Chapter 1359: The Truth of the Turtle Treasure Pattern

"So that's how it is."

After listening to what the White Fish Boy said, Venerable Spirit's face showed both surprise and enlightenment. Although she had long anticipated that with Chen Mobai's talent, reaching the Void Refinement stage wouldn't be difficult, the fact that he could manipulate the void upon his return without her even detecting it truly showed he was worthy of being a Congenital Void Spirit Body. How fortunate was the Earth Origin Star to have given birth to such a peerless immortal physique!

Amidst her exclamations, Venerable Spirit also noticed that the primordial spirits of top cultivators from various holy lands had entered the Nine Heavens Tribulation of the Heavenly River Realm, investigating what had just happened with the ascension spiritual light. Although it had suddenly disappeared, its initial landing point could still be roughly determined, so many primordial spirit dharma manifestations were heading towards the Xuanhai region of the Eastern Continent.

Venerable Spirit couldn't be bothered with this. She merely sent out her giant Kun avatar, which landed on the Xuanhai, lying like a massive island. Its aura overflowed, signifying that this was her territory. The many Soul Transformation cultivators surging from the Five Continents and Four Seas stopped in their tracks upon seeing this, avoiding getting too close to prevent being misunderstood by Venerable Spirit. After all, this was one of the few contemporary Void Refinement cultivators in the Heavenly River Realm, a formidable expert who even dared to face the Jellyfish Palace.

The Eastern Earth Emperor shook his head, similarly not bothering to get involved. Dong Junyu and Chen Mobai were considered fellow Daoists from Zhongzhou. Therefore, not wanting to see Chen Mobai go astray, Dong Junyu offered a word of caution.

The one speaking was Chen Mobai from the Grand Void Immortal Palace. Before he finished, all the cultivators present from the Eastern Continent looked at the Eastern Earth Emperor, who had been silent until then. Also present were the Lord of the Central Demonic Path, True Lord Tianling, and others, whose enmity with Ziyuntian was not small.

"If the Congenital Life and Death Dao was restored and the Three Thousand Grand Daos were broken, wouldn't the Heavenly River Realm undergo even greater changes?"

However, with the cultivation of a top Eastern Continent cultivator, it would be easy to secretly transmit messages under True Monarch Wuchen's nose. Thus, Dong Junyu used the process of elimination to determine that Ziyuntian was the culprit who leaked the news. The deeper his cultivation, the more awe Dong Junyu felt for those Pure Yang, or even transcendent, grand powers.

However, Ziyuntian's successful Void Refinement greatly encouraged True Monarch Wuchen. This indicated that the Indestructible Pill he refined had excellent efficacy. He hid in his Dharma Realm, and sure enough, after avoiding the ascension spiritual light, he observed the void of his Dharma Realm through the perspective of the Void Sky Rail. The cultivators from the Eastern Continent nodded in understanding, waved to Chen Mobai, and then dispersed within their respective four-layered heavenly tribulations.

"The Five Elements Sect and the Four Heaven Demon Extermination Sect are allies. If I were to act against the Four Heaven Demon Extermination Sect, I would inevitably face Huang Junyu. However, the trump card I brought from the prison cannot be used against him. Therefore, it's best to find some like-minded Dao friends."

"My husband is still in seclusion; I haven't seen him either."

Qing Nan could only reply to True Monarch Wuchen this way, and the latter was slightly disappointed. Amidst the crisscrossing divine senses of the many Soul Transformation cultivators in the Heavenly River Realm, all information had been synthesized, leading to the closest answer.

Being with the Turtle Treasure for years, he had been constantly immersed in the Dao of the Void. The void spirit patterns on the turtle shell had, over these long years, imprinted themselves one by one into his very bones, subtly transforming him into a complete entity. Within his Dharma Realm, the void was even purer than that of the Heavenly River Realm, only imbued with the Grand Daos he had comprehended, such as Holy Virtue and Yin-Yang. It was at this moment that Ziyuntian finally understood why, after cultivating for eight hundred years, he had suddenly become a Congenital Void Spirit Body.

Thinking of this, Ziyuntian no longer hesitated. He immediately cast the Grand Dao of Pure Yang, solidifying his eighth-grade Void Dharma Body, making it eternally unyielding. Purple Sky Demon King speculated that the Demon Venerable might have already reached the Void Refinement stage, believing that the good days for their Barren Sea Demon Race were about to begin. He was already contemplating re-exterminating the resurgent Myriad Star Alliance and even expelling all the stationed troops of the Jade Pearl Immortal Alliance.

The Three Thousand Grand Daos had long since completed their evolution; only the Grand Dao of Congenital Life and Death remained incomplete because it had been damaged in the past. After Dong Junyu encountered the Lord of the Central Demonic Path, Chen Mobai immediately sought out True Monarch Wuchen. The latter swore that it had absolutely nothing to do with him and even stated that to ensure Madam Yuwen's safe return, he had proactively used eighth-grade Shoumei Immortal Tea to keep Feng Qingsu, Ziyuntian, and the others. This step was absolutely necessary in the Soul Transformation Universe.

Very quickly, the news of Emperor Chen Gui's Void Refinement spread within the circles of the major holy lands. Beneath the turtle shell, dark patterns corresponded one by one with the void spirit patterns, which numbered according to the heavenly cycles within his body, perfectly aligning with the external Grand Dao of the Void. After all, the Grand Void Immortal Palace had connections with him. Refining the void within his own Dharma Realm presented almost no difficulty. However, such a Void Refinement realm would only exist within that Dharma Realm.

After achieving Void Refinement, Ziyuntian finally gained some insight into this item. After a brief pause, Ziyuntian decided to set it aside for now and try it after he achieved Void Refinement. After all, Feng Qingsu and Yuwen Yin had no grievances, and the two women even had a good relationship.

As the Demon Venerable spoke, he looked up from among the countless corpses of cultivators in the Myriad Star Alliance at the Barren Sea Great Canyon, gazing towards Jade Pearl with a cold, sharp light in his eyes. Ziyuntian suddenly realized that this reorganization of the Six Paths of Reincarnation might mean that the Patriarch of the Four Heaven Demon Extermination Sect was also a pawn in the game of various grand powers.

After reaching Void Refinement, he immediately hid in his Dharma Realm, and the ascension spiritual light, unable to find its true owner, naturally disappeared. But how could the ascension spiritual light disappear? One must know that after reaching Void Refinement, either one continuously conceals their Void Refinement fluctuations, or once triggered, ascension is certainly expected!

The Demon Venerable's aura, compared to before entering the prison, was even more profound and vast. Dong Jun Demon King looked at him as if facing a boundless, vast land, feeling only immeasurable depth. No wonder the Dharma Realm divine ability was so powerful; once enemies were drawn into it, it became one's home ground.

"Has he reached Void Refinement?" This time, the one closest to the Dao, who veiled the clouds, was the last to arrive.

The Grand Dao of Holy Virtue within his own Dharma Realm originated from himself. The Heavenly River Realm had already been occupied by Sage Qianqiu. Even if the latter was a true sage of high moral character, Dong Junyu did not want to expose everything about himself to others. Moreover, the successful patriarchs of the Daoist Sect who left behind insights on the Indestructible Pill had differing perspectives. It was precisely his greatest reliance in cultivation: the Turtle Treasure.

In the Barren Sea Great Canyon, the Demon Venerable, who had just emerged from the prison, fell into contemplation upon hearing the news about his neighbor, as relayed by his disciple, Purple Sky Demon King. For example, True Monarch Fuhai and Zhao Nansheng, master and disciple, worked tirelessly, intending to send Ziyuntian to ascend. Yet, the latter, having reached Void Refinement, forcefully stayed behind by relying on his Dharma Realm, making all their efforts futile. If not for this, having broken free from the constraints of the sea eye, he would probably have vomited blood. For example, the Dharma Realm.

Only he could cause Venerable Spirit to issue a warning, preventing them from disturbing the Azure Emperor's consolidation of his realm. Yes, it was just like that. Ziyuntian naturally didn't know that his unintentional action had caused the Heavenly River Realm to consider him a Void Refinement cultivator. And among them, the most likely candidate was undoubtedly Emperor Chen Gui. In other words, was the turtle shell a congenital spiritual treasure representing the Grand Dao of the Void?

However, to avoid being discovered by the True Immortal Dao Lords of the Immortal Realm, even within the Yuwen clan, this prophecy was not passed down. They only knew that the Dongjun Dragon Vein was extremely important, and those who ascended by cultivating the Emperor's Scroll with it would be taken by the Heavenly Emperor and carefully nurtured. The few who successfully ascended left only fragmented words because most of their time was spent analyzing Dao fruits, leaving legacies, and making arrangements for the future.

"Fellow Daoist, among the many seniors who ascended from the Seven Continents and Four Seas, the most who died in the Tribulation of Inner Demons were..."

Chen Mobai snorted coldly and transformed directly into a vast purple aura and light, disappearing into the four-layered heaven.

"One who digs his own grave cannot live."

"Hopefully, after reaching Void Refinement, I will know the truth of the Heavenly River Realm."

It became clear. Qing Nan, who came from an immortal sect, loved to buy several houses as investments once she had spirit stones. The branch offices of Danxia Pavilion, which spread across major immortal cities, were also built by directly buying land. After several rounds of property value appreciation, even without the Dragon Palace treasure possessed by Dong Junyu, Qing Nan remained the wealthiest woman in Jade Pearl.

It was precisely for this reason that the Yuwen clan of the Grand Void Immortal Palace had originally separated a branch, leading the Zhongzhou human race across the sea to Jade Pearl to establish the Eastern Wilderness Azure Court.

"What does fellow Daoist mean by that?"

Even from the Daoist Sect, True Monarch Wuchen personally sent a communication talisman to Qing Nan, inquiring about the matter.

"If it truly doesn't work, then perhaps I'll have no choice but to risk endless karmic entanglement and unleash that thing." He then placed himself under his own rules.

Throughout the tens of thousands of years of the Daoist Sect's history, fewer than ten furnaces of Indestructible Pills had been refined, most of which were produced for the Eastern Wilderness Azure Court, with the sect itself not benefiting from even a single pill. Moreover, after consuming them, many senior patriarchs mostly experienced their physical bodies collapsing during breakthrough, and their primordial spirits dissolving into the Grand Dao.

Knowing that his carefully considered choices might already be predestined by a grand power at the end of fate. Now, he had discovered something even more novel. Chen Mobai laughed, but did not continue speaking.

Thanks to this, the housing prices within the Five Elements Sect's territory, which had initially stabilized, suddenly surged again, doubling the net worth of homeowners and strengthening their sense of belonging to the Five Elements Sect. There was no stifled bitterness. And now, the leyline of the Five Elements Sect had already expanded with the sect, penetrating Eastern Wilderness, Eastern Yi, Eastern Wu, Eastern Yue, and Eastern Yi, and was still continuously developing, encompassing Xuanhai and Barren Sea. Ziyuntian thought of this point: theoretically, the Heavenly River Realm's Dharma Realm of the Jellyfish was merely almost perfect compared to his own Dharma Realm.

This led to True Monarch Wuchen not having full confidence and assurance in taking the Indestructible Pill. Thinking of this, Ziyuntian reached out, and a silvery light shimmered, settling into his palm. After the Indestructible Pill was successfully refined, True Monarch Wuchen had been refining his own Grand Dao all these years to ensure the pill's efficacy would be perfectly utilized. Hearing this news, he wondered if he could meet Ziyuntian to ask about his experience with taking the Indestructible Pill. Moreover, since he had received a tailor-made Pure Yang Scroll in the Soul Transformation Palace from a Soul Transformation Dao Venerable and had chosen the Grand Dao of Holy Virtue, it was evident that all fate was already sealed.

Everyone clearly remembered that Emperor Chen Gui had mastered this divine ability. After Chen Mobai deciphered the Golden Palace Jade Book and learned about the formation of the Eastern Wilderness Dragon Vein from Wuchang Zhai, he instructed Yuwen Yin to bring Yuwen Baozhi to Dongjun, intending to use the Five Elements Sect's dragon vein to lay the foundation for the Emperor's Scroll. Even Mingzun expressed regret; he now feared Ziyuntian.

It seems there was no mistake; it was the Azure Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness who triggered the ascension spiritual light.

"Oh, you didn't know this? The condition for triggering the ascension spiritual light is the undeniable fluctuation caused by the fusion of a Void Refinement cultivator's primordial spirit and the void. It was senior True King Taixu who set this rule back then..."

"Next, I need to prepare my primordial spirit to step into the Grand Dao of Holy Virtue."

"It doesn't mean anything; just telling you all this cold knowledge."

Ziyuntian, however, felt that it was more than that; the Grand Dao of the Void was just the truth of the patterns on the turtle shell. To know more, he probably needed to completely refine the Turtle Treasure. If he were in Yu Qi, he wouldn't hold back.

"I have a life-and-death feud with the Four Heaven Demon Extermination Sect. This time, Yuan Qingque is leading the reorganization of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the Patriarch of the Four Heaven Demon Extermination Sect is certifying a Congenital Grand Dao. I absolutely cannot let him succeed."

With the topic turned to their own sect, the Eastern Earth Emperor had to speak up; it was as if their Grand Void Ethereal Palace could manipulate the ascension spiritual light. The Eastern Earth Emperor frowned, glancing at Dong Junyu. Ever since his wife's Indestructible Pill was stolen last time, he had suspected that people from Jade Pearl leaked the information to the Lord of the Central Demonic Path.

"Hmph, how could mere inner demons ever harm a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor like me?"

Of course, the one who benefited the most was Qing Nan. It was just a pity that his current level was still too low. Therefore, when the Human Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness Azure Court died in battle, and its thousands of years of foundation were destroyed, it caused the Heavenly Emperor in the upper realm to fly into a rage. But everyone present had already understood his meaning.

What if a Pure Yang Dharma Realm contained another Pure Yang?

When Qing Nan heard True Monarch Wuchen mention Ziyuntian reaching Void Refinement, she was confused. Only after asking Venerable Spirit did she understand what had happened. In response, the cultivators of the Jade Pearl Immortal Alliance were greatly encouraged. They all understood that as long as Emperor Chen Gui existed, no great demon or monster would dare to land on the Jade Pearl Continent.

Most importantly, Chen Mobai's cultivation had improved earlier, allowing him to comprehend a page of the Golden Palace Jade Book left by the Heavenly Emperor in the Grand Void Immortal Palace. It contained a glimpse of the future the Heavenly Emperor saw when he comprehended the Grand Dao of Destiny.

"Congratulations, Master, on reaching a higher level of cultivation. Even if Dong Junyu has reached Void Refinement, limited by the Heavenly River Realm's Dao rules, he can only make one move at most. Master can freely exit and enter the Barren Sea Eye, so there's no need to fear him."

It was said that the successor to the next Heavenly Emperor would ascend from Jade Pearl.
