### Chapter 12: Chu Yun’s Divine Path Technique
June 18, 2014 Author: Gu Zhenren
“Young Master Chu Yun has been in enlightenment for eleven days. Every day, he looks like a statue. We don’t know how much progress he’s made,” Fairy Xia Fan said, her brow furrowed. She looked at Chu Yun’s back from afar, not daring to disturb him.
“Don’t worry. Young Master Chu Yun is blessed with great fortune. This time, he will surely be able to reach the peak of the King level,” Fairy Feiyang comforted her.
“Xia Fan, you should have confidence in Chu Yun. Has he ever failed at anything he set his mind to?” Fairy Qian Qin added.
Fairy Xia Fan pouted slightly, her expression adorably coy. “Even so, I can’t help but worry about the Young Master. We all know his situation. Finding his family won’t be easy; it’s like snatching someone from a Saint’s grasp. The thought of it makes my heart tremble.”
Chu Yun had not concealed his conversation with the White Emperor from them. He had told them everything. The Blissful Immortal Consorts understood their predicament. As Fairy Xia Fan spoke of this, the surrounding fairies couldn’t help but frown, their expressions grave.
With Saints involved, the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became heavy.
“That’s why we sisters must work harder. Young Master Chu Yun has helped us so much, and now our relationship is so close. His matters are our matters,” Fairy Hongshang’s voice suddenly rang out.
“Indeed, we share prosperity and hardship together,” Fairy Xingyu added with a cold expression.
Fairy Hongshang continued, “The laws of Danzhou are different from those of Xingzhou. We’ve been taking turns going out these days to adapt to the Net of Law in Danzhou. Have any of you sisters felt the bottlenecks you faced before showing signs of loosening?”
Her words were like stones dropped into a calm lake, immediately causing quite a stir among the Blissful Immortal Consorts. Many of them’s eyes lit up, and they all admitted that they had made progress in their respective specialized fields.
The Immortal Consorts who were not yet Masters were showing signs of entering the Master realm, while those who were already Masters were progressing towards Grandmaster.
The Blissful Immortal Consorts specialized in various auxiliary fields, and each had achieved considerable attainment. Although when they first arrived in Danzhou, their abilities in these areas were greatly suppressed due to the change in environment.
Misfortune and fortune are interdependent. The suppression paradoxically stimulated the Blissful Consorts’ potential. From the different environments of the two continents, they perceived the differences in the Nets of Law, deepening their understanding of Dao and Reason.
It could be predicted that as they continued to adapt, the Blissful Immortal Consorts would experience an explosive growth in their strength.
“One Master is nothing. But a Grandmaster is different. To a Grandmaster, a Master is like a commoner. Sisters, strive to become Grandmasters. We are not skilled in combat, and this is the only way we can help Chu Yun and prevent him from fighting alone!” Fairy Hongshang’s words echoed throughout the ship.
Like a spark igniting a fire, the previously hesitant Immortal Consorts’ eyes all gleamed.
The Immortal Consorts began to whisper among themselves. Through their hushed conversations, an excited undertone could be discerned.
Ever since they were refined into Demon Soldiers, the Blissful Immortal Consorts had either been sealed or had been homeless and wandering for years. Their greatest wish was to reunite with their lost sisters.
Now that this wish had been fully realized, the Immortal Consorts had lost their purpose and were somewhat adrift. Fairy Hongshang’s words now gave them a direction to strive for.
Fairy Hongshang surveyed the group, a slight smirk playing on her lips, and said in a seductive tone, “What do you think Young Master Chu Yun’s expression will be when he successfully completes his enlightenment and sees that some of us have already become Grandmasters?”
The chatter among the Blissful Immortal Consorts suddenly ceased, then erupted with renewed fervor.
Thinking of Chu Yun, some of the fairies’ faces flushed, revealing their bashful charm. Others chuckled playfully, teasing each other.
For a time, the Blissful Joy Ship was filled with the sweet sounds of conversation, its atmosphere lively and vibrant, a stark contrast to the earlier gloom.
They had a new purpose in life!
Glancing around, Fairy Hongshang nodded subtly, knowing that the Immortal Consorts’ enthusiasm had been fully ignited.
Her gaze suddenly fixed. Among the crowd, Fairy Xingyu stood apart, her expression still cold. However, there was a hint of a smile in her eyes as she looked at Fairy Hongshang… A flash of an eye, and over a month had passed.
“I’ve advanced! I’ve become a Grandmaster!” Fairy Xia Fan stumbled back, shouting excitedly all the way.
The entire ship was alerted.
“Heh heh, Little Sister Xia Fan, you are the twelfth person to advance to Grandmaster. Congratulations!”
“Xia Fan has also become a Grandmaster. That’s amazing.”
Sincere congratulations erupted in a wave of sound.
Xia Fan’s pretty face was flushed red, her excitement evident for all to see.
“Good, keep up the effort.” Fairy Hongshang walked over and patted Xia Fan’s shoulder. She was the leader of the Immortal Consorts and the first to achieve Grandmaster status.
“Mhm. I will listen to you, Sister Hongshang.” Fairy Xia Fan nodded repeatedly.
Fairy Hongshang smiled, about to offer further encouragement, when her expression suddenly changed.
For some reason, the Blissful Joy Ship began to tremble slightly. In the blink of an eye, the vibrations intensified dramatically, as if they were caught in a raging storm.
“What’s happening?” The women were extremely shocked and rushed out of the cabin.
“It’s not our ship shaking, it’s the entire Immortal Pouch World that’s shaking!” someone exclaimed.
At that moment, the entire Immortal Pouch World was violently trembling. The snow-white sky, like a shattered mirror, showed cracks crisscrossing its expanse. On the yellow earth, fierce winds howled, mountains collapsed, and the ground split open. The Innate Demonic Creatures suppressing the fifty-five array eyes revealed themselves, some roaring, some emitting bursts of demonic energy, others radiating profound light.
The Immortal Consorts stared, dumbfounded.
“Is a powerful enemy attacking?!” Fairy Hongshang’s eyes flashed with determination, and she said in a deep voice, “No matter who it is, we must protect Young Master Chu Yun!”
“No, that’s not right…” Fairy Xingyu’s face turned pale, and she spoke with disbelief. “It’s Chu Yun!”
On the deck, Chu Yun was enveloped in a brilliant spirit light.
The spirit light was so dense that it formed a ball of light, completely shrouding Chu Yun’s body.
Every half-second, the light sphere emitted a brilliant wave of light. The waves spread out in all directions at an extremely high speed, vibrating the air along the way, which was the culprit causing the entire Immortal Pouch World to tremble.
“Ah, Young Master Chu Yun has succeeded in his enlightenment and is beginning to condense his Divine Path Technique!” an Immortal Consort exclaimed with joy, and the other women cheered.
“But why is there such a huge commotion? When Greedy Wolf King and Wine King achieved enlightenment, it wasn’t like this at all,” another Immortal Consort murmured.
The women were both happy and worried, casting concerned glances his way.
The spirit light grew increasingly intense, expanding to three times its original size and occupying the entire front deck. The spiritual pressure also grew stronger, breaking through the limits from the high King level to the peak King level. Then, it broke through again from the peak King level, reaching the Emperor level!
Emperor-level spiritual pressure!
The faces of the Immortal Consorts changed, and they all retreated, unable to withstand such pressure.
ROAR—!
Suddenly, a deafening blast, like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, resounded throughout the Immortal Pouch World.
The sound was so magnificent that the Immortal Consorts’ knees went weak, and they felt an overwhelming urge to kneel and worship.
As if summoned by this sound, the Net of Law of the Immortal Pouch World appeared in the snow-white sky.
A pillar of light, over ten feet in radius, shot out from Chu Yun’s spirit light, soaring into the sky. Like a wild dragon ascending to heaven, a rainbow piercing the sun, it instantly slammed into the Net of Law.
Chu Yun’s Net of Law was quite dense; even among Emperor-level experts, it was considered upper-tier. This was because when creating this Net of Law, the Night Emperor, Immortal Pouch King, Underworld Emperor, Chu Yun, and Wine King had all worked together, consuming almost all the Upper grade Immortal Pouches from Xingzhou, and even one Star Saint’s Will.
Within the Net of Law, the ‘Tathagata’ cultivation method served as the main thread, with other cultivation methods like ‘Overlord Soldier’, ‘Senhai’, and ‘Tianji’ as sub-threads. However, Chu Yun’s Divine Path Technique now collided with the Net of Law, pushing all other cultivation methods aside and, with an all-conquering, unyielding kingly demeanor, occupying the central position and becoming the main thread!
“Immeasurable Dao!” Chu Yun’s voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the vast sky. The fifty-five Innate Demonic Creatures roared in response. The sound was incessant, rising wave after wave. Amidst this sonic tide, the entire Immortal Pouch World began to crackle and shatter.
This was a veritable cataclysm, and the Immortal Consorts listened with pounding hearts.
However, after the shattering came renewal.
The heavens rose higher and higher, becoming more expansive. The earth sank lower and lower, becoming incredibly solid.
The world was overturned and renewed!
The entire process lasted for over an hour. When the world finally calmed down, Chu Yun’s spirit light also receded into his body.
Only then did the women see Chu Yun’s figure clearly, and they couldn’t help but hold their breath.
He stood at the bow of the ship, his back like a wolf’s back and his waist like a bee’s, his body as straight as a spear. His white robes were like snow, and his black hair danced in the wind. His eyes were like stars, and his eyebrows like twin swords. He was a dragon among men, elegant and graceful.
He exuded a unique aura of magnanimity, purity, nobility, elegance, and wisdom, inspiring an urge to draw close.
Success!
Chu Yun’s divine light slowly receded from his eyes. His heart was filled with exhilaration and joy. He had condensed his own Divine Path Technique, calling it—Immeasurable Dao!
This was the essence of his experiences and insights from two lifetimes. The moment he condensed it, Chu Yun understood its effects clearly.
This Divine Path Technique was so powerful that even he found it hard to believe. In his opinion, it was undoubtedly the king of Divine Path Techniques!
“It will surely have a great use in the future!” Chu Yun clenched his fist, his heart filled with excitement. “Thanks to this Enlightenment Stone… uh…”
Chu Yun suddenly froze.
A gentle breeze blew, and the Innate level Enlightenment Stone crumbled into sand, scattering with the wind through the gaps between Chu Yun’s fingers.
The Innate Demonic Creature, the Enlightenment Stone, had been reduced to dust and disappeared into the wind.
“This shouldn’t be. The White Emperor clearly said the Enlightenment Stone could be reused,” a flicker of confusion crossed Chu Yun’s eyes, quickly replaced by a grave expression.
He understood the reason.
His Divine Path Technique was too powerful; it had consumed an Innate Demonic Creature!
