Chapter 892: Chapter 101: Seeking Seeds Again [End of This Volume]

When Chu Liang had initially killed the critically wounded Purple Gold Marquis, who was left with only half a body, it had almost cost him his life. Now, facing a Giant Demon at the Seventh Realm Peak seemed not too difficult, even though the Demon-slaying Sword’s blessing played a role, Chu Liang himself felt somewhat sentimental about his own growth.

Although it was a pity to let the White Ghost King escape in order to protect Jiang Guo, upon further thought, if he had allowed the Black Ghost King to self-destruct, although it would have killed both ghosts, there would still have been only one imprint to collect.

By letting the White Ghost King go, if he was killed again in the future, that would be two imprints, and each imprint was a cute Big Head Baby.

Thinking of it this way, he didn’t feel dejected.

The task of cleaning up the battlefield afterwards was left to Lin Bei, who also had some friends at the Regent Residence, to call over and deal with the affairs of Ling Guan Town.

Chu Liang also prepared a generous gift for Ye Yongxing and a pile of food for Jiang Guo.

They had all exerted considerable effort this time, and Chu Liang was always generous with friends, naturally not shortchanging them. Ye Yongxing returned to Tianshu Pavilion to report, and to prevent the White Ghost King from causing havoc in the world, Tianshu Pavilion might still need to conduct some follow-up searches.

As for Chu Yi, he still wore a smile when facing Chu Liang. Only after Chu Liang had made arrangements for everyone did he come forward with a smiling greeting, "Senior Brother," but Chu Liang was somewhat cold towards him.

"I appreciate your help this time," Chu Liang said indifferently, "However, since our paths differ, we should not conspire together. We’d better reduce our contact in the future."

"Senior Brother, it’s not that our paths are necessarily different, but rather our circumstances," Chu Yi said earnestly. "If you were in my position, you might make the same choices as I did."

"Not the same," Chu Liang shook his head, "I would not achieve my own goals by harming innocent people, nor would I condone the existence of followers like those from Mang Mountain. The affairs of Town Star Island’s Hong Zhenyuan, the matters of the Ice Soul Sword Sect... those were all your doing behind the scenes, right?"

When he looked into Chu Yi’s eyes, he did not see him as a child.

"I didn’t teach you long enough for you to understand some principles," Chu Liang said slowly. "Those with crooked minds and cleverness bring upon themselves more disasters."

"Senior Brother, I understand what you’re saying," Chu Yi pondered for a moment before speaking. "But after all, I am not you. I don’t have as many methods as you do. I have goals that I want to achieve, and this is the only way I can do it. I can promise you that I will never harm Shu Mountain, let alone Silver Sword Peak."

"Of course you won’t, not because you have any affection for Shu Mountain, but because you are smart enough not to dare," Chu Liang waved his hand and turned away, adding, "You’re now under the protection of Venerable Wanfa, and you don’t need my teaching anymore. I only advise you this... weigh carefully before you do anything. I can take you out, and I can send you back."

Chu Yi watched Chu Liang’s departing figure, and after a long while, he sighed helplessly.

Turning around, he saw Jiang Guo’s face. The little girl asked curiously, "What took so long? Did he give you something tasty to eat?"

...

Upon returning to the Shu Mountain Sect, the first thing Chu Liang did was to enter the White Pagoda with his Divine Sense.

The imprint of the Black Ghost King in the iron prison was obviously different from ordinary Human-faced Mandrill imprints; it was much larger, darker, and longer.

He believed the reward would be more satisfying as well.

Then came the familiar process. Chu Liang pressed down with a palm, and with a boom, a red light flashed. After a moment, a great mass of white light floated out. Indeed, it formed another Big Head Baby.

Chu Liang caught it in his hand and immediately sensed the familiar information.

[Enlightenment Puppet]: "A puppet used to assist in the cultivation of enlightenment. Simply infuse the Dao Rite Seed into the puppet, and the puppet will begin to comprehend on its own. Once it has fully understood the Daoist Rite, it can provide feedback to the host. The Enlightenment Puppet requires Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to function; if its Spiritual Power is exhausted, enlightenment ceases immediately, and the Daoist Rite will dissipate."

Note: This puppet is only for the purpose of enlightenment. If it engages in other actions, there is a risk of damage."

Just as expected!

Due to his past familiarity with the Big Head Baby, Chu Liang had already known that this puppet must be connected to the great Dao of the Seventh Realm. But he had never expected it to be so direct.

It could help in comprehending the Dao!

What did that imply?

It had always been said that at the Human level, cultivation is important, and others can teach you that; at the Earth Barrier, resources are essential, and others can provide them for you. Only at Heaven’s Gate, which is concerned with the Dao, is something that no one else can give.

It must be realized by oneself!

Even as Baize, the Yin Yang Daoist Master, if he wished to let Chu Liang attempt to comprehend, he could only give him a Dao Rite Seed, a starting point for his enlightenment. For the enlightenment that followed, neither parents nor mentors, nor ancestors could help.

Chu Liang had possessed that seed for several days, yet still had not fully comprehended the Way of Yin and Yang, which sufficiently illustrated its difficulty. Without the right opportunity, the challenge of enlightenment was as arduous as ascending to the Nine Heavens.

But today, there was a Big Head Baby, a puppet that could actually aid in enlightenment!

Such a puppet, only asking for some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure in exchange, was like the dream lover of every cultivator.

Without a second thought, Chu Liang fed it a Spirit Plant, activated the Enlightenment Puppet, and then fed the Yin Yang Seed from Baize into it.

Boom—

The Enlightenment Puppet instantly flickered with white light and joined the hard-working army of puppets. However, compared to the other dolls surrounded by colorful clouds and mist, it was much quieter.

This was understandable, after all, enlightenment relies on contemplation, which is quite different from those who cultivate through physical exertion.

Once it finished its contemplation, Chu Liang would possess the complete Daoist Rite of the Way of Yin and Yang, meaning by that time he would have comprehended the Way of Yin and Yang, and possess the strength to breakthrough the Seventh Realm using it.

The process had just begun, and Chu Liang was already envisioning the scene of himself mastering three thousand great Daos in the future.

Many non-mainstream cultivators, even if they fortunately break through Heaven’s Gate, will comprehend only that one Dao in their lifetime; there are also those who are only perceptive towards one Dao and breakthrough by sheer coincidence, but are essentially dull and unable to comprehend any others—for example, a certain Silver Sword Peak Master.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, an ordinary cultivator at the Seventh Realm may comprehend three to five Daos; the more formidable ones might grasp seven or eight; if they exceed ten, that is considered the capability of a greatly perceptible and powerful individual.

How many Daos Chu Liang will comprehend in the future depends on the number of his Dao Rite Seeds and how many Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures he has.

Given his wealth, the second consideration can be disregarded.

The first Dao Rite Seed, which only a Daoist Master can provide, is the foundational basis for enlightenment. In fact, its significance is not so great; it merely helps the enlightener skip the opportunity from zero to one, and afterward, it offers no further assistance. Therefore, in the Immortal Cultivation World, it is generally not that highly valued.

A moment later, Chu Liang had already been flying straight towards Tontian Peak and Unbounded Palace.

"You’re back?" Master Wen Yuan smiled and asked when he saw Chu Liang hurrying over, "Didn’t you say things in Ling Guan Town went smoothly? Why run to me instead of finding Venerable Azure Dragon?"

"Venerable Azure Dragon can wait, disciple seeks the Sect Master for a rather pressing matter," Chu Liang said.

"Oh?" Master Wen Yuan inquired, "What’s the matter?"

Chu Liang replied, "Requesting seeds!"
