Perfecting the Immortal Dao Cultivation Method
"The Great Dao Talisman Array Fruit!"
Upon hearing Ning Qi's words, the Holy Ancestor Hai Zu's expression changed drastically.
The Holy Ancestor seemed to be trembling with age, and he said incredulously:
"The Great Dao Talisman Array Fruit... could it be the Great Dao Fruit that cultivators in the Immortal Realm seek to condense?"
They were just discussing what True Immortal is. Hai Zu said that True Immortal are divided into nine ranks, and the middle three ranks require the condensation of the fruit of the Great Dao.
Hai Zu's icy blue eyebrows were curved. Both Ning Qi's answer and the Holy Ancestor's surprised question prompted her to compare them with the immortal scriptures in her sea.
Ning Qi, as the person involved, thought about it carefully, but shook his head.
"It's probably not quite there yet, but it's already taken shape."
"The nascent form of the Great Dao, I freaking..."
The Holy Ancestor lost his composure and almost rushed over to grab Ning Qi by the neck.
"We are all cultivators at the Dao Integration stage, just one step away from entering the Immortal Realm. How come you already have the rudiments of the Great Dao?"
The Holy Ancestor took several deep breaths, but still could not suppress the shock in his heart.
"According to the immortal scriptures we've consulted, even True Immortal needs a long time to condense the Fruit of the Great Dao. How could you, a mere Dao Integration cultivator who hasn't even become an immortal, possibly condense it?"
The Holy Ancestor wasn't jealous; he simply couldn't understand or believe it.
Ning Qi scratched his cheek and said calmly:
"It doesn't seem to say that cultivators from lower realms can't condense their Dao Fruit first, does it?"
Ning Qi believed that his knowledge was extremely rich, and with his comprehension, he had long since integrated the learning of various schools of thought and incorporated all the knowledge in the world into his own cultivation system.
He has always been learning, practicing, and learning from others' strengths to make up for his weaknesses.
No matter who it is, or their cultivation level, as long as Ning Qi feels there is something he can learn from them, he will absorb it and make it his own.
Moreover, Ning Qi also possesses the Enlightenment Tree, which gathers the enlightenment of all living beings and integrates it into his body.
Ning Qi has been constantly improving himself, and has created an unprecedented cultivation system for World Lords.
Even the reincarnated body that was separated underwent an unprecedented Heavenly Tribulation of Forty-Nine, embracing the power of all directions, the power of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the power of the Vast Realm, the power of the True Martial Realm, and the energy of the Boundary Sea into one.
Even during the final battle with the Mountain Ancestor, in order to counter the Mountain Ancestor's perfect Immortal Power, Ning Qi fused with the Boundless Evil Qi, a power that even immortals fear.
Therefore, even though Ning Qi has not yet become an immortal, his accumulated knowledge and skills have already surpassed those of ordinary immortals. What can ordinary immortals use to compare with him?
Ning Qi also had a quirk: he always wanted to get to the bottom of everything he learned and find its Origin.
It was precisely this habit that allowed him to break the immortal talisman array cast by the Sea Ancestor; otherwise, how could a mortal cultivator surpass an immortal?
"The nascent form of the Great Dao is indeed real."
Hai Zu suddenly spoke up, "In the records of the Immortal Scriptures, there have been immortals who, upon achieving immortality, condensed the rudiments of the Great Dao. But without exception, they were all exceptionally talented individuals, one in a million."
Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor still smiled wryly:
"But they are only newly ascended immortals, while Ning boy hasn't even become an immortal yet..."
Hai Zu's eyes shone brightly, "This further demonstrates the potential of the Realm Lord. Isn't this a good thing for us?"
Ning Qi carefully sensed the Great Dao Talisman Fruit.
He was actually overjoyed, never expecting that by simply dismantling all the rune arrays he had cultivated with his Origin and then transforming them with the power of the Great Dao, he could form the prototype of the Great Dao rune array.
"Is it due to the power of the Great Dao, or because I have come to understand the rune array from its Origin, or is it a combination of both?"
Ning Qi thought to himself, "However, I have gained some understanding of the cultivation path of immortals. If I continue to study it, it might greatly help me break through to the Rule Realm of the Realm Lord system."
Ning Qi was trapped in the cage of his Divine Soul path.
The Mountain Ancestor's immortal soul sensed everything happening outside, and he was both shocked and disappointed.
"How is it possible that this guy could condense the rudimentary form of the Great Dao in the body of a cultivator from the lower realm..."
Although he now exists in the form of a celestial soul, his expression is exactly the same as when he had a physical body.
"In my quest to become an immortal, I searched through the Inheritance Mount Buzhou. In the past, Mount Buzhou was the only passage connecting to the celestial realm, and it has records of everything that happens there, especially those of those who have just become immortals."
"But among all those records, none could condense the rudimentary form of the Great Dao before becoming an immortal, let alone a cultivator from the lower realm like Ning Qi..."
The spirit of the Mountain Ancestor both wept and laughed.
"But such a fellow is destined to never become an immortal; he will become an enemy of the immortal realm, hahaha..."
Ning Qi came to his senses.
He directly condensed two spiritual senses and transmitted them to the foreheads of the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor respectively.
"I think the method I just used should work without any problems and should be applicable to everyone. Why don't you guys give it a try?"
The two received Ning Qi's spiritual information.
They were already watching from the sidelines, and Ning Qi had broken everything down in such detail. Now, with this spiritual information, it would be no problem for the two of them to do it.
Hai Zu said, "I just expended a lot of my Immortal Power, so let the Holy Venerable try it. If he can use it, then it proves that there is indeed no problem."
The Holy Ancestor no longer declined.
"Alright, let this old man try this method and see what level of immortal sect he can summon."
After speaking, the Holy Ancestor carefully studied the information Ning Qi had just given him.
He checked multiple times to make sure everything was correct, and even asked many questions on some key points before actually trying it out.
Hai Zu condensed a silver immortal gate, Ning Qi condensed Golden Immortal gate, what kind of immortal gate can he condense?
Even though the Holy Ancestor was quite old, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.
The next second, he adjusted the abundant power within his body and pushed it to its limit.
This time, instead of countless divine runes appearing, a misty aura was born from the Holy Ancestor's body.
The aura of immortality coalesced, and the Holy Ancestor exhaled nine streams of Immortal Power from his mouth.
The nine streams of Immortal Power immediately began to construct a rune array in the void before him, following the method Ning Qi had devised.
The Holy Ancestor had the foundation to construct divine scripts, so he wasn't unfamiliar with building rune arrays.
The only difficulty lies in understanding what his ultimate path truly is.
Every immortal cultivator, especially those from the lower realms, who has reached this stage is exceptionally talented.
He may not be able to condense the prototype of the Great Dao like Ning Qi, and he may even be somewhat unclear about which Great Dao he should follow, but he still has a vague direction.
Time passed quietly, and a light sheen of sweat appeared on the Emperor's forehead.
Finally, the rune array that had condensed in the void was quietly tinged with gold, which was the vague image of the Great Dao in his heart.
With the addition of the blurred image of the Great Dao, the entire rune array was finally successfully formed.
As the rune array was completed, it rapidly began to rotate in the void, transforming into a ring in the blink of an eye.
Within the circle, Immortal Power connected space and time, and a small celestial gate was gradually summoned.
The Immortal Sect was initially earth-colored, but it has been continuously strengthening.
It is slightly different from the immortal sects summoned by Ning Qi and Hai Zu.
The immortal gate summoned by the Holy Ancestor seemed to be inscribed with divine runes.
He continuously poured the power of the immortal talisman array into it, and the earthen-colored immortal gate finally gleamed with a bronze hue.
The bronze gate is engraved with divine inscriptions, resembling an High Antiquity bronze artifact that transcends time and space, giving it an overall magnificent feel.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu stared at the bronze divine script gate, slightly surprised.
It seems that the type of immortal sect each immortal forms is not fixed.
It seems to vary depending on the Cultivation Method practiced by the immortal.
Comparing the immortal gate condensed by the Mountain Ancestor, the one condensed by Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor, and then the one condensed before the Holy Ancestor.
The Mountain Ancestor cultivated the Divine Ability of Mount Buzhou, and the entire Immortal Sect seemed as imposing as a divine mountain.
As for the immortal gate that Hai Zu condensed, since it was her first attempt and it was Divine Ability to test the level of the immortal gate in advance, the appearance of the immortal gate did not change much.
But there is something different about it. It seems to be like the Water Moon Rules she majored in, with lines that are full of softness and beauty.
The Golden Immortal gate that Ning Qi condensed owed a great deal to that golden key; upon closer examination, it resembled the door to a treasure trove.
The Holy Ancestor's Cultivation Method were inherently unconventional, primarily based on divine script, making his immortal sect's practices extremely unique.
However, it seems that regardless of the form of the immortal gate, the colors on it are fixed.
Even though the Holy Ancestor expended the power of the Immortal Dao talisman array, it only made the bronze color of the Immortal Sect more intense; it did not transform into a silver color.
A moment later, the detected gate vanished before the three of them.
The Holy Ancestor blushed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh. It seems my level is only enough to condense a Bronze Immortal Gate."
All three were testing their immortal sect level for the first time. He hadn't expected to be so far behind, not even showing a trace of silver.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu exchanged a glance.
Hai Zu comforted him, "This is merely an immortal sect formed during the initial test of its level using immortal talisman arrays; it is not the final destiny."
Ning Qi also said, "I told you I would help you condense the Golden Immortal Gate, don't you believe me?"
The Holy Ancestor looked at the two of them, his gaze finally settling on Ning Qi.
He couldn't help but feel disappointed, because this was the testament to his life's work.
But then he thought, if he hadn't known all this before, he probably would have become an immortal without even realizing it, and wouldn't have cared about what level of immortal sect he had formed.
Moreover, with a prodigy like Ning Qi around, anything is possible.
I believe you!
"Just believe it."
Ning Qi gave the Holy Ancestor no chance to relax, and once again used the void as a wall, continuously inscribing various divine runes on it.
Both the Sea Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor were stunned as they stared at the divine inscriptions.
Because these divine runes were all those that the Holy Ancestor had previously condensed, they did not know what Ning Qi intended to do by inscribing these divine runes.
However, the two then saw Ning Qi move the inscribed divine runes aside and inscribe various Cultivation Method in the void.
What is he doing?
The Holy Ancestor had some guesses in his mind, but dared not think about it at all.
Haizu had the same reaction.
Soon after, what Ning Qi inscribed began to confirm their thoughts.
Because what was inscribed in the void was precisely the Cultivation Method they practiced!
At first, the two felt very familiar with each other, but gradually, as Ning Qi continued to inscribe the Cultivation Method, they seemed to evolve and progress under Ning Qi hands, pushing them to a more perfect state.
The two had already read the Zhou Heavenly Immortal Guidance True Scripture cultivated by the Mountain Ancestor, as well as the Taiyin Heavenly Immortal Scripture they had just obtained.
At this moment, they could clearly see the shadows of two different Cultivation Method in the evolving Cultivation Method.
Ning Qi was using those two Cultivation Method, combined with their Cultivation Method, and even the Cultivation Method he cultivated himself, to create an even more perfect Ning Qi realm Cultivation Method.
Of course, this new Cultivation Method is mainly based on divine script. Ning Qi is obviously helping the Holy Ancestor, wanting to help him first condense a Cultivation Method that can condense the Golden Immortal Gate.
Above the plaza, the shadows of the Enlightenment Tree swayed, cascading down even more power, making the three of them increasingly clear-headed and inspiring a constant flow of inspiration.
"Don't just watch, join in too!"
Ning Qi suddenly spoke, startling the two of them awake.
"Shall we join us?"
Hai Zu gazed at the constantly revised and deduced Cultivation Method, and asked uncertainly.
"Of course, human strength has its limits. No matter how much inspiration I have, I cannot achieve perfection. You two are cultivators who can become immortals, and your understanding of the world must surpass that of a young man like me."
Upon hearing this, the two knew that Ning Qi was being modest.
To modify and perfect a Cultivation Method that could lead to immortality on the spot...
They had never heard of, seen, or even dared to imagine such a thing before.
"With the combined strength of the three of us, along with the Mountain Ancestor's Zhou Heavenly Immortal Guidance Scripture, the Taiyin Heavenly Immortal Scripture, and all the Cultivation Method on this cliff face, I believe we can create a perfect Cultivation Method suitable for the Holy Ancestor."
Ning Qi kept working, guiding the two of them repeatedly.
In fact, what he did seemed quite risky to both of them.
After all, they were just cultivators from the lower realms, and it was already a stroke of luck for them to obtain a Cultivation Method that could lead them to the Immortal Realm.
However, to expect them to modify and perfect the immortal realm's cultivation Cultivation Method with their limited knowledge is simply overestimating their abilities.
However, Ning Qi, as someone who created his own cultivation system for world masters, has always been striving to improve his own Cultivation Method.
He wasn't trying to create a completely different immortal cultivation Cultivation Method himself, but rather to perfect an immortal cultivation Cultivation Method with a foundation to refer to, which wasn't that difficult for him.
Ning Qi didn't actually want to show off his skills, but he needed to break through the Rule Realm of his own realm master cultivation system. So, using existing immortal realm Cultivation Method to deduce and create would undoubtedly be beneficial for him to create his next realm master cultivation system.
Hai Zu and Sheng Zu gazed at the divine inscriptions and Cultivation Method engraved by Ning Qi.
Hai Zu's icy eyes flashed. Based on her own knowledge, she found no errors in the modified Cultivation Method Ning Qi had made.
This at least means that Ning Qi's modified Cultivation Method is feasible.
"Holy Venerable One, I have observed the Cultivation Method you practice. From what I can see, the modifications made by the Realm Lord seem to be without any problems, but only you, who have personally practiced it, can truly confirm it."
The Holy Ancestor was standing to the side; his hand, which had been stroking his beard, had been frozen there for quite some time.
He said weakly, "From what I've looked at it, there doesn't seem to be any mistake. However, there are indeed some areas where I need to participate myself to make it better."
After saying this, the Holy Ancestor actually responded to Ning Qi's reply, took a step forward, and joined Ning Qi's experiment to perfect the immortal cultivation Cultivation Method.
"Kid, how about we improve this a bit, what do you think?"
The Holy Ancestor spoke.
Hai Zu clearly sensed in Ning Qi's voice a desire for guidance.
"Interesting, isn't this a kind of philosophical discussion?"
Haizu chuckled and joined in, pointing out areas he felt could be improved.
