Chapter 1163: Positioning!?

The pristine white, freshly created, was once again imbued with the colors of the Great Dao, becoming vibrant and colorful. Yet, in the end, it could not escape the fate of the Great Dao's annihilation and the universe's demise. However, after this demise, it seemed that more beings discovered this method. After breaking free from the darkness once more, they created even more pristine white.

A flicker of realization dawned on Chen Mobai. Among the Three Thousand Great Daos, some could transcend the fate of demise, capable of restarting creation after the universe collapsed.

Was this how the Exalted Master Zixiao had done it back then? After the demise of the previous cycle, did he use the Primal Yin-Yang and the Grand Void Dao to create this grand universe?

He continued to watch. Yet, he discovered that no matter how many times the pristine white was recreated, the outcome never changed. Everything would be enveloped by darkness.

Chen Mobai watched repeatedly, bewildered as to why the Purple Cloud Palace kept replaying these scenes before him.

After countless repetitions, Chen Mobai grew numb. Just as he started wondering how to leave, a change finally occurred.

In the boundless darkness, a streak of color once again carved out pristine white. However, after this new world emerged, this color merged with the Three Thousand Great Daos, which should have appeared within the pristine white, yet it did not transform into darkness. Instead, it became a chaotic gray.

This gray, however, could not be obscured by darkness.

The surging, endless darkness, paradoxically, made this gray even more vibrant. As the darkness could not annihilate it, this gray also began to freely wander and roam in the boundless black.

Was this eternity? Chen Mobai wondered with astonishment.

At this moment, everything before him vanished. Opening his eyes, he found himself back inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

Chen Mobai sat on the meditation cushion, recalling what he had just witnessed, and was greatly astonished.

He felt his conjecture was correct: this must have been the Exalted Master Zixiao's final lesson for his disciples before transcending.

At this moment, everything from the Mahayana Scripture in Chen Mobai's mind was fully comprehended.

The pristine white was the Dharma Realm. Once he evolved the Three Thousand Great Daos within his own Dharma Realm, he could attempt creation. The chaotic gray formed by the fusion of the Three Thousand Great Daos was precisely the power of creation spoken of by the Exalted Master Zixiao. It was also the key to transcending and achieving eternity.

However, the Mahayana Scripture only contained methods for evolving the Three Thousand Great Daos and enabling the universe to reach Mahayana.

Chen Mobai still lacked the most crucial method: how to fuse the Three Thousand Great Daos into the power of creation.

Among the many students in the Purple Cloud Palace, it seemed only the senior sister with blue hair and blue robes, seated in the front row, had been taught this. Furthermore, this method apparently required the mystical treasure, the Gate of Grand Void.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai took out his Turtle Treasure again.

In the Heavenly River Realm, the True King of Grand Void was searching for the Gate of Grand Void. All clues pointed to the Turtle Treasure in his hand being the Gate of Grand Void.

If this were truly the case, then apart from his cultivation realm, he would only be missing the method for achieving creation to transcend.

He wondered if the blue-haired senior sister was still around. If she had already transcended, who would he ask for this method?

Chen Mobai looked towards the deepest part of the Purple Cloud Palace, where, in front of the first row of meditation cushions, stood a stone-like green lotus.

That was the Exalted Master Zixiao's teaching seat.

Theoretically, since Daoist Dandīng possessed the Three Azure Birds Dharma Idol, Chen Mobai should have one last chance to enter the Purple Cloud Palace by borrowing his Dharma Idol.

Could he then directly ask the Exalted Master Zixiao about this?

The thought made Chen Mobai's heart pound, despite his cultivation realm.

After a good while, he regained his composure.

Next, he tried once more to see if he could gain more insights within the hall, but stuck in the last row, he couldn't move forward, only backward.

Finally, he let out a sigh.

He knew his opportunity here was exhausted.

Before preparing to leave, Chen Mobai finally couldn't resist.

"Turtle Treasure, locate!"

As he confirmed, the Turtle Treasure in his hand trembled, and then a pop-up window appeared on its screen: "Host, please confirm again."

Chen Mobai looked bewildered.

The Turtle Treasure was unusually cautious today.

According to his usual character, facing such a situation, he would prioritize stability, stop, and withdraw.

However, the opportunity within the Purple Cloud Palace was supreme for all beings in this universe; it not only contained the Dao rhythm of the Three Thousand Great Daos but even the method to transcend to eternity.

If he missed this chance, Chen Mobai couldn't guarantee that Daoist Dandīng's Three Azure Birds Dharma Idol would be able to bring him in again.

Moreover, as a student of the Purple Cloud Palace, setting a location marker in the classroom was for better learning, absolutely without other covetous thoughts. Surely, the teacher would understand.

After comforting himself this way, Chen Mobai gritted his teeth and clicked confirm again.

Immediately, the Turtle Treasure popped up another window: "This matter is of great importance. Host, please confirm again!"

Since Chen Mobai had already made up his mind, he naturally wouldn't hesitate now and pressed firmly.

Third time's the charm; after this, the Turtle Treasure finally stopped popping up windows.

Then, a familiar silver light shone from the Turtle Treasure, merging into the floor between the meditation cushions, directly facing the main door and the green lotus stone platform.

This was also the first time Chen Mobai closely observed the Turtle Treasure's localization process.

He felt a vast and mysterious power of void, attempting to form a mark similar to a teleportation array here.

To his expectation, the Turtle Treasure burst forth with unprecedented dazzling light, as if exerting tremendous effort, finally solidifying into form.

As he watched the complex and mysterious mark descend and slowly merge into the floor, and as the Purple Cloud Palace's teleportation pattern began to appear on the Turtle Treasure, Chen Mobai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was beaming with joy, a gentle breeze inexplicably appeared, lightly sweeping across the floor. The Turtle Treasure's mark, like silver dust, was effortlessly blown away by this wind, spiraling out the main door.

"Location Failed!"

The Turtle Treasure popped up these four characters, then became motionless, seemingly playing dead.

Seeing this, Chen Mobai trembled all over and immediately bowed repeatedly towards the green lotus stone platform.

"This disciple is ignorant; please forgive me, Teacher!"

"Since you left, Teacher, the Purple Cloud Palace has been drifting in the universe, mostly empty and uninhabited. This disciple feared there might be dust, so I thought of coming in to clean it when I had time."

"This disciple primarily wishes to inherit your legacy, Teacher, to tirelessly propagate your teachings, and to promote the spirit of the Purple Cloud Palace..."

Chen Mobai rattled on, filled with regret, wondering how he, who had been cautious his whole life, suddenly became greedy at this moment.

It was all the Turtle Treasure's fault; if it hadn't popped up the window, none of this would have happened.

Just as he was trembling with apprehension, another gentle breeze swept in, though this time from behind him.

While pleading for mercy, Chen Mobai inadvertently glanced back, then his eyes widened, and his mouth fell open.

He saw a puff of silver dust, carried by the breeze from outside the door, land on the spot where the Turtle Treasure had tried to set its location mark. Like time reversing, it re-formed into the teleportation mark.

*Ding!*

The Turtle Treasure, which had been silent and playing dead, suddenly popped up another window: "Congratulations, Host, location successful!"

This left Chen Mobai both startled and overjoyed. Startled by how it suddenly succeeded. Overjoyed that it had actually worked!

But soon, he realized.

It must have been his sincere and heartfelt words earlier that moved Teacher Zixiao and recognized him as a worthy inheritor of the legacy.

"This disciple kowtows in gratitude to Teacher! I will surely live up to your trust and spread the teachings of the Purple Cloud Palace throughout the heavens!"

Chen Mobai, inspired by sudden enlightenment, bowed repeatedly towards the empty green lotus stone platform. At this moment, the Purple Cloud Palace's teleportation pattern on the Turtle Treasure's interface had also fully formed.

In an instant, Chen Mobai felt a dizzying sensation, and then he had already left the Purple Cloud Palace.

"Junior Brother, you're finally out."

Qi Yuheng's voice, filled with joyful surprise, reached his ears. Chen Mobai found himself standing just outside the threshold of the Purple Cloud Palace, though from there, without stepping inside, he couldn't see anything within.

He turned and was slightly startled.

"Old Ancestor."

Chen Mobai saw Chen Xingxing seated on the Grand Void Dao Platform. He naturally recognized at once that it was Qianxing controlling the body now and immediately greeted him.

"Chunyang, how were your gains?"

Qianxing nodded, asking with great anticipation.

"I saw the end of the Great Dao!"

Chen Mobai thought for a moment and used this phrase as a summary.

The mysteries of eternity were still too distant for the current immortal cultivators. Moreover, Chen Mobai didn't know the current situation of the blue-haired senior sister who had received the teachings back then.

Chen Mobai even speculated that after Exalted Master Zixiao transcended, the powerful figures of their Purple Cloud lineage might engage in internal strife over this.

If the Turtle Treasure in his hand truly was the Gate of Grand Void, then as his cultivation realm grew higher, he would undoubtedly face increasing danger.

"It's good that you gained something. Junior Sister's judgment is truly excellent. The next cultivator to reach Void Refinement in the Immortal Sect will undoubtedly be you."

Upon hearing this, Qianxing, assuming Chen Mobai's gains were similar to Bai Guang's in seeing the path to Void Refinement, looked relieved.

"Old Ancestor, won't you go in and try?"

Chen Mobai asked, as in his view, with Qianxing's wisdom and accumulation from his previous life, he shouldn't be inferior to Bai Guang.

"I'm stuck at the threshold."

Qianxing said with a helpless expression, standing up from the Dao Platform.

"I see. What about Senior Brother Qi?"

Chen Mobai looked at Qi Yuheng, who had one foot on the Dao Platform and one foot still on the steps, and asked curiously.

"Alas, I'm useless; I can't get up there."

Qi Yuheng's words made Chen Mobai repeatedly protest that it wasn't so.

If he was useless, then cultivators like Narcissus Chengxuan would be even worse.

"I'll give it one last try."

Qianxing looked towards the Purple Cloud Palace and said with a solemn expression. While Chen Mobai was inside the palace, Qianxing had been comprehending the Grand Void Dao Platform, subtly establishing a connection with his own illusory Dao.

"Old Ancestor, based on Bai Guang's and my experience, inside the hall is..."

Chen Mobai shared his speculation that all answers could be found within the Purple Cloud Palace, to prevent Qianxing from missing this greatest opportunity after entering.

"Hmm, I'll give it a try. It's not certain..."
