A Fragment of Supreme Treasure, The Dao Path Revealed

Even though he had already guessed, the moment he fully confirmed what lay in his hand, Donghua's Dao Heart trembled violently!

"It really is the Jade Disk of Creation Fragment!"

The fragment in his palm was less than a thousandth of the original Jade Disk of Creation, yet the primal Dao resonance of the Principles of Heaven and Earth it bore could not be faked.

As Donghua began to refine this Jade Disk of Creation Fragment, the abilities of this supreme treasure's remnant naturally surfaced in his mind.

Upon it were engraved the laws of Dao resonance. When his Divine Sense probed into it, he could directly glimpse the primordial form of the Heaven and Earth Laws.

Though merely a fragment, it was after all a Primordial Chaos Supreme Treasure. Its rank was supremely high, capable of disturbing the celestial order and severing karmic ties.

When cultivating, this object could guard the Spiritual Platform, rendering the Dao Heart clear as a mirror. Then, deducing Cultivation Methods or creating divine abilities would all be as if aided by the Great Dao itself—twice the result with half the effort.

Donghua's thoughts raced, countless connections surging into his mind.

For Hongjun to attain the status of Dao Ancestor and wield the Heavenly Dao, this treasure must have played a pivotal role.

Perhaps... that later world-shaking method of Severing Three Corpses to attain the Dao was a supreme mystic art he deduced through the Jade Disk of Creation.

At this thought, his gaze fell back to the fragment in his hand, understanding dawning.

It seemed that even someone as mighty as Hongjun had failed to gather it whole, only finding most of its pieces. Otherwise, how could this object have ended up here, for him, Donghua, to obtain?

Though this object could shroud celestial secrets and sever karma, Hongjun would ultimately attain sainthood.

The Jade Disk of Creation was suspected to be Hongjun's treasure for attaining the Dao. Would it still be able to evade his perception by then? And if he detected it, would he personally act to reclaim it?

Just as Donghua's thoughts churned, the Jade Disk of Creation Fragment in his palm suddenly blazed with pure radiance. A warm, gentle light spilled like quicksilver, instantly enveloping his entire body.

A cool Dao resonance pierced straight into his Spiritual Platform, washing away all doubt and worry.

Donghua was momentarily stunned, then clarity and sharp light returned to his eyes. He couldn't help but laugh at himself:

"I was too attached. Future variables are pointless to dwell on. This object is in my hands now, so it shall serve me!"

Donghua composed his mind, sinking all his consciousness into the Jade Disk of Creation Fragment, seeking to uncover what laws and Dao resonance were engraved within it.

"Ah, what a pity."

Opening his eyes, sensing the Lesser Yang Law and Time Law contained within, Donghua couldn't help but sigh.

"This trip's gains are already considerable. I must not be greedy."

According to Donghua's original plan, the Primordial Violet Qi in the Purple Cloud Palace had limited opportunity and deep karma. He had almost no chance of touching it.

His only path was to endure in silence, surviving the raging torrent of the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation, and after the calamity passed, scheme for the position of Lord of the Heavenly Court, walking the old road that Di Jun had failed to complete.

Yet the warm Jade Disk of Creation Fragment in his palm had illuminated a brand-new path to the heavens before him!

Law Proving Dao—that was the highest, yet most difficult, path to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

This method relied on nothing external, borrowed no merit. It depended entirely on one's own comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Laws to reach the state of Perfected Origin.

In the past, this road was endlessly long, almost a dead end.

But now, feeling the unmistakable Lesser Yang Law and Time Law within the fragment, Donghua's Dao Heart trembled violently.

Once, his only thought was to snatch a thread of life in the coming Witch-Demon Great Tribulation and barely survive.

But now, this Jade Disk of Creation Fragment in his palm had illuminated that supreme, unobstructed road pointing straight to the origin, proving the Dao of Origin, with perfect clarity!

Donghua stared at the object in his palm. The confusion in his eyes from before had completely vanished, leaving only the resolute determination of one who had seen through all laws and found the true path.

"My Dao... lies here!"

Without any further hesitation, after collecting the spiritual treasures on Penglai Immortal Island, Donghua held the Jade Disk of Creation Fragment and entered cultivation.

Entering a state of enlightenment, Donghua began to organize his cultivation path.

In the Primordial Wilderness, realms were divided into five grades.

The beginning of the Immortal Dao lay in the True Spirit never slumbering. As long as a single spark of True Spirit remained undying, even if the Primordial Spirit scattered and the Immortal Body crumbled, one could spend years and resources to reconverge a Dao Body. This was the start of longevity, called the True Immortal.

Next, one needed to form divine abilities of their own, opening a cave heaven within the body, first displaying the power of creation. This was the Mystic Immortal.

Only after condensing an indestructible immortal nature could one share the lifespan of heaven and earth, shine alongside the sun and moon. This was true eternal life, called the Golden Immortal.

Refining the Five Qi in the chest and gathering the Three Flowers atop the head, achieving the perfect, leakless unity of essence, energy, and spirit—this was the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

Comprehending laws, transcending from the River of Fate, becoming unique across past, present, and future—this was the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Between each major realm, one could be subdivided into four minor stages: early, middle, late, and peak.

Because Hongjun had not yet attained sainthood and spread the Dao, naturally there were no terms like Quasi-Saint or Saint after the Great Luo Realm.

Given that the current cultivation heritage of the Primordial Wilderness stopped at the Great Luo Golden Immortal, Donghua combined his past-life memories with his present experience and named the cultivation path "Immortal," with its realm system naturally ending at the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Of course, for Donghua at this moment, it was already sufficient.

Though some beings had already broken this barrier—the Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and Beginning Qilin, who once dominated the Primordial Wilderness, had forcibly stepped into a mysterious realm beyond Great Luo by commanding heaven and earth, gathering boundless fortune and merit—unfortunately, their method was not applicable to all beings.

It was not until the future, when Hongjun lectured at the Purple Cloud Palace and passed down the method of Severing Three Corpses, that the myriad beings of the Primordial Wilderness could glimpse a clear and stable path to the heavens. Only then did experts beyond Great Luo emerge like bamboo shoots after spring rain.

Having clearly mapped out the road ahead, Donghua sank his mind and began to comprehend the Lesser Yang Law.

This law shared the same origin as the Pure Yang Law he had originally cultivated, with considerable similarities. It was the best choice for an entry point.

If Donghua had relied on his original foundation and comprehension, simultaneously cultivating both the Pure Yang and Lesser Yang Laws as his main focus, he would inevitably have walked a difficult path, with bottlenecks arising at every turn—an unbroken chain of insurmountable barriers.

The path of cultivating multiple laws simultaneously offers remarkably significant improvements in strength, far surpassing those of the same cultivation level, yet few cultivators dare to attempt it.

This is because the Way of Laws is profound and obscure, making cultivation inherently difficult.

Moreover, from the moment many Innate Divine Beings are born, they are already accompanied by a destined law—this is a naturally formed foundation of the Dao.

Thus, a consensus has gradually formed in the Primordial Wilderness: choose one law as the primary focus, with all others serving as supplements.

If one possesses extraordinary comprehension, they may, while focusing on their main law, reference and verify the mysteries of other laws, drawing parallels by analogy—this naturally yields boundless benefits.

If one's ability falls short, they should act within their limits, devoting their heart and mind solely to deepening their own path.

After all, splitting the Dao into two branches is a great taboo.

When the mind scatters and thoughts wander, the Great Dao becomes difficult to achieve—this is an unchanging truth that has held for ten thousand ages.

Fortunately, with the aid of this treasure, if he can smoothly integrate and fully comprehend the two laws of Pure Yang and Lesser Yang, his combat power will undergo a qualitative leap.

By then, facing the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation that sweeps across heaven and earth, his chances of surviving that calamity will also increase considerably.
