Nine Heavens Secret Treasury
Li Weiyi spent a month reading through the eight volumes of the "Eight Trigrams Upper Profound Scripture" once, and then combined it with the insights and interpretations written by many senior masters to refine his understanding.
Among them, I gained the most from reading Yu Yaozi's interpretation.
She always manages to point out the profound mysteries of obscure passages in the simplest and most straightforward way, while also offering her own unique understanding and insights.
It must be said that this Great Palace Master is extremely skilled in martial arts, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.
"The * Eight Trigrams Upper Profound Scripture * is profound and extensive. Although I have thoroughly understood and comprehended it, and my mind is clear about it, it's like gazing at the starry Starry Sky, seeing the countless stars clearly, and understanding their movement patterns."
"But do you really understand?"
"It's merely a distant view from billions of miles away; one cannot possibly comprehend the profound laws governing the operation of the stars, seeing them only as points of light. In reality, each point of light contains infinite things."
"To fully understand, one must read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."
Li Weiyi wrapped the eighth volume of the Jade Slip in his hand, knowing full well that he had only grasped the most superficial level of the <Eight Trigrams Upper Profound Scripture>, and everything was still on the surface.
A flower in a mirror, the Moon in the Water.
Even so.
After a month, the scripture within the Divine Que Dao Seed had increased from 72 characters to 307 characters, a several-fold increase.
It can be said that he reached the peak from the early stage of the Second Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.
The reason why the speed of comprehension is so fast is not only because the <Eight Trigrams Upper Profound Scripture> is simpler than the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, but also because, as the realm increases, the soul is nourished by the Dharma Qi.
Therefore, the higher one's cultivation level, the faster one can understand the scriptures.
The Wind Mansion Dragon Seed is at the Fourth Heaven, and it has condensed into a Dao Lotus.
The Twelve-Character Dao Seed of Shenque is still in the Second Heaven.
"If I could read the true text of the <Eight Trigrams Upper Profound Scripture>, understand its Daoist Charm, and connect with the origin of the Great Dao, my comprehension speed would definitely be much faster. Perhaps I would have already broken through to the Third Heaven the Dao Seed Realm," Li Weiyi thought to himself.
Even if it was copied by Yu Yaozi, it still cannot compare to the true scripture.
It's like the difference between a tree and a tree drawn on paper.
The true scriptures are the genuine code of the clan, the foundation upon which the Zuoqiu Courtyard, and one of the keys to cultivating Longevity Realm Giants.
At the end of the ancient era of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast, there was an unrecorded history in Yingzhou, where time was interrupted, past cultivation methods were lost, the Netherworld of the Departed shrouded the land, and strange things erupted.
In this era, one-third of the "true scriptures" of the major powers in Yingzhou came from the Otherworldly Coffin worlds, one-third came from the Immortal Fallen Realm, and one-third came from the awakening of the bloodline inheritance of the Ancient Immortal Giant Beasts' corpses and descendants.
Even the cultivation methods of the Ancient Son of Heaven, even the cultivation methods Ancient Son of Heaven created, all originated from these three categories.
The last Ancient Immortal Giant Beast in the area surrounding Lingxiao Shengjing, "Yu Jia," did not belong to the era of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast. It merely possessed the bloodline of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast and attained immortality.
In the westernmost part of the Western Territory, in the vast area where the Demon Race gathers, there are also many demons with the bloodline of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast. For example, Hua Yuzi, the Demon Race at the Qianlong Lantern Festival, is a descendant of the Six-Colored Peacock, not the Yu Jia Flying Phoenix lineage.
Furthermore, the original sources of scriptures such as Formation Script, runes, and artifact inscriptions all originated from these three directions. After countless years of development and the research of generations of sages, various variations were created, developing into a mature system that gave rise to various sects and schools.
Because Lingxiao Shengjing is close to Blood Sea Coffin Dock, more than 90% of the human race's various scriptures and true texts originated from Otherworldly Coffin.
No one can say for sure what the "scriptures" actually are.
Some believe it is a script from another world, and thus, based on their own understanding of the scriptures, they created a script for their own world.
Some believe that "scriptures" are the imprints of the Great Way and the connecting medium for spiritual practice. Therefore, they directly observe and imitate them, feeling their meaning and copying their form.
Whether it's opening Otherworldly Coffin, exploring the Immortal Fallen Realm, or excavating the remains of Ancient Immortal Giant Beast, these are things that only Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator dare to do.
For Longevity Realm Martial Cultivator, many resources can only be obtained through these special channels.
Entering the Realm of the Longevity Realm marks the very beginning of the quest for immortality.
Even with Li Songgu's cultivation level, opening a special Otherworldly Coffin was a nerve-wracking and uncertain undertaking, for fear of causing a great disaster. Some terrifying things, if released from the coffin, could potentially wipe out the entire Jiu Li Tribe overnight.
Opening the Otherworldly Coffin presents more danger than opportunity.
The Underground Immortal Mansion is somewhat related to the Immortal Fallen Realm. However, it has been developed by the Bhakara Sect for many years and is no longer considered the Immortal Fallen Realm. Instead, it should be called the former site of the Bhakara Sect and the headquarters of the Rice Cult.
Li Weiyi withdrew from the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish and placed the Jade Slip back on the bookshelf. After a quick calculation, he was startled; time had passed too quickly, and six days had already passed in the outside world.
When seeking enlightenment, one is completely immersed and tirelessly pursues it.
I don't feel the passage of time.
He hurried to the gate of the Divine Martial Tower to check his arrangements and found footprints; Zen Sea Observing Mist had returned.
The Zen Sea Observing Mist was able to return from the mountaintop without disturbing him shows that the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed.
Otherwise, at the very least, they would have snapped him out of his cultivation and made him leave immediately.
Li Weiyi felt much more relaxed and began to break the formation of the Divine Martial Tower's gate, following the methods of the Zen Sea Observing Mist Sect. He planned to go to the mountaintop to find her and ask what the current situation was.
When Zen Sea Observing Mist were breaking the formation, he remained calm and skillful. Even though it took a long time, he was methodical and everything seemed to be under control.
But when Li Weiyi started working on it, he discovered that the Formation Script on the door were extremely intricate and complex, like searching for a thread among thousands of threads.
We must also be wary of potential attacks that could be triggered unintentionally.
After spending almost half an hour, Li Weiyi gave up.
According to his estimation, with his current level of mental power cultivation, it would take him at least two or three days to open the formation and get out.
Instead of wasting this time, I'd rather continue my cultivation and wait for the next time I return from Zen Sea Observing Mist.
"Ge Xiantong must possess a treasure that can activate the Phoenix Pavilion formation."
"From now on, I must not forget about time during my cultivation."
Li Weiyi summoned the Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors and took out seven Thousand-Year Elixir from Yao Qingxuan's storage bag, feeding them. "If Chan Wu doesn't return within five days, be sure to wake me."
Today is the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
Given the current situation, if the war in the Western Territory breaks out around the Lantern Festival, it won't be long before the Demon Race, the Rice Cult, the Demon Kingdom, and the Netherworld launch their attack on Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain.
Various crisis signals will definitely appear before the end of the month.
Therefore, regardless of the situation at Zen Sea Observing Mist, he must leave immediately before the end of the month.
The Seven Phoenix Wing Moth Emperors were each 1.4 feet long, quite enormous, equivalent to the Fourth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm. At present, Li Weiyi had abundant resources, enough to feed them to the Fifth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm.
Li Weiyi climbed the stairs to the upper tower in search of the true scriptures.
The authentic scriptures related to Daoist lineage are stored in the fifth level of the pagoda; there are only three volumes in total.
Li Weiyi became interested in one of the three volumes, "The Nine Heavens Secret Treasury".
The true scripture of the Nine Heavens Secret Treasury is a purple jade tablet, six feet tall.
The inscriptions on the stele are shaped like bolts of lightning in various forms.
Standing before it, a sense of history, weight, and mysterious energy washes over you. It seems to contain boundless energy that, if it were to explode, could destroy heaven and earth.
"The 'Nine Heavens Secret Treasury' is said to be the supreme chapter of the Lei Xiao Sect's cultivation manual, and it's actually stored here. Without this jade tablet, the Lei Xiao Sect could never have produced Martial Path Son of Heaven."
Li Weiyi sighed inwardly, wondering where in the world could one find a better cultivation paradise than Phoenix Pavilion?
This Divine Martial Tower alone is enough to make those Longevity Realm Giants and Transcendent Realm experts bleed profusely.
He sat cross-legged in front of the Purple Jade Stele.
Before he even began to comprehend it, he sensed that the Dao seeds in his Divine Palace and Wind Palace had become unusually active.
It felt like entering another world, directly facing the Great Road.
"Whoosh!"
Li Weiyi used his mental power to activate the Dao Ancestor Taiji Fish, weaving Time Cocoon, intending to envelop the <Nine Heavens Secret Treasury> jade tablet within it.
With a hiss, the Time Cocoon crumbled.
Just like last time when Tang Wanzhou broke into the cocoon, the Time Cocoon is very fragile and currently cannot support this purple jade tablet.
Li Weiyi was drawn in by the Daoist Charm contained within the purple jade tablet, its allure irresistible. Thus, he cast aside all distracting thoughts, Jade Void Breathing Technique, and immersed himself in it.
He couldn't understand the scriptures on the stele, nor did he read the interpretations of the "Nine Heavens Secret Treasury" on the adjacent bookshelf.
Instead, one should carefully experience the Daoist Charm itself, and integrate this Daoist Charm with one's own Daoist seed. At the same time, one should try to use one's soul and mind to trace and copy the scripture on the stele in the Divine Palace.
Martial artists who seek to comprehend true scriptures first sense their essence before studying their interpretations and understanding their meaning.
Because everyone's understanding of the true scriptures is different.
Interpretive versions, representing the understanding of predecessors, can influence later generations' true perception of the authentic scriptures.
As time went by, Li Weiyi's Divine Que Dao Seed emitted wisps of lightning and resounded with low rumbles of thunder.
"Sizzle!"
Lightning emanated from Shenque, overflowing from his body and flashing around him.
Gradually, signs of intertwining and entanglement appeared in all seventy-two directions around his body. The intertwined lightning bolts became more and more numerous and stable, transforming into a Lightning Strike Array.
Each of the seventy-two clusters of lightning contained a scripture.
"Receive!"
With a thought, Li Weiyi sent seventy-two bolts of lightning and scriptures flying into the Divine Palace and surging into the Dao Seed.
"Boom!"
The lightning collided with the Dao Seed, and instantly, a thunderous roar resounded within the Divine Martial Tower.
The Divine Que Dao Seed trembled violently and spun wildly.
A clear, ethereal glow emanated from the tower, flowing through its interior space.
"The Divine Que Dao Seed is about to Dao Birth, reaching the Third Heaven, which is also an excellent opportunity for body refinement."
Li Weiyi hurriedly entered the Blood Mud Space, headed to the Tanggu Sea, wove Time Cocoon, and swallowed body-refining treasures such as Four-Colored Immortal Moss, Golden Spring, and Divine Stove Wood. Then, he used Breathing Technique to frantically absorb the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi.
Two days later, the breakthrough was completed.
The Divine Que Dao Seed has officially entered the Third Heaven, and the number of scriptures on the Dao Seed is 379.
