I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2561 - 1159: Breakthrough at the First Step

To roam freely within the Great Dao while preserving one's existence, one must cultivate Void.

Fully comprehending the Great Dao remains as arduous as ascending to the heavens.

This resembles acquiring swimming prowess to navigate the vast ocean, yet lacking the power to rule over the sea.

Harmony with the Dao requires persistent refinement of the Great Dao alongside bolstering one's own strength.

Upon reaching the first step, Chen Mobai instinctively triggered the Pure Yang Scroll, with boundless Dao rhythms pouring endlessly and fusing into his Azure Bird Dharma Aspect.

His aura swelled progressively more majestic, embarking on an unrelenting rise.

Beneath the shocked stares of everyone assembled, he shattered the bottleneck straightaway, ascending to a higher realm.

A streak of Pure Yang Immortal Light pierced the skies, enveloping practitioners of Yang attribute techniques in a soothing spring breeze, faintly awakening insights as though they had already mounted the steps of Purple Cloud Palace.

"The True Monarch appears to have advanced to the middle stage of Deity Transformation?"

After consulting the sect's archives, Yuan Xu cross-referenced Yuan Yang Ancestor’s cultivation logs and found himself stunned, voicing his disbelief.

"So I wasn't wrong after all..."

Nangong Xuanyu whispered at his side, shock etched uncontrollably on his features.

As someone who also practiced the Pure Yang Scroll, he knew intimately the distinctive auras and signs of each stage in this technique. He had spotted hints even prior to Chen Mobai’s breakthrough.

Still, he hesitated to accept it.

After all, Chen Mobai had only begun Deity Transformation a mere twenty-odd years ago.

Remember, that span might not suffice for certain Nascent Soul cultivators to breach even a single minor layer.

Nevertheless, Chen Mobai leaped directly from early to middle stage Deity Transformation.

This defied reason even more than Wenren Xuewei's recent jump from Nascent Soul Seventh Layer to Ninth Layer.

Was mere talent sufficient for such feats?

It had to stem from Purple Cloud Palace's profound mysteries...

Such thoughts filled their minds, yet boundless awe surged uncontrollably in their hearts.

Word of Chen Mobai's breakthrough to middle stage Deity Transformation merely by treading the first step swiftly disseminated from Nascent Soul cultivators outward to all in the Three Great Halls and Four Great Daoist Sects.

These individuals had queued up, ready to follow Chen Mobai's ascent.

Yet with Chen Mobai halted at the initial step, the lines froze in anticipation, beholding this unprecedented spectacle.

Despite Nascent Soul leaders at each queue's front, murmurs rippled through the crowds, marveling at Pure Yang True Monarch's phenomenal aptitude.

Debates raged over the once-acclaimed top talent, Yuan Yang Ancestor, speculating how Chen Mobai measured up.

A few claimed five times greater, this boldest assertion mostly from Pure Yang Academy members in the Patching Heaven Lineage.

The majority pegged it at twofold or threefold.

At the Three Great Halls' queue forefront, Chen Xiaohei puffed up with immense pride, standing prouder.

Unbeknownst to her, two women in the nearby Dancing Instruments and Kunpeng lines mirrored her triumphant look.

Chen Mobai hadn't anticipated breaking through to middle stage Deity Transformation amid Dao rhythm contemplation on Pure Yang Great Dao's first step.

This owed much to the Ascension Dragon Gall Pill's potency.

In the year awaiting Purple Cloud Palace within the sect, as Three Great Halls and Cheng Xuan Yunhai managed affairs, he leisurely ingested and refined the Ascension Dragon Gall Pills sequentially.

This pill, deliberately placed in the Dao Fruit by Dan Ding Taoist, proved exceptionally potent for Deity Transformation cultivators.

Chen Mobai took just five and pushed his Pure Yang Scroll to early stage Deity Transformation's pinnacle, hitting a bottleneck.

He saved the last two pills, planning post-Purple Cloud Palace seclusion to smash that barrier.

Who could foresee such fortune, where Purple Cloud Palace's first step and Pure Yang Great Dao rhythms propelled a seamless breakthrough.

This advance flowed naturally, bypassing any need for Pure Yang Great Dao consolidation.

Right then, Chen Mobai grasped a deeper essence of the Pure Yang Scroll.

Namely, its bottlenecks prove far simpler to surmount than other arts, growing easier in later phases.

Though texts on this Deity Transformation method mentioned it, Chen Mobai sensed little during early practice due to his mediocre starting talent—even halving difficulty from ten to nine felt negligible.

Post-Deity Transformation, the advantage amplified markedly, particularly after his insights soared via Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram and Super Primordial Body mastery with Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root, crowning him an unrivaled prodigy.

Thus, barriers others might hammer at for centuries yielded to his slightest nudge with aid.

Chen Mobai sensed even Deity Transformation's late stage, or the Cultivating Void Heavenly Rift, posed no great challenge.

Easy to start yet tough to perfect, the Pure Yang Scroll's later simplicity shone brightest in him.

Still, this propelled him merely to Cultivating Void.

Harmonization entails total Great Dao refinement and dominion.

Bottlenecks cease to matter there.

Success hinges solely on Great Dao vacancies.

Should one exist, endless lifespan without rivals guarantees triumph through perseverance.

Granted, pre-Harmonization Cultivating Void efficiency in Great Dao power refinement varies by technique.

The Pure Yang Scroll excels here too.

Yet the pivotal element is Nascent Soul Formation's foundational True Qi volume.

Seated steadily on the first step, insights into Pure Yang Scroll contents from Dan Ding Taoist and Purple Sky Daoist Venerable flooded his Sea of Consciousness, yielding deeper comprehension.

Efficiency in Great Dao power refinement turns on pre-Nascent Soul True Qi condensation quantity.

For instance, Chen Mobai's 108 Pure Yang True Qi strands let him extract 108 Great Dao power strands from Pure Yang Great Dao simultaneously during fusion, integrating them into his Primordial Spirit.

With scant single-digit True Qi at Nascent Soul, advancing cultivation exposes the profound base's ever-widening lead.

Take Five Elements Sect's Mo Douguang: same realm as Chen Mobai, yet the latter refines nearly tenfold Great Dao power per session.

Accumulated, this divide turns uncrossable.

This evoked Chen Mobai's initial Spirit of Big Tree encounter, where in that dreamlike Sea of Consciousness, 80 branches plunged into Life's Great Dao.

Though bemused, the Spirit of Big Tree innately drew Life Great Dao power to fortify itself, embodying cultivation truths.

Chen Mobai now pitied Wenren Xuewei.

For wartime aid to Jumang Academy, she skipped maxing 80 True Qi strands via Lasting Spring Cultivation.

Had I realized sooner, a gentle nudge of advice was in order.

Close friends with Wenren Xuewei, Chen Mobai earnestly wished her higher realms to journey beside him longer.

Alas, this pertains to Deity Transformation peak to Cultivating Void transition, absent from Immortal Gate legacies.

Xianmen's Five Ancestors likely gleaned fragments from elders at White Crane Dao Arena sans full grasp, none reaching Void cultivation. Thus, they urged maximum pre-Nascent Soul True Qi in teachings.

Chen Mobai felt thankful: Sect of Realms origins granted peak resources, plus Yan Bingxuan’s Nascent Soul True Cold aid during his Nascent Soul forged 108 Pure Yang True Qi strands, crafting the ultimate foundation.

Hence, atop this first step, 108 strands of Pure Yang Great Dao power streamed into his Azure Bird Primordial Spirit, fueling profound Great Dao and technique insights.

Then did Chen Mobai affirm the Pure Yang Scroll's fame as Purple Sky Daoist Venerable's legacy.

Though Lasting Spring Cultivation maxed 240 True Qi strands and Six Imperial Scripture 360, these tally per method separately.

Per art, Lasting Spring capped at 80, Six Imperial Scripture at 60.

Pure Yang Scroll stands alone at 108 strands inherently.

On foundation depth, it rightfully eclipses Lasting Spring Cultivation and Six Imperial Scripture.

Certainly, Great Dao cultivation isn't simplistic; having grasped Six Imperial Scripture, Chen Mobai knew it pulled six Great Dao powers concurrently for enhancement. In Cultivating Void with Law Domain Great Divine Power, it utterly dominated Pure Yang Scroll.

Against Devil Cultivators, though, Pure Yang Scroll's evil-repelling traits granted supremacy.

After seven days, Chen Mobai sensed his Azure Bird Primordial Spirit saturated with Pure Yang Great Dao Dao Rhythms at capacity, autonomously halting his technique.

Eyes parting languidly, they gleamed like twin stars over Taixu Mountain Range, his awe-inspiring Pure Yang aura commanding universal reverence.

"Looks like I kept you waiting!"

Glancing back, Chen Mobai beheld the five lengthy queues of Immortal Gate Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators, smiled these words, nodded to the leading five Nascent Souls, then advanced to the second step.

This marked Pure Yin Great Dao.

Valuable insights beckoned for Chen Mobai, master of Yin Yang Great Dao.

Once more, he paused upon this step.

As Ye Yune prepared to guide Chen Xiaohei upward, she halted abruptly to avoid disturbing Pure Yang True Monarch's potential breakthrough anew.

Yet this occasion lacked prior astonishment.

After merely half a day on the step, Chen Mobai pressed to the third, then surged nonstop to the first Dao Platform!
