Chapter 242: Nevermore…?

Pure Spirit Ocean, Shangqing Spiritual World.

“Greater Lord Mingxin has already elevated the Chu Territory of the Seventh Mortal Secret Realm to the level of an ordinary Secret Realm. When will you pay a visit, Exalted Origin Immortal Sacred Son?”

A young man with a cultivation base at the peak Divine Core stage was standing there, looking at Origin Immortal Sacred Son with eyes filled with reverence and respect. Origin Immortal Sacred Son was sitting on a prayer cushion, surrounded by a golden halo.

Dressed in white Buddhist robes, Origin Immortal Sacred Son’s long, black hair flowed freely. His face was extraordinarily handsome, and there were countless Buddhist ? symbols flickering in and out of existence in his eyes.

With an indifferent glance at the somewhat fanatic young man, he said, “I will go now.”

The youth stood up, and the young man respectfully followed half a step behind.

“Clear Spirit, although your profound law foundation gives you the qualifications to reach the Clone Avatar stage, you have no hopes of reaching the Divine Sea stage. I can help you rebuild your Dao foundation. Are you willing to abandon your current cultivation and start anew?”

Suddenly, Origin Immortal Sacred Son turned to look at him, his golden gaze piercing and spellbinding, making it difficult for others to meet his eyes.

The young man hesitated for a few moments. But when he thought about the hypotheses the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords had about Origin Immortal Sacred Son’s identity, as well as the incredible divine phenomena that had occurred surrounding him, the young man gritted his teeth and said, “Exalted Origin Immortal Sacred Son, I am willing.”

Exalted Clear Spirit Sacred Son had a cultivation base at the peak Divine Core stage, and was also cultivating in the Shangqing Spiritual World, where the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords resided.

Upon his initial arrival in the Shangqing Spiritual World above the Pure Spirit Ocean, Origin Immortal Sacred Son had received an unimaginable amount of cultivation resources, causing the other Shangqing Sacred Sons to feel discontent. However, within days, their attitudes drastically changed. Clear Spirit Sacred Son was even willing to serve as his attendant, which spoke to the fearsome power that Origin Immortal Sacred Son possessed.

Origin Immortal Sacred Son extended his hand. A mote of golden Buddhist light swirled in his palm, transforming into a golden lotus that hovered above Exalted Clear Spirit Sacred Son’s head, showering down golden rays.

Above in the endless sky, a faint, mysterious aura appeared, causing a subtle change, as if some divine anomaly had descended.

Suddenly, the golden lotus completely shattered, exploding and filling the sky with motes of golden light!

“Impossible!”

A rare look of astonishment appeared in Origin Immortal Sacred Son’s normally indifferent eyes.

Clear Spirit Sacred Son, opening his eyes, was momentarily at a loss, unaware of what had transpired, and remained silent.

The Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda emerged, and a golden-robed, white-haired young man appeared before them in a beam of pale yellow profound light.

“Did that ant’s cultivation of the mind achieve the Will of Heaven Psyche?”

Origin Immortal Sacred Son’s tone grew colder. As he glared at the artifact spirit of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, his eyes filled with irrepressible anger.

After a moment’s hesitation, the golden-robed young man recalled something and his expression darkened. “Master, when he broke into the half-step Dao Foundation Realm, I cast an illusion spell to try to mislead him. At that time, his cultivation of the mind happened to momentarily align with the Will of Heaven Psyche, which caused the broken Heavenly Spirit of the Floating Immortal Heaven to mistakenly believe a new Immortal being was born, and it sent down… a s-stream of Immortal violet qi, merging into his soul.”

The young man trembled as he spoke. When he finished speaking, he stayed prostrated on the ground, not daring to speak any further.

Beads of nervous sweat appeared on Clear Spirit Sacred Son’s forehead. He didn’t dare to butt in, so he pretended to turn a deaf ear and stood silently at the side.

Origin Immortal Sacred Son, with countless ? symbols appearing and disappearing in his eyes, remained silent for a moment. Contrary to Clear Spirit Sacred Son’s expectations, he did not get angry. Instead, he spoke quietly. “How much Immortal qi from the Floating Immortal Heaven is stored in your body?”

The golden-robed young man lifted his head and activated the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda, which hovered above him. Dozens of strands of Immortal qi were swirling about it, creating an incredibly mystical sight.

“After the Floating Immortal Heaven was broken up by the Heavenly Court and Sah? Heaven, it has been in ruins. If not for the supreme, undying laws of the Heavenly Spirit of Floating Immortal Heaven, it would have long since ceased to exist,” Origin Immortal Sacred Son said. He was only a fragment belonging to a clone of the Bodhisattva that had awakened, and his consciousness was still incomplete. As a result, his emotions were inevitably affected by this matter. “That strand of Immortal violet qi that descended from Floating Immortal Heaven was the last. Now, there is none left.”

The golden-robed young man deliberated for a while, then said, “This matter arose because of me, allowing that mere ant to benefit. When the master ascends to the Divine Sea stage and converts from the Buddhist to the Immortal path, I am willing to use the origin Immortal power belonging to my Immortal Treasure body and the stored Floating Immortal Heaven immortal qi to form a supreme Immortal qi. Although it may not compare to the bestowed Immortal violet qi, it can still assist Master in achieving enlightenment of the Immortal Path.”

He did not say more than that.

The Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda was a supreme Immortal Treasure, and contained enough Immortal power to create a new Immortal being. However, the consequence for doing this would be the complete, permanent destruction of this Immortal Treasure, which had existed for numerous epochs.

Both ignored the presence of Clear Spirit Sacred Son. Despite his hundreds of years of prestigious status as a Shangqing Sacred Son and his extensive worldly experience, he was still dumbfounded and incredulous upon hearing such shocking insider information.

Origin Immortal Sacred Son settled his mind and said, “It’s no matter. In the end, he is nothing more than a mere ant. Once I awaken a bit more, I can crush him with a flip of my hand.”

Looking at Clear Spirit Sacred Son, he continued, “I was originally planning to use my Buddhist power to help you rebuild your Dao foundation. This would temporarily allow me to attain the Will of Heaven Psyche and attract the bestowal of violet qi from Floating Immortal Heaven. Although that bestowed Immortal violet qi is no more, I cannot go back on my word.”

With a flip of his hand, the golden lotus appeared again, hovering over Clear Spirit Sacred Son’s head, where it shed golden light.

At this moment, Origin Immortal Sacred Son, being only a fragment of the soul of the unknown Bodhisattva from his previous life, did not have a perfect temperament and could not avoid unnecessary emotional fluctuations. For example, when he examined the karma lines attached to Soul Suppressor Sacred Son’s body, he found them to be overly dense and deeply vexing.

The Dao of Karma did not mean much below the Divine Sea stage, but was extremely important in the higher cultivation stages. In some circumstances, it mattered more than the strength of one’s cultivation base, and thus could not be ignored.

Now that Greater Lord Mingxin had elevated the Chu Territory to an ordinary Secret Realm and made it the private domain of Origin Immortal Sacred Son, he had to go to the Chu Territory to settle all these insignificant, trifling ties of karma, to prevent them from hindering his future cultivation.

…

Central Region of the Human Realm.

The Spirit Race’s Profound Depth Celestial Land was one of several influences in the Central Region of the Human Realm that had a long heritage, existing for untold ages. Its status in the Central Region of the Human Realm was similar to that of the Jade Lake Spiritual World and the Mountain Protecting Spiritual World of the Human Realm’s Eastern Region, being extremely remote and impartial.
