Chapter 519: Seeing the True Spirit in Breakthrough_1
"Sister NanFeng broke through to the True God level?"
"That's amazing... What kind of drink is this?"
"No, I must hurry and try it too!"
For a moment, a group of disciples began to hurriedly try it out.
"...So chaotic, so chaotic..."
Zi Ling was already tipsy, her large eyes somewhat hazy, feeling like the scenes before her eyes were a mix of disordered light and shadows.
"I must be seeing things... Why do Second Elder and Uncle Zhang... all seem to be enveloped in white mist, with light radiating..."
She rubbed her eyes, feeling as if everything before her had become unreal, with too much light and fog surging around...
Looking at her fellow disciples, she felt as if they had all become strangers.
Dugu Yuqing seemed like a lonely swordsman from ancient times, waging wars for three thousand years, his sword standing above the Myriad Realms...
Sister NanFeng was like an ascetic immortal, sitting outside the nine heavens, her zither sounds cleansing the universe...
Wu Dade had turned into an indestructible mountain from ancient times, standing before a thousand calamities, his physical body blocking the disasters...
"Am I seeing falsehood, or am I seeing truth..."
"What is false, and what is true..."
Zi Ling was confused, and she suddenly looked towards her master.
In the midst of thousands of overlapping lights and shadows, she saw Li Fan was still like a mortal, with a smile on his lips, as if there were never any changes. The whole village, everyone, seemed like the light and shadows revolving around him, as if they didn't really exist.
"As long as the master is here, reality is here."
At the corner of her lips, a hint of genuine happiness suddenly appeared, and it seemed as if stars twinkled in her eyes. She picked up a brush, wishing to portray her respected master.
As her brush touched down, no ink mark could be seen; wherever the brush went, the Xuan paper evaporated.
Yet, she was completely unaware, because in her heart, the painting was already complete.
With a sweet smile on her lips, she fell asleep, emitting an aura of a True God.
But within her Dantian, no True Spirit had condensed.
It was just empty.
…
"This drink... contains mysterious substances that can lead to enlightenment!"
Long Zixuan guzzled down a bowl, and at that moment, the drink turned into a Divine Dragon, roaming within his body.
He saw his past self, once a prince of a small Imperial Dynasty in the Netherworld Xuantian Realm, oppressed, yet having journeyed all the way here... He saw his own unyielding determination!
"The strong never yield, the dragon knows no bounds... In this life, I, Long Zixuan, shall command the dragon and battle the nine heavens!"
His battle intent coalesced, and at that moment, his Booming Dragon Decision advanced a step further, while within his Dantian, a True Spirit soared on a dragon!
True God!
"Am I really drunk... Why do I feel like you've died and come back to life again and again, as if I've passed through thousands of lifetimes..."
Lu Rang held a pot of grass, his eyes bleary with drunkenness. He felt as if he could see the grass in his hands thriving and perishing for hundreds of eons, death and rebirth alternating, and even, once undergoing nirvana amidst grey mist...
"Is it normal for life and death to cycle... you've lived from the ends of boundless time and space, to the Yin Realm, to this world?" Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire
Muttering nonsensically, he embraced the grass and fell into a deep sleep. Yet, within his Dantian, a tuft of grass quietly went through untold cycles...
"But ask my heart, amidst the rise and fall of a Sword Master... with one sword, I open the heavens and earth!"
Dugu Yuqing watched swords by the dim light while drunk, his mind seemingly traveling back to the strange and chaotic Calamity Era. There was a sword that once opened the heavens, a sword that swept away all evils...
Never forgotten!
An inexplicable sword intent emanated from the heart, and his Sword Dao reached an even higher level.
A supreme divine sword, floating within his Dantian!
"The Vermilion Bird Sword... although it has shattered, it forever resides in my heart!"
He murmured, at this moment, he came to realize many things.
...
"Killing intent... Why does my heart harbor killing intent?"
Qing Chen was questioning his heart, this moment, the alcohol evoked old shadows of his past, he saw a monk in white, like a Shura walking out of hell, bloodied, and behind him, endless Brahma Sacred Mountains became barren bones, countless divine entities were destroyed…
"Am I a Brahma Cultivator, or... a Brahma Destroyer?"
At this moment, Qing Chen suddenly felt lost, had the former him really eradicated all Brahmas in the world?
No... why...
"...No, that's not right, my cultivation is not of Brahma..."
"It is compassion, it is salvation, it is beyond... If Brahma exists there, I can cultivate Brahma, if Brahma does not exist, I shall... destroy Brahma!"
"I follow my Master's path!"
He found clarity and saw his true nature.
In his Dantian, as if an astonishing monk opened his eyes.
His eyes were filled with immense compassion, yet also overwhelming killing intent!
Qing Chen... affirmed his path as a Brahmin Master.
...
"Where am I..."
Drifting outside the realms, Jiang Li witnessed subjugation of the Myriad Realms, the vastness of the cosmos, the breadth of heaven and earth.
Yet, he found no branch to cling to, as if facing an ocean, swallowed by the feeling of his own insignificance.
"No... I dominate the path of chess, the vastness of heaven and earth... is but a chessboard!"
"Inhaling and exhaling the heaven and earth, the universe is my seed!"
He roared softly.
In his Dantian, a universe seed took shape, just like a chessboard.
...
"I'm itching to death!"
Wu Dade was itching all over, wielding a Melting Gold Tree like a Wolf Fang Club, hammering it upon himself stroke by stroke.
The Melting Gold Tree, hard beyond measure, smashed many of his bones!
However, he felt only exhilaration, and as those bones were crushed, new, even more perfect bones regrew under the influence of the alchohol.
"I understand now... Many of my bones were misshapen..."
Wu Dade muttered to himself as he hammered fiercely upon his own body!
Soon, an invisible golden light emanated from his body, and the fourth stage of the Nine Turns Golden Body was complete!
Affirmed his path as a True God.
On the other hand, Lin Jiu Zheng at this moment seemed petrified, foolishly staring at the book in his hands, flipping through it over and over again.
In this drunken state, he felt as if divinely assisted, instantly comprehending all the Heavenly Talismans in the book!
In his Dantian, an imprint quietly formed, that was a "敕" character, as if it condensed the power of endless talismans.
"Heavenly Talisman Divine Seal..."
Lin Jiu Zheng mumbled, this was the Heavenly Talisman Divine Seal, condensed into being, signifying that he could harness the forces of heaven and earth without the need for talismans, just by lifting his hand.
He had a feeling that he could snap his fingers and summon heavenly thunder!
In fact, his realm had soared, not only breaking through to the True God Realm but also nearing the Heavenly God!
The path of Heavenly Master was utterly unique, relying entirely on enlightenment!
"True Gods condense the Heavenly Talisman Divine Seal, but it is just the starting point of the Heavenly Talisman… according to the scriptures, to cultivate to perfection, one must engrave the patterns of the nine lands of creation…"
He now had a direction.
The Primitive Creation Scripture recorded that every terrain between heaven and earth is a natural "talisman," among which there were nine special terrains of creation. Each one gathered would propel the Heavenly Master's strength to new heights.
"I'm so hot..."
At this moment, his junior sister Su Baiqian felt a burning heat all over, sweating profusely and her face flushed red after drinking the water.
The potent force of the alcohol directly elevated her strength to the True God Realm.
In her Dantian, what had condensed was a True Spirit in the form of a Divine Medicine Seed, wrapped in the Xuanhuang Qi, shrouded in mystery.
…
Xinning and Gong Ya also stepped into the True God Realm!
In fact, living in that small courtyard, where daily consumption of air and dew was sacred, everyone's realm grew rapidly.
Since the last great battle, breaking through to the Wanderer God Realm in just a few short days, they had already reached the pinnacle of Wanderer God, now just one moment of enlightenment away from stepping over that threshold!
"A bowl of liquid, like a divine path baptism… no divine gift needed!"
Yun Yinchen held his bowl of liquor, visibly trembling!
One should know, to step into the True God Realm, even within the Divine Realm, a "divine gift" is required.
It needs a higher-order Divine Spirit to bestow divinity, to allow a Wanderer God to break through their own limitations.
To be able to do it without a divine gift… throughout the ancient and modern times, only those rare prodigies could, and such characters in legends always have significant backgrounds, favored by heaven and earth!
Now… all of Senior Li's disciples were like this!
He took a deep breath and solemnly sipped the liquor in his hands!
The liquor roared into his belly.
His essence soared violently.
At this moment, three thousand Great Dao appeared before him.
A myriad of paths… for the choosing!
He was stunned.
In the records, even when granted a divine gift, a Wanderer God would often only see one path, at most not more than three.
But now…
He could choose from three thousand Great Dao, the divine path all laid out before him!
"I need to become stronger… only thus can I fight in the Divine Realm again and reclaim everything!"
Yun Yinchen roared softly as he merged the three thousand Great Dao into one.
Under the impetus of the liquor, he gradually succeeded in condensing his own Dao.
In his Dantian, a True Spirit that exactly resembled him was seated, profound and mysterious.
"I've succeeded… to meld three thousand Great Dao?!"
Yun Yinchen was extremely excited.
This was something unheard of in the entire Divine Realm.
And now he had managed to do it...
At this moment, he couldn't help but look towards Li Fan, his eyes filled with reverence.
All this was a grace bestowed by Senior Li...
At the same time, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Nan Feng and the others... if by chance alone he could meld the three thousand Dao, what kind of heaven-defying Dao were the disciples of Senior Li practicing?!
Mu Wanqing and Yun Qianshan, too, benefited immensely with profound blessings!
…
Meanwhile, at this moment.
Outside the small mountain village.
A group of ghostly beings was waiting in silence.
"Master, why hasn't the Tooth-Pulling Monster come yet..."
Even the Starved Ghost was getting anxious.
He had made up his mind that this time he must get the Tooth-Pulling Monster to write a character for him!
Otherwise, it would be too great a loss, an absolute loss!
"Just wait."
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord was also full of anticipation, but still patiently said:
"Judging by this sound, the benefactors are probably feasting!"
Thinking about the Jiaolong Demon Race being treated as prey, even as a ghost, he felt it a bit preposterous...
Luckily he was a ghost. If he had been a member of the Demon Clan, maybe he wouldn't have faced the Tooth-Pulling Monster… he could have been eaten instead.
At this thought, he felt relieved.
"Huh?!"
"That's not right!"
Suddenly, he sharply turned his head to look beyond the Great Ruins Realm into the sky.
His ghostly eyes shone brightly, like two beams of starlight, directly seeing the scene outside the Great Ruins Realm.
An endless river of blood and overwhelming death energy was approaching the Great Ruins Realm.
And faintly, there was a mysterious aura of primordial origin...
"That's not right... how could there be such vast death energy in this universe?!"
The Dark Sky Ghost Lord's face became stern.
Such a level of death energy could only form in the Ghost Domain...
His heart sank instantly... sensing the whiff of a plot.
Someone was targeting him!
"If this death energy nears the Great Ruins Star Wheel… the entire Star Wheel will perish!"
A resolute light shot from the eyes of the Dark Sky Ghost Lord as he said:
"You wait here; I'll take a look outside!"
No sooner had he spoken than he disappeared from where he was.
He moved with extreme speed, appearing in space.
"Dark Sky stands here, if you want to target me, why commit such an act of annihilation, erasing billions of lives?!"
"Come, fight!"
He roared towards the raging river of blood!
