The Myriad Gods Ancestor's Purpose

The old snake's words opened a door to a new world for Yi Yun, and he heard a lot of information that he had never known before.

"Senior, does this mean that each of the Twelve Dao Ancestors corresponds to a weapon?"

The old snake nodded and said, "The Twelve Dao Ancestors not only correspond to weapons, but also to twelve cultivation techniques. These twelve techniques can be considered the source of the Great Dao."

"But because the very existence of the last three Dao Ancestors is a mystery, no one can say for sure what the last three sets of cultivation techniques and the three weapons are."

Hearing the old snake's words, Yi Yun let out a cold breath. He already knew from Huan Chenxue that the previously widely circulated <Yang God Scripture> and <Nine Nether Sacred Canon>, these Twelve Emperor Heavens's techniques, were not actually formed naturally by the Great Dao, but were written by humans.

These twelve sets of cultivation techniques are of course extremely precious to martial artists of the Divine Lord level and below, but if someone of Bai Yueyin's level were to look down on them, they would not even consider them worthwhile!

This is also why, after Bai Yueyin harmed Lord Qingyang, she only took the broken Pure Yang Broken Sword and not the fragments of the Yang God Scripture.

However, if it is the original cultivation method of the Twelve Dao Ancestors that the old snake mentioned, then it is different. Once mastered, its power would be unimaginable.

Yi Yun couldn't help but think of his Myriad Demons Life-Death Wheel. His current achievements were largely due to cultivating the Myriad Demons Life-Death Wheel, which allowed him to comprehend the Great Destruction Dao. Could this Myriad Demons Life-Death Wheel also be the Origin Great Dao?

"Does the senior know where the sacred weapons and cultivation techniques corresponding to the Twelve Dao Ancestors are now?" Yi Yun couldn't help but ask.

If the Myriad Demons Life-Death Wheel is so powerful, do other cultivation techniques possess similar might?

The old snake shook his head and said, "Most of these have disappeared without a trace. The original cultivation techniques have almost been lost. There are still traces of Dao Ancestor Saint Weapon that have survived to this day are not complete. If a complete and controllable Dao Ancestor Saint Weapon were to be unleashed, it would be absolutely earth-shattering. This entire Myriad Gods Ridge could be directly razed to the ground."

"Has it been lost...?"

Yi Yun sighed inwardly, wishing he could take a look at what those original cultivation techniques were.

"I really want to see it..."

Yi Yun felt a strong urge to try it out. Apart from the Myriad Demons Life-Death Wheel, the other cultivation techniques he had learned were not particularly outstanding.

Seeing Yi Yun's expression, the old snake chuckled and said, "Kid, you want to see the Origin Cultivation Technique, don't you?"

Yi Yun nodded, and asked with a sliver of hope, "This junior is indeed very curious. Senior, do you have any guidance on these twelve fundamental cultivation techniques?"

"Heh! You wish!" The old snake swallowed a mouthful of meat, picked his teeth with a bamboo skewer, and said, "A mere table of food, plus a couple of jars of Immortal's Draught, and you expect me to tell you all this?"

Upon hearing the old snake's words, Yi Yun was taken aback. "Senior, do you really know these things?"

"I know a little, but not much." The old snake crossed his legs.

Yi Yun poured the old snake a glass of wine and said with a smile, "I wonder what your conditions are, senior? If it is within my power, I will certainly do my utmost."

Yi Yun had no idea why Huan Chenxue had asked him to find the old snake. If the old snake knew the whereabouts of the Twelve Dao Ancestors Origin Techniques, and each of them was at the level of the Myriad Demons Life-Death Wheel, that would be incredible.

Hearing Yi Yun's words, the old snake curled his lip, finished off the bottle of Immortal's Draught that Yi Yun had just poured, and said, "Don't think that just because Chen Xue sent you to find me, I can give you any benefits. I've never done anything that would put me at a disadvantage all these years. Besides, you're not strong enough to help me. It's good enough that you're offering me a drink."

Hearing the old snake's words, Yi Yun was speechless. This old guy was impervious to reason. It was really not easy to get anything out of him. Just look at how miserable the Snake Woman, who was his disciple, was. This old man was no decent person at all.

"Senior, although I am not very strong, how can you know that I can't do anything if you don't say anything?"

The old snake chuckled, "You're still not giving up, huh? But there's some news I can tell you. Didn't you ask me before why I stayed in Myriad Gods Ridge?"

Yi Yun's eyes lit up. "Senior, please enlighten me!"

"Although the Kanglong Ding of Myriad Gods Ridge only contains a fragment of the Dragon Emperor Soul, I know that among the treasures inside the Kanglong Ding is a fragment of the <Dragon Emperor Art>. I don't know how the Myriad Gods Ancestor learned of this, otherwise do you think that old scoundrel would have so much free time as to gather a bunch of rabble to Blood Sacrifice at the Kanglong Ding every now and then, claiming it's to find someone with 'Root of Wisdom'? Actually, what he really wants is the <Dragon Emperor Art> sealed within the Kanglong Ding."

"So that's how it is." Yi Yun took a deep breath. He originally thought that the Myriad Gods Ancestor was simply looking for treasures in the Kanglong Ding, but he didn't expect that the treasures in the Kanglong Ding included fragments of the <Dragon Emperor Art>!

Yi Yun had been wondering why, if the sole purpose was to find treasures within the Kanglong Ding, those with "Root of Wisdom" found could simply be taken, compensated, and sent away—or even killed to silence them. Why then did they take them into their sect, make them core disciples, and nurture them slowly?

There's probably some deeper meaning behind this...

"This junior would like to ask the senior, why are some people able to activate the Kanglong Ding while others cannot?" This was Yi Yun's biggest question, as the ability to activate the Kanglong Ding seemed to have nothing to do with talent.

The old snake said, "The reason the Kanglong Ding was activated is because those people have the bloodline of an ancient clan. This clan is actually a descendant of the Dragon Emperor. It once had a glorious history, but later, for some reason, this ancient clan disappeared in the long river of history, and now it is difficult to find any records of it in the classics."

"The ancient clan left behind some collateral bloodlines, which have become extremely diluted over countless generations. However, even so, the Kanglong Ding can still sense their bloodline, which is why the Kanglong Ding was activated."

"So that's how it is." Yi Yun hadn't expected there to be so many secrets involved. "It seems the Dragon Emperor's bloodline is too diluted, offering little help to their cultivation. What a pity..."

Hearing Yi Yun's lament, the old snake shook his head. "It's not that it's completely unhelpful, it's just that the ancient clan's lineage has been severed. Even those with a slightly stronger Dragon Emperor Bloodline can't find a way to develop their bloodline, so they naturally become just ordinary people!"

"The Myriad Gods Ancestor should also know this, but the old man is unwilling to give up. He still wants to cultivate these people, enhance their strength, and awaken the dormant bloodline within them in order to activate the Kanglong Ding and hopefully find some unexpected surprises, but the chances are slim."
