Silent Cultivation

Hongyun exclaimed, "As expected, my physical body has surpassed Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasures!"

He retracted his fist, leaving only two white dots, without a single trace of injury.

Even a Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasure would struggle to break his skin.

Such a physical body was terrifying!

Of course, Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasures varied in strength.

Minghe's two swords were not top-tier, but they were not weak either.

Swish, swish!

Minghe retracted his twin swords and, seeing the cracks, felt a pang of heartache.

Repairing them would likely take thousands of years of nourishment.

He then summoned a hundred more blood rivers, enveloping Hongyun.

Hongyun scoffed, "Minghe, these blood rivers can't trap me! I'm leaving, goodbye!"

He flew away on his cloud, a mocking expression on his face.

If not for the Netherworld Blood Sea and the Blood Mosquito's sneak attack, Minghe would have given up the chase by now.

Hongyun's combat power far exceeded his own, despite both being at the peak of Grand Unity.

But now...

Minghe thought to himself, "Once the Blood Mosquito's proboscis latches on, even if his physical body is strong, he won't be able to hold on!"

"With seven gourds in hand, it's enough to compensate for my losses!"

He waved his hand, and thousands of blood rivers pressed down with a roar.

Hongyun laughed at the sight.

The thousands of blood rivers surrounded him, their pressure terrifying.

Even the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, or Dijun would struggle to resist.

But he was Hongyun.

He unleashed his peak Grand Unity power.

His auspicious clouds transformed into streams of light, weaving freely through the blood rivers.

He laughed heartily, "Minghe, you think these blood rivers can stop me!"

Seeing him move as if in water, Minghe's fury reached the heavens.

However, the thousands of blood rivers had already sealed his escape routes, and he rekindled his hope.

He roared, "This time, you're dead!"

He unleashed the entire Netherworld Blood Sea.

Rumble!

The boundless blood sea descended like a celestial curtain, exuding an overwhelming aura of blood fiendishness.

He whispered, "Blood Mosquito, go!"

A response came from the blood sea, "Rest assured, Ancestor!"

Minghe stared sinisterly at Hongyun, as if looking at a corpse.

He gritted his teeth, "Enjoy your moment! I'll be here to collect the body later!"

Hongyun mused, "Here it comes. Can my Law of Devouring fully consume the blood sea?"

The blood sea contained Pangu's bloodline; if he could refine it, it would be a great supplement.

One blood river was comparable to a Ginseng Fruit.

The entire blood sea was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of them!

Minghe was truly a treasure-delivering boy.

Buzz!

The moment the blood sea covered him, he unleashed his devouring aura.

The Law of Devouring was activated!

With him at the center, a black hole suddenly appeared.

It was as if the void of the Great Desolation had opened its massive maw.

The black hole rapidly expanded for tens of thousands of miles.

Roar!

The void trembled, and the black hole swallowed half of the blood sea in one gulp.

Minghe's venomous gaze turned to shock, "This is impossible! My blood sea!"

Swallowing half in one bite, he had never witnessed such a sight and stood dumbfounded.

He shouted urgently, "Blood Mosquito, hurry!"

He waved his hand, intending to reclaim the remaining half.

Hongyun sneered, "Still want to run?"

He urged the giant mouth to pounce towards the Blood Sea again.

Hiss!

Another forty percent was devoured, leaving only ten percent for Minghe to reclaim.

At the same moment, a giant mosquito appeared in the void, its entire body blood-red.

Its proboscis was enormous, exuding a chilling killing intent, as if capable of slaying gods.

The Blood Mosquito's proboscis instantly stabbed towards Hongyun.

Clang!

It intended to pierce and suck blood but struck the black gourd, emitting a crisp sound.

Crack!

The proboscis shattered on the spot, like porcelain meeting iron.

The Blood Mosquito screamed, "Ah!"

This proboscis was forged from fragments of the God-Slaying Spear, indestructible.

It was his ultimate treasure, which had helped Minghe kill countless powerful beings in secret.

Now, it was broken.

It found this hard to accept.

Minghe was horrified at the sight.

He immediately rolled up a layer of the Blood Sea and fled.

Are you kidding me!

Hongyun was outrageously powerful, and even his trump card, the Blood Mosquito, was useless.

If he didn't run now, he feared he would lose his life here.

The Blood Mosquito grabbed the broken proboscis, intending to rejoin Minghe.

It looked up and saw that Minghe had already fled.

Abandoning it to escape alone!

The Blood Mosquito cursed furiously, "Shameless Minghe! I will never forgive you!"

It was still fighting desperately, but Minghe had abandoned it.

Being backstabbed by a teammate hurt more than its proboscis shattering.

Under the double blow, its combat power was greatly reduced.

Only late-stage Grand Unity, far from Hongyun's peak.

Hongyun could destroy it with a raised hand.

But he stopped his action.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully causing trouble, obtaining 10 Yellow Middle Plums!"

The System's voice rang out.

Hongyun glanced at the enraged Blood Mosquito and a new thought arose.

Killing it now would merely add another pool of mosquito blood.

Letting it go, with its hatred for Minghe, would likely turn it into a mortal enemy.

The Blood Mosquito would not give up this revenge; its thoughts were unsettled.

He paused his hand.

Whoosh!

The Blood Mosquito, desperate to survive, fled rapidly.

It thought it had narrowly escaped, unaware that Hongyun had intentionally let it go.

At this moment, all its hatred was directed at Minghe.

"Wait until I repair my proboscis, old dog Minghe, you just wait!"

The Blood Mosquito gritted its teeth.

It dared not seek revenge on Hongyun; that black gourd filled it with fear.

It did not wish to have its proboscis shattered again after repairing it.

That pain was enough for one lifetime.

Minghe's Blood Sea had lost ninety percent, and its strength would surely fall.

The Blood Mosquito secretly thought, "If I kill Minghe, Nine Netherworld will be mine to command!"

It had long harbored ambitions, but had always been subservient to Minghe.

It flew into a hidden valley in the Great Desolation to heal its injuries.

Hongyun, meanwhile, rode the clouds back to Fire Cloud Cave.

Three months later, he arrived.

He waved his hand and set up restrictions, sealing the cave dwelling.

Next, he intended to take stock of his gains, unwilling to be disturbed by outsiders.

Swish!

He first took out the Qiankun Cauldron.

The cauldron transformed, becoming dozens of meters tall, radiating golden light.

"The restrictions on the cauldron are not fully refined; it will take several centuries to complete the refinement!"

Hongyun made steady plans.

He then took out the Great Dao Treasure Gourd.

This black gourd was his most powerful magic treasure.

"The restrictions on the gourd are also not completely refined; it needs to be thoroughly refined!"

In the Purple Heaven Palace, he had refined 42 layers, with 6 remaining.

The gourd had 48 layers of restrictions, surpassing the Qiankun Cauldron's 42.

The cauldron had only been refined to 36 layers previously.

Refining the restrictions on both treasures was expected to take a thousand years.

On the Great Dao Cushion, otherwise it would take a hundred thousand years.

He took out the System rewards.

Ten Yellow Middle Plums hovered before his eyes.

The fruits were like pearl buds, inscribed with the characters "Yellow Middle," and exuded the aura of the Law of Reincarnation.

"Yellow Middle Plums are top-tier Innate Spiritual Roots, passed down from the Chaos Reincarnation Fruit, naturally imbued with the Law of Reincarnation!"

Hongyun was overjoyed.

The System was generous with its rewards.

It took three Yuan Hui for the Yellow Middle Plum to produce nine fruits.

Obtaining ten was truly rare.

He estimated that with the Great Dao Cushion, he could comprehend the Law of Reincarnation.

Devouring plus Reincarnation, he would wield two great laws.

Finally, he took out the item he anticipated the most.

The Mythical Grand Unity Method obtained from tricking Jieyin and Zhunti.

With a thought, the cultivation technique entered his mind.

He studied it meticulously.

Three years later, he stopped.

The Mythical Grand Unity Method was vast and boundless.

Its cultivation threshold was extremely high.

But once cultivated, all Great Desolation cultivation methods would seem like child's play.

This method was divided into two stages.

The first stage was Foundation Establishment, divided into ten realms.

Each realm was as difficult as scaling the heavens.

The first realm of Foundation Establishment alone surpassed his current Grand Unity peak, comparable to the early Quasi-Saint stage.

The second realm would rival the middle Quasi-Saint stage.

The fifth realm would possess Saintly power.

This was merely Foundation Establishment, highlighting its terrifying nature.

After the ten realms of Foundation Establishment, one would enter the second stage—the Mythical Realm.

Only by cultivating to the Mythical Realm would one truly become a Mythical Grand Unity.

At that point, Saints and the Heavenly Dao could be easily destroyed.

"Immeasurably powerful!"

Hongyun resolved to cultivate this method.

Although difficult, with the System in hand, I fear nothing!

Even without reaching the Mythical realm, Foundation Establishment fifth layer is already comparable to a Saint.

At that time, facing Hongjun's schemes, he would have the confidence to resist.

Hongyun did not immediately begin cultivating the Mythical Grand Unity Method.

He decided to first completely refine these two supreme treasures, the Qiankun Cauldron and the Great Dao Treasure Gourd.

He always felt he had a tendency towards obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If he didn't completely refine the innate restrictions on these two treasures, his heart would not find peace.

Last time, in his haste to rush to Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the Dao, time was tight, and he was unable to fully refine the Qiankun Cauldron's restrictions.

Now, he had ample time...

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

The Qiankun Cauldron spun before Hongyun's eyes. He sat cross-legged on the Great Dao Cushion, his divine sense probing into the treasure cauldron, gradually refining the innate restrictions on it.

Time flew by, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Hongyun let out a long sigh.

"The two supreme treasures are finally completely refined!"

After spending a thousand years, with the help of the Great Dao Cushion, he had finally thoroughly refined the restrictions on the Qiankun Cauldron and the Great Dao Treasure Gourd.

Now, he could truly wield the full power of these two supreme treasures.

Only after refining the 42 innate restrictions on the Qiankun Cauldron did Hongyun truly comprehend its power.

If previously it could refine the Great Dao Treasure Gourd, that was merely one of its functions.

Now, it had gained another ability—refining merit supreme treasures.

That's right!

As long as Hongyun possessed sufficient merit, whether it was the merit of the Great Dao, Heavenly Dao, Human Dao, or Earth Dao.

He could elevate the Great Dao Treasure Gourd to another level, refining it into the Great Dao Merit Treasure Gourd.

Its power would once again skyrocket, by no means inferior to innate supreme treasures like the Chaos Bell.

Similarly, the Great Dao Treasure Gourd was now also completely refined by him. Its defensive, trapping, and enemy-killing capabilities could all be perfectly displayed.

In terms of defense, its previous feat of shattering the Blood Mosquito Daoist's mouthparts was enough to prove its might.

In terms of trapping, with Hongyun's current strength, he could even trap early-stage Quasi-Saints.

Once his cultivation advanced further, he could seal anyone below the Saint realm.

As for killing enemies, although it was not the Great Dao Treasure Gourd's specialty, its attack power far surpassed that of any Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It could be called the treasure with the greatest killing power below the supreme treasures.

"Swish!"

Hongyun waved his hand and summoned the gourd vine.

Then, he threw the gourd vine into the Qiankun Cauldron, letting it refine slowly.

"This gourd vine was originally Nuwa's creation tool for creating humans, and later became the acquired merit supreme treasure, the Human-Creating Whip. I'll use the Qiankun Cauldron to refine it first, and make plans later!"

Hongyun pondered to himself.

Since the Qiankun Cauldron could refine things on its own, it was useless lying idle.

After doing this, he stored the Qiankun Cauldron and the Great Dao Treasure Gourd into his personal space.

He then began to cultivate the Mythical Grand Unity Method.

This would become his greatest trump card in the future.

The Mythical Grand Unity Method had extremely high requirements for cultivators; not everyone could practice it.

Firstly, one's innate foundation needed to be extremely profound.

According to its description, even those with top-tier foundations in the Great Desolation like the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches might not be qualified.

To test one's foundation, one needed to use the opening scripture of the Mythical Grand Unity Method to examine one's bloodline.

Only when the bloodline emitted black light would it be considered qualified.

Secondly, upon successfully establishing one's foundation, there were strict requirements for the physical body, Primordial Spirit, and comprehension of laws.

"Let me first test if my foundation meets the standard!"

Hongyun whispered.

He cut his finger, squeezed out a drop of vital blood, and circulated it according to the opening scripture.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

That drop of vital blood, carrying his foundation, now vibrated violently like boiling hot water.

As the scripture circulated, the color of the vital blood continuously changed.

From the initial red, it gradually shifted to orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue...

Finally, it emitted a deep purple glow!

However, this still didn't meet the standard for the foundation of cultivating the Mythical Grand Unity Method.

The deep purple blood continued to change, slowly revealing a black light.

But the change didn't stop, and eventually, all the light was contained within.

The entire drop of blood turned dark black, concealing all brilliance!

"Success!"

Seeing this, Hongyun's face showed joy.

The appearance of the black light meant his foundation now met the requirements for cultivating the Mythical Grand Unity Method.

And now that his blood was dark black, it had clearly surpassed the minimum standard.

With his foundation meeting the standard, he could cultivate the Mythical Grand Unity Method.

But to attempt Foundation Establishment first layer, one needed to condense the Flower of the Primordial Spirit, the Flower of the Physical Body, and the Flower of the Law.

Furthermore, all three flowers must bloom simultaneously, with at least three flowers!

Only when the Three Flowers Gathered at the Crown could the Grand Unity Dao Fruit be condensed.

This Dao Fruit was the foundation of the Mythical Grand Unity.

Three flowers were merely the base.

If one could bloom six, nine, or even more flowers, their potential would become even more astonishing.

Three flowers could easily lead to Foundation Establishment third layer.
