Chapter 2522
"Since Master values you so much and places such high hopes on you, I think it's alright to inform you of this matter in advance." As Senior Sister Jiuyue's voice transmission fell, several senior brothers and sisters on the deck, including August, July, and June, were all shocked and looked at Chen Xuan with expressions of astonishment.
They never expected that their master, who had appeared in Wujiang City and met Chen Xuan only through a summons, had already secretly intervened and disrupted Chen Xuan's future path of exploration. This level of attention was unprecedented!
Senior Sister Jiuyue is the sect's senior sister, skilled in deducing the eternal Dao. She is calm and composed, and never speaks recklessly. Naturally, none of her fellow disciples doubt her words.
In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Chen Xuan changed.
There was envy, awe, and a touch of curiosity.
As disciples, their master always had a gentle temperament and treated his old disciples, with whom he had spent hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, with just ordinary manners.
Only the eldest sister, Jiuyue, had received more guidance and favor from their master.
Now, this newly joined junior brother Chen Xuan is clearly going to become another "precious treasure" of his master.
Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback when he heard Senior Sister Jiu Yue's telepathic message, and he secretly understood.
Others may not know the reason, but he himself knows it all too well.
It seems that whether he was in Longxia City in his previous life or was moved to this vast universe in this life, no one has ever been able to glimpse his future trajectory through his causal threads. This may be related to his past life and even his special physique.
Since Senior Sister Jiuyue had already taken the initiative to cover for him, and it was speculated that this was done by their master to protect him, he naturally wouldn't expose her. Instead, he took the opportunity to put on an expression of awe and gratitude, bowing respectfully to Senior Sister Jiuyue in a humble tone:
"Thank you for your protection, Master, and thank you for informing me, Senior Sister. I am deeply grateful."
Seeing Chen Xuan's reaction, everyone nodded in agreement, their doubts gradually dissipating, and they became more certain that their master indeed valued Chen Xuan highly.
Then, Senior Sister Jiuyue spoke slowly, no longer using telepathy, her voice clearly carrying throughout the entire deck. Her gaze fell on Chen Xuan and Lu Xueqi, her tone gentle yet solemn:
"As you all know, in the path of cultivation, the tribulation is the first and most fundamental hurdle of life and death. If you can overcome it, you can ascend to the realm of celestial immortals and embark on the true path of cultivation; if you cannot overcome it, your soul will be scattered and your body will perish."
She gently shook her head, then changed the subject, her tone becoming more explanatory:
"But in reality, within the first and second Imperial Pass defense lines, and even in the Purple Mansion Worlds and universes opened up by some eternal great beings, there are many special beings who have gathered the opportunities of heaven and earth. As soon as they are born, they possess the cultivation of Heavenly God and True God, and they have embarked on the path of high-level cultivation without needing to undergo tribulation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan already knew the hidden meaning, but his expression remained relatively calm.
Lu Xueqi, standing to the side, was utterly shocked and couldn't help but gasp in surprise:
"Born as a Celestial God or True God? How is that possible?" In her understanding, even the most outstanding geniuses were only born with an innate Dao body and needed to undergo countless years of cultivation and tribulations to reach the Celestial God realm.
"Nothing is impossible," Senior Sister September said with a faint smile, continuing her explanation.
"However, the way of Heaven is fair and will not favor any side. For beings who are born with high-level cultivation, achieving eternal unity with the Dao is their greatest obstacle and the most difficult chasm to overcome."
Senior Sister Jiuyue explained, "Of course, because they are strong from birth, their combat power in the early stages is indeed far superior to that of cultivators of the same level. However, their Dao heart is far inferior to that of you geniuses who have fought your way up from humble beginnings."
She paused, her gaze landing precisely on Chen Xuan, her tone carrying a hint of certainty: "As expected, Junior Brother Chen Xuan, you should have cultivated a second primordial spirit, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled faintly, waved his hand, and a faint mustard seed ripple emanated from his body. With a flash of shimmering white spiritual light, a figure in white robes and black hair quietly appeared before everyone.
The figure, apart from being dressed in white and having long, jet-black hair, had the same appearance, aura, and spirit as Chen Xuan himself; it was his second primordial spirit.
The second primordial spirit bowed respectfully to Senior Sister Jiuyue and the other senior brothers and sisters, speaking in a humble tone: "Greetings, Senior Sister Jiuyue, greetings to all senior brothers and sisters."
After completing the ritual, his primordial spirit moved, transforming into a wisp of spiritual light, and once again disappeared into the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion within Chen Xuan's body, leaving only a faint Daoist aura lingering on the deck.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was filled with astonishment and deeply moved.
Chen Xuan's second primordial spirit, though restrained in its aura, possessed a profound foundation and was actually at the Heavenly God Realm level, no less than that of his original self. Such attainments in his second primordial spirit were of great interest even to Dao Lords and Immortal Kings like them.
"Speaking of Celestial Immortals and Celestial Gods, I'm sure you all know that if one cannot continue cultivating and break through to the True Immortal realm, then even the most talented cultivator at that level can only survive for a few Nebula Eras." Senior Sister Jiuyue's gaze swept over the group of juniors again, her tone gentle yet carrying a hint of warning.
"In the end, they will still be eroded by time, grow old and die, and turn into a handful of yellow earth."
She shook her head gently, her tone tinged with a hint of regret:
"I have created nine hundred incarnations and traveled the world for millions of years. To this day, I have never seen any Heavenly Immortal or God who has transcended the tribulation die from exhausting their lifespan. Most of them died in endless life-and-death battles and perilous secret realms. Very few of them were able to die peacefully in their old age."
Several senior brothers and sisters, including June and July, nodded in agreement upon hearing this, their expressions filled with emotion.
Along their journey, they witnessed too many exceptionally talented individuals die in vendettas and peril, ultimately failing to reach the end.
“Speaking of achieving eternal Dao and attaining the position of Immortal Emperor or Supreme Being, we must mention a secret realm—the Realm of No Return.” As she spoke, Senior Sister Jiuyue gently waved her jade hand, and a rich eternal Dao charm swirled around her fingertips. Strands of shimmering white and seven-colored spiritual light slowly outlined and converged in front of her, eventually transforming into a strange and illusory flower.
The flower shimmered with nine colors, its petals layered upon each other, each petal engraved with intricate eternal runes, radiating a faint aura of life and the pressure of the Great Dao.
It slowly rises and falls in the void, blooming and decaying time and time again. When it blooms, it emits countless rays of light, as if carrying the hopes of countless living beings to achieve enlightenment.
In its decline, the faint light dimmed, seemingly foreshadowing the endless dangers and death within the secret realm of no return.
"This flower is a product of the No Return Secret Realm, and it is a treasure that drives countless cultivators on the verge of Dao Integration, as well as cultivators of the Strange Clan, crazy."
