Chapter 749: Spirit Seizure, Flying Star Sect. Mirage Dragon Awakens, Heavenly Cavern Opens

On the Heaven Earth Peak, a hazy ethereal figure loomed like an umbrella, shielding the sky.

Any cultivator with knowledge would recognize what it was.

Yuanshen!

In the Qi Cultivation Path, the pursuit of longevity is the eternal life of the spirit.

Therefore, through refining essence into Qi and Qi into spirit, from the chaotic Sea of Consciousness, the cultivator continuously accumulates the foundation of the Divine Soul.

However, in the end, the Divine Soul is Yin and weak, unable to directly face the might of Heaven and Earth. At most, a small portion of the Divine Soul can be released, forming what is known as Spirit Perception and Divine Perception.

But!

When a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, the Divine Soul will combine with the essence and Qi of the physical body, as well as the power of cultivation, giving birth to a special entity known as the "Nascent Soul."

The Nascent Soul is a symbol of the unity of the three treasures: essence, Qi, and spirit! It can temporarily house the Divine Soul, serving as a temporary residence for the Divine Soul after it leaves the Sea of Consciousness.

However, at this moment, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical one. Without the protection of the Purple Mansion, the exposed Nascent Soul still dares not stay long under the blue sky and scorching sun.

Thus, cultivators begin to pursue Yin Soul Crossing Yang, transforming from a Yin and weak state to a Yang and solid state.

Once they reach the Yang Solid Realm, the Divine Soul can thoroughly merge into the Nascent Soul's body. At this point, the Nascent Soul is no longer called a Nascent Soul but is referred to as Yuanshen!

The cultivator's Divine Soul is no longer called Divine Perception but is now known as Divine Thought.

This realm, as a whole, is called "Huashen"! This is a fundamental change.

From this point on, cultivators no longer fear the blue sky and scorching sun, and under the watchful eyes of Heaven's Path, they can cultivate without restraint, freely experiencing the three thousand Grand Daos and countless principles!

When the Alchemy Sage Zhu Yan reveals her complete Yuanshen, identical in appearance to her, no longer in the infant state, everyone understands that she is indeed a true Huashen Powerhouse.

Having comprehended the principles, with a thought, she can manifest as a god or a demon, and she has also gained the qualification to ascend.

Currently, what she is doing is preparing for her ascension.

Everyone holds their breath and focuses their attention, concentrating all their minds on remembering the changes that follow.

Luo Chen is no exception!

Not only is his mind focused, but he also mobilizes his power, infusing it into his eyes, pushing the Spirit Eye Technique to its historical peak, ensuring he doesn't miss even the slightest change.

His black-pupiled eyes shine with dazzling spiritual light. If not for everyone's attention being on the Alchemy Sage, this might have attracted many curious glances.

Under Luo Chen's intense gaze, the vast Yuanshen floating in the air slowly closes its eyes.

As she closes her eyes, boundless spiritual energy surges from all directions, converging from thousands of miles away.

It encompasses various attributes, not limited to any single one.

This spiritual energy gathers, enveloping the massive Yuanshen.

Luo Chen observes this scene, deep in thought.

If Nascent Soul cultivators can manipulate the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth corresponding to their attributes, then at the Huashen Realm, such beings can mobilize and absorb the collection of spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth—the Primordial Qi.

The Primordial Essence of Heaven and Earth!

According to his understanding, if one views this world as a living being, then Primordial Qi is its breath during inhalation and exhalation. The spiritual energy of various attributes is merely a single, separate aspect within the Primordial Qi.

Huashen cultivators, with their Yuanshen paralleling Heaven and Earth, comprehend the true meaning of principles and grasp a portion of the authority over the Grand Dao.

At this moment, Huashen cultivators, in terms of status, are on par with Heaven and Earth. However, due to the disparity in individual power, they still appear minuscule.

But in essence, they can be considered a part of Heaven and Earth, naturally capable of absorbing and utilizing the Primordial Essence of Heaven and Earth's inhalation and exhalation.

After absorbing and refining the powerful Primordial Qi, a cultivator's power will possess infinite might.

Compared to the weak living beings in this world, they already possess the power to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas, to chase stars and seize the moon. Therefore, the honorific for Huashen cultivators no longer uses terms like True Cultivator or Upper Immortal from lower realms to represent their cultivation concepts and status. Instead, it is replaced by a term symbolizing the power they hold, capable of destroying the heavens and earth.

People call them "Great Powers"!

Luo Chen watches as the boundless Primordial Qi surges from the Central State Continent, nearly submerging the entire Heaven Earth Peak, and his thoughts surge, his mind racing, and his thinking becomes extremely active.

Even as he continuously circulates the Dust Essence Technique to suppress his emotional fluctuations, his mind still wanders with countless thoughts.

"Why is it like this? Is it because I'm witnessing this grand event that I can't control myself?"

But in the next moment, he understands everything from a record in the numerous books he has read.

"It's because the other party has drawn upon the power of Heaven and Earth to assist in their ascension!"

For a Huashen cultivator to ascend, it is not that simple.

There are two types: active and passive.

The latter requires cultivation to the late Huashen stage, where one's personal might makes this world feel apprehensive, forcing them to ascend.

As for the former, due to insufficient realm and personal power, they need Heaven and Earth to lend a hand.

But how does Heaven and Earth provide assistance?

The vast Primordial Qi drawn by the Yuanshen is one part of the power, and the other part...

Luo Chen takes a deep breath, and the source power cultivated within his body slowly begins to mobilize, gradually surging into his eyes.

This is a very dangerous practice.

Normally, Luo Chen would never use source power to perform techniques, as source power and power are from two different cultivation systems, and the suitable techniques are entirely different.

At this moment, he needed to perceive the truth of this world.

There was no better power for this than Primordial Energy!

Because only Primordial Beasts could produce Primordial Energy, and they were the darlings of the Mountain Sea Realm.

As Primordial Energy surged into his eyes, Luo Chen's eyes instantly turned red, and the scene before him became a sea of scarlet.

Within that scarlet, he vaguely sensed something extraordinary—a consciousness from the Central State Continent flying towards Dan Sheng's Yuanshen.

"Are these the Spirit Acumen?" Luo Chen muttered to himself.

He had once read in an ancient book about the "Spirit Acumen."

【The universe's Spirit Acumen is mysterious and profound,

Thus, the Great Dao is difficult to attain, and living beings are ignorant.

Only the heavens bestow Spirit Acumen,

Clearly revealing, dispelling clouds and mist, to reveal the true essence!】

This so-called Spirit Acumen was not a power but more like a consciousness of the world.

This consciousness drove the growth of all things in the world, evolving and giving birth to various Great Dao laws.

Therefore, people often say that the world has a spirit, and this "spirit" has never referred to spiritual energy but to the "Spirit Acumen," a mysterious and elusive thing.

At this moment, Dan Sheng released her Yuanshen, primarily to attract these Spirit Acumen.

However, the amount of Spirit Acumen she absorbed seemed a bit excessive.

"Why is the range so vast?"

Within Luo Chen's line of sight, Spirit Acumen filled an area of several thousand li.

Beyond his vision, thousands of miles away, there seemed to be more mysterious and elusive Spirit Acumen.

If Luo Chen's realm were higher, he would have discovered that at this moment, not only the Central State Continent but also the other four continents had faint Spirit Acumen, actively moving towards the Central State Continent.

He thought that a Huashen Powerhouse's ascension was like this, so he didn't delve deeper but continued to observe Dan Sheng's actions.

The process of her attracting Spirit Acumen lasted a long time.

It took half a day.

The immense pressure even forced all the lower-level cultivators on Heaven Earth Peak to collapse onto the ground.

Only Nascent Soul True Immortals could remain seated in the clouds, but the pressure was still immense.

With his eyes scarlet, Luo Chen could no longer sustain the continuous activation of the Spirit Eye Technique using Primordial Energy and lowered his head.

"Isn't it over yet? Where are the auspicious signs of ascension?"

According to ancient records, when a Huashen cultivator ascends, it is like a child leaving home, and the "parents" of heaven and earth will create various auspicious signs to send them off.

The most common scene is being lifted by a glow.

Additionally, there are other signs like golden lotuses rising from the earth, the cheers of ten thousand beings, and colored clouds chasing the moon.

Just as Luo Chen was expecting, the long-awaited auspicious sign finally appeared.

Amidst the hazy heavens and earth, a strand of glow seemed to pierce through Heaven Earth Peak like a sharp sword, illuminating Dan Sheng's Yuanshen.

As if in response, Dan Sheng's Yuanshen trembled, and a frail body rose from the depths of Heaven Earth Peak.

Next, if all went as expected, the Yuanshen would return to its body, and with the glow, she would ascend to the Immortal World!

Luo Chen was eagerly anticipating this.

However, he didn't notice that someone didn't share this anticipation at all.

Even Dan Sheng didn't return her Yuanshen to her body but kept it outside, continuously attracting more Spirit Acumen from the Mountain Sea Realm.

Luo Chen waited for a long time without seeing the scene he had in mind.

In his confusion, he subconsciously looked up.

Dan Sheng still didn't move, and the one who answered his and others' doubts was the voice of Mo Shouzhuo, the Heavenly Yuan Sect Master.

"You've worked hard. Leave the rest to me!"

This calm statement drew everyone's attention to the old man in the black and white Daoist robe.

He gestured behind him.

Behind him, another elder respectfully presented an ancient Go board.

Only then did people remember the two individuals who had appeared with the Heavenly Yuan Sect Master but had been overlooked.

The white-haired and famous one was the Go Saint Ke Lianshan.

The one with a mournful and beautiful appearance was Mingyan, the most outstanding true disciple of the Heavenly Yuan Sect's master-disciple lineage.

The Heavenly Yuan Sect Master took the Go board from Go Saint Ke Lianshan, holding it with his left hand and using his right hand to sketch in the air as if wielding a sword.

Luo Chen couldn't help but activate the Spirit Eye Technique again using Primordial Energy.

Under his gaze, he saw strand after strand of intangible and invisible Spirit Acumen gathering at the tip of the Heavenly Yuan Sect Master's right finger.

Soon, a miniature vortex formed.

Then, the Heavenly Yuan Sect Master bent his finger, and the vortex, like a Go piece, landed in the center of the ancient Go board.

Heavenly Yuan!

At this moment, Dan Sheng felt a great relief as her Yuanshen returned to her body and merged with her frail physical form.

At this moment, the ancient Go board trembled slightly, and starlight flickered incessantly.

In this instant, the earth shook, and the wind and clouds roared!

The descending glow that filled the sky instantly dissipated.

Thick clouds gathered frantically above Heaven Earth Peak, and silver-white arcs of electricity flickered within the cloud layer.

Seeing this, Luo Chen was stunned.

"What is he doing?!"

"These Spirit Acumen are meant to lift Dan Sheng's Zhu Yan for her ascension to the Immortal World!"

"Could that Go board be the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect's sect-protecting treasure, the Worn Chessboard?"

"Rumors say that this chessboard alone can suppress the Spirit Acumen of an entire continent. But now, it has become a treasure for seizing opportunities, trapping the Spirit Acumen belonging to the Alchemy Sage within the chessboard."

Luo Chen couldn't bear to watch the Heavenly Yuan Sect Master's actions any longer; he quickly turned his gaze towards the location of the Alchemy Sage.

Interrupting the opportunity for Ascension, seizing the Spirit Acumen of Heaven and Earth for personal use—although he didn't know what benefits it would bring to the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect, for the Alchemy Sage Chuyan, it was undoubtedly a heinous act that defied the will of Heaven and Earth.

The consequences...

Dark clouds filled the sky, and tribulation thunder gathered, ready to strike. In a cultivator's lifetime, they would only trigger the Heavenly Tribulation three times.

Once in the Spirit Embryo Stage.

Once in the Body Integration Stage.

Once in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Each time, there would be three rounds, commonly known as the Three Nines Heavenly Tribulation.

The Ascension of a Soul Powerhouse was supposed to be a joyous occasion; it shouldn't have attracted the Heavenly Tribulation.

But now, the sudden appearance of the terrifyingly powerful Heavenly Tribulation was almost unimaginable! How would the Alchemy Sage Chuyan face this?

Amidst Luo Chen's worries, the frail woman remained calm and unmoved.

She stood up slowly, sitting cross-legged in the void.

Her pristine Dao robe concealed her graceful figure, and the corners of her slightly round face lifted slightly.

With a flick of her sleeve, the vast Primordial Qi surrounding her trembled.

Boom!

The Primordial Qi dispersed, transforming into spiritual rain that fell upon every cultivator in the Cloud Sea Plaza.

The low-level cultivators who were previously slumped in weakness felt as if they had drunk sweet dew, experiencing a refreshing clarity in their minds and advancement in their cultivation.

Even those Foundation Establishment cultivators near the peak of the Golden Core stage unconsciously condensed their Qi into cyclones within their bodies, automatically forming Golden Cores.

Cultivators with hidden illnesses felt their ailments dissipate, and their bodies became lighter.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivators sitting high in the clouds felt their cultivation increase significantly.

Luo Chen, who was previously just a step away from the second layer of the Nascent Soul stage, felt the bottleneck loosen slightly. If he continued to meditate for a period, he should be able to effortlessly break through to the second layer.

"Is this her blessing?" Luo Chen thought.

But Chuyan's actions weren't over yet.

She reached out in the void, and amidst the frown of the Heavenly Yuan Sect Master, it seemed as if she had grasped something.

Then, she exhaled a breath of clear air, and her ten fingers swiftly formed intricate hand seals in the air.

Luo Chen watched this scene, and a thought crossed his mind.

"She's refining pills!"

"But why does this pill refinement technique seem vaguely familiar to me?"

Suddenly, Chuyan's movements stopped, and five fist-sized orbs of light hovered in front of her.

"Mo Zongzhu, my apologies. Before I leave, I still want to leave something behind."

Her fingers, which were on the chessboard, slowly loosened, and the Heavenly Yuan Sect Master's furrowed brows relaxed, "It's fine, a bit of Spirit Acumen won't affect the overall situation."

The reason for this statement was that two of the five orbs had fallen into the representatives of the Central State families, and one had flown towards the Wuzhi Mountain Range. This represented the Alchemy Sage's final gift, and the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect received the most.

However, the ownership of the remaining two orbs was somewhat unexpected.

One flew into the hands of a young man from the Eastern Wilderness Abyss Sect.

"Senior Uncle..."

"Take it. This is my small compensation to the Abyss Sect."

The young man pursed his lips and took the orb.

The last orb, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, landed in the hands of a middle-aged man with graying hair among the many guest scholars of the Star Gate.

Luo Chen was taken aback.

Facing the gazes from all around, especially the burning gaze of the Seven Lantern Elder nearby, he felt uncomfortable all over.

"Senior Alchemy Sage, what is this?"

Chuyan smiled slightly, "Your True Fire is on the verge of transformation, just a step away from completion. With the help of this Heavenly Fate Pill, it will be like water flowing into a channel. Consider this as a token of my appreciation for the Star Gate."

Luo Chen was stunned. How did she know that his Withered Glory True Fire was about to complete its transformation? Moreover, why did she give this gift to him, a newly joined External Affairs Guest Scholar, instead of the other guest scholars and offering cultivators of the Star Gate?

There was no more time left to think.

The Heavenly Yuan Sect Master's voice, aged and solemn, rang out, "It's time for you to leave."

And so, the Alchemy Sage left! Boom! On the Heaven Earth Peak, the Star Gate opened wide.

A dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds and revealing a mysterious door in the azure sky.

The frail woman walked up the radiant pillar of light, and in full view of the world, she pushed open the door and disappeared from sight.

With her figure gone, Heaven and Earth's anger had nowhere to vent.

Finally, the dark clouds dissipated, and the tribulation thunder scattered.

At this moment, the mountains were lush green, rivers flowed, and the clear moon and gentle breeze, the beauty was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Chen stared blankly at the sky, feeling a strange sense of reluctance to part with this woman whom he had only met twice and had a brief connection with.

Just then, beneath the night sky, a deep dragon's roar suddenly resounded.

"With abundant Spirit Acumen, the Sea Dragon awakens, and the people of the Heavenly Yuan Gate enter the Heavenly Cavern!"

Luo Chen turned abruptly and looked down at the base of the Heaven Earth Peak.

At the foot of the peak, on the banks of the Vanishing River, a vast white mist suddenly appeared, and a large mouth formed by the gathering of clouds and mist slowly opened.

The mouth was deep and mysterious, connecting reality and illusion, as if leading to another space.
