Chapter 957: Advancing to the Dao Mastery, Shocking Everyone
Editor: Henyee Translations
The power of the Daoless Black Lotus penetrated Jiang Chengxuan’s physical form, reaching his sea of consciousness and forming a thread that firmly anch.o.r.ed him, preventing his consciousness from being devoured by the primordial chaos.
The Daoless Black Lotus, originating from the outer realm, inherently possesses the power to disregard s.p.a.ce-time and rules, which proved to be particularly effective for Jiang Chengxuan as he navigated the primordial chaos.
The outer realm is a domain of chaos that existed even before the universe was born, its nature enigmatic and undefined, much like the primordial world itself—both are ancient beyond measure.
Jiang Chengxuan’s consciousness slowly began to recover. He felt as if there was a light above him, like a door at the end of the universe.
Falling through it could lead to unimaginable consequences, where no one would be able to find him.
Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
Because the process was too smooth, he was too anxious.
Under the enhancement of the breakthrough power, his comprehension ability soared. In an instant, he could see thousands of transformations.
The thing he yearned for was at his fingertips. In the end, he could not stop himself from remaining composed.
However, fortunately, he still had such a backup plan that could avert danger.
The Daoless Black Lotus woke him from the state of being devoured, enabling his escape from danger.
By recalling the myriad transformations he directly recorded in his mind and reversing them, he found his way back.
With the Daoless Black Lotus’s guidance, the primordial chaos could no longer consume his consciousness.
Thus, Jiang Chengxuan gradually moved away from the eternal light above, cautiously retreating to his starting point, with utmost focus and without any oversight.
This process, immensely slow and time-consuming, allowed Jiang Chengxuan to return to his initial state of enlightenment just before the power of the Daoless Black Lotus dissipated.
Back in reality, his body fully recovered, averting the crisis perfectly.
Phew.
Jiang Chengxuan sighed in relief, surprised that even with thorough preparation, the breakthrough was fraught with danger.
Yet, it was all worth it.
In his sea of consciousness, a colorful orb of light was bursting with radiance, immensely powerful.
It was the seed of the Dao he had comprehended in the primordial world.
It was the Law of Creation!
Only such power could guide the Dao of the Five Elements and the Cycle of Samsara, and it was this force Jiang Chengxuan nearly got swallowed by the primordial chaos for.
Fortunately, it resulted in significant gains.
Jiang Chengxuan consolidated all his powers—understanding, Dharmic power, and Primordial Spirit—back into his being,
The world of the Five Elements and the Cycle of Samsara continued to manifest, playing out the cycle of creation and destruction.
In the next moment, Jiang Chengxuan slowly threw the colorful seed in his sea of consciousness into the Five Elements and the Cycle of Samsara.
Immediately after, a tremendously powerful force erupted, enveloping everything without a hint of destruction, only creation.
Under this force, the Dao of the Five Elements and the Cycle of Samsara harmonized perfectly, without conflict or suppression.
With the seed of creation’s help, Jiang Chengxuan completely grasped the Five Elements Dao and the Samsara Dao.
It was even higher than this world itself.
Now, Jiang Chengxuan had gathered all the conditions for advancing to the realm of Dao Mastery.
All that was left was the pa.s.sage of time to fully open the doors to this realm.
Time flew swiftly.
The seclusion restrictions of Cloud Mist Peak were lifted after a hundred years, marking a century since Jiang Chengxuan officially began his seclusion, a period during which there had been no disturbance.
On a certain day, a heart-thumping aura emanated from Cloud Mist Peak, reaching every cultivator of the Haoran Sect.
They felt a sense of oppressive mire, leading some to wonder if an enemy had infiltrated the Haoran Sect.
However, such a notion was quickly dismissed with laughter; the Haoran Sect, now an overlord force, was not easily challenged.
Thus, speculation about the origin of this daunting aura persisted.
Where did this shocking aura come from?
Rumble!
Just as everyone was still thinking in confusion, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded.
At the same time, a powerful seven-colored energy suddenly erupted on Cloud Mist Peak, shocking everyone.
This terrifying force shot straight into the sky, its magnitude rivaling that of a Mahayana Daolord.
Even the Haoran Sect’s protective array quivered under its influence. This was an astonishing feat.
In an instant, Qin Shenwu, Xue Ping, Leng Yuehua, and the others could feel the overwhelming suppression of this power.
All the elders of the Haoran Sect flew out of the hall and stood in the air with solemn expressions.
Could it be that there was really a powerful force that wanted to attack the Haoran Sect?
“Hahaha!”
Yet, amidst the tension, Qin Shenwu’s laughter rang out, puzzling everyone.
What could possibly bring such joy to a Mahayana Daolord under these circ.u.mstances?
“Senior Brother, what’s going on?”
Leng Yuehua could tell that Qin Shenwu knew what was going on, so she asked him.
Hearing this, Qin Shenwu revealed a proud expression and said loudly,
“That means Cheng Xuan is coming out of seclusion!”
Jiang Chengxuan? Out of seclusion?
In an instant, all the upper echelons of the Haoran Sect were even more confused. Only Leng Yuehua was shocked.
“Jiang Chengxuan, is he going to break through to the Dao Mastery?”
Leng Yuehua said in disbelief, but what she received was another burst of laughter from Qin Shenwu.
This was undoubtedly an answer to this question. This commotion that alarmed the entire Haoran Sect was actually caused by Jiang Chengxuan’s breakthrough.
In an instant, everyone was stunned. Even Sect Master Xue Ping was in disbelief.
He had vaguely heard about Jiang Chengxuan’s seclusion. To cultivators, seclusion was a common occurrence.
However, he did not know that Jiang Chengxuan was actually in seclusion to break through to the Dao Mastery.
In what felt like a brief period, Jiang Chengxuan had achieved another breakthrough, a notion both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Not just Xue Ping, but everyone present shared this sentiment.
Jiang Chengxuan arrived at the Haoran Sect later than many of them, but his realm was already higher than many of them.
Now, he was about to break through to the Dao Mastery.
Even though they had witnessed Jiang Chengxuan’s rise, they could not help but exclaim.
Such talent was really unimaginable.
Such prowess made it seem like even advancing to a Mahayana Daolord would be a minor challenge for Jiang Chengxuan in the future.
