Chapter 380: Chapter 317: Door of Celestial

Translator: 549690339

The projection that Pei Xuanjing had solidified from the foundation of his Great Tao wasn’t created out of thin air but was bound to emerge.

The harmonious progress in the refinement of essence, qi, and spirit indicated that there was no deficiency in Pei Xuanjing’s cultivation path – it was perfect.

This is why he manifested the projection symbolizing the foundation of the Great Tao.

However, for the Red Sun Martial Venerate, his situation was different because of his background in this world. The primary method he cultivated was the Path of Qi Refinement, which he had pursued to the extreme, being only half a step away from entering the celestial realm. His current realm undoubtedly proved his innate talent and comprehension to be unmatched.

However, he was not truly cultivating all three methods simultaneously. The farther he journeyed down the Path of Qi Refinement, the more evident his deficiency became. His gap in refining the essence and spirit became larger.

Even if he forcefully condensed it now, the projection of the Great Tao he finally coalesced would inevitably be flawed and incomplete.

If he desired to truly condense a perfect projection like Pei Xuanjing, he needed to make up for his deficiencies by raising both his physical ability and the method of refining spirit to higher levels.

While this seemed simple, it was indeed a challenging task.

Look at Pei Xuanjing, for example. Despite his powerful foundation from cultivating three methods simultaneously, could he have achieved such a realm at his age without the aid of a simulator?

Certainly not.

Without substantial resources, it is almost impossible for the Red Sun Martial Venerate to elevate his physical ability and spirit refinement method in the World of Myriad Manifestations, where he doesn’t have any basic foundations.

It is like trying to reach for the moon reflected in the water or the flowers in the mirror – seemingly within reach but actually unattainable.

Therefore, his happiness was destined to be short-lived.

“Pei Min, you’ve truly surprised me!” The Red Sun Martial Venerate spoke slowly, his face filled with envy.

He slowly released his Red Sun True Intent, but sadly, it was nothing more than an elusive phantom, barely even a rudimentary form.

What he had pursued for decades appeared within the person before him. How could he not be envious?

Pei Xuanjing’s brows raised slightly, immediately understanding the other party’s intentions from his actions.

At this moment, he finally understood what Ye Daoyuan had meant.

“Hehe.” Pei Xuanjing chuckled lightly, his hands never ceasing their movement.

If these were what you sought, then I shall generously give you a parting gift!

He slowly raised his sword. His movements were relaxed and his sword technique seemed ordinary, but the aura around him kept on rising and escalating. The Shenxiao Origin Qi spread in all directions – green, red, yellow, white, black, purple, blue – dyeing the whole sky, enveloping a radius of dozens of miles within these colors.

Under this sword technique, one could sense not only the bright sword intent, but also the lush vitality of spring, the scorching heat of summer, the bleak chill of autumn and the biting cold of winter.

The Four Seasons Rotation was unpredictable and followed a cycle of continuous birth and rebirth. It seemed as though it had no beginning and no end, perpetually cycling through time.

Pei Xuanjing stood there, his body moving with the sword, the sword moving with his heart. At this moment, he seemed to be blending with Heaven and Earth, embodying an indescribable rhythm.

Pei Xuanjing’s essence, qi and spirit merged into one, and his sword strike possessed a startling power.

He stated loudly, “Humans possess the three treasures of essence, qi and spirit. My Tao too is divided into refinement of essence, qi and spirit. They advance together, without a single flaw. Martial Venerate, please receive my blade, the Shenxiao Heavenly Will!”

The three paths of essence, qi and spirit?

Is this your path to cultivation?

A certain haze emerged in the Red Sun Martial Venerate’s eyes. Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s unrestrained display of his skills and hearing his declaration, he understood his opponent’s cultivation path.

“Is this the key to forming a projection of the Great Tao’s foundation?” He seemed to have an epiphany.

I don’t believe it!

I refuse to believe that only by cultivating the three paths simultaneously can one enter this realm!

I believe that my own Tao can achieve this as well.

This displayed the Red Sun Martial Venerate’s self-confidence as a powerful individual.

The path is up ahead; nothing is impossible to accomplish.

Has no one ever achieved this before?

Then let me be the first to tread this path!

Shenxiao Heavenly Will Sword!

Confronting this terrifying sword of Pei Xuanjing’s, the Red Sun Martial Venerate sensed the breath of death from this technique. He couldn’t afford to slacken in the slightest. He released all of his Red Sun Origin Qi without reservation.

He understood that this move was a matter of life and death and also concerned his own path to enlightenment.

He bet everything on this, urging himself with this sword to take that extra step.

If he succeeds, he would break through the void and transform into a celestial being.

If he failed, he would die and his Tao would be lost, sinking into oblivion for eternity.

As a powerful individual, there was nothing scarier than seeing hope and then losing it.

The Red Sun Martial Venerate had his own stubbornness and his own thoughts; he was unwilling to admit defeat, and he wouldn’t accept it.

The climax of this desperate struggle was happening right at this moment!

Boom!

The aura around his body exploded, and the momentum, which had already reached its limit, exploded again.

This represented the burning of everything and the ultimate sublimation!

At this moment, he had put his own life on the line, ready to make his last stand.

Rumble…

In an instant, the Heaven and Earth turned completely red. Even Pei Xuanjing’s terrifying sword wasn’t able to change this circumstance.

The sky within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to have turned into a sea of fire, illuminating the canopy of the sky, while the Red Sun Martial Venerate himself radiated a magnificent glow. He seemed like a raging sun rising up, emitting a scorching temperature, as if he wanted to melt everything.

“Honor and wealth were never my objective, nor was richness. I have lived my entire life only for seeking the Tao,” The Red Sun Martial Venerate’s mind was filled with various scenes from his life.

From a simple shepherd’s son, he had grown to become the national teacher of Da Li. His life had seen magnificent waves of brilliance. He had faced slaughter on the battlefield, enjoyed unlimited power and glory, and had also spent decades cultivating bitterly in the Great Snow Mountain…

He realized that the happiest time of his life was not anything else, but those decades of bitter cultivation in the Great Snow Mountain. It was lonely, but it felt real…

In a blur, he seemed to see a gateway appearing above the sky, carved with elusive patterns, exuding an imperishable aura.

“The Door of Celestial!”

Almost everyone saw this celestial gate, suspended high above the sky.

The expressions of the many onlookers were filled with shock, poorly concealed. They never expected that the clash between the two today would actually summon the legend’s Door of Celestial!

It was rumored that anyone who could open this celestial gate could ascend to the Heavenly World and transform into a celestial being.

Could it be that a true celestial is going to emerge today?

At this moment, numerous powerhouses in the World of Myriad Manifestations were taken aback, all shocked by the appearance of the celestial gate.

“Hmm?” Pei Xuanjing’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked at the suddenly appearing celestial gate, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He never expected that the legendary “Door of Celestial” truly existed.

The fierce blade light swept across, and a touch of regret flashed in the Red Sun Martial Venerate’s eyes as he witnessed the celestial door gradually fading…

What a pity.

What a pity, I was just a little short…
