Demonic Dao Origin Power, Trading Treasures!

Hearing the electronic sound in his ear once more, Ye Xuan's face showed a hint of contemplation.

"Dao Path?"

Ye Xuan looked at the light screen, falling into deep thought. Completing the task would grant a mass of Demonic Dao Origin Power. If it were just one person, it would be simpler—relying on Ye Xuan's profound mastery, he could help deduce it. But twelve people? How immense was the difficulty?

After a moment of thought, Ye Xuan continued reading. If he chose to ignore it, he would instead receive the location of the Devil Ancestor's inheritance.

"The Devil Ancestor's inheritance site... wouldn't a giant hand reach out, grab me, and directly seize my body?"

The location was certainly real, but the person involved might not be. Shaking his head, Ye Xuan spoke.

"I choose the first option!"

His Dao Fruit required the Three Thousand Heavens to be perfected, which itself demanded that each great Dao encompass all phenomena before he could stand above Pangu. Seeking other supreme Daos and opening a new Dao Path was only a matter of time.

After Ye Xuan spoke, another electronic sound reached his ears.

[Ding Dong!]

[Host has chosen to trade. The Demonic Dao Origin Power will be issued to the Host upon task completion. Please check it yourself.]

Hearing this, Ye Xuan addressed Daoist Di Jiang.

"Good!"

"My own Dao also needs to be cross-verified with other Daos to reach perfection. This is something I welcome."

Seeing Ye Xuan agree, the group was overjoyed. With Ye Xuan's help, their strength could advance by leaps and bounds.

After sitting down cross-legged, Daoist Houtu was the first to ask: "By the way, Fellow Daoist, what connection is there between my Great Dao of Earth and Father God's spine?"

"The mystery of mountains lies not in height, but in bearing. The Great Dao of Earth lies not in thickness, but in carrying. It encompasses all phenomena. As for the Great Dao of Mountains, it is itself the mystery of Earth. When the two unite, bearing heaven and carrying virtue, that is the true Great Dao of Earth!"

"But I have already grasped fifty percent of the Great Dao of Earth. Yet on Mount Buzhou, I sensed not a trace of its aura?"

Seeing her confusion, Ye Xuan explained: "Mountains are the essence of Earth. As for Mount Buzhou, it is the root of all earth, the condensation of innate Earth Element Qi. Tempered a thousand times, it produces boundless gravity—this is a branch of the Great Dao of Strength. On the surface, it appears as the Great Dao of Strength, but its essence remains the Great Dao of Earth."

"Daoist Houtu, you still have a slight deficiency in the Great Dao of Earth."

Hearing this, Daoist Houtu's face showed a contemplative expression. No wonder Mount Buzhou exuded endless Pangu's pressure—it was the innate Earth Element Qi. She fell into deep thought over the essence of her Great Dao of Earth.

Seeing Daoist Houtu step back, Zhu Rong came forward to debate the Dao with Ye Xuan, expounding on the mysteries of the Great Dao of Fire. His insights into the Great Dao of Fire were no less than Daoist Houtu's. Listening to the Sound of the Great Dao emanating from his mouth, Ye Xuan was enraptured and entered secluded cultivation.

Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, after Ye Xuan entered Mount Buzhou, the Dao Ancestor ordered Haotian and the others to close the gates and begin preaching. Around him, endless purple qi rose, and the Sound of the Great Dao surrounded him.

Everyone present wore expressions of deep absorption. Seeing this, the Dao Ancestor showed satisfaction. His aura surged once more. After one Yuanhui, he could attempt to merge with the Heavenly Dao and become its sole spokesperson. Once merged, he would step above the Sage realm, into the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Gazing at the Innate God-Demons and then at Daoist Zhunti, the Dao Ancestor's eyes flickered with a strange light, but he said nothing and entered secluded cultivation.

"The Great Dao of Wood is called bending and straightening, life and death, withering and flourishing—all within it..."

"The Great Dao of Gold governs supreme killing and slaughter!"

Time passed, and another hundred thousand years went by. Ye Xuan ceased the Sound of the Great Dao, having briefly deduced a path for each Ancestral Witch, helping them establish their Dao Paths.

Moreover, among the Three Thousand Great Daos, only the Way of Space, ranked second, and the Way of Time remained beyond Ye Xuan's complete grasp. All other supreme Daos he had already mastered at least thirty percent. Within his Three Thousand Heavens, a surge of boundless mystery arose.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Ye Xuan's face was filled with joy. Simply debating the Dao with the Twelve Ancestral Witches had already yielded immense gains, and he would also receive an Innate Spiritual Treasure and a mass of Demonic Dao Origin Power.

As for the Demonic Dao Origin Power, Ye Xuan knew little about it, but it seemed related to the Devil Ancestor. He planned to inspect it after returning.

Just as Ye Xuan was pondering, an electronic sound reached his ears.

[Ding Dong!]

[Host has completed the task. A mass of Demonic Dao Origin Power is being issued. Please check it yourself.]

In the void, a divine light flashed. An extremely dark light mass, radiating endless Demonic Qi, entered Ye Xuan's hand.

The moment it appeared, the eyes of the Twelve Ancestral Witches turned bloodshot, and killing intent began to emanate from them.

"Dong!"

In an instant, Ye Xuan's Great Dao True Seed of Earth, like the true Mount Buzhou, pressed down with a single breath, dispersing their aura into nothingness. Seeing this, Zhu Jiuyin narrowed his eyes and spoke with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, your aura is truly formidable. It seems an Innate Rare Treasure has chosen its master."

"This Innate Spiritual Treasure is called the Nine Heavens Primordial Sun Ruler. It was born from a strand of innate Supreme Yang Qi during the opening of heaven, nurtured over endless ages. It can measure good and evil, and no evil can invade it. Beneath its light, even boundless Demonic Qi cannot shake one's self!"

"I believe it will be of some use to you, Fellow Daoist."

With a wave of his hand, a purple-gold jade ruler, two feet four inches long, radiating an aura of peace, entered Ye Xuan's hand.

Hearing this, the other Ancestral Witches each produced an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

In Daoist Xuanming's hand was a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure called the Mysterious Yellow Town Dragon Stele, condensed from boundless Profound Yellow Qi and the dragon vein qi of the earth at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

Each Ancestral Witch took out an Innate Spiritual Treasure and presented it to Ye Xuan.

However, among the twelve Innate Spiritual Treasures, none were Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures—most were High-grade. Looking at the new batch of Innate Spiritual Treasures in his hands, Ye Xuan's face was full of delight.

"You are all too generous. This journey has already benefited me greatly."

Hearing this, Daoist Di Jiang's face turned serious. "To be honest, we are the ones who gained the greater advantage. Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be polite. These are just some Innate Spiritual Treasures, useless to us."

Seeing the earnest expressions on the others, Ye Xuan did not stand on ceremony. After exchanging pleasantries, he took his leave, planning to search for more Innate Spiritual Treasures on Mount Buzhou and also to comprehend its mysteries.
