In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years passed. After Ye Xuan finished expounding on the Dao of Quasi-Saint, Daoist Zhunti showed a trace of enlightenment and went straight into secluded cultivation, intending to bring his Dao of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal closer to perfection!
During these ten thousand years, the Demon Emperor and the others had also annexed the Immortal Court, greatly increasing their fortune. Across the Primordial World, the signs of an approaching storm had appeared once more, and the aura of the boundless Measure Tribulation churned.
However, this had nothing to do with Ye Xuan. After the Ancestor Demon self-destructed, the Endless Western Continent had lost all but one percent of its Innate Spiritual Qi, making it little better than a barbarous land. Even after the Measure Tribulation began, it would be the last place swept into it.
For Ye Xuan, improving his own strength was the most urgent matter.
After seeing Zhunti off, Ye Xuan also entered secluded cultivation, attempting to comprehend the Way of Karma.
The Power of Karma was profoundly mysterious. Every cause could give rise to an effect.
An ordinary person might spend an entire Yuanhui trying to comprehend it and still learn only a trace of its mysteries.
However, thanks to the Three Yuan Dao Proving Corpse Slaying Secret Record, Ye Xuan grasped it all at once. Although he had yet to comprehend the power within it, it had already merged into his primordial spirit. Within half a Yuanhui, he would be able to wield it freely.
After ten thousand years of day-and-night study, Ye Xuan had mastered one-tenth of the power of the Law of Karma.
Moreover, from within this Supreme Great Dao, he had derived a Supreme Great Divine Ability.
It was called Seek Cause Determine Effect!
In a nutshell, Ye Xuan first settled on an effect, then chose a cause. Once he completed the cause, the effect would be achieved as well. It was an incomparably overbearing divine ability.
If Ye Xuan had an offensive technique in hand, he could use this ability to unleash it. Once it struck, it would shatter his opponent's True Spirit without fail. Furthermore, after landing a hit, it could enhance the power of his offensive technique even further.
This divine ability could also be used in the Realm of Sages. It was likewise a Supreme Great Divine Ability.
"Tong Xuan Dao Chapter..."
This Supreme Great Divine Ability came from the Three Yuan Dao Proving Corpse Slaying Secret Record. If the Path of Three Corpses were not so heaven-defying, Ye Xuan could have merged all three of his corpses into his Dao Fruit in one go, repeating the process until he had mastered all Three Thousand Great Daos.
However, even though this method of becoming a Sage only allowed him to entrust his Dao to three corpses, it was already incredibly powerful. With just a little thought, Ye Xuan could see how formidable Seek Cause Determine Effect was.
As long as he possessed an inexhaustible supply of the Power of Karma, he could even gain an extra tenth of a chance of success when becoming a Sage.
"Three Corpses Unification will surely lead to sainthood!"
After realizing this, Ye Xuan's face was filled with shock. And this was only a single Good Corpse. He still had a Second Corpse and a Self Corpse, each of which could be entrusted with a Supreme Great Dao.
Just as he was thinking, another electronic sound rang in his ear.
[System notification!]
[It has been detected that ten thousand years from now, the Dao Ancestor will impart the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method in the Purple Cloud Palace and expound on the Dao of Quasi-Saint for thirty thousand years. Host, please choose from the options below.]
[Option One: Go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao. Complete the task to receive the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the foremost of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots!]
[Option Two: Ignore it and remain safely in seclusion. Complete the task to receive a cluster of Essence of Innate Wutu Soil.]
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan didn't even pause to think before replying.
"I choose option two. Ignore it!"
He was already a Quasi-Sage. Why would he need to go to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao? And he already possessed the complete Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method. Why would he care for a fragment?
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another electronic sound rang in his ear.
[System notification!]
[Host has chosen to ignore it. Essence of Innate Wutu Soil is being delivered. Please check it yourself.]
A flash of divine light shimmered in the void, and a clump of soil containing boundless vitality appeared in Ye Xuan's hand. It was none other than the Essence of Innate Wutu Soil.
Among Innate Divine Soils, the Essence of Innate Wutu Soil was yang in nature. It contained boundless vitality and held countless profound mysteries.
It could also help nurture Innate Spiritual Roots.
"Excellent!"
Ye Xuan swept his hand, and the cluster of Essence of Innate Wutu Soil merged into the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, joining it in nurturing the Innate Gourd Vine.
With its boundless vitality, the Innate Gourd Vine let out a rumble, and endless Innate Divine Light shimmered across it.
Seeing that it had some effect on the Innate Gourd Vine, Ye Xuan was pleased and returned to secluded cultivation.
A thousand years later, after meeting Ye Xuan once, Zhunti took his leave and headed for the Purple Cloud Palace.
Seeing that Zhunti was leaving, Ye Xuan gave a slight nod. After seeing him off, another electronic sound rang in his ear.
[System notification!]
[It has been detected that the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others have already been born. Having heard that the Dao of Quasi-Saint will be imparted in the Purple Cloud Palace, they are also heading there. Host, please choose from the options below.]
[Option One: Stop the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others from entering the Purple Cloud Palace. Complete the task to receive the Method of Becoming a Saint through Physical Body, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique!]
[Option Two: Ignore them and allow the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others to listen to the Dao. Complete the task to receive an Innate Spiritual Root, a Five-Leaf Pine Needle!]
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan fell into thought. If he stopped the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others, he would receive a method for becoming a Saint through the physical body. It had nine layers, and after nine cycles, the power of one's physical body alone would rival that of a Sage.
If the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the others were his only concern, Ye Xuan could certainly handle them.
They didn't have the Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Formation. Each of them was merely at Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection.
As for Ye Xuan, he had already entrusted one of his corpses to the Dao, and it was a Primordial Golden Immortal.
However, after thinking it over, Ye Xuan still said,
"I choose option two. Ignore them!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were only at Grand Unity Golden Immortal Perfection, but in the future, they would become twelve Quasi-Sage powerhouses. And working together, they could even summon the Pangu True Body.
A method for becoming a Saint was just a method. It wasn't worth getting himself caught up in a Great Tribulation. Besides, the Five-Leaf Pine Needle contained a Five Elements Dao, which would also benefit his Three Thousand Heavens.
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another electronic sound rang in his ear.
[System notification!]
[Host has chosen to ignore them. The Five-Leaf Pine Needle is being delivered. Please check it yourself.]
"Boom!"
A field of Five-Colored Cloud Mist appeared in the void, and amid boundless Great Dao divine light, an Innate Pine Wood appeared in Ye Xuan's hand.
It bore thirty enormous fruits. Each fruit contained boundless innate Five Elements Dao resonance. Once swallowed, it could form a Great Dao True Seed of Five Elements power within the physical body.
He could also use it to comprehend the Way of Five Elements. This would be of some benefit to Ye Xuan as he perfected his Three Thousand Heavens.
Looking at the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure he had gained, Ye Xuan was overjoyed. With a sweep of his hand, he sent it into his Three Thousand Heavens, where it joined the Innate Gourd Vine in stabilizing them and bringing them closer to perfection!
