I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2720 - 1253: Farewell to the Spiritual Venerable
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
[The Master resides within the Beiming Sea.]
Upon hearing the colossal beast’s explanation, Chen Mobai pressed on, inquiring how one might gain access to this sacred Beiming Sea.
[That is the Supreme Realm; only those personally summoned by the Master can enter.]
A sense of exasperation washed over Chen Mobai; it was evident that this domain fell under the Spiritual Venerable’s Law Domain.
With no other recourse, he probed into the circumstances surrounding the Spiritual Venerable’s arrival on this particular planet.
These titanic creatures, having attained sentience, exhibited a surprisingly guileless nature, readily dispensing answers to his inquiries.
Ever since the Spiritual Venerable graced this world, the vast Beiming Sea had enveloped all, subsequently summoning these simple-minded entities—content with naught but slumber and sustenance—to impart the arts of blood energy manipulation and energy refinement, thereby revealing to them the Dao of Longevity.
The pivotal shift occurred precisely one century prior.
The Spiritual Venerable ceased their tutelage, and in a flash of silver light, all beings were recommissioned to their profound oceanic abysses.
From that moment forth, a persistent yearning to re-enter the Beiming Sea consumed them.
Regrettably, their exhaustive search across the entire planet yielded no trace of the Spiritual Venerable, let alone the Beiming Sea itself.
Several decades later, their collective efforts waned, and they elected to retreat to their lairs, dedicating themselves to cultivating the techniques bestowed by the Spiritual Venerable in their pursuit of the Dao of Longevity.
This dormancy persisted until the present day, when the formidable aura of the Purple Cloud Palace descended, causing the very heavens and earth to convSimultaneously. The Spiritual Venerable had foretold this, identifying it as the preeminent juncture for seeking one’s own Dao, prompting their immediate convergence.
Engaging in discourse with these disciples of the Spiritual Venerable, Chen Mobai deduced the temporal alignment, surmising it coincided with the Immortal Gate Death God’s Tribulation.
Could it be that the Spiritual Venerable pursued Bai Guang to confront the Death God True Body?
Given the Spiritual Venerable’s command of two Great Primeval Spirits, it was plausible they had indeed left behind a Heavenly Peng Primordial Spirit on this world. Consequently, if the Death God’s might proved unexpectedly overwhelming, the Spiritual Venerable might have sustained grievous injuries, impacting even the Heavenly Peng Primordial Spirit harbored here, thereby necessitating the sealing of the Law Domain for recuperation.
Contemplating this entire sequence of events, Chen Mobai found himself utterly incapable of altering the prevailing circumstances.
Henceforth, his primary course of action, aside from dispatching his Second Primeval Spirit along with the myriad Void Illusions scattered across the planet in a quest for the fabled Beiming Sea, would be for his True Body to seize the infrequent chance presented by the Purple Cloud Palace.
Upon the platform before the entrance, the Innate Great Dao being contemplated was that of 'Killing Destiny'.
For Chen Mobai, this revelation held little practical value; were Bai Guang present, he would undoubtedly reap immense benefits. After a period of contemplation yielding no discernible path forward, Chen Mobai opted to disengage, turning his attention to consolidating and deepening his comprehension of the few Great Daos he primarily cultivated.
Within the Tianhe Realm, the prospect of such an opportunity would necessitate even the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor to await the reformation of the Disk of Life and Death.
Yet, for Chen Mobai, such chances presented themselves with remarkable frequency.
Within the grand tapestry of this universe, attaining the zenith of cultivation hinges upon the availability of openings within the Great Dao’s hierarchy.
As epochs unfold, the impediments to future generations aspiring to ascend transcend mere individual prowess, encompassing as well a rigidly defined cosmic structure.
Reflecting upon this, Chen Mobai perceived a nascent sense of fortune; the demise of the Mystic Palace had ushered away numerous Pure Yang Great Powers from this universe, a circumstance that perhaps allowed him the boldness to even contemplate Harmonizing with Saintly Virtue.
Swiftly thereafter, the foundational steps of the Three Thousand Great Dao were fully manifested.
Meanwhile, above the Sea Territory, an profound silence had descended.
The disciples of the Spiritual Venerable had meticulously established their respective jurisdictions, effectively quelling all residual unrest.
With the final stage of condensation taking place in the deepest recesses of the seabed, Chen Mobai’s Second Primeval Spirit returned without success. With a sigh, he guided the disciples of the Spiritual Venerable to enter the Purple Cloud Palace sequentially.
At that precise moment, the entirety of the planet began to convulse violently.
This tremor, far from subsiding the previously pacified tsunami, instead reignited its fury; just as tranquility seemed poised to return, the planet’s tremors escalated dramatically.
Once, twice, thrice, and then the tremors gave way to a violent, sustained upheaval.
Beneath the aegis of the Heaven Comprehension Earth Spirit, Chen Mobai perceived the planet’s pained groans, an unmistakable manifestation of profound illness and agony.
And precisely as Chen Mobai grasped a dawning realization, the heart-rending sound of the Earth’s Crust fracturing reached his ears.
Crack!
Veins of incandescent subterranean magma surged forth from the fissures in the seabed, instantly superheating the surrounding seawater upon contact. Gradually, the sea surface began to effervesce with bubbles and even plumes of steam.
Theoretically, with such an immense volume of seawater, even a cataclysmic undersea volcanic eruption would be swiftly extinguished and solidified.
Instead of just lava, clusters of dark Flames erupted from the Earth’s crust fissures. These flames bore potent toxins, terrestrial energy, turbid Qi, Evil Qi, and more. These remnants of Innate True Heat, having resided in the planet's core since its formation, were actively transitioning from their Innate to Acquired states. Their extreme instability meant a triggered reaction could lead to catastrophic explosions, potentially obliterating the planet and scattering it into cosmic dust. However, after the planet's formation, and barring any external interference, this Innate True Heat should have been absorbed and contained by the Earth’s core Yuan Magnet, never to emerge. Over extended periods, the Spirit Veins of many planets, along with this Innate True Heat, would gradually shift into an Acquired state under the Great Dao Rules. This processed energy would then be filtered by the Earth, merge with the Void, and release a boundless, tranquil energy – the very source of sustenance for countless life forms. When a planet's reserves of this energy are depleted, it signifies the onset of its decline. The present circumstances undeniably point to a severe issue within the planet's core.
