Chapter 493: Chapter 493: Ancestral Master Chunyang Above

Xu Yunfan’s heart trembled when he heard this. His Divine Fragment in the Divine Martial Realm had been just like that, but he never expected Ancestral Master Chunyang to see through it with a single remark.

’This man’s Daoist Cultivation seems utterly boundless.’

He naturally knew that the Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture could sever a "True Body Dao Form." With his Attribute Panel, he learned the intricacies of each Realm he entered.

However, the Cultivation Technique at the Great Success Realm only allowed Xu Yunfan to separate a single Divine Fragment that was nearly one with his Origin.

It still fell short of a true True Body Dao Form.

He could only accomplish it upon reaching the Perfection realm.

"But..." Lv Chunyang’s tone shifted as he shook his head slightly. "With your current Cultivation Realm at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, even with the Cloud Scripture’s Wonderful Technique, you’re still a world away from the Perfection needed to sever a True Body Dao Form. A slow remedy won’t solve an urgent crisis."

Xu Yunfan wasn’t surprised to hear this. He glanced at the Attribute Panel in his vision.

His Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture was still 4,832 skill points away from Perfection.

After all, it hadn’t been long since he’d reached the Great Success Realm.

It was easy to reach Great Success, but difficult to attain Perfection.

This held true for both the Martial Dao he cultivated in the Divine Martial Realm and the Immortal Dao True Skill he practiced in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm.

Great Success was easy to enter, but Perfection was difficult to achieve.

To advance the Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture to Perfection would take twenty to thirty years, even with the aid of the Attribute Panel.

By then, it would be far too late.

"However..." Lv Chunyang’s voice rang out again, tinged with the calm of someone who had a plan all along. "Today, I have met a talented junior of our Taoist Sect and learned that our sect continues to flourish. Furthermore, I too am constrained by the karmic ties of the Buddhist Sect... As such, it is only right that I lend you a hand."

With a flick of his wide sleeve, a beam of Profound Light flew out. It was gentle yet majestic, as if it contained a wisp of the pure Vitality present at the dawn of creation.

The Profound Light hovered before Xu Yunfan. Its radiance slowly faded, revealing an object within.

It was a strange jewel, about the size of a human head. Its entire body was a chaotic, profound yellow, and its surface swirled with misty purple qi.

It seemed less a physical object and more the solid Manifestation of some Great Dao Law. Within it, countless tiny stars seemed to be born and extinguished. The stone contained a boundless yet gentle Primordial Life Essence Qi, and it radiated an aura of unyielding resilience, a virtuous capacity to bear all of creation.

"This is the Profound Yellow Fetal Stone."

"It is neither metal nor jade," Lv Chunyang explained. "In my youth, I roamed the cosmos beyond our realm and found it at a singularity of creation within the void. It contains a trace of the true mother qi of creation, from the dawn of chaos before Yin and Yang had separated."

"Its nature is a perfect match for the path of creation described in your Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture."

Overjoyed, Xu Yunfan bowed deeply. "Thank you for this treasure, Ancestral Master!"

He solemnly accepted the Profound Yellow Fetal Stone with both hands.

The moment he touched it, a notification suddenly popped up on his Attribute Panel.

’Innate Creation Source Material - Profound Yellow Mother Qi detected’

’The fact that the Attribute Panel generated a notification proves just how precious this Profound Yellow Fetal Stone must be. And Ancestral Master Chunyang just gave it to me like that.’

He was filled with immense gratitude.

A majestic Vitality emanated from the Fetal Stone’s gentle warmth. The spectacle of stars being born and dying within its chaotic, profound-yellow body grew even clearer, and the misty purple qi slithered like living snakes into the seven apertures of his head.

Before Xu Yunfan could even channel his energy, the head-sized Chaos Profound Stone, drawn by the Creation Mother Qi, dematerialized and collapsed. It transformed into a thick, rich, profound-yellow liquid that surged through his limbs and skeleton, seeping into his very being.

Xu Yunfan convulsed, his body instantly turning translucent like colored glaze.

Lv Chunyang said, "If not now, when?"

Not daring to hesitate, Xu Yunfan acted. Deep within the 365 major acupoints around his body, phantoms of the Eight Sceneries Divine Palace bloomed with a deafening roar.

The divine light of the Thunder Palace, churning with wind and thunder as dragons and snakes rose from the earth, was the first to solidify.

Next, the Li Kan Palace materialized as an intertwining of scorching Li fire and surging Kan water.

Finally, all the lights and shadows converged upon the Mixed Element Palace within the ancestral aperture between his brows. The boundless Power of Creation washed over every inch of his flesh and bone. The entire Grotto Void Heaven Realm was cast in a bizarre, kaleidoscopic glow by the eight-colored divine light.

"Focus your spirit! Sever a sliver of your will!"

Lv Chunyang’s sharp command boomed like thunder from the heavens, sending ripples through space.

The metallic tang of blood welled up in Xu Yunfan’s throat.

A soul-tearing agony shot through his Spirit Platform. He clenched his jaw, and as the Cloud Scripture’s Secret Technique activated, a sliver of brilliant Spiritual Light was forcibly sheared away from the core of his Primordial Spirit. It was condensed to the absolute limit, indistinguishable from his true Divine Soul.

This Divine Fragment carried with it all the phantom lights of the three divine palaces—Zhen, Li, and Kan—and slammed into the core of the Profound Yellow Mother Qi that hovered in the air.

HUMMM!

The scene in the hall changed in a flash, resembling the dawn of chaos.

The profound-yellow slurry boiled and churned. Guided and suppressed by the phantoms of the Eight Sceneries Divine Palace, it rapidly reassembled. Bones, sinews, and internal organs clearly formed within the roiling chaos, while countless tiny stars flickered in and out of existence within the new body’s meridians and acupoints.

In just a few breaths, a "True Body Dao Form" hovered in midair, radiating a boundless Vitality. It was identical to Xu Yunfan in appearance, but its entire body was covered in flowing, chaotic Dao Patterns, and its chest rose and fell faintly as it breathed the Profound Yellow Mother Qi.

But in the next instant, the identical body rapidly curled into a fetal position, losing Xu Yunfan’s appearance.

Just then, a cold light exploded in Lv Chunyang’s eyes. He formed a sword with his fingers and slashed down through the air.

"Sword Three: No Return!"

High on the Grotto Void dome, the dim Sword Intent inscribed with the two ancient words "No Return" flared to life. It transformed into a gray line of silent, traceless annihilation—a strike that went forth but never returned—and plummeted downward.

The sword light struck no physical entity. Instead, it precisely severed the invisible yet intimate Cause and Effect Threads connecting Xu Yunfan’s true body to the newborn True Body Dao Form.

RRRRIP!

Countless heavy, dark-gold chains, all covered in flowing Sanskrit Talismans, were forcibly ripped from Xu Yunfan’s skull by the gray Sword Intent.

Each chain was as solid as if it were real, radiating a terrifying Buddhist might. The ends of the chains pierced through the void, firmly anchored to the boundless golden Buddha Light in the distant Eastern Wilderness.

At the same time, the phantom of a Profound Turtle and snake, which was coiled in Xu Yunfan’s Dantian Qi Sea and condensed from the Martial Dao True Intent of the True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture, let out a mournful, unwilling hiss. It too was swept up by the No Return Sword Intent, torn completely from his body, and transformed into a beam of Black Water Profound Light that shot into the ancestral aperture of the True Body Dao Form’s brow.

A cold notification suddenly flashed on the Attribute Panel.

[Fundamental Technique Stripped: True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture (Transferred)]

In that instant, Xu Yunfan felt the invisible, mountain-like shackle that had constantly pulled him toward the Eastern Wilderness suddenly vanish.

His body felt light enough to fly, and his Divine Soul was unprecedentedly clear and pure.

"It’s done."

Lv Chunyang withdrew his sword-hand and stood with his arms clasped behind his back.

Within the Grotto Void Hall, the omnipresent, oppressive aura of his karmic ties to the Buddha’s Destiny had vanished completely. All that remained were the pure energies of Profound Yellow creation and a sharp sword intent.

However, the hovering True Body Dao Form suddenly opened its eyes, its coiled body unfurling.

Within the depths of its eyes, a dark-gold Buddha Light and the Dao Rhyme of the Black Water Black Tortoise fiercely intertwined, swirling without end. A new, powerful, and independent consciousness—one not entirely under its creator’s control—was budding and taking root.
