Chapter 410 Three Views of Wisdom
With Chen Beiwu fully prepared, Tie Dan and Xue Le's process of breaking through to the fourth realm of demon kings proceeded without any surprises, and they completed their transformation in just ten years.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
One True Lord, Three Demon Kings.
These four immense pressures merged together, enveloping all directions and making the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside Shuiyan Residence incredibly viscous.
Some of the Jade Purity Golden Core prodigies who had been drawn to the strange celestial phenomenon and gathered at Qingming Peak felt their bodies sink slightly, their breath catch in their throats, their golden cores trembled, and even standing was a bit difficult.
Seeing this, Yue Chenfeng, Su Muyu, Mo Chen, and Jiang Chuan, the four Nascent Soul True Monarchs, shook their heads slightly, seemingly showing some disdain for the younger generation of Qingming lineage's prodigies.
But when they looked at the cave dwelling, their gazes became solemn and serious.
In the Immortal Alliance, strength ultimately prevails.
Even if we consider seniority, the junior brother is of the same generation as them.
Although Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators may seem to differ by only one realm, their statuses are worlds apart.
Now that their junior brother has successfully attained the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, the last trace of their disdain has vanished without a trace.
And just as everyone was watching, the gate to the Shuiyanju cave slowly opened.
The first thing that caught the eyes of the cultivators was a majestic and imposing black dog that even Golden Core cultivators dared not look directly at.
Immediately, a tall figure, carrying a purple fox, bearing five elements on his shoulders, and riding a dragon, slowly stepped out.
It was Chen Beiwu, dressed in a simple white robe, who had successfully attained the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Chen, on attaining the Dao of True Lord! You have achieved great success in the path of immortality!"
"Congratulations, Uncle Chen!"
"I have met Chen Zhenjun."
After a brief silence, the True Lords of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, led by Senior Brother Yue Chenfeng, offered their congratulations.
The disciples of the Immortal Sect who were of lower seniority bowed and offered their congratulations in unison.
Seeing this scene, Chen Beiwu, a newly promoted True Monarch, naturally wouldn't be impolite in front of his many fellow disciples. He nodded slightly in greeting and exchanged pleasantries.
"Clang!"
Just then, the sound of metal and jade clanging together suddenly rang out.
The cultivators looked up and saw that the strange phenomenon in the sky that had not yet dissipated suddenly had a point of pure, indescribable golden light added to it.
Its color is pure and noble, and its quality is timeless and eternal!
Of all the cultivators present, only the Nascent Soul True Monarch could see through the golden light and perceive what was within it, but even then, his eyes stung, and he dared not look directly at it for too long.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
As the golden light descended, it instantly traversed space and landed three feet in front of Chen Beiwu. The Golden Core cultivators present were quite dismayed, their souls trembled, and their bodies instinctively sank to their knees.
At this moment, the scene was deathly silent. Even Yue Chenfeng, a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator, had his pupils shrink and was quite shocked.
The reason is simple: the golden light contains a scroll of decree, which resembles an imperial edict in form and the Dao in meaning. The vast energy contained within the decree alone is enough to suppress all the cultivators present.
A Golden Core prodigy, relying on the powerful treasures he possessed, barely managed to make out what was inside the golden light. He couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes wide with disbelief: "The Great... Great Luo Heavenly Decree?"
Although the murmur was barely perceptible, to the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present, those five words were like a thunderclap, suddenly exploding in their hearts.
Great Luo Heaven!!!
All the Jade Purity True Monarchs know that the Great Luo Heaven is the supreme Dao Realm where the Dao Venerable of the sect, Refining Emptiness, secludes himself to merge with the Dao and deduce the path to immortality. It is also the source of the Jade Purity Dao lineage, transcending the mundane world.
Now that the Great Luo Heaven's decree has been issued, it indicates that the will of the Dao Venerable has descended.
Upon thinking of this, everyone lowered their heads slightly, their eyes glancing at Chen Beiwu, who was the center of attention.
In ancient times, when a decree was issued by a Daoist master, the most basic etiquette for cultivators was to kneel and bow to receive it.
However, the Immortal Alliance no longer observes the custom of kneeling; bowing one's head is sufficient to show respect.
Even so, none of the cultivators present dared to utter a sound, for fear of disrespecting the Dao Venerable's decree.
Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered slightly as he saw the imperial edict unfold in the air, revealing its contents.
"Chen Beiwu, a disciple of Yuqing, has just completed his Dao foundation and is capable of great achievements."
"Now, I grant you this opportunity. With this decree, you may enter the Great Luo Heaven's Listening Cliff and listen to my teachings for three years."
Upon hearing the contents of the decree, the Golden Core prodigies present were able to remain calm, while some Nascent Soul True Monarchs who knew the details of the Great Luo Heaven were completely dumbfounded!
What's going on? Did they mishear?
Once one attains the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage, one can enter the sect's Dao Venerable's sight and enter the Great Luo Heaven to listen to the Dao Venerable's teachings.
Even if Chen Beiwu is the sect’s top disciple of this generation, this treatment is still too exaggerated!
Could the rumors be wrong, and Chen Beiwu not come from a declining family, but from some Daoist immortal clan?
Otherwise, this is simply unreasonable!
"Truly a marvel of creation!"
"No wonder, no wonder!"
Yue Chenfeng took a deep breath, looking at his junior brother with a hint of envy.
Within a prefecture or county of the Immortal Alliance, a Nascent Soul True Monarch is indeed a figure of immense power and revered status.
Especially now that Junior Brother enjoys the prestigious title of the youngest Nascent Soul True Monarch in the history of the Immortal Alliance.
But in the eyes of the sect's Dao Venerables, let alone a Nascent Soul True Monarch, even a Divine Transformation True Monarch is nothing special, let alone the title of the youngest Nascent Soul True Monarch in the Immortal Alliance.
To be frank, even a Nascent Soul True Venerable of a sect might not have the opportunity to listen to a Dao Venerable preach.
This demonstrates the immense power and transformative potential contained in the Daoist decrees.
This means that in the eyes of the sect's Daoist master, the junior brother has the potential to become a cultivation giant, or even to reach the Dao of Refining Emptiness.
Otherwise, how could the Great Luo Heaven possibly issue such a decree!
"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, a decree has been issued, and today Bei Wu must go to the Great Luo Heaven to receive instruction. I hope you will all understand," Chen Bei Wu said.
"Junior Brother Chen, you flatter us. The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be delayed. You should go quickly, Junior Brother. How could we not understand the situation?"
Upon hearing Yue Chenfeng's words, all the Nascent Soul True Monarchs present nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu no longer hesitated. He activated the decree with his divine sense, and his figure vanished instantly, leaving behind a group of Yuqing cultivators with complex expressions.
Great Luo Heaven, Listening to the Dao Cliff.
As the place where the Daoist Master of Refining Emptiness preaches, Listening Cliff hangs above the chaotic and boundless sea of mist in the Great Luo Heaven.
There are only nine meditation cushions on the cliff face, arranged in a nine-square grid pattern. Each cushion is grayish-white in color, made of a special material, and has a warm, smooth feel to the touch.
-
Chen Beiwu sat down on the futon and discovered that there was nothing empty ten feet in front of him; he could vaguely see the phantom of a towering divine tree reaching the sky.
The next instant, the chaotic sea of mist outside the Listening Cliff moved without wind, slowly parting to form a passage of radiant light.
"tread!"
"tread!"
"tread!"
Chen Beiwu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly walking towards the end of the passage.
But he couldn't see the faces clearly; he could only hear a series of sounds.
"My name is Guangcheng, and I will be speaking today."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chaotic sea of mist outside the Listening Cliff suddenly changed, evolving into the principles of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
Chen Beiwu and the golden eggs listened with rapt attention, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
I wonder what kind of fortune the Refining Void Daoist Master possesses?
After the sermon ended, the Daoist Master drifted away, and a thought suddenly arose in Chen Beiwu's mind.
At that very moment, Dao Zun paused, and the Nine Breaths Chaos within Chen Beiwu's body trembled.
"Hmm, interesting. There are things in this world that even I cannot see through."
"Young man, you cannot handle such a treasure of destiny. You might as well hand it over to me."
Before he finished speaking, Daoist Guangcheng slowly raised his right hand.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the entire Listening Cliff let out a mournful cry, overwhelmed by the burden.
The air currents within the chaotic fog suddenly converged and compressed, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and enveloped Chen Beiwu.
Oh no, we've been exposed!
Upon realizing that the spiritual barrier had failed, Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted, a chill ran through him, and a sense of despair arose within him.
Is this the Refining Void Daoist Venerable?
To avoid exposing his secrets, he proactively sealed away his memories of the Nine Breaths Chaos before entering the Great Luo Heaven, including the golden eggs.
Why did he have a fleeting thought about destiny even though he actively sealed his memories?
However, Chen Beiwu had no time to think further.
Faced with this colossal palm that could obliterate all laws and recreate chaos, no matter how he activated the Heavenly Gang True Qi within his body, he could not move. Even the Ten Directions Gate within the chaotic world fell into silence.
"roar!"
"Woof!"
"Hey!"
"Eek!"
Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Schiller, and Zhiling all paled, but were unable to move and powerless to stop it.
"Buzz!"
As the giant hand descended, an indescribable, terrifying sense of being stripped away instantly enveloped Chen Beiwu's entire body.
Under this irresistible force, Chen Beiwu felt his nascent soul, golden core, organs, bones, flesh and cells trembling, almost being forcibly extracted.
Only the Nine Breaths Chaos kept resisting, trying to use its immense power to activate the Gates of Ten Directions and help Chen Beiwu break through space to escape this place.
"It's a pity, I was originally going to spare your life."
A detached thought suddenly echoed in Chen Beiwu's mind, its tone neither sad nor happy: "Alas, this treasure is bound to your life, and its origin is already solidified. It seems this is the will of Heaven."
"Very well, I will take this treasure in accordance with the will of Heaven. If I ever get to see the realm of immortals, I will surely resurrect you, which will also settle this cause and effect today."
Hearing these hypocritical words, Chen Beiwu was suddenly overcome by inner demons.
hatred!hatred!hatred!
The higher-ups of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect are so dark and hypocritical that they even steal and kill their disciples' opportunities.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have joined Yuqing Sect back then; he should have joined another immortal sect instead.
No, no, no, even the Jade Purity Immortal Sect is like this, so other immortal sects and grotto-heavens are probably no different.
If he could do it all over again, his correct course of action would be to lie low for hundreds of years, conceal his talents, and then become a True Lord of the Dao. That way, he might not be noticed by the Dao Venerable.
"Boom!" Flesh and blood exploded and were obliterated.
Before Chen Beiwu died, the blood and remains of Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling were scattered on his face and disappeared with him into the Great Luo Heaven.
Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
Inside the Shuiyanju Cave.
"Um!"
On the Jade Purity Myriad Transformations Lotus Platform, Chen Beiwu groaned and opened his eyes.
What a powerful inner demon tribulation!
It's hard to say whether he was lucky or unlucky, but he actually encountered a double inner demon tribulation that happens only once in a hundred years.
If he hadn't broken through his inner demons before his death, regained a sliver of clarity, and hadn't lost himself in despair and regret, he might have had to use the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon to form his Nascent Soul.
"Are you alright?"
Seeing that Chen Beiwu's energy was unstable, the four little ones looked concerned and communicated through the shared contract.
"It's alright, this little devil can't do anything to me."
Chen Beiwu held his breath and concentrated, circulating the Heavenly One Northern Sea Myriad Forms Dao Record.
His claim that he has a 95% chance of becoming a True Monarch is not just arrogance.
The "Tianyi Beiming Wanxiang Daolu" is a secret method passed down by the sect's Hunyuan Dao artifact, divided into the "Heart Demon Chapter", the "Wanxiang Chapter", and the "Return to Truth Chapter".
Without needing to use the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon, Chen Beiwu could slowly annihilate the Daoist Heart Demon born from his spiritual platform by using the Heart Demon Chapter to overcome the tribulation.
However, the difficulty of expelling the double inner demon tribulation still exceeded Chen Beiwu's expectations.
"Settle on the true nature of reality, and dispel all demonic obstacles!"
Chen Beiwu's mind stirred, and he used the Jade Purity Myriad Transformations Lotus Platform without hesitation.
Cultivators are not allowed to consume external substances when undergoing the tribulation of inner demons, but auxiliary spiritual artifacts such as the Jade Pure Lotus Platform, which can calm the mind, soothe the nerves, and cleanse the mind of demons, are an exception.
"Buzz!"
The lotus platform beneath Chen Beiwu trembled, and a purifying azure light surged into his Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness.
Unexpectedly, the azure light did not protect the spiritual platform in the next instant, but instead concealed a killing intent and fiercely pierced into Chen Beiwu's nascent soul in his sea of consciousness.
Chen Beiwu's expression changed slightly. He tried to stop the process by gathering the spiritual senses of the four little guys, including Jin Dan, but he was a step too late and could only watch helplessly as the Nascent Soul, which was about to be fully refined, completely collapsed.
"Nephew Chen, I'm sorry, but that being from the Xiao family has already issued a decree, and there's nothing I can do about it. You should go now."
The sect leader's voice slowly rang out: "If you have someone to blame, blame your humble origins and the fact that you are not a direct descendant of the Jade Purity Sect. The Dongming Evergreen lineage does not have a Refining Void Daoist Venerable to protect you."
"roar!"
"Woof!"
"Hey!"
"Eek!"
Before he fell, the voices of Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling suddenly rang out, allowing Chen Beiwu's spiritual platform to maintain a sliver of clarity.
"Ahem!"
Chen Beiwu coughed twice, blood flowing from his mouth and nose, and the nascent soul within his sea of consciousness became somewhat unstable.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Four figures flashed.
The golden eggs landed in front of Chen Beiwu, their eyes filled with worry.
Something's not right, something's very, very wrong!
Logically speaking, with the Jade Pure Myriad Transformations Lotus Platform protecting the mind, the power of the inner demon tribulation encountered by the master should be reduced to less than 60%, and he could easily overcome it, instead of having to overcome it so difficultly.
"It's alright, I'm lucky to have encountered the one-in-a-million triple inner demon tribulation!" Chen Beiwu reassured him with his mind.
The Tribulations of the Threefold Inner Demons are not simply a superposition of inner demon illusions; their power is extremely formidable. They generally only appear on cultivators who have committed enormous acts of slaughter, but there is also a very small probability that they will appear on those destined for greatness.
Chen Beiwu possesses the Nine Breaths of Chaos, so he can naturally be considered a chosen one.
"Don't worry, this little devil can't stop me."
Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, without activating the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon within the chaotic world.
With the protection of the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon, he is confident that he can overcome even the most severe tribulations of inner demons, which are rare and rare.
The reason Chen Beiwu did not use the Heavenly Fortune Purple Dragon was to temper his heart with the Heart Demon Tribulation.
All forms are not forms; suffering and joy arise from the mind. If the mind does not dwell on forms, what suffering is there?
The Great Way is nameless, its virtue is in harmony with nature, life and death are one, and its true nature is eternal!
Once the three barriers are broken, true nature is fully revealed!
Recalling the various inner demons he had previously overcome, Chen Beiwu's aura changed, and a calm and clear expression appeared on his face.
The nascent soul deep within the Purple Mansion's sea of consciousness was also completely cleansed, and a pure and unblemished three-colored halo quietly appeared behind the head.
This halo is the Three Realms of Wisdom Light that a cultivator can attain only after breaking through the three inner demons and achieving complete perfection of their Dao Seed and Nascent Soul.
Thus, Chen Beiwu has successfully completed the third step of becoming a True Monarch, namely, "Refining Truth and Returning to Origin," and "Refining Demons to Become True!"
The Three Realms Wisdom Light is different from the Lapis Lazuli Wisdom Light. It is not the light of enlightenment that arises when the nascent soul awakens with perfect form and spirit, but rather a further step, a wisdom light that can illuminate the three realms.
What are the three scenes?
External scenery is like the universe, internal scenery is like patterns, and true scenery is like traces.
Ancient texts of the Immortal Alliance state: "The True Lord manifests three scenes on his head, illuminating both the inner and outer realms. The Heavenly Gang receives this wisdom and light, combining the numbers of the three scenes, thus increasing his majesty threefold."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple: with the blessing of the Three Wisdoms and Light, the power of the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form can be increased threefold.
Don't underestimate three times the amount.
The Heavenly Gang Dharma Form is the symbolic and profound power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Its power can suppress 90% of the Immortal Alliance cultivators if it is increased by 30%, let alone if it is increased by 3 times.
Otherwise, Chen Beiwu wouldn't have said that he was lucky to have encountered three tribulations of inner demons.
With this thought in mind, Chen Beiwu's nascent soul shone brightly in his sea of consciousness, and with one burst of energy, he began to break through to the fourth step of the True Monarch!
