Chapter 323: Breakthrough, Early-stage Transcendence Realm
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a spatial channel materialized in the sky, like a deep-sea vortex hanging upside down.
"Ah, a Cave Heaven spatial channel! Daoist friend Jiang Chen, you owning a private Cave Heaven is indeed impressive," said Mo Hao, smiling as he observed the channel.
"Please, Daoist friend Mo Hao. With your distinguished background, a Cave Heaven must be trivial," Jiang Chen replied, shaking his head and chuckling.
Not letting himself be swept away by Mo Hao's praise, he was cautious.
Mo Hao's background was extraordinary; his family undoubtedly possessed multiple Cave Heavens.
Becoming overly proud could lead Jiang Chen into humiliation.
"I once owned a Cave Heaven," Mo Hao interjected, his tone shifting. "It's no longer mine, but rest assured, I will reclaim all that was once mine." His eyes emitted a cold flash before he laughed and soared into the spatial channel.
Jiang Chen turned to his freshly subjugated subordinates. "Zhu Zhihai will handle the arrangements for the rest of you. Disperse throughout the Immortal Martial Continent and secure various locations," he ordered.
Gathering the corpses of the Transcendence realm cultivators, he too entered the spatial channel.
In truth, Jiang Chen hadn't initially planned to unveil the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven to Mo Hao.
Yet, he surmised that Mo Hao might already know of its existence, given it wasn't a well-kept secret on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.
Opting for transparency, he invited Mo Hao and orchestrated a temporary evacuation of the Immortal Martial Continent's populace, thereby eliminating many potential targets for Mo Hao's pretentious display.
As they traversed the spatial channel, the scene abruptly shifted.
Inside the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven, Mo Hao and Jiang Chen found themselves amidst a sprawling headquarters, erected upon the remnants of Inheritance Peak.
The Spiritual Qi drawn from various domains of the Immortal Martial Continent primarily funneled into this location. However, due to the spirit-gathering formation's limited scale and the brief period it had been operational, the concentration of Spiritual Qi at Inheritance Peak was roughly equivalent to that found in the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
Jiang Chen turned to Mo Hao, gesturing expansively. "This is the most Spiritually-rich area within the Immortal Martial Continent. I trust it meets your expectations."
"Quite satisfactory, indeed. How could I find it lacking?" Mo Hao responded with a chuckle.
The truth was, he had no pressing need for concentrated Spiritual Qi for cultivation. He already possessed a system that negated the need for such rigorous training.
After all, why expend the effort to become strong through hard work when ostentation could achieve the same result?
Quickly, under Jiang Chen's lead, Mo Hao was guided to a palace constructed atop the ruins of Inheritance Peak. There, he selected a secluded chamber for himself.
'Once I consolidate my realm, it's time to find some folks to impress!' thought Mo Hao as he settled into his meditation chamber.
Jiang Chen, a glint flickering in his eyes, had his own thoughts. 'This guy hasn't yet used some of the pills he traded for. Once he's done cultivating for a bit, he's bound to emerge, looking for people to show off to and demean. I can't allow him that victory.'
Following that, Jiang Chen selected a nearby meditation chamber and sequestered himself to sift through his recent gains.
At the top of the list? The corpses of four Transcendence realm cultivators!
With a mere thought, he activated two Heaven-Defying Fate Changers: 'Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo' and 'Wordless Heavenly Jade.'
The four corpses instantly dissolved into misty clouds of blood and shimmering specks of light, which were swiftly absorbed into Jiang Chen's body.
Immediately, the Wordless Heavenly Jade absorbed a copious amount of qi and blood, converting it into an immense wellspring of mystical energy.
Moreover, a formidable cultivation base integrated directly into Jiang Chen's body.
Since his ascension at the Immortal Martial Grand Assembly to the Late-stage Dao Palace realm, Jiang Chen had already vanquished Bo Lang and Shao Ji, two Middle-stage Transcendence realm experts. Additionally, he had taken down four Early-stage Transcendence realm individuals, such as Scarface.
Beyond that, he had also eliminated several demons from both the Dao Palace and Dao Comprehension realms.
In addition, the cultivation base absorbed by the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo had now surpassed the one-tenth mark, reaching approximately fifteen percent.
At this juncture, Jiang Chen had successfully amassed sufficient cultivation base to break through from the Dao Palace realm to the Transcendence realm.
'I have what it takes to ascend to the Transcendence realm now,' Jiang Chen pondered.
'It's time to switch my main cultivation method to the 'Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra,' prepared for me by Wan'er and Ning'er.'
'The Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra is remarkably compatible with almost any main cultivation method, facilitating seamless advancement to even higher realms!'
'Once I master this method, I can progress to the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path. Beyond that, I could continuously ascend through the 'Primal Chaos realm', 'Expanding Chaos realm', all the way to the apex of the Fourth Stepthe 'Primordial Chaos realm'!' His expression turned earnest, and with a focused thought, he commenced delving into the impeccable insights provided by Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.
Given his innate talent and the tutelage from the two formidable Void Tribulation realm powerhouses, Jiang Chen would swiftly assimilate vast portions of the cultivation method's profound teachings.
Moreover, when using the Wordless Heavenly Jade, he could conserve a considerable amount of martial training energy.
As time ticked on, Jiang Chen, guided by Shangguan Ning and Nangong Wan, delved deeper into the Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra. It didn't take long for him to gain an initial grasp of the cultivation method's core essence.
Persisting in his study and comprehension, he steadily understood more of the method's profound teachings.
Several days passed.
Jiang Chen had surmounted all the immediate challenges within the cultivation method; what remained demanded focused efforts.
Now, it was the Wordless Heavenly Jade's turn to come into play!
Given his victories over Shao Ji and the other Transcendence realm cultivators, he had amassed a significant amount of martial training energy.
Subsequently, using the Wordless Heavenly Jade, Jiang Chen successfully mastered the entirety of the main cultivation method, the Supreme Pure Creation Heart Sutra!
Setting aside the cultivation of the first and second steps of the Cultivation Path, the third step focused on cultivating the 'Great Dao Immortal Body'.
In the Dao Palace realm, a cultivator had already incorporated the Dao Core, infused with the profound wisdom of the Great Dao, into the dantian's cells. This enabled preliminary unification with the Great Dao.
To ascend to the Transcendence realm, the cultivator had to build upon the Dao Palace foundation, disseminating the power of the Great Dao across the body to initiate the cells' transcendence.
A prerequisite for this was mastering the powers of the Five Elements Great Dao: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Once in the Transcendence realm and persisting with one's cultivation, specific secret techniques were employed to refine every cell in the body. This enabled the cells to merge with the Dao Core in the same manner as the dantian.
This crucial step set the groundwork for advancing to the next realm: 'Peering into Nirvana'.
As its name implies, the 'Nirvana Peering realm' provides the initial insight into the realm of Nirvana.
At this juncture, the power of the Great Dao would be infused into each and every cell, culminating in a state referred to as the 'Complete Dao Palace Body'.
Once this step finalized, the 'Complete Dao Palace Body' would take form, also recognized as the 'Great Dao Immortal Body'.
In the Great Dao Immortal Body, every inch functioned akin to the 'dantian' and 'meridians'. The stored Immortal Yuan Power experienced an exponential surge, while the encapsulated power of the Great Dao grew increasingly profound and boundless.
Next came the Nirvana Cleansing realm, marking the third stage in the Third Step of the Cultivation Path.
This realm served as a continuation of the Nirvana Peering realm, focusing primarily on deepening the understanding of the power of the Great Dao.
Upon comprehending the power of forty-nine types of Great Dao, one could harness the Great Dao's power to attain true Nirvana.
At this juncture, the cultivator essentially became an emissary of the Great Dao. A marked feature was an intensified communion with the universe, leading to a significant enhancement in the cultivator's aptitude, which progressed beyond 'Perfect Grade' to achieve the 'Peerless Grade' level.
