Sect Master Tongtian paused, then said earnestly, "What you have learned is rather diverse. Beyond the techniques, divine abilities, Sword Dao, and Formation Dao of our Supreme Pure lineage, you have also dabbled in the Elixir Dao, Artifact Dao, and Talisman Dao of your First and Second Martial Uncles. On top of that, you carry the Method of Creation passed down by Junior Sister Nuwa!"
"Man's heart is never satisfied, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. I originally thought your cultivation would progress very slowly, but I never expected that you seemed to have found a path to fuse countless methods into one!"
"Therefore, I did not interfere too much!"
"Today, you even comprehended the Innate Eight Trigrams and the Innate Way of Change, using them to fuse divine lightning. This shows that you have already taken the first steps toward forming your own Great Dao!"
"Generally speaking, before reaching the quasi-Sage realm, most cultivators focus on a single Dao. Even those with exceptional talent cultivate no more than three to five laws at once. Only when they encounter a bottleneck and can advance no further do they begin drawing on the strengths of many paths!"
"The Innate Eight Trigrams Great Dao is merely derived from the Innate Four Symbols Great Dao. Though it encompasses all phenomena, its potential is limited. It is far inferior to the Innate Way of Change you have comprehended!"
"Of course, the Refining Dao you have comprehended also possesses considerable potential!"
"My suggestion is that you choose one between the Innate Way of Change and the Innate Refining Dao as the core of your future cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing immediately nodded and said, "Master, I understand that reasoning as well, but you still have not told me how to perfect my Grand Unity Dao Fruit."
The Innate Way of Change already encompassed the Yin-Yang, Four Symbols, and Eight Trigrams Great Daos. Its potential was boundless and in no way inferior to Taiqing Laozi's Innate Taiji Great Dao.
However, Xuan Qing still intended to make the Refining Dao his core, fusing countless methods to verify his own Dao.
There was no other reason!
What cultivators feared most was being fickle and constantly changing course. Though the potential of the Refining Dao was currently inferior to the Innate Way of Change, it was the Great Dao best suited to him.
"It seems you have already made your decision!"
A master knew his disciple best. With just one look at Xuan Qing, Tongtian understood his choice.
After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "If you choose the Innate Way of Change, then cultivating under your First Martial Uncle would be the most suitable choice!"
"However..."
"If you continue to delve deeply into the Refining Dao, it is not as though there is no shortcut. I possess the Method of Refining the False into the True, which can help you swiftly comprehend many Innate Great Daos!"
As he spoke, Sect Master Tongtian waved his hand, and several hundred Innate Spiritual Treasures appeared in the void. Treasured Qi Soared to the Heavens, while all manner of Dao Charms manifested within the small space of Grand Pure Hall.
"In essence, Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Roots are equivalent to Great Golden Immortals. The Great Dao contained within every Innate Spiritual Treasure is different."
"The Method of Refining the False into the True I speak of is to first extract a trace of the Dao Charm contained within these Innate Spiritual Treasures and imprint it upon your spiritual platform!"
"Then, use the false to cultivate the true. With that trace of Dao Charm, evolve the corresponding laws within your Inner Scenery Land, and ultimately merge them into your Refining Dao laws!"
"The future achievements of your Refining Dao will depend on how many laws you merge into it!"
"However, doing so will place enormous pressure upon your primordial spirit. Furthermore, the cultivation of your Grand Unity Dao Fruit will follow a path unlike that of ordinary people!"
"From now on, I will be unable to offer you much further guidance!"
"Have you considered this carefully?"
Xuan Qing was stunned. He had not expected the path he chose to be so extraordinary that even a Sage did not know where it would lead.
But upon further thought, did encompassing all methods and fusing all Daos not resemble the path Great God Pangu had once walked?
It was simply that Great God Pangu had taken the Great Dao of Strength as the overarching principle of the Three Thousand Great Daos, while he would take the Refining Dao as his core and use the Forge of Creation to fuse many Innate Great Daos!
"There was no road in the world to begin with. Once enough people walked it, it naturally became a road!"
At this thought, Xuan Qing immediately bowed to Sect Master Tongtian. "Master, this disciple does not regret his choice. Please imprint the Great Daos of these many spiritual treasures upon me!"
"Good!"
Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily. "As expected of my disciple! If there is no road ahead, then carve one out and proceed!"
Before his words had faded, Sect Master Tongtian directly wielded the Power of the Heavenly Dao, drawing forth the Dao Charms of the many Innate Spiritual Treasures and imprinting them all upon Xuan Qing's spiritual platform.
The Four Immortal Slaying Swords radiated sword intent that soared into the heavens. Resounding Sword's Cries rang out, stirring the winds and clouds of the void.
The Water-Fire Gourd exhaled water and fire qi, transforming it into a water qilin and a fire qilin that strode through the air, spraying water and breathing flames as they demonstrated the mysteries of water and fire aiding one another within the void.
The Qingping Sword, Heart Piercing Lock, Six Souls Banner, Sun-Moon Pearl, Immortal Hiding Diagram, Reincarnation Mirror, Sea Calming Pearl, Primordial Hammer, Fishing Drum, Supreme Pure Treasure Pearl, Primordial Dust Brush...
"Hiss!"
The Dao Charms of over a hundred Innate Spiritual Treasures were imprinted upon Xuan Qing's spiritual platform at once, making him feel as though several massive mountains had suddenly been added to his primordial spirit.
These Dao Charms were as heavy as mountains, and they contended fiercely with one another. Even though he was already a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Xuan Qing's primordial spirit was seized by a tearing pain, as if countless ants were gnawing at it, wishing to rip it into a hundred pieces.
However, he had previously obtained quite a bit of Heavenly Merit. With a flash of Golden Light of Merit, the many Dao Charms were suppressed, though the pressure on his primordial spirit was not eased by much.
"Can you still endure it?"
Watching Xuan Qing grit his teeth, Sect Master Tongtian could not help revealing a trace of concern.
"It is nothing!"
Xuan Qing waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Tongtian immediately looked toward Taiqing Laozi and Primordial Lord of Heaven. "In that case, I ask eldest brother and second brother to give this brat some more pressure!"
"Good!"
Taiqing Laozi was the first to respond.
With a sweep of his sleeve, the Taiji Diagram, Qiankun Diagram, Seven Stars Sword, Banana Leaf Fan, Purple Gold Gourd, Xuandu Purple Mansion Sword, Taiqing Treasure Pearl, Coiled Dragon Crutch, Earth-Leaving Flame Light Banner, and other Innate Spiritual Treasures appeared in the void. Countless Dao Charms manifested, then turned into streams of light and merged into Xuan Qing's spiritual platform.
Primordial Lord of Heaven followed closely behind. The Pangu Banner, Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Yin-Yang School, Dragon-Tiger Seal, Void Box, Water-Fire Blade, Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, Taiji Talisman Seal, and other spiritual treasures manifested together. He then extracted a trace of Dao Charm from each, turning them into several streams of light that flew toward the center of Xuan Qing's spiritual platform.
"Thank you, First Martial Uncle!"
"Thank you, Second Martial Uncle!"
Enduring the tearing pain from his primordial spirit, Xuan Qing soothed the Dao Charms of the many spiritual treasures with Golden Light of Merit while respectfully bowing to the two Sages.
Though it hurt terribly, it was all worth it. This was the foundation for attaining the Dao. If he missed this opportunity, he would have no way to obtain the Dao Charms of so many Innate Spiritual Treasures.
"Good!"
Both men nodded.
After considering it, Primordial Lord of Heaven moved his fingertip, drawing several drops of Three Lights Divine Water from the Pure Glazed Vase. With a flick of his finger, he sent them into Xuan Qing's primordial spirit.
Xuan Qing immediately felt a surge of Power of Creation emerge, and the tearing pain in his primordial spirit lessened considerably.
"This path will be difficult to walk!"
Sect Master Tongtian continued, "You may exchange insights more often with Senior Brother Duobao, and you may also seek guidance from your Second Martial Uncle. Your Refining Dao and the methods of Artifact Refining have much in common; both require comprehending the Dao Charms within spiritual treasures!"
"Yes!"
Xuan Qing bowed once more.
"Mhm!"
Sect Master Tongtian nodded. "You may leave now! Senior Brother Duobao and your other fellow disciples also possess quite a few Innate Spiritual Treasures that I bestowed in the past. If you have sufficient energy, you may borrow them and comprehend them as well!"
Before his words had faded, he tapped Xuan Qing between the brows, transforming the Dharma Gate of Refining the False into the True into a supreme scripture and imprinting it within Xuan Qing's sea of consciousness.
Xuan Qing bowed and took his leave.
The benefits he had gained this day were impossible to measure. Whether it was merit or the Dao Charms of Innate Spiritual Treasures, all of it would aid his progress along the path of his future Great Dao!
