Chapter 241: Profound Depth Palace, Sea of Clouds

TL: Your TL, Crescent, here! I’ll be on vacation starting tomorrow and will be away for the next 3 weeks. I will still upload, but will release only 1 chapter per week on Thursday. Thanks for your understanding!

An intensely familiar feeling.

In the warm darkness, Xu Disheng awakened.

Golden spiritual light swirled continuously around him, and above his head floated the nine-petaled lotus platform, the top-grade Profound Treasure known as the Mirror Bodhi.

His consciousness, which had been severely damaged earlier, was now slowly recovering, nourished by the cyan light shed by the Mirror Bodhi.

The projection of the Paramount Ancient Bell gently rotated in the depths of his consciousness, releasing a light golden halo.

Also present were the projections of the seven mantras of the Soul Song and the Theory of Causality, faintly discernible beneath the ancient, golden bell.

If Xu Disheng could operate his Soul Force at this time, he would find that the dense bundle of illusory karma lines extending from his body had almost all been broken and dissipated, leaving only one faint karma line which stretched off into the unknown.

That mote of golden spiritual light now completely belonged to him as his true spirit!

Despite his consciousness being minuscule compared to the Bodhisattva’s, his was still a consciousness born from the ancient true spirit, sharing the same origin.

When the nine-petaled lotus platform Mirror Bodhi had taken him away to flee, his soul had also carried away a tiny amount of the power of the Bodhisattva’s ancient golden true spirit. Under the nourishment of the green light from the Mirror Bodhi, this portion of the golden true spirit’s power had now completely fused with his soul, mysteriously transforming into his own complete true spirit!

The Paramount Ancient Bell was a result of enlightenment brought about by his own consciousness, and even though he had lost his cultivation base and even his body, his profound law foundation still existed in the depths of his consciousness. When he recovered to the Dao Foundation stage in the future, he would be able to reconstruct his profound law foundation, and the Paramount Ancient Bell would be born anew!

Under the entwinement of the golden spiritual light surrounding him, and the protection of the nine-petaled lotus platform, he was headed toward the dark, unknown depths of the Nine Serenities Realm.

Dawn Creek City.

In front of the black and white vortex of the Human Path of Reincarnation, countless true spirits continuously entered, and Xu Disheng’s true spirit, emitting a mixture of golden and cyan light, also entered the vortex along with the endless torrent true spirits.

…

In the Central Region of the Human Realm…

Profound Depth Celestial World, Profound Depth Palace.

Xu Disheng opened his eyes to see a giant cyan stone platform suspended in the air, surrounded by an expanse of roiling clouds and mist that formed what seemed like a never-ending sea of clouds.

Up above, the three Yin moons hung high in the sky. They loomed impressively, looking incredibly large, as if one could reach out and touch them.

One of the Yin moons was darker than the rest, as if it were covered in a layer of blood. It was emitting an immeasurable aura of death.

The vast sea of clouds suddenly split open, interrupting his thoughts. A slender figure condensed from the mist, which gave Xu Disheng a glance, and sent a stream of clear qi into his consciousness.

Countless scenes and images flitted rapidly through Xu Disheng’s consciousness. After a few breaths of time, he fully understood where he was.

The Human Realm was boundlessly vast, and there were dozens of races. The two largest and most influential of these races were the Human Race and the Demon Race.

Although he had been reincarnated into the Human Realm, he had been reincarnated into the Central Region of the Human Realm as part of the Spirit Race. He was no longer part of the Human Race as he was before.

The Spirit Race was different from the Human Race. They weren’t born from the womb and were extremely few in number. They were born from the nascent spirit stones above the Genesis Sea of Clouds. Once a true spirit passed through the Human Path of Reincarnation, these naturally generated gestational spirit stones, produced naturally by heaven and earth, would help the true spirit construct a spirit body, giving birth to a being of the Spirit Race.

Despite their paucity, the Spirit Race had occupied the Profound Depth Spiritual World, which was located in the Central Region of the Human Realm, for countless years. All members of the Spirit Race were considered disciples of Profound Depth Palace.

After a few moments, that figure instructed him to follow. A snow-white bridge made of clouds formed under his feet, stretching off into an unknown place in the distant horizon.

Xu Disheng followed without hesitation, stepping onto the bridge of clouds. Whether it was the golden true spirit in his sea of consciousness or his freshly born Spirit Race body, both were completely his and under his complete control, without any hindrances whatsoever.

When members of the Spirit Race were born, they had the outward appearance of teenage youths, and their bodies were filled with the spiritual qi of the nascent spirit stones. They were born with an innate Cleansed Meridian stage cultivation base, with lifespans that easily spanned thousands of years. Aside from the disadvantage that they were extremely few in number, they were head and shoulders above the Human and Demon races in almost all aspects.

He treaded slowly along the bridge of clouds, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Due to the previous influence of the ancient golden true spirit deep within his consciousness, his demeanor had become indifferent and cold. He looked down upon almost everything, and he was often unwittingly pulled into illusions created by the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda. The Dao Path and firm Dao heart that he had comprehended and gained enlightenment of, now seemed uncertain to him. He wasn’t sure if they truly stemmed from his own heart.

Subconsciously, the projection of the Paramount Ancient Bell within his consciousness began to rotate slowly, releasing a faint golden halo that gradually calmed the turmoil within his mind.

When he thought back to the disdainful words, “mere ant” that he had faintly heard before losing consciousness, a hint of unsuppressable killing intent appeared in Xu Disheng’s mind.

Since the projection of the Paramount Ancient Bell hadn’t completely dissipated, that meant that his Dao Path hadn’t changed, and it truly stemmed from his own heart!

The mysteries of his past life and reincarnation had mostly been uncovered, but Xu Disheng’s killing intent towards that Bodhisattva surged like a tidal wave and could not be calmed.

An icy light flashed in Xu Disheng’s eyes. He was unsure what would happen in the Shangqing Sacred Sect after that Bodhisattva awakened a sliver of his consciousness, but there was an insurmountable realm barrier between the Eastern Region and the Central Region of the Human Realm. Only Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords and Divine Sea stage Heavenly Lords could cross it, so there was no need to be on guard against him for now.

You wish to resurrect the Divine Elder Lu Ling? 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

Since you are willing to abandon your everlasting Bodhisattva cultivation to resurrect this woman, then I, Xu Disheng, will utterly shatter your hopes!

Moreover, I will suppress you and the artifact spirit of the Black Sky Yellow Earth Pagoda in the bottomless abyss of darkness, where you will never be released for countless eons!

The Immortal Dao was a Dao of the heart. Any being of any race who reached the Divine Sea Stage could become a new Immortal being if their cultivation of the mind could achieve the Will of Heaven Psyche. Thus they would enter Floating Immortal Heaven, and rule over heaven and earth along with the other Immortal beings.

However, this was the way to achieve the Immortal Dao several eons ago. Since the destruction of the Floating Immortal Heaven and the dethronement of the Immortal Court, this method had long been sealed. No one knew the cultivation method that allowed one to attain the Will of Heaven Psyche.

But Xu Disheng had learned this method from the ancient golden true spirit. His previous aloof indifference was an influence of the ancient golden true spirit, whose indifference stemmed from being a supreme powerhouse of Sahā Heaven that subconsciously looked down upon everyone else as weak, puny creatures.

Now, the indifference in Xu Disheng’s eyes truly stemmed from his own heart. He was already beginning to show signs of the fledgling stages of the Will of Heaven Psyche.

The Will of Heaven Psyche belonging to the Immortals from many eons ago was an extremely cold and ruthless frame of mind, but still held a trace of tolerance for their own kind.

But Xu Disheng’s Will of Heaven Psyche was different from even the Immortal beings of old, being utterly indifferent and selfish to the extreme!

Under heaven and earth, only I can live forever. No other being will be permitted!

Under heaven and earth, only I can transcend. No other being will be permitted!

Under heaven and earth, I, alone, am Immortal. Aside from me, no other being can become an Immortal!

In this world, I will personally create the shackles of fate, firmly tying down countless beings with the lock of destiny that I have established. These countless beings will be suppressed for eternity, and they will never have any chance of rebellion. No being’s lifespan can exceed 100 years, and the rest of their lifespans will serve as my sustenance for countless eons!

Suppressing countless beings in the three heavens and nine realms, depriving them of their lifespan, reestablishing the order of heaven and earth, and returning everything in this world to the predestined fate that I have established, from which they will never be freed.

This is the true path of Xu Disheng!

No one would have thought that this consciousness, born due to an accident and reincarnated as a Spirit Race after death, would experience the unique convergence of coincidences and opportunities that would allow him to become a true Immortal.
