The sect's cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities are certainly not given away for free; otherwise, how could disciples receive the opportunity to hone their skills?

Even the "Tai Chi Three Chapters" that Master Daoist Kong Fang passed on to Zhou Hao was less a martial arts technique and more a summary of his life's insights into the Dao.

"The * Divine Firmament Dao Scripture * was written by Heavenly Court Celestial Master Sa of the Heavenly Realm," said Immortal Feng Yu. "Celestial Master Sa is one of the Four Great Celestial Masters of the Heavenly Court, and among the Pure Yang True Immortal of the Three Realms, he is also considered top-tier."

"Celestial Master Sa." Zhou Hao nodded.

This is also a Dao Sect immortal who is extremely famous in the human world and has left behind countless legends.

In the small world he entered before his transmigration, there were records of this Celestial Master Sa.

The Divine Firmament Dao left behind by Celestial Master Sa is still extremely popular today.

Zhou Hao opened the book in his hand and began to read it carefully.

With his current strength of spirit, he could memorize all the techniques in the book after just one reading.

When Zhou Hao turned to the last page, he was surprised to find that the Pure Yang Scroll was not in the book.

"Master Uncle, isn't this the complete cultivation manual? Why is it only up to the Celestial Immortal Scroll? What about the method to cultivate to the Pure Yang True Immortal level?" Zhou Hao asked in confusion.

This cost me a full 20,000 merit points. A complete Pure Yang cultivation technique should normally include methods to cultivate to the Pure Yang level, but it only goes up to the Celestial Immortal Scroll, which is clearly incomplete.

"The Pure Yang Scroll is naturally only available in the Heavenly Court of the Heavenly Realm. Once you truly become a Celestial Immortal, obtaining the final scroll will not be difficult for you, so don't worry about it."

Immortal Feng Yu smiled slightly, seemingly implying something, and then, before Zhou Hao could continue to ask, urged, "Hurry up and cultivate, refine all the essence within your innate primordial embryo. We'll be holding your advancement ceremony in three days, don't delay."

The entry of new disciples into the sect and the entry of outer disciples into the inner sect are common occurrences in the Mysterious Heaven Sect, and no grand sect ceremony is held.

Otherwise, if it were held several times a year, the immortals and Primordial Spirit Daoist within the sect wouldn't need to cultivate anymore.

Only true disciples who have been promoted are qualified to hold a sect ceremony, which is a special honor bestowed upon them by the sect.

"Um."

Zhou Hao nodded, and his Second Primordial Spirit clone began to cultivate.

The fact that the innate primordial embryo ' Asura God ' could make even Immortal Feng Yu, the sect leader, envious, specially keep Zhou Hao in the Profound Heaven Palace branch hall to cultivate and personally protect him, is naturally because it is the best vessel for the Second Primordial Spirit.

Some cultivators, upon obtaining a divine beast egg by chance, will erase the divine soul and will generated within it, and use the divine beast egg as Second Primordial Spirit vessel.

Although it was trained according to the ' Second Primordial Spirit Secret Technique ', it was essentially no different from possessing another person's body.

Possession... raises a significant problem.

Although the original soul is erased, the newly acquired soul will have a very poor compatibility with the physical body.

Even if it is a divine beast egg, after being refined into Second Primordial Spirit, even if the progress is rapid when the realm is low, in the later stages it will be unable to perfectly integrate with the physical body, thus encountering a bottleneck that is like an insurmountable chasm.

Since the primordial embryo has never had a soul, the soul that enters is as if it has been reincarnated through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and can perfectly integrate with the physical body.

Its aptitude is comparable to that of a divine beast transformed from a celestial being, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with true ancient gods and demons.

As soon as Zhou Hao began cultivating, he immediately felt the benefits of the innate primordial embryo.

Not only are his internal meridians no different from those of humans, but they are also as resilient as his divine and demonic body when he was in his Purple Mansion.

Furthermore, a torrent of essence converged, so much so that there was no need to slowly absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth; simply by refining this essence, Zhou Hao's Qi Refining realm rapidly increased.

Boom!

Within his body, it was as if the first divine thunderbolt of creation had roared, and a void Purple Mansion space was instantly born in his dantian. A large amount of blood essence was continuously transformed, and the Purple Mansion Lake also expanded rapidly.

Stars, the Mingyue, the Golden Crow... all three extraordinary phenomena appeared, and he broke through to the Myriad Phenomena True Person level in one go.

"How exhilarating!" Zhou Hao, watching from the side, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. "If only I could feel this way, I wouldn't need the Origin Liquid."

His true form is currently only at the early stage of the Myriad Phenomena, and he has not been able to advance because he lacks the Origin Liquid.

The Second Primordial Spirit, however, had been in existence for less than half an hour, and was now almost at the pinnacle of Myriad Phenomena.

It should be noted that Asura had planned for tens of thousands of years, and the abundance of his vital essence was enough to allow his true spirit to quickly recover to its peak state after entering the new body.

If one were to cultivate from the Innate Realm to the Void Return, relying entirely on absorbing Origin Liquid, it would require at least a million catties of Origin Liquid.

But Zhou Hao ended up getting a huge advantage.

"We're about to break through."

Zhou Hao closed his eyes and focused his mind on his Second Primordial Spirit, savoring the rare experience of advancing from the Myriad Phenomena to a higher realm.

Inside the body of the Asura God.

The vast and boundless void, the Purple Mansion Origin Sea is infinitely expansive.

The superiority of the Pure Yang Technique over Immortal-level Techniques is fully demonstrated in the size and depth of the Purple Mansion Origin Sea accumulated during the Purple Mansion Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Realm.

The immortal-level cultivation technique he cultivated, "The Heavenly River Record," had a limit of two thousand catties of Origin Liquid at the Purple Mansion stage, making it a rare and profound technique among immortal-level cultivation methods.

However, the limit of the <Divine Firmament Dao Scripture> at the Purple Mansion stage is four thousand catties of Origin Liquid, which is twice that of the <Heavenly River Record>.

Furthermore, due to Asura God's extraordinary divine and demonic aptitude, Zhou Hao estimated that he absorbed the equivalent of 40,000 jin of Origin Liquid's essence during his Purple Mansion.

The Myriad Phenomena Manifestations Realm absorbed nearly 500,000 jin of Origin Liquid Origin Liquid, almost matching the amount absorbed by a Perfected Primordial Spirit Daoist when breaking through to the Earth Immortal of the Void Return realm.

The avatar's Purple Mansion Origin Sea is now larger than that of the original body, after all, it has absorbed nearly 500,000 catties of Origin Liquid's essence, reaching the ultimate perfection of Myriad Phenomena.

Wow~~~

Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit appeared at the very top of the Purple Mansion Origin Sea, and with a thought...

"Rise!"

Instantly, the vast expanse of the Purple Mansion Origin Power Seawater began to frantically condense into billions of essence light points.

Then, countless points of light flew wildly upwards, until they entered the myriad stars, Moon Rabbit, and Golden Crow that were constantly moving along mysterious trajectories.

The moment all the essence points merged, the essence of the stars, the Moon Rabbit, and the Golden Crow, which had already reached their limits, suddenly transformed into beams of light that flew downwards.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thousands of beams of light, some thick and some thin, converged at the center of the entire Purple Mansion space.

A colossal creature gradually emerged from countless luminous lights and shadows; it was a strange beast with a Turtle-Snake and a snake coiled together.

After the enormous Turtle-Snake was formed, it crawled directly in the Purple Mansion space and plunged into the remaining ocean of Origin Power below.

"Boom~~~"

A monstrous wave of Origin Power surged within the Purple Mansion space. Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit, located at the highest point of the entire space, descended directly into the Turtle-Snake that resembled a giant island.

This is the final step in the Myriad Phenomena breaking through to the primordial spirit realm: ' The Turtle-Snake are formed, and the divine soul descends!'

An incomparably warm and comfortable feeling made Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit's soul within the Turtle-Snake Primordial Spirit involuntarily squint its eyes.

His soul was completely restored to its most perfect state in a short time, and he could even clearly feel that his soul was still rapidly becoming stronger and more powerful.

Why is it that many cultivators have relatively weak souls at the Myriad Phenomena level, but quickly develop divine consciousness upon reaching the Primordial Spirit Daoist level?

It is because the Turtle-Snake Primordial Spirit body has an innate effect on nurturing the 'spirit'.

"Boom~~~"

A huge golden flame suddenly appeared on the shell of the Turtle-Snake.

It is the intertwining of the Turtle-Snake, the convergence of yin and yang, that gives rise to the 'Primordial Fire,' a special technique possessed by every Primordial Spirit Daoist.

"Splash splash splash~~~"

The essence of countless stars, Golden Crow, and Moon Rabbit above the Purple Mansion continues to converge downwards. The better the Qi cultivation technique, the more profound the accumulation, and the better the effect of the first formation of the Turtle-Snake Primordial Spirit and the first gestation of the divine soul.

Zhou Hao felt incredibly comfortable, experiencing the exhilarating sensation of his soul rapidly soaring to new heights!

Western Lianghe Continent.

This continent, where most of its interior is Abyss World and the surface is entirely sealed by arrays, has a unique continuous mountain range that is not sealed by any arrays. This is the lair of the Liang Clan clan of the Profound Heaven Realm.

It has been a long-standing tradition within the Liang Clan that the reason their tribal stronghold was chosen in the Western Lianghe Continent was to guard the underground Abyss World nearby for the sect.

Only the higher-ups of the Liang Clan knew that the clan's ancestral home was located in the desolate Western Lianghe Continent simply because their ancestor lived there.

The Thunder Pool Mountain Range are a forbidden area for the Liang Clan clan; even members of the clan are prohibited from entering.

Even the weakest of the guards at the edge of the mountain range are at the Primordial Spirit Daoist stage.

Meanwhile, in the azure sky, a Greenwood Boat flew into the Thunder Pool Mountain Range. The guards of the forbidden area saw the Greenwood Boat, but none of them came to stop it.

The most beloved Fairy Nishang, the next leader of the Liang Clan clan, grew up in the forbidden area before entering the Mysterious Heaven Sect. Who would be so boring as to stop her?

Wow.

The Greenwood Boat flew along and soon arrived at a rather ordinary-looking mountain peak.

The mountain peak is surrounded by more than a dozen other peaks, forming a small basin with a diameter of several tens of miles in the middle, resembling a huge pool, in which a purple lake surges and churns.

On the edge of a mountain cliff, a man dressed in a simple light yellow robe is leisurely fishing.

Whew~~~

The Fairy Nishang descended from the sky and respectfully greeted the man in the pale yellow robes, "Ancestor."

The man fishing is none other than Patriarch Liangjin of the Liang Clan clan.

"You're back? The last time you were gone for so long was when you went to explore the Xia Clan Great World." Liang Jin Jintian turned to look at him, a faint smile on her face. "Come and sit down."

"Yes." Fairy Nishang walked over and sat down next to Liang Jin.

When she was a child, her ancestor doted on her. Often, when her ancestor went fishing, she would sit by and cultivate herself.

"Ancestor, I have retrieved the Nine Thunder Cauldron." Fairy Nishang took out the small, ancient bronze cauldron with a flick of her wrist.

"Hmm." Liang Jin Jintian reached out and took it, then tossed it into the purple lake in front of her.

Boom~~~~

As soon as the Nine Thunder Cauldron entered the purple lake, it immediately stirred up countless purple lightning snakes.

That wasn't a purple lake at all; it was a thunder lake formed by countless purple lightning bolts converging together, resembling water.

"Let the Nine Thunder Cauldron slowly recover in the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Pool. Once you reach the Earth Immortal of the Void Return, you will take control of this magic weapon," Liang Jin Jintianxian said gently.

"I will obey the Ancestor." Fairy Nishang Fairy Nishang nodded.

"What is your relationship with that disciple named Zhou Hao?" Liang Jin Jintianxian asked.

"Our relationship is pretty good. Junior Brother Zhou Hao is the most monstrous genius Nishang has ever seen; he's practically a monster. If I hadn't invited him this time, I might not have been able to come back..."

The Fairy Nishang recounted in detail how she met Zhou Hao, how she invited him, and all the way back from the fragmented world.

Liang Jin listened with great interest.

He was so lonely.

All the immortals of the Liang Clan were respectful and dared not offend him in the slightest.

The only person who could chat with me like an ordinary person fishing was Xiao Nishang.

"So, the sect's grand ceremony for his promotion to a true disciple is in three days?" Liang Jin Jintian nodded slightly, looking at Fairy Nishang, "Have you prepared any gifts to congratulate him?"

"I'm having the same problem," Fairy Nishang said, frowning. "Changsheng Brother Changsheng has obtained two treasures from Asura, and ordinary items are not presentable enough. Giving them to Origin Liquid would be the easiest option, but that would seem too vulgar."

"Could it be that you have to offer yourself up to avoid appearing vulgar?" Liang Jin teased.

"Ancestor!" Fairy Nishang blushed, embarrassed and annoyed, "That's not what I meant at all!"

"Haha, look, we were just talking about the gift, and the snake took the bait." Liang Jin Jintian suddenly raised her fishing rod and caught a snake-shaped purple lightning bolt that was about ten feet long.

"Take this Purple Lightning Serpent as a gift!"

On the other side, the Turtle-Snake Primordial Spirit of Zhou Hao's Asura God clone was still gradually expanding and growing larger.

When he had almost reached the limit of the primordial spirit realm, the essence of blood and qi contained within his body was finally completely refined.

"The primordial spirit is complete!" The enormous Turtle-Snake Primordial Spirit spoke in human language.

"It seems that because I cultivate a pure Yang technique, my foundation in each realm is incredibly solid, far exceeding Asura's estimate of the essence needed to break through to the Earth Immortal of the Void Return. My essence has been completely exhausted before I even reached the Void Return realm."

There's nothing that can be done about it. No one can fully estimate the foundation that different cultivation methods can lay, or the amount of Origin Liquid needed to break through to each realm.

Even Immortal Feng Yu only speculated that since Asura had planned for so long, it should be enough for Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit to break through to the Void Return.

But it's just a little bit off.

"It's estimated that I'll need to absorb another 400,000 to 500,000 Origin Liquid before I can reach the Void Return Realm."

Zhou Hao carefully sensed it and immediately understood.

Ah... Origin Liquid, Origin Liquid!

But what I'm lacking is Origin Liquid!
