Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 505 Repelling Swords and Swallowing Swords to Enter the Dragon Court Realm!
[The five types of primordial Qi, which you have gathered and refined from the heavens and earth, circulate endlessly within your dantian.]

You can't help but feel a sense of admiration for the predecessor who created the "Taiyuan Yiyang Sword".

Although this senior has never personally experienced these primordial energies like you have, he has deduced these profound mysteries using real-world examples through his keen insight into the universe.

Six thousand years ago, before the four continents were united, what immense power could have brought them closer together?

Everyone says it's the will of Heaven, a predetermined fate. But that senior felt such an explanation was too vague!

He also discovered that the four seasons change year after year; what secrets lie behind this?

[Therefore, he devoted his life to revising the calendar, revising the hours, months, and years, ultimately creating the monumental work, the Taiyan Calendar.]

[Through this calendar, he was able to observe the changing patterns of these mysterious Qi entities in the universe:]

At the northern and southern poles, the power of "primordial magnetism" is most pronounced and most easily perceived by cultivators.

The fluctuations of "exhausted energy" are most pronounced during the last two days of each summer's transition from summer to autumn.

[Around the summer solstice, during the midst of thunderstorms, is the time when the "cosmic light" energy is most active in the southern wilderness.]

[I have traversed the entire universe, spanning the four continents, working tirelessly day and night, to finally complete this "Taiyuan Yiyang Sword".]

"Yuan" refers to the primordial origin; "Shi" refers to the beginning of creation.

"Primordial Beginning," or Unity, represents the state before chaos and division, the primordial state before separation; it is truly the root of the Great Dao and the origin of all laws.

[Taiyuan is the mother of the primordial beginning, containing the primordial Qi and the profound mysteries of creation.]

"One" is the origin of the Dao, and "Yang" is the central pivot of the Five Elements. The author takes "Yang" as the guiding principle, thus grasping the ultimate truth of Heaven and Earth.

[It's just unknown whether this person is from Xiaoqingfeng or the founder of Fangcun Mountain.]

[You can see at the end that this person's name is—Dixiang.]

[It does have a distinctly classical feel to it.]

[Without hesitation, you cultivate according to the law, and the Five Fiend Qi blends seamlessly, becoming one, condensing into a point of white light in your chest, which is the root of the "Sword of Repulsion".]

In an instant—

A supreme sword intent, surpassing all things, erupted suddenly, instantly enveloping the entire spirit garden.

[Nian Wubei suddenly stood up from the recliner, a look of horror appearing on his face, and exclaimed:]

"Taiyuan Rebuke Sword?! This...this is clearly the Taiyuan One Yang Sword!"

"But...how is this possible!"

[Your fingertips trembled slightly, and that primordial white light flickered, causing the surrounding space to distort and collapse.]

【"boom--"】

The stone wall of the cemetery collapsed with a deafening roar, turning into rubble under the terrifying repulsive force.

The entire mountainside trembled, and the spirit bamboo planted nearby burst open one after another, sending bamboo dust flying like snowflakes.

[You toss the white dot in your hand lightly, and in the blink of an eye, it appears above Little Green Peak.]

[The mountain rocks shattered, and a pure white dot appeared in the sky, moving at breakneck speed, impossible to catch, rapidly absorbing spiritual energy and growing stronger.]

In an instant—

The mountains trembled, and the sea of ​​clouds surged backward!

The white dot swelled in the wind, transforming into a white hole in the sky.

[Years passed without sorrow, hair and beard grew long, and the resolve to follow the Way was almost lost.]

"The sword has materialized?! This...!"

He also knew this sword technique, but he had never seen sword intent leave the body to form a domain, like the majestic might of heaven enveloping everything!

The entire Xiaoqingfeng Peak erupted in cheers.

Countless disciples looked up at the sky, only to see a white hole swirling in the heavens, as if the Dao itself had opened its eyes. Spiritual beasts in the mountains cried out in despair and lay dormant; ancient pines were bent low, and tens of thousands of Moon Shadow Bamboo groves on the back mountain had been crushed.

Two stunning rainbows appeared behind Xiaoqingfeng Mountain.

Nie Qingzhu stood suspended in mid-air, gazing at the white hole, her voice filled with doubt, "...Is this the 'Taiyuan Yiyang Sword'?"

[The woman in white's beautiful eyes showed surprise.]

[In the mortuary!]

[You open your eyes again, five types of Qi swirling in your hands, instantly creating tens of thousands of repeating combinations, then converging into a black dot, and an aura that devours all things appears.]

The old man was utterly horrified. "This is... the Taiyuan Sword Devouring Technique!"

[His eyes widened in disbelief. This was the "Sword Swallowing" technique, which he hadn't mastered even after two cycles of sixty years of cultivation, and you'd already mastered it in just half a day.]

With a flick of your wrist, a black dot appeared at lightning speed above Xiaoqing Peak, devouring the surrounding spiritual energy and forming a black hole in just a few breaths.

[Like a gluttonous beast opening its mouth to frantically devour spiritual energy, it instantly swallowed up everything within a hundred miles.]

A sudden gust of wind arose, causing the spirit bamboo on Little Green Peak to be blown about wildly.

The disciples felt as if the area had been instantly transformed into a vacuum.

[Not just the air, but all matter felt suffocated.]

The moon in the sky was dim, and only two holes, one black and one white, remained suspended in the air, rotating in the sky.

[After a few more breaths, the two caves expanded again, covering more than Xiaoqing Peak, and began to spread to the rest of Fangcun Mountain.]

Du Yu, who was in seclusion on the back mountain of Xiaoqing Peak practicing his sword, was also unable to meditate and cultivate. This sword fanatic was the direct disciple of the peak master.

[After he felt everything around him being pulled away, a repulsive force began to appear. If he hadn't already reached the Heavenly Gate Realm, he would have been unable to withstand it and would have collapsed to his knees.]

[The group of spirit beasts in the bamboo forest were all cowering and crawling on the ground in fear. A white-browed, fierce tiger with piercing eyes even let out a puppy-like whimper, its golden eyes reflecting the black and white vortex that devoured the heavens and earth—]

The entire land trembled!

The surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed into the black hole of "Taiyuan Swallowing Sword," and then transformed into the purest innate spiritual energy within the white hole of "Taiyuan Repelling Sword," strangely appearing within your dantian.

This situation is beyond your imagination!

[You have continuously used the "True Explanation of Primordial Qi" to seal your spiritual apertures for the 40th, 42nd, 45th... up to the 99th time.]

[This book, "The True Explanation of Primordial Qi," was not a truly supreme martial art, and given the sheer volume of spiritual energy it absorbed, it eventually became uncontrollable.]

The Heavenly Gate Realm requires refining the five elements within the chest and condensing the three flowers above the head.

[Those at the Dao Embryo realm can live for four hundred years; upon crossing the Heavenly Gate, they gain an additional two hundred years.]

Above the Heavenly Gate lies the Dragon Court; knocking on the Heavenly Gate grants one a lifespan of eight hundred years.

[The Taiyi Five Elements Luo you just crafted has transformed into a chaotic mist that envelops you, within which faint sounds of grand bells and drums can be heard.]

[Suddenly, three golden lotuses bloom above your head, and the five elements condense into a magnificent canopy within your chest.]

If not now, when?

[Inside the Spirit Garden, an old man of all ages stood there, his hair and beard bristling. You couldn't see him clearly because he was obscured by clouds, but you sensed that he possessed the cultivation of the Heavenly Gate Realm, and moreover...]

"Knock three times at the Heavenly Gate, attain the Dao and ascend to the Dragon Court, the Dao Bell tolls eternally... Shall we break through to the Dragon Court?"

"How is this possible?!"

The Dragon Court Realm involves gathering and exhaling Qi to condense the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth, completely opening up the inner and outer worlds.

The true meaning of "Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me."

Without any hesitation, you instantly broke through to the Dragon Court, and then the entire text of the "True Explanation of Primordial Qi" flowed through your mind. With lightning speed, you created a Qi-gathering technique suitable for yourself from scratch.

[Instantly, the aura of the Dragon Court Realm was sealed again, and the aura around his body receded like the tide, finally settling at the mid-stage of Body Shaping.]

[Snap!] [With a crisp snap of fingers, the black and white double holes that enveloped the sky and earth began to shrink.]

[A moment later!]

The swords repelling and swallowing effects of the black hole and white hole vanished instantly.

[You dispersed the "Taiyi Five Elements Luo" and looked at the Spirit Garden, which was already in a state of utter ruin.]

Only a stunned old man remained, standing bewildered in the wind.

[And the surging primordial spirits, in the instant the Taiyuan Yiyang Sword vanished, all sensed this place.]

[Dozens of powerful primordial spirits were blocked by an unparalleled sword intent the instant they touched Little Green Peak.]

You knew in your heart, "It was that peak master who made the move."

A profound aura from Fangcun Mountain arrived at breakneck speed.

At that moment, you exclaimed, "Old age."

Your soft call finally startled the old man, who seemed to be in a dream.

[The old man understands what you mean, and having witnessed this earth-shattering tremor that nearly shook Little Green Peak, he still can't believe it came from the boy before him!]

Without hesitation, his previously hunched back straightened, and his aura of decline rose steadily, propelling him directly from the mid-stage of the Heavenly Gate realm... to the Dragon Court realm, his oppressive aura sweeping across thousands of mountains like a tidal wave.

As the old man rose into the air, a pure white sword light burst forth from his fingertips. Though it lacked the overwhelming power you had just unleashed, the repulsive ripples surrounding his body were clearly from the "Taiyuan Yiyang Sword."

A voice rang out, "Fellow Daoists, please return."

A figure in cyan robes appeared halfway up the mountain in the spirit garden; it was none other than "Nie Qingzhu."

"Senior Brother Nian..."

[Nie Qingzhu's voice choked with emotion. Seeing the old man's aged face, she realized that even at the Dao Embryo realm, one's appearance remained unchanged. She couldn't believe that her senior brother, who had already reached the Dragon Court realm, had become so frail and old.]

If that tragedy hadn't happened back then, with Senior Brother Nian's talent, he might have already advanced to the Golden Core realm.

[Nian Wubei's hoarse voice interrupted her thoughts.]

The old man casually waved his hand, seemingly still carrying the lingering spiritual energy from his breakthrough.

"I pulled a muscle while practicing swordsmanship, but it's nothing serious, you may disperse."

Nie Qingzhu asked excitedly, "Senior Brother Nian, your cultivation... you still managed to neutralize that sword intent."

【"Um."】

Nian Wubei gave a vague reply, then put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky.

Nie Qingzhu couldn't hide her joy. Not only had Senior Brother Nian escaped his impending doom, but he had also brought a Dragon Court Realm cultivator to Little Green Peak.

Moreover, Senior Brother Nian's killing power is so great that he ranks among the top three among the cultivators of the Dragon Court of Fangcun Mountain.

Now, Little Green Peak only has its peak master, who alone cannot support the entire mountain, but this gives him an extra source of confidence.

Nian Wubei said, "Little Nie, there's no need to disturb the Peak Master. The old man can handle this himself."

[Nie Qingzhu nodded, her gaze shifting slightly, and she suddenly caught sight of you standing amidst the ruins of the Spirit Garden. Her slender eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.]

The old man waved his hand, and Nie Qingzhu understood and left.

Immediately afterwards, a voice transmission imbued with the pressure of a Great Dao Golden Core cultivator reverberated throughout the entire mountain.

"Young disciples of Qingfeng, each go about your own business."

"This is due to the elders' sword practice on the peak; there is no need to panic."

The sound waves, as tangible as real water, pushed aside the sea of ​​clouds, forcing back all the probing divine senses.

Several powerful auras lingered reluctantly in the distance for a moment before finally dissipating.

[Nian Wubei glanced up at the white-clad woman hidden in the clouds in the distance, finally sighed, and returned to the courtyard.]

[The moment he stepped onto the ground, a cheerful voice rang out.]

"Congratulations, Elder Nian, on your further advancement in cultivation and your rebirth."

【"fart!"】

[Nian Wubei was immediately furious. "It's all your fault, you brat! I have to clean up your mess and be your shield. Now the garden is ruined too!"]

Then, he looked you up and down with a look of surprise and doubt, "Young Jing, you... you really mastered it?"

The old man himself spent so much time, effort, and sacrifice to finally earn the "sword of rebuke," which then appeared so effortlessly on someone else.

[This is simply unacceptable!]

Even with the facts laid bare before him, he still couldn't believe it.

Seeing you nod in confirmation, the old man's face showed relief, and he didn't ask any more questions.

This is quite unexpected; the words I had prepared in my mind have become superfluous.

The old man seemed to sense your confusion, then suddenly smiled and said, "In this world, fate is truly predetermined; every sip and every bite is dictated."

He looked at you and said, "Back then, your grandfather, Junior Brother Zhou, did us a great favor. Four years ago, he came to visit us under the dead of night, standing right under this old pine tree."

He said the Zhou family produced a peerless gem, but unfortunately... he shouldn't have been born into such a small family.

"But I was already on my last legs, so I refused. Besides... this Little Green Peak may seem calm, but it's actually turbulent beneath the surface and far from peaceful."

"I never imagined that four years later, you would still become a disciple of Xiao Qingfeng."

The old man gazed at you with a distant look and said, "Therefore, I say that there is a divine will governing everything."

Although you had heard your grandfather mention a past connection with an elder from Fangcun Mountain, you never imagined it would be the old man before you, with such a karmic connection.

No wonder the old man wasn't surprised when you first used the "Gengjin Sword," and even covered for you.

As for Aomine, you must have sensed it long ago; beneath the calm surface, there were turbulent waves.

"Young Jing, how long will it take for that sword intent to reappear? What is your true cultivation level now?"

After thinking for a moment, you said without blinking, "It will take at least three months, and it can only be used under specific circumstances."

"Currently, I'm at the mid-stage of the Dao Embryo realm."

The old man nodded slightly upon hearing this, but still harbored doubts. The fleeting aura of the Dragon Court must have been due to the profound mysteries of the *Taiyuan Yiyang Sword*.

[Nian Wubei said in a deep voice, "Don't tell anyone that you've mastered this sword technique. Little Green Peak isn't a monolithic entity."]

"Countless eyes on Fangcun Mountain are watching Xiaoqing Peak."

"The old man was arrogant back then, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up in such a state."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind; a person who excels above others will be criticized by the masses."

"While these old bones can still hold on for a few more years, and can still protect you for a few more years."

[You gaze thoughtfully at the aged, frail body; it seems this sword intent is not insurmountable!]

You changed the subject, asking, "Old man, who was this senior from the Imperial Township who created the 'Taiyuan Yiyang Sword'?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then said, "This involves another little-known story from Fangcun Mountain."

The old man uttered a shocked statement.

"Like the previous peak master, the Ancestor of the Imperial Hometown suffered a qi deviation and slaughtered the entire Fangcun Mountain."

"The Ancestor of the Imperial Hometown also had a younger brother, who was the sect leader of Fangcun Mountain three generations ago."
