Chapter 661: Chapter 498: Duality of Yin and Yang Micro-Dust Treasure Body
...
The tone of Dharma Master Hong Jue carried a hint of nostalgia, as if reminiscing past dangers:
"To be honest, although I have gone to the source sea many times before, it was always my avatars that went."
"The source sea is perilous beyond measure, much more than what the classics can fully describe. Not only are there primordial beasts lurking, but also law storms tearing through the chaos."
"Many times, before the avatars could reach any opportunity, they were shredded by the turbulent currents or devoured by the beasts, without even a chance to send a message."
Dharma Master Hong Jue sighed softly:
"Previously, when I was stuck at the first step of Integration, my main battle avatars were weak, and every step was fraught with danger."
"Only until a hundred thousand years ago, when I broke through to the second step of Integration, and my strength improved further, did my avatars become less prone to destruction, allowing me to venture into some core areas."
...
Hearing this, Chen Sheng nodded gently, understanding in his heart:
"Upon reaching the Void Refining Realm, a cultivator can be ever-changing, splitting into countless thoughts and avatars. Integration Cultivators even more so, can split numerous avatars at will to roam the Grand Thousand."
"However, these avatars cannot bear the Dharma Seed, and their strength pales in comparison to the true body."
"Therefore, at the Integration Realm, unless it is to set up life-saving measures, most cultivators will not split too many avatars."
"The use of quantity is far inferior to quality."
"Most Dharma Masters would often choose to specially cultivate three to four primary battle avatars, with divine techniques as the foundation, secret techniques to temper the body... to enhance combat power."
"Using the main battle avatars to explore treasures and handle mundane affairs is both prudent and efficient."
He listened quietly, with growing confidence in his heart, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes, nodding:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for enlightening me. With such a detailed explanation, now I understand the depths of the source sea."
"However, after this Dao Assembly, I still need to enter the Mahayana Treasure Realm to comprehend, so I can only accompany you next time."
Upon hearing this, Dharma Master Hong Jue’s eyes showed a hint of regret. He stood up and cupped his hands:
"If that’s the case, then until next time!"
Buzz—
As his words fell, the black and white energies around Dharma Master Hong Jue surged violently, transforming into a rainbow of light piercing through the void barrier above the Panwu Hall, disappearing instantly into the chaotic cloud sea.
Leaving behind only a faint trace of final Dao Rhyme slowly assimilated by the laws within the hall.
...
Chen Sheng sat alone in the hall, waving his hand, countless ancient books turned into streams of light and gathered around, suspended in the void around him.
These were all ancient secret scrolls treasured in the Immortal Mansion, with many containing scattered information and exploration anecdotes about the source sea.
His consciousness swept through, quickly flipping through the pages of the books.
"What Fellow Daoist Hong Jue said is quite similar. The source sea is indeed a place where danger and opportunities coexist."
"But I still have to go, as long as I act cautiously, the risks are very low."
Chen Sheng thought silently to himself, gently tapping a finger, and a scroll labeled "Chronicles of the Source Sea" slowly unfolded:
"If I am to explore the source sea, my true body must not act rashly."
He understood well the principle of Integration Cultivators’ downfall:
"The complete demise of an Integration Cultivator almost always hinges on the true body being severed and the Dharma Seed being annihilated."
"At that time, even if other avatars are far across countless star rivers, it would be easy to have their true spirit locked on and traced back to the source, each being slain."
"Conversely, if the true body is proper and the Dharma Seed secure, trying to trace the true body by slaying avatars is extremely difficult, almost impossible for cultivators of the same rank."
Chen Sheng closed his eyes in deep thought, his mind conjuring the phantoms of avatars:
"Among all my avatars, Hong Sheng is the strongest, overseeing the transformation of the Panwu World, related to the foundation of my cultivation and the core of my Dao path, he must not be lightly moved."
"The rest of the avatars are similar, their strength somewhat lacking, not enough to cope with the perils of the source sea."
"In the time that follows, I need to quickly cultivate a few primary battle avatars to venture the source sea on my behalf."
He opened his eyes, a gleam flashing within:
"Primary battle avatars mostly rely on magical treasures, divine techniques, and Daoist bodies."
"Either equip them with formidable magical treasures, or have them cultivate divine techniques or Daoist bodies, greatly enhancing their combat power to counter the dangers of the source sea."
Boom—
Within his mind, brilliant colors flowed, Dao Rhymes roared, and countless secret manuals unfolded with a crash.
"Duality Transformation Dao Scripture," "Purple Mansion Celestial Array Records"...
Chen Sheng’s divine thought traversed among them, repeatedly deducing and weighing, having his own plan in mind:
"The source sea is unpredictable, and avatar demise is commonplace. The cheapest way must be used to arm the avatars."
"Even if they fall, it won’t be distressing to lose them, and they can be quickly replenished."
He eliminated the cultivation techniques one by one, his expression growing more resolute:
"The Duality of Yin and Yang Micro-Dust Treasure Body suits me best."
"This treasure body evolves the duality’s secret patterns through Array Dao, gradually tempering into a body, with a total of three realms."
"With my current foundation in Array Dao, I can barely achieve the first realm, and it almost requires no rare treasures to complete."
Chen Sheng carefully contemplated:
"Compared to those great divine techniques and supreme Daoist bodies, although slightly weaker in combat power, the cost is low, easy to reconstruct, perfectly matching the needs of exploring the source sea."
With the decision made, Chen Sheng did not hesitate any longer. His figure flashed, appearing at the source of the Panwu World’s origin.
Hong Sheng sat cross-legged above the nine heavens, white robe fluttering without wind, eyes opened, transforming all creation.
Chen Sheng cupped his hands: "Fellow Daoist, assist me!"
Hong Sheng nodded: "As you wish!"
With that, he raised his hand, sending down a secret seal of the array, triggering the world origin of the Panwu World.
Buzz—
Across the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands, the pattern of mountains and rivers lit up with the origin, forming the veins of the grand array of heaven and earth.
Outside the realm, the chaotic void currents surged madly, converging from all directions, being refined into the purest Spiritual Qi.
In just a few breaths, using the world as the foundation, a vast duality array gradually took shape.
Between Chen Sheng’s brows, a droplet of crimson essence blood, like a blood jade, slowly emerged.
"Go!"
Boom!
The essence blood instantly fell to the center of the array, condensing into a semi-transparent embryo.
Chen Sheng formed a spell with his hands, murmuring:
"With heaven and earth as the furnace, micro-dust as the material, array patterns as the bones, duality as the rhyme, forge my treasure body, refine my avatar!"
Boom—
At the instant the incantation was spoken, the duality array exploded with boundless divine light, soaring into the nine heavens.
Black and white energies were like a reversed galaxy, violently churning within the array.
Hong Sheng quickly mobilized the power of heaven and earth to cooperate, resonating with the laws of heaven and earth, countless micro-dust light spots emerged from the void rift.
These are the primordial micro-dust atoms that existed since the opening of heaven and earth, pure beyond compare, carrying the mysterious aura of transforming creation.
The micro-dust light points surged into the array, being dismantled and reshaped by the power of duality, transforming into golden streams that flowed towards the central embryo.
The embryo trembled violently, and fine patterns began to surface on its surface, which were precisely the duality secret patterns deduced by Hong Sheng with his foundation in Array Dao.
Every line of the pattern glowed like a living being, weaving into an intricate network of array patterns.
"Ah~" Chen Sheng exhaled slowly: "The embryo is initially formed, up next, I’ll trouble you, fellow Daoist."
Hong Sheng nodded: "As it should be. In a thousand years, this avatar should reach Great Success."
