After acquiring resources and verifying their own Great Dao through the Shocking God Sonata, both of them easily transformed their Nascent Soul, sublimating it into their own unique Soul Dharma Aspect.
Chen Mobai did not disturb the two as they were in seclusion consolidating their realm and came to the front of Yuan Xuâs house.
He could sense that Yuan Xu was not circulating power.
However, he also did not come out, and the door remained tightly shut.
Chen Mobai took out his phone and sent a text message to Yuan Xu. In no time, a silver light flashed, and Yuan Xu teleported to him.
Compared to before, when he was a bit unkempt but generally clean and tidy, Yuan Xu now seemed very sloppy, but what shocked Chen Mobai was that the bald Yuan Xu had grown thick black hair.
"Greetings, True Monarch!"
Yuan Xu saw Chen Mobai and instinctively paid respect.
At this moment, he noticed Chen Mobai staring at his head in surprise, which reminded him of something, making him somewhat flustered as he reached up to cover it, trying to hide it.
"I heard you failed at Divinity Transformation, so I thought Iâd come over to comfort you. Letâs talk inside."
Chen Mobai felt puzzled inside, but outwardly he remained calm.
Speaking between, he was already led into the house by Yuan Xu, which was very simple inside, with only a cushion and a large table filled with papers covered in writings scattered across the floor.
Chen Mobai glanced and found that they were all about the deduction of the path to Divinity Transformation.
"Please pardon my inadequacy, sigh!"
Yuan Xu made a chair out of dirt for Chen Mobai to sit and then poured a cup of plain water to hand over, with a face full of worry.
"At which point did you fail?"
Chen Mobai couldnât help but ask, knowing that among the three people attempting Divinity Transformation, many thought Yuan Xu was the most likely to succeed.
"If it were Yuheng True Monarch, I would definitely not say, but to you, I feel I can speak, moreover itâs already exposed..."
Yuan Xu sighed and began to explain why he failed at Divinity Transformation.
He pointed to his head.
"At the moment my Nascent Soul was transforming into the Primordial Spirit, I was suddenly pulled into the depths of the Earth Element Starâs demonic thoughts and saw a constantly rotating great mill..."
Hearing this, Chen Mobai couldnât help but be shocked.
Apocalypse Great Mill!?
So, Yuan Xu also saw it!
And at that moment, the thick black hair atop Yuan Xuâs head suddenly turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared, reverting back to his original bald head.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai was even more astonished, as he could confirm that Yuan Xuâs hair was real just a moment ago, but now vanishedâisnât that saying that even his Divine Sense at the Spirit Transformation Stage was deceived?
"One side of the great mill lit up, transforming into a Mirage Dragon that merged into my Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, and I also received a method named Nascent Mirage Demon. When practiced to the extreme, one can grasp the Illusory Great Dao..."
"Because of this accident, my transforming Primordial Spirit halted, ultimately leading to a breakthrough failure. I dared not speak of this to Yuheng True Monarch; if Master were here, it would be better..."
"My hair also came about because I curiously tried out the Nascent Mirage Demon method, practicing fake into real..."
Yuan Xu sighed, thinking that since he had cooperated with Chen Mobai on many projects, fully knowing each other, and because the matter weighed heavily on his heart, risking another obsession, he decided to disclose the truth.
"Illusory Great Dao... Nascent Mirage Demon..."
After hearing it, Chen Mobai couldnât help but murmur.
In the past, Qian Xing spoke to him, indicating that the Illusory Great Dao was indeed the direction heâd been striving towards, but ultimately failed.
Could it be that Qian Xingâs practice of the Illusory Great Dao was also derived from the Apocalypse Great Mill?
Thinking of this, Chen Mobai immediately asked Yuan Xu if Qian Xing had ever taught him any special methods, questioning if this was what led Yuan Xu to be drawn into the demonic thoughts at the core of the Earth Element Star during Divinity Transformation.
"Many, but I donât think it has anything to do with Master, right?"
Yuan Xu believed that Qian Xing would not harm him, incapable of teaching him Demonic Cultivation Techniques.
"Itâs not about causing you harm, just that in such a situation on the Earth Element Star, as long as one can undergo Divinity Transformation, it doesnât matter if itâs of the Righteous Path or Demon Path, itâs a good method..."
Chen Mobai spoke, as this was the prevalent thought among the upper echelons of the Immortal Gate. After all, at the Nascent Soul Realm, most people cultivate a Forbidden Technique in tandem, and as long as it wasnât used to harm nature and reason, a Forbidden Technique was also considered the Righteous Path.
But it would be best to investigate to ensure that when Yuan Xu attempts Divinity Transformation again, such a surprise doesnât happen again.
"Then Iâll tell you, and you can evaluate them!"
Yuan Xu immediately nodded, informing Chen Mobai of everything Qian Xing taught him that he deemed related to the Illusory Great Dao.
"Did you practice Demonic Cultivation?"
After listening, Chen Mobai pointed to Yuan Xuâs bald head. Earlier, he practiced fake into real with Demonic Cultivation, turning illusion into reality; evidently, he had already made considerable progress on this path.
"You know, as a researcher, my curiosity is strong, but I merely researched the methods on the surface, not yet officially converting it into cultivation."
Yuan Xu spoke the truth, but since he started researching, if thereâs still no way to undergo Divinity Transformation at the end of his lifespan, heâd likely end up like Lin Daoming, stepping into the Demon Path.
Chen Mobai didnât say much else, continuing to inquire about the method of the Nascent Mirage Demon.
Practicing it requires using the power of Divine Sense to construct an illusory world in oneâs heart, then gradually turning it into reality. At the point of Harmonization, the illusory world becomes real; if one could go further, it would be akin to Creation!
