A Long Grind to Daoist Monarch

Chapter 434 - 260: Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment, So-Called Opportunity_2

"I once read an ancient book before the way of the Dao was lost, compiled by the orthodox sect, which recorded a rare constitution in the world."

"Oh?"

Chen Yin raised his eyebrows. As the White Sun Sect Leader and a Ghost Immortal Daoist Cultivator, his claim to have read extensively and mastered the past and present was not an exaggeration, making him immediately curious.

"Old Chen, have you ever heard of the Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment?"

Chen Xing’s expression was steady, his voice calm, giving an impression of certainty and precision:

"What?"

Chen Yin racked his brains, searching through his vast knowledge, but found not a word about the "Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment."

"It is said that in the previous Dao era, the Four Saints traveled across every corner of the universe, organizing the Dao and gathering the heavenly mind, thus igniting the sparks of the Great Dao in the once barbaric lands of raw flesh and blood.

At that time, there were not many distinct levels of realms, and people only sought to establish a foundation in the Dao, refine essence and energy, become true saints, and attain longevity."

Chen Xing spoke slowly, as if carefully weighing each word:

"Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment refers to a fundamentally flawless and complete foundation, without any flaws in natural talent or bone structure, thus favored by the will of the heavens.

Such individuals inherently possess a closeness to the Great Dao, as if the heavens’ favorite, capable of everything, mastering all with ease, and their wisdom encompasses all things... This is the Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment.

Think carefully, Ah Qi, is it not so?"

Does this saying truly exist?

Chen Yin was half-convinced, half-doubtful.

Even though he also felt that Bai Qilang’s aptitude was not limited to an extraordinary level.

A martial talent, a Daoist star, and even in the most difficult path of sword cultivation, he showed the same brilliance.

But a perfect foundation favored by the heavens?

That is too exaggerated.

In contemporary terms, those universally acknowledged as having the highest aptitude and talent, measured every four hundred years, are the King of Support in the Dragon Court.

Measured every two hundred years is the Sect Leader of the Five Directions Emperor Palace.

Measured every hundred years are Kou Qiuyue of the Meridian Sword Sect, Ren Shengping of the Observatory Tower, and Withered Dust of the Nine Prisons Mountain... Without a clear winner.

And none have claimed to have a Celestial Dao Foundation or a physique close to the Dao.

"The Supreme Emperor of the Dragon Court has Azure Heaven’s Seal, thus revered as the Emperor. Your protégé from Black Water River, with his big name, seems truly exaggerated."

Chen Yin instinctively thought Chen Xing was making up stories.

"A Bai Shu Lang who, for over ten years, only knew swimming and fishing, never touched a sword, yet was pursued by the Divine Soldiers.

Abandoned the true inheritance of the Upper Sect and recognized Ah Qi as master... Compared to the King of Support in his youth, as the Ink Jade Qilin walked across water bearing the Water and Fire Dragon Capturing Rod, who is stronger?"

Chen Xing swiftly countered.

"..."

Chen Yin was speechless.

The weight of the Nanming Li Fire is not trivial, being one of the three Divine Soldiers enshrined by the Meridian Sword Sect, and a favored weapon of Kou Daozi.

Setting aside the Six Profound Mysterious Divine Soldiers that suppress fortune and control spiritual energy, it could be ranked among the very top in today’s world.

"The core method of the Four Reversals Demon Sect, the ’Immaculate Scripture,’ ultimately is a manifestation of the Great Dao. So, Old Chen, think of a way to lure that thing out, and then send in Ah Qi, and everything will be resolved."

Chen Xing displayed a confident demeanor, eyes reflecting a wisdom of the ages.

"You describe your protégé as if he were a peerless beauty, irresistible to any man... Fine, I will trust you this once.

Isn’t it just tricking away the ’Immaculate Scripture’? For me, it’s as easy as offering a hand!"

Chen Yin’s grand sleeve waved, his demeanor extraordinary.

What a joke, after all, he surpasses Zhao Pijiang and Yu Wen Tuo, and stands equal to the Upper Sect Daoist Sect Leader as a giant of divine power.

Taking hold of the ’Immaculate Scripture’ taught by the Pimo King is just a matter of using a myriad of methods!

"No wonder you’re the White Sun Sect Leader, who stands atop the peak, surveying all beneath with ease!"

Chen Xing hurriedly offered praise and flattery, encouraging Chen Yin to maintain this state.

"Don’t think a few sweet words can win the Sect Leader over. This time, for the sake of your protégé, and considering the bigger picture, the Sect Leader will reluctantly act once, to open your eyes!"

Chen Yin snorted coldly, sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Platform, beginning to mutter incantations and intonation of prayers.

"In half an hour! The ’Immaculate Scripture’ will come!"

"Oh wow, you mean business, Old Chen."

Witnessing the stars swirling above, fading in and out, meridian to Chen Yin’s prayers, Chen Xing was satisfied.

This is the "Earth Prayer Summoning Technique" within the "Future Lifeless Star Chart," which can summon spiritual entities through invisible mental induction.

Seeing Chen Yin fully focused, Chen Xing had no further worries, stepping forward to catch up with his disciple exploring ahead.

"Ah Qi, later, I have something to entrust you with."

...

...

In the Puzzle Cave, Mao Yichang sat cross-legged on the ground, his divine soul resembling dense ink, slowly wriggling and transforming, growing upwards.

He seemed to be listening to celestial music, a look of enjoyment on his face as thoughts split apart, coalescing into fleshy masses.

At first glance, it resembled a tree of flesh and blood bearing fruit, peculiarly eerie.

This lineage of the Pimo King abandoned the Great Compassion Supreme Saint, viewing the corporeal shell as insignificant.

Ordinary seedlings wishing to enter the sect must undergo numerous trials.

For instance, walking naked in public to cut off the sense of shame.

Or soaking in cesspits for several days and nights to cut off the sense of stench.

Even slaughtering their own kin, or beloved friends to cut off emotional ties.

In short, all the bonds entangled with this physical shell from birth are to be renounced.

Only by doing so can one gain the Pimo King’s recognition, be enshrined in the Divine Shrine, and remain mentally enduring.

Mao Yichang initially did not gain the notice of the Pimo King nor the blessings of the ’Immaculate Scripture’ among the Four Reversals.
