Chapter 902: Chapter 885 Divine Platform Inquiry of the Dao - Directly Pointing to One’s True Heart!

[No updates today!]

Five pale purple and gold color Qing Yun hovered above Xiao Chen’s head, accompanied by the blood dragons derived from the Qi-blood Wolf Smoke, all of which displayed the formidable state of Xiao Chen’s physical body.

The God King Stage was the place where the first God King had entered closed-door cultivation, exceptional and extraordinary. If that were not the case, how could it have been split into five pieces and placed within the Divine Marquis Palaces in five locations of the Human Realm as a gift for newly promoted Divine Marquises?

The God King Stage was not only capable of testing a warrior’s talents but also their innate gifts, aiding warriors in the comprehension of Mysteries. It also bore another name, the Wuxin Platform, which helped warriors understand their true hearts and find their own true paths.

"It’s a pity this youngster started too low, with bloodline too poor, facing congenital limitations and restrictions. However, if he can truly comprehend his heart on the God King Stage and find his own Great Dao, he may one day be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with true royal descendants of the original generation, or even soar to the heavens, leaping through the Dragon’s Gate."

The Azure Blood Elder’s voice rang out again, his eyes slightly narrowed. He had lived for far too long, so long that some memories had faded away. Over the long years, he had seen too many descendants of kings with the blood of the first generation.

He had even seen descendants of the Human Emperor, those direct descendants of the original kings and royal lineages, truly favored children of Heaven and Earth, inheriting the great fortunes of their ancestors, born with gifts that shook all Heavens and Myriads of Realms, their future achievements immeasurable.

"Old Azure, both you and I started from insignificance, walked through bloodshed to reach where we are today. Even the imperial aristocratic families, the original Human Emperors, weren’t they also insignificant at the beginning, establishing their dominance over the Human World with ordinary bodies? The noble blood flowing in their veins is just a foundation; even if born as a royal descendant, throughout history, how many have reached the heights of their ancestors?"

"Following the Great Dao left behind by our predecessors and carving out our own Dao is the true essence of our hearts."

The Azure Blood Elder, however, showed a touch of different expression upon hearing the shadow’s words, shaking his head, not entirely agreeing with the shadow’s words.

After all, those who started from insignificance and shook the heavens were far too few. Compared to those warriors with the blood of kings, it was much easier for them to be ranked among the honored ones, among legends, and even the chance of ascending to the Supreme King Realm was far greater than that of ordinary warriors.

Hum!

Just as the Azure Blood Elder and the shadow were voicing their thoughts, Xiao Chen, sitting atop the God King Stage, underwent another transformation of his extraordinary phenomena.

Above the original five purple and gold color Qing Yun, there were purple and gold color lotuses emerging one by one, slowly rotating.

Qi-Luck Golden Lotus!

This was something derived from the warrior’s own being by the God King Stage, representing the warrior’s talents and bloodline. However, Xiao Chen’s bloodline was too low, utterly ordinary—if it weren’t for his cultivation in the War Body, taking the ancient path of physical strength, he possibly couldn’t even have condensed the five purple and gold lotuses.

The Azure Blood Elder’s gaze became slightly focused, as Xiao Chen’s disadvantage in bloodline became more pronounced now.

Some descendants of kings, upon their first ascent to the God King Stage, could gather seven or eight Qi-Luck Golden Lotuses solely based on their bloodlines, and with their talents, it was quite easy to perfect nine Qi-Luck Golden Lotuses, and even more profound phenomena could occur.

Hum! Hum! Hum!

However, the phenomena on Xiao Chen did not end, as his entire body, from inside out, was enveloped and pierced by this unique Qi, as if dissecting his entire body to assess his potential.

Boom!

Within the Soul Sea, vast like the ocean tide, strands of Heavenly and Earth’s Ling Guang emerged, illuminating the Soul Sea, the Ling Guang bright like the dawn’s rosy clouds, dazzling with myriad colors.

Without any warning, within Xiao Chen’s Soul Sea, the divine brilliance flourished instantaneously, with the Mysteries of the Great Dao manifesting at this moment.

The killing Mystery as dark as ink, the flame Mystery red as fire, the Destruction Mystery of Purple Lightning Silver Light, the profound Mystery of yellow earth, the swift Mystery of green Color illusion of the wind, the sharp Mystery of the golden edge, the vibrant Mystery of the blue-green wood, and the utmost softness of the light blue crystal water.

All of these Mysteries erupted in this moment—apart from those of slaughter, fire, and destruction, the rest were not fully comprehended but hurriedly understood by Xiao Chen for the sake of ascending to the Battle Qi Realm.

In the midst of it all, the trajectories of those Mysteries became strands of colored light interweaving within the Soul Sea, Xiao Chen could sense these Mysteries converging clearly.

Hum!

At this moment, Xiao Chen’s consciousness became clear, and on him, a purple and gold color phantom floated and emerged, gradually solidifying, rising, and transforming into the sixth purple and gold color Qing Yun, spawning a purple and gold color Qi-Luck Golden Lotus in the blink of an eye.

Hum!

Following that, the seventh purple and gold color Qing Yun was derived, and above Xiao Chen’s head were now seven Qi-Luck Golden Lotuses.

Similarly, within Xiao Chen’s Circulating Heaven Qi Sea, the storm surged, with green Color Combat Qi roaring in the Qi Sea. The Circulating Heaven Qi Sea was the source of power for Combat Qi.

The Qi Sea gives birth to Combat Qi, the Towering Realm shakes the Qi Sea.

Inside Xiao Chen’s body, the green Qi Sea was vast and boundless, with green Qi waves slamming against his Martial Arts Towering Realm.

The nine-layered White Jade Tower, also known as the Heavenly Ladder, was now on top of Xiao Chen’s Martial Arts Towering Realm, not only radiating a clear luminescence but also displaying various disappearing colors of profound mysteries.

As a warrior ascends to the Towering Realm, each layer of the heavens will be branded with a Martial Arts Divine Power on top of their Martial Arts Tower. Naturally, Xiao Chen was the same, and even now, at the Stage Eight Realm, apart from the ninth layer of his Martial Arts Tower, which remained dark and lightless, the remaining eight layers were already filled with radiant and colorful lights.

Purple Lightning Silver Light — that was the Towering Realm layer branded with the mystery of lightning; red flames swelled like tides, marking the Towering Realm layer with the mystery of flames; pitch black as ink, even staining the surroundings black, was the Towering Realm layer of the killing mystery.

Beyond these three complete mysteries, Xiao Chen had also comprehended mysteries of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind. Of course, he had not fully grasped the entire system but had chosen to comprehend one mystery from a major Dao, and he had barely started, not even achieving completion.

All were hastily imprinted embryonic mysteries for the purpose of advancing to the Battle Qi Realm. In fact, for a long time, Xiao Chen had discovered a problem, that is, in the nine heavens of martial arts, if each realm was to construct a Martial Arts Divine Power.

By the time one reached the nine heavens realm, there would be nine Martial Arts Divine Powers, requiring the comprehension of nine kinds of mysteries.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for a warrior to have enough time to perceive these mysteries and achieve completeness.

Although Xiao Chen, under various chances and fortunes, had comprehended the mysteries of slaughter, destruction, and flames to a state of perfection, beyond these, he had not understood much of the other five mysteries of metal, wood, water, earth, and wind.

And when a warrior steps onto the path to become a king, the final step to ascend as a king is to derive laws from the perfected mysteries and pour them into the spirit, forming an Undying Martial Soul.

To comprehend nine kinds of mysteries, at the time of ascension to a king, one needs to completely derive the laws from the nine kinds of mysteries, that is, one will undergo nine law inductions into the spirit before truly ascending as the Supreme King.

The king’s path, already exceedingly difficult with its five steps, becomes even harder when one undergoes nine inductions of law derivation into the spirit, adding extra difficulty to one’s ascension as a king.

Of course, if one endures the inductions of nine kinds of laws to form an Undying Martial Soul, upon ascending as the Supreme King, such a king’s strength would be much more formidable than those who ascend by deriving a single law.

Buzz!

At this moment, within Xiao Chen’s body, a phantom image of a purple and gold Qing Yun emerged and gave rise to the Qi Fortune Golden Lotus.

Eight Qi Fortune Golden Lotuses!

Each Qi Fortune Golden Lotus was the size of a grinding disc, shimmering and brilliant, intertwined with purple and gold aura, even exuding a faint fragrance that intoxicated anyone who smelled it.

However, it was a pity that apart from the Azure Blood Elder and a shadow, no one else could perceive such a divine spectacle.

"Eight Qi Fortune Golden Lotuses are quite good. To have cultivated eight lotuses with an ordinary bloodline and physique is already quite remarkable," the Azure Blood Elder said softly.

"Unfortunately, the mysteries he has refined are too varied. If he had been born in a great clan, he would understand that comprehending more mysteries is not always better. This is a matter of vision," a voice tinged with regret then came from the Azure Blood Elder’s mouth.

"If he were willing to make the difficult decision and focus on a single mystery exclusively, pursuing it relentlessly, he would still have a chance!"

The descendants of the strong ones have a high starting point, naturally surpassing common people in vision from the beginning, standing much higher inherently, and commencing their cultivation with strong innate talents and a convergence of ample resources, promoting rapid advancement in their cultivation.

This is why the offspring of the strong often comprehend only one kind of mystery or, even if they comprehend many, they choose one as the main and others as auxiliary. That’s the reason.

As for the Divine Powers imprinted in the Martial Arts Tower, one only needs to transform other spirit items from heaven and earth into Divine Powers. That is to say, within the nine layers of the Martial Arts Tower, only one layer is truly utilized.

"Martial Arts are all about tempering the self, and constantly solidifying one’s foundation. It’s not too late, at least his path of cultivating the War Body hasn’t gone astray," commented the shadow beside him, giving no hint of what it felt, but not showing any particular view about Xiao Chen comprehending various mysteries.

Soon the voice subsided, and as he looked at Xiao Chen again, now with eight grinding-disc-sized purple and gold Qi Fortune Golden Lotuses near his body, Xiao Chen’s mind was clear, and his thoughts were lightning-fast. He was acutely aware of the profound mysteries of heaven and earth around him.

Even at this moment, the mysteries of heaven and earth didn’t require his deliberate perception, as they continuously converged into his body.

However, at this moment, Xiao Chen was too preoccupied to comprehend mysteries, for he had encountered the greatest problem on his path of cultivation since he had begun.

The Nine Layer Tower; he had now cultivated to the Stage Eight Realm and had already comprehended eight kinds of mysteries.

Although Xiao Chen, due to his range of perception, was not very clear about some secrets of cultivation, the mysteries he chose to comprehend were not chosen at random.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and slaughter—eight mysteries, apart from lightning and slaughter, the rest were all part of the most fundamental Dao mysteries constituting the entire Desolate Wilds.
