Chapter 470: Celestial-Origin Power, Power of the Earth Source

With that, Grand Elder Wang Guyuan turned to look around. "Heh heh, it seems the Pengze Immortal Island of today is developing quite well!"

After gazing at Pengze Immortal Island for a moment, Grand Elder Wang Guyuan spoke again slowly. "Heh heh... Daoxing, as your master, I suppose it’s time I fulfilled my duty."

Then, Grand Elder Wang Guyuan carefully looked Shen Daoxing up and down. "Daoxing, you have now broken through to the Earth Profound Realm and possess your own Golden Body Dharma Aspect. But do you know how it comes to be?"

Shen Daoxing hesitated for a moment before saying, "A Golden Body Dharma Aspect is forged by communicating with heaven and earth, sensing supreme existences, and borrowing their power."

Hearing this, Grand Elder Wang Guyuan silently shook his head. "No. That is merely a superficial understanding. A Golden Body Dharma Aspect is ultimately one’s own power. Its true essence is the fusion of Celestial-Origin Power and the Power of the Earth Source."

"Celestial-Origin Power and the Power of the Earth Source?"

Shen Daoxing was perplexed.

"That’s right."

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan nodded with a faint smile, but then suddenly asked another question. "Daoxing, do you know how many different types of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi there are?"

"There are different types of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi?"

Shen Daoxing froze.

"Of course!"

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan nodded.

"On our Divine Land Continent, the world is vast and the universe is boundless. Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is everywhere. It might seem to be a single, formless type, but it is actually divided between heaven and earth. One type comes from our world itself—we call this Earth Source Primordial Qi. An example would be our Yun Meng Lake, condensed from the very earth. The other type comes from the vast cosmos high above the heavens, such as the power left behind in our world by those supreme existences.

"When we Practitioners refine this Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, it transforms into Earth Source Spiritual Power and Celestial Origin Spiritual Power. Our Golden Body Dharma Aspects are forged with Celestial Origin as the soul and Earth Source as the body. However, to forge a true Supreme Golden Body, one must perfectly fuse Celestial-Origin Power and the Power of the Earth Source."

"A true Supreme Golden Body?"

Shen Daoxing hesitated.

"That’s right!"

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan nodded and continued:

"The supreme existences in the universe that each person can sense are different, so the Golden Body Dharma Aspects they forge are also different. Based on a Dharma Aspect’s strength, they can be categorized as Earth Immortal Dharma Aspects, True Immortal Dharma Aspects, Celestial Immortal Dharma Aspects, Heavenly Dao Dharma Aspects, and Divine Monarch Dharma Aspects! For instance, the one Jun Wushuang displayed previously was a Heavenly Dao Dharma Aspect, and what Muyun revealed was a Celestial Immortal Dharma Aspect."

"However, neither Jun Wushuang nor Muyun has unleashed the true power of their Heavenly Dao and Celestial Immortal Dharma Aspects. It could be that neither has forged their true Supreme Golden Body, failing to perfectly fuse their Earth Source Spiritual Power and Celestial Origin Spiritual Power."

’Heavenly Dao Dharma Aspect! Divine Monarch Dharma Aspect!’

Shen Daoxing was taken aback, his curiosity piqued. ’I wonder how my Venerable Dharma Aspect compares to theirs.’

As if sensing Shen Daoxing’s unspoken question, the Blood Dragon’s voice echoed disdainfully in his mind. ’What Heavenly Dao? What Divine Monarch? They aren’t fit to carry the Venerable Supreme’s shoes!’

Hearing Elder Blood Dragon’s words, Shen Daoxing was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but chuckle.

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan paused before continuing, "And after entering the Earth Profound Realm, you can no longer just blindly absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and cultivate recklessly. You must control the balance between the Celestial Origin Spiritual Power and Earth Source Spiritual Power in your body, fusing them together perfectly. Only then can your cultivation level continue to improve steadily."

Hearing this, Shen Daoxing instantly understood. ’No wonder my cultivation seemed to hit a bottleneck, with my progress slowing to a crawl. The two types of Spiritual Power in my body must have become imbalanced.’

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan fell silent for a moment, then looked at Shen Daoxing gravely. "Daoxing, remember this. After entering the Earth Profound Realm, you must never cultivate recklessly. If you do, the Celestial Origin Spiritual Power and Earth Source Spiritual Power will become severely imbalanced, and a single careless moment could cause you to suffer cultivation deviation."

Shen Daoxing was startled. He quickly clasped his hands and bowed respectfully to Grand Elder Wang Guyuan. "Thank you for the warning, Master!"

Shen Daoxing couldn’t help but turn his senses inward, focusing on his Dantian. Inside, his Seven-Colored Profound Platform floated in the very center, spinning slowly and shimmering with an iridescent light.

Below the Profound Platform was a vast land condensed from Spiritual Power. ’This must be the Earth Source Spiritual Power,’ he realized, ’while the Seven-Colored Profound Platform is the Celestial Origin Spiritual Power.’

Right now, the land below was far larger than the Seven-Colored Profound Platform. It was lush and verdant, shining with a dazzling light that completely overshadowed the platform above. Clearly, they were on the verge of imbalance.

This was because the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within Yun Meng Lake was all of the Earth Source type.

He urgently needed Celestial-Origin Primordial Qi to restore his balance.

’But most of the Primordial Qi on Pengze Immortal Island is of the Earth Source type. Where am I supposed to find Celestial-Origin Primordial Qi?’

As if sensing Shen Daoxing’s predicament, Grand Elder Wang Guyuan smiled faintly and spoke at just the right moment. "What you seek is far away, yet right before your eyes."

As he spoke, he extended a sleeved arm and waved it gently. The clouds below slowly parted, revealing Pengze Immortal Mountain.

Shen Daoxing lowered his gaze and suddenly saw it: the Ancient Stone Stele, sitting in an inconspicuous corner on the peak of Pengze Immortal Mountain.

At that moment, Gu Muyun was standing silently not far from the Stone Stele.

Grand Elder Wang Guyuan paused, then spoke again:

"This Ancient Stone Stele, it is said, was here long before the Cyan Nether Sword Sect was even founded. No one knows where it came from or when it appeared. We only know that it came from the heavens, moved here by the Great Sword Immortal using his supreme Divine Techniques. It contains a mysterious celestial power. Since this mysterious power comes from the heavens, it naturally belongs to the category of Celestial-Origin Power. It must be suffused with Celestial-Origin Primordial Qi."

Shen Daoxing nodded in understanding.

Then, with a single leap, he shot downwards, landing on the peak of Pengze Immortal Mountain before the Ancient Stone Stele.

The moment he landed, Shen Daoxing sensed a familiar, mysterious power emanating from the seemingly ordinary Ancient Stone Stele—a power that felt remarkably similar to the Venerable Power within his own body.

Though Shen Daoxing had done nothing, the Seven-Colored Profound Platform inside him began to spin on its own, letting out a soft WHIRRING sound. It was as if it were singing with joy, unable to contain its eagerness.

’It seems this place really does hold the power I need.’

He looked at the Ancient Stone Stele again. Its plain, grayish-white surface was covered in twisting, tadpole-like script. A single glance was enough to feel a profound and mysterious aura rush toward him.

Shen Daoxing was utterly captivated. However, the characters were shrouded in a faint, layered mist, making them impossible to see clearly. He needed to get closer.

Shen Daoxing immediately stepped forward.

But as soon as he took that single step, he felt the world grow still and heavy. All sound vanished, and his body suddenly felt weighed down by an immense pressure.

Shen Daoxing froze. Looking down at his hands, he was stunned to find that he couldn’t sense even a single shred of power within his body.
