Numinous Treasure Dao

"Long ago, I entered the Path to Immortality. I knew that beyond the Human World Universe lay a Strange World, but because the Corpse Calamity had not been eliminated, I remained in the Human World Universe to suppress it."

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord sighed. "If Fellow Daoist Primordial truly fell into darkness and hid within the Strange World, then he would be unable to return to the Human World Universe."

"I see that you seem to be the Chaos Body spoken of in legends? You are only in your First Life, yet you are already no weaker than I was in my Third Life." Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord seemed rather interested.

Chaos Body.

There had always been rumors of it in his era, but no true Chaos Body had ever been born, as though it were merely a legend.

He had never expected that among the lineage he left behind, a Chaos Body would achieve the Dao.

"A Chaos Body also existed in the Mythological Era of Fellow Daoist Numinous Treasure. Later, it even gravely wounded a Heavenly Lord of its era, causing that Heavenly Lord to cough blood and pass away."

Chen Zhao smiled. He knew that no Chaos Body had been born in the era before Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's death.

The period in which Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord achieved the Dao should have preceded Immeasurable Heavenly Lord's attainment of the Dao.

Chen Zhao explained the origins of his constitution.

This could not help but make Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord sigh with emotion. "Yin and yang join, and Chaos is born."

"If you can comprehend the mysteries of Chaos and completely return to the source, you may be able to use this to forge a path of transformation." Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's gaze was sharp, cutting straight to the heart of the matter.

"Indeed." Chen Zhao nodded without saying more.

Returning to a Mortal Body was indeed one path. For Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord to see through it showed just how extraordinary his talent was.

However, the Chaos Body concerned Chen Zhao's future path, and for the time being, he had no intention of cutting it away.

"Fellow Daoist Numinous Treasure, did you know Daoist Heavenly Lord?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.

He had always wondered whether the Three Pure Ones of the Mythological Era knew one another.

After all, the transformation method Daoist Heavenly Lord was currently using in the Path to Immortality Land was precisely Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's method.

"Daode? Daoist Heavenly Lord was once peerlessly gifted and created the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill Refining Method. However, he attained the Dao far too long ago, and I never met him."

"When Fellow Daoist Primordial and I discussed the Longevity Method in the past, he held Daoist Heavenly Lord in extremely high regard. The two of them seemed to have interacted before, and Daoist Heavenly Lord appeared to be putting some sort of Longevity Method into practice."

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord spoke of the relationship between the three.

During his First Life, he discovered Primordial Heavenly Lord, who had yet to cut himself down. The two had discussed the Dao many times, seeking to verify the Longevity Method.

After hearing Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's words, Chen Zhao also told him about Daoist Heavenly Lord's transformation in the Path to Immortality Land on the Ancient Star.

"So Fellow Daoist Daode is using the transformation method I employed in my Third Life. Yet this method is exceedingly dangerous and requires one to transform between life and death," Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord said.

Back then, he had relied on this method to live out his Third Life. Just as he stood at his peak, the Sentient Immortal Corpse emerged.

After hearing Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's words, Chen Zhao roughly understood the chain of events.

Among the Mythological Three Pure Ones, Daoist Heavenly Lord was the first to achieve the Dao and created the Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill Refining Method.

Primordial Heavenly Lord followed soon after.

Primordial Heavenly Lord had even discussed the Dao with Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord during the latter's First Life.

During the era in which Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord achieved the Dao, Daoist Heavenly Lord was transforming into a Saintly Spirit, so the two had no chance to meet.

"How is your condition now?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.

"Although my True Spirit has returned, it is indeed extremely weak. It still needs a long time to nurture the True Spirit, reshape a new body, and achieve the union of Spirit God and body before I can truly return," Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord replied.

Although the Dissolution Method of dissolving the flesh and igniting the Xiantai allowed him to escape Darkness Erosion, it would take considerable time for him to recover.

Chen Zhao told Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord that Forbidden Zones might attack during his Late Years.

If Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord entered the battle wielding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, Chen Zhao did not dare imagine the scene. "Very well. When the time comes, I will enter the world and lend you a hand," Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord agreed.

"I never expected that after the Mythological Era ended, not only had the number of Forbidden Zone Supremes not decreased, it had instead grown ever greater."

In his era, although the Forbidden Zone Supremes did not behave like decent people and practiced the Reincarnation Seal method everywhere,

they had no worries over Lifespan and still possessed ambition. They had not given up their pursuit of longevity.

Yet after merely one era had passed, the Forbidden Zone Supremes of old had fallen so low, placing their hopes of immortality upon the Path to Immortality without the slightest enterprising spirit.

"You helped me return, and I have no way to repay you. Next, let us discuss the Dao. I hope it may be of some help to you," Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord said.

From Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, Chen Zhao learned of the transformation method Lingbao had once used.

He used an Undying Medicine to refine a Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill and live out his Second Life.

Then, in the Late Years of his Second Life, he used an array to gather the Fortune Qi of heaven and earth, burying himself within a land of fortune in the cosmos.

He transformed between life and death, seeking that sliver of vitality between them, thereby living out his Third Life.

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's transformation method and experience were precisely what Chen Zhao had hoped to obtain. Another mountain's stone could polish one's own jade.

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's Dao and Law could allow Chen Zhao to gain insight and forge his own path.

After discussing the Dao with Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, Chen Zhao came to understand Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's Great Dao.

The Great Dao was fifty; Heaven derived forty-nine, while one escaped.

That one which escaped was the Dao cultivated by Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, centered on seizing that fleeing sliver of vitality.

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's Dissolution Method was the embodiment of his own Great Dao.

The flesh dissolved, the Xiantai ignited, leaving behind a sliver of vitality.

During their discussion of the Dao, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord also taught Chen Zhao the Numinous Treasure Scripture.

The Intercepting Heaven Dao had originally inherited the Numinous Treasure Scripture as well, but after countless years, that inheritance had long been lost, leaving only the Scripture of Salvation and the Array Word Secret.

Now that Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord had passed down the Numinous Treasure Scripture once more, it meant that the lost inheritance of the Intercepting Heaven Dao had been restored to its original state.

The Numinous Treasure Scripture was the essence of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's Dao.

It emphasized following nature, not deliberately pursuing realms, but focusing instead on insight and experience during cultivation, seizing that fleeing sliver of vitality.

Besides this, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord was exceptionally skilled in the Xiantai Primordial Spirit.

If Daoist Heavenly Lord excelled in the Wheel and Sea Mystery, then Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord had studied the Xiantai to profound depths.

Perhaps because the Corpse Calamity ran rampant in Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's era, his attainments in the Primordial Spirit were so high in order to restrain it.

The two discussed the Great Dao and deduced the Longevity Method. Their plain words contained the true meaning of the Great Dao, with Myriad Daos following around them as visions manifested.

After discussing the Dao with Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, Chen Zhao benefited enormously.

When their discussion ended, Chen Zhao left behind Immortal Essence to aid Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord in restoring his True Spirit.

Immortal Essence could nourish all things and strengthen a Cultivator's Primordial Spirit.

After being cleansed by it, the Primordial Spirit could become pure, with the effect of making it firm and indestructible.

This was an immortal treasure that was effective even for True Immortals.

It was the most suitable supreme treasure for Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord to restore his True Spirit.

After their discussion ended and he left behind the Immortal Essence, Chen Zhao bade farewell and departed.
