The Road Ahead, the Aftermath, Arrival, the Bronze Divine Tree
"The next step is to deduce how the Purple Mansion Divine Ability can be cultivated into Golden Nature, in preparation for attaining the fruition of emptiness in the future."
"My Five Immortals' Golden Nature wasn't something I refined myself; it was a feedback from my Qi Destiny and position. I still need to learn from and refer to the condensation methods of other systems."
Other matters are being overseen by [Spirit Radiance], and the disciples are tasked with accumulating Qi Destiny; I don't need to pay much attention to them.
Then, Wang An's figure faded away and disappeared from the spot, entering the blessed land.
This blessed land, now spanning a thousand miles, resembled a small world. However, aside from the fact that the laws contained within the two energy bodies representing the Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang were more concentrated, there weren't many changes.
The blessed land is still land in the middle, with a river encircling its edge.
The land is blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is teeming with spiritual plants and beasts. At this moment, the energy concentration in the blessed land has been completely transformed into the Initial Tier level 3 [Life Spiritual Primordial Qi], and the [Postnatal Life Dharma Primordial Qi] that is constantly being transformed and refined from the energy of the external space at the center.
Wang An arrived at the center, which is also the core of the entire blessed land. The spatial laws here are the most concentrated, and it is also the window connecting the earth to the outside world. It is like an umbilical cord that constantly absorbs the energy of the Great Void land outside the blessed land and grows strong.
Besides this spatial law, there is also a law of [Postnatal Life Dharma Primordial Qi] bestowed by Wang An, which automatically refines Dharma Primordial Qi here to supply rapid cultivation.
As the ancestor of all paths, there's no need to worry about these resources. Sit down cross-legged and perceive the fluctuations and collisions of the laws of space, calculating the subtle principles involved.
Time passed slowly, and four years flew by. On the [Heavenly River] ship, we were traveling at a speed faster than light, covering 3,000 light-years in the Dark Universe.
At this time, most Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators have already cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining of [Heavenly Register Qi Refining Cultivator]. They are now further transforming their previous understanding of spells into natural laws and constructing heavenly talismans and images that suit them.
Under normal circumstances, without the aid of a professional stone and ordination, the cultivation process is relatively difficult.
In response to the need for large-scale cultivation of the Heavenly Talisman system by humankind, Dao Foundation cultivators have fixed the Heavenly Talismans through methods such as weapon crafting, talisman drawing, and Formation Domain, providing everyone with the conditions to access and visualize them.
In this way, one can visualize oneself receiving the ordination, and after successfully receiving the ordination through visualization, one can embark on the path of comprehending the principles of the Dharma and refining the Mystic Qi.
Of course, there is Avatar here who can perform the ordination ceremony for them. Although his Heavenly Talisman has advanced to the higher-dimensional [Purple Gold Mansion], its original functions are still included. In his understanding, it is enough to just break it down a little bit.
This would naturally speed up their cultivation. However, since they are currently in outer space, it is unlikely that they can absorb the corresponding Five Elements elements imagery within this warship, unless they obtain the Dao Foundation of imagery such as Yin and Yang and Yang, stars, or the void. However, the relevant laws and Dao Foundation have not yet been born, and they will need to overcome many difficulties to cultivate on their own.
At this moment, Taichang came to the bridge of the warship and asked [Spirit Radiance] a question.
How much longer until we arrive?
The image of a young woman, [Spirit Radiance], was projected, simultaneously displaying the current navigation location, and she replied.
"We have now entered the Bronze Star Sector. Having obtained the access code from Lord [Submerged Water Priest], we did not linger upon entering the Bronze Star Sector. We submitted an entry application and proceeded directly to the planetary system where the Bronze Academy is located. We will arrive in about a month."
At this moment, the Avatar also awoke from its long comprehension of the laws and came to the cockpit by the porthole to give [Spirit Radiance] a command.
"Retrieve and report the flight logs from these past few days."
"Okay, real person."
"We have been traveling for four years and one month on Blue Star. During our journey, we received information from three powerful human beings of three different types who are still handling the aftermath and exploring in [Clear Void Heaven]."
"In the aftermath of this incident, the [Greedy Devouring] Fiend was sealed away by the Queen of a Hundred Flowers and the True King Qingshang, and dismantled into scattered fragments of law. Its original form was retrieved by the [Galactic Transcendent Council] Tribunal for further long-term harmless treatment."
"However, we have some clear information about the origin of the Chaos Demon God's remains. The information says that it was probably captured or killed and decomposed using some High Tier methods at the beginning of the Dharma-ending Age."
The reason why the Supreme Clarity Immortal Sect split was because the first generation Dilingzi and Qingxuzi, had different ideas about how to deal with the remains of the demon god.
One side believes it can be incorporated into the fragments of a blessed land to create a small immortal realm, ensuring longevity. The other side believes it can be extracted from the remains of a demon god to obtain its crucial High Tier essence, thereby advancing to the Void Refinement realm and then ascending to immortality.
"Neither side expected that the fragmented consciousness of that demon god was so adept at manipulating people's hearts. Influenced by its greed and emotional nature, the cultivators from both sides fought fiercely, leading to the current situation. Judging from the small fragments obtained from other realms, several other forces should also have been involved, but these smaller fragments have already been collected by the adults."
"Those mysterious forbidden zones seem to have some special rules that prevent beings of higher High Tier from entering and exploring them. Similarly, beings of High Tier who enter them almost certainly die."
The council has stopped organizing its own explorations and has instead opened the area to cultivators from other factions. Based on information from the past year or two, this event should be nearing its end. Due to the decline of Dharma and the decreasing concentration of spiritual energy, this region produces very few Middle Tier resources, greatly reducing its attractiveness.
Upon seeing this information, the Avatar remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"We'll see how the Transcendent Council treats the humans and those with a cultivation worldview there afterward."
The Grand Master of Taichang beside him did not change his expression.
For cultivators like them, the concept of the human race is only frequently mentioned when energy is extremely abundant. After a long period of conquest, most of the demon race in [Clear Void Heaven] has become their domesticated spirit beasts.
"As for those two smaller secret realms, there are also some demon clans and human dynasties, but the spiritual energy concentration there is even lower, only enough to support Foundation Establishment cultivators at most. They have no interest in ruins that are generally only accessible to Middle Tier or higher experts."
He then Avatar and spoke to Taichang.
"Taichang, summon all disciples who are still deeply engaged in cultivation. We will soon arrive at the planetary system where the Bronze Academy is located. Besides this exchange, we will also take the opportunity to find a suitable place for you to cultivate and prove your Dao Foundation."
"Disciple obeys."
For cultivators at the Dao Foundation and Purple Mansion stages, a month passes in the blink of an eye.
When the Heavenly River destroyer slows down and stops traveling faster than light, it enters the material universe from the Dark Universe.
A vast planetary system came into view. This planetary system consisted of two stars: a yellow dwarf similar to our Solar System and a blue giant with a pale blue glow.
As the probe zoomed in, the group discovered that the blue star was half-supported and enveloped by a massive, bronze-colored structure at least the same size as the star.
It's like a blue fruit growing on a giant tree with the astronomical volume of a star, while the yellow dwarf star revolves around this bronze-colored tree.
The Avatar then introduced himself to the group of anonymous disciples.
"This is the world-renowned Bronze Divine Tree of the Bronze Academy, which is said to be able to extract dark energy from the Dark Universe and condense it into this blue star, providing more abundant light and energy to the entire planetary system."
