I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2421 - 1084: Entering Purple Cloud Palace Again
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Seeing the second Azure Bird left Chen Mobai in profound astonishment.
Could there truly be yet another?
That first Azure Bird had guided him back to the ancient Purple Cloud Palace, revealing the Dao Venerable who transcended this universe, along with the presumed Pure Yang and Harmonious Great Abilities.
But what secrets did this new one hold?
Emerging from the Dan Cauldron Jade Tree, the Azure Bird soared overhead, looping several times around Chen Mobai's head while emitting sharp, melodious calls, seemingly beckoning or singing to him.
With immense eagerness surging through him, Chen Mobai remained prudent by dispatching his Second Primeval Spirit to probe it ahead.
The Azure Bird offered no opposition, fanning its graceful plumage before settling onto the Primordial Yang Treasure Bead.
As the fusion occurred between them, Chen Mobai sensed the nine fragmented forces in his Primordial Spirit gaining structure and slowly coalescing into unity.
These represented the Nine Virtues of the Holy King.
Even with the small Immortal Gate system in place across the Eastern Wilderness, achieving Saintly Virtue demanded more than mere high realm strength; it called for an innate elegance and command that compelled true acknowledgment from all beings.
Within the Tianhe Realm, his tireless efforts together with disciple Jiang Zongheng had pushed the Nine Virtues Introspection progress to just 78%.
He had figured it would only fully mature post-Divinity Transformation, forming a Saintly Virtue Dao Seed. But surprisingly, this chance presented itself right in the midst of his Deity Transformation.
Once the second Azure Bird integrated, Chen Mobai watched his Nine Virtues Introspection surge forward at a breathtaking pace, swiftly hitting 100% completion.
A soft, luminous glow ignited inside the Second Primeval Spirit, prompting the Primordial Yang Sword to emerge on its own, as golden lines etched its surface—grand peaks and an ordered society manifesting on one side, while basic implements and farming scenes arose on the other.
Such was the Saintly Virtue path that Chen Mobai had forged.
The one side symbolized the Immortal Gate, the other the Tianhe Realm, now weaving together upon the blade to birth a Dao exclusively his own!
Right then, Chen Mobai grasped this unconventional way to cultivate Saintly Virtue!
Rather than the Azure Bird directly completing the Nine Virtues of the Holy King for him, it steered him to apply the Saintly Virtue honed at the Immortal Gate toward filling the 22% gap in the Tianhe Realm.
The Great Tao stands as one, unchanging across eternity.
Saintly Virtue from the Immortal Gate embodies the Dao, just as does Saintly Virtue from the Tianhe Realm.
Still, Chen Mobai had long assumed his Saintly Virtue cultivation was confined to the Tianhe Realm alone, viewing Immortal Gate pursuits as unnecessary, which kept him from advancing Nine Virtues Introspection there—unaware that the pair could mutually enhance one another.
Of the Nine Virtues of the Holy King, his weakest advancement in the Tianhe Realm was "Comparison," which demanded openness to counsel and the blending of shared insights.
But in the Tianhe Realm, scarcely a soul would venture to highlight his flaws.
Despite his displays of humility and invitations for input, no one mustered the courage to voice opinions.
Things stood otherwise at the Immortal Gate, its free atmosphere allowing even Deity-level beings to endure scrutiny.
As the Immortal Gate's greatest prodigy ever, Chen Mobai encountered his share of judgments, with others deeming his cultivation prowess outstanding yet his skills in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation Immortal lacking polish.
Step by step, from Qi Cultivation up to Deity Transformation, Chen Mobai ascended to the Immortal Gate's heights, gradually winning over his former detractors to embrace him.
His all-around progress in areas like artifact refining, talisman making, and formations further assured his critics of his willingness to heed advice and mend deficiencies.
In this way, at the Immortal Gate, he had already fully realized the "Comparison" virtue within the Nine Virtues of the Holy King.
Yet the blending of Saintly Virtues across realms also traced back to the Primordial Yang Sword!
Within the Primordial Yang Set, this sword acts as the carrier for Saintly Virtue.
This elite Immortal Gate Flying Sword once belonged to the Yuan Yang Ancestor, history's foremost master of Saintly Virtue at the Immortal Gate. Upon falling to Chen Mobai, it absorbed the Saintly Virtue he nurtured in the Tianhe Realm bit by bit.
As the central link, it facilitated the merging of Saintly Virtues from both worlds, enabling Chen Mobai to bring his Nine Virtues Introspection to flawlessness.
And in that instant, a Dao Seed radiating mild clear light with subtle golden hints started forming and manifesting in Chen Mobai's Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge.
Saintly Virtue Dao Seed!
With this Dao Seed's finalization, Chen Mobai perceived his Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram surging to Great Perfection.
The barrier in his Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge crumbled without delay, propelling him into the Middle Stage of Deity Transformation.
In that instant, Chen Mobai's potent divine sense commenced a firm expansion. Through calculation via the Crown of Heaven and Earth, he reckoned it would multiply by two or three times at this speed, sufficient to hit the early pinnacle of Deity Transformation.
While others could content themselves with such gains, Chen Mobai stood apart.
He felt certain this breakthrough could propel his divine sense straight to the Middle Stage of Deity Transformation.
For he retained half the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill's effects untapped.
Without his awareness, the Second Primeval Spirit had transformed back into the Primordial Yang Treasure Bead, fusing into the Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge akin to a radiant sun, pouring forth boundless brilliance. It aided in releasing the full medicinal essence of the Communicating Holy Spirit Pill, weaving it into his Primordial Spirit.
Thanks initially to the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram's completion, his divine sense kept expanding, and with the boosted potency, its advancement accelerated even further.
