Chapter 281 Simulation: She is also a Chick
The Transcendent world, brimming with Spiritual Energy.
Shaded by verdant trees, bizarre flowers and exotic grasses, Immortal Fruits and Spiritual Medicine are found in abundance.
In the sky, phoenixes soar; in the seas, dragons traverse; in blessed immortal mountains, there's the common tread of qilins and the march of myriad beasts.
This is the Cultivation World.
The world of Qi Cultivation is a Semi-Dimension, which is to say it's on the cusp of evolving into a dimension. Once the evolution completes, the heavenly will of this realm will ascend to divinity.
In such a dimensional world, the sky is round and the earth is square, unlike the spherical worlds. An energy field protects the outside, and the creatures living within this realm can see the stars at night but cannot leave. What's called 'ascension' is merely a passage through channels between the dimensional planes, leading to more powerful dimensional worlds.
For instance: the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm.
However, of late, the entire Cultivation World has become restless.
Because the heavenly will has fallen into slumber—
The even more powerful Heavenly Demons from outside the domain have struck a profound blow to the heavenly will of the Cultivation World, causing their 'Old Heaven' to fall ill.
Complacency breeds disaster.
Major sects have set aside past grievances, no longer engaging in contentious struggles for supremacy; instead, they've banded together. Based on their own divisions, all sects have been categorized into two great alliances.
Of course, some were not willing.
Therefore, before the alliances were formed, a massive battle ensued among the major sects, which led to a reshuffling of powerful sects and the rise of numerous lesser ones.
Among them, a young man named Meng Daozhen rose from the countryside, and with the companionship of brothers and a graceful maiden by his side, he leveraged a powerful relic to forcefully progress, reaching the pinnacle of the Manifestation Saint Peak and becoming the Alliance Hierarch of both the Tao and Demon Alliances.
It was he who, using that relic, connected with the slumbering heavenly will and launched a large-scale assault on the Taixu Illusory Realm. However, the impact was not as expected; it caused mere ripples in the Illusory Realm, soon calmed by the inconspicuous waves.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Tao Alliance inquired, "We have failed. They surely have beings above the Manifestation Saint level. Should we continue?"
The Taixu Illusory Realm—its higher echelons had become well-aware of it and had even learned of the cultivation system of that world. Compared with their own, they found it strikingly similar and even more refined than their practice of Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.
Therefore, after the Tao and Demon factions formed one grand alliance, the appellation of their cultivation system changed to the heart and spirit cultivation system—
Ironically enough.
Though the Cultivation World sought to break free from the swath of the Taixu Illusory Realm, they readily adopted the cultivation system from the other side for their own use.
The Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Demon Faction, the Demon Lord, narrowed his eyes and questioned, "Tao Master, don't tell me you wish to compromise with the Taixu Illusory Realm? It has assaulted our Heavenly Dao! It even seeks to refine the Heavenly Dao!"
"It's just their way of boiling the frog in lukewarm water!"
"How can you bear to watch the Heavenly Dao that gave birth and nurtured you be devoured and refined by another?"
The Tao Master just chuckled coldly and did not respond.
He simply didn't want too many losses.
And when it came to betrayal, the Demon Faction was even more suspicious—after all, his Taoist sect still had rules that bound the disciples, while the Demon Faction, true to their nature, would not hesitate to kill you, not even bothering with a reason.
He figured that if it wasn't for the fact that the Alliance Hierarch deemed the Demon Faction a useful force, he would have eradicated them at the first opportunity.
As for the graciousness of being birthed and nurtured by the Heavenly Dao—
Hmph!
If it were possible, they would have contemplated refining the Heavenly Dao themselves, rather than waiting for the Taixu Illusory Realm to do so.
After all, to become a Cultivator is to seek a longer life and greater power.
Becoming the Heavenly Dao would be the best choice!
The Tao Master was certain that all powerful Cultivators had contemplated this, especially Meng Daozhen, their Alliance Hierarch, who had already taken practical steps toward it.
Indeed!
Meng Daozhen!
In the Tao Master's mind, Meng Daozhen was the one who wanted to use a rare treasure to refine the weakened Heavenly Dao opportunistically. The so-called alliance, combining human will with the heavenly will to assault the Taixu Illusory Realm, was merely to weaken the will of the Heavenly Dao further.
Those present were all aware that with the magnitude of the Cultivation World, attacking the ethereal Taixu Illusory Realm was akin to a moth trying to extinguish a flame or a dragonfly shaking a tree—a forlorn endeavor.
If not to weaken the heavenly will, what else could be the objective?
"Enough bickering," the youth in a black and white robe, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, casually tied in a ponytail at the back of his head, slowly spoke up. His voice resonated through the space, causing the Tao Master and Demon Lord to hold their tongues.
The person before them had cultivated the strongest technique in their world, the Eternal Supreme Scripture, a legacy of the Great Emperor of Longevity.
Rumor has it that even a minor success in the Eternal Supreme Scripture could result in the formation of nine Nascent Souls.
As per the newly adopted terms, these would be called Sacred Embryos.
Nine Sacred Embryos—each with unfathomable secrets and the might to overturn rivers and seas.
The sacred fetuses converged into one, circling each other like the cycles of the Heavenly Dao from one to nine, endless and unstoppable by anyone.
At the end, when the nine great sacred fetuses all emerged, it was like nine Great Emperors perpetually ruling the cosmos, the ultimate of heaven and earth, known as the Ninety-Nine Supremes.
Even in the legends of ancient times, the entire Cultivation World was created by the Eternal Supreme, with the Heavenly Dao of the Cultivation World akin to the son of the Eternal Supreme.
After cultivating the Eternal Supreme Scripture, oneself is essentially a disciple of the Eternal Supreme, and the will of the Cultivation World becomes akin to a fellow disciple.
"Proceed as planned. In three years, reflect human hearts against the Heavenly Heart again to strike at the Taixu Illusory Realm, and break free from its coverage without error," came the somber voice once more, leaving the Dao Master and the Demon Master with no room for rebuttal, replying with "yes".
After the two left, Meng Daozhen took out a bone bead without any luster, a relic, and thought to himself, "People always say that I have cultivated the Eternal Supreme Scripture, and it is true, but my real Cultivation Technique is the supreme technique from within the Great Emperor's Relic, the Heart Emperor's Seal."
The Heart Emperor's Seal, the Eternal Supreme Scripture, two Great Emperor-level Cultivation Techniques cultivated by him alone, not only allowed him to condense the embryo and the body of a Great Emperor but also enabled him to break free from the influence of any Great Emperor, offering further possibilities—surpassing both Emperors.
If he had only cultivated any one technique, he could have surpassed the ordinary following the proper steps, but he would never compare to any Great Emperor, forever beneath them.
But with the simultaneous cultivation of both, using the Eternal Supreme Scripture to circulate the Heart Emperor's Seal, he concocted nine Heart Emperor embryos, achieving unprecedented accomplishments.
According to Meng Daozhen's view, his future achievements would surely surpass those of the creators of these two techniques.
Moreover, his current plan aimed at enriching his foundation even further, which was to assimilate the will of the Cultivation World into his own, thus transforming himself into a True God and turning the entire Cultivation World into his divine domain.
In doing so, he could naturally take his divine domain beyond the scope of the Taixu Illusory Realm.
If worse came to worst, he could create his own semi-dimensional space and lead his Dao companions out. With his strength, where couldn't he be an honored guest?
This was his true plan!
"To assimilate the Heavenly Will, I must rely on this Great Emperor's Relic to act as a vessel; then I shall integrate the relic to achieve True Godhood." Meng Daozhen seemed to have already seen the future scene, and in his excitement, the empty Alliance Leader's meeting hall bloomed with greenery and fresh flowers due to his joy.
Having manifested the Heart Emperor's Seal, he naturally could create thousands of things with a single thought.
Moss grew on a stubborn rock, new sprouts rejuvenated a decayed log.
It was but a trifle.
As his thought dissipated, the grass withered, flowers and fruits shriveled, turning to dust and vanishing without a trace.
Meng Daozhen put away the Great Emperor's Relic and went back to his room to find his Dao companion, Hua Youmeng, and began Dual Cultivation to advance his cultivation further and also to help his Dao companion improve.
Assimilating the Heavenly Dao on his own was always uncertain; he needed others to guard him.
Who could be more trustworthy than a Dao companion?
In the harmony of water and milk, they were able to sense each other's hearts and wills, embodying both yin and yang, distinct yet harmoniously blending, which is called creation.
Clouds turned with their gestures, and the rain obeyed their commands.
Hua Youmeng let out a soft gasp, her eyes hazy, yet she maintained a sliver of clarity, asking, "Even though we both have manifested our sacred abilities, we still can't escape convention. There must be some unfathomable destiny in it."
Meng Daozhen gently nodded and then said, "In three years, we will leave. We can no longer stay in the Cultivation World; we cannot be controlled by the Taixu Illusory Realm."
"Mhm."
Hua Youmeng nodded happily, feeling no nostalgic ties to the Cultivation World, as if the man before her was her everything. Fоr а smооthеr rеаding еxpеriеnсе, visit МV&LЕМРYR.
After reassuring Hua Youmeng, Meng Daozhen dressed and went to the next room to start another round of Dual Cultivation.
Hua Youmeng sat cross-legged to regulate her breath, her eyes lingering on Meng Daozhen as he left, which was then replaced by a hint of coldness: "Am I not enough for you?"
Previously, Hua Youmeng was very open-minded because she was the main among Meng Daozhen's Dao companions, but lately, a different thought had been growing in her heart.
She thought it was a deviation in her cultivation, but that thought grew heavier and was almost turning into an obsession—possessing Meng Daozhen exclusively for herself.
"You belong only to me!"
Her charming face was nearly contorted as she screamed madly in her heart...
...
This live spring palace display was clearly observed by Sun Shisheng and others within the Taixu Illusory Realm.
It was but a union of yin and yang.
The five simply watched with indifferent eyes, showing no embarrassment; Wang Chao even casually criticized, saying that the couple's movements were too few and lacked interest.
Chan Yinsha chuckled: "So you're saying, you have a wealth of experience? Virgin."
Wang Chao gave Chan Yinsha a sidelong glance and said, "I'm a virgin, and I'm proud of it, unlike you with your carelessness."
"Are you asking for a beating?"
Red light sparked in Chan Yinsha's eyes; she, too, was chaste and had never approached the matters of men and women.
In her youth, focused on practicing martial arts, where would she have the interest in romance?
She too was a maiden!
