Above the Great Dao

Chapter 484: Three Paths to Immortality (Part 2)


"Many were shattered, and a few pieces that weren't were picked up by Chen Shi."

Zhong Wuwang said, "On those bones, there are still some incomplete Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, but they have already become very faint and difficult to recognize. Heavenly Venerate, I have remembered quite a few Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns. Once I comprehend their mysteries, I will write them down and send them to Wenda Academy."

The Heavenly Venerate nodded lightly, "You are thoughtful. Take Zhenxiu with you."

Zhong Wuwang acknowledged, took Fang Zhenxiu's hand intending to leave but stopped and hesitated to speak.

The Heavenly Venerate smiled and asked, "What's the matter now?"

Zhong Wuwang mustered his courage and said, "Heavenly Venerate, I feel I have accumulated enough, but I still cannot break through the Mahayana to Harmonization with Heaven and Earth. I would like to ask the Heavenly Venerate for some guidance..."

Fang Zhenxiu's hand was held by him, only feeling his palm was sweaty, but Zhong Wuwang did not show any sign of nervousness; instead, he seemed earnest and apprehensive, like a disciple afraid to disturb his teacher yet unwilling to give up the opportunity.

"I still need to learn more from my teacher," Fang Zhenxiu thought to himself.

The Heavenly Venerate, with a gentle expression, instructed, "The True King created a new method and identified many realms, with the highest realm only reaching Mahayana. But in the traditional realms, after that, there are the Tribulation Crossing and Ascension. The Tribulation Crossing Realm requires passing the Heavenly Tribulation, washing away one's impurities with the might of Pure Yang Heavenly Thunder so that the Primordial Spirit becomes Immortal. In the Tribulation Crossing Realm, one must attract Immortal Energy and Light to refine the Immortal Body, making the physical body an Immortal as well. The new method lacks these two realms, so if you wish to achieve Harmonization, you must first ask yourself if your Primordial Spirit has become an Immortal God? Has your physical body become an Immortal Body?"

Zhong Wuwang was greatly shocked and bowed, "Disciple asks the Heavenly Venerate, how to cultivate the Immortal Primordial Spirit and Immortal Body?"

He initially stopped only to clear himself of suspicion but now sincerely asked the Heavenly Venerate, hoping the chessboard would provide answers.

The Heavenly Venerate, eager to teach all he knew, continued, "In past times, the True King led the people of Great Ming to this realm. Many cultivators cultivated the old method to its peak and crossed the Heavenly Tribulation. I observed them and found that although they underwent wicked changes, some showed great wisdom, suppressing the changes with various Magic Skills. After their tribulation crossing, the sky cracked open, Immortal Light shone down, and Immortal Energy descended from the heavens. They attracted Immortal Energy and Light from the Immortal Realm to refine their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits for Harmonization and Ascension. Therefore, if you wish to become an Immortal, you must seek Immortal Light and Energy to refine your physical body and Primordial Spirit."

Zhong Wuwang released Fang Zhenxiu's hand and bowed to thank the Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Venerate raised his hand lightly, causing Zhong Wuwang to stand up involuntarily.

"Immortal Light and Energy exist at Despair Slope, but the Immortal Light and Energy of Despair Slope are formed by cultivators entrusting True God Dojo, not true Immortal Light and Energy. If you achieve Harmonization with the True God Dojo and become immortal, it would disgrace the Innate Dao Embryo."

The Heavenly Venerate earnestly taught, "For real Immortal Light and Energy, you must either seek the Immortal Family Grotto Heaven and Blessed Land, pass the Tribulation Crossing, or undergo the process of refining yourself through Water-Mill work to become an Immortal in your Primordial Spirit and physical body. The first method is relatively easy, the second more pure, and the third the most reliable. Wuwang, you possess the Innate Dao Embryo, so any of these methods can lead you to immortality. May you find an immortal path for all people."

Zhong Wuwang bowed, "Wuwang will faithfully follow the Heavenly Venerate's teachings."

The Heavenly Venerate waved his hand, allowing him to leave.

Zhong Wuwang took Fang Zhenxiu's hand and left the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, flying towards his own Heavenly Dao Peak.

Fang Zhenxiu looked up and said, "Master..."

Zhong Wuwang signaled with his eyes and gently shook his head, "Zhenxiu, what is it?"

Fang Zhenxiu, quickly understanding, held out the Jade Pendant given by the Heavenly Venerate and said, "Master, I am hungry."

Zhong Wuwang took the Jade Pendant, smiling, "I'll take you to find something delicious."

He looked at the Jade Pendant, secretly on guard.

"Every move I make may be transmitted to the Heavenly Venerate through this gift. Fortunately, Zhenxiu is clever."

He silently thought, "Yang Bi, you guessed correctly. The Heavenly Venerate might be the real culprit. Back then, he killed all the Divine beings of Da Shang Heavenly Court and perished together with the Immortals of Da Shang, possibly possessing one of Da Shang's people to plot a comeback. To verify, I still need to know the ages of all Heavenly Dao Immortals to see if any were officials of the Great Shang Court! This matter is not very difficult."

Zhong Wuwang settled Fang Zhenxiu down, teaching him how to cultivate, while thinking, "I wonder how Chen Shi is doing and if that Da Shang Immortal still has any vitality?"

Chen Shi returned to Qianyang Mountain and immediately found the beekeeper Azhuo. He extracted beeswax and pine resin and boiled some glue, using it to piece the Immortal Bone together bit by bit.

The Immortal Bone, although restored to completeness, had Dao Patterns from the Witch Sacrificial Ceremony that were faint and unclear on its surface.

Chen Shi carefully observed, finding the Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns seemed to flow slowly.

"It didn't die even like this?"

He couldn't help but feel astonished, not knowing how long it would take for them to completely restore.

Yang Bi, grateful, acknowledged it.

Chen Shi lifted the Heavenly Court Token, extracted bee wax and pine resin from Beekeeper and boiled some glue to piece the bone together.

He handed the glue over to Fang Zhenxiu with a smile, saying, "I'll take you to find something to eat, my disciple."

Upon receiving the jade pendant presented by the Heavenly Venerate, Fang Zhenxiu, whose mind was extremely bright, immediately realized, squeezed the gift and handed it over, saying, "Master, I am hungry."

Zhong Wuwang took the Jade Pendant, smiled, and said, "I'll take you to find something to eat."

"Fortunately, Zhenxiu is clever."

At this, Zhong Wuwang's expression changed slightly, and he spoke with stoic austerity, as if he were a devoted disciple who dared not disturb his teacher but could not bring himself to give up the opportunity.

The Heavenly Venerate continued with unreserved instruction: "In the past, when our True King led the Great Ming people to this realm, many cultivators practiced the Old Method to great heights, crossing the Heavenly Tribulation. I also observed them and found that while some turned to evil, some used great wisdom, using various Magic Skills to suppress the demonic nature. After they crossed the Tribulation, the sky split open, and Immortal Light shone down with Immortal Energy descending from the Heavens. They absorbed the Immortal Energy and Light from the Immortal Realm, refining their physical bodies and Primordial Spirits to achieve Harmonization and Ascension. Therefore, if you wish to become an Immortal, you must seek Immortal Light and Energy to refine your body and Primordial Spirit."

Zhong Wuwang released Fang Zhenxiu's hand and bowed to the Heavenly Venerate in gratitude.

The Heavenly Venerate lightly lifted his hand, and Zhong Wuwang involuntarily straightened up.

"There is Immortal Light and Energy on Despair Slope, but those are formed from cultivators entrusting True God Dojo, not true Immortal Light and Energy. If you become an Immortal by Harmonizing with True God Dojo, you would disgrace the Innate Dao Embryo."

The Heavenly Venerate earnestly advised, "If you want genuine Immortal Light and Energy, you must either seek out an Immortal Family Grotto Heaven and Blessed Land, go through the Tribulation Crossing, or through repeated tempering, refine your Primordial Spirit and Physical Body into an Immortal. Of these three methods, the first is relatively easy, the second more pure, and the third is the most reliable. Wuwang, you possess the Innate Dao Embryo, and you can become an Immortal by any of these methods. I hope you can discover a path of immortality for the common people."

Zhong Wuwang bowed and said, "I will follow the Heavenly Venerate's guidance faithfully."

The Heavenly Venerate waved his hand, allowing him to leave.

Zhong Wuwang took hold of Fang Zhenxiu's hand and left the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, flying toward his own Heavenly Dao Peak.

Fang Zhenxiu looked up and said, "Master..."

Zhong Wuwang gestured with his eyes, gently shaking his head, and asked, "Zhenxiu, what's the matter?"

Fang Zhenxiu, with his quick wit, immediately realized, clasped the Jade Pendant given by the Heavenly Venerate, and offered it, saying, "Master, I'm hungry."

Zhong Wuwang took the Jade Pendant, smiling, and said, "I will take you to find something to eat."

"Indeed, Zhenxiu is clever and quick-witted."

Silently thinking to himself, he reflected, "It's fortunate that Zhenxiu is so clever."

"However, to truly become one with divine energy and light, and achieve Harmonization and Ascension, you must seek an Immortal Realm."

Zhong Wuwang bowed deeply and said, "I will obey the Heavenly Venerate's teachings."

The Heavenly Venerate waved him off, and Zhong Wuwang took Fang Zhenxiu's hand and left the Welcoming Immortal Pavilion, flying towards his Heavenly Dao Peak.

Fang Zhenxiu looked up and said, "Master..."

Zhong Wuwang, shaking his head gently, signaled with his eyes and asked, "What is it, Zhenxiu?"

With remarkable quick thinking, Fang Zhenxiu, holding the Jade Pendant given by the Heavenly Venerate, handed it to him and said, "Master, I'm hungry."

Zhong Wuwang took the Jade Pendant and smiled, "Let me find you something to eat."

"Fortunately, Zhenxiu is resourceful," he thought to himself.

"It is fortunate that you are smart, Zhenxiu."

Zhong Wuwang arranged for Fang Zhenxiu to stay and guided him to cultivate.

Meanwhile, he pondered, "I wonder how Chen Shi is doing, and whether the prophecy about his downfall can be avoided."

With that, he took Fang Zhenxiu back to their quarters on the Heavenly Dao Peak.

When they arrived, all was silent between them.

Once they reached the Yang family home, Fang Zhenxiu looked up and called, "Master..."

Zhong Wuwang motioned with his eyes and shook his head gently, signaling him not to speak. He said, "Zhenxiu, what is it?"

Fang Zhenxiu, quick-witted, suddenly realized and handed over the Jade Pendant given by the Heavenly Venerate, saying, "Master, I'm hungry."

Zhong Wuwang accepted the Jade Pendant with a smile and said, "I will take you to find something good for dinner."
