Chapter 1031 - 754: Rule Embryo

Spirit Realm.

Zhang Clan Ancestral Land!

Within a palace.

Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, his body enveloped layer by layer in the soft and heavy divine rays of Sun Gold and Mu Qing.

Countless profound truths and divine mysteries of the Great Dao unfolded, dismantled, and merged like tides in his sea of consciousness.

As his comprehension deepened.

Chen Sheng unexpectedly displayed childlike glee, lifting his hand to extend his sleeve, involuntarily dancing with joy:

"Profound! Wonderful!"

From the perspective of "himself," he clearly perceived the mysteries of the Golden Position origins of [Void Sun] and [Kuimu].

Although there were some minor conflicts between the two, they largely remained compatible.

At this moment, the two forces nurtured and elevated each other, gradually giving rise to a grand power transcending this dimensional plane.

Chen Sheng instantly grasped the essence of this newly born power:

"Rule Embryo!"

The clear divisions of the Mahayana Realm level manifested in his sea of consciousness, and he sorted through them, becoming thoroughly transparent.

"The Mahayana Realm consists of five steps, each realm barrier higher than the last!"

"From the fourth step, the Dao Establishment Realm, a cultivator develops their unique Rule Embryo, which is also the watershed of the Mahayana Realm!"

"Upon reaching the fifth step, the Realm of Only Truth, through endless ages of honing, deducing, and perfecting, eliminating all flaws to establish the foundation of a True Immortal!"

"The fusion and coexistence of two different Star Constellation Golden Positions gave birth to a Rule Embryo in alignment with my own Dao path."

From this new ’Rule Embryo,’ Chen Sheng also sensed a feeling of incompleteness.

He gently shook his head:

"However, Void Sun and Kuimu ultimately belong to two distinct Star Constellation positions, not inherently forming a closed-loop Great Dao."

"The Rule Embryo born from this can only be considered a semi-finished product, far from Perfection."

He couldn’t help but think of those ancient Dao Embryo Great Powers, silently comparing them in his mind:

"If I were to emulate beings like the Great Sun Buddha, who monopolize a singular and complete Dao tradition, holding the same Star Constellation Golden Position, my Dao path would be flawless, with origins unified."

"In pursuit of a second Golden Position, I might ascend directly to the Mahayana Fifth Realm."

"It’s a pity that I can’t do so now..."

After a brief lament, Chen Sheng began to envision the third [Vulnerable Moon] Golden Position:

"In that dimension, four is the extreme, three is transformation, and upon three comes great change!"

"In the Late-stage Dao Foundation, one transforms from Divinity Transformation to Void Refining, in the Late-stage Purple Mansion, one transforms from Integration to Crossing the Tribulation."

"In the Late-stage Golden Core, with the addition of the third Golden Position authority, it might correspond to..."

"True Immortal!!"

At this thought, Chen Sheng felt an ineffable shock in his heart.

He knew that the Cultivation in that dimension was like walking on a tightrope, filled with hidden dangers at every step.

But the speed of advancement was overwhelmingly rapid!

Almost instantaneous Ascension!

Leaping across a chasm in a single bound!!

"One-step, one-layer metamorphosis, the three-layer Golden Position stacking directly knocks on the door of the True Immortal realm."

"Such a leap, few cultivators can keep up with, and no wonder the pollution is so severe!"

"The third Golden Position, the True Immortal-level pollution, can I withstand it?"

Chen Sheng was somewhat uncertain in his heart.

Currently, his cultivation base was only at the Mahayana Second Step.

Although he shared authority with "himself," the entire Dao network and all level constraints had long been completely understood by him.

He only needed to spend a millennium calmly sorting to steadily break through to the Mahayana Third Step!

Even if he spent time laying the groundwork, the hurdle of the fourth step was not an issue.

But True Immortal was an entirely new Great Realm transcending the Mahayana.

Though uncertain, Chen Sheng’s resolve was firm:

"The Vulnerable Moon Golden Position is right before me, one step forward and I can touch the threshold of True Immortal..."

"No matter how terrifying the pollution, this step must be taken."

"If there’s a problem, solve it!"

"Moreover, with myself as the anchor point for "him," I already hold a significant advantage in comparison!"

...

Evergreen Immortal Sect, the Gold-Seeking Platform remains unchanged.

The Cloud Sea hasn’t dispersed, the residual ripples of Golden Resonance persist, but the great drama of the Dao validation has come to a complete end.

As [Taiyin Fuwei Yingkui Immortal Monarch], deeply mired in the forbidden pollution left by the Great Sun Buddha, fell into slumber.

This unexpected misstep left him with no time to use authority to alter the perceptions of beings in this dimension.

The secret history, altered for countless ages, lay bare and exposed before all observing cultivators.

Above the Cloud Sea.

Numerous Purple Mansion True Masters from both Immortal and Demon Sects stood silently in place, speechless for a long time.

Faces once seasoned and inscrutable now filled with complex emotions.

Shock, regret, desolation, anger...

The ever-ongoing cycle of conflict, the endless bloodshed that saw countless deaths, the immortal and demon traditions, originally stemmed from one source and were of one entity!

"Laughable! It’s utterly laughable!"

"In each Immortal Demon Tribulation, my martial uncles, masters, countless fellow disciples, fought valiantly and died!"

"They died too unjustly! Their deaths were too worthless!"

Everyone felt a chill to their bones.

Yet they knew that the real Immortal-Demon war was a lesser evil.

The so-called immortal-demon opposition and Dao tradition war were at least meant to cultivate golden seeds as part of a grand scheme.

More insidious than cultivating was the direct intervention of Immortal Monarchs, who devoured both Purple Mansion veins and altered the world’s perceptions to erase all traces afterward.

...

On the platform.

Chen Hua stood silently, his face slightly pale, yet his posture remained upright, and his demeanor unchanged.

He coughed lightly and spoke in a calm voice, his words clear amidst the tumultuous emotions of the crowd,:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the dust has settled, today’s ceremony ends here, please return to your respective mountains."

The crowd, hearing this, regained their composure, with no one daring to dissent.

Although Chen Hua was unsuccessful in seeking gold today, he remained the ’number one Purple Mansion in the world,’ still capable of dominating the era.

Moreover, Chen Hua, having used ’special means’ to trap a True Monarch, survived.

This point made him immensely feared!!

"Farewell!"

"Goodbye, Dao brother!!"

A group of cultivators, their minds complex and filled with shock, bowed in respect, then transformed into a myriad of Escape Lights, gradually dispersing into the Cloud Sea.

...

The clamor slowly subsided, and the Cloud Sea returned to tranquility.

Chen Hua gazed at the vast empty sky, shaking his head lightly, a deep worry flashed in his eyes:

"The world... is in for tumult again."

He saw further and more clearly than anyone.

Because of the machinations of the one in the gray fog, the Taiyin Immortal Monarch was in a dire state and would have already altered the truth otherwise.

Among those present, perhaps few were aware of the changes above the Golden Position.

But to become a Purple Mansion True Master, no one was a fool, everyone capable of perceiving where the opportunity lay.

Taiyin faces adversity!!

Right now, is the best window to seek gold!

It can be foreseen that it won’t be long before the Great True Masters of both veins will look to exhaust their lifetime accumulations, gathering momentum to fiercely compete for the Golden Position.

By then, surely it will be a sea of blood!!

Chen Hua repressed his emotions, turned to look at Yuan Hong, Hu Butu, and Zhu Dahua standing solemnly by his side, and said in a low voice:

"You all, follow me."

"Yes! Master!"

The three responded in unison, closely following Chen Hua as they stepped into the core Secret Realm of the Evergreen Immortal Sect.
