"I am Dao Ancient Ye Mo!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out in Qin Hao's mind.
He immediately saw an enormous figure that towered between heaven and earth appear.
That figure had nine Ancient God Star Points between his brows, nine Ancient Demon Star Points in his left eye, and nine Ancient Devil Star Points in his right eye.
The combined power of the Ancient God, Ancient Demon, and Ancient Devil clans totaled twenty-seven Star Points.
Simply standing there, he exuded an overbearing might capable of collapsing heaven and earth, as though the heavens of all ages had to submit beneath his feet.
It seemed that even heaven had to lower its head before him; even earth had to bow in worship!
This was the strength of Dao Ancient Ye Mo, already at the peak of the Third Step!
Even Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, who had created this Cave Abode Realm, was no match for Dao Ancient Ye Mo.
For that very reason, Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable had spared no expense to invite Li Guang, an expert of the Immortal Clan!
In the end, Dao Ancient Ye Mo and Dao Record Li Guang perished together.
"Holy shit, this is fucking insane!"
Qin Hao clicked his tongue. "I never expected to obtain Dao Ancient Ye Mo's inheritance."
In the Alliance Star Domain, Ancient God Tu Si was already among the most powerful experts.
With a flick of his finger, Ancient God Tu Si could destroy planets. He often extracted essence from Cultivation Stars one after another to refine treasures. He was simply a terrifying existence capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Within this star domain, only Rain Immortal Emperor Qing Lin and Nan Yunzi could suppress Tu Si.
Yet such a terrifying existence was merely the descendant of a single drop of Dao Ancient Ye Mo's blood.
Dao Ancient Ye Mo alone had founded the Ancient Three Clans.
His inheritance was absolutely one of the most powerful inheritances in the Cave Abode Realm.
"Buzz!"
Qin Hao sensed dense, purple-gold characters suddenly appearing in his mind. They shone brilliantly, like a vast galaxy of stars flickering.
These characters were extremely strange.
Though he was clearly seeing them for the first time, he could understand all their meanings.
Qin Hao realized that this was the inheritance cultivation method of the Dao Ancient lineage.
"Dao Ancient Sacred Art?"
Qin Hao examined it carefully and found that this Dao Ancient lineage cultivation method was incomplete.
What he had obtained now was only the initial-stage cultivation method.
Qin Hao thought, It seems I'll have to wait for Wang Mazi to obtain more Ancient God inheritances before I can receive more Dao Ancient Inheritance!
"Since I've already obtained the inheritance, it's time to begin cultivating the Dao Gu Cultivation Method!"
With that thought, Qin Hao recited an obscure and complicated incantation. At the same time, his hands began forming one strange seal after another.
As the cultivation method circulated, Qin Hao's immortal cultivation was continuously refined and transformed into Ancient God Qi, Ancient Demon Qi, and Ancient Devil Qi.
"If it transforms, then so be it. This body of mine is meant to focus on cultivating the Ancient Clan, while my clone will focus on the Immortal Clan!"
Qin Hao did not panic in the slightest. Instead, he circulated the cultivation method faster and faster.
He felt that he might even be able to exploit a bug through the system.
Each time he converted all of a cultivator's cultivation into Ancient Clan cultivation, once he entered a new map, his cultivation would increase again.
He just did not know whether the system would allow him to do that.
The three forces filled Qin Hao's entire body, constantly washing over it and intertwining outside his body to form a great cocoon.
Inside the cocoon, Star Vortices began condensing at Qin Hao's brow, left eye, and right eye.
"Crack, crack!"
"Bang!"
After a long while, the giant cocoon shattered, revealing Qin Hao's figure.
At this moment, a Star Vortex slowly pulsed within each of his brow and eyes.
Qin Hao looked the same as before, but his aura had changed drastically.
If the former Qin Hao had seemed ethereal and transcendent, filled with Immortal Qi—
Then the current him felt like a primordial Fierce Beast, making others shudder the moment they looked at him.
"I am now a One-star Dao Ancient!"
With a thought, Qin Hao took out the Reincarnation Fruit that Mei Ji, the Third Ancestor of the Immortal Remnant Clan, had given him earlier.
The two Reincarnation Fruits emitted dazzling golden light.
Aside from helping cultivators increase their chances of breaking through to Yin Transformation, these fruits could also aid the cultivation of the Ancient Clan.
Smearing the juice of the Reincarnation Fruit over one's entire body could produce an effect as powerful as a cultivator's Foundation Establishment.
The Ancient Clan called it Body Cleansing!
Under normal circumstances, during their childhood, members of the Ancient Clan would have adult clansmen find Spirit Fruits to cleanse their bodies.
However, Qin Hao had only begun cultivating the Ancient Clan's methods midway through his life. He was not born into a proper Ancient Clan, so he could only rely on himself.
"Bang!"
Qin Hao clenched his hand hard, crushing both Reincarnation Fruits completely. He extracted some viscous golden liquid and smeared it over his skin.
The moment the liquid entered his skin, it immediately seeped inside.
Qin Hao felt his meridians merging into his flesh and blood, while the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth increased by an unknown number of times.
"Continue!"
After completing the Body Cleansing, Qin Hao circulated the Dao Gu Cultivation Method once more.
Very soon, a second cocoon of light formed over the surface of his body.
He was about to break through to two-star and reshape his body.
The Ancient Clan focused on cultivating their bodies. Nearly all the power of heaven and earth they absorbed was used to strengthen their physical forms.
Whenever their bodies reached their limits, they had to reshape them. Only then could they withstand more of heaven and earth's power.
It could be said that the stronger an Ancient Clan member's cultivation, the stronger his body would be.
Likewise, the more times he would have reshaped his body.
The longer each member of the Ancient Clan had existed, the more times his body would have been reshaped.
For example, Ancient God Tu Si had reshaped his body eight times before ultimately becoming stuck at the ninth.
His cultivation had reached the peak of an Eight Star Royal Ancient God, making him one of the few supreme Third Step experts in the Alliance Star Domain.
Qin Hao thought, If I can reach the level of an Eight Star Dao Ancient, I should be able to instantly kill Tuo Sen!
He remembered that in the original novel, after Wang Lin became a Seven Star Dao Ancient, he possessed the combat power to kill ordinary Third Step experts.
An Eight Star Dao Ancient, even one that had only just advanced, was far more powerful than a Royal Ancient God at the peak of Eight Star.
After all, only by cultivating the Ancient God, Ancient Demon, and Ancient Devil clans together could one become a Dao Ancient.
"Crack, crack!"
After an unknown amount of time, the cocoon of light broke open again. Qin Hao had completed his second body reconstruction.
"Two-star Dao Ancient, complete!"
Qin Hao continued cultivating, beginning to convert the last of his immortal cultivation into Dao Ancient cultivation.
Unfortunately, the power required to cultivate as a Dao Ancient far exceeded that required for a single Ancient God.
Even after Qin Hao transformed his own Nascent Soul into Dao Ancient cultivation, he still failed to break through to Three Star Dao Ancient.
However, Qin Hao's cultivation had now reached the peak of two-star Dao Ancient.
In terms of combat strength alone, he was no weaker than a Three Star Royal Ancient God. His physical body alone was enough to crush ordinary Yin Transformation Experts.
The Ancient Clan, especially the Ancient Gods, were most powerful in divine abilities.
Ancient God Tu Si, for example, could destroy a Cultivation Star with a casual finger. Their bodies were so powerful that their punches and kicks were no weaker than cultivators' divine abilities.
In the past, an ordinary Eight Star Ancient God had invaded the Thunder Immortal Realm.
Bai Fan, the Immortal Emperor of the Thunder Immortal Realm, had gathered the power of the entire Thunder Immortal Realm and only then managed to kill him with great difficulty. Countless immortals perished, including even Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords.
And that Eight Star Ancient God had merely been an ordinary Ancient God, not a Royal Ancient God.
There was an enormous gap in combat power between Royal Ancient Gods and ordinary ones.
Ancient God Tu Si, an Eight Star Royal Ancient God, possessed combat power comparable to an ordinary Nine Star Ancient God.
