Chapter 239 [With a Brain]
Even though he knows this East Sea is cunning and shameless, Chen Yan has already believed part of his words.
Just because of that sentence: [Once was a Sword Cultivator, years ago due to an accident, after death, a Saint took pity and collected my soul...]
This explanation matches what the "East Sea" released from the Li Huo Candle said about his own past.
The East Sea who once helped him break through the seven-day calamity said he was a Sword Cultivator, perished during tribulation, then was saved by an old lady, changed to a Ghost Cultivator...
And later, entrusted to Saint Shanxiang, nurturing the soul in a lamp in front of the Saint’s seat, nourishing the power of the soul...
This is quite interesting.
Because Chen Yan has seen two East Seas!
If this East Sea before him was placed in front of Saint Shanxiang’s seat, then... who was the East Sea summoned from the Li Huo Candle during his seven-day calamity?
Chen Yan has carefully observed the appearance of these two lamp seas.
Can’t say similar, can only say completely identical.
Just like a direct copy and paste—twins aren’t this alike.
Just as Chen Yan was pondering, East Sea already continued speaking.
"Does the senior know that the Domain Realm’s masses, the Saints sitting atop clouds, starting from Celestial Venerable down to the various Venerables, there are altogether over forty? The Saint Position is something with a defined number."
Chen Yan frowned, feeling the Primordial Qi pressing on him slightly fluctuating again, yet he couldn’t pursue further questions, instead listening to East Sea’s content, having a quick thought, asking: "Defined number, from where does it come?"
East Sea shrank his neck, whispered: "This..."
Chen Yan sneered: "If you don’t tell, I can throw you out."
East Sea sighed: "Defined number, huh. To speak of the defined number, one must first speak of how the Heavenly Dao came into being... Before the Domain Realm Heavenly Dao was formed, this world was still a chaos.
At that time the Heavenly Dao had yet to form, but there were already quite a few Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures in this realm.
Like the senior’s Beautiful Glow, which is a piece of spiritual root that existed in this world before formation.
However at that time, the Heavenly Dao did not exist, so these spiritual roots or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures naturally were not suppressed by any force of the Heavenly Dao.
This batch of things, in the earliest days, were without life, luck, or fate.
However, suddenly the heavens and earth opened up, this realm became the present Domain Realm.
The earliest form of the Heavenly Dao was those ownerless spiritual treasures protecting the spiritual roots before the heavens and earth were opened, among which over forty woke up to consciousness, huddled together for warmth.
These things were all supreme treasures of heaven and earth.
At the beginning, those most powerful treasures fused into the newly born Domain Realm Heavenly Dao.
Over forty treasures, fused with the Heavenly Dao.
Just like... just like..."
...Just like founding shareholders? Chen Yan immediately thought of an apt metaphor.
The issue is, the earliest fusion forming the Heavenly Dao was all worldly spiritual treasures and spiritual roots—this was also the most powerful of those chosen in ancient times.
As a result, because over forty spiritual treasures fused, it destined the Heavenly Dao in this world to only have over forty Saint Positions.
In other words, when the Heavenly Dao was formed initially, over forty things like spiritual treasures rushing into flames became the highest rule of the Saint Position within the Heavenly Dao,
so if the Domain Realm Saint Position has a set number, every Saint’s seat actually corresponds to those spiritual treasures when the heavens and earth were first opened.
One piece corresponding to one Saint Position.
Just like... company shareholder seats?
But after the initial-formed Domain Realm Heavenly Dao with over forty pieces of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures... there were still Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures left behind.
Such as this Beautiful Glow.
But those Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures that were not fused into the Heavenly Dao are what East Sea refers to as without life, luck, or fate.
If one wishes to have a Life Chart, luck, and fate, it must be integrated into the Heavenly Dao to possess these.
And once an additional Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure integrates into the Heavenly Dao, it’s the equivalent of...
Chen Yan’s heart suddenly jumped!
Saint Position +1??
·
"In the beginning, it was unknown which Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure first awakened into a cluster of initial consciousness. Then one by one many awakened as new consciousnesses.
These consciousnesses devoured each other and fused, forming, at last, a great consciousness, the present Heavenly Dao.
But the existence of the senior is an extremely rare one—nowadays it’s nearly impossible to find an ancient Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure that hasn’t fused into the Heavenly Dao. But if found..."
Chen Yan sighed, slowly said: "You can say, what do you want?"
East Sea’s facial features scrunched up together, evidently excited, but speaking hoarsely: "Dare not conceal from the senior... however you want to develop a Life Chart, luck, fate, these things, it’s necessary to integrate into the Heavenly Dao, but now, it’s not when the heavens were first opened—back then it was enough to form a consciousness, devour others, or wait to be devoured.
But the world is stable now, the Heavenly Dao is complete and stable, won’t easily devour or integrate new things anymore, so..."
Chen Yan sneered: "Do you have a method for letting me integrate into the Heavenly Dao?"
"...Exactly." East Sea’s eyes glowed, though still trying to maintain restraint and respect, but the corners of his mouth still couldn’t help but rise a bit: "I can provide this method, but... thinking about what I want..."
