Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1610: Chapter 867: Entering Purple Cloud Mountain, Mixed Element Qi Great Capture (2)

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but show their joy.

"The first step of initiation is to offer incense to the Ancestor and to personally swear the Three Vows and Nine Precepts, along with the seventy-two rules."

At this point, the Unification Realm Expert shifted his tone slightly and said, "Jingxu, you go first."

As soon as the words fell, a young Daoist with a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament stepped forward from the crowd.

This person came to the offering table with a few steps, first bowing respectfully to the Daoist in the purple robe, and said, "Gong’an Ancestor."

He then took out three sticks of incense from his sleeve, lit them, and after bowing thrice to the Divine Statue of the Ancestor, he inserted the Ten Thousand Years Incense into the incense burner.

Then, the young Daoist known as Jingxu began to swear his oath in public.

"I, Daoist Jingxu, today swear before the Divine Statue of the Ancestor: The first vow is to abolish the three desires of greed, anger, and ignorance; the second vow is to not associate with Evil Demons and Outer Paths..."

Moments later, Jingxu finished swearing the oath, and suddenly a ray of light descended from the Divine Statue of the Ancestor.

The light flashed and entered the top of Jingxu’s head, then disappeared.

Jingxu bowed once more and then retreated to the middle of the crowd of cultivators.

The Daoist in the purple robe scanned the crowd with his gaze, suddenly pointed to someone in the middle, and suddenly said, "You... the second one."

Me?

Zhao Sheng felt a jolt in his heart, suddenly sensing something was amiss.

But he didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly walked out from the crowd, humbly approaching the Daoist in the purple robe, and similarly bowed respectfully, saying, "Gong’an Ancestor."

Then, with a sense of dread, he offered incense to the Taiching Ancestor and publicly swore the Three Vows, Nine Precepts, and other rules and regulations.

After swearing the oath, Zhao Sheng felt a warmth on top of his head, as if a warm current flowed into his mind from his crown.

The next moment, mysteriously, a formless and intangible shackle seemed to have appeared deep within his Primordial Spirit.

Zhao Sheng was initially surprised, then inexplicably felt relaxed.

At this moment, he already understood why the Taiqing Sect was not afraid of outsiders infiltrating their sect.

With the rules and regulations as constraints, the vast majority of internal spies couldn’t stir up any trouble, and would eventually be assimilated, becoming true members of the Taiqing Sect.

Zhao Sheng quickly stepped back, and the third disciple immediately emerged from the crowd...

In this manner, everyone stepped forward one by one to offer incense and bow to the Ancestor, and publicly swore their Dao oaths.

About an hour later, Zhao Sheng and the others left the Ancestral Hall, then went to the Hall of Authenticity to receive their Inner Sect Daoist robes and identity tokens.

Afterward, each cultivator chose a cave mansion as their Dao Field for cultivation, and finally, they separated and went to their respective cave mansions.

In Taiqing Cave Heaven, there are countless famous mountains and rivers, but only the most ancient Nine Palaces Mountain is the location of the Taiqing Sect’s ancestral court.

In the past, the Taiching Ancestor attained the Dao and ascended in Nine Palaces Mountain. Hence, the Second Ancestor established the sect there, and countless years have passed since the creation of the Taiqing Sect.

To this day, Nine Palaces Mountain has undergone earth-shattering changes. Each Ling Mountain can be regarded as an independent Grotto Heaven with boundless space-time, an extremely high concentration of Spiritual Energy, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures found everywhere.

The eighth mountain, also known as Purple Cloud Peak, is where the Inner Sect of the Taiqing Sect resides. The majority of the inner and outer disciples’ cave mansions are located on various Spirit Realm Blessed Lands of Purple Cloud Peak.

Eight thousand miles southeast of Purple Cloud Peak lies a picturesque valley, where streams flow meanderingly, and spirit fields crisscross on both banks.

And in the deepest part of the valley, a seven-story pavilion is built against the mountain, appearing majestic and radiant from afar.

This seven-story pavilion is also known as Late Sun, built by predecessors, and has now become Zhao Sheng’s Dao Field for cultivation.

...

The next dawn, just as the Great Sun was rising from the horizon, the vast sky was dyed with purple clouds.

Large swathes of purple clouds spread from the horizon, appearing like a vast spectacle of three thousand miles of purple qi coming from the east.

At this moment, on the seventh floor of Late Sun Pavilion, Zhao Sheng was sitting cross-legged in a plain white Daoist robe.

Gazing at the vast purple clouds, his eyes shimmered, and a gentle radiance suddenly enveloped his entire body.

Shortly after, he slowly stretched out his right hand, and from a distance, he grabbed toward the vast purple clouds.

In the next instant, an enormous, lifelike jade-white palm, the size of a hundred acres, appeared out of nowhere. It clenched its five fingers and fiercely tore down a large portion from the vast purple clouds.

In a split second, the jade-white giant palm plummeted and disappeared into the protective light surrounding Zhao Sheng.

The "Mixed Element Qi Cave True Scripture," one of the three oldest Immortal Laws of the Taiqing Sect, details seven Great Divine Skills, twenty-three minor Divine Skills, and thousands of Secret Techniques and Abnormal Skills in its Divine Power Chapter.

The "Mixed Yuan Qi Great Capture" that Zhao Sheng just used is precisely one of the seven Great Divine Skills, and it is the easiest to learn but hardest to master.

Zhao Sheng, as a beginner, grasped merely the basics, barely reaching the entry-level realm.

Even so, the "Mixed Yuan Qi Great Capture" still displayed a few terrifying capabilities.

Zhao Sheng opened his right hand, and a swirling purple qi danced uncertainly in his palm.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, causing the swirling purple qi to soar into the air, flash, and disappear into his mouth.

In the next second, Zhao Sheng’s eyes shone brilliantly, and a bright light from his body suddenly shot skyward, instantly converging into a colossal palm that once again tore down a large portion from the vast purple clouds.

In an instant, the sky was left with a massive void, through which the azure, clear Heavenly Vault could be seen distinctly.

After tearing down a portion of purple cloud, Zhao Sheng was still not satisfied and once again silently invoked his Mysterious Skill, continuously using the "Mixed Yuan Qi Great Capture" three more times.

After swallowing four masses of the Great Sun Purple Qi in succession, the vast purple clouds finally dissipated, and the Tianqiong returned to clarity.

A tea’s time later, Zhao Sheng gradually retracted his protective light, and the pure mana from his limbs and bones returned to his Core Energy Sea.

At the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look towards the west.
