Chapter 840 - 580: Signal Tower!
Earth Immortal Realm, Endless Sea, Yellow Dragon Island.
The setting sun falls into the sea, twilight permeates the valley.
A young girl hugs her knees, curled up under the cliff, her almond eyes lifeless.
She looks up at the youth in a green cloth Daoist robe beside her:
"Brother Li, without a Spiritual Root... is it truly impossible to cultivate?"
Li Yan’s heart tightened as he looked at the despair in her eyes, he nodded heavily:
"Ah Rou, cultivation is a Heaven-defying path, Spiritual Roots are fundamental. Without them, the path to immortality is cut off, this is the iron rule of the Cultivation Realm."
Min Rou trembled, her fingertips dug into her palm, drawing blood without her noticing.
Unable to cultivate, who will avenge her parents?
Li Yan sighed lightly:
"Ah Rou, let it be. Just live safely on the island."
Min Rou gritted her teeth, remaining silent, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Brother Li killed those few evil cultivators running errands, but the root of everything is the Foundation Establishment Realm’s deadwood monster.
Li Yan shook his head helplessly, took out silver taels, clothes, and ointment from a Storage Pouch, placing them on a blue stone beside her:
"Keep these well, you can use them in the mundane world."
As his words fell, Spirit Light flashed under his feet, transforming into pale cyan Rainbow Light, disappearing in an instant into the depths of the Cloud Sea.
...
The moon reaches the sky, silver radiance pours onto the earth, it is the hour for cultivating the Min family’s ancestral "Moon Prayer Heart Sutra."
Since she was six, for eleven years through cold and heat, Min Rou had never stopped moon prayer breathing.
But tonight, she stood under the moonlight, yet hesitated to move.
She saw with her own eyes, her father, an Innate Martial Arts Grandmaster, unable to withstand even one move in front of the black-bearded evil cultivator.
With a flick of his finger, a crimson fire snake burned her father to charcoal.
Such a death replays in her mind, like a sharp blade, repeatedly shredding her Heart Spirit.
And the evil cultivator was merely a mid-stage Qi Cultivator.
"The ninth level of Moon Prayer Heart Sutra, Innate Martial Arts Grandmaster... before a cultivator, is just an ant easily obliterated."
She murmured, her heart submerged in despair like tidal waves.
"No Spiritual Root, the path to immortality severed, martial arts useless, deep sea of blood feud extending endlessly."
Min Rou’s legs weakened, she knelt in the moonlight, tears finally broke free, rolling down her pale cheeks, falling into the dust.
Just as her Heart Spirit shattered—
Buzz—
A mysterious, profound Dao sound slowly descended from above the nine heavens.
Neither music nor chant, neither incantation nor formula, yet it pierced directly through her eardrum, imprinting deep into her Divine Soul.
Like whispers of the world’s creation, like the chant of all things’ birth and death, enigmatic and profound.
"Dao begets the Profound Yin, known as the root of heaven and earth..."
"The Boundless Celestial King holds the Profound Yin Gate, grasping the primordial mechanism, merging the Primordial Dao Rhyme, origin of the secret teachings..."
Min Rou suddenly looked up, her eyes wide, her Heart Spirit utterly dazed.
In the moonlight, a phantom and sacred portal shadow slowly unfolded before her eyes.
The portal stood taller than ten thousand feet, its surface engraved with endless birth and death Runes, flowing bright colors, yet shrouded in chaotic mist, it was the supreme Profound Yin Gate.
Behind the door seemed a majestic figure sitting, its pressure permeating the heavens, yet benevolent and vast, impossible to gaze upon, indescribable.
Countless mysterious knowledge, Profound Yin Sequence Secret Manual, frantically poured into her mind.
Simultaneously, her body suddenly emitted a faint white Spirit Light, bones faintly creaked, flesh reshaped.
The originally somewhat slender girl’s figure visibly stretched, shedding her youthful awkwardness, as if she had grown a few years!
Her form became increasingly slender and tall, skin as smooth as mutton fat jade, hair gleaming with moonlight radiance, even exuding a sacred aura.
The next moment, a mystical panel emitting profound cyan and gold light quietly condensed before her.
[Name: Min Rou]
[Sequence: Nine·Returning to the Profound Faith]
[Corresponding Authority: Under the Profound Yin·First-born Believer]
[Abilities: Profound Yin Perception, Moon Prayer Transformation, Good Faith Profound Light]
[Next Sequence: Sequence Eight·Returning to the Profound Leading Virtuous Ones]
[Advancement Condition: Preach the Profound Yin Dao, convert a thousand believers; prepare three sacrifices—ox, sheep, pig, offer at the moon altar]
The sequence information imprinted in her Divine Soul, her eyes initially dazed.
She trembled, raising her hand, first activating the first ability Profound Yin Perception.
In an instant, originally lifeless in her perception, heaven and earth exploded with countless flowing Spirit Light threads.
Those Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi deemed untouchable by those without Spiritual Roots, now clearly danced in her Divine Soul, completely breaking the iron rule that without Spiritual Root one cannot cultivate.
Next, she triggered the second ability Moon Prayer Transformation, the sky-filled moon radiance surged at her fingertips, condensing into a cold Profound Light Magic Blade.
She gently swept it, the light blade slicing through the air, the half-human tall stubborn stone ahead was instantly cut evenly, rock shavings flew, the smooth cut gleamed like a mirror.
Finally, she focused her Heart Spirit to activate Good Faith Profound Light, a layer of gentle white light spread from within, forming a solid defense, isolating all surrounding winds and debris.
"It’s real!"
"I’m not dreaming!"
The shackles of despair, shattered instantly.
The unattainable light of revenge, now right before her eyes!
Min Rou prostrated herself on the ground, respectfully kowtowing three times before the phantom shadow of the Profound Yin Gate in the void.
Her voice trembled, yet filled with extreme reverence and fervor, echoing under the moonlight:
"Praise the origin Divine Spirit of the Profound Yin Secret Teachings!"
"Praise the supreme Dao Lord holding the Profound Yin Gate!"
"Disciple Min Rou, willing to serve the Dao lifelong, to spread the Profound Yin!"
...
Beyond heavens, divine kingdom hall.
Chen Sheng leaned casually on the throne, bearing a lazy posture, yet naturally emanating the pressure of myriad paths.
He pinched his fingertips, the "Two Realms Gate" suspended three inches above his palm.
Palm-sized, ancient Runes slowly traversed the gate’s surface, dark blue-black glimmering light flickering uncertainly, as docile as a Spirit Pet.
"Having this thing is truly convenient, in a short time, it has found coordinates of worlds all around, successfully spreading the Profound Yin."
"Yet the Earth Immortal Realm truly is profound, even with coordinates, sensing through barriers is somewhat slow."
At this moment, a faint but extremely fervent prayer pierced the inter-realm barrier, crossing the endless void.
Following the spatial veins of the bronze gate, it clearly entered his Divine Thought.
Again and again, echoing in his mind:
"Praise the origin Divine Spirit of the Profound Yin Secret Teachings! Praise the supreme Dao Lord holding the Profound Yin Gate!"
Chen Sheng’s lips slowly curved into a smile.
"Earth Immortal Realm, finally has its first believer."
The bronze gate Runes abruptly shined!
A slender white filament of faith extended from the gate’s surface, heading towards the Earth Immortal Realm.
This is the bridge of faith, also the first touch of the Profound Yin Secret Teachings sequence network in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Authority spread along the filament, he instantly perceived everything about Yellow Dragon Island in the Earth Immortal Realm.
...
Chen Sheng temporarily decided not to personally visit the Earth Immortal Realm.
Not unable, but unneeded, nor willing to risk.
Since cultivating creation, he has traversed the heavens multiple times, always keeping his main body in the divine kingdom, never stepping away.
The divine kingdom is his foundation, the core anchor of the sequence system.
As long as the main body is here, he can firmly hold authority, maintaining network stability.
Even if mishaps occur in the heavenly travels, he can retreat entirely, unharmed at the core.
The Earth Immortal Realm is vast and endless, with a complete cultivation system and opportunities, but also hidden dangers.
"Only cautious paths can last long!"
This bronze gate arrived just in time, his inner caution intensified.
Over the years, he has set countless hooks for others, yet fears falling into others’ traps.
Chen Sheng lightly tapped the bronze gate, the runes lit once more, transforming into countless subtle veins, spreading towards the myriad worlds within the outer river.
"Utilizing it this way, it’s more like a one-way signal tower."
"Disseminating my church knowledge across the worlds, expanding my authority network, yet not exposing my position."
