Chapter 1718: 782: Dao Light (2)
The two were startled, shaking their heads in disbelief.
Chen Shi inspected closely and said, “There are twelve empty husks, twelve grains of rice missing, probably taken by the Immortal Emperor or The Three Pure Ones, Teacher, and others.”
The three of them moved closer, and a strange scene unfolded; as they approached, the Green Rice remained unchanged, but the Chantilo Clan sitting beneath it gradually grew larger.
Gradually, the seated figure of the Chantilo Clan surpassed the height of the Green Rice.
As they got closer to the Green Rice, the body of the Chantilo Clan quickly reached a height of a thousand zhang, and moving closer still, it became ten thousand zhang tall!
When Chen Shi, Qing Yang, and Huan Shu arrived under the Green Rice, they found that the body of the Chantilo Clan had grown so large that its true form was no longer visible to the naked eye.
The billowing hem of the Chantilo Clan’s garment swayed like the aurora at the edge of the world.
His body was so vast that with all their might they could only glimpse a corner of it.
As the hem fluttered, intricate textures and patterns could be seen, so detailed it was unimaginable.
As they moved closer, the Chantilo Clan became even more gigantic, beyond their comprehension. And the hem they observed continued to grow, revealing more details, with patterns and textures becoming even more dense.
“What kind of physical body is this?”
The three of them were deeply amazed, the Chantilo Clan sitting here had reached an incredible level of strength, a level so high that even Chen Shi today was still far from achieving it!
Chen Shi continued to approach the Chantilo Clan, wanting to see how vast this person’s physical body could become.
As he moved forward, the patterns on the hem became more complex, but as he continued, the patterns no longer revealed more details, only showing basic structures.
This garment was constructed from Dark Sea Dao Pattern, materializing into reality.
In other words, the Chantilo Clan’s garment was composed of Great Dao Laws!
Chen Shi stopped and looked at the swaying hem of the garment, like a heavenly curtain hanging down, remaining silent for a long moment.
Above their heads, brilliant divine light shone down. Qing Yang and Huan Shu looked up, but saw no light source.
Yet they clearly saw the divine light, shining upon them, but where did the light come from?
“This light is the Chantilo Clan’s Dao Light, thus it is omnipresent.”
Chen Shi reminded them, “Earlier, we saw light near the Green Rice from afar; it must be this Dao Light.”
Back then, from afar, the Green Rice and the Chantilo Clan appeared quite normal, but upon approaching, this transformation occurred unexpectedly.
Qing Yang and Huan Shu uttered a soft ‘eh’ in surprise, their gaze falling upon Chen Shi, unable to look away for a long time.
Chen Shi was surprised too, looking down, he couldn’t help but be moved.
His body was penetrated by the Dao Light, everything inside was illuminated clearly as if clothing, skin, and flesh didn’t exist at all, leaving only the dense patterns of the Primordial Talisman.
In this Dao Light, he had no secrets at all!
Qing Yang and Huan Shu were even more startled; they couldn’t see Chen Shi’s body; it was as if he had vanished. They could only see a complete world floating where Chen Shi was, with rivers, lakes, the sun, moon, and stars, mountains and plants; everything was there!
Even the changing weather, thunder and lightning, rain, and fog!
And the withering and flourishing of vegetation, the fall breeze and withered leaves, the fragrance of fruits filling the mountains.
Also, the ice, snow, frost, withered vines, and the evening crow, Han Shan fishing.
That world was vast and grand, yet confined to a small space, manifesting the wonders of Daoist Skill!
Qing Yang quickly glanced at Huan Shu, but what he saw was not Huan Shu, but a Daoist Field woven from Immortal Dao Dao Pattern, forming a Dao Pattern halo behind the Primordial Spirit.
Nothing else could be seen.
No physical body of Huan Shu, nor her Primordial Spirit.
The Daoist Field wasn’t large, only a few mu in area, composed of Dao Patterns connected together forming different Dao Images, yet it was vastly inferior to Chen Shi’s inner world!
Chen Shi’s inner world spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, complete with the sun and moon.
Huan Shu had only a few simple Dao Images.
When Huan Shu looked at Qing Yang, she saw no better; similarly, a halo swirled behind his Primordial Spirit, and the halo held a small Daoist Field of a few acres.
Apart from that, there was nothing else for the two.
Their garments seemed to disappear as well, their physical bodies turned to void, leaving only Immortal Dao Dao Pattern.
Chen Shi glanced them over, then stopped, lowered his head to observe himself, and looked at the garment of the Chantilo Clan, lost in thought.
“Immortal Dao, Immortal Dao! In the end, it’s all in vain. Haha, I cultivated wrongly, I cultivated wrongly, The Three Pure Ones also cultivated wrongly! We all cultivated wrongly! Hahaha!”
He abruptly laughed, his voice filled with sorrow.
This strong figure of the Chantilo Clan reflected them using his own Daoist Practice, and anything not illuminated was due to insufficient or shallow Daoist Practice.
Under such reflection, the Immortal Dao seemed quite ludicrous, causing Chen Shi to laugh uncontrollably, with a mocking and self-mocking tone in his laughter.
He mocked the Immortal Dao and mocked himself.
“An immortal achieves Harmonization of Heaven and Earth, cultivates Dao Realm, achieves powerful cultivation, and reflects All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. So mighty! The orthodox Immortal Dao! Yet, in front of the Chantilo Clan, there is no Dao Realm, no physical body, no Primordial Spirit, nothing at all, merely a small Daoist Field remains!”
Chen Shi laughed heartily, laughing to the point of tears nearly falling, “Reaching the end of Cultivation Immortality, it’s like drawing water with a bamboo basket, left with nothing! The so-called Primordial Talisman is but so so, cultivating according to Dao Realm, no physical body remains, no strong Primordial Spirit, and even with a Dao Realm inside, it’s all for naught! All for naught!”
