Yuwen Yin disregards warnings and disappears into the Nine Heavens. News of Qing Emperor Chen Mobai reaching the Void Refining Realm spreads, causing discussion among major holy lands and encouraging Dustless True Monarch. However, Fu Hai True Monarch, Zhao Nancheng, and True Lord Tianling harbor grudges against Chen Mobai. Meanwhile, the Demon Venerable is released and contemplates his next move against the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, potentially allying with others. Chen Mobai, unaware of the stir he's caused, focuses on solidifying his Void Law Body and plans to cultivate the Saintly Virtue Great Dao in the Purple Cloud Universe. He also begins to understand the patterns on his artifact, Turtle Treasure, recognizing its connection to the Void Great Dao and his own transformation.

After Chen Mobai returned to Wangxing by clicking on Turtle Treasure, he took out his Xuanxu Pill.

The elixir was entirely jade-like in its luster, and its surface was adorned with flowing cloud patterns, which were Dao patterns of the elixir.

Originally, it had six and a half stripes, indicating that within the sixth rank, it was at the pinnacle level. After Chen Mobai infused it with the power of his Saintly Virtue Great Dao, he completed the half stripe, and now it had seven complete Dao patterns.

So the central half-stripe was a faint golden color.

After carefully examining the Xuanxu Pill again, Chen Mobai did not take it immediately. Instead, he allowed his Primordial Spirit to adapt to the current sixth rank Void Law Body.

Even though his realm was stable, if he wasn’t proficient with his power, unexpected incidents might occur upon stepping into the Great Dao.

Being cautious, he adapted to his current power while refining his Morning Bell.

This Lifespan Artifact, during Chen Mobai’s clear path to the Great Dao, was endowed with the Power of the Innate Yin Yang Great Dao. Moreover, the Dragon Palace treasury contained many compatible sixth-rank materials, which he integrated, and now it showed signs of advancing to sixth-rank middle grade.

Upon the Primordial Spirit in the Nascent Soul entering the Great Dao, the first challenge is to endure the impact of the Great Dao, followed by integration.

Yet, humans are limited, and the Great Dao is infinite. Many cultivators endure the impact with a tenacious will, but during the integration process, they become enthralled, unable to extricate themselves, ultimately becoming puppets to the Great Dao.

Chen Mobai’s Morning Bell, though it didn’t have any glorious battle records in the more than three hundred years of his cultivation, was one of his biggest reliances to continue cultivating until now.

This Lifespan Artifact allowed him to not fear falling into madness, unafraid of various demonic secret methods targeting the heart and mind, and it could even help in passing the Nascent Soul challenge.

It was for this reason that Chen Mobai was willing to spend time refining this artifact.

Another three years quickly passed.

With the sound of a clear and melodious bell, the black and white divine light flowed but then converged instantly, signifying the Morning Bell had advanced to sixth-rank middle grade.

"It is time to begin..."

Chen Mobai took a deep breath, murmuring to himself.

In the past three years, he had become familiar with the sixth-ranked Void Law Body and had deeper insights into the four volumes of the Taixu Heavenly Book.

If he were cultivating the Void Great Dao as a Nascent Soul, he would confidently say it is foolproof.

However, because this Great Dao is foundational to the universe, it carries not only numerous Nascent Soul imprints but also the consciousness of True Immortal Dao Monarchs and even Pure Yang entities. Chen Mobai did not wish to alert all the great abilities of this universe as soon as he began cultivating the Nascent Soul.

Saintly Virtue, on the other hand, was not only an Innate Great Dao but also unoccupied, with little karma.

Chen Mobai speculated that this path’s weaker dueling ability might be why the senior brothers and sisters of Purple Cloud Palace did not choose it, allowing him to find a loophole.

After confirming that all his preparations were in order, Chen Mobai controlled the entire cave dwelling’s restriction using the Primordial Clock, casting Five-Colored Divine Light to prevent interference during his breakthrough.

Then, he tied the Morning Bell to the Primordial Yang Sword’s hilt, to avoid getting lost in the Saintly Virtue Great Dao.

Finally, Chen Mobai took out the Xuanxu Pill and directly swallowed it.

As the elixir entered, it initially felt like a gentle warm stream rising towards the Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion. Having thoroughly read the usage instructions, Chen Mobai immediately operated his Primordial Spirit to release the Saintly Virtue Pure Light, slowly but smoothly refining this potent energy.

Unlike the fierce immortality pill, the effects of the Xuanxu Pill were very mild, which made Chen Mobai greatly admire Xuanhu Dojo’s alchemy skills.

As time passed, Chen Mobai unknowingly refined most of the Xuanxu Pill.

When the final gold-thread-like Dao pattern of the elixir was refined, the Xuanxu Pill’s potency took Chen Mobai’s Primordial Spirit straight into the essence of the Great Dao.

Chen Mobai felt his consciousness being pulled over a vast golden river.

This golden river seemed to connect the past with the present, where every droplet of splashed water reflected scenes of enlightening all beings, with saints writing classics, sages imparting teachings, and countless seeds of civilization being passed in the star sea.

Is this the manifestation of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao in the Purple Cloud Universe?

Chen Mobai was slightly puzzled and wanted to get closer but found his Primordial Spirit unable to move.

He soon realized why and started to operate the Power of Void.

This step of the breakthrough allowed the Primordial Spirit to face the Great Dao directly. Although the distance to step into the Great Dao seemed short, it was indeed an endless expanse, so only using the Power of Void could he relocate there.

It is for this reason that this realm is known as Cultivating Void.

Chen Mobai’s mastery of the Void Great Dao far exceeded that of the Spiritual Venerable and others. With a mere thought, the golden river was already within close range.

During this process, he had a sudden inspiration, using Void Sky Orbit Vision, and here this divine skill finally revealed its true purpose.

Through the endless void carrying the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, Chen Mobai saw the upstream and downstream of the golden river.

He discovered that this river not only spanned through the ancient and present times but also branched into streams of various sizes, some streams even as large as the river, but the vast majority appeared to be nearing desiccation.

Chen Mobai wanted to see more, operating the Void Sky Orbit Vision to trace the source and the end of the golden river.

However, his cultivation was limited; he could only catch a glimpse.

Amidst sighs, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated and began to wield the power of Void, making contact with the golden river’s surface.

But once the process of stepping into the Great Dao begins, there is no turning back.

Upon sensing Chen Mobai’s Primordial Spirit presence, the golden river surged relentlessly, engulfing him entirely in an instant.

Yet, at the moment when Chen Mobai was ready to confront the enemy, he found the power of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao harmonizing seamlessly with him, as if he were just an extension of its tributary, merely returning to the mother river.

The so-called shock of the Great Dao, for Chen Mobai, was merely a review of his speech and actions from a young age to adulthood.

Like a revolving lantern, many contents dissipated after being reviewed, but some shone brightly in the golden river.

For instance, when Chen Mobai helped his deskmate with homework during elementary school, tutored his sister Wang Xinying during middle school, and received guidance from Yan Bingxuan during high school...

Are these the Saintly Virtue?

[Enlightenment is Saintly Virtue!]

The majestic Dao sound resonated in Chen Mobai’s heart and mind, providing him with an enlightening answer.

Subsequently, more of Chen Mobai’s memories emerged in the golden river, most were submerged and dissipated, but some were as brilliant as gold.

Such as when he reformed the sect in Eastern Wilderness, unified territories, ensured everyone had food and clothing, ushering in prosperity for ages.

[Royal dominion is Saintly Virtue!]

And also when he took in disciples like Liu Wenbo, apprenticed by teaching through words and deeds, established an Immortal Gate education system in East Continent, and promoted Five Elements Law restricting cultivators, transforming the originally wild Five Elements Sect into a nation of civility and peace.

[Educating the masses is Saintly Virtue!]

Thereafter came images of vanquishing demons, safeguarding the path, sacrificing life for righteousness, and so forth.

Many means which Chen Mobai considered not quite Saintly Virtue also radiated light in the golden river.

"Indeed, everything I’ve done is right."

In an instant, Chen Mobai’s understanding of the true essence of Saintly Virtue deepened, and his Dao Heart grew more determined.

As the Pure Yang Scroll operated, Chen Mobai followed the teachings of the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable, reflecting upon his life’s Saintly Virtue as kindling, using the Primordial Spirit to spread across the entire golden river.

Gradually, Chen Mobai found his consciousness within the Saintly Virtue Great Dao began to expand infinitely, seemingly to merge completely with it and cover the golden river visible to his Void Sky Orbit Vision.

Is this stepping into the Great Dao?!

Chen Mobai was slightly surprised, though aware that with his foundation, plus the assistance of the Xuanxu Pill, the success rate for advancing to Sixth Rank was high, yet this lack of challenge left him somewhat unfulfilled.

But since he succeeded, he naturally would not increase the difficulty for himself.

Seizing the moment when his Primordial Spirit fused with the Saintly Virtue Great Dao and started leaving imprints, he also did not forget to consecrate the Primordial Yang Sword, allowing it to absorb the essence of the Great Dao.

As time slowly passed, Chen Mobai no longer knew how long he had been within the Saintly Virtue Great Dao.

All he knew was that his Primordial Spirit had encompassed all of the visible golden river, even the corresponding tributaries, as long as they hadn’t dried up, had also been claimed by him.

However, upon reaching this stage, his accumulation had been depleted.

This encompassing of the Great Dao was not only about his Divine Consciousness Intensity but also his mastery of the Void. After all, he had merely begun cultivating Void.

At this time, Chen Mobai suddenly recalled a previous question, so he simply divided into two consciousness, one to ascend against the flow to the origin of the golden river, and the other to drift towards the end, wanting to see how much more effort was needed to fully master the Saintly Virtue Great Dao.

And during this process, Chen Mobai also wished to leave his imprints across various parts of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, preparing the groundwork for future Harmonization.

To Chen Mobai’s surprise, this Saintly Virtue Great Dao was incredibly pure; it seemed that Nascent Soul cultivators entering this Great Dao were exceedingly rare, as he could only detect traces of other beings left in the tributaries.

But these imprints had long lost their vitality, evidently having perished and transformed through the ages.

This was a good thing for Chen Mobai, but for some reason, he felt slightly melancholic inside.

He seemed to be worried that the current state of these predecessors might be his own future.

Because his two divided consciousness moved up and down the golden river, seemingly endless with no sight of the end.

Chen Mobai had a moment when he wanted to give up and withdraw these two consciousness.

But he always felt, perhaps just needing a little bit more, so he continued trying.

As he didn’t know how long had passed, when his divided consciousness was about to be exhausted, a majestic figure emerged in front of him.

The majestic figure was enormous, standing at the confluence of the golden river and a giant tributary.

He seemed to have opened up this tributary, as the master of this Great Dao.

Naturally, the majestic figure also noticed Chen Mobai’s consciousness, and his eyes shone brightly like stars, turning to look at him.
