Chapter 194: The Vast, Boundless Pure Spirit Ocean

TL: Sponsored chapter (1/4)

In the Shangqing Sacred Sect’s Mirage Sea Realm…

The deepest recesses of the elderly realm spirit’s mind had already been silent for tens of thousands of years, when he suddenly felt a powerful ripple.

He lifted his ancient gaze, which contained the ancient vicissitudes of time, and stared off into the void in disbelief. “Lord Yu Jing, is that you…?”

An embroidered silk cloth, emitting a dazzling divine light, condensed into being, transitioning from illusory to reality right before his eyes.

He picked up the embroidered silk cloth and felt the familiar aura emanating from it. Tears began to streak down the old man’s face. “Master Yu Jing, it’s been tens of thousands of years since you cultivated to the Divine Sea stage and left for the Heavenly Court. There was never any news of you, and now, you…”

As the old man read the information written on the silk cloth, his expression filled with more and more shock. As he reached the end, his fingers began to tremble and his expression, which seldom saw variation, changed greatly!

Over 40,000 years ago, the Shangqing Sacred Sect’s sole Divine Sea stage being, Heavenly Lord Yu Jing, and the other Divine Sea stage beings of the Human Realm were ordered by the House of the Earth God to congregate at Buzhou Mountain, where they would be assigned with a divine post in the Heavenly Court, never to return to the Human Realm.

In all the years that had gone by, every Divine Sea stage being of the Human Realm had left and never returned. But now, the realm spirit of the Mirage Sea Realm received a silk cloth that was clad in the aura of Heavenly Lord Yu Jing!

Primordial Spirit stage cultivators were referred to as Primordial Lords, while Clone Avatar stage cultivators were referred to as Saint Lords or Greater Lords.

Divine Sea stage cultivators were referred to as Heavenly Lords!

Divine Sea stage Heavenly Lords could split into countless primordial spirits, as numerous as drops of water in the sea—never expiring or perishing. It was the cultivation realm where one was truly considered to have eternal, undying life.

If the information contained in this embroidered silk cloth were to be made known to the outside world, it would cause an uproar across the entire Human Realm!

As it turned out, after Heavenly Lord Yu Jing took up a divine post, he and several other Divine Sea stage beings were brought into the Heavenly Court and given positions as Rank 5 Heavenly Generals. After that, they were completely isolated from the Human Realm, unable to return ever again.

In the past 40,000 years, Heavenly Lord Yu Jing had forged forward boldly and was promoted multiple times, breaking through to the Grandmaster stage. A heavenly decree was sent down, granting him the position of Rank 2 Divine Lord and reign over the House of the Demon God.

A Rank 2 Divine Lord in the Heavenly Court was equivalent to an arhat of the Great Buddhist Sun World. In terms of cultivation, they were both Grandmaster stage existences, inextinguishable even across ten thousand calamities. They could be entrusted with great authority and reign over a portion of the three heavens and nine realms. With a thought, they could overturn heaven and earth, and were truly almighty powerhouses.

Although Divine Lord Yu Jing had achieved the divine rank of House Deity, single-handedly ruling over a Divine House, he still couldn’t let go of the Human Realm’s Shangqing Sacred Sect. He, along with several other almighty powerhouses who had also left the Shangqing Sacred Sect behind, sought out the opportunity and braved the risks of being exposed for breaking the rules of the heavens to send out this embroidered silk cloth.

The Heavenly Court was one of the three realms of Heaven. It was incredibly vast, almost immeasurably so.

In all the years to the current day, only a scant few dozen Divine Sea stage beings had come from the Shangqing Sacred Sect. The people who had cultivated to the Grandmaster stage were even fewer, which was why Divine Lord Yu Jing hadn’t received much help, and could only send down an embroidered silk cloth, and only to the realm spirit of the Mirage Sea Realm at that. It definitely couldn’t be sent to the outside world.

The punishment for breaking a rule of the heavens wasn’t something any living being could bear.

Nevertheless, the old realm spirit thought of something else.

Since Divine Lord Yu Jing had managed to secretly send down this embroidered silk cloth, that meant that the other influences in the Human Realm who had produced almighty powerhouses in the past would have also taken similar actions. But they probably didn’t dare to let this be known to anyone outside their sphere of influence.

The Eastern Territory of the Human Realm was just one part of the realm. There were four other territories, like the Central Territory, the Northern Territory, and so on.

Once every few tens of thousands of years, every single Divine Sea stage being across the entire Human Realm had to go to the summit of Buzhou Mountain to leave for the Heavenly Court. But whenever there were no Divine Sea stage beings in existence across the entire realm, the first influence to produce one would sweep the entire Human Realm and swallow countless sects.

Just a few years prior, the House of the Earth God had sounded the heavenly bell, commanding all Divine Sea stage beings to head to the summit of Buzhou Mountain to receive a divine post. As a result, there wasn’t a single Divine Sea stage existence in the entirety of the Human Realm—not even in the Central Territory, which was the strongest of the 5 regions.

Meanwhile, in the Shangqing Sacred Sect’s Shangqing Spiritual Realm…

The Shangqing Spiritual Realm stood alone outside of the boundaries of the Shangqing Sacred Sect. It was located in the center of the Pure Spirit Ocean. It was a small, fully intact world formed from the treasures of heaven and earth and 60% of the spiritual essence of the Shan Mountain Territory. It was the world where the domains of all of the Clone Avatar stage Saint Lords of the Shangqing Sacred Sect were located.

Above the Pure Spirit Ocean, boundless mirage qi swept over from afar. It transformed into the phantom image of an old man. He stood there silently in the void, looking at the endless array of palaces.

“Mirage Spirit Greater Lord,” a female voice said, containing a hint of surprise. The figure of an extremely beautiful woman in palace dress appeared above the Pure Spirit Ocean, materializing right next to the old man. Seeing him, she came forward and cupped her hands in a bow.

Although Mirage Spirit Greater Lord was the realm spirit of the Mirage Sea Realm, he was a terrifying existence that had already split himself into 7 primordial spirits. Red Nacre Greater Lord had cultivated to the Clone Avatar stage within the last ten thousand years, so she could only be considered someone from the younger generation before one like him.

“It’s been tens of thousands of years. This old man hasn’t come back even once to the Pure Spirit Ocean all this time. But to think it would still be the same as ever,” Mirage Spirit Greater Lord said with an emotional sigh as he gazed out over the vast Pure Spirit Ocean and the Shangqing Spiritual Realm above it.

“If you have left the Mirage Sea Realm to come to the Shangqing Spiritual Realm… could it be because you wish to see the Sect Master?” Red Nacre Greater Lord asked after a short moment’s hesitation.

“The Sect Master right now is Greater Lord Qingxuan?” Mirage Spirit Greater Lord asked, shaking his head with a self-deprecating chuckle. “After Sect Master Yu Jing left, this old man wasted 40,000 years away. Now, I don’t even know who the current Sect Master is.”

Neither the former Heavenly Lord Yu Jing nor the current Sect Master were figures that Red Nacre Greater Lord could speak lightly of, so she simply remained silent in response.

Heavenly Lord Yu Jing was the only Divine Sea stage being to come from the Shangqing Sacred Sect in the last several tens of thousands of years. He subjugated the entire Shan Mountain Territory during his reign, and was the fundamental origin of the Shangqing Sacred Sect’s flourishing prosperity for the last several tens of thousands of years. Even Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords had to be prudent when his name was brought up.

Even though he had already left tens of thousands of years ago, any time anyone brought up Heavenly Lord Yu Jing’s name, no one dared to be even the slightest bit disrespectful.

Only Mirage Spirit Greater Lord was different, since he was the artifact spirit of the Mirage Sea Realm, which was personally refined by Heavenly Lord Yu Jing back in the day. They also had a master and servant bloodline relationship, meaning they couldn’t be any closer.

“Mirage Spirit Greater Lord, please feel free to come into my Domain for a chat,” Greater Lord Qingxuan said, his cool voice echoing out from the Shangqing Spiritual Realm.

One of the walls of the Shangqing Spiritual Realm melted away, merging with the Pure Spirit Ocean in a grand, magnificent fashion.

Just as Mirage Spirit Greater Lord was about to enter the Shangqing Spiritual Realm, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He remembered that Greater Lord Qingxuan was now the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sacred Sect, and he was also a direct descendent of Heavenly Lord Yu Jing, representing the entire sect. He couldn’t afford to be disrespectful.

“Many thanks, Sect Master,” he said finally. Then, he faded into a boundless mass of mirage qi and entered the Shangqing Spiritual Realm.
