though he found himself at a loss for what to say.
Nevertheless, at that precise moment, a divine thought reached him – it was Ye Feixue.
Ye Feixue’s communication inquired, "Esteemed Brother, how have you fared these recent days?"
Lu Xuanji replied, "I am quite well. My recent endeavors have been rather successful!"
Ye Feixue continued, "Brother, your innate talent is truly heaven-defying; you have already reached the Fifth Layer of Tribulation Crossing. Should no unforeseen circumstances arise, you possess a substantial probability of ascending to the Immortal Realm and forging a remarkable legend. However, you ultimately stand before an unprecedented tribulation, where survival and demise hang in the balance, and fortune and misfortune remain unknown."
Lu Xuanji then inquired, "Ye Feixue, how formidable have you become? Have you attained the status of an Immortal?"
Ye Feixue's divine thought carried a subtle undertone of weariness as she responded, "Brother, after I departed from you previously, I awakened memories of my past life. This led to a rapid advancement in my cultivation, and I have now indeed become an Immortal. I possess the capability to ascend to the Immortal Realm at any moment; I am merely suppressing my aura by force through intense cultivation!"
"Once my aura is unleashed, ascension to the Immortal Realm will be inevitable. Similarly, the Undying Demon Monarch achieved the realm of immortals a considerable time ago, and his current power is even more unfathomable. Should we engage in direct conflict, I would not be his equal. Yet, he too faces constraints. His power is so immense that any clash would result in a leakage of aura, compelling an ascension to the Immortal Realm.
"Without having seized the opportunities available in the Lower Realm, who would willingly ascend?"
Lu Xuanji stated, "Throughout these past years, the Feiyu World has relentlessly assaulted us, resulting in countless fatalities and widespread plundering, all in their pursuit of that singular opportunity, the Purple Mansion Grotto Heaven."
Contemplating these grievances, a surge of anger coursed through his heart, and a flicker of killing intent crossed his expression.
Ye Feixue affirmed, "Precisely. Within the vast expanse of the Lower Realm, comprising countless worlds, the Purple Mansion World may have appeared ordinary. However, its significance was magnified by the emergence of an Immortal King, rendering it unique. Here, the Immortal King left behind a specific opportunity; even securing a mere fragment of this opportunity could significantly bolster one's Dao path."
"For the sake of that sliver of opportunity, it is entirely worthwhile. Brother, your moment has now arrived; by merely obtaining a portion of these opportunities, all past hardships will be deemed worthwhile."
Lu Xuanji then pressed, "What manner of opportunities lie concealed within?"
Ye Feixue revealed, "Numerous opportunities await within its depths, but the most coveted among them is undoubtedly the Purple Mansion Order."
