Chapter 187 - 169: Great Yellow Court Perfection, Twenty-four Gods Great Success!

Chapter 187: Chapter 169: Great Yellow Court Perfection, Twenty-four Gods Great Success!

Only Chen Fuyao remained. However, this final opponent was exceptionally powerful.

BOOM!

The battle between Chen Sha and this Ancestral Master lasted from daylight within the Cosmic Light Fragments deep into the night. Chen Sha was bolstered by the blood qi of the Demon Sect’s Holy Blood, his cultivation of the Great Yellow Court, hundreds of variations from the Dao Yi Seal, the external power of his Beidou Killing Body, nearly three hundred years of Power, and his self-created move—Broken Void!

And this Ancestral Master only had one thing... The Great Yellow Court cultivated to Perfection.

He had even taken a step beyond the foundation of the Twenty-four Gods, reaching the level of twenty-five gods. This consisted of the Twenty-four Body Gods plus one Guardian God, the Jiazi Tai Sui.

Chen Fuyao’s martial arts techniques were not overly complex, consisting of just some ordinary Daoist Hand Seals. However, under the enhancement of a physique containing twenty-four gods and a Guardian God, every strike carried immeasurable might. This suppression was not just physical; more importantly, the Guardian God faintly merged with his spirit, imposing an overwhelming pressure on Chen Sha’s mind.

Under such intense confrontation, Chen Sha continued to fight for a full day and night. Although his body sustained injuries, his will to fight and combat prowess remained unaffected.

Finally, it came down to this one move!

BANG!

The two collided their fists in the void. It was a silent clash. Immediately after, their bodies trembled wildly before they each took ten steps back.

Chen Fuyao’s faint sigh echoed in the air. "In terms of realm, I am a level above you. In terms of martial prowess, you can bridge the gap with that Broken Fist Technique. However, when it comes to stamina and endurance, I’m afraid you could fight like this for ten days and ten nights, whereas I would find it somewhat difficult...

"Therefore, fighting to the bitter end, you would still have strength left while mine would be exhausted. The saying goes that ’fists fear the young and vigorous’—this is truly a supreme principle in martial arts."

Chen Sha had originally planned to rely on his superior stamina and endurance to win this battle. He never expected this Ancestral Master to admit defeat on his own. Chen Sha was completely caught off guard.

CRACK!

After hearing those words, Chen Sha looked at Chen Fuyao in astonishment. He glanced at the surrounding heaven and earth, which had begun to shatter, before turning back to see his own body dissipating.

In that fleeting moment, Chen Fuyao seemed to understand something and muttered to himself, "So that’s how it is. Neither of us belongs here; we are just reflections of the moon in the water. No wonder, no wonder..."

Along with his relieved expression, Chen Sha looked at the deep meaning in the other’s eyes before he vanished. It seemed to contain something he couldn’t quite see through. Then, the surrounding void shattered, signaling that he had cleared the scene.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader, for successfully clearing Zhang Daoxuan’s second Chapter, ’Three Religions’ Joint Ascension Chart,’ and successfully unlocking the third Chapter, ’Broken Xuandang Mountain.’

"Because the Sect Leader successfully defeated the ten key figures in this scene, the dropped items for this scene are..."

Lines of text cascaded down from the Southern Heavenly Gate. Chen Sha couldn’t help but exhale a long breath of foul air. He had finally reached the most comfortable part: reaping the rewards for clearing the stage.

This challenge was the hardest he had ever encountered. There were a total of ten Great Innate experts, who were also the Three Religious Leaders from the End of the Ninth Tribulation Era. Most importantly, he had unexpectedly gained a direction toward the "Six Ding and Six Jia" and "Four Tai Sui" from Ancestral Master Chen Fuyao.

At this moment, Chen Sha was filled with immense anticipation, hoping that the rewards related to Ancestral Master Chen Fuyao would include the subsequent cultivation methods for the Great Yellow Court.

As the surrounding environment shrank, it transformed into wisps of primordial gas that coalesced into various items right before his eyes. Chen Sha inspected them one by one:

Zhang Daoxuan dropped [Sixty Years of Power].

Qii Taizhen dropped [Emei’s Mysterious Finger Chapter].

Zheng Qiongjing dropped [Brocade Land and River Qi Storage Record].

Zhou Bairu dropped [Vast Sword Qi].

Jia Yi dropped [Sincere Heart Method].

Weituo Divine Monk dropped [Tai’e Vajra Four Truths].

Wujie Divine Monk dropped [Twenty Buddha’s Relics].

Nun Chunyin dropped [Pure Sound Treasure Gauze].

Monk Guangxiao dropped [Ten Lands Scripture].

Chen Fuyao dropped [Great Yellow Court].

And... one Cosmic Light Fragment.

Returning his Heart Spirit to the Sect Leader’s Hall, Chen Sha looked at the eleven items before him. Leaving the Cosmic Light Fragment aside, there were seven Cultivation Techniques dropped by the ten people.

Chen Sha flipped through them one by one. Each of them was astonishing, filled with imaginative Martial Arts that the Divine Land had never seen before. Yet, they shared an intricate, inseparable connection with the Martial Arts of the Divine Land.

For example, the Emei’s Mysterious Finger Chapter emphasized the realm of "mystery at the fingertips," which was a profound Daoist Cultivation Technique akin to a Small Divine Ability.

The Brocade Land and River Qi Storage Record was similar to the path Wang Zaixiang cultivated. It involved harboring the essence of mountains, rivers, and natural phenomena in one’s heart. A single breath exhaled carried the imposing aura of ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers, truly dominating!

The Vast Sword Qi was a Sword Technique from the Confucian Sect that focused heavily on Heart Nature. It emphasized that the strength of the Sword Qi was directly proportional to the strength of the Sword Intent. If a Swordsman’s Sword Heart and Sword Intent reached a state of boundless vastness, a single strike would make them "invincible in the world," echoing the saying that the benevolent are invincible.

After studying it for a while, Chen Sha felt it was somewhat similar to the concept of the legendary "Little Li’s Flying Knife." It was a Martial Art where, as long as one held justice in their heart, the flying knife would never miss its target. A Cultivation Technique with such strict requirements on one’s character, ideology, and Heart Nature truly befitted the ways of the Confucian Sect.

As for the Sincere Heart Method, it seemed to be a Heart Method for harmonizing one’s state of mind. However, it was only a Heart Method without an accompanying Cultivation Technique, feeling incomplete, as if a part of it was missing.

Next were the Cultivation Techniques dropped by the Buddhist monks and nuns, which amazed Chen Sha even more. The Ten Lands Scripture was clearly the original version of the Zen Pure Land’s inheritance in the Divine Land, the Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture. Just as expected, many of the religious lineages in their Divine Land were remnants from the Ninth Tribulation.

And the Tai’e Vajra Four Truths was actually... the Great Vajra Skill created by Sister Taie.

Chen Sha recalled hearing Chen Fuyao mention something within the Cosmic Light Fragments. Because Sister Taie had ascended as a Broken Great Vajra, the Broken Ascension Realm was given the Buddhist title of "Great Vajra." In contrast, Chen Fuyao had hoped to create the Daoist "Great Void" realm. Both could forcefully pry open the Celestial Gate and ascend through the broken void.

Focusing back on the Tai’e Vajra Four Truths, Chen Sha skimmed through it. It revealed that Sister Taie went through four stages when cultivating the Great Vajra Realm, hence the name Four Truths.

However, compared to this Buddhist Great Vajra inheritance, what Chen Sha valued the most was the Great Yellow Court left behind by Ancestral Master Chen Fuyao.

Opening it, his face lit up with joy. He thought, "As expected, it contains the cultivation method for the Jiazi Tai Sui Spirit Wang Ren..."

As he flipped through the pages, more surprises revealed themselves. He pondered, "It even has... many divine annotations and more detailed notes that aren’t present in our Dao Yi Mountain’s Great Yellow Court. Sure enough, the version Dao Yi Mountain obtained was one that had gone through the Heaven and Earth Tribulation. Compared to the original, it’s missing some things. This is the true original Great Yellow Court."

However, as he turned to the very end, he discovered that after the Twenty-four Gods, aside from the Jiazi Tai Sui Spirit Wang Ren having a specific cultivation method, the remaining four or five gods only had vague names. They were only referred to by the "Tai Sui Spirit names" of Jiaxu, Jiashen, Jiawu, Jiachen, Jiayin, Dingmao, Dingsi, Dingwei, Dingyou, Dinghai, and Dingchou, with no specific forms.

Clearly, in this scene, Ancestral Master Chen Fuyao was only at the level of twenty-five gods and had not yet reached the tier of cultivating all sixteen divine spirits of the "Six Ding and Six Jia, Four Tai Sui." Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Chen Sha to clear the stage.

Still, he remained highly satisfied. He thought, "Even if it only provides the cultivation direction for the Jiazi Tai Sui Spirit, it’s still the greatest harvest. The beginning is always the hardest. With such a start, I will have the confidence to create the cultivation methods for the remaining fifteen gods myself in the future..."

Recovering from the joy of the Cultivation Technique rewards, Chen Sha realized that the most important information he obtained in this scene was the truth about Ascension and the revival of heaven and earth.

He calmed his mind and thought, "If what Zhang Daoxuan said is true, then the Divine Land is about to usher in a restoration of heaven and earth."

Chen Sha looked at Long Zaitian’s Golden Body in the hall and muttered to himself, "Decades ago, my old man said the path of shattering the void was a dead end. But now, cases like Long Zaitian’s have appeared. Coupled with the fact that my old man’s tomb was empty a few days ago, does this prove that the restoration of heaven and earth has already begun?"

Originally, it was impossible for anyone to shatter the void because the Heaven and Earth Rules were flawed. It was exactly as Zhang Daoxuan had described: the Tenth Tribulation continued to decline, to the point where even a Broken Great Vajra could no longer appear.

However, with the appearance of Long Zaitian’s situation, it meant that heaven and earth had begun to change sometime within the last year or two.

He wondered, "Are the rules of past eras reviving?"

To verify his theory, Chen Sha assumed the stance of his Broken Void technique right where he stood.

Then... "Hmm?"

He could clearly feel that executing this move in the Divine Land was far less potent than the sensation he experienced in the past scene of the Cosmic Light Fragments. And yet... it wasn’t completely devoid of enhancement either. It was just that the resonance with the rules of shattering was extremely weak.

Chen Sha muttered, "It’s faint, almost imperceptible...

"Only time will tell. I just need to wait a while and then try to sense the Broken Qi Mechanism using this fist stance again. If the Qi Mechanism really increases as time passes, that would mean... the people of this generation in our Divine Land don’t need to ascend at all. We just have to wait on our own land for the rules of the past to recover bit by bit. Not only will we be able to achieve the Great Vajra Realm, but the realms of the Eighth Tribulation and the Seventh Tribulation will also become attainable alongside the restoration of heaven and earth!"

How fortunate it was that he hadn’t traveled to any of the past nine tribulation eras, but rather arrived in this specific era that countless beings of the Ninth Tribulation had been waiting for—the "era of revival."

Next, Chen Sha continued to inventory the remaining rewards. The Pure Sound Treasure Gauze was evidently a defensive item meant for women. After a simple test, he found that it could even block attacks from a Great Innate. This was clearly a treasure he could bestow upon his disciples or Senior Sister Yuu Miaolian.

As for the twenty Buddha’s Relics, he had no immediate use for them. However, Chen Sha knew they were definitely valuable, so he stored them away as well.

Following that, his first priority was to combine and utilize Zhang Daoxuan’s Sixty Years of Power with the original copy of Ancestral Master Chen Fuyao’s Great Yellow Court.

He thought, "With Sixty Years of Power and the Ancestral Master’s annotations on the divine spirits, I’m only lacking three gods to complete the Great Yellow Court. Great Success is right before my eyes!"

Chen Sha had already used Pang Saint’s Heaven and Earth Qiankun Yin Yang Copper Furnace Technique to cultivate a portion of the Left Yin Spirit and Right Yang Spirit. Now, he was only missing the final three gods: the Body God Shou Houbo, the Gallbladder God Long Deju, and the Spleen God Bao Wuquan. And in Chen Fuyao’s original Great Yellow Court, there were far more detailed descriptions regarding the cultivation of these specific divine spirits.

Just like that, using the reward of Sixty Years of Power as fuel, Chen Sha immediately began his cultivation according to the divine spirit cultivation methods in Chen Fuyao’s original Great Yellow Court. A mighty river of True Qi surged toward five different areas in his body.

Days passed by, one after another. In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

On this day, the sky over Dao Yi Mountain was clear and beautiful. Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed from the clear sky, and boundless dark clouds gathered. Violent gusts of wind swirled around Chen Sha’s Sect Leader’s Hall.

Then, a full twenty-four streaks of divine light shot out through the window lattices and paper of the Sect Leader’s Hall. Every disciple of Dao Yi Mountain could see it with their naked eyes; it was as if a Celestial God draped in twenty-four colors was born right there.

Chen Sha’s Great Yellow Court had achieved Great Success.

He had reached the realm his father once occupied. This meant that he was now capable of challenging the number one person in the world, Yuan Ruhua.
