Chapter 30: Chapter Twenty-Nine: Innate Celestial Art Heritage

The four Dharma Aspects of Five Elements, Four Symbols, Yin-Yang, and Cause and Effect, containing four kinds of Great Dao True Talismans.

Connecting four Great Daos, actively emanating Dao Rhythms.

Then, under Chen Daoxuan's control.

In the two Merit Lotus Ponds, the countless Merit Lotus Fruits began to dissipate one after another.

Golden and cyan Merit lights radiated forth, and in the unseen depths, converged with the four Dharma Aspects.

Resonating with something, changing something.

……

According to the records of the Shanhai Immortal Sect, to obtain an Innate Object.

Apart from incomprehensibly slim luck and chance encounters, in reality, it mainly depends on the cultivator's foundation, on the Great Dao they cultivate.

Only those with the hope of attaining immortality are most likely to receive the unseen favor of an Innate Object.

Able to make an Innate Object actively offer itself, actively acknowledge a master.

And Chen Daoxuan, just over ten thousand years old, has already reached Soul Egress, and even condensed Great Dao True Talismans, stepping onto the True Dao.

On the surface, in terms of immortal path potential, he is no inferior to those with Heaven-grade Dao Bodies.

He has the possibility of being favored by an Innate Object.

Combined with the aid of Merit, Chen Daoxuan felt he had a fifty or sixty percent chance of obtaining an Innate Object.

……

As for the possibility that after using all the Merit Lotus Fruits, he would fail to obtain an Innate Object, drawing water with a bamboo basket, Chen Daoxuan had also fully considered this.

Reaching Soul Departure Peak holds no difficulty for Chen Daoxuan; he only needs to spend some time to naturally reach it.

And the accumulated Merit Lotus Fruits, even if all used in cultivation, would only allow him to reach Soul Departure Peak, equivalent to helping him save some time.

For Chen Daoxuan, it would be better to use these Merit Lotus Fruits here, to try whether he could obtain an Innate Object.

An Innate Object, merely increasing his future chance of breaking through to Combined Body Stage by thirty percent, is already completely worth a gamble.

……

Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

When roughly two-thirds of the countless Merit Lotus Fruits had been consumed.

The Karma Mountain Dharma Aspect, which contained the lowest Great Dao and was condensed from only two Great Dao True Talismans, also just lost its perception at this moment.

Chen Daoxuan was not surprised by this.

According to his knowledge, when the Primordial Spirit departs, Spirit Wandering the Great Void, and the Primordial Spirit undergoes the Great Dao Baptism, a wisp of Law Imprint can only maintain Dharma Aspect perception for one season.

Two Great Dao True Talismans, equivalent to two wisps of Law Imprints, support exactly half a year.

……

Just when Chen Daoxuan felt in his heart that this attempt might fail.

Suddenly, through the still-connected Dharma Aspects of Five Elements, Yin-Yang, and Four Symbols, he sensed a wisp of flowing light emerging from the unseen depths within the void.

A transcendent, cosmic Innate Aura spread from that wisp of flowing light.

And circled back and forth around the Great Dao Primordial Spirit that was undergoing the Great Dao Baptism.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan rejoiced in his heart, knowing this was an Innate Object.

After several breaths of time.

Although that wisp of flowing light had no spiritual intelligence, only Innate Spirituality, Chen Daoxuan could clearly sense that at this moment, it radiated a kind of innocent joy toward him.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it plunged into the Primordial Spirit Dharma Realm, merging as one with the Great Dao Primordial Spirit.

Instantly, Chen Daoxuan sensed that an innocent yet vast, boundless, pure and flawless Innate Spirituality had formed a mysterious connection with him.

An Innate Gourd, full of tender youth, as if just newly grown, emerged in Chen Daoxuan's perception.

At the same time, a profound Innate Heritage of great law was transmitted from this Innate Gourd into his heart.

【Innate Calamity-Destroying Immortal Thunder】.

And this Innate Heritage of great law had two aspects in one.

It was both a supreme art of life and death, and a method of refining this Innate Gourd as a treasure.

Cultivating the law is refining the treasure; refining the treasure is cultivating the law.

At this, Chen Daoxuan was even more filled with pleasant surprise.

"So obtaining an Innate Object can actually grant a supreme Innate Heritage."

With only a cursory perception, Chen Daoxuan understood that this Innate Heritage was likely an Innate Celestial Art.

And the four Immortal Scripture heritages he had obtained—Mountain-Sea, Four Spirits, Wu Liang, and Yin-Yang Great Transformation.

Only the Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Scripture contained a Celestial Art, and it was merely a supplementary Celestial Art.

As for the other three Immortal Scriptures—Mountain-Sea, Four Spirits, and Wu Liang—not a single Celestial Art among them, at most only theoretically containing Great Dao Forbidden Arts that could rival Celestial Arts.

He did not know whether the Shanhai Immortal Sect had no Celestial Art heritage, or had simply not transmitted it to him yet.

Chen Daoxuan leaned toward the latter.

……

And just as Chen Daoxuan was brimming with joy.

Through the three Dharma Aspects, he saw another wisp of flowing light manifest from that void.

An Innate Aura, ten times stronger than when the Innate Gourd appeared, spread from this wisp of flowing light.

The moment it appeared, without waiting for Chen Daoxuan to react, it directly fell into that entirely cyan Tiandao Gongde Lianchi Fajie.

Merging completely as one with that Fifth-Grade Merit Cyan Lotus, a Fifth-Grade Merit Object.

In an instant, it caused this Merit Object in the form of a Fifth-Grade Merit Cyan Lotus to transform into an Innate Lotus of Merit, Twelve Grades.

That Tiandao Gongde Lianchi Fajie began to expand endlessly without cease.

Within the Innate Lotus of Merit, Twelve Grades, the vast yet ignorant Innate Spirituality resonated and merged with Chen Daoxuan.

An Innate Merit Heritage also surged from within the Innate Lotus of Merit, Twelve Grades, into his heart.

……

For a moment.

Chen Daoxuan was utterly astonished.

According to the Shanhai Immortal Sect's records on Innate Objects.

Innate Objects born of the Great Universe all possess the Innate characteristic of never meeting and never coexisting with one another.

Even those with supreme immortal bodies, Great Vehicle Immortals, could obtain at most one Innate Object.

Even if one forcibly obtained a second Innate Object, it would only bring about the self-destruction and annihilation of that second Innate Object.

Yet now, after gaining the favor of the Innate Gourd, he had also obtained a second Innate Object.

Directly breaking the Shanhai Immortal Sect's records on Innate Objects.

At this, beyond his astonishment, Chen Daoxuan had some guesses in his thoughts.

The first Innate Object, the Innate Gourd, though aided by merit, was still equivalent to an ordinary acquisition.

As for the second Innate Object, it should have been attracted by that Tiandao Gongde Lianchi Fajie.

It was a variable triggered in this Immortal-transformed Great Universe by the Merit Path heritage unique to that region of the Tianling Great Realm.

……

"Haha, plant flowers with care and they fail to bloom; plant willows by chance and they grow into shade."

"Two Innate Objects, plus two Innate Heritages — four joys at the door!"

Sensing the two Innate Objects and two Innate Heritages obtained in that brief instant, Chen Daoxuan did not continue to consume the remaining third of the Merit Lotus Fruit.

Gathering his thoughts.

Chen Daoxuan began to communicate and interact with the two Innate Objects — the Innate Gourd and the Innate Lotus of Merit, Twelve Grades.

Bit by bit, he familiarized himself with and mastered these two Innate Objects.

He carefully sensed the mysterious influence these two Innate Objects had upon him.

And with every exchange with the two Innate Objects, Chen Daoxuan clearly felt himself undergoing a certain baptism — his spiritual intelligence and comprehension both experienced a wondrous elevation.
