Chapter 1894
Waxing and Waning
At the instant he saw this young woman, Zhuowen suddenly recalled the line "This song should only exist in the heavens, how many times can one hear it in the mortal world?"
Even though this young woman before him wasn't a song, the overflowing immortal aura she revealed could be used in this poem. It could be said that this woman should only exist in the heavens, how many times can one see it in the mortal world?
It could be said that this woman's entire body revealed an indistinct immortal aura, and she was like a sparkling and translucent lotus that could only be admired from afar and not touched.
"Lian Meng greets Master and Martial Uncle Yu Qing!"
The young woman walked slowly to the side of the pill furnace and bowed respectfully to Yu Qing and Yu Qing. At the same time, her beautiful eyes sized up Zhuowen who stood by Yu Qing's side.
"Hehe, little girl, you've already grown so big in the blink of an eye. Time really passes quickly!"
Yu Qing chuckled as he walked towards Lian Meng, and his right hand intended to touch Lian Meng's head.
Lian Meng wrinkled her beautiful nose and took a step with her right foot, yet she took a miraculous step and just happened to dodge Yu Qing's right hand.
Zhuowen's pupils couldn't help but constrict when he saw all of this. Yu Qing's hand wasn't simple, and it contained a rather powerful law. If it was him, Zhuowen, then he would have to use a fourth level Dao Insight to dodge this hand.
However, this young woman before him actually dodged Yu Qing's hand so easily. Looks like this young woman isn't simple.
"Yu Qing, don't mess around. Lian Meng doesn't like having her head touched by you!"
Yu Qing stopped Yu Qing, and then he arrived before Lian Meng and pointed at Zhuowen. "Lian Meng, he's Zhuowen. He'll be your Junior Brother from now on!"
Lian Meng sized up Zhuowen rather curiously, and then she curled her lips and said, "He's only at the initial-stage of the Heavenly God Realm?
Moreover, I see that his entire body is covered in the aura of death, and his vitality is ceaselessly flowing away. Obviously, he won't be able to live for long. Why would Master take in someone who's about to die? "
Zhuowen furrowed his brows as he glanced at Lian Meng. He was unable to see through Lian Meng's cultivation. Clearly, the latter's cultivation was much higher than his. However, wasn't this girl's personality a little too straightforward?
Grand Pure One did not mind and smiled at Zhuowen, "Zhuowen, don't mind him. Lian Meng has been living in the Hall of Virtue since he was young. He is pure and never beats around the bush."
Yu Qing also explained, "Lian Meng is even younger than you. She's only 63 years old this year."
"Only 63 years old?
Then her cultivation is … "Zhuowen's eyes narrowed as he asked in disbelief.
He could not see through Lian Meng's cultivation. It was clearly much higher than his, but she was actually younger than him. Wasn't she too much of a genius?
"Haha, this little girl just advanced to True God not long ago. Of course, the reason why her cultivation is so fast is largely due to her innate Immortal Physique. You must know that this little girl's cultivation was at True Immortal the moment she was born." Grand Pure One laughed.
Zhuowen was slightly shocked. Although he did not know what this so-called innate Immortal Physique was, hearing that Lian Meng was at True Immortal the moment she was born, he knew that this Immortal Physique was probably extremely rare and powerful.
At this moment, Zhuowen knew that outside of the Heavenly Armor Continent, in the boundless starry sky, there were many people who were more talented than him.
Moreover, the reason why Zhuowen's cultivation rose so fast was actually due to chance and luck. Among them, his Heavenly God cultivation was forcefully raised by Taoist Cang Long who sacrificed himself. Moreover, it was only temporary.
Lian Meng also saw the surprise in Zhuowen's eyes, and her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of complacency.
"Lian Meng, don't be complacent. Zhuowen has comprehended level four Dao Meaning. Although his cultivation is not as good as yours, his comprehension is much stronger than yours!" Grand Pure One laughed.
"What?
He has comprehended level four Dao Meaning? "
Lian Meng's beautiful eyes squinted as she stared at Zhuowen in an extremely cute manner. She thought that she would be able to see through Zhuowen with this stare, but she was unable to see anything.
"Alright, return to the Virtue Hall and cultivate first. I have some things to discuss with Zhuowen." Grand Pure One glanced at Lian Meng with a rather doting gaze.
"No, cultivating every day is truly too boring. I want to go out and play with Senior Sister Jing Hai and the others."
Lian Meng puckered her lips, and then she left the Virtue Hall eagerly.
A trace of amusement arose in Zhuowen's heart as he gazed at Lian Meng's figure that left. Every single action of Lian Meng is truly too childish, and he knew that it was related to Lian Meng's young age and lack of any cruel tempering.
When he thought about how he'd risked his life to cultivate for so many years yet his cultivation was still unable to compare to this young woman that was much younger than him, Zhuowen felt rather bitter in his heart. This is truly infuriating.
After Lian Meng left the Virtue Hall, Grand Pure One brought Zhuowen into the hall, whereas Yu Qing was sent away by Grand Pure One.
Within the dim hall, Grand Pure One had his hands behind his back as he silently gazed at the enormous stone statue before the hall. Zhuowen stood silently behind him in silence.
"Zhuowen, you must be very puzzled. I clearly know that your vitality is ceaselessly flowing away and you're dead for sure, yet I still took you as my disciple, right?"
Grand Pure One spoke abruptly, and his flat voice slowly reverberated within the hall.
Zhuowen gazed calmly at Grand Pure One's figure, yet he didn't answer and still maintained his silence.
"You ought to have suspected that I probably have another objective for taking you as my disciple, right?"
Grand Pure One slowly turned around and stared calmly at Zhuowen before he continued. "Could it be that … you don't have anything to say?"
Zhuowen raised his head slightly and gazed into Grand Pure One's eyes as he smiled faintly. "Master, I'm already endlessly grateful that you've helped me settle down the people of Heavenly Armor Continent. If there's anything you want me to do, I'll do it without hesitation."
Grand Pure One's gaze became complicated as he nodded lightly and sighed. "Zhuowen, Dao Intent was created by me. It can increase a cultivator's overall strength, and it can be said to be an extremely powerful support force."
"Although Dao Intent has a total of nine levels, as the creator, I've actually only established the first eight levels and have never been able to break through to the ninth level!"
At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Grand Pure One's face. Clearly, Grand Pure One was rather dissatisfied that he couldn't break through to the ninth level.
Zhuowen's eyes flickered. He didn't expect Grand Pure One, the creator of Dao Intent, to actually be unable to establish the ninth level of Dao Intent.
At the same time, Zhuowen recalled that Grand Pure One had taken him in as his disciple because Zhuowen had comprehended three levels of Dao Intent. He knew that this was definitely inseparable from Dao Intent.
Zhuowen didn't answer. He gazed silently at Grand Pure One because he knew Grand Pure One hadn't finished speaking.
Grand Pure One continued. "For the sake of establishing the ninth level of Dao Intent, I've tried many methods, but they were still useless."
"However, in the end, I found a rather extreme method, and it required me to completely observe the concept of the ninth level of Dao Intent. Only in this way would I be able to completely comprehend the ninth level of Dao Intent."
Zhuowen frowned slightly. He was slightly unable to understand Grand Pure One's words. Even Grand Pure One himself was unable to comprehend the ninth level of Dao Intent, so how would he observe the concept of the ninth level of Dao Intent?
Isn't this nonsense?
Grand Pure One noticed the bewilderment on Zhuowen's face as well. With a flick of his finger, countless strands of violet qi flashed out from the tip of his finger before condensing into a violet crystal above him.
This violet crystal was enshrouded with misty violet qi, and it looked illusory and mysterious.
Zhuowen stared at the violet crystal and instantly fell into a daze. But in next to no time, he recovered from his shock, and he stared at the violet crystal with a fearful gaze.
"This violet crystal is called Dao Insight Crystal, and it's a crystal that I condensed on my own after comprehending Dao Insights for countless years. It contains all my comprehensions from the first level of Dao Insight to the eighth level of Dao Insight."
As he spoke, Grand Pure One passed the violet crystal to Zhuowen and said, "Zhuowen, this Dao Insight Crystal contains the Dao I've comprehended. If others forcefully comprehend the eighth level Dao Insight within it, then they'll fall into a muddle-headed state and very likely lose their minds."
"But only geniuses that have comprehended Dao Insights are able to instantly attain the eighth level of Dao Insight after absorbing this Dao Insight Crystal. Moreover, at the instant they attain the peak of the eighth level of Dao Insight, they'll release a trace of ninth level Dao Insight, and I'm doing this for the sake of that trace of ninth level Dao Insight."
Zhuowen received the violet crystal. Even though Grand Pure One spoke in an extremely obscure manner, Zhuowen was still able to discern the meaning behind Grand Pure One's words.
Obviously, Grand Pure One wanted him to absorb this Dao Insight Crystal and forcefully advance his Dao Insight to the eighth level, whereas the side effect was that he might be affected by the eighth level Dao Insight and lose his mind.
Zhuowen wasn't enraged nor was he sorrowful, and he only had tranquility like an ancient well. He looked at Grand Pure One and said, "Master, how much time do I have left?"
Grand Pure One glanced at Zhuowen and sighed lightly. "You still have half a year. Even though my actions are indeed slightly inappropriate, but …"
Zhuowen waved his hand instead and said, "Master, there's no need to say that. I know that Master pursues the ultimate Dao. Not to mention that this life of mine was saved by Master, so I'm extremely gratified to be able to do something for Master."
When he spoke up to here, Zhuowen spoke once more. "Master, is there anything in the Huaxia Domain that can balance the Yin and Yang of the soul?"
Grand Pure One's eyes flickered as he said solemnly, "Something that can balance the Yin and Yang of the soul?
Our Huaxia Domain only has the Yin Yang Fish that can balance the Yin and Yang of the body, but we don't have anything that can balance the Yin and Yang of the soul. This is already something that touches the depths of the soul, and it's extremely rare. "
Disappointment appeared in Zhuowen's eyes when he heard that. He naturally thought of Mu Chenxue when he asked this question.
Back then, Elder Gu had said that Mu Chenxue's soul had used the Profound Soul Ice Crystal, causing her soul to have an excess of Yin Qi, causing her soul to become extremely weak. If he couldn't balance the Yin and Yang of the soul, he wouldn't be able to save Mu Chenxue at all.
Now that the Heaven Domain was so vast, there were naturally many great figures who could save Mu Chenxue. However, the first and most crucial step now was to find the item that could balance the Yin and Yang of the soul.
"Even though the Huaxia Domain doesn't have it, Master knows that the Dafa Domain of the Eight Heavens seems to have it," Grand Pure One suddenly said.
"Where is it?" Zhuowen quickly asked.
True Lord of Morality and Nothingness said, "There's an extremely famous perilous place in the Brahma Domain. It's called Yinyang, Clear Moon, and Waning Moon. It's a lost galaxy, and every time Yinyang opens, the silhouettes of a yin moon and a yang sun will appear in its depths."
