In the sky above Wanhua Immortal City, purple sword light pierced the heavens like thunderous roars, yet it carried a refined grace of clouds flowing and stallions in flight.
Chen Mobai floated above, channeling the Purple Brilliance Sword Intent he had mastered, using his divine sense to control the sword, executing the sword techniques from the Zi Hua Sword Manual. The momentum of the Purple Electric Sword continued to surge. In no time, the sky turned into a realm of purple thunder, filled entirely with the terrifying and boundless destruction of rank-5 sword qi.
The Thousand Swords Dharma Body appeared behind Chen Mobai at an unknown time, with the purple thunder sword domain centering around it and beginning to operate with traces of ’Destruction of the Dao’.
Over the years, thanks to the endless Five Elements Essence provided by the cultivators under the Five Elements Sect, Chen Mobai had long perfected the ’Heavenly Star’ realm of the Thousand Swords Dharma Body. He was only short of refining enough Nine Heavens Pure Qi to step into the ’Heavenly Garment’ realm of rank-5.
For cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, this step is actually slightly easier compared to the Heavenly Star realm.
Because the Nine Heavens Pure Qi ripples within the Tian Gang, and as long as one’s cultivation level is sufficient, they can ascend to refine it. However, the closer to the ground, the rarer the pure qi becomes, so for Nascent Soul cultivators, encountering it requires significant luck.
Similarly, the higher one rises, especially within the Tian Gang, the closer to the heights touched by the Heavenly Tribulation, the more likely they are to encounter the Nine Heavens Pure Qi.
Where it intersects with the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation, it’s most abundant, but a misstep could turn one to ashes under the power of the strong Heavenly Tribulation.
According to the Tianhe Realm’s explanation, the so-called Nine Heavens Pure Qi is actually the Immortal Spirit Qi from the Spiritual Void Immortal Realm, which falls to the mortal realm and scatters as Pure Spirit Qi after undergoing the baptism of the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation, covering the entire Tianhe Realm.
Thus, more Pure Spirit Immortal Qi exists within the Heavenly Tribulation.
After perfecting the Heavenly Star realm, Chen Mobai once attempted to ascend into the sky, and relying on the fortuitous Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun map, he found a cluster of it. After condensing it, he felt the Thousand Swords Dharma Body indeed advance, and he longed for more.
Yet he never encountered it again, and as he ventured higher into the Tian Gang, he indeed detected several clusters of Pure Spirit Immortal Qi, but prudence took over when he sensed the fierce aura of the Heavenly Tribulation above, and he halted his steps, avoiding further risk.
Given his current realm, the first level of the Ninth Level Heavenly Tribulation could reduce him to mere ash.
By chance, if his luck failed him while capturing and condensing the Pure Spirit Immortal Qi, he could easily perish if a Heavenly Tribulation struck.
So, he decided to wait until he transformed into divinity, or directly refine the Heaven and Earth Placenta for a one-step advancement.
After refining a cluster of Pure Spirit Immortal Qi into the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, although it remained at the Fourth Rank Peak level, it had gained a hint of the profound mystery of rank-5.
The Purple Brilliance Sword Intent that Chen Mobai mastered began merging with the Destruction Intent through the Thousand Swords Dharma Body, attempting to reenact Zhang Daoshun’s sword dao.
The supreme sword dao can tread the paths of destruction and killing destiny as two great taos.
Chen Mobai believed that Zhang Daoshun’s Destruction of the Dao was his attempt at traversing these great taos, and if successful, it would be an additional path.
However, his realm was still too low. Although he had mastered the Purple Brilliance Sword Intent thoroughly and even surpassed its creator, Master Qing Shi, trying to fuse it with the Destruction Intent was still beyond his reach.
In the sky, the purple thunder sword domain that had once danced freely and majestically scattered into a brilliant light, transforming into a shower of purple meteors, forming a circle of purple halo centered over Wanhua Immortal City and radiated rapidly outward.
Chen Mobai let out a light sigh, but without discouragement, he swiftly regained control of the slightly unstable Purple Electric Sword.
The power condensing within the sword domain earlier had already made it difficult for him to control.
[Master, I...]
The freshly emerged, self-proclaimed invincible Purple Electric Sword, now appeared somewhat crestfallen and dejected.
Though it didn’t understand what Chen Mobai had been attempting, it instinctively felt it was crucial for its progress.
So after failing to merge with the Destruction Intent, it was a little dispirited.
[I was too hasty, we should have waited until you reached the Fifth Rank Peak to attempt again.]
Seeing the Purple Lightning Sword Spirit looking downtrodden, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but console it.
To bear the great tao within a sword, or even to cultivate void, none in the Immortal Gate had succeeded apart from Bai Guang.
Chen Mobai’s talent in sword dao was like a blank slate, so failure was expected. Seeing the Purple Electric Sword progress seemed overly proud, thus he used this as a tempering lesson.
Letting it know, Fifth Rank Superior Grade is not the end; further realms await beyond.
[Master, rest assured, I will strive even harder to become the first flying sword to ascend to Sixth Rank within the Immortal Gate!]
After hearing Chen Mobai’s words, the Purple Electric Sword felt it must not disappoint its master and began anew in its ambitious pursuit.
[Hmm, I’ll assist you too!]
Chen Mobai said these words naturally, yet his mind wondered if Bai Guang’s Heartless Sword had ascended along with her cultivating void.
Before leaving the Earth Element Star, Bai Guang had utilized resources obtained from the Dragon God Star to elevate her lifebound flying sword to the Fifth Rank Peak.
If it ascended, it would undoubtedly be the Immortal Gate’s foremost sword.
In the end, choice determines height.
