Mount Luofu, within a towering palace.
True Lord Zhifa Chiyuan had already departed, leaving Lu Yang alone in the hall, seated in quiet contemplation as he absorbed Qing Kui's memories concerning the Spell Dao.
He had always had little understanding of the Spell Dao.
As one of the Three Foundations, the Spell Dao had come into being in a most unusual way. It was born upon the foundations of the Dharma Body Path and the Dharma Power Dao, then grew from there.
So-called spells were, in truth, techniques for making the fullest possible use of one's Dharma Body or dharma power. As the saying went, when skill approached the Dao, once this technique developed to its utmost limit, it would naturally resonate with the Spell Dao hidden in the unseen. That was how the first Spell Dao cultivator had been born.
Spell Dao cultivation was the same.
During the mortal stage, one chooses a Lifebound Ability, enters the Dao through the spell, continuously refines it, enhances its power step by step, and elevates its essential rank.
As for spell grades, I had learned about them before.
The Initial True Precept, the Midmost Precept, and the Heavenly Immortal Great Precept—these three levels corresponded to Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core. They were also the orthodox path of Spell Dao cultivation.
Beyond that came Great Immortal Arts.
Spell Dao cultivators who mastered a [Great Immortal Art] would generally obtain the rank of Late Golden Core or Great True Lord, becoming completely bound to the Spell Dao.
At that thought, Lu Yang suddenly looked to his side.
There, a mass of dark, profound qi drifted and pulsed like breath. Within it flowed a mighty power capable of shaking the soul and making the Sea of Consciousness tremble.
