From Celestial Official to Great Celestial Venerable

Chapter 68 Beast
“No, that’s not the case.” Yuan Siyao immediately shook her head. “Absorbing chaotic primordial energy and transforming it into spiritual energy are two completely different paths. Although I don’t know the principles of the Daoist arts inside this ship, Perfect World certainly hasn’t yet cracked the secrets of the chaotic spiritual source. Otherwise, they would have already unified all the heavens—the significance symbolized by the chaotic spiritual source is far too great.”

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful glint appeared in Qin Chuan's eyes.

The two chatted casually, during which Yuan Siyao showed great interest in the Taoist arts that Qin Chuan possessed.

Listening to Qin Chuan recount his experiences in agricultural cultivation and healing, although she couldn't fully grasp it, she was convinced that Qin Chuan had indeed earned this spot through genuine talent and learning.

Prejudice between people can sometimes be completely resolved with just a few sincere words of communication.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, a warning came from inside the boat:

"Fellow Daoists, the Ship of Creation is about to depart from the Eastern Victory World Dao Domain and enter the Chaos Sea. There will be some turbulence at that time, please do not panic."

We are about to enter chaos.

Qin Chuan and Yuan Siyao turned around at the same time, only to see that Dong Sheng Tian Xia behind them had transformed into a chicken-shaped nebula, slowly rotating in the void.

boom!
As the Creation Ship trembled violently, Qin Chuan looked up and saw layers of the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars appearing on the Tai Xu Hun Tian Array, as if the flying ship was covered with a thin film of the world.

The next moment, the Creation Ship sailed into a gray void sea that had no up or down, no four directions, and was completely chaotic and empty.

"This is the Chaos Sea!" Yuan Siyao exclaimed excitedly.

Qin Chuan stared ahead at a void that swallowed everything, as if it were the end of all things, an ultimate emptiness.

Rumble!
As expected, the Ship of Creation began to rock, its hull assaulted by an endless gray current.

However, Qin Chuan keenly noticed that after those air currents touched the thin membrane of the world outside the Taixu Hun Tian Formation, they slid away like oil meeting water.

"This must be what's called the 'Mimetic Shell of All Realms,'" Qin Chuan thought to himself. "It sounds like a grand array that simulates the formation of a thin membrane of the world, allowing the Ship of Creation to function as a complete world within the chaos, unaffected by the chaotic air currents."

He was deeply impressed by this exquisite Taoist technique—it clearly involved the fundamental laws governing the formation of the world.

The Creation Ship continued its journey in a certain direction within the Chaos Sea, maintaining a clear course even in the Chaos Sea where there are no directions.

Qin Chuan guessed that this must be related to the "Myriad Realms Dao Marker" again.

Too advanced to understand.

For three whole days, without any landmarks, it was impossible to judge the speed of the Creation Ship. All they knew was that about half a day later, Qin Chuan and the others saw the outline of a small island-like world appear in the chaotic sea to the left of the Creation Ship, with the sun, moon, and stars orbiting around it.

"That world is..." Qin Chuan tried hard to recall the records of the myriad worlds.

"That is the realm of beasts." Yuan Siyao gazed in that direction, a clear hostility flashing in her eyes, and said coldly, "All the beings there are beasts. During the Longhan era, that place was originally one of the six paths of reincarnation in my Dongsheng, which regarded Dongsheng as the Heavenly Path of the Six Paths. However, it rebelled during the Kaihuang era and later became the culprit of the Yankang Great Calamity, one of the four tribulations of the Daoist Heavenly Venerables."

She paused, her tone laced with chilling killing intent: "Just wait. When my Eastern Victory returns to the top of the Six Paths and ascends to the ranks of the foremost forests of the heavens, the first thing I will do is annihilate these beasts!"

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes and immediately searched his memories of the Daoist scriptures for records about the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Animal Path, and the Four Tribulations of the Daoist Path at the Beginning of Heaven.

He couldn't help but take a second look at Yuan Siyao—he never expected that this seemingly gentle woman could utter such domineering words as, "The first thing Dongsheng will do when it ascends to the first forest of all heavens is to destroy the animal realm."

Instantly, Qin Chuan's goodwill towards this woman increased significantly.

As if sensing the change in Qin Chuan's gaze, Yuan Siyao turned her head away awkwardly, but still muttered to herself:
"I truly believe this, and I will definitely do it if the opportunity arises in the future. Once the status of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is restored, it will be extremely important for our regional advantage in the Chaos Sea."

"I am confident that Dongsheng will rise in our generation, so..." Qin Chuan said, looking at the Beast Path World that had disappeared into the chaos.
"In the future, it might really be our generation that will personally destroy the animal realm."

Yuan Siyao nodded repeatedly: "That's right."

If Yuan Siyao had only overcome her prejudice against Qin Chuan before, after this in-depth conversation, she now felt that the two had truly become friends.

The ship of creation sails steadily through the chaos.

Although many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators on board were already capable of abstaining from grains, the maids on the flying ship still thoughtfully prepared three meals a day for each passenger. Qin Chuan savored the spiritual rice in his bowl, inwardly marveling:
"Perfect World is truly generous. I've only tasted this kind of spiritual rice twice in the Spiritual Cuisine Workshop, yet it has become an ordinary meal on this Ship of Creation."

On second thought, a ticket for this interdimensional flying boat is worth over a thousand spirit coins, so pairing it with a few spiritual meals isn't too much to ask.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, many highly skilled practitioners began to meditate and enter a state of deep concentration to pass the time. Even Yuan Siyao closed her eyes to rest.

Qin Chuan dared not slack off in the slightest, refining the "Chaos Returning to the Void" formation beneath him day and night.

Sudden--

boom!
The ship of creation began to rock violently.

Yuan Siyao immediately opened her eyes and asked Qin Chuan, "Did we encounter chaotic energy again?"

Qin Chuan looked up, about to agree, but suddenly realized something was wrong—he had already grasped the basics of spatial manipulation and instantly sensed that the space around the boat was violently shaking.

"Something's not right!" His expression changed drastically.

The next moment, something forcefully tore a gap in the "all-worlds mimicry shell" that was protecting the flying ship.

At the edge of the horizon, there was another enormous flying ship floating in the chaos.

Even more alarming, countless bizarre, chaotic creatures were pouring out of the airship, pouncing on the Creation Ship like hungry wolves!

"Enemy attack! The airship is under attack!!"

Qin Chuan's shout was like a thunderclap.

The many senior experts, including True Person Xuanji and Master Guyuan, who were meditating, who had initially thought it was just ordinary airflow, suddenly opened their eyes and stared incredulously at the outside of the flying boat—

Those gray monsters, like swimming fish, are frantically tearing at the Mimicry Shell of All Realms!

"what?"

Their first reaction was disbelief.

Leaving aside the sheer audacity required to attack the Creation Ship of Perfect World, the fact that this ship also carried an official exchange delegation from the Eastern Heavenly Court—what force dares to offend two great worlds at the same time?!

"It's the 'Myth' organization!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from inside the airship:
"The people of 'Myth' have infiltrated the Ship of Creation! Fellow Daoists of Dongsheng, please immediately prepare to join forces with us to defend against the enemy!"
