54: Duanmu Wan's discovery, condensing the Dao Seed

“Bingbing is so well-behaved!”

Chu Tian praised, then raised his hand to rub her head before closing his eyes to familiarize himself with the control of his Spirit Refining Realm power, preparing to condense the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed.

Gaining Duanmu Saint Ancestor’s approval was naturally a pleasant surprise, but he hadn’t forgotten that his main purpose in entering the Holy Sky Pool this time was to reverse the primary-secondary relationship between Ye Feng and Chu Yunshang.

Bingbing also seemed to enjoy this intimate feeling, her large eyes slightly narrowed as she leaned against Chu Tian’s shoulder, a hint of lazy fatigue in her voice as she murmured, “Little… snake, you go back first. I want to… play with Big Brother Chu Tian.”

Immediately, the Shengzu leaned against Chu Tian’s shoulder and fell into a deep sleep, a slight, satisfied smile gracing the corners of her lips. Having lived a second life, her Divine Sense was not yet fully condensed, causing her to wake and sleep intermittently. Her prolonged interaction with Chu Tian had consumed a significant amount of her energy.

Dragon King also seemed to hear Bingbing's voice, turning his head as his long, winding Dragon body merged into the darkness. His massive body moved, stirring up huge waves in the Holy Sky Pool, but he quickly vanished from the sight of those present.

It wasn’t until Dragon King disappeared that the Jiaolong in the Holy Sky Pool, who had been in a prone position, resumed their original postures and began to roam the Holy Sky Pool. Everything seemed to return to its original state.

In the square, there was a suffocating silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and not a sound was made for a long time, not even a breath.

Everyone held their breath, staring blankly at the Shengzu sleeping on Chu Tian’s shoulder, afraid of making the slightest noise that might disturb her sleep. Even the elder Heavenly Gods found it difficult to regain their composure and enter a state of Cultivation.

Even the arrogant Hui Mei, from start to finish, had a ghost-like expression. It wasn’t until Chu Tian re-entered his Cultivation state that his mouth twitched violently.

Big Brother, he truly is Big Brother. He dared to rub Duanmu Saint Ancestor’s head, and twice at that. Compared to this, the few times Chu Tian hit his head were absolutely nothing.

At this moment, Hui Mei suddenly noticed Duanmu Wan cautiously approaching within five meters of Chu Tian. She quietly glanced at Chu Tian and the Shengzu, and seeing that she hadn't woken them, she breathed a sigh of relief and began to sit cross-legged to Cultivate.

Even after many years of death, the Great Dao understood by an Emperor-level supreme expert, whose body is integrated with Dao essence and Law, will not dissipate. Even just Cultivating near an emperor corpse, understanding Dao essence, and Cultivating Divine Ability will accelerate countless times. This is why the Heavenly Mandate Dao Venerable’s emperor corpse allowed a previously unknown small Family from the Saint Heaven Sect to rapidly rise to become a second-rate Family within the Saint Heaven Sect.

And Duanmu Saint Ancestor was even much stronger than Heavenly Mandate Dao Venerable, having once been invincible across myriad Realms, sweeping all before her. Before her passing, she used her body as the core to create the Holy Sky Pool, which cultivated countless powerful individuals for the Saint Heaven Sect. Now, she was sitting in the square, and with the Spiritual Qi in the Holy Sky Pool, Cultivating near her offered immeasurable benefits.

Hui Mei immediately realized this and sat down beside Duanmu Wan, even nudging her with his arm. When he saw Duanmu Wan’s eyes widen in anger, raising her hand to clench her fist as if to hit him, he immediately bared his teeth and smiled. Though his eyes were fixed on that magnificent area, he raised a finger to point at Duanmu Saint Ancestor.

“Tell me how you got them so big, and I won’t bother you anymore,” Hui Mei whispered.

“You…”

Duanmu Wan was furious, but she was also afraid of waking the Shengzu, so she had to forcibly suppress her anger. She allowed Hui Mei to sit beside her, and after giving Chu Tian a complex look, she also began to Cultivate.

The square was silent, but due to Bingbing’s arrival, the Spiritual Qi became invisibly richer and more abundant, and Dao essence surged. Everyone came to their senses and didn’t want to miss out, cautiously approaching Chu Tian and stopping ten meters away.

Even the older generation began to gather around Chu Tian, forming a circle with Chu Tian as the center, and began to Cultivate, as this was a great Opportunity.

However, even when Cultivating, they held their breath and concentrated, carefully inhaling and exhaling Spiritual Qi, not daring to make any noise.

In the Saint Heaven Sect, the two words ‘Shengzu’ were paramount, holding an extremely sacred meaning.

Not everyone was Chu Tian, daring to touch the Shengzu’s head.

Duanmu Saint Ancestor’s arrival brought immense benefits to everyone, but only Ye Feng, whose mind was now on the verge of collapse, could do nothing and enjoy no benefits, unable to even speak.

Under Chu Tian’s mental isolation, he could not absorb even a trace of Spiritual Qi.

Time flowed, three days passed, and only one day remained until the Holy Sky Pool opened.

“Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed, condense.”

Chu Tian’s eyes opened, with Yin and Yang Dao essence flowing within his pupils. He spread his hands, and dense Spiritual Qi began to gather in his palms, forming two Spiritual Qi vortices.

His spirit transformed into Dao runes, continuously merging into the vortices in his palms.

Refining the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed was not difficult; the hardest part was actually comprehending the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art, this supreme secret art, to an extremely profound level. As Chu Tian understood from the true explanation he obtained, even among the Supreme Dao Clan, very few Prodigies could comprehend the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art in the Spirit Refining Realm, let alone condense the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed.

In the Supreme Dao Clan, reversing the Supreme Yin Yang Art cultivated by a Body Integration Realm Prodigy like Ye Feng almost always required a supreme expert at the Heavenly God Realm or above to personally take action, and they would need over a thousand years of comprehending the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art to have a high degree of certainty.

For someone like Chu Tian to attempt to condense the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed in the Spirit Refining Realm and reverse two Body Integration Realm Prodigies whose Realm were a full level higher than his, it was simply an absurd fantasy.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Two Dao seeds, one black and one white, like two Medicinal Pills the size of a thumb-cap, gradually began to form in Chu Tian’s palms.

“This is the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed.” Bingbing was startled awake by the commotion. Seeing the Dao seeds Chu Tian was condensing, she rubbed her eyes and said, “Big Brother Chu Tian, you’re Cultivating the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art of the Supreme Dao Clan.”

“Big Brother is so amazing! Even in the Supreme Dao Clan, there’s never been anyone as amazing as Big Brother who can condense the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed at this age and Realm. You must have Cultivated this secret art to a very profound Realm.”

“Bingbing will help Big Brother speed up.”

Bingbing’s voice was tender, full of childish innocence, yet she knew a great deal. With a wave of her hand, surging Spiritual Qi and Dao essence rushed forth, merging into the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed.

Chu Tian was even more surprised. It seemed that the eunuch author from his middle school days had left many things unwritten before abandoning the story, because the original plot never mentioned Duanmu Saint Ancestor having Cultivated the Supreme Yin Yang Great Dao Art. This supreme secret art was created by the Dao Ancestor of the Supreme Dao Clan, a secret technique of their Family, never to be passed down externally.

And Bingbing’s technique, in Chu Tian’s eyes, was still a bit immature because her control over her body was not yet precise, but the Dao essence was extremely rich. It was clear that Duanmu Saint Ancestor’s comprehension of this secret art during her lifetime had probably reached a masterful level. Therefore, even after hundreds of thousands of years of death, the inherited insights allowed Bingbing, whose spiritual consciousness had only recently awakened, to master it to a very profound degree.

It seemed that besides the Star Clan, the Supreme Dao Clan had probably also been troubled quite a bit by Duanmu Saint Ancestor.

With Bingbing’s help, her control over the Spiritual Qi and Dao essence in the Holy Sky Pool was terrifying. Immediately, the Yin-Yang Grand Dao Seed in Chu Tian’s palm accelerated its formation, and in a short while, it completely solidified into a tangible form.

“This is a Lightning Seed condensed from Yin Yang Lightning Technique?” At this moment, Duanmu Wan, not far away, felt a slightly familiar fluctuation and woke up. Seeing the black and white Dao seeds Chu Tian had condensed, she was immediately greatly surprised.

The Duanmu Family possesses a secret technique that protects their Family, called Yin Yang Lightning Technique. It is said to have been created by Duanmu Saint Ancestor, combining a supreme secret technique with the Divine Ability mastered by her younger brother, Duanmu Shen.

When this secret technique is Cultivated to a profound level, it can condense Lightning Seeds for Family disciples to consume, helping them to Cultivate this Divine Ability faster.

And the contemporary Duanmu Family are descendants of Duanmu Shen, the Shengzu’s own younger brother.

Duanmu Saint Ancestor was invincible across the Hengtian Continent, sweeping aside all her peers. Naturally, no man could catch her eye, so she left no children. The Duanmu Family, descended from Duanmu Shen, inherited Duanmu Saint Ancestor’s legacy, which allowed them to become a top Family in the Saint Heaven Sect.
