Chapter 594 - 467: True Martial Affiliation
Outside the Pavilion of the Demon Secret Manual, clouds of glowing mist swirled and a thousand auspicious signs appeared.
The Supreme Demon, Lu Jun, held a crimson Jade Scroll in his hand, the Imperial Robes of the Golden Crow around him concealed all sharpness.
The grandeur that used to echo through the starry rivers was completely gone, replaced by deep respect, with even a touch of unease between his brows.
Inside the pavilion, Chen Sheng sat cross-legged in meditation before the Jade Desk, spreading ancient scrolls before him.
His surroundings were full of chaotic streams of energy like thin mist, blending with the fragrance of books and Dao Rhyme in the pavilion, forming a tranquil Daoist field.
The Supreme Demon stood outside the pavilion’s door, bowed deeply:
"Junior Lu Jun, requests to see the elder!"
The term "elder" was spoken without any reluctance, after all, he was facing someone whom his father had described as the incarnation of a mysterious Saint.
"Come in."
Chen Sheng’s voice slowly echoed, like a clear spring dripping onto a stone, not high nor low, yet dispelling much of the unease in the Supreme Demon’s heart.
Lu Jun pushed the door open and entered, his gaze landing on the meditating Chen Sheng, only to sense a misty chaos enveloping the other, seemingly near yet infinitely distant, difficult to perceive his true essence.
He sighed in his heart—no wonder he’s an Outer Domain Saint!
He quickly approached, holding the crimson Jade Scroll with both hands, bowing again, lifting it above his head:
"Elder, earlier, due to junior’s ignorance, I dared to pry, which was truly disrespectful."
"This is the ’Thirty-Three Volumes of the Great Sun’ technique passed down by my father, specifically commanded to deliver it here as an apology, hoping for the elder’s forgiveness."
Only then did Chen Sheng slowly raise his eyes, his gaze landing on the crimson Jade Scroll, where the runes of the Golden Crow flowed, faintly leaking the scorching origin aura of the Great Sun.
Upon hearing this, with not a ripple between his brows, he merely nodded:
"During the observation of the scrolls, there’s indeed a glimpse of prying intent that flitted by, yet such is normal; this apology I shall accept."
With that, he extended his right hand, a mere hinting gesture, and the crimson Jade Scroll freed itself from Lu Jun’s hands, transforming into a streak of crimson light, steadily landing in his palm.
With those words, Lu Jun’s worried heart completely relaxed, exhaling deeply, the fine beads of sweat on his forehead quietly dissipating.
With his heart settled, Lu Jun showed a hint of joy on his face, yet dared not to be presumptuous, cautiously enquiring:
"Previously, respecting the elder as the Great Emperor of the Midmost Vault of Heaven, overseeing the Midmost Demon Realm."
"Should this delay the elder’s travels for Enlightenment, junior shall immediately command its revocation, never daring to use this mundane affair to disturb elder’s peaceful cultivation."
"No problem."
Chen Sheng lightly waved, his voice still calm and unperturbed: "Having agreed, one will not go back on the word, and handling mundane affairs is also Cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Demon rejoiced tremendously in his heart!
Chen Sheng’s words not only agreed to the enthronement but also implied that this Saint-level Great Power, was willing to officially reside within the Demon Race, becoming the pillar of the Thousand Demons Sacred Court!
In this way, the Demon Race, with their own demon ancestor and Chen Sheng, two Saint-level existences, shall undoubtedly gain absolute advantage in the tripartite power structure in the Zhenwu World!
Lu Jun bowed once more, his tone even more respectful:
"Thank you, elder, for fulfilling this!"
"The arrangements for the grand ceremony, junior has already ordered the preparations to be expedited, once all the Emperor Monarchs have gathered, a grand ceremony shall be held for elder. If elder has any other commands, feel free to inform junior anytime."
"No need for such formalities, you may leave now."
"Yes, junior takes his leave!"
The Supreme Demon bowed and withdrew, gently closing the pavilion door, leaving the tranquility of the Pavilion of the Demon Secret Manual to Chen Sheng.
At the moment of stepping out from the pavilion, only then did his aura resume its expansion, the joy on his face now impossible to conceal, as his figure moved, transforming into a streak of golden light, heading toward the core of the Sacred Court, eagerly to arrange the subsequent matters.
...
Inside the pavilion, Chen Sheng’s heart was not as calm as it appeared.
The undying True Spirit detected the prying moment and immediately drew upon the foundation of his previous life, simulating into an Integration incarnation as intimidation.
From the looks of it now, the effect was pretty good.
He murmured inwardly:
"With my strength, during Integration, preserving life might not be difficult, but direct confrontation may inevitably delay Cultivation time."
"The current situation turns out to be the best outcome!"
Thinking so, he moved his fingertips slightly, and the crimson Jade Scroll automatically unfurled, transforming into a screen of red-golden light.
Countless ancient runes flowed within the light screen, and the profound techniques of the "Thirty-Three Volumes of the Great Sun" instantly entered his consciousness.
He carefully browsed through, and as thoughts flowed, he thoroughly comprehended the contents of the first thirty-two volumes.
Indeed, profoundly mysterious!
From blood transformation and enlightenment to the Ninth Layer of gods and demons, and breaking through the shackles of gods and demons to ascend to the realm of the Saint, each step had meticulous deduction and insights.
The technique was rigorous and deep, worthy of being the supreme great technique that leads straight to Integration, not inferior to the Five Volumes of the End.
For Chen Sheng, it also held considerable reference value, offering numerous new ideas to perfect the "Pan Wu Celestial Creation Profound Technique."
However, when his Divine Thought touched the final volume, his originally indifferent expression finally slightly changed, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The final volume did not record the Cultivation insights of the Zhenwu World but rather the Great Thousand World cultivation system obtained during the travels of the demon ancestor to the Outer Domain.
Shedding the mortal, Divine Techniques, Primordial Spirit, longevity, Creation, transformation, transcendence, each realm had brief annotations, encompassing vast Dao Rhymes.
"So, this is how it is..."
The surprise in Chen Sheng’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by an expression of understanding: "This Zhenwu World is indeed a Small Thousand World belonging to the Taiyi Realm!"
Carefully pondering for a moment, he felt this matter to be reasonable.
The Taiyi Realm is the nearest Grand Thousand World to the Spirit Realm, vast in territory, with its Great Dao well-rounded, giving rise to countless Medium Thousand and Small Thousand Worlds.
In his past life, having finally briefly escaped the confines, his blood scattered in the Great Void, if he were to leave the Spirit Realm’s range and revolve into this place, it would indeed be normal.
Simultaneously, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:
"The creation of a Cultivation system is but a process of Dao seed transformation!"
"Considering this, the Daoist Monarch who pioneered the Zhenwu World, compared to the Tribulation Crossing Daoist Monarch who forged the Xinxiang Realm, his realm is indeed more advanced!"
The Xinxiang Realm’s Cultivation system still does not escape the scope of the Spirit Realm, clearly showing many vestiges.
Whereas, the Zhenwu World’s Cultivation system, from blood transformation and enlightenment to the Ninth Layer of gods and demons, has practically leaped out of the Taiyi Realm’s Cultivation framework, blazing a unique path, establishing its own style.
If not for learning the truth from the demon ancestor, Chen Sheng hadn’t realized this was the Taiyi Realm!
"Indeed, as a Medium Thousand World, Xinxiang Realm Integration is arduous, while the Zhenwu World can accommodate several Integration-level existences, its world foundation depth may be nearing the Mahayana Treasure Realm."
"To see part of a whole and know it, expressing the creator of this world’s Daoist Monarch’s realm is profoundly amazing."
Chen Sheng nodded, collected his Divine Thought, and slowly closed his eyes, chaotic energy streams around him once again, integrating the insights from the "Thirty-Three Volumes of the Great Sun and True Wu" into his own cultivation path.
The Pavilion of the Demon Secret Manual returned to tranquility, only a faint Dao Rhyme seeped quietly into the air.
