Chapter 824: Chapter 8 Wild Grass_2
Who in the world doesn’t cling to life?
Enough said.
Xuan Ming slowly extended his palm, and amidst the chaos, countless snow-white threads shot forth, converging above this void land, forming a square Dao Stele.
This Dao Stele was identical to the one suspended in the void of the Holy Hall.
Except its emanating pressure was even more solidified.
“Send out your Divine Thought, then you can refine it.”
Xuan Ming said with a smile, “Within this ‘Holy Realm Core’ lies a vast inheritance of Divine Treasures. Once you refine it, you’ll need a long ti to slowly digest it.”
“Is this… the ‘Core’ of the Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm?”
Xie Xuanyi gazed at the pure white Dao Stele before him, montarily in a trance.
When stepping into the Secret Tomb.
He hadn’t considered these things at all.
Swish!
Divine Thought entered the Dao Stele, and the snow-white Holy Realm Core was instantly refined.
The entire refinent process posed not the slightest difficulty.
The toughest barrier to obtaining the “Holy Realm Core” had already been overco.
After several breaths——
Xie Xuanyi lowered his head, his Divine Thought inwardly observed; a snow-white stele was suspended within his Dantian. This stone lay beside the Undying Spring Eye, slowly rotating, exuding a faint aura of abundance.
He had already beco the master of this [Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm].
A thought swept across.
The thousands of miles of scenery within the Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm were entirely reflected in his Purple Mansion.
The swaying grass and trees of the realm, the fluttering dead leaves, all mirrored within Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake.
Besides.
The movents of the wind and grass outside the Secret Tomb were also fully under control.
“Finally…”
Xuan Ming watched this unfold, revealing a relieved smile.
He had waited far too long.
A thousand years.
At last, he welcod the master of the Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm.
The great wind blew, the mist dispersed, millions of blades of grass all bowed their heads, prostrating in the direction where Xie Xuanyi stood, worshiping.
Before the passing of Bai Ze Great Saint, he had separated the [Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm] from his own Cave Heaven.
This Dao Stele was the origin of all life within the Holy Realm——
Xie Xuanyi refined it.
In this mont, he beca the embodint of the Holy Realm’s consciousness!
“So this is the true ‘Cave Heaven’…”
Xie Xuanyi clenched his fist.
This Holy Realm, enduring a thousand years without decay, could truly be considered the most perfect Cave Heaven world over the millennium.
Every cultivator dreams of obtaining such a Holy Realm.
Yin God, Yang God, Heavenly Person, True Immortal.
Each step is a vast chasm.
“You can carry this Holy Realm with you, but given your current cultivation, you cannot manifest it externally to fend off enemies.”
Xuan Ming said softly, “This Holy Realm is too massive; projecting it outside requires an enormous expenditure of primordial energy. Not to ntion you are rely a ‘half-step Yang God’; even if you truly reach the Yang God Ninth Heaven, consuming a lifeti of savings might scarcely support this terrifying realm’s depletion.”
This is reasonable.
This is a perfect world of the True Immortal Realm.
Once externalized, it would imdiately settle, challenging the Heavenly Dao——
This is the reason why the [Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm] hides within the depths of the Secret Tomb; the realm concealed within the Dao Stele, the Dao Stele hidden within the Holy Hall Cave Heaven, the Cave Heaven buried deep within the Secret Tomb, and only in this way can it evade the outside Great Dao… Yet, even so, the vegetation within the realm still withers, and Xuan Ming sustained the realm for a thousand years; even possessing the Divine Thought of the Heavenly Human Realm was now entirely depleted.
“How should I maintain this Holy Realm?”
Xie Xuanyi rubbed his brow, feeling a sudden headache.
The [Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm] is indeed a divine fortune.
But its operation continuously consus primordial energy——
Xuan Ming now only had a breath of residual thought, which was certainly not a sustainable plan.
“If it were anyone else, maintaining it would truly be impossible.”
“But you… are different from the others. After all, you are a person of destiny.”
Xuan Ming coughed lightly before his lips, and having confird Xie Xuanyi had refined the stele, he finally revealed a wisp of a smile.
This smile carried a hint of cunning.
“Wait, could it be…”
Xie Xuanyi sensed sothing amiss.
“Indeed.”
Xuan Ming smiled and said, “If I haven’t mistaken, within your Dantian, there’s an ‘Undying Spring Eye’… isn’t there?”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi wore a black line on his face, the blind man with bandaged eyes saw clearer than anyone else.
Not only had he discerned the Undying Spring within his Dantian, but he had seen it was the Undying Spring Eye!
“Truly a rare treasure.”
Even Xuan Ming of the Heavenly Human Realm couldn’t help but marvel, “Nowadays, isn’t the world devoid of primordial energy? Yet sohow, you can cultivate such a Divine Artifact… Truly, you’re in the right place at the right ti and t the right people. Such a thing, placed a thousand years ago, even my Master would have greedily fought to capture it.”
“How else might I have the opportunity to beco the destined person of the Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm?”
Xie Xuanyi uttered softly in reply.
“Indeed.”
Xuan Ming smiled and pointed to the distant sky.
“You see…”
Xuan Ming spoke gently, “Once at the Heavenly Human Realm, their internal Cave Heaven becos a world of its own. Cultivators might cultivate flora and nurture life within their Cave Heaven; they have only one final great calamity left. To these cultivators, to beco True Immortal, they need to overco the ‘Heavenly Dao.’ How do they battle the Heavenly Dao?”
“Cultivate a perfect Holy Realm, using the Great Dao of the realm to counter the external Heavenly Dao?”
Xie Xuanyi imdiately understood.
“Correct.”
Xuan Ming, seeing the young man beside him grasp the idea, laughed, “This is Master’s final calamity-transcending thod. He wished for the [Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm] to beco the perfect Cave Heaven, challenging the Heavenly Dao.”
“This Holy Realm is already quite perfect.”
Xie Xuanyi furrowed his brows, “Did Bai Ze Great Saint ultimately fail?”
“He failed. But he also succeeded.”
The smile on Xuan Ming’s face slowly faded.
He spoke softly, “The realm reaches Great Success; countless beings can reside within it. A thousand years ago, during Master’s calamity, I brought the demonic spirit lineage of ‘Chongming’ to dwell in this realm, avoiding the great calamity. My three other junior brothers and sisters also brought their tribes here to seek refuge. Although Master perished, the realm still exists… We live on within this Holy Realm.”
The eerie wind blew, grass debris floated.
A thousand years are not a long ti.
But the survivors of those years have all turned to dust.
“What exactly was the great calamity a thousand years ago?”
Xie Xuanyi couldn’t help but ask.
He searched through the Daoist Collection on Lotus Peak, but couldn’t find any records of the events from a thousand years ago.
One thousand years truly isn’t a long ti.
The Da Chu Dynasty has extended over a millennium.
Many Holy Dao Inheritances have exceeded a thousand years!
Yet the reason behind the disappearance of the golden age a millennium ago lacks any historical record… It’s as though within those thousand years, a “disconnect” existed. This “disconnect” swallowed countless prodigies and swallowed the truth of history.
“I don’t know.”
Xuan Ming shook his head, “Master wanted
to bring my tribe here… He told , when the great calamity ca, if I were to leave this realm, I would surely et the fate of being reduced to ashes.”
“…?”
Xie Xuanyi felt a chilling sensation.
Heavenly Human Realm cultivation.
Yet in the great calamity a thousand years ago, utterly powerless?
The Great Yue Kingdom sank beneath the Snow Mountain.
The Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm was buried in the South Border.
“You need not fret over what the great calamity was.”
“The great calamity is simply the great calamity.”
Xuan Ming chuckled, “Actually, when I was young, I heard tales of the great calamity… but the last occurrence of the great calamity was much too distant. Many people have forgotten such disasters occur; to , the great calamity seems a predestined cycle of cause and effect, like the overgrown wild grass that’s eventually scorched by fire.”
He swept his hand casually.
A wisp of primordial fire ignited, and several hundred feet away, a raging fire spread forth.
A few breaths later.
Xuan Ming’s sleeve flicked, extinguishing the fire.
The wild grass burned away, leaving only pitch-black debris… The vigorous ones among them were all exterminated, although so remnants were left, requiring an exceedingly long ti to regrow.
To the wild grass——
This is the great calamity!
Unpredictable, uncalculable, without pattern.
Yet when it occurs, it’s unavoidable and inescapable.
Xuan Ming calmly observed the fluttering ashes of the grass, saying, “In truth… we are no different than the wild grass ourselves.”
