Chapter 377: Chapter 306: The Five Hundred Year Deadline Has Arrived
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and less than half a month remains until the agreed date for crossing the Spirit Realm by Chen Xihua, Golden Feather Demon Venerable, and the other three Celestial Venerables.
Inside the Golden Feather Main Hall, candlelight flickers like a bean, illuminating the gilded figure on the throne, none other than the Golden Feather Demon Venerable who has been sitting with eyes closed for three years.
His entire body is surrounded by a faint golden radiance, a sign of being linked with heaven and earth during spirit fusion, causing the floating dust in the hall to become stagnant and the air to take on a metallic weight.
Suddenly, Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s eyelashes tremble, and those gold eyes that have been silent for three years open abruptly, casting two golden beams towards the top of the hall, leaving two faint traces on the Profound Iron ceiling which slowly dissipate.
Exiting from spirit fusion, he sends out a golden light, summoning the Roc Emperor.
Before long, steady footsteps are heard outside the hall, one step at a time, causing the Profound Iron ground to tremble slightly.
Soon after, a robust figure strides into the great hall.
The man is clad in a black robe embroidered with golden-winged totem, a Yin Yang Jade Belt fastening at his waist, his handsome face adorned with a beard, adding a touch of majesty.
His aura is perfectly restrained, only when walking does a faint trace of Yin Yang Qi escape from the robe’s swinging, that person is Chen Sheng.
"Great-grandson greets the great-grandfather."
Chen Sheng walks to the center of the hall, bows, and his gesture is both standard and humble, the hem of his robe sweeps across the ground, surprising a thin stream of black and white airflow that intertwines on the ground, creating a half Tai Chi illusion which disappears instantly.
Golden Feather Demon Venerable initially raised his eyes casually, but upon seeing the black and white airflow, his pupils suddenly contract:
"This is... the Yin Yang Dao Principle embryonic form!"
His voice carries an undeniable tremble, reaching out a hand, a golden light lands on Chen Sheng’s body, carefully examining the faint Dao Rhyme, his eyes overflowing with shock and joy.
"Huan’Er, you have comprehended the embryonic form of the Yin Yang Dao Principle!"
Chen Sheng straightens up, lowers his gaze and slightly nods, his tone remains humble:
"Great-grandson recently secluded himself in the Yin Yang Treasure Bottle, sensing insights, luckily perceived a hint of the Yin Yang Dao Principle, forming this embryonic shape."
"Lucky? Hahaha!"
Golden Feather Demon Venerable throws back his head with laughter:
"Lucky indeed! Elder Ping told me a century ago that your speed of enlightenment within the Treasure Bottle is advancing rapidly, far beyond your peers."
"Unexpectedly, before departure, you have given me such a great surprise! I have no worries now!"
He understands the significance of this embryonic form very well.
The Yin Yang Dao Principle is the source of bloodline, supplemented by the "Fuyao’s Primordial Spirit" secret technique of the Golden-winged Roc race, and combined with Chen Sheng’s Half-Saint bloodline, barring unforeseen events, becoming a Divinity Transformation is securely assured.
What reassures him further is that for the past two hundred years, Chen Sheng, following the "Father of Myriad Phenomena Beasts" plan, has married into several strong clans of the Demon Race such as the Cyan Simurgh Race and the White Tiger Race, and their offspring inherit dual bloodlines with extraordinary talent.
He has uplifted the younger generation within the Demon Court, balancing favor and authority, firmly grasping the real power of the Demon Court. Now displaying such strength, even if he departs, the Demon Court can remain as stable as Mount Tai.
Chen Sheng, observing the satisfaction in Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s eyes, feels emotionally moved.
Golden Feather Demon Venerable has always treated him with sincere affection, and Chen Sheng deliberately showcased this Dao Principle embryonic form, knowing well that great-grandfather’s imminent journey is most concerned with the Demon Court’s heritage.
This is both a display of strength and a reassuring promise to the great-grandfather.
Golden Feather Demon Venerable’s laughter gradually ceases, his expression becoming solemn. He waves his hand, and a Profound Iron Token engraved with Demon Patterns flies out from his sleeve, hovering in front of Chen Sheng:
"I have announced to the outside that I am entering seclusion for cultivation, as the final preparation for crossing the Spirit Realm. After my departure, this ’Demon Venerable Order’ will be entrusted to you, and you shall wield full authority over the Demon Court."
He pauses for a moment, a hint of harshness flashes in his golden eyes:
"If any news of the crossing leaks, respond not impulsively against the rebels who defy orders."
"Bear the burden patiently, wait until you ascend to Divinity Transformation, then use thunderous means to clean up entirely and consolidate your authority!"
Chen Sheng stretches out his hand to accept the Demon Emperor Order. He bows once more, voice resolute: "Great-grandson understands! I will certainly guard the Demon Court well!"
Golden Feather Demon Venerable nods in satisfaction, waving his hand to dismiss him.
The hall returns to silence, leaving only Golden Feather Demon Venerable gazing towards the exterior of the hall, the light on his golden feathers flickering uncertainly.
...
Half a month’s time swiftly passes, the miasma in the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land grows denser than usual, lead-gray clouds hang low in the sky, shrouding the entire forbidden land in gloomy darkness.
In the center of the forbidden land, a circular clearing with a diameter of a hundred yards is encircled by an Ancient Restriction, the ground inscribed with space runes exuding a dark glow.
This place is the agreed starting point for crossing, and one of the few locations in the Great Wilderness capable of stabilizing a connection to the Great Void Space.
At present, five celestial presences powerful enough to shake heaven and earth converge here, namely the five most elite Celestial Venerables in the human world.
Golden Feather Demon Venerable is dressed in a Gilded Feather Robe, his golden wings slightly vibrating atop his head, his gaze ardently fixed on the youthful Sword Cultivator dressed in a cyan gray Daoist Robe within the crowd.
The Sword Cultivator stands as upright as a pine tree, the sword scabbard at his waist ancient and simple, yet it faintly emits a Dao Principle aura that induces trepidation.
The aura sometimes slices as cold as ice in winter, sometimes profound like the meeting of Yin and Yang, and also contains a sharpness capable of annihilating all things.
Golden Feather Demon Venerable is secretly astonished, stepping forward to cup his hands with a smile:
"This must be Fellow Daoist Life-Annihilating? I’ve long heard that before becoming Divinity Transformation, Fellow Daoist comprehended Dao Principles; seeing today, it’s truly a stunning genius!"
Chen Sheng raises his hand in return, the sleeve of his cyan gray Daoist Robe sweeps through the void, stirring a subtle sword wind:
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Golden Feather."
After Divinity Transformation, understanding Dao Principles is just the beginning.
Dao Principles are divided into three layers of realms, achieving Perfection in the Third Layer allows one to begin forming a Dao Domain, thereby advancing to Void Refining, which is where Chen Xihua stands now.
Chen Sheng cultivated on Yunlan Mountain for decades, never wasting a moment.
He used the "Peration Dao Principle" he comprehended in his early years as a foundation, integrating the killing power of "Destruction Dao Principle" taught by Chen Xihua, and further supplemented by the profound mysteries of the "Yin-Yang Dao Principle" comprehended from the Demon Race’s Yin Souls.
He finally understood his unique Sword Dao twenty years ago — "Path of Yin Yang Annihilation Sword".
This Dao Principle is perfectly balanced, not only breaking defenses with Peration Power but also severely wounding with Destruction Power, it’s a top-level Dao Principle, rivaling Chen Xihua’s "Path of Void Destruction Sword
