Chapter 2789 - 1292: The Heavenly Sovereign’s Condition
Chen Mobai received it solemnly and opened it.
After all, he represented the identity of the Heavenly Venerate’s disciple in the Tianhe Realm, and the intelligence concerning the Grandmaster must be treated seriously.
After opening the seventh volume, Chen Mobai realized that his choice seemed both right and wrong.
Because what was recorded appeared to be related to the Great Dao of the Heavenly Sovereign.
Clearly, in the Tianhe Realm, the Great Dao is of utmost importance, and it is precisely for this reason that it was listed as a separate volume.
It expounded on the fact that the Heavenly Sovereign is the Transformation of Spirit Plant, innately Sixth Rank, possessing the Great Dao of Life, with an endless lifespan. Unfortunately, the authority concerning life and death in this world is controlled by the Ghost Mother, so the Heavenly Sovereign has always been unable to achieve Harmonization.
And the Ghost Mother, overestimating herself, after challenging the Mother of Water and meeting her demise, left the Great Dao of Life and Death empty. Should the Heavenly Sovereign wish to achieve Harmonization with the Great Dao of Life, he would likely succeed and might now be a True Immortal with Great Ability ruling a part of the Immortal Realm.
However, before Harmonization, the Heavenly Sovereign consulted the Mother of Water and learned that the Great Dao of Life is merely an Acquired Great Dao. Moreover, since the Great Dao of Life and Death in this world is incomplete, after Harmonization, until the Great Dao is complete, it is impossible to advance further.
To reach higher achievements, the Heavenly Sovereign decided to choose a path to Transcendence, directly Harmonizing with the Innate Life and Death, taking up the authority of the Ghost Mother.
But taking this step led directly to a peculiar state of neither living nor dying.
If it were anyone else, they might not understand this, but the Impermanence Pavilion is a Ghost Cultivator force, and although Ming Luo the Grandmaster was raised by the Mother of Water, he would often delve into the Netherworld to communicate with other sons of the Ghost Mother, thereby understanding the key to this.
Though the Ghost Mother has died, the Innate Life and Death Great Dao was progressively evolved by her, this Innate Sacred. So after the Heavenly Sovereign achieved Harmonization, he must gather and merge the residual soul true spirits of the Ghost Mother scattered across the land, and transform himself into a second Ghost Mother to fully take charge of this Great Dao.
However, in doing so, it’s unknown how much personal consciousness the Heavenly Sovereign would retain.
Thus, the Heavenly Sovereign chose another path, using a long time to alter the Innate Life and Death Great Dao with his own being.
This is akin to reshaping the Great Dao, a feat even the Generation Emperor cannot accomplish.
And precisely because of this, the Heavenly Sovereign silently disappeared deep within the Innate Life and Death Great Dao.
As time moves forward, what will transpire next, even Ming Luo, the Grandmaster of this Impermanence Pavilion, does not know.
Perhaps the Heavenly Sovereign will return after reshaping the Great Dao, or perhaps he might be completely assimilated by the Innate Life and Death Great Dao.
Since none can tread into the Great Dao of Life and Death to observe the present circumstances of the Heavenly Sovereign, it has been recorded as this peculiar state of neither living nor dying.
This is the content of the first half of the documentation. After Chen Mobai finished reading, he thought it worthwhile.
Not surprising for him, every choice he made could bring about the best results.
The Saintly Virtue Great Dao is particularly reliable in this aspect.
"Friend’s luck is indeed good, the latter half of this documentation also writes about Ming Luo Grandmaster’s conjectures on assisting to perfect the Innate Life and Death Great Dao, potentially helping the Heavenly Sovereign break free from this state..." Dong Tai evidently intended to make a good connection with Chen Mobai. After giving the documentation, he waited with a smile for him to finish reading.
Upon hearing this, although Chen Mobai would certainly not assist the Heavenly Sovereign in liberation under unknown circumstances, his curiosity led him to continue reading.
The latter half of the documentation records content regarding the Innate Life and Death Great Dao.
No wonder it requires Seventh Rank knowledge to exchange. In the Tianhe Realm, this is regarded as the most precious knowledge of the Seventh Rank.
The content concerning the Great Dao in the Tianhe Realm is all transmitted by the Mother of Water, and all of Ming Luo’s speculations are derived based on this.
Among the three thousand Great Daos, forty-nine belong to the Innate Great Dao, while all Acquired Great Daos are born of the evolution of Innate Great Daos.
Using very simple mathematical principles, it is approximately that each Innate Great Dao can disperse into 60 Acquired Great Daos like a tree diagram.
In other words, a Daoist Monarch harmonized with the Innate Great Dao can regulate 60 True Immortals.
Of course, the actual situation is not so, because some Innate Great Dao branches are more in number while others are less, and many Acquired Great Daos are born from the intertwining and merging of several Innate Great Daos, potentially having more than one Daoist Monarch.
But in this world’s cultivation to the top, this is currently the situation.
Originally, when there was only the Tianhe Realm without the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, those who harmonized with the Acquired Great Dao were merely titled "True Immortal", while the Innate Great Dao could bear the title of "Dao Monarch".
But after the Generation Emperor ascended to power, having obtained assistance from many True Immortals, he grandly distributed titles, allowing many Grandmasters of great sects and Holy Lands to directly receive the title of Dao Monarch.
And since it was the Generation Emperor who conferred it, this Dao Monarch title is more legitimate than self-designated wild titles. So since then, there has been no clear boundary between True Immortal Dao Monarchs. Only in a few of the oldest forces have maintained this distinction.
Though the Innate Great Dao can regulate related Acquired Great Daos, if a True Immortal does not submit, there is nothing that can be done, as they are undying after achieving Harmonization, and at most, they can only be suppressed.
Currently, in the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, none of the Daoist Monarchs possess the thunderous means of the Mother of Water that can kill Harmonized existences.
However, even with this being the case, suppression is not a good thing. That kind of dark and sunless life is a place no living being wishes to endure, so True Immortals generally maintain the proper respect when faced with Dao Monarchs.
Directly tearing the face and taking up the magic artifacts for reasoning battles rarely happens.
In this situation, the Dao Monarch can restrain the true immortals under his command related to the relevant Great Dao.
Why is the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest the opinion leader of the Central State Holy Land, if not because the Thousand-Autumn Saint harmonized the Innate Saintly Virtue Great Dao, and under his command are several disciples who are seventh-rank true immortals with strong power.
As for the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, there’s no need to mention it. The Taixu True King is eighth-rank Pure Yang, with seventh-rank true immortals extending from two Innate Great Daos, in larger numbers. However, because the Innate Great Dao has been occupied by the Taixu True King, there is no resident Dao Monarch, reflected in the Tianhe Realm, making the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest the leader of the Central State.
The relation between the Innate Great Dao and the Acquired Great Dao is mutual.
For example, although the Ghost Mother has fallen, some of her nine sons born earlier have already been arranged with acquired Great Daos related to life and death, and after lurking in the depths of the Netherworld for thousands of years, they possess seventh-rank strength.
These seventh-rank sons of the Ghost Mother can use their own Great Dao to complement the influence belonging to the Innate Life and Death Great Dao.
In the past, when the Mother of Water bitterly killed the Ghost Mother, it also caused the Life and Death Great Dao of this world to be damaged, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation incomplete. Therefore, to avoid calamity, the Mother of Water did not completely annihilate the nine sons of the Ghost Mother.
If completely exterminated, the cycle of life and death in this world would collapse entirely. Without reincarnation, it would quickly become a Netherworld with only the undead, and the creation of the world would naturally fail.
Moreover, the Mother of Water guided the Heavenly Sovereign to harmonize the Innate Life and Death.
With their combined efforts, the broken cycle of life and death can be repaired and completed at the fastest speed.
Turns out, the Heavenly Sovereign was schemed against by the Mother of Water!
Upon seeing this, Chen Mobai suddenly realized.
He felt even more at ease.
Considering the level of the Mother of Water, being the successor of Master Zi Xiao, her scheming would surely entrap the Heavenly Sovereign.
Having confidence in his elder sister, Chen Mobai no longer felt worried about the Heavenly Sovereign’s line.
But after reading the last part of the dossier, his scalp went numb.
It stated that upon restructuring the Disk of Life and Death, when the Six Paths of Reincarnation are completed, the Innate Life and Death Great Dao that was once broken by the Mother of Water would be perfected in this moment.
And under this circumstance, the Heavenly Sovereign might awaken.
But what awakens might be the Heavenly Sovereign, or it might be the Heavenly Sovereign influenced by the residual soul of the Ghost Mother, or perhaps, directly the rebirth of the Ghost Mother.
And none of these three situations can be considered good news for Chen Mobai.
There’s a line for the Heavenly Sovereign, who might have consumed the entire Longevity Sect to maintain his consciousness.
As for the Ghost Mother, there’s no need to mention—she’s a pure antagonist.
Both Chen Mobai and the Mother of Water are under the Purple Cloud Sect, and if conditions allow, they definitely need to strike hard against the Ghost Mother’s reincarnation.
[Why is my elder sister’s hand so unclean?]
Chen Mobai muttered two sentences to himself and reread the dossier from beginning to end, making sure there were no omissions before rolling it up again with a solemn expression and handing it to Dong Tai in front of him.
"How is it?"
After Dong Tai took the dossier, he pointed to the other six scrolls, which recorded more information on the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Innate Life and Death Great Dao, and even many acquired Great Daos belonging to them.
In the entire Tianhe Realm, only the Impermanence Pavilion contains such knowledge about the Great Dao.
Dong Tai firmly believes that this is a temptation that no cultivator can refuse.
After all, Chen Mobai is the disciple of the Heavenly Sovereign. In the situation where the Saintly Virtue Great Dao has already been occupied by the Thousand-Autumn Saint, the best and fastest way to cultivate into a seventh-rank true immortal is undoubtedly the opportunity of restructuring the Disk of Life and Death this time.
As long as Chen Mobai can help the Heavenly Sovereign awaken and return, the latter will certainly not be stingy with offering an acquired Great Dao.
If it weren’t for the constraints of rules and oaths in the Impermanence Pavilion, Dong Tai would have sought the dragon long ago after learning this news.
But now, betting on Chen Mobai is not too late either.
Moreover, three sides of the Six Paths Child Plate have fallen into the hands of this Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor, seemingly an act of the Mother of Water’s providence, protecting the Heavenly Sovereign, wanting him to replace the Ghost Mother and become the ruler of the Innate Life and Death Great Dao.
In the future, if the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor thrives, he should lend a hand out of gratitude for the information revealed today.
Dong Tai doesn’t ask much, being able to cultivate into Cultivating Void is enough. Of course, if given an acquired Great Dao, he certainly wouldn’t refuse.
"As the disciple, I will try my best to assist the Heavenly Sovereign in transcendence and return!"
Chen Mobai can only maintain his persona, standing on the side of the Heavenly Sovereign.
But inside, he hopes that when the reincarnation restructure happens, neither the Heavenly Sovereign nor the Ghost Mother awakens.
