At the same time, the Dao-rhythm of Yi Tianxing's Emperor's Dao poured unceasingly from the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Body into the growing cloud above him.
This Dharma Body was his Primordial Spirit, his Yang God—fully materialized and brimming with Yang God power, capable of influencing laws and the fabric of reality even in the outer world.
From his myriad life acupoints (命窍)—such as the Innate Yin-Yang Eyes, the Five Elements acupoints (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), as well as wind, thunder, poison, and ice, and dragon-related ones like dragon scales, dragon heart, dragon tendons, and dragon bones—along with the dantian, bubbling spring, heavenly voice, food cauldron, sea of consciousness, mundane world, space, darkness, light, and death-substitution acupoints—their origin forces surged into the cloud.
Within it, countless runes derived from various laws flashed and morphed.
Each collision between runes resulted in spontaneous integration and transformation, guided by the sovereign authority of the Emperor's Dao, creating perfect harmony within the cloud.
The cloud constantly changed form, brilliant light rippling through it in resplendent, multicolored brilliance.
Simultaneously, as the Dao Lord of Longevity continued preaching, mysterious new runes emerged and merged naturally into the Innate One Qi cloud, which absorbed them without resistance—evolving freely.
"I wonder… what form my Auspicious Cloud will take,"Yi Tianxing mused, curiosity rising.
There was something truly wondrous about such an unknown—unpredictable, yet brimming with potential.
Time passed. The cloud of Innate Qi above his head had grown massive. It gave him a feeling of standing between heaven and earth, body upright like a pillar of the cosmos.
The heavenly tones and the swirling runes inside the cloud clashed, intertwining with profound Dao-rhythms.
"It's nearly formed,"Yi Tianxing nodded inwardly. He could feel the Auspicious Cloud reaching its final phase of manifestation.
Whoosh!
At that moment, from within the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Body, a stream of violet Qi suddenly emerged and plunged into the cloud.
In an instant, the multicolored Auspicious Cloud transformed into violet, rolling like a purple mist. The embedded runes responded to this energy, flaring with divine brilliance, and the entire cloud solidified into a radiant purple-gold.
"Primordial Violet Qi… Tribulation-Free Auspicious Cloud (无劫渡厄庆云)."
At that moment, a clear instinctual understanding arose in Yi Tianxing's heart—he knew exactly what kind of cloud had formed and what power it held.
This Auspicious Cloud radiated pure noble majesty—a single glance made others feel ashamed and unworthy in comparison.
Within it, one could faintly see a Primordial Chaos World, where sun, moon, and stars shone in harmony. Celestial music echoed endlessly. Within the cloud floated dragon-shaped tribulation-resisting golden lamps, shimmering in and out of view.
Each lamp radiated a mysterious Dao-rhythm, casting soft violet-gold light over the cloud. Their light gave off ethereal mist and soothing melody, cleansing the heart and tempering the will.
Outside the cloud, countless golden lotuses, jeweled garlands, and hanging pearls cascaded down like endless beads of water—an image of divine luxury and reverence.
"What an Auspicious Cloud… it repels all evil, remains untouched by any magic, immune to any divine technique. It dissolves calamity and tribulation, never affected by disaster. Its defensive power rivals any treasure. Every attack tempers it. Every tribulation becomes its nourishment.I remain untouched—but you bear the calamity. This Auspicious Cloud has no upper limit. Once it matures, it could rival even Innate Spirit Treasures, or even ascend to Innate Supreme Treasures. It is a Dao-guarding treasure that aids in attaining immortality."
Even Yi Tianxing was left speechless by the power of this Tribulation-Free Auspicious Cloud. Ordinary weapons or divine tools could never pierce it. With this cloud summoned, he had near-absolute magical immunity.
🔶 This was truly a top-tier Auspicious Cloud.
He also understood clearly that such a creation would've been impossible without the presence of the Primordial Violet Qi (鸿蒙紫气) in his body. Without it, he could never have reached this level.
Whoosh!
Almost as soon as the Auspicious Cloud solidified, three celestial flowers (三花) appeared above it—taking root upon the cloud itself. Each lotus shimmered with ancient runes, as though countless supreme immortal scriptures were being recited, their heavenly melodies echoing softly.
"Yang God Realm: Five Qi → Returning to Origin → Auspicious Cloud.Life Diagram (Heavenly Emperor Dragon-Taming Diagram) as Earth, Tribulation-Free Auspicious Cloud as Heaven, Heavenly Emperor Dharma Body in between—this is Heaven-Earth-Human Trinity. The Yang God is now complete. What a profound state! With the Auspicious Cloud present, I can now connect with the Dao-rhythm of heaven and earth as never before."
Yi Tianxing couldn't help but marvel.
Before, he had occasionally wielded power beyond the Yang God Realm, but only through external means—fleeting and shallow. But now, his insight and power were real. Every realization was now actualized strength.
With a single thought, he could command the laws of heaven and earth, manifest divine powers, and suppress all before him.
Meanwhile, the Dao Lord's lecture continued, and its Dao-rhythm was still being absorbed into the Auspicious Cloud, further strengthening Yi Tianxing's understanding and foundation.
Unconsciously, his life acupoints' essence increased, and more laws blossomed within him.
"With this, I've reached the pinnacle of the Yang God Realm."
Such a breakthrough didn't go unnoticed.
All the cultivators present were seasoned powerhouses. Even those who hadn't reached that level themselves could immediately recognize what had just happened.
Yi Tianxing had successfully broken through.
Condensing the Auspicious Cloud marked him as one of the top-tier experts. The next step was the True Spirit Realm (真灵境)—a gap so vast that countless geniuses had been stuck there for life.
Nearby, cultivators like the mysterious female cultivator, Zhuang Zhou, and Pure Yang Daoist all turned toward him. Their gazes were friendly—some even impressed.
Zhuang Zhou even offered a smile.
The stronger Yi Tianxing became, the more benefit he brought to the human race and the Eternal World.
"With this… the seal of Heaven's Dao may truly be on the verge of collapse. The age of chaos is about to begin,"Pure Yang Daoist thought, eyes flashing with emotion.
"The next step… True Spirit Realm. That's no easy path. Countless monstrous geniuses have been stuck there, even for lifetimes. Back then, we spent unimaginable effort just to break past that barrier. But now, with the fusion of all worlds and a new epoch dawning, the laws and Dao-rhythms of the universe are clearer than ever.Those who seize this moment will become legends.Those who miss it… will vanish into the crowd."
Everyone here had formidable perception, even while listening to the Dao.
They could clearly feel that Yi Tianxing had reached the peak of Yang God Realm, and they were inwardly astonished at his incredible speed.
With top-tier talent, backed by national destiny and vast resources, his cultivation advanced with unprecedented momentum.
But they didn't face Yi Tianxing's unique trials.
When they wanted, they could break through smoothly.
🟩 The True Spirit Realm (真灵境)
This realm had three stages:
Peering into Fate (窥命)
Summoning the Soul (唤魂)
True Spirit Manifestation (真灵)
True Spirit represents the innermost essence of a living being.
Each person is born with:
Three Souls: Heaven Soul, Earth Soul, Human Soul
Seven Spirits (魄): bound to the physical body.
At the Aspect Realm, one condenses the Earth and Human Souls and the Seven Spirits. But the Heaven Soul remains hidden in the River of Fate (命运长河).
Thus, one's soul remains incomplete.
To reach the True Spirit Realm, the greatest challenge lies in retrieving the Heaven Soul from the River of Fate and uniting it with the others.
The River of Fate spans all life and all races—it is everywhere and nowhere.
A being's entire life flows within it.
Great cultivators could peer into it, locating the Heaven Soul and glimpsing destiny and future possibilities.
The River is eternal, ceaselessly flowing forward.
A Heaven Soul is like a fish within that river. Unless one transcends fate, the soul is carried downstream, never returning—waiting for its next incarnation.
Thus, the True Spirit Realm is a critical threshold on the path to becoming a true grandmaster of divine powers.
Its core purpose:
Retrieve your Heaven Soul from the River of Fate. Only then can you master your destiny. No other can spy on your future or control your fate.
Those who achieve this are known as:
Zhenren (真人) – True Ones
Zhenjun (真君) – True Lords
True Immortals (真仙)
Its difficulty, however, is unimaginable.
But… not impossible.
Upon reaching Yang God Peak, the link between Yang Spirit and Heaven Soul becomes more visible.
With this connection, one may glimpse the River of Fate, borrowing a wisp of fate's power—this is the first stage:
Peering into Fate (窥命).
Using this thread of fate, one can forge a Rod of Destiny (命运钓竿), also called the Hook of Fate (窥命之钩):
Fate Power → the hook
Soul → the bait
Blood and Qi → the rod
Personal Dao → the fishing line
With it, the cultivator casts into the River of Fate, attempting to reel in their Heaven Soul.
