Advancing to the Heavenly Master Realm, Shocking the Mansion Master

Ten years have passed, and the Celestial Masters' Mansion has undergone tremendous changes.

The demonic sects and Demon Sect grew increasingly rampant, and the land below the mountain was shrouded in ghostly energy, with evil spirits running rampant.

The Celestial Masters' Mansion's Mansion sent several groups of disciples down the mountain to exorcise demons, but less than half of them returned.

Several of Li Mo's senior brothers, who had previously told him with smiles that they would bring him sweet cakes from the foot of the mountain when they returned, never came back.

Even several elders at the Union with the True Realm within the manor were severely injured, their blood staining the stone steps in front of the Three Pure Ones Hall.

The Celestial Masters' Mansion has been a place of worship for thousands of years, but in recent decades, its popularity has declined year by year.

The wind howled and cranes cried out on the mountain; the disciples were all silent, and even the sound of the bell seemed deeper than before.

Chen Du knew the time had come.

After ten years of accumulation, his cultivation level had been stuck at the Peak Stage of the Seventh Realm of Union with the True for far too long.

If he hadn't been constantly suppressed, he would have been able to touch the threshold of the Eighth Realm long ago.

Tonight, he doesn't intend to wait any longer.

He swallowed a pill he had refined himself, a "Dragon-Tiger True-Congealing Pill" made with Dao Resonance and spiritual materials from the earth's veins, which was extremely potent.

The pill entered my stomach, like a warm fire spreading in my dantian, or like a long-dormant dragon slowly opening its eyes.

Chen Du felt his meridians surging, and all the skills, Dao Resonance, Thunder Method, golden light, swordsmanship, and internal energy he had acquired over the past ten years were ignited at this moment.

[Divine Revelation Reading Triggered: You begin to integrate what you have gained over the past ten years. You pull all of these into your sea of consciousness: "Supreme Ten Directions Divine Sky Five Thunders Golden Light Fire Cloud Supreme-Clarity Cavern-Mystery Divine-Sky General Principle Golden Light Mantra", "Supreme Purple Mansion Divine Firmament Five Thunder Slaying Evil Orthodox Method Mantra", "Supreme Purity Cave Northern Emperor Demon-Subduing Great Method Subduing Demon Great Method", "Dragon-Tiger Sword Dao True Explanation", "Seven-Star Heaven-Ruling Dipper-Stepping True Scripture", "Cloud-Water Heart-Cleansing Spirit-Refining Great Method", as well as various elixir formulas.]

You no longer see them as separate methods, but rather dismantle and reassemble them, like merging countless streams into a single great river.

[You have realized that the golden light is the body, the five thunders are the application, the sword is the edge, the stars are the formation, and the cleansing of the heart is the root. The Celestial Masters' Mansion's Mansion lineage is of the same origin.]

You used the Golden Light Mantra as the general principle, the Five Thunders Orthodox Method for combat, the Dragon-Tiger Sword Dao as the sharp edge, the Seven-Star Dipper-Stepping as the formation, and the Cloud-Water Heart Cleansing as the inner cultivation, integrating everything you had gained over the past ten years into one.

Your Union with the True Dao Resonance has become more solid than ever before, like a sword blank forged through countless hammer blows, awaiting only the spark to ignite.

Then, you divert your attention to comprehend the Spirit Martial Status. This Divine Status comes from the Spirit Martial Realm and is the authority of a realm. You lay it out in your sea of consciousness and look at it as if you were looking at a miniature map of a world.

Mountains, rivers, all living beings, destiny—all are contained within. You finally understand that the power of this Divine Status lies not in strength, but in "momentum."

When the power of an entire realm is bestowed upon one, it becomes the power of Celestial Master. If the Spirit Martial Status is the seal of a nation, then the Celestial Master Fruition is the decree stamped upon that seal.

[Next, you will comprehend the Cangming Abyss, which is your Foundation Establishment Divine Foundation. It is the Dao fruit condensed from the Dao of the Golden-Nature Fruition. Abyss means deep, and Cangming means sea.]

When you observe this Divine Foundation with the Dao Resonance of the Celestial Masters' Mansion, you will realize that it is not merely the foundation of Immortal Dao, but also an ocean eye capable of containing Dao Resonance. The Dao Resonance of the Celestial Master Realm is like the sea, and the Cangming Abyss is the abyss capable of containing this sea.

[The two great Divine Status, one that governs the power of a realm and the other that encompasses the essence of all laws, you have not merged them.]

One exists in the Spirit Martial Realm, and the other in the Immortal Dao; their systems are different, and their paths are different, like the sun and moon each following their own orbit.

But once you fully comprehend them all, your path to becoming Celestial Master will be unobstructed.

[You are attempting to reach the Eighth Realm, the Gate of the Celestial Master. Before you lies a celestial gate shrouded in mist, unopened for a thousand years.]

But when you, with the power of Spirit Martial Status and the depths of the Cangming Abyss, crashed into that door, the entire Longhu Mountain seemed to tremble in the shadows.

Dust and ash fell from the door, and then golden light, lightning, sword light, starlight, and water light appeared all at once, transforming into a giant hand that forcefully pushed open the heavenly gate.

[As one night passed, the Heavenly Gate opened, and your aura surged like a river bursting its banks, rising steadily. You stepped into the Celestial Master realm in Union with the True step, reaching the Eighth Realm. You have succeeded.]

Chen Du opened his eyes. The sky outside was just beginning to brighten, and dew covered the grass. It was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

Within his body, the Daoist Dao Resonance Union with the True had been completely transformed into the Celestial Master's Dharma Intent, and lightning appeared and disappeared with every move he made, while golden light was concealed within.

[Spirit Martial Status] and [Cangming Abyss] are suspended in two separate places, operating independently without interfering with each other, yet simultaneously pushing his aura to an unprecedented height.

On this morning, the Celestial Masters' Mansion rang its morning bell as usual.

The sound of the bell broke through the mountain mist, startling several gray cranes that were perched under the eaves of the palace.

But just as the bell tolled to an end, a very faint aura dissipated.

The aura appeared for only a moment, so brief it was almost an illusion.

But at that very moment, Zhou Xuanzhen, the prefect who was presiding over the morning prayers in the Three Pure Ones Hall, suddenly trembled, and the three incense sticks in his hand broke off all at once.

He suddenly looked up and gazed outside the hall, his expression changing drastically.

At the same moment, several Divine Thoughts emerged from the depths of each peak, wandering around like startled snakes.

The First Elder Zhang Shouyi, the Second Elder Zhao Qingxuan, the Head of the Punishment Hall Sun Xuanzhao, and several reclusive old masters were all startled out by that aura.

"Heavenly Master Realm?" Zhou Xuanzhen disregarded his morning lessons and left the Three Pure Ones Hall in a flash.

He stood on the stone steps in front of the hall, his expression shifting between light and shadow, his lips slightly pale. "No, this doesn't seem like the fluctuations one should have when breaking through to a higher realm, yet that aura is definitely that of the Heavenly Master Realm, and..."

"And what?" Zhang Shouyi landed from mid-air, his expression equally unpleasant.

"The energy is even more profound than what was recorded in the notes left by our patriarch."

After Zhou Xuanzhen finished speaking, he fell silent.

Several immortals gathered again on the Star-Watching Platform deep within the Celestial Masters' Mansion. They each released their Divine Thought, scanning the entire Longhu Mountain again and again.

But that aura vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

With their cultivation at the Union with the True Unity Realm, they couldn't even determine the other party's origin, location, or even whether they were still in the mountains.

"I can't see through it." Zhao Qingxuan gave a bitter smile. "I've cultivated for almost several hundred years, and this is the first time I feel like I'm blind."

"It's not that we can't see through him," Sun Xuanzhao deep voice, "It's that that person is no longer within our comprehension."

"Who could it be?" Zhang Shouyi frowned deeply. "When did such a person appear in the manor? The golden light that night ten years ago, and the thunderous intent at the Thunder Altar afterward—it seems they are all related to this person."

Zhou Xuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back. His lips moved, but he only uttered one sentence. "If he is truly a member of my Celestial Masters' Mansion, then it is a blessing for my mansion. I'm just afraid that this person... doesn't even put Longhu Mountain in his eyes."

No one spoke. The morning bell had rung, and the mountains returned to tranquility.

However, these figures standing at the pinnacle of the Celestial Masters' Mansion were all extremely excited.

Because they finally realized that there was someone in the Celestial Masters' Mansion who was beyond their comprehension.

And that person's aura, which had just been revealed, was only a trace.
