I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2472 - 1101: Spirit of Great Chun

The Great Dao of Life stands directly opposed to the Great Dao of Death.

By attuning to both of these Daos, a cultivator can ascend to the Seventh Rank, yet this marks the ultimate limit one can achieve.

To push beyond that boundary, it's necessary to fuse life and death together, wielding full command over each.

Within the Purple Cloud Palace, Chen Mobai's third senior brother has attuned himself to this Innate Life and Death Great Dao.

Upon securing the Life and Death Great Dao, in principle, the Great Dao of Life along with the Great Dao of Death ought to fall under the third senior brother's domain as well. Such dominance reflects the Innate Great Dao's complete authority over its derived Acquired Great Dao counterparts, though certain mighty experts who scorn these paths might deliberately abandon the Acquired Great Dao or permit other cultivators to claim them.

The Demon Lord, for example, leverages this approach to scout and draw in exceptional talents.

Certainly, alternative circumstances exist, such as those shared between a master and disciple.

Should Chen Mobai's third senior brother achieve transcendence, the Innate Life and Death Great Dao would inevitably open up. He could then guide his disciple to attune ahead of time to either the Great Dao of Life or the Great Dao of Death. In this manner, the instant he departs, the disciple could swiftly elevate and inherit the full Innate Life and Death Great Dao.

Chen Mobai's instructor from the Purple Cloud Palace had once explained this very concept.

With the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable firmly set on transcendence, his Innate Yin Yang Great Dao and Innate Taixu Great Dao draw intense longing from every one of his students.

That said, in the end, right before his exit, the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable refrained from freeing up the Acquired Great Daos of Yin, Yang, and Void, thereby offering all his students an even playing field for rivalry.

Witnessing the Great Chun Divine Tree as it absorbs the Great Dao of Life, Chen Mobai now theorizes that his third senior brother solely grasped the Innate Life and Death Great Dao, purposefully leaving the Acquired "Life" and "Death" unclaimed.

Alternatively, the Great Chun Divine Tree might simply lack awareness, persisting in its tireless refinement across endless days and years, even though the Great Dao of Life has already been taken.

"Junior Chen Mobai offers greetings to Senior Great Chun."

Harboring these reflections inwardly, Chen Mobai offered a courteous bow by cupping his hands toward the Immortal Gate's supreme spirit plant.

Following this, Wenren Xuewei executed a hand seal, unleashing an unseen divine sense from her forehead that fused seamlessly with the Great Chun Divine Tree.

Not long afterward, Chen Mobai sensed a mild yet profound force surpassing the Spirit Transformation Stage radiating from the tree. It shifted into a verdant and silvery immortal glow, which shrouded both him and Wenren Xuewei completely.

Chen Mobai wavered briefly, then opted not to invoke the Primordial Yang Sword or Primordial Clock for defense, permitting the verdant and silvery immortal glow to whisk away his primordial spirit.

In a flash, his primordial spirit appeared to journey through a lush, vibrant woodland, landing in a wetland teeming with pure air and abundant moisture. Still, Chen Mobai recognized these locales as strangely reminiscent, blending elements of the outer world's Linwu Cave Haven and Jumang Academy, although portions seemed hazy, as though assembled in haste.

"Forgive me; it's been ages since I've hosted any outsiders, and I've grown a tad rusty on proper guest manners."

A voice as crisp and soothing as a mountain spring resounded beside Chen Mobai's ear. Lifting his gaze, he beheld a Great Chun Divine Tree hovering at the wetland's heart. A sturdy branch, thick as an arm, stretched out from it, bearing a golden, egg-shaped fruit that radiated immortal light and morphed into a young woman with flowing emerald locks, jade-green eyes, and flawless pale skin.

"Master, this is the Pure Yang True Monarch from the Dan Ding Sect."

Having entered alongside him, Wenren Xuewei promptly made the introduction upon spotting the young woman.

Overhearing Wenren Xuewei's form of address for the Great Chun, Chen Mobai felt a touch of astonishment, since she hadn't revealed this affiliation within the Immortal Gate. Yet it made sense to him, given the Kunpeng Lineage's ongoing pressure on the Jumang Lineage.

"Xuewei has spoken of the Pure Yang True Monarch to me many times, praising your peerless talent. Seeing you now, your fame is well-deserved."

The jade-eyed young woman, manifested from the Great Chun spirit, displayed impeccable poise. With a soft flick of her slender hand, three branches darted forth from her back, weaving into a pair of branch-crafted seats and a small table.

Chen Mobai and Wenren Xuewei took their places, the latter automatically reaching to brew some tea. But upon realizing she couldn't access her domain, she remembered they were within the Great Chun's divine sense realm.

"Senior, are you pursuing the Great Dao of Life?"

Following some initial courteous banter, Chen Mobai cut straight to the question.

"Based on what my master taught, it ought to be the Great Dao of Life."

The Great Chun spirit appeared somewhat uncertain about the path she followed, opting for the tentative term 'ought'.

Chen Mobai grew perplexed, wondering if the Jumang Lineage's teachings carried some gaps.

"In his final moments, my master strove to cross that threshold, but alas, neither his body nor primordial spirit endured the Great Dao's overwhelming might, crumbling to dust. The last of his essence qi merged with my core, carrying a fragment of the force he'd pulled from the Great Dao."

"Through refining the master's lingering essence qi, I absorbed his insights into the Great Dao. Over innumerable years, I found that my branches could reach into some mysterious realm, gradually pulling in a nurturing energy."

"This must be the Great Dao of Life as you know it!"

As the Great Chun spirit elaborated, Chen Mobai watched translucent branches sprout from her back—eighty in total. Linking this to the volume of True Qi gathered prior to Nascent Soul Formation in the Lasting Spring Cultivation method, he gave a subtle nod.

Chen Mobai observed how the tips of those branches pierced into an unfathomable emptiness. Even so, he could sense the tremendous, boundless vitality being siphoned through the translucent branches, then purified into the Great Chun spirit's form.
