Sacred Vessel

Description

At Sacred Vessel, one begins cultivation by sensing the eight types of attraction forces of fate. The best option is to serve as the Sacred Master of a Middle Realm. The second is a star system. The least desirable option is to be captured by a living True Immortal and be used as their Immortal Treasure.[1]

The powerful beings that fought on equal terms against the Heavenly Venerables became the five middle realms; they had died a miserable death, and thus are prone to becoming vestiges. To prevent the Sun and Moon Heavenly Domain from being destroyed, the True Persons of the Heavenly Domain gathered and assigned gravekeepers to manage the remains of those beings. [2]

The True Immortals make sure each Middle Realm has one Sacred Master each.

At this stage, the soul transforms into an Immortal Art itself. To advance, one needs to shatter 'everything' about oneself into clones or leftovers, but in the range of thousands or more, and then use the Immortal Art as the 'centre' to reconstruct one self.[3]

The Liberation Supreme Deity oversee this realm.

Advancement

If the Star Shattering stage is the realm where one 'explodes' everything of oneself, then the Sacred Vessel stage is the realm where one 'scatters' everything. Everything, including cultivation, consciousness and authority is scattered, leaving fragmented versions of oneself closer to a mortal rank in a designated area. Then, using the Immortal Art one has chosen, one begins to integrate these fragments, one by one, centring themselves around their Immortal Art. This Immortal Art, imbued with the main body's personality, absorbs the other fragments, gradually regaining strength, authority, and memories, and grows before finally rising to the Sacred Vessel stage. Note that this is not actually a personality death due to the fact that Immortal Arts stem from the heart. Instead this might more accurately be described as the realignment of your being based on your desires.

Cultivation Method

The Sacred Vessel cultivation formula is as follows: Through the activation of the Five Epochs and Three Virtues, awaken the attraction force of the fate of Eight Paths. Year (歲), Month (月), Day (日), Hour (辰), Calendar (歷) and Correctness (正), Strongness (剛), and Mildness (柔).

The Sacred Vessel formula is based on these eight principles, supplemented by the commentary annotations of the Sacred Vessel Immortal Treasure sisters.

The early Sacred Vessel stage is the rotation of the nebula. Most Sacred Vessel Sacred Masters during this phase focus on the Five Epochs: Year, Month, Day, Hour, and Calendar.

One must acquire these five laws from the world, seize control of them, and establish them with one's own hands. Once the establishment of these laws is complete, the nebula condenses toward the center of the rotating 'ring,' and light begins to emerge. The Sacred Master's main body gradually transforms into a fixed star, advancing to the mid-stage.

The mid stage is the Fixed Star. At this stage, the Sacred Master cultivates the attraction force of Correctness (正), realizing the correctness and straightforwardness (正直) of attraction force. The late stage is the Red Giant Stage.

At this stage, the Sacred Master cultivates the attraction force of Strongness (剛), realizing the strong rule (剛克) of attraction force. Grand Perfection is the Dwarf Star.

At this stage, the Sacred Master cultivates the attraction force of Mildness (柔), understanding the mild rule of attraction force.

Throughout this entire process, the Sacred Master oversees the eight necessities of life for the living beings within the world they govern. Food (食; sustenance), Wealth (貨; economy), Sacrifice (祀; ritual worship), Minister of Works (司空; territory), Minister of Education (司徒; education and enlightenment), Minister of Justice (司寇; law and order), Diplomacy (賓; guests and foreign relations), Army (師; general).

Using these eight essentials for living beings and through their own life, the Sacred Master gradually elevates the principles to the Plane of Fate, or in the case of the Earth Tribe, completely descends to the Plane of Qi.

Once the Eight Paths (八道) are completed, adding the Royal Perfection (皇極) results in what is called an Entering Nirvana stage True Person.

Vitality

Sacred Vessel cultivators gain a lifespan of 10,000,000,000 years.
