Chapter 893 - 620: Taiyin Dao Seed

Heaven and Earth Sword Mountain, shrouded in mist, Dao Rhyme roared.

On one peak, the mountain was lustrous white like moonlight, enveloped in the rich Dao Rhyme of Taiyin.

There were many similar peaks, all formed by the derivation of Innate Daoist Swords!

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged, eyes gently closed, around him the Dao Rhyme of Taiyin resonating perfectly with the mountain’s Sword Rhyme, as if merging with heaven and earth, quietly comprehending the Great Dao of Taiyin.

This place was not his to enjoy alone!

Within the mountains, many Daoist Monarchs cultivating the Dao of Taiyin built huts and resided here, either sitting quietly to seek enlightenment or gathering in threes and fives to quietly discuss the Dao.

Chen Sheng’s heart spirit sank into the world within his body—the Guanghan Realm.

At this moment, the Guanghan Realm had already entered the third step of world evolution—the Destructive Tribulation Realm.

Within the realm, heaven and earth surged, calamity aura obscured all between heaven and earth, dark clouds pressing down.

The Power of Origin of Taiyin collided with the aura of tribulation, producing a low rumble, every inch of space trembling within the calamity aura, seemingly ready to break apart at any time.

Though in his previous life Chen Sheng did not cultivate the Dao of Taiyin, his realm and Dao practice were genuine, and his cultivation experience far surpassed those of the same realm.

With such a profound foundation, even switching to another path of cultivation still gave him a decisive advantage—he did not need to slowly explore the mysteries of Destructive Tribulation like ordinary cultivators.

Just by using the experience of his previous life as a foundation, he could easily discern the core of this step, dissecting the changes within the laws.

Chen Sheng’s will wandered above the Guanghan Realm, whispering softly:

"Three disasters of Destructive Tribulation, first destroy illusion, sweep away dust, all annihilated..."

"Void Tribulation, grand obscurity, hides all dharma in emptiness, nurtures chaos in a breath..."

As the words fell, deep within the Guanghan Realm, an icy and translucent Taiyin Dharma Seed suddenly burst out with dazzling brilliance.

Buzz—

Moonlight like tide surged out from the Dharma Seed, instantaneously sweeping across the entire Guanghan Realm, merging with the aura of tribulation, circulating between heaven and earth.

The tribulation aura in the Guanghan Realm seemed to be tamed, no longer violent, but rather slowly merged into the Dharma Seed, becoming the force nurturing it and driving the accumulation of Destructive Tribulation.

"Still not fast enough!"

Chen Sheng’s will moved slightly, the Zixiao Yuan Qi entered his body, the light of the Taiyin Dharma Seed grew ever more intense, and the pace of accumulating Destructive Tribulation rose yet another level.

...

Time flew by, just twenty thousand years.

Clang—

A clear Dao sound emitted from within Chen Sheng’s body.

Within the Guanghan Realm, the tribulation aura dissipated, the world clear, the Guanghan Realm successfully passed the Destructive Tribulation, completing its transformation.

The aura around Chen Sheng suddenly surged, smoothly ascending to the fourth step of Integration!

All around the mountain, Daoist Monarchs who were seeking enlightenment or discussing Dao sensed something, their gazes turning towards Chen Sheng at the foot of the mountain.

A Daoist Monarch clad in icy-colored immortal robes looked at the meditating Chen Sheng at the foot of the mountain and nodded gently:

"So fast to comprehend the changes of Destructive Tribulation, passed through, ascended to the fourth step of Integration, truly great perception!"

Not far away, a Daoist Monarch in blue robes standing stroking his beard said:

"Naturally great perception!"

"Otherwise, with his cultivation at Integration, how could he be here at Heaven and Earth Sword Mountain seeking enlightenment alongside us Daoist Monarchs?"

The words had just fallen when a red-faced Daoist Monarch picked up the thread:

"In my view, within ten Primordial Assemblies, this child should ascend to Daoist Monarch, shall we wager?"

A hearty voice rang out, a white-robed elderly Daoist Monarch clapping his hands and laughing:

"Ten assemblies are too long! I wager five assemblies!"

"Five assemblies? You are bold!"

Nearby, a Daoist Monarch in a Profound Daoist Robe raised his brows slightly, his tone carrying some disdain.

"That year, the one from the Immortal Spirit Tribe, it also took four assemblies to go from the fourth step of Integration to Daoist Monarch, this child has no special constitution, how could he match up?"

The white-robed elderly Daoist Monarch retorted:

"That one from the Immortal Spirit Tribe, wasn’t it the same for him, entering early as a Named Disciple of the Immortal Mountain, enjoying the same treatment?"

The Profound Daoist Robe Daoist Monarch sneered, his tone carrying a bit of sobriety:

"Hmm, many have entered early as Named Disciples throughout history."

"But in the end, how many can go as smoothly as that one from the Immortal Spirit Tribe, breaking through to Daoist Monarch and reaching the Mahayana Loose Immortal realm?"

The Daoist Monarchs each held their views, their heated discussions rising and falling, either persisting in their opinions or debating with one another.

And at the foot of the mountain, Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, moonlight flowing in his pupils, the magnificent Dao Rhyme that just ascended completely restrained, his expression still calm and undisturbed.

His heart spirit sank into his body, feeling the emptiness of the Guanghan Realm.

"Void silent, all sounds return to nothing, dust does not exist, causation ends... Destructive Tribulation concluded equals emptiness!"

Chen Sheng quietly thought to himself:

"Twenty thousand years, smoothly ascending to the fourth step of Integration, still considered smooth!"

"Next, it’s comprehending the Taiyin Dao Seed, paving the way for breaking through to Daoist Monarch."

In his past life, he was limited by talent, stuck at this step for a long time, ultimately relying on exchanging for Treasure of Enlightenment, temporarily stimulating his own potential to barely forge the Dao Seed.

But now, his talent surpassed that of his previous life, able to break through without external aids.

Furthermore, he had the added insights and cultivation experience of his past life’s ’Daoist Monarch San Shuai’.

With such advantageous conditions, even he was somewhat curious about how long it would actually take him to successfully forge the Dao Seed and ascend to Daoist Monarch.

A fleeting thought passed, Chen Sheng closed his eyes once more, his heart spirit fully immersed in the comprehension of the Innate Taiyin.

...

Time slipped by quietly, three Primordial Assemblies passed in the drifting Dao Rhyme and cultivation of enlightenment.

On this day, within Heaven and Earth Sword Mountain, there was a sudden movement, breaking the tranquility of the past!

Buzz—

A vast and unmatched power of Taiyin origin erupted from the mountain, like moonlight piercing the sky, casting down a sky full of clear brilliance.

Then, anomalies arose abruptly—

The heavenly moonlight frantically converged, transforming atop the Sword Mountain into a giant Taiyin Lotus Platform, layers upon layers.

As the lotus petals flew, countless Taiyin runes flowed, dancing as if alive.

At the center of the Lotus Platform, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged, his Profound Immortal Robe hanging down, his sleeves lightly fluttering, eyes gently closed, his expression solemn, at the center of his brow, an icy and translucent Dharma Seed was slowly being forged.

That was the Innate Taiyin Dao Seed!

The entire Dharma Seed gleamed white, intertwined with faint purplish glow, its Dao Pattern like a galaxy flowing, radiating endless power of Taiyin origin.

With every bit forged, the moonlight between heaven and earth grew richer, the brilliance of the Lotus Platform intensified, and the anomaly became more astonishing.

Such a shocking anomaly instantly attracted many Daoist Monarchs.

The eyes of the Daoist Monarchs were full of incredulous surprise, and discussions instantly arose.

"Three Primordial Assemblies! Three Primordial Assemblies!"

"Unexpectedly, we all guessed wrong before! Could forge the Innate Taiyin Dao Seed so quickly!"

"So astounding!"

"Three Primordial Assemblies, from the fourth step of Integration to forging the Dao Seed, this speed, surpasses even that heavenly chosen from the Immortal Spirit Tribe!"

"Great perception, great talent!"

An elder Daoist Monarch spoke, eyes full of awe:

"With Fellow Daoist Zhang’s perception and foundation, he surely will achieve the realm of Loose Immortal someday!"

...

At this moment, atop Sword Mountain.

Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes, moonlight surged in them and was instantly restrained.

A slight movement of his fingers, a lustrous White Jade Order quietly appeared, it was the token of the Named Disciple of Immortal Mountain.

On the Order, Dao Patterns flowed, the original privilege markings subtly changed, a surge of new information flooded into his sea of consciousness.

Besides being able to seek enlightenment at Heaven and Earth Sword Mountain, he was again granted access to several treasure lands of the Immortal Mountain, all secret realms that ordinary Named Disciples could hardly reach.

Chen Sheng thought to himself:

"Indeed! As long as you show enough talent and potential, you can reap the benefits of Immortal Mountain!"

"In my previous life, after I ascended to Daoist Monarch, I did not enjoy such treatment!"

"It appears, the ’genius script’ of this life is indeed different, the opportunities I can seize far surpass those of my previous life."
