I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 2561: Chapter 1159: Breakthrough at the First Step

Only by cultivating Void, can one maintain oneself while freely roaming within the Great Dao.

To completely grasp the Great Dao is still as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It’s like mastering swimming skills that allow one to move through the ocean, yet unable to command the sea itself.

To harmonize with the Dao, one must continuously refine the Great Dao while strengthening oneself.

On the first step, Chen Mobai automatically activated the Pure Yang Scroll, an endless stream of Dao rhythm surged, merging into his Azure Bird Dharma Aspect.

Gradually, his aura became increasingly grand, beginning a ceaseless ascent.

Then, under the astonished gazes of all present, he directly broke through the bottleneck, advancing into another realm.

A beam of Pure Yang Immortal Light shot into the sky, making those present who were cultivating Yang attribute techniques feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, even vaguely gaining insight, as if they were already stepping onto Purple Cloud Palace’s steps.

”The True Monarch seems to have broken through to the middle stage of Deity Transformation?”

Comparing the sect’s records, Yuan Xu found references to Yuan Yang Ancestor’s cultivation records, and couldn’t help but be taken aback, speaking in disbelief.

”Turns out I wasn’t mistaken...”

Nangong Xuanyu murmured beside him, his face unable to suppress the shock.

As a fellow cultivator of Pure Yang Scroll, he was well aware of the auras and phenomena of each realm within this technique. Even before Chen Mobai’s breakthrough, he noticed some signs.

Yet he dared not believe it.

After all, it had been merely twenty-plus years since Chen Mobai started his Deity Transformation.

Bear in mind that for some Nascent Soul cultivators, this time might not even be enough to breakthrough one layer.

Yet Chen Mobai directly advanced from early to middle stage of Deity Transformation.

This was more absurd than Wenren Xuewei advancing from Nascent Soul Seventh Layer to Ninth Layer just now.

Could this be achieved by talent alone?

It must be the mystique of the Purple Cloud Palace...

Everyone thought thus, yet their hearts were still filled with unstoppable astonishment.

Soon, the news of Chen Mobai breaking through from early to middle stage of Deity Transformation simply by stepping onto the first step spread from Nascent Soul onwards to everyone in the Three Great Halls and Four Great Daoist Sects.

These people had just lined up, preparing to ascend after Chen Mobai.

But now, with Chen Mobai paused at the first step, they all had to stop and wait, witnessing this marvel unheard of.

Even with a Nascent Soul cultivator leading each queue, everyone couldn’t help but chatter, pondering Pure Yang True Monarch’s astounding talent.

Most debated former reputed number one in talent, Yuan Yang Ancestor, ultimately questioning how Chen Mobai compared.

Some said fivefold, the highest claim made mainly by those from Pure Yang Academy within the Patching Heaven Lineage.

Most others believed it should be around two or threefold.

Leading the queue at the Three Great Halls, Chen Xiaohei couldn’t help but stand tall, brimming with pride.

Unnoticed by her, in the Dancing Instruments and Kunpeng queues nearby, two women shared her same expression.

Chen Mobai himself hadn’t expected to break through to middle stage Deity Transformation while contemplating the Dao rhythm on the first step of Pure Yang Great Dao.

This was largely due to the merits of the Ascension Dragon Gall Pill.

During the year in the sect waiting for the Purple Cloud Palace’s arrival, since the Three Great Halls and Cheng Xuan Yunhai handled various affairs, he had the leisure to consume and refine the Ascension Dragon Gall Pill one by one.

This elixir, specially left in the Dao Fruit by Dan Ding Taoist, was highly effective for Deity Transformation cultivators.

Chen Mobai merely consumed five pills and elevated his Pure Yang Scroll cultivation to the peak of early stage Deity Transformation, encountering a bottleneck.

He didn’t consume the remaining two pills, intending to find time for seclusion after the Purple Cloud Palace event to break through that bottleneck.

Who would’ve thought his luck was so incredible, that upon stepping onto Purple Cloud Palace’s first step, he used the Pure Yang Great Dao rhythm to naturally breakthrough.

This breakthrough was a natural progression, even without needing Pure Yang Great Dao stabilization.

Yet at this moment, Chen Mobai comprehended another true intent of the Pure Yang Scroll.

That is, compared to other techniques, its bottlenecks are easier to overcome, becoming increasingly simple later on.

Originally, while cultivating this Deity Transformation technique, although descriptions of this aspect existed, Chen Mobai hadn’t felt it much throughout his cultivation. Naturally, his initial aptitude was poor, even if Pure Yang Scroll reduced the bottleneck difficulty from ten to nine, he felt no difference.

Yet after Deity Transformation, this effect became increasingly prominent, especially after Chen Mobai’s comprehension heightened with the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun Diagram and mastering the Super Primordial Body with Five Elements Immortal Spirit Root, indisputably making him a peerless genius.

Thus, what might be an immensely solid bottleneck, taking hundreds of years for others to overcome, needed just a gentle push with some assistance for him to break through simply.

Chen Mobai even had a feeling that the late stage of Divinity Transformation, and even the Cultivating Void Heavenly Rift, would not be too difficult for him.

The Pure Yang Scroll is easy to learn and hard to master, but the simpler its nature becomes in the later stages, the more it manifests in him.

However, this only allows him to reach the Cultivating Void stage.

The Harmonization stage is about the complete refinement and mastery of the Great Dao.

The concept of bottlenecks no longer exists.

It just depends on whether there is a vacancy in the Great Dao.

If there is, as long as one lives long enough and there is no competition, by persisting, success is inevitable one day.

Of course, before reaching Harmonization, the efficiency of refining and mastering the power of the Great Dao in the Cultivating Void stage still differs based on cultivation techniques.

The Pure Yang Scroll is also effective in this aspect.

But the most critical factor is the foundation laid during Nascent Soul Formation.

Chen Mobai sat upright on the first step, and the contents of the Pure Yang Scroll left by the Dan Ding Taoist and Purple Sky Daoist Venerable in his Sea of Consciousness began to be continuously understood and comprehended by him.

The key to the efficiency of refining the power of the Great Dao lies in how much True Qi was condensed before Nascent Soul Formation.

For example, with Chen Mobai’s 108 strands of Pure Yang True Qi, during the fusion process, he could draw 108 strands of Great Dao power from the Pure Yang Great Dao at once and merge them into his Primordial Spirit.

If only a single-digit True Qi was condensed during Nascent Soul Formation, as one’s cultivation progresses, a more profound foundation would widen the gap.

For example, people like Mo Douguang of the Five Elements Sect, if in the same realm as Chen Mobai, the latter’s single cultivation session would refine almost ten times the amount of Great Dao power compared to the former.

Over time, this gap would become an insurmountable chasm.

This also reminded Chen Mobai of the first time he saw the Spirit of Big Tree. In that illusory Sea of Consciousness space, he saw it extending 80 branches deep into the Great Dao of Life.

Although the Spirit of Big Tree was puzzled by this, it instinctively refined the power of the Great Dao of Life to augment and enhance itself, which aligned with the principles of cultivation.

At this time, Chen Mobai felt regretful for Wenren Xuewei.

Because, at that time, to support Jumang Academy before the war, she did not condense the ultimate 80 strands of True Qi using the Lasting Spring Cultivation.

If I had known back then, I should have advised a bit.

Chen Mobai and Wenren Xuewei were friends, and he sincerely hoped she could cultivate to higher realms and accompany him for a longer time.

However, this is concerning the progression from Deity Transformation Peak to Cultivating Void, and there is no legacy in the Immortal Gate.

The Five Ancestors of Xianmen might have heard from their elders about related content while in the White Crane Dao Arena but did not understand the principle, as none of them had cultivated to the void. Hence, they left cautionary advice during their teachings for cultivators to condense as much True Qi as possible before Nascent Soul Formation.

At this time, Chen Mobai was grateful that although he’s from the Sect of Realms, all resources were maxed out. Moreover, during his Nascent Soul Formation, with the aid of Yan Bingxuan’s Nascent Soul True Cold, he luckily succeeded in forming 108 strands of Pure Yang True Qi, establishing the most profound foundation.

Therefore, as he sat on this first step, 108 strands of Pure Yang Great Dao power were constantly flowing into his Azure Bird Primordial Spirit, driving his deeper understanding of the Great Dao and his cultivation technique.

It was at this moment that Chen Mobai realized that the Pure Yang Scroll did live up to the reputation of being a cultivation technique left by the Purple Sky Daoist Venerable.

Although the Lasting Spring Cultivation could peak at condensing 240 strands of True Qi and the Six Imperial Scripture even 360, they were separately calculated for each technique.

Individually, it was at most 80 strands for Lasting Spring Cultivation and 60 strands for the Six Imperial Scripture.

However, the Pure Yang Scroll uniquely held 108 strands on its own.

In terms of foundation, it deservedly surpassed Lasting Spring Cultivation and the Six Imperial Scripture.

Of course, cultivating the Great Dao is not so simplistic, as he had also mastered the Six Imperial Scripture, knowing that this technique could draw six types of Great Dao power at once to augment itself. In the Cultivating Void stage, combined with the Law Domain Great Divine Power, it practically crushed the Pure Yang Scroll.

Yet, if dealing with Devil Cultivators, the Pure Yang Scroll could take the lead with its attributes against evil.

Seven days later, Chen Mobai felt his Azure Bird Primordial Spirit had absorbed enough Dao Rhythms of the Pure Yang Great Dao, reaching its limit, and he stopped operating his cultivation technique of his own accord.

He slowly opened his eyes, resembling two bright stars shimmering in the Taixu Mountain Range, the majestic Pure Yang aura earning everyone’s respectful expressions.

”It seems I held you up!”

Chen Mobai turned around, saw the five long lines of Foundation Establishment Practitioners and Core Formation cultivators of the Immortal Gate behind him, and said this with a smile, then nodded to the five Nascent Souls leading the group, lifted his steps, and stepped onto the second step.

This is the Pure Yin Great Dao.

It held some reference value for Chen Mobai, as he mastered the Yin Yang Great Dao.

He once again stopped at this step.

Just as Ye Yune was about to lead Chen Xiaohei up, she immediately stopped to prevent affecting the Pure Yang True Monarch’s breakthrough again.

However, this time, Chen Mobai wasn’t that astonishing.

He stopped on the step for only half a day before stepping onto the third, and then without stopping, reached the first Dao Platform!
