I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2564 - 1161: The True Essence of End of Destiny, the Subtle Uses of Hun Yuan
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Chen Mobai displayed a look of disappointment once more upon the fourth Dao Platform.
This wasn't the End of Destiny he had anticipated.
Yet, its connection to the Pure Yang Scroll meant it had to be Nirvana, the sole Great Dao among the six he hadn't grasped yet.
This Great Dao holds the might of transcendence and eternal life.
It stands against the annihilating forces at the universe's close.
But knowing the Saintly Virtue Great Dao in this Great Thousand Universe remains unclaimed, Chen Mobai refused to squander effort on comprehending Nirvana.
Even Dan Ding Taoist, direct disciple of Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, had stumbled fatally on this path.
Though Chen Mobai could boldly proclaim himself the supreme genius in this Immortal Gate across history, against the vast universe, it fell short.
Furthermore, all his practices—like the Pure Yang Scroll and Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram—Dan Ding Taoist had perfected, delving deeper than Chen Mobai's own level, right up to Void Refining pinnacle.
Seizing Saintly Virtue proves wiser!
Harboring this resolve, Chen Mobai stood and departed the Nirvana Platform swiftly, hurrying to the subsequent one.
The Three Thousand Great Dao path to Purple Cloud Palace was undoubtedly forged by Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, with prior platforms and steps tied to the Pure Yang Scroll.
Thus, the fifth Dao Platform ought to feature the End of Destiny Great Dao.
Chen Mobai favored serving as an exemplar and deemed this sequence ideal for instruction.
Evidently, Purple Sky Daoist Venerable concurred.
As he neared the fifth Dao Platform, the Apocalypse Great Mill within his Purple Mansion's Sea of Knowledge deepened, its Power of the End spreading faintly yet restrained by Saintly Virtue into a mere corner.
Heart pounding with thrill, he mounted it.
Instantly, the ceaseless rotation of the Apocalypse Great Mill ceased.
Right then, Chen Mobai pierced the core truth of this Great Dao.
The End of Destiny isn't mere ruin, carnage, or conclusion.
Instead, it's the Great Thousand Universe's self-preserving heavenly retribution!
Nascent Soul cultivators plunder heaven and earth's essence, siphon the Great Dao's marrow for self-nourishment; prolonged existence intensifies void-refining, hastening cosmic doom.
Hence, a Demon Lord arises periodically to purge excesses.
The Demon Lord serves as this universe's redeemer!
Chen Mobai never dreamed the End of Destiny Great Dao's essence embodied salvation.
Did that imply his Saintly Virtue's true core heralded apocalypse?
Chen Mobai pondered deeply.
Yet conviction soon steadied him.
Saintly Virtue and End of Destiny represent diametric salvation routes: one redeems sentient life, the other the cosmos itself!
Conflicts abound between them.
Saving beings wounds the universe; safeguarding the universe dooms the beings.
This insight unveiled the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable's supplemental guidance for him.
In the Great Thousand Universe, he embodies the Saint rescuing life; in Tianhe Realm, the sage upholding realm order.
Ultimately, he upholds Xuanmen Righteous Path.
Dao heart purified, Chen Mobai delved serenely into the End of Destiny Great Dao.
Now he grasped why this Great Dao resonated profoundly with him.
Back in East Wu, igniting hundreds of spiritual veins via Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder, culling over a million demons, earned acclaim as vast benevolence, a cosmic boon.
Heavenly will views myriad cultivators absorbing Spiritual Qi as parasites, waxing stronger with insatiable hungers.
Thus, eradicating beings forms the End of Destiny Great Dao's practice.
Yet Righteous Path cultivators, earning merits that aid Spiritual Qi flow, heaven and earth deem conscripted allies.
Magic Daoist Monks differ, sowing only havoc and seizure—profound evil.
Hence, slaying them, particularly those steeped in malevolence, merits heavenly favor, granting Power of the End.
Time flowed softly as Chen Mobai immersed utterly in the End of Destiny Great Dao.
The Apocalypse Great Mill halted, its three thousand faces igniting as one, manifesting a barren vista of silenced existence.
This marks Primordial realm!
Regrettably, even Demon Lords haven't attained Primordial.
For Primordial demands extinguishing all life!
Chen Mobai shuns this; he seeks dual mastery of Saintly Virtue and End of Destiny, then Purple Sky Daoist Venerable's secrets to affirm Pure Yang.
What transcends Pure Yang lies beyond his current grasp.
Wonder if those foremost senior brothers and sisters in Purple Heaven Palace cultivated creation's power, trailing their master to eternity's shore?
Chen Mobai mused, sensing Saintly Virtue in his Purple Mansion Sea of Knowledge straining against the Apocalypse Great Mill, so he halted.
Rising, he glanced below, surprise dawning.
Qian Xing’s reincarnated form sat at the 136th step, eyes shut in profound meditation. Prior Nascent Soul-below Immortal Gate record stood at merely 93rd step.
And he was but Foundation Establishment.
Yet Chen Mobai noted a enigmatic five-colored jade seal pulsing at Qian Xing’s brow center.
Patching Heaven Seal!
Had Qian Xing awakened?
Doubt lingered in Chen Mobai, but with Qian Xing’s body immersed in Great Dao, interference was impossible; he wished him fortune in seizing Void cultivation chance amid Purple Heaven Palace.
A swift tally showed three days spent on this End of Destiny Great Dao comprehension.
Though barely started on these platforms and steps, Chen Mobai deemed initial yields ample.
He had clarified his cultivation trajectory, banishing all confusion.
Departing the End of Destiny platform, Chen Mobai ascended briskly, conquering over a thousand steps and sixteen platforms.
There, Narcissus appeared.
Pale and seated on a step, she strained to fathom her aligned Great Dao.
Chen Mobai meant to bypass silently, but Narcissus opened her eyes and sighed.
"It seems my limit is only here."
Thus, feet lifting from ground, Purple Heaven Palace’s Great Dao power bore Narcissus past Chen Mobai, descending the mountain.
Powers unusable here, Chen Mobai watched helplessly.
Bearing her reluctance, he pressed upward.
Arriving here, Chen Mobai paused anew, facing five successive steps tied to his cultivation.
Five Elements Great Dao!
Narcissus halted at Water Elemental Path step, insights from near-millennium accumulation aiding, yet deeper probes repelled her shallow foundation and depleted Divine Sense.
Chen Mobai, proficient, sequentially mastered the Five Elements Great Dao.
Shortest stay graced the Fire Element step, his profound insights accelerating it. Others drew from Dao Fruits and Immortal Spirit Roots Wenda.
Balancing Five Elements Great Dao comprehension to his realm, Chen Mobai advanced to the Innate Five Elements Great Dao platform.
Freshly descended to mountain base, Narcissus beheld this enviously.
For her, Purple Heaven Palace aimed at Water Elemental Path comprehension, not summit; she poured all into that step.
Path set, Chen Mobai lingered half-day on Innate Five Elements Great Dao platform, ceasing upon sensing limits.
Then, onward to peak.
En route, Yunhai and Cheng Xuan plummeted from above; he watched their descent while scaling over two thousand steps, then barred by a specific platform.
Primordial Great Dao enshrouded it.
Though Primordial Dao Fruit lent Chen Mobai insights, it chiefly powered Yi Yuan Avatar and super Primordial Body evolution.
Usage came easy, principles eluded full grasp.
This chance fortified Primordial Great Dao foundations.
Primordial denotes elemental source energy.
Mastery enables fusing any needed elemental energies via acquired means.
This evoked Nine Heavens Morality Sect's Seventh Rank Pure Spirit Immortal Qi—Innate Qi birthing any innate/acquired spiritual qi, top-down.
Primordial mirrors it, reversing acquired to innate.
It paralleled Immortal Gate's Yuan Xu-crafted Seventy-Two Earth Fiend Qi synthesis, blending lower Five Elements Essence into superior Terrestrial Evil Qi.
Thus Yi Yuan True Monarch extreme-cultivated External Incarnation to Divinity Transformation peak in Tianhe Realm.
Any Terrestrial Evil Qi instantly forged via Primordial Great Dao.
Primordial Great Dao merges any spiritual qi, evil qi, true qi, even Innate Qi.
This epiphany neared completion of Chen Mobai’s Thousand Swords Dharma Body.
Nine Heavens Morality Sect Immortal Spirit Qi spanned ten years, boosting External Incarnation to Rank-5, as Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing required it too.
Chen Mobai comprehended fully.
He'd intended post-tasks to probe Tianhe Realm's Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation, harvest and distill Pure Spirit Immortal Qi.
Now, that pursuit seemed redundant.
