Chapter 2305: Chapter 169: Celebration (Correction—This Chapter is Supplentary)
Cloud Sky Arena.
Qianguang Cave.
Wang Ba and the young man in purple robes stood at the entrance of the cave, listening to the young man in purple robes sigh with emotion:
“This place is where the Patriarchs of our Sect went into seclusion to break through. It gathers the spirit and fortune of this Domain and contains countless insights and Dao Intention from previous breakthroughs. Only those cultivators within the Sect who have the hope of reaching Mahayana have been allowed to retreat here…”
Wang Ba’s expression changed with emotion, and he quickly said:
“Such preciousness, how could I dare to enter.”
Upon hearing this, the young man in purple robes smiled slightly and looked at Wang Ba, saying:
“Taoist Friend is joking. If even soone with your foundation does not have hope for Mahayana, then who can enter this place?”
“However, since Taoist Friend is not of our Sect, while I can make an exception for you, we cannot go too far. Let’s limit it to three days. After three days, I will personally co to cleanse you and celebrate your great achievent!”
“Three days…”
Wang Ba mused for a mont and nodded, saying:
“In that case, I shall accept with thick skin.”
The young man in purple robes smiled slightly:
“Please.”
Without hesitation, Wang Ba walked into the cave.
The cave entrance closed, and after walking for dozens of steps, he arrived at a spacious area with its own heaven and earth.
Illuminated by heavenly light, the only thing beneath it was a stone futon.
Walking over to it and looking up, it was as if standing at the bottom of a well with an open sky.
Outside the ‘mouth of the well’, countless lights from Domains could be seen, flickering like stars, perhaps revealing so insight.
Glancing around, the four walls were adorned with countless divine patterns, seemingly from different hands—so with just a few strokes, others with crude markings, and others with flowing script and free spirit.
“After a thousand years of seclusion, I have finally broken through to Mahayana! Today, I realized a marvelous skill, like a teor…”
“Outside ti, naturally gained. Who can fathom the creation and destruction in this world…”
“Emptiness of emptiness, nothingness of nothingness, until there is no more emptiness possible, the ultimate is reached…”
So in words, others in aning preceding words.
But most could no longer be described with language.
This is because the mysterious Dao is hard to depict, and as the saying goes, words are limited but aning is infinite; to speak of it is already wrong, to think of it is already an error.
Only by rging mind and spirit, as if transcending thousands, ten thousands, a hundred thousand years… wandering through the long river of wisdom, accumulation, and Dao collisions ignited by countless past cultivators who contemplated here for thousands of years, jubilantly traveling, sharing their cries, sorrows, and joys.
He seed to see figures overlapping on the futon.
So deep in thought, so laughing heartily, so rising and pacing, so bowing and raising the head without sha.
In that mont, Wang Ba already sank into the vast realizations accumulated behind the seemingly sudden flashes of inspiration left by countless forr cultivators of the Cloud Sky Sect.
The knowledge and cultivation, the observations and thoughts from his journey collided and fused with these realizations.
As if a furnace, throwing it all inside, blazing fiercely!
“The Dao of Cultivation encompasses all phenona.”
“The sun and moon of the world, frost and snow, like the Five Elents and Yin and Yang, thunder and rain, these are called Dao.”
“Human joys and sorrows, earth, fire, water, and wind, either calm or wild, these are also called Dao.”
“The falling of plants, flying birds and beasts, all these are part of the heavens and beyond, this still is called Dao.”
“All things as image, as the origin, open eyes close eyes, then all born and die with .”
“No, this is the mundane Dao of cultivation, not my Dao of cultivation…”
Wang Ba quickly shook his head, severing this realization, and as wisdom broke forth in his mind, spiritual light gushed like a spring:
“I am not , but emptiness, all things flow, eventually returning to the void, without choosing self, then one can beco great…”
Thinking of this, joy arose more and more in his heart.
The many techniques he cultivated, their essences, such as Beast Control, sword skills, spirit food, Yin and Yang and the Five Elents, Wind, Thunder, Ice, and Star, Divine Pattern Rites, and more, finally found a place.
At this mont, Wang Ba’s Primordial Spirit slowly beca ethereal.
No longer the appearance of a young man, rather it gradually turned into a non-black non-white void.
Various Dao Treasures fell into this void of the Primordial Spirit, like starlight adorning it.
It no longer bore the pressure of Dao Treasures, instead, it acted like a black hole, ceaselessly absorbing the subtle spirit machine and Dao Intention around it, nourishing and strengthening.
All is void, hence boundless, all things can be used.
Feeling the changes in the Primordial Spirit.
A sense of joy arose within Wang Ba’s heart:
“All phenona like all flows, all flows return to the Sect.”
“Let this Primordial Spirit skill be called ‘All Flows Return to the Sect’.”
At the next mont.
The sound outside suddenly rang out:
“Taoist Friend Taiyi, the celebration feast has arrived, please leave seclusion.”
Wang Ba was shocked, and then withdrew from that mysterious state.
Looking down, the futon was still the futon, quietly staying under the heavenly light.
On the four walls of the sky well, rugged yet where were the divine patterns.
Everything seed like a dream, yet everything was vivid in mory.
Wang Ba retreated two steps, respectfully bowed toward the futon, then turned and strode out, loudly responding:
“Taoist Brother Bai, here I co.”
…
“Taoist Friend Taiyi, these three days have been preparing for the celebration feast outside, and just as before we never properly welcod you, so we’ll handle it all together now.”
The young man in purple robes walked with Wang Ba with a smile, but it was not just the young man in purple robes at his sides; there were also three late-stage Crossing Tribulation cultivators, one from the Cloud Sky Sect, and the other two were also external allies but from different Domains.
At this mont, they conversed jovially with Wang Ba, clearly already seeing him as an equal in stature.
Although there remained an overwhelming gap in realms and strength between them, it was only a matter of ti before Wang Ba broke through and this gap would be swiftly erased. It’s better to offer help in a tily manner than to befriend after the success; though Wang Ba wasn’t in dire straits, it was still better than waiting for his cultivation to reach Dacheng and then making acquaintances.
