Personal Disciple of the Daoist Three Pure Ones (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Those who cultivate the path of the Universe Chaos Stele as a King-level fighter primarily excel in dual-cultivation.

Simultaneously comprehending the essence of time and space, or grasping a major category of either, provides an incredibly heaven-defying boost to combat power.

"Many thanks, Elder Yan." What Wu Yun truly wanted was to possess a special life form or obtain a secret amplification technique; he felt the Blood Luo Continent must surely possess such things.

Setting aside the inheritance of God Generals and God Envoys, there were still other methods of amplification within the universe.

However, the way the Blood Luo Continent nurtured its younger generation differed from the human race; they believed that while Wu Yun was at the World Lord stage, he only needed to improve his comprehension of the Dao.

As for possessing a special life form, that could be done before becoming an Immortal.

Amplification techniques? Isn't that a waste of time for a World Lord? It would be better to use that time to comprehend the Dao; after all, Elder Yan did not think Wu Yun needed to fight anyone.

"Elder Yan, does our clan have any special life forms available for possession?" Wu Yun scratched his head. "I saw in the archives that some special life forms have very high genetic levels."

Mentioning special life forms, Elder Yan's expression grew solemn. After a long while, he sighed: "There were some with high genetic levels in the past, but there are none now. However, the clan can find you a life form capable of creating clones."

Clones are not considered a particularly heaven-defying talent in the Primal Universe.

The Golden Horned Beast has them, as do many special life forms. To maintain balance, special life forms with high genetic levels rarely possess this talent.

Yet, those special life forms with average genetic levels often have the talent for cloning, such as the Boxue Vine of Lord Fannuo, and even Chaos City Lord has clones.

"Then I will trouble you, Elder Yan. Please let me know if there are any possessable special life forms." Wu Yun said solemnly, "If I have clones, my future strength will be even greater."

The Blood Luo Continent itself is located within the Primordial Secret Realm, a vast continent birthed in the very early stages; it is not strange that it has a stock of special life forms.

The vast majority of special life forms are nurtured within secret realms.

Wu Yun did not ask about amplification techniques; he was not in a hurry. Once he becomes an Immortal God in the future, he will surely be able to come into contact with the deeper secrets of the Blood Luo Continent.

His main body returned to the Giant Axe Secret Realm and settled down; it was a vast, endless void containing hundreds of millions of star fragments.

Normal members of the Giant Axe Secret Realm often visit one another; after all, their strength is similar, and being from the same batch, they will surely have many intersections in the future.

But Wu Yun had been back for several years, and neither in the Virtual Universe nor in reality had anyone come to visit him.

In their eyes, Wu Yun was a member who would be eliminated sooner or later, perhaps eventually rolling down to the lowest-level secret realm to linger on the periphery of the core layer.

Who would want to spend time befriending such a person?

Swish!

After a brief spatial fluctuation, Wu Yun appeared directly in another corner of the manor. He combined the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to comprehend the laws of space, and his progress was ridiculously fast.

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is, in itself, a Great Dao of space.

"Teleportation requires catching spatial fluctuations, and the void-traversing of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth follows the same principle, but the structures of the two differ."

Wu Yun had already begun to study the major category of teleportation.

As long as one comprehends teleportation and is acknowledged by the laws of space, that is King-level insight. If one can comprehend teleportation to the point of ultimate perfection, they are generally at the peak of the King level.

A small number of high-level Kings also possess this level of insight.

Wu Yun had ample patience. The Giant Axe Arena had given him a thousand years to develop before he would go out for training, so he planned to challenge the Heavenly Bridge only at the very end.

His two clones advanced in tandem. Fifteen years later, the Blood Luo clone had fully comprehended the essence of time and began to study the major category of time suspension.

His main body was immersed in the laws of space. He did not take action in the Virtual Universe on a daily basis, nor did he have any interaction with outsiders, and many were already forgetting him.

In the long river of time, there were too many people like Wu Yun. Like a drop of water falling into the ocean, the ripples he stirred were insignificant and would soon disappear.

Even if he became an Immortal in the future, he would likely be like Ka Wei, serving as a branch member, muddled for hundreds of millions of years, perhaps managing to become a Marquis.

Soon, nearly a thousand years passed.

In the Desolate Era world, the deadline given by the Three Pure Ones had arrived. Wu Yun walked out of the courtyard calmly and said confidently, "Please, Dao Ancestor, test my current strength."

There were many living beings cultivating within Three Pure Ones Mountain, but they were all human.

The weakest among them were only at the level of Primordial Spirit Daoists, while the outstanding ones were even Pure Yang True Immortals.

Wu Yun's voice was resonant, immediately attracting many to look over. Those Pure Yang True Immortals who had great reputations in the Three Realms all knew that they would likely be gaining a new junior brother.

One of the clones of the Three Pure Ones descended; it was Lingbao Heavenly Venerable from the myths.

"You have cultivated in Three Pure Ones Mountain for a thousand years. Have you become a Pure Yang True Immortal by comprehending the Great Dao, or has your combat power reached the level of a Pure Yang True Immortal?" Daoist Three Pure Ones asked.

Becoming a Pure Yang True Immortal causes no disturbance; if not made public, even the Lord of Heart Demons cannot spy on it. Only Pure Yang mana cannot be concealed.

Wu Yun had not taken any action over these years, so the Three Pure Ones did not know whether he had become a Pure Yang True Immortal or if his combat power had simply reached that level.

"Reporting to the Dao Ancestor, I have combined the Great Dao and comprehended a move called Light-Dark Samsara, reaching the level of a Pure Yang True Immortal." After Wu Yun finished speaking, he took out over a hundred immortal-grade long staves.

These hundred-plus immortal-grade staves were bought in Great Xia; they could form a staff formation with astonishing power.

In the Qi Refining Path, most attack methods are formations, such as the Absolute Immortal Sword Realm of Tonghe Heavenly Immortal, the Great Thousand Sword Formation of Ji Ning, the Three Absolutes Sword Formation of Three Absolutes Sword Ancestor, and the staff formation of Fuxi.

There were 108 long staves in total, with 54 in the north and 54 in the south. The north radiated infinite darkness, while the south flowed with hundreds of millions of rays of light; the light and darkness shrouded three hundred miles.

"Attack me with all your might." Daoist Three Pure Ones blinked; he felt Wu Yun's design was quite ingenious, and its power might be even greater than he had imagined.

"Yes." Wu Yun circulated the mana in his body, and the Light-Dark Samsara began to gradually shrink. During this shrinking process, the light and darkness also began to fuse.

The conception of this move was inspired by the Samsara Sword Dao of Ji Ning during his Ultimate Emperor period.

The fusion of light and darkness is the Samsara Sword Dao.

Wu Yun's technique was inferior to the Samsara Sword Dao by an immeasurable margin, yet the essence of the Great Dao remained the same; it was merely a difference in level, much like how the same Blood Drop Style would differ vastly between a Fourth Step Dao Lord and a First Step Dao Lord.

However, no matter how great the gap, the core of the move remained unchanged; what increased was the power and the profundity.

The Streamer Great Dao was, in fact, the Light Great Dao; it simply bore a different name in the Three Realms, and in some Chaos Worlds, light could even serve as the Heavenly Dao.

Wu Yun had spent the previous several hundred years comprehending the Darkness Great Dao, and finally, he had spent over two hundred years creating his own technique.

Darkness was chosen for its erosive nature, while light was chosen for its searing intensity; when combined, they could become endless, capable of severing anything and destroying all obstacles.

The blade edge tore through the void, touching the fingertip of Daoist Three Pure Ones, before dissipating into smoke and clouds.

"Not bad, this move already possesses the threshold combat power of a Pure Yang True Immortal," Daoist Three Pure Ones said with satisfaction. "Among the current Heavenly Immortals of the Three Realms, your comprehension is considered high. I shall accept you as my personal disciple."

It was nearly at the level of a Pure Yang True Immortal, though still a distance away from the threshold, which was why Daoist Three Pure Ones was pleasantly surprised enough to take Wu Yun as a personal disciple.

For a Heavenly Immortal, reaching this stage was essentially the limit, unless Wu Yun, through some stroke of luck, comprehended a third-level power, which would allow him to truly rival a Pure Yang True Immortal.

For instance, combining third-level Light Power with third-level Darkness Power.

Under normal circumstances, one would first master the Great Dao before comprehending powers like Sword Power or Time Power; Ji Ning was an exception only because of his experience in the Domain of Nirvana.

Wu Yun did not expect himself to comprehend such things while still a Heavenly Immortal, though Heart Power was a slight possibility.

"Master, please accept your disciple's bow." Wu Yun immediately performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony; being accepted as a personal disciple by Daoist Three Pure Ones was truly unexpected.

Daoist Three Pure Ones was extremely selective, and only someone with Wu Yun's level of talent could barely catch his eye.

To be considered a monster, one would have to be at the level of Ji Ning, who reached the threshold of a Celestial God True Immortal while still in the Void Refinement stage, which was the only way top-tier Dao Ancestors would take the initiative to accept a disciple.

"Follow me." As soon as Daoist Three Pure Ones finished speaking, Wu Yun felt the space around him shift, and he soon arrived inside a magnificent hall, where he was immediately greeted by the scent of pills.

Looking closely, several Daoist acolytes were refining pills below in the hall; the pill furnace was a hundred feet tall, emitting curling wisps of fragrance.

Even those acolytes refining the pills were at the Heavenly Immortal level.

"The secret manuals and ultimate techniques I have left behind were all created by practitioners of my Daoist Sect," Daoist Three Pure Ones said slowly, sitting on the main seat. "The fact that you could cultivate using those manuals proves that you have an affinity with my Daoist Sect."

The cultivation methods of the Daoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect were vastly different.

In essence, the difference lay in how they expounded upon the Dao.

Wu Yun cultivated Daoist secret manuals very quickly, but if he were to look at the secret manuals and ultimate techniques created by the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the Buddhist Sect, he would likely be completely lost.

Some Buddhist secret manuals were extremely demanding of one's benevolent heart.

"Without the Daoist secret manuals that Master left for me, I would never have been able to comprehend the Light-Dark Samsara technique," Wu Yun replied humbly.

"The number of Heavenly Immortals who have cultivated on Three Pure Ones Mountain must be at least in the millions."

Daoist Three Pure Ones said softly, "Talent is talent; there is no need for false modesty. You are the seventy-second personal disciple under my tutelage, and currently the only one who is a Heavenly Immortal."

Wu Yun listened obediently without interrupting.

"There are not that many living disciples left; you still have fifty-three senior brothers and sisters." Daoist Three Pure Ones felt a touch of melancholy when mentioning this. "During that great catastrophe in the ancient era, countless Celestial God True Immortals perished. Although there is peace now, there may be crises in the future."

Daoist Three Pure Ones was born a Chaos True God, and before the arrival of the Wujian Chaos World, he had once committed suicide to reincarnate, comprehending the opposing Heavenly Dao, which caused his strength to skyrocket to the leader level.

During the ancient era, Daoist Three Pure Ones had also taken in some disciples, but unfortunately, many of them died in that great catastrophe.

"Will there be crises in the future?" Wu Yun feigned ignorance. "Does the crisis come from within the chaos?"

"You will know once you cultivate to become a True God Dao Ancestor." Daoist Three Pure Ones smiled and changed the subject. "After entering my sect, I hope your strength will continue to grow."
