Chapter 754 - 397: The Sacred Body of Mountains and Rivers, Great Completion of Void-breaking
The arrival of the Red Cat and its trickery with the Wind Spirit Tiger has caused Spiritual Sovereign Mountain to undergo changes. The spirit beasts of the mountain are receiving training, transforming into a formidable army of the Demon Clan.
The Nine Mountain Realm too stirs with undercurrents. Meng Chong’s arrival has led to a series of assassination attempts, some overt, some clandestine and underhanded.
Were it not for his formidable strength, his incredibly resilient body, and his extraordinary martial arts techniques, he might have already fallen.
"Who is targeting me?"
Meng Chong had already changed his attire, donning a wig to cover his bald head, masking his most recognizable feature.
"The eldest senior brother appeared in Dahai Mountain, but his traces have vanished for some time. Is he undergoing a breakthrough in seclusion? Who exactly are these people targeting me, and what power do they represent?
"For now, I’ll assume a new identity and try my luck in the Heavenly Grotto, gathering treasures. It won’t be too late to seek revenge after I’ve made my breakthrough!"
Meng Chong had a plan for his next move.
Due to the nature of martial arts, once he made a move in the Heavenly Grotto, his traces would quickly be exposed. Therefore, he could not stay there for too long.
"The Minor Eye of the Heavenly Dao is just a bit away from being comprehended. I should spend more time on that." Meng Chong thought to himself.
Meng Chong began to conceal his presence and ventured into the Heavenly Grotto.
...
Li Xuan, as usual, sat leisurely in a chair, playing with a Jade Ruyi in one hand while holding and reading the Book of Taicang with the other.
He had already reached the seventeenth page of the Book of Taicang. Only the last page was left before he would have completed the entire book.
Now, Li Xuan’s understanding of the Taicang Domain Dao Principles and the principles of Dao had reached an extremely high level.
It was also for this reason that Li Xuan was gradually perfecting the next realm beyond the Domain Realm.
The Divine Skill Martial Code was also being refined further.
The goal of the Three Thousand Divine Skills was within reach; these skills encompassed a wide range, each with its myriad uses, not limited to offense and defense.
"The path of Divine Skills is truly mystical. With the Dao principles as a reference, creating Divine Skills has become much easier," Li Xuan mused contentedly at the significant progress he had made in his martial arts endeavor.
"Xu Yan has gone to the Nine Mountain Realm. Meng Chong should be nearing his trip there as well." he thought to himself.
Of his five disciples, only Jiang Buping had yet to truly begin his training. However, the issue with the Imperishable Qi was nearing a resolution, and his entrance into the Extreme Soul Martial Arts realm was imminent.
Day after day, those around him devoted themselves to arduous cultivation, including his maid, Cai Ling’er, who had activated her bloodline and obtained the Sea Spirit Inheritance, making significant progress in her training.
Shi’er, Meng Shushu, and Zhou Ying had all made it to the later stages of the Divine Intent Realm. It had to be said that under the influence of pills and the rich spiritual energy of the Divine Realm, their cultivation speed had greatly increased. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Fang Hao’s formations, as well as the Communication Talismans, had seen significant improvements, as had his mastery of the Qimen Martial Art.
Meng Chong returned briefly before departing again for the Nine Mountain Realm.
"Your disciple Xu Yan has understood the essence of the Minor Eye of the Heavenly Dao. Your Minor Eye of the Heavenly Dao has reached completion," reported the Daoist Golden Book.
A surge of elation filled Li Xuan’s heart. In that moment, he felt as though his eyes could penetrate all the mysteries of the world.
A third eye seemed to emerge within his forehead, radiant and profound with spiritual light.
"So, this is the Minor Eye of the Heavenly Dao. Xu Yan indeed has not let me down!" Li Xuan exclaimed.
Having gained the Minor Eye of the Heavenly Dao, Li Xuan felt as if everything had changed. Looking at the Book of Taicang, he seemed to see the traces of Dao principles outlined. It was as if he could perceive the passage of time that the creator of those Dao principles had experienced.
With this new ability, reading the Book of Taicang became even easier. He looked up at the firmament and saw the operation of the Domain Dao Rule, the existence of the natural laws, and the Domain Origin.
He even felt as though he could see, high above the firmament, the outline of something resembling a world.
"Interesting!" Li Xuan commented, his curiosity piqued but deciding not to explore further for now.
"The Minor Eye of the Heavenly Dao is already so powerful. How much more formidable the true Eye of the Heavenly Dao must be!" Li Xuan pondered the divine power he had cultivated, realizing the challenge of mastering it completely.
"With the Minor Eye of the Heavenly Dao, I should be able to detect the hidden presence in the stone house, right?" Li Xuan speculated.
The Mysterious Stone House within the Wu Country Royal Palace harbored untold secrets, likely related to the owner of the Book of Taicang.
However, Li Xuan did not rush to the Wu Country Royal Palace to investigate.
"No rush. The Void-breaking Realm is not yet strong enough, and I have not fully mastered the Book of Taicang. The secrets of the world aren’t going anywhere," he reasoned, curbing his enthusiasm.
"Your disciple Xu Yan has intuitively understood the Great Divine Power, Destiny of the Heavenly Intent, and your Destiny of the Heavenly Intent has reached completion," the Daoist Golden Book updated him again.
Xu Yan had come to understand another Divine Skill.
The Destiny of the Heavenly Intent!
This Divine Skill was one of the Great Divine Powers Li Xuan had created, a unique class of Divine Skill, and Xu Yan had actually managed to comprehend it.
"He truly is a pioneer of my martial arts undertaking," Li Xuan thought proudly, his mood lifted by the news.
With his spirits high, he went on to instruct Feng Yan, who was busy at that moment, on his cultivation of Divine Skills.
Feng Yan was overjoyed and listened intently, afraid of missing the slightest detail.
All this time, as the Immortal Heavenly Venerable residing within the Qimen Institute and Alchemical Medical Institute, he had played the role of a mere errand boy, seeking recognition, clinging to a rare opportunity.
Now, the chance had arrived!
Feng Yan was cultivating a minor Divine Skill, but as a martial artist of Taicang Martial Arts, mastering Divine Skills still posed a great challenge.
