Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 825 - 532: Beholding Chaos! Comprehending True Skill!

"After the 'Heavenly Calamity', the 'Beast Tide' still persists, countless alien beasts continue to relentlessly attack the cities, feeding on humans."

"This is the most difficult time, we cannot see the future, unaware of when the 'Beast Tide' will cease. All we can do is retract our defense lines; only by striking back fiercely can we cause pain."

"Everyone, let us overcome these difficulties together, weather the storm side by side, united, we can certainly overcome any challenges."

"Next, I will announce some appointments—"

In Tan Valley Realm, as City Lord, Yan Chuan conducts disaster mobilization and announces the new high-level appointments for Tan Valley Realm—

"Appointing Chen Ze as the City Lord of 'Yong Mountain City', fully responsible for the population migration work in the four cities of the Yong Mountain region, with Duke Zhuyu and Jiang Bianliu as Deputy City Lords."

"Appointing Tan Yunqing as the City Lord of 'Guangming City', fully responsible for the population migration work in the three cities of the Guangming region, with Beihu and Huang Wuniang as Deputy City Lords."

"Appointing Sheng Xuan as the City Lord of 'Mengsha City', fully responsible for the population migration work in the two cities of the Mengsha region, with Pang Yi, Jiayun, and Wan Jiu as Deputy City Lords."

Among the three Guard City Lords, Yong Mountain and Guangming are both familiar individuals, but for Mengsha City, Yan Chuan was forced to use Sheng Xuan, who is the only remaining respectable new face among the original three city lords.

Although Yan Chuan seems to have quite a few Innate talents, totaling more than ten, almost all of them are newly Proving Dao, with the strongest Jiang Bianliu and Huang Wuniang only at First-Rank Peak strength. While they could be forced to take on the role of City Lords, this would be feasible only in peaceful times; before the 'Beast Tide', a weak City Lord can be deadly, failing to hold both the inside and outside of the city, leading to a path of death.

Regrettably, there are no capable individuals for use!

Fortunately, at present, there are only three Guard Cities. Including Sheng Xuan, the arrangements can barely be made. Once the Fourth Guard City is constructed, at that time, Yan Chuan should be able to add several Second and Third-Rank Divine Generals. If it's still not sufficient, Wang Zhengyi might need to be invited to emerge.

Currently, within Tan Valley Realm—

Third and Fourth rank, a general is hard to find.

But there are plenty of First and Second-Rank Divine Generals, with over ten from Yan Chuan's side alone. Adding up Yong Mountain, Guangming, and Mengsha, there are already 33 collectively.

Adding other cities within Tan Valley Realm, like 'Ghost Axe' Shijiu from Zongyang City, 'Meteor' Panjiang, and other low-rank Divine Generals from fourteen cities totals 38.

In addition, there are 11 Innate Divine Generals scattered in mountains like 'Iron Chain Mountain.'

Heavenly Calamity!

Beast Tide! 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Yan Chuan unified Tan Valley Realm, all Divine Generals within surrendered under the overwhelming pressure of him and Tan Yunqing.

Thus, there are 82 First and Second-Rank Divine Generals.

Excluding Chen Ze, Tan Yunqing, not counting those staying in Five Blessings City like Ding Xiang, Situ Fei, nor those in North Mansion like Lu Yuru, excluding the long-dormant Wang Zhengyi, Yan Chuan's side has eleven Innates, all at First-Rank, most of them even newly promoted.

Therefore—

"93 low-rank Divine Generals!"

"6 mid-rank Divine Generals!"

"Divine Generals!"

"Nearly a hundred!"

...

During 'Heavenly Calamity' and 'Beast Tide', Yan Chuan ingeniously integrated Tan Valley Realm with power and benevolence, conquering all Divine Generals within, resulting in nearly a hundred Divine Generals under his command. If Ding Xiang and Situ Fei return, plus Wang Zhengyi and Lu Yuru, they will surely surpass a hundred Divine Generals.

Tan Valley unification.

The momentum has formed.

But the prerequisite is to withstand wave after wave of subsequent 'Beast Tides'!

...

"Old Wang is still asleep."

Yan Chuan senses 'North Mansion', inside the stone room, Wang Zhengyi sleeps in peace, apparently, not long after the 'Heavenly Calamity', Wang Zhengyi told Yan Chuan that he would focus his energy on the two avatars, then fell asleep.

Yan Chuan did not feel strange at the time, as the 'Heavenly Calamity' overtook the Mo Yin Continent, though Wang Zhengyi's 'Monkey King Avatar' was stable in Nanxiong City, his 'Alligator Beast Avatar' was in Nanyue Lake, and the 'Ten Dragon Pond' might barely withstand heavenly and earth fire.

Yan Chuan assumed Wang Zhengyi was dealing with the situation regarding the 'Alligator Beast Avatar.'

However, now it seems—

"Old Wang's two avatars are also alien beasts. After the 'Heavenly Calamity', 'Beast Tide' ensues, perhaps both 'Monkey King Avatar' and 'Alligator Beast Avatar' are affected?"

Yan Chuan speculates.

Most likely.

It must be extremely urgent, otherwise Wang Zhengyi would not have fallen asleep and not awoken.

"What on earth happened?" While Yan Chuan worries for Wang Zhengyi, he's also curious, but this answer can only be revealed when Wang Zhengyi wakes up.

"So chaotic!"

Yan Chuan shook his head.

A 'Heavenly Calamity'.

Endless 'Beast Tide'.

Destroyed all his plans—

Million Projection Team plan.

Hundred thousand martial arts lecture plan.

Connections martial arts lecture fee plan.

Traveling ten thousand miles plan.

And the core 'Heavenly Ladder City Monthly Martial Arts Lecture' plan.

Each plan was either in full swing, with promising prospects, or was about to commence, with bright futures.

But now.

Ruined, broken.

The 'Million Projection Team Plan,' due to the integration of the Tan Valley Realm being in a critical need of manpower, all thirty thousand Tan Valley Army personnel are being recalled, including 500 'Scattering Flower Lamp' projection teams. This involves 500 Limit-breaking Martial Artists along with two thousand Limit Extreme Elite. These 500 projection teams are no small number.

Integrate three Guard Cities.

Rebuild the Tan Valley Royal City.

Sweep away the beast tide within the territory.

And so forth, the Tan Valley Realm is short on people, especially its own people, thirty thousand Tan Valley Army personnel, this is Yan Chuan's direct lineage, at this critical juncture, not a single one can be spared.

500 projection teams must be temporarily recalled.

Thankfully, only Yan Chuan's side is being withdrawn—

The court's 1000 projection teams continue, the court has occupied seven King Cities in the Mountain and Sea Realm, after years of management, it's already consolidated, the main forces within each King City Realm are significant, though they might not completely resist 'beast tide', if the current forces of each King City can't withstand it, then another 1000 projection teams with five thousand elite won't be of any help.

Therefore, under Yan Chuan's special request to emphasize, 1000 projection teams are still touring the Fifteen States of Great Yan for martial arts lectures, they haven't stopped.

Additionally, all sects have over fifteen hundred projection teams, these projection teams are almost entirely projecting within their own sects' King City realms, the 'Heavenly Calamity' descends, the 'beast tide' arrives, how can one give lectures!

Thus, Yan Chuan's 'Million Projection Team Plan' shrinks instantly from three thousand to one thousand.

Not advancing but retreating!

It's also quite a feat!

"Old Wang is asleep, even though the 'Heavenly Calamity' ends now, my 'Traveling Thousands of Miles' plan cannot proceed without the 'Soul Channel' as support."

Yan Chuan wishes to 'Travel Thousands of Miles', but also wants to look after the Tan Valley Realm here, previously he wanted to also take care of 'Heavenly Ladder City' in the Tan Valley Realm, for conducting martial arts lectures and making money, now it's for overseeing the Tan Valley Realm to resist the 'beast tide', and—

…

"This place!"

Yan Chuan stands at the original location of the Earth Gate in Tan Valley Royal City, after the 'Heavenly Calamity' descends and the 'Earth Gate' shatters, the 'Heavenly Ladder', 'Heavenly Ladder City', and 'Underground City World' within all break apart, now, vast chaos occupies hundred acres, filled with pitch-black flowing light and indescribable chaotic gloss, giving the most direct sense of—

Danger danger danger!

However, staring at the chaos for a long time, occasionally a blurry vision can be seen of the world's destruction, like Yan Chuan initially seemed to see the destruction of the [Twin City World].

Looking again now, all kinds flash by, during the destruction, it's as if countless messages flicker, bursting forth infinite mysteries, but Yan Chuan cannot comprehend or grasp them.

Clearly.

He lacks enough foundation.

Luckily he has the "Derivation Skill"—

"My life's Inner Strength began with the "Mixed Element Skill", then shifted to cultivating the "Purple Mist Divine Skill", later I cultivated the "Innate Skill" and the "Yijinjing", followed by the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" and the "Nine Yin Scripture"."

"In a continuous lineage."

"Constantly improving."

"Life arises from love, is felt through desire, yet falls into form, all things are squalid, intending to cultivate True Martial, obstacles move true like reflections, Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, limbs and body, all must be cleansed first, see pure and empty, then progress, enter True Martial Realm. I desire to create the "Washing Marrow Scripture", which purifies the squalid of Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs, limbs and body individually, named 'Washing Marrow', in reality 'shedding the mortal body'."

Shed the mortal body, witness True Martial.

This is a technique of the War God Realm, content of True Skill.

In the past, Yan Chuan painstakingly cultivated the "Nine Yang Divine Skill", then engaged with various other Inner Strength skills, constantly gaining inspiration through "Mutual Teaching and Learning", but accumulation was too slow.

This time.

Standing before this hundred acres of 'Chaos', Yan Chuan observes 'Chaos', inspiration strikes—

[You can receive corresponding inspiration from certain traces, items, or environments.]

Traces.

Environment.

The chaos before him is likely included, Yan Chuan gains inspiration from it: "When the weather is long foggy, it transforms into water soil wood, the wood grows to Kunlun's peak, reaching all, filling wells, sitting silently generates warm air, in water exist fire devices, damp heat steams, rains and dew fall, creates people and life, benefits the world, water long clarifies to soil, fire glistens through air, the west absorbs Geng Xin, forging unequalled gold, the human body is a miniature world, incomparable by any thing, possesses this transforming quality, always residual air, inherently without self, dissolves returning to Taixu, life never having lived, death never having died, what use retaining form, after life's end to heaven and earth, borrowing to integrate truth, transcending leaving the mundane count, comprehending the Washing Marrow Scripture, eternal life can be expected."

Yan Chuan observes chaos, sees Five Elements Transformation, Qiankun Destruction from yin and yang, the two forms.

A myriad of thoughts flood his mind, the "Washing Marrow Scripture" which never truly had clarity, finally comes to fruition—

""Washing Marrow Scripture" Innate Chapter First Form, "Nine Yang"!"

""Washing Marrow Scripture" Innate Chapter Second Form, "Yijin"!"

""Washing Marrow Scripture" Innate Chapter Third Form, "Innate"!"

""Washing Marrow Scripture" Innate Chapter Fourth Form, "Purple Mist"!"

""Washing Marrow Scripture" Innate Chapter Fifth Form, "Mixed Element"!"

Yan Chuan's early cultivation, from"Mixed Element Skill"to"Purple Mist Technique"to"Innate Skill"to"Yijinjing"finally to"Nine Yang Divine Skill".

Now the "Washing Marrow Scripture"Innate Chapter gained inspiration from the 'hundred acres of chaos'—

""Nine Yang","Yijin","Innate","Purple Mist","Mixed Element"!"

The first five forms of the Innate Chapter run counter, tracing back to"Mixed Element Skill"from"Nine Yang Divine Skill", tracing back once, finding true understanding, yet this sixth form unexpectedly flips to"Four Seas Unification Skill"—

"His body like the sea, his mind like emptiness, reason beyond material, this is wisdom contained."

"Clear understanding of the profound darkness, maintain still intense contemplation, sitting upright thinking deeply, no evil can enter."

Five forms reverse!

Four Seas Unification!

Yan Chuan is delighted, the sixth form of "Washing Marrow Scripture"Innate Chapter instantly completes, which is—

""Unity"!"
