Chapter 199: Dao Realm
In every realm they ascend to, cultivators undergo profound transformations, both physically and spiritually.
These profound transformations only occur when cultivators reach the Core Formation Realm, the Nascent Soul Realm, and the Dao Fusion Realm.
The Core Formation is a huge step for any cultivator, as it marks the beginning of their journey towards awakening their soul.
This is the realm where cultivators first cultivate and refine their core, which is the foundation of their cultivation.
As they progress to the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivators undergo an even greater transformation as they form their nascent soul, which contains immense power and potential.
All the laws that the cultivator had accumulated are further consolidated and integrated into their nascent soul, allowing them to tap into higher levels of spiritual energy and comprehend more profound truths of the laws.
It is said that the Nascent Soul Realm is like a cocoon, where cultivators undergo a spiritual metamorphosis, shedding their mortal limitations and embracing their true potential.
It is only when the cultivator enters the Dao Fusion Realm that the nascent soul that holds all the law knowledge and spiritual energy reaches its peak and can transform into a Dao Lotus, a manifestation of their complete understanding and mastery of the Dao.
When the Dao Lotus is formed, the cultivator gains a profound understanding of the Dao and comprehends more profound truths about the Dao.
As for the power that comes with the Dao Lotus, it is unparalleled. The cultivator becomes capable of wielding immense spiritual energy and controlling the natural laws, able to manipulate the elements and bend reality to their will.
And that is what Chen Tian, as everyone in the Immortal Sword Sect, witnessed.
The blue sky turned darker than ever before, crackling with lightning and roaring with thunder.
The wind howled with an intensity that could topple mountains, while the water beneath raged in a tumultuous frenzy, forming towering waves that seemed to defy gravity.
The muscled-headed Elder had lightning bolting throughout his body as his greatsword glowed with an ethereal light.
With a single swing, he cleaved through the air, causing a shockwave that ripped through the sea and sent the towering waves crashing back into the depths.
The force of his strike was so powerful that it seemed to shake the very foundations of the earth.
It was the same element that Chen loved to use, but the power of this elder's strike far surpassed anything Chen Tian could use in his state; it was the true Lightning Dao.
It wasn't only him, as all three elders have also unleashed their understanding of the Dao.
Fire, lighting, wind, and darkness all surrounded the four elders, making them appear as elemental gods.
The sheer intensity of their combined power created a spectacle that left all the Immortal Sword Sect cultivators in reverence and disbelief.
The air crackled with electricity as bolts of lightning danced across the sky, illuminating the battlefield in a dazzling display.
|Roar!!!|
The Yinglong wasn't intimidated by the elders' display of power.
With a mighty roar, it soared through the air, its scales glistening under the blue light.
Its own elemental energy surged, clashing against the elders' might.
The battlefield became a chaotic symphony of clashes.
"Hahah, Fellow Brothers, let's put up a great display for the kids to watch!" An elder said with a mischievous grin.
The other elders chuckled in agreement, their eyes gleaming with excitement.
They knew that this battle would be remembered for generations to come.
||Wooshhhh||
The elders made their moves in perfect synchrony, their movements swift and precise.
Their speed was unmatched as they effortlessly shot toward the Yinglong; not discipline in the Immortal Sword Sect or even Chen Tian could see their movements.
The air crackled with energy as they unleashed a flurry of strikes, their swords dancing through the air like streaks of lightning.
The battle was fierce and intense; each strike could wipe out a mountain with its sheer force.
'If this fight happened on Earth, it would surely leave a trail of destruction in its wake,' thought Chen Tian as he watched the fight.
Earth lacked the spiritual Qi to sustain such powerful battles.
If such a powerful expert fought on the earth, not only a mountain could be destroyed, but a whole city would be reduced to rubble.
The impact alone would shake the very foundations of the Earth.
The fight was unlike anything the others had ever witnessed before.
If not for the protective barrier around the ship, the ship would have been reduced to ashes in an instant by the shear force of the fight.
"Is this really a fight between cultivators?" Su Bingxin whispered in awe.
The clash of energy and the sheer magnitude of power being unleashed was overwhelming.
It was as if the laws of nature were being defied and rewritten at that very moment.
She had been in the sect all her life, and the strongest person she knew was her master and sect master.
She didn't know the level of her master, but the sect master was a Peak Nascent Soul expert; his words carried immense weight.
But what she was witnessing now was on a completely different level.
The two cultivators before her were unleashing a power that seemed to surpass anything she had ever known.
The air crackled with energy. Su Bingxin could hardly believe her eyes as she witnessed the destruction caused by their every move.
It was a fight that transcended the boundaries of ordinary cultivators, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of beings these cultivators truly were.
"That normal cultivator could possess such power," Yin Yun said, unlike others who looked at the fight with awe and admiration; she looked at the fight as if it was normal.
"You look like you're used to seeing this kind of power," Chen Tian commented, his voice filled with curiosity.
Yin Yun chuckled softly, her eyes never leaving the intense battle before them.
"I've seen my fair share of extraordinary cultivators," she replied, her tone tinged with a hint of pride. "When you reach the sect, you will see how this world is far beyond what you can imagine. The power displayed here is just a glimpse of what lies ahead.
In the sect, there are cultivators who can move mountains and can kill that beast without even moving." She exposed Su Bingxin further.
Su Bingxin's eyes widened in awe as she struggled to comprehend the magnitude of the power Yin Yun was describing.
Chen Tian held her hand as she tried to wrap her mind around the idea that there were individuals capable of such incredible feats.
Remembering that her husband was also a previous powerhouse.
Her view was suddenly shifted as she realized that she had been living in a pond this whole time, unaware of the vast ocean of power that existed beyond her limited understanding.
"Look at the three Elders; they are only looking at the fight and not participating because it is meaningless to them," Yin Yun whispered, pointing towards the three Elders watching the incredible display of power.
As Chen Tian observed them, he could tell that these three elders were stronger than the four elders that were fighting in the sky.
Curiosity filled his mind as he wondered how strong these three elders were, especially Xu Zhiyuan, who offered them a place in the Immortal Sword Sect.
"No, I can't use my Chaos Insight on them; they would probably feel my presence, and it could make them suspicious of me," Chen Tian thought to himself, realizing the importance of keeping a low profile.
He could check the cultivation levels of the four elders and the beast, all because they were occupied and wouldn't notice him, but the three elders, like Xu Zhiyuan, would probably notice.
He knew that his Chaos Insight ability, which allowed him to see through the true power levels of others, could potentially be a great ability that could help him navigate the dangerous world of cultivation.
However, revealing his true strength or ability could potentially put him in a precarious position.
Chen Tian understood that in the world of cultivation, strength often dictated one's status and treatment.
If these elders were to discover his true power, they might view him as a threat or try to exploit him for their own gain.
Therefore, he decided to bide his time and observe.
"The fight is also coming to an end!" Chen Tian thought to himself as he watched the intense battle unfold before him.
It was only a matter of time before the Yinglong would lose its strength and be defeated.
In the end, he was against four cultivators at the same level.
A fire sword that was made of dao energy appeared next to an elder, its blazing flames illuminating the surroundings.
|Swishhhhh|
The sword was aimed fiercely at the Yinglong, slicing through the air with incredible speed.
Because of the countless attacks of the elders, the beast couldn't react; its already-damaged body was now further weakened.
The fire sword pierced through the Yinglong's scales, causing it to let out a deafening roar of agony. As its life force rapidly drained away.
Its body slammed directly into the sea with an earth-shattering impact, creating a massive tidal wave.
"Quick, don't let its corpse be lost at sea!" shouted one of the elders.
The remaining elders scrambled to retrieve the fallen beast, knowing that its body held valuable resources and would bring them a lot of money.
'What a pity if I could absorb this beast body. How much my cultivation could have improved..." Chen Tian thought to himself as he watched the elders frantically working to salvage the creature.
