Chen Mobai refined his Morning Bell and consumed the Xuanxu Pill to begin his breakthrough into the Saintly Virtue Great Dao. He found the process surprisingly smooth, with memories of his virtuous actions guiding him through the Great Dao. He began to imprint his presence onto the Great Dao, but found its vastness daunting. As his divided consciousness explored the golden river of Saintly Virtue, a majestic figure appeared.

Chen Mobai was suddenly startled in his heart.

He roughly guessed that the person before him should be a Seventh Rank True Immortal who has harmonized with the Acquired Great Dao related to Saintly Virtue.

[Greetings, young friend.]

The Seventh Rank True Immortal saw Chen Mobai, smiled slightly, resonated with the Great Tao, and took the initiative to speak.

[I dare not, this junior pays respect to the senior.]

Chen Mobai immediately returned the salute. According to his usual cautious nature, in the face of such top-ranked beings, he would definitely have run without looking back. But beings who can harmonize with the Saintly Virtue related Great Dao are definitely trustworthy in terms of character, and there’s no need to worry about them causing harm.

Moreover, Chen Mobai has already stepped onto the Great Tao, and over at Wangxing it’s certainly already evident; it’s unavoidable to conceal it.

Rather than being sought out by this Seventh Rank existence later, it’s better to communicate now.

[Congratulations, young friend, on reaching the Sixth Rank. I hope to see you again in ten thousand years.]

The words from the towering figure made Chen Mobai frown slightly, implying he might stop at the Sixth Rank, unable to harmonize and attain immortality.

[Senior, I wish to take a look at the source of the Great Tao. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.]

Feeling the conversation wasn’t going well, Chen Mobai took the initiative to bid farewell.

[The source of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao is unreachable with your current cultivation level, young friend. However, downstream, you can glimpse it.]

The towering figure’s words made Chen Mobai stop in his tracks.

True Immortals who cultivate the Saintly Virtue related Great Dao are certainly above lying.

Chen Mobai: [Thank you, senior, for informing me. How should I address you?]

The towering figure smiled faintly: [My name hasn’t been used for a long time, but if you need a name, young friend can call me Primordial Saint.]

Primordial Saint!

After silently noting it down in his heart, Chen Mobai thought about checking at the Upper Realm Gate when he returned; any Seventh Rank existence is renowned, whether at the Central Dojo or the Four Palaces.

Since he couldn’t reach the origin of the Great Tao, he simply began to chat with this Primordial Saint: [With your senior’s cultivation, can’t you reverse and reach the source?]

Hearing Chen Mobai’s words, the Primordial Saint didn’t answer but lifted his steps, stepping out from the tributary towards the golden long river.

And with this action, the once calm golden long river suddenly started to surge violently, as if it would soon rage with waves. The Primordial Saint sighed and retracted his foot.

Primordial Saint: [Returning the acquired to the innate is a chasm for many True Immortals. I’ve been here for thirty thousand years, and I am still blocked in front of the Saintly Virtue Gate.]

Seeing this, Chen Mobai suddenly had a concrete understanding of the value of stepping into the Saintly Virtue Great Dao.

[Thank you, senior, for your insights, but from my observation, the Saintly Virtue Great Dao is very pure. With your potential to harmonize with the Dao, you should have stepped into it easily during the Void Refining stage. Why choose the Acquired Great Dao?]

It was rare for Chen Mobai to encounter one associated with the Saintly Virtue Great Dao here in the Purple Cloud Universe and, trusting in their character, shamelessly asked his confusion.

[It seems the teachings of your master are rather ordinary.] To this, the Primordial Saint said.

[Senior’s insight is profound; I am a cultivator from the Northern Edge Star Domain of the Central Dojo. The highest cultivation on my planet was the Divinity Transformation, and I broke through to Void Refining after leaving.]

Chen Mobai hesitated to claim to be from the Purple Cloud Palace in front of a Seventh Rank. After all, the existence might have attended lessons at the Purple Cloud Palace, so he mentioned his rural birthplace on Earth Element Star.

[Actually, this Saintly Virtue Great Dao is already claimed, so geniuses with dojo traditions don’t choose it during the Void Refining stage. Precisely because it has an owner, this Saintly Virtue Great Dao remains so pure.]

The Primordial Saint’s words made Chen Mobai’s face change drastically, and he exclaimed inwardly that it was impossible.

After all, back in the Purple Cloud Palace, Chen Mobai received a clear response, stating that the Saintly Virtue Great Dao was unclaimed in this universe.

But this Seventh Rank True Immortal before him had no reason to deceive him, a stranger.

Hence, Chen Mobai was baffled — was there an issue with the Purple Cloud Palace, or was it that the person in front of him, due to not being at a high level, didn’t understand deeply?

[May I ask the senior, which Daoist Monarch harmonized with this Saintly Virtue Great Dao?] Chen Mobai simply asked directly.

After all, if the Saintly Virtue Great Dao is occupied in the Purple Cloud Universe, then his achievements in the future can only stop at the Sixth Rank peak, never able to harmonize in this lifetime.

In response, the Primordial Saint did not reply but raised a hand to point toward the end of the golden long river where Chen Mobai stood.

[It’s not a cultivator, but a powerful Magic Artifact occupying this Saintly Virtue Great Dao.]

Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a little relieved.

If it’s a Magic Artifact, as long as it can be refined, there’s still the possibility of harmonization.

[What is this Magic Artifact?]

Chen Mobai asked again, and the Primordial Saint’s face showed reverence.

[It is the source of wisdom for this universe.]

[In the old days, the Dao Venerable opened the heavens and earth, resided within, enlightening the innate spirits, and guiding the path of immortality and transcendence.]

[Before attaining eternal enlightenment and departing, the Dao Venerable entrusted the Innate Saintly Virtue Great Dao there, responsible for educating the beings of this universe, also serving as the origin of cultivation for many dojos.]

The words of the Primordial Saint made Chen Mobai feel increasingly familiar as he listened.

[Senior, are you referring to the Purple Cloud Palace?]

[Indeed, I’m surprised you know of it too, it seems the Star Domain you originate from has also witnessed the descent of this Holy Hall.]

The Primordial Saint immediately guessed the reason upon hearing Chen Mobai’s words.

After all, ever since the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable transcended, the Purple Cloud Palace, upholding his will to educate all beings, constantly translocates and descends upon the star systems where postnatal spirits of this universe gather, teaching all without discrimination.

Quite a few True Immortal Dao Monarchs managed to progress in their cultivation step by step thanks to opportunities gained in the Purple Cloud Palace, eventually establishing their own arenas, gaining reverence as ancestors.

[Indeed, senior has great insight.]

Chen Mobai nodded, indicating he had been to the Purple Cloud Palace.

After arriving at the Xuanhu Dao Arena, he had also specifically learned about the matters concerning the Purple Cloud Palace, knowing that in various arenas, nearly everyone was aware of this place.

Nonetheless, due to the causal ties between the Purple Cloud Palace and many great abilities of this universe, top-ranked cultivators dare not ascend for fear of being misunderstood.

[The Purple Cloud Holy Hall upholds the Dao Venerable’s will, spreading the Dao to all beings, unlocking wisdom, and lighting the fire of civilization across the universe.]

With civilization, everything can be orderly, without chaos.

It can also prevent the arrival of the end of destiny.

Hearing this, Chen Mobai vaguely understood why he received the answer of masterless saintly virtue in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Afterwards, he continued talking with the Primordial Saint about many things, the latter holding nothing back, revealing all he knew, displaying noble character to the fullest.

At this point, Chen Mobai also understood why the Primordial Saint said those words upon first meeting him.

Because in the Primordial Saint’s view, the Saintly Virtue Great Dao has a master, Chen Mobai having entered it, in the absence of Dao harmonization, could at most have a lifespan of ten thousand years of Cultivating Void.

As for Chen Mobai refining the Purple Cloud Palace, the Primordial Saint simply never considered the possibility.

That is, after all, the residence of the Dao Venerable, even if Chen Mobai had the capability, the disciples of the Dao Venerable would not consent.

[Thank you, senior, should there be an opportunity one day, I shall visit personally to express my gratitude for enlightening me today.]

Chen Mobai’s words made the Primordial Saint gently nod.

Cultivators related to the Saintly Virtue Great Dao are all eager to impart wisdom.

[If you have the time, little friend, you may come to the Phoenix Palace to find me, my true body is sealed there by the Demon Lord.]

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai shuddered slightly, almost unable to maintain this Divine Splitting.

[Senior is also sealed by the Demon Lord?]

[Also? Are there other fellow Daoists? The last time the Demon Lord emerged, because my harmonized Dao might refine the Purple Cloud Palace, one of the Seventy-Two Forms, the Thunder Swamp Great Demon found me, and after struggling to hold on for a hundred years, I was thrust into a perilous place, sealed till now.]

Hearing this, Chen Mobai became even more worried.

Saintly Virtue opposes the end of destiny, and having now entered the Saintly Virtue Great Dao Cultivating Void, he presumed that when the Demon Lord emerges in the future, he would be the first target to be killed.

[I have a wife who received the Immortal Sword Sect legacy of Wangji Daojun from the White Crane Dao Arena...]

Chen Mobai mentioned Wangji Daojun also sealed by the Demon Lord, and Bai Guang, using the Immortal Sect Sword Art for Cultivating Void, could be considered a direct disciple of Wangji Daojun.

He didn’t mention his relationship with Wangji Daojun because he had previously claimed to have a humble origin, and now that Chen Mobai knew the vastness of the heavens and earth, he dared not casually claim to be a disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace.

[Unexpectedly, there is another fellow Daoist with the same fate as mine.] The Primordial Saint sighed with emotion upon hearing this.

[Throughout these years, has senior never thought of breaking the seal?] Chen Mobai asked, hoping that if there was a way, he could rescue Wangji Daojun in the future.

[Difficult, as the Demon Lord, being the Demon Supreme, already exists at the peak of Tier Eight, even if his demon path avatar takes action, it contains the true intent of the end of destiny, and to break the seal, at the very least one needs Eighth Rank Pure Yang to have hope.]

The Primordial Saint shook his head and sighed.

Great Power of Pure Yang is exceedingly rare in the Purple Cloud Universe; although the Primordial Saint is a Seventh Rank True Immortal, he does not have deep connections with such beings.

Chen Mobai thought of Wangji Daojun being a disciple of the Purple Cloud Palace, sealed for so long, yet no Pure Yang had come to rescue her; could it be she had poor relationships?

[Senior, if I manage to achieve Pure Yang in the future, I will attempt to come to the Phoenix Palace to rescue you.]

The Primordial Saint, hearing these words, couldn’t help but laugh heartily, nodding, but it was evident he didn’t take it seriously.

After bidding farewell to Chen Mobai, he no longer flowed against the current, but along the golden river of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, returned to his Primordial Spirit.

While the Divine Splitting flowing downwards finally reached the end.

The turbulent river persistently surged ahead.

Amidst the golden spray of water, the familiar, humble palace came into view. Like an island resting in the middle of the stream, as the Saintly Virtue River flowed past, transforming into an infinite and immense light of wisdom, dispersing like a meteor shower throughout the universe. On every planet where a beam of Saintly Virtue Light descended, it became a spark of civilization, unlocking the wisdom of life, leading them from ignorance into order.
