Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 285: Immortal Dao's Precious Purple, Ascending Fate

Zheng Lao's exceptional learning and leadership abilities allowed him to fully teach Zhong Cang, hoping to earn the title of a master of saints in the future.

Naturally, Zhong Cang didn't mind this at all. After all, his teachings were a good thing for Zhong Cang.

Under the guidance of a grandmaster in formations and Zhong Cang's rapid learning, his proficiency in formations skyrocketed.

In just three months, his proficiency in formations had already surpassed half.

Formations involve the interplay of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, astronomy, geography, and even the universe and stars. There are too many things associated with formations, making the upper limit of proficiency far surpass that of ordinary cultivation techniques.

Otherwise, Zhong Cang would have already advanced to become a grandmaster in formations within these three months.

Even now, in just three to five days at most, Zhong Cang could advance.

As for only reaching half of the proficiency limit, how to advance naturally relied on the Great Vow Technique.

"To enlighten cultivators with the Heavenly Heart, giving hope to thousands who cannot advance. I have also accumulated a great amount of merit."

"By consuming them, it will allow the formation to reach perfection, and then with the help of Heaven Rewards Diligence, I can break through in one fell swoop."

"I wonder what kind of special characteristics my advancement will gain in three days."

Thinking about the advancement of the formation, Zhong Cang was both eager and considering how to guide it.

The enlightenment he experienced during his advancement was not unconscious, but rather could be directly guided by his own consciousness.

Just like when the Five Viscera Divine Palace Diagram advanced, Zhong Cang guided its characteristics towards the aspect of the five-colored divine light.

Although Zhong Cang ultimately failed, there were also successful cases.

The Five Spirit Town Sealing Great Handprint successfully guided the powerful characteristic of covering the sky.

Similarly, the Ignorant Heart Sword Art also guided the Eye of the Hell King, a superpower that can directly bestow death upon enemies.

"No, the appearance of the Eye of the Hell King is not solely due to the Ignorant Heart Sword Art. Strictly speaking, I failed at that time, and the success in the end was due to the mist that blended into my divine soul."

"Therefore, although the transformation from Four Realms Grandmaster to Five Realms Grandmaster is powerful, it is still too difficult to comprehend the transcendent abilities in myths."

With these thoughts in mind, Zhong Cang let go of the idea of comprehending formations such as the Twelve Heavenly Formations, the Celestial Starry Sky Formation, the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, the Taiji Microcosmic Dust Formation, and so on.

Even as a grandmaster in formations, don't even think about comprehending these things.

Not to mention, Zhong Cang is now a proficient formation master and an advanced master of formations.

"Can only comprehend the next level..." Zhong Cang frowned, contemplating which formation to comprehend.

But soon, he realized that he didn't have time to think.

His senior sister, Qing Qiu, found him, and the reason was that after three months of negotiations with the Four Seas Pavilion, the Heavenly Dipper Purple Qi had been exchanged back by the sect.

After drinking a cup of tea offered by Zhong Cang in Shattered Star Lake, Senior Sister Qing Qiu calmly said, "The sect has found three top-notch astral energies for you. One of them is the Cloud Firmament Sect's own Cloud Thunder Qi."

"After integrating this astral energy, your magical power will carry the characteristics of the Cloud Thunder, greatly enhancing the power of your thunder techniques. This energy is also compatible with our sect's supreme technique, the Primordial Origin Limitless Cloud Firmament Diagram. It allows you to condense a divine sovereign with the power of thunder."

"The second one is the Spirit Clear Profound Qi. When combined with the Earth Mother Qi, it can condense the Profound Yellow Qi and possess the power of creation. However, since you have integrated the Qi of the mountains and rivers, not the Earth Mother Qi, I do not recommend you choose this one."

"The third astral energy is the Heavenly Dipper Purple Qi obtained by the sect from the Four Seas Pavilion."

At this point, Senior Sister Qing Qiu took another sip of water before continuing, "Purple is highly valued in the Daoist tradition. Being called Purple Qi, this astral energy is naturally very strong. Its greatest function is to elevate one's destiny!"

Zhong Cang asked, "Elevate?"

"Yes, elevate. By integrating the Purple Qi, your magical power will be tinged with a golden-purple color, and you will also have a golden-purple crown engraved in your divine soul."

"By consuming magical power to activate the golden-purple crown, your cultivation level can be elevated... For example, if you are currently at the mid-stage of Foundation Building, after integrating the Purple Qi, you will be able to advance to the late stage of Foundation Building. At that time, by activating the golden-purple crown, you can temporarily elevate your cultivation level to Gold Core. "

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cang's eyes lit up.

"What if I am already at the Gold Core stage? Can I elevate my destiny to Nascent Soul?"

"Bang!"

Qing Qiu lightly knocked Zhong Cang on the head.

"You're thinking too optimistically."

However, after saying that, she didn't completely dismiss the idea.

"The Immortal Dao values purple. It is not entirely impossible for a Gold Core to elevate to Nascent Soul. However, as you know, our cultivators rely on spiritual energy. Even if destiny is elevated, it still requires a large amount of magical power to achieve. Therefore, it is possible for a Gold Core to elevate to Nascent Soul, but it is absolutely impossible in the early stage of Gold Core. Only when you reach the peak of Gold Core will there be a slight chance. And due to the huge gap between Gold Core and Nascent Soul, even if you exhaust all your magical power, you can only elevate your cultivation level to Nascent Soul for two or three breaths, which is completely useless for combat."

"However, even if you cannot fight, being able to experience the abilities of the first rank for a short period of time is of infinite benefit to a cultivator's cultivation. Therefore, the Purple Qi that can elevate one's cultivation level is also known as the Heavenly Dao Purple Qi, one of the most top-notch astral energies in the world."

Regarding this matter, Zhong Cang cannot deny it.

Cultivation is difficult, and the most difficult part is not being able to see the way forward.

Heavenly Dipper Purple Qi allows Zhong Cang to experience the next realm in advance.

This is like having a bright light in one's hand while others are groping in the dark. Therefore, this kind of aura, even if it cannot enhance combat power, is still a rare treasure.

Not to mention, as long as one's mana is abundant, it can greatly enhance one's combat ability.

"Trouble the sect to find Heavenly Dipper Purple Qi for me, I will assimilate it!"

...

By teaching Heavenly Heart, Zhong Cang earned a large amount of spirit stones, treasures, and merits.

With the support of the sect, the construction speed of Zhong Cang's Dao Field - Floating Sky City, was extremely fast.

Finally, with the help of the sect, Zhong Cang planned for Heavenly Dipper Purple Qi, allowing himself to advance to Foundation Building Late Stage at any time and reach the cultivation of Gold Core, paving a smooth path for himself.

It can be said that after returning to the sect, Zhong Cang is like a dragon returning to the sea, a tiger roaring in the mountains, earning a lot.

While enjoying the wonderful support from the sect, those Independent Cultivators, foreign sects, and disciples from other small families who gathered near Cloud Firmament Sect were also satisfied with the current cultivation environment.

Indeed, under Zhong Cang's planning with the sect, most of the spirit stones and treasures earned by these people were swallowed by Cloud Firmament Sect.

But they also gained something. By spending spirit stones and listening to Heavenly Heart, even if only once, they could still gain a lot of benefits.

Not to mention, they exchanged their spirit stones and treasures for a large number of elixirs and Law Weapons, greatly increasing their cultivation and strength.

Cloud Firmament Sect gained the majority of resources, but also gave Independent Cultivators a small share, both sides having a bright future.

If this continues, it can be considered a good thing.

However, perfection is impossible in the world.

Zhong Cang did not forget one thing, that Cloud Firmament Sect and the Independent Cultivators from the North Abyss Region can enjoy peace because something is bearing the cost for them.

In the mortal realm, there is a continuous supply of resources, allowing Cloud Firmament Sect and many Independent Cultivators to constantly grow, which is why they can remain safe.

However, in Zhong Cang's sixth sense or subconscious, the mortal realm has never been a fertile land without any danger.

And as Zhong Cang expected, after several years of continuous development, the mortal realm unexpectedly encountered accidents.

...

Azure Ash World is the highest-level world currently detected in the Hongxuan Continent.

This world can accommodate cultivators at the early stage of Gold Core.

What drives Foundation Building and Qi Refining cultivators crazy is that the wood elemental aura in this world is extremely abundant, and it is home to a Supreme Grade Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth.

Under the influence of that divine tree, Spirit Medicine in this world grows one year equivalent to ten years in normal conditions.

The special environment allows countless Spirit Medicines of hundreds and thousands of years to exist, and even ten thousand-year spiritual treasures can be seen from time to time.

And that Supreme Grade Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth is being coveted by everyone.

The huge benefits have attracted Dao Sect, Demon Sect, and even the Monster Race, all gathering here and engaging in fierce battles.

Originally, this battle would have lasted a long time until the Spiritual Root of Heaven and Earth was moved, and everything would come to an end.

But in recent days, the battles between Dao Sect, Demon Sect, and the conflict between the Dao, Demon, and Monster races have slowed down... some unusual things have happened.

In Azure Ash World, cultivators inexplicably sprouted.

Yes, you heard it right, they sprouted like plants, or grew branches.

Although there were no deaths in the initial stage of sprouting, their vitality was greatly enhanced, and some even gained strong immortality abilities - no matter how severe their injuries, as long as they rooted themselves in the ground and basked in the sun, they could quickly recover.

Enhanced vitality and pseudo-immortality abilities seem like a good thing.

However, as cultivators, they were not fools. At least the leaders of the various realms, the dozen or so Gold Core cultivators, were not fools.

They sensed the danger brought about by this sudden change.

In order to deal with the hidden crisis, the Dao, Demon, and Monster races all stopped fighting and began to study these tree people.

But before they could figure anything out, another group of people suddenly appeared in Azure Ash World and approached the major sects.

Cloud Firmament Sect was also approached by a group of special cultivators.

And because of Zhong Cang's influence, Cloud Firmament Sect was quite powerful in the mortal realm, which attracted many of these special cultivators.

However, although they took the initiative to approach, their attitude towards Cloud Firmament Sect was not very good.

At this moment, in a room in Cloud Firmament Sect's residence in the mortal realm, a catwoman complained to their elder, "Lord Divine Envoy, why did you come to remind these bastards? They are all robbers."
