I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2496 - 1117: Mahayana Book

"True Monarch, everything is prepared."
The Yu Yi Elder positioned two sixth-rank tree hearts upon the crafting table, while indicating the array of talisman inks, brushes, and assorted implements spread across it, and addressed him deferentially.
"In that case, I'll entrust it to you. I'm heading upstairs to the attic for some reading; summon me once you've completed the drawing."
Chen Mobai gave a nod, halting his efforts in grinding the ink.
As a bearer of immense Qi Luck, his mere involvement in the talisman crafting process would allow him to share his fortunate aura with Yu Yi, thereby boosting her odds of triumph.
For crafting the two Wood Spiritual Talismans, Yu Yi relied on the printing technique from the Guidance Book, yet it demanded her undivided attention and a substantial amount of time.
Standing idly by wasn't an option for Chen Mobai; merely assisting with ink grinding in a token manner sufficed to demonstrate his participation.
"Understood, True Monarch. Allow me to assist in lifting the seals on the Heavenly Books for you."
Upon hearing this, the Yu Yi Elder began to rise, only for Chen Mobai to shake his head in refusal.
"I can now personally remove the seals from the Heavenly Books, sparing you the need to deplete your Elemental Energy."
With those words, Chen Mobai retrieved the birdcage from the room's corner and made his way to the Pavilion of Heavenly Books.
During his journey to the Heavenly Book Academy, Chen Mobai had thoroughly examined Kong Feichen's circumstances, discovering that his consciousness appeared utterly shattered, resulting in the disordered state of the birds containing the Twofold Divine Technique.
This represents the primary weakness of the Devour God Technique: upon the central figure's death, every God Seed disperses and could even serve as sustenance for whoever bears the implanted God Seed.
That said, the Twofold Divine Technique may operate differently; the portions divided by Kong Feichen and Yang Jing endured even after the host body's demise. The Immortal Gate has conducted limited studies on this matter, and Chen Mobai intended for Yuan Xu to explore it further in due course.
Chen Mobai harbored intricate emotions regarding Kong Feichen's present plight.
Although their bond was merely passable, Kong Feichen was Qing Nu's sibling, and his initial aim had been to rescue Yang Jing; however, owing to his inexperience and limited abilities, it culminated in this sorrowful outcome.
Should the opportunity arise, Chen Mobai would prefer to rescue him, yet regrettably, Kong Feichen's affliction proved irreparable.
At the very least, he persists in living.
This counts as a silver lining in the storm.
Entering the basement of the Pavilion of Heavenly Books, Chen Mobai set down the birdcage, reached out to probe the bird's state, and let out a sigh upon detecting its almost shattered Sea of Knowledge within the Purple Mansion.
"Out of respect for our past connection, I shall keep this from Qing Nu to prevent her grief."
Chen Mobai directed these words toward the bird.
Over the years, Qing Nu had gradually accepted the loss of her siblings, but informing her that her brother had become a mindless bird could shatter her Dao Heart anew.
Regrettably, the caged bird stayed unresponsive, its eyes staring blankly.
Chen Mobai pointed with one finger, allowing a trace of Spiritual Light to gather at the tip before softly descending onto the bird. Once he fine-tuned it using the Flame Lighting Technique, he ascended to the attic.
Every encounter with the Seven Great Heavenly Books filled Chen Mobai with eager expectation.
For they contained vast realms of wisdom still awaiting his understanding.
Beyond the exhilarating peaks of cultivation advances, the greatest delight for Chen Mobai came from devouring fresh, unexplored insights.
Knowledge acquisition yields true bliss.
Resting his palm on the Universe Scripture, a seal materialized at once. Activating the Law of the Five Tones, the depths of this fifth-rank seal gradually revealed themselves to his perception.
Were it not for the necessity of resealing the Heavenly Books prior to departure, he might have employed the Primordial Bead to unravel every seal across the Seven Great Heavenly Books.
Some time passed, and with streams of Spiritual Light dancing from his fingertips, the seal surrounding the Universe Scripture vanished.
A faint smile graced Chen Mobai's lips as the Heavenly Book rose and unfurled.
Joyful times slip away swiftly, and before he knew it, Chen Mobai had delved into the entirety of the Seven Great Heavenly Books. Thanks to the Law of the Five Tones, he grasped the core of all but the Mahayana Book among the six; even that one offered glimpses of its secrets.
The Universe Scripture chronicles the core Great Dao tied to the Void.
The Purple Green Book embodies the vital Force of Life in the Two Forms cycle, alongside the enigmatic Profound Mechanism of Creation.
The Phoenix Seal Scripture serves as a beacon for the wisdom, spirit, resolve, and virtue that guide every living entity.
The Taoist Laws Sure-book chronicles the governing principles behind all cosmic phenomena.
The Taiyuan Heavenly Book signifies the being of all entities, diverse Elemental Energies, and every form of substance.
The Life and Death Scripture outlines the cycle of rebirth for souls, culminating in their final return to emptiness.
Emptiness, genesis, essence, principles, being, annihilation—these elements fuse to forge the ultimate foundational realm, known as the Law Domain!
With this epiphany, a radiant beam emanated from the once-impenetrable Mahayana Book, commencing the revelation of its arcane secrets.
Grasping the Six Great Heavenly Books unlocks the vision of "Mahayana".
In the past, upon attaining realization in Innate Yin Yang, Chen Mobai's thoughts had started weaving together the Five Great Scripture, the teachings of Purple Cloud Daoist Venerable, and the Heavenly Book's lore, yet it lacked the vital connecting strand to unify them.
At present, amid the Mahayana Book's enigmatic depths, that unification occurred.
The Mahayana it described truly pertained to techniques for forging worlds and expanding the cosmos.
While the Law Domain forms the simplest world structure, the Mahayana Book details far more comprehensive approaches to world genesis. By using the Great Dao inscribed in the Six Great Heavenly Books as a foundation, practitioners can discern the functions of other Innate Great Dao in cosmic formation, eventually manifesting the Three Thousand Great Dao within the emergent universe.
