Chen Mobai meets the Primordial Saint, a Seventh Rank True Immortal. The Saint reveals that the Saintly Virtue Great Dao is not unclaimed but occupied by the Purple Cloud Palace, the source of universal wisdom. He also mentions that he, along with Wangji Daojun, is sealed by the Demon Lord, and escaping requires an Eighth Rank Pure Yang cultivator.

The Purple Cloud Palace at the end of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao is entirely gray-blue, with wing-like eaves, devoid of carved beams and painted rafters, nor surrounded by spiritual light, looking quite ordinary, yet possessing an awe-inspiring, timeless aura.

Compared to the Purple Cloud Palace Chen Mobai had seen before, the only difference is the absence of the Three Thousand Great Dao steps and platform.

His Divine Splitting quickly arrived before the palace, and this Saintly Virtue Treasure, upholding the will of the Dao Venerable, stood silently amidst golden waves.

Chen Mobai attempted to approach, and the palace gate suddenly lit up with layers of restrictions.

Faced with this situation, Chen Mobai’s heart and mind were suddenly illuminated, and he performed the Green Lotus Seal taught to him within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Sure enough, once the Seal Formula was executed, countless restrictions melted away like snow.

With a rumbling sound, the palace gate opened, revealing numerous meditation cushions inside.

Seeing these familiar scenes, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, yet soon, when his gaze fell upon the Green Lotus Stone Platform at the innermost part, his body tightened and his eyes were filled with shock.

Because now, standing to the left of the once empty Green Lotus Stone Platform, was a black-haired, purple-eyed youth.

The youth’s countenance was veiled in chaotic qi, faintly discernible, but a golden glimmer at his brow shone like the great sun, dazzling and radiant.

[Disciple Chen Mobai, pays respect to Master.]

Encountering such a situation, Chen Mobai did not hesitate, and bowed in reverence.

After all, this is the Purple Cloud Palace—it’s impossible for it to be haunted. The one waiting for him within this Saintly Virtue Treasure is most likely the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable.

The black-haired, purple-eyed youth was also somewhat bewildered by Chen Mobai’s gesture, and after hesitating several times, he waved his hand to summon Saintly Virtue Pure Light and lifted Chen Mobai up: [No need for excessive courtesy, I am not the master.]

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was relieved as he rose with the force.

Since he referred to the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable as the master, it was clear that he was under the tutelage of the teacher, likely the Artifact Spirit of the Purple Cloud Palace.

At this moment, the youth spoke again, continuing:

[Before the master left, he left me within this universe, to oversee Saintly Virtue, enlightening all beings.]

[When Senior Sister Tianhai attained the Ninth Rank Creation, it signified that this universe had evolved completely, the seeds of civilization had been sown; even without my teachings across the heavens, life will thrive endlessly.]

[I wish to leave this universe, to venture into the Chaos Sea in search of the master. However, before that, I need to cultivate into Creation, so I need to break free from the constraints of this Saintly Virtue Treasure, reincarnate, and be reborn.]

[However, every Seventh Rank True Immortal who could refine me has been suppressed by the Demon Lord, unable to manifest, so until now, I have not found a suitable artifact owner.]

[Not long ago, you entered the Purple Cloud Palace, and now that you have set foot on the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, it’s only fitting that I entrust this place to you.]

Chen Mobai’s guess was correct, this youth was indeed the Artifact Spirit of the Purple Cloud Palace. After he finished speaking, he pointed a finger at Chen Mobai’s brow, and a golden glimmer swiftly penetrated within.

In an instant, the entire Purple Cloud Palace burst into light.

Chen Mobai felt the Saintly Virtue River outside the palace suddenly roll backwards, crashing against the outer walls of the palace, and instantly countless golden Dao Patterns emerged from the four walls within, transforming into Chapters of the Saintly Virtue Heavenly Book and entering his Primordial Spirit.

Upon them were various scenes of enlightenment, from early humans recording events through knotting strings, to saints casting cannons and inscribing texts, and even the transmission of civilization’s fire seeds between stellar civilizations, showcasing the grand tapestry of conquering the cosmic starry sky.

All these were documented by the Purple Cloud Palace when it spread Saintly Virtue throughout the universe.

Soon, all the scenery of this golden river was clearly reflected within Chen Mobai’s Primordial Spirit.

The Purple Cloud Palace stood at the end of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, and after the river passed through the palace, it transformed into billions of starlight, falling like a meteor shower all over the universe.

These starlights became numerous Purple Cloud Palaces, persistently spreading the teachings.

The Purple Cloud Palace that descended upon the Earth Element Star was one among them.

However, as an Innate Treasure, all Purple Cloud Palaces are one entity, so everything Chen Mobai did within the palace was observed by the Artifact Spirit.

Seeing all these, Chen Mobai broke out in cold sweat, as it meant Turtle Treasure had long been exposed.

But since the Artifact Spirit of the Purple Cloud Palace did not pursue the matter, he wisely chose not to mention it, and began to plead: [Thank you, senior, for imparting the teachings, but my cultivation level is still shallow; once you reincarnate, I fear I won’t be able to protect this master’s treasure of spreading the teachings.]

Chen Mobai, though eager to immediately possess this Innate Treasure of the Purple Cloud Palace, without the Artifact Spirit overseeing it, with his cultivation level, holding onto it would be like a child holding gold in a bustling marketplace, potentially robbed by a Seventh Rank Dao Monarch with ill intentions.

He had witnessed the Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler in action within the Tianhe Realm; as long as there was an Artifact Spirit present, it could at least wield Seventh Rank power. With the protection of the Purple Cloud Palace, he need not fear any ordinary True Immortal Dao Monarch in the future.

[You possess the Green Lotus Seal; once I reincarnate, you’ll truly be able to refine the Purple Cloud Palace, at any time instuting the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, detached from all laws. Even if confronted by a True Immortal Dao Monarch, they could only suppress and seal you; you need not worry.]

The Artifact Spirit of the Purple Cloud Palace reassured Chen Mobai not to worry about life and death.

"I haven’t achieved Harmonization yet, my lifespan is limited, and if I were to be sealed and die of old age, it would be a betrayal of your expectations, respected senior," Chen Mobai pleaded arduously.

"If you die of old age without achieving Harmonization, it shows you are unworthy of mastering the Purple Cloud Palace. After I reincarnate, I shall reclaim it," said the Artifact Spirit bluntly, staring with wide eyes, leaving Chen Mobai speechless.

"There is still the Demon Lord out there, watching closely. If this being arises again, it would surely target your reincarnated body first," Chen Mobai quickly added.

But the Artifact Spirit, unconcerned about this, said, "I will reincarnate in the Central Dojo, and with Brother Taixu protecting me, the Demon Lord won’t dare seek me."

This rendered Chen Mobai speechless.

After all, the last time the Demon Lord emerged, it was suppressed by Taixu Ancestor.

Artifact Spirit: "Do you have any other questions?"

Chen Mobai was full of doubts, especially regarding the Turtle Treasure Transmission, uncertain of the Artifact Spirit’s view.

"If not, I shall reincarnate," seeing Chen Mobai hesitant to speak, the Artifact Spirit’s body began to glow with Saintly Virtue Pure Light, transforming into tiny streams of golden light, ready to disperse.

"Senior, am I a disciple of the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable?"

Chen Mobai, witnessing this, could no longer hold back and wanted to confirm his status.

"Since the Master has imparted to you the Pure Yang Scroll, you are naturally his disciple." The Artifact Spirit frowned, finding Chen Mobai’s question peculiar.

"How do you know my teacher imparted the Pure Yang Scroll to me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was shocked, as he had sneaked into the Purple Cloud Palace utilizing the Azure Bird Dharma Aspect of the Dan Cauldron; the fact of being taught by the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable was something he hadn’t informed anyone about.

"The Purple Cloud Palace spans ancient, present, and future times. It reveals scenes from past time which I also discern," said the Artifact Spirit, leaving Chen Mobai stupefied.

Although aware of the Dao Venerable’s miraculous abilities, capable of eternal transcendence, altering past history was beyond his imagination.

"But you shouldn’t be too complacent. The Master spreads the teachings through the worlds, educating countless beings, his disciples numbering countless. Only those achieving Harmonization and eternal life truly enter the gate and may call me senior brother. You have the opportunity of Saintly Virtue, but if you fail to achieve Harmonization before my reincarnated body matures, I will not hesitate to reclaim the Purple Cloud Palace."

The words of the Artifact Spirit filled Chen Mobai with an overwhelming sense of urgency.

He thought it unlikely to succeed in competing for the Great Dao against the Saintly Virtue Treasure Artifact Spirit.

"Senior, regarding reincarnated cultivation, how long will it take to achieve Harmonization?" Chen Mobai wanted a rough timeline to set his cultivation goal.

"That’s hard to say. If any unexpected threat to my life occurs during reincarnation, I’ll have to abandon the attempt and summon the power of the Purple Cloud Palace to protect myself. Being the Master of the Saintly Virtue Great Dao, even during reincarnation, I can achieve Harmonization with Saintly Virtue anytime."

"However, such a scenario is nearly impossible, given Brother Taixu protects me. For you, the good news is that once I grow, Saintly Virtue won’t be my first choice for a Great Dao path."

"Because the End of Destiny is occupied by the Demon Lord, although Saintly Virtue can resist other Innate Great Daos, only opposing the End of Destiny allows forging the three thousand Great Daos and attaining the Ninth Rank Creation."

"The Demon Lord is obstructed by Saintly Virtue, thus can never achieve the ’Primordial’ realm."

Hearing this from the Artifact Spirit, Chen Mobai felt relieved but quickly was overwhelmed by new doubts, "In this universe, most Innate Great Daos are already claimed by senior brothers and sisters, few are left. Senior, which two Great Daos do you intend to choose?"

"You needn’t worry about that. After Senior Sister Tianhai achieved Ninth Rank Creation, other senior brothers aimed to emulate her, leaving the Purple Cloud Universe to establish new universes in the Chaos Sea. Hence, their Innate Great Daos lie vacant, but to avoid disorder, Brother Taixu conceals them, although nothing escapes me."

The casual remarks from the Artifact Spirit shocked Chen Mobai profoundly.

This was likely the deepest secret within the Purple Cloud Universe.

Little wonder none of the Pure Yang Great Powers appeared when the Demon Lord emerged, save Taixu Ancestor.

They were gone.

"Can the senior brothers and sisters return?" Chen Mobai inquired again.

"I don’t know," the Artifact Spirit shook his head but then thought of something and sighed, "Previously, when Sister Gui Ling failed in achieving Ninth Rank Creation and fell, even Senior Sister Tianhai did not return, suggesting it’s hard for them to come back."

Hearing this, Chen Mobai’s eyes widened further.

Millennia ago, the Mystic Palace’s annihilation caused Gui Ling Saint Ancestor and the present Great Powers of the Purple Cloud Universe to vanish simultaneously.

It turned out they failed the Creation trial.
