Shock, the True Form of the Lord of Myriad Demons!
Inside the Jade Void Palace.
After the initial excitement and elation subsided, the Sanqing held the jade slip as if on a pilgrimage, their minds completely immersed in the World Realm cultivation techniques passed down within it.
Zhou Hao stayed by his side quietly.
He understood his master's excitement and elation.
He searched desperately for over a chaotic era, but without the guidance of a higher-level cultivation method, he could not find a way forward and could only stagnate in place.
Now we finally have a guide for the future... It is only because Master's Dao heart is strong enough that he was able to calm down so quickly. If it were an ordinary cultivator, he probably wouldn't even be able to calm his mind for more than a few hours.
Time passed...
The Sanqing remained immersed in this state for more than three hours.
"Changsheng." The Sanqing suddenly opened their eyes, their gazes filled with excitement as they looked at Zhou Hao. "I feel... I feel like I'm about to break through."
"Master, are you telling the truth?" Zhou Hao asked, equally excited.
Although he had great confidence in his master, after all, the fact that he could comprehend two opposing Heavenly Dao without any guidance, and that with the foundation of a third-level Ancestor Immortal, he could rival Ancestor God and become a powerful leader in the Three Realms, was enough to demonstrate the Sanqing ' innate talent, comprehension, and realm of Dao.
Zhou Hao hadn't expected it to happen so quickly; his master was about to break through to the next level right after he received the inheritance.
"Haha, I just feel that I'm about to break through, and I've had many inspirations about the primordial forces such as Yin and Yang, Taiji Power, Limitless Power," the Sanqing laughed. "But it's hard to say when I can truly transform the 'Dao Seed' I've condensed into a ' Dao Tree ' and step into the World Realm."
"It's good to have inspiration." Zhou Hao nodded excitedly. "The core of this set of Spirit Resonance World Scripture is 'a meeting of minds.' As long as you have inspiration and study it carefully, with your master's accumulation, becoming Chaos Immortal in the World Realm will be a natural outcome."
The "Spirit Resonance World Scripture" is the World Realm inheritance that Zhou Hao recorded in the jade slip.
In the Endless Territories, anything that can be named 'Scripture' is invariably a perfectly complete lineage.
Just like the "Void Chaos Hole Scripture" that he obtained, it was also named after a 'scripture'.
The Spirit Resonance World Scripture contains not only methods for refining Qi and body, but also numerous secret techniques, supernatural powers, and even exquisite tips for using various magical and divine powers. These techniques have been supplemented by generations of World God and Chaos Immortal, and have gathered the wisdom of countless immortals and demons, which is how this inheritance came about.
This set of <Spirit Resonance World Scripture> inheritance is the strongest and most outstanding among the complete inheritances that Zhou Hao found in the Dao Treasury Hall Void Holy City. It was originally the family inheritance of ' Spirit Resonance Dao Lord ', a follower under the Starry Sky Holy Lord.
It was Spirit Resonance Dao Lord's family that was wiped out. He was subdued by the Starry Sky Holy Lord when he was in the World Realm. Later, the Starry Sky Holy Lord helped him avenge his family and then stored his most important family heritage in the Dao Treasury Hall for the disciples under the Starry Sky Holy Lord to study.
Under normal circumstances, such a top-tier, perfected World Realm inheritance would be passed down even to a disciple of the Starry Sky Holy Lord, who would then make the disciple swear an oath never to pass it on.
But the Starry Sky Holy Lord had long since perished. All his arrangements before his death were for his own legacy, so he had no time to care about the legacy of his other subordinates in the Dao Treasury Hall.
Therefore, only certain methods and supernatural abilities that are unique to the Starry Sky Holy Lord lineage or that are easy to expose one's identity are subject to the restriction of passing on by means of a life oath. This <Spirit Resonance World Scripture> inheritance is not among them.
"Changsheng!" Sanqing looked at Zhou Hao with excitement. "My hope for a breakthrough is all thanks to you. This makes me..."
"Could it be that my success today is not due to Master's efforts?" Zhou Hao quickly interrupted with a smile, "If it weren't for Master, I'm afraid I would still be struggling in the mortal world. Master has helped me achieve what I have, so naturally I must repay Master now that I have succeeded."
"Good disciple, good disciple!" Overwhelmed with emotion, Sanqing felt his eyes sting and was on the verge of tears.
In his pursuit of a breakthrough, he even committed suicide, risking eternal damnation, to reincarnate as a true spirit, which led to his current status as a leader of the Dao Sect.
But as time went on, he was still unable to break through again, and he couldn't even see where the road ahead lay.
After all, Nuwa, who achieved the highest level of enlightenment in the Three Realms, traversed the path from god to demon to become World God. However, no one knew how to break through the Qi Refining path.
If it weren't for the existence of the Wujian Gate in the Three Realms and the unresolved Chaos Alien in the Ancient Ruins, the Sanqing Ones would probably have left the Three Realms long ago, like Nuwa, to pursue a higher path to power in the endless chaos.
"Changsheng, is there any restriction on the inheritance of this <Spirit Resonance World Scripture>? Rulai and the three human emperors have also been struggling without guidance and have been unable to advance further. If possible, I would like to pass on some of its methods to them, so that at least they know where the path ahead lies." The Sanqing Ones spoke solemnly.
Extend your own feelings to others.
Now that they see hope for a breakthrough, the Sanqing Ones naturally cannot forget their old brothers in the same camp.
Sanqing thought Zhou Hao wouldn't refuse.
Rulai, Buddha had imparted all his lifelong insights into palm techniques and protective supernatural powers to Zhou Hao, thus Zhou Hao had received the grace of being his teacher, and could be considered a half-master.
The three human emperors were the ancestors of the human race, and they favored Zhou Hao greatly. They even went to great lengths to prepare foundational treasures for his two children. It was only right and proper for them to provide him with some Qi cultivation methods.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Hao shook his head after a moment's thought, "Because I was afraid of worrying Master, there is something I didn't tell you before. Three years ago, while I was wandering through the Ancient Ruins, I discovered several powerful alien beings who had never appeared before, and two of them were even at the top Ancestor God level."
"A top-tier Ancestor God?" The Sanqing were shocked and immediately asked, "Then what about your true form?"
"I'm fine." Zhou Hao then recounted the entire incident of being ambushed in the Ancient Ruins.
Because the Void Sea involved the Void Holy City, Zhou Hao vaguely glossed over it, only saying that in order to escape the encirclement, he broke into a dangerous place and instead obtained the inheritance left by an ancient great being in the chaos before the birth of the ancient Pangu World.
"The Chaos Alien throughout the entire Ancient Ruins have all been subdued by that alien Ancestor God who calls himself the ' Cixiu Demon God of Thorns.' And judging from their servile and loyal appearance, I guess that the Great Cixiu God of Thorns might have a 'Life Oath Stone,' which forced those Chaos Alien to make a life oath, which is why they are so loyal," Zhou Hao said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Sanqing's expression changed.
"I had my suspicions when my disciple's method for advancing to the Golden Core was leaked last time. After seeing the Great Demon God of Cixiu and his powerful servants in the Ancient Ruins, my suspicions only deepened," Zhou Hao analyzed.
"Given the strength of the Great Demon God Cixiu and his minions, even the most powerful leaders of our Three Realms would find it difficult to escape unscathed. If they were captured and forced by the Great Demon God Cixiu to swear a life-bound oath, then..."
Although he didn't say what came next, the Sanqing, who had received the inheritance of the World Realm, understood.
Once a practitioner makes a vow, they must obey it; otherwise, their true spirit will collapse and they will die.
But Rulai Buddha and the Three Sovereigns of Humanity truly be forced by foreign races to betray the Three Realms?
The Sanqing pondered silently.
The atmosphere inside the hall suddenly became oppressive.
"I don't believe that Rulai and the Human Emperor were coerced by foreign races." The Sanqing Ones spoke slowly and solemnly. "Changsheng, you haven't known them for long. Rulai Suiren-shi would absolutely risk their lives for the Three Realms and for our entire race. This is something my master witnessed firsthand in the countless ancient battles against foreign invasions, and he would never doubt it."
"But Master, don't forget that besides the Life Oath Stone, there are even more mysterious mental power cultivators in the endless chaos." Zhou Hao continued, "In the chaos, Ancestor God Ancestor Immortal are often controlled and enslaved by powerful mental power cultivators. Since there are top-tier Ancestor God like the Great Demon God of Cixiu lurking in the shadows, it's hard to say that there aren't other stronger alien races hiding in the Three Realms."
During his three years of secluded cultivation and enlightenment, after his true self perused countless chaotic scriptures in the Void Holy City, Zhou Hao's vision and knowledge were far beyond what they used to be. His Dao realm also soared rapidly after his true self stepped into the Ancestor Immortal, and his perception of destiny in the dark became increasingly acute.
Zhou Hao always felt that behind this catastrophe in the Three Realms, besides the Wujian Gate, there was an invisible force silently pushing things along.
The Sanqing were speechless.
Although the transmission messages of the <Spirit Resonance World Scripture> do not contain cultivation methods for the mental power system, it mentions the mysterious and unpredictable mental power practitioners many times.
Because mental cultivators cultivate the ethereal path of the mind, they are vulnerable to many unseen and mysterious methods. Even those with higher levels of strength in the Divine Demon path and the Qi Refining path are not immune to being ambushed. Therefore, what Zhou Hao said is not without reason.
"As long as Master can reach the World Realm, even if there is a hidden force behind this calamity, the Three Realms can be kept safe," Zhou Hao said softly. "Until then, Master, do not trust anyone."
"That's all we can do," Sanqing sighed softly.
After discussing the heavy topics, the master and disciple talked about other things, mostly the things the Sanqing didn't understand after reading the "Spirit Resonance World Scripture".
Looking at his young disciple, who was originally supposed to grow up under his wing, now able to guide his cultivation, Sanqing felt a complex joy and satisfaction at the disciple surpassing him. Only he himself could truly understand this.
"Changsheng, you said your true self cannot return for the time being. So, what level has your Asura God avatar reached?" Sanqing asked with some curiosity.
There is no doubt that his little disciple's clone has not yet mastered the Heavenly Dao and entered the Ancestor Immortal; otherwise, all the Dao Ancestors and powerful beings in the Three Realms would have known this long ago through their perception of the Heavenly Dao they control.
"As long as I am willing, I can control the Heavenly Dao and step into the Ancestor Immortal at any time," Zhou Hao said with a smile.
Although the Earth Element Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms is different from the Heavenly Dao of the Chaos Great World in the Void Holy City, three years have passed, and he has naturally long since comprehended all the mysteries of the Earth Element Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms.
It was only because Xiao Zhou Yu was still in Hundred Graves Mountain that he had not yet made a breakthrough.
"Huh?" Zhou Hao was suddenly taken aback.
"What's wrong?" Sanqing asked with concern.
"It's Hengmu," Zhou Hao said. "For the past three years, he hasn't left the wooden hut in Hundred Graves Mountain, but today he suddenly went to see my flesh and blood incarnation."
"It seems Hengmu came to you to fulfill his promise and let you take Yu'er away," Sanqing laughed. "The Wujian Gate created such a grand spectacle with the Ten Thousand Immortals undergoing their tribulation this time, so their so-called verification method has naturally succeeded."
"Master is right." Zhou Hao nodded. The worry that had been weighing on his heart for more than three years was finally resolved today.
"Compared to the others in the Wujian Gate, Hengmu is still..." Sanqing shook his head.
Even former close friends have long since become enemies.
In Master Hengmu twice intervened to stop him from rescuing Changsheng, and all the past affection vanished with these two interventions.
"I still need to carefully comprehend many inspirations before attempting a breakthrough. I estimate it will take at least a hundred years, and at most a thousand years, to achieve results," Sanqing. "During my comprehension, to minimize distractions, I will entrust the affairs of the Dao Sect to you, Uncle Xiaoyao."
"Master, rest assured, if anything happens, I will definitely lend a hand to Uncle Xiaoyao." Zhou Hao nodded.
At such a crucial moment, how could I let trivial matters disturb my master's breakthrough?
"With you here, I naturally have nothing to worry about," the Sanqing said with a smile. "I hope that when we meet again, I will already be Chaos Immortal."
"This disciple also looks forward to that day! Then I will have a powerful backer and can do whatever I want in the Three Realms." Zhou Hao smiled as he left Jade Void Palace and headed towards Hundred Graves Mountain.
He wanted to go and pick up his son himself.
"After bringing Yu'er back, I will take him to reunite with Xi Yue and her family." A smile involuntarily appeared on Zhou Hao's face, and joy filled his heart.
With no worries about the future, his Second Primordial Spirit avatar was ready to break through to the Ancestor Immortal realm.
certainly.
Before that, there's one more thing to do.
He intends to retrieve the Red Dust Immortal Mansion and use the Chaos Treasure he left behind to restore his original body's clone to allow his Second Primordial Spirit to also cultivate the <Twelve Dutian Gods and Devils>.
"My Second Primordial Spirit clone has only achieved the level of a second-grade True Immortal. The cost of cultivating the clone technique is far less than that of my original self. The resources left in the Red Dust Immortal Mansion should be sufficient."
If the Second Primordial Spirit is not allowed to cultivate now, once it enters the Ancestor Immortal, the cost of cultivating the clone will increase a hundredfold.
Zhou Hao naturally refused.
"Once the Second Primordial Spirit is refined into the <Twelve Dutian Gods and Devils>, and twelve equivalent Ancestor Immortal, there will be twelve Second-Rank Ancestor Immortal, each with combat power comparable to ordinary Ancestor God, reaching the level of a leader..."
Zhou Hao pondered, the space before him broke open, and he found himself in a valley filled with blooming flowers.
In the distance stands a small wooden house, which is the residence of his physical incarnation and Xiao Zhou Yu in Hundred Graves Mountain.
"Whoosh." A gust of green wind swept by.
A burly man in a red robe and with blue hair suddenly appeared beside Zhou Hao.
"Wind Demon?" Zhou Hao looked at the suddenly appearing Lord of Myriad Demons, a hint of shock appearing in his eyes.
This was the first time he had seen the true form of the strongest leader of the Wujian Gate. He sensed the hidden, immense aura emanating from the Lord of Myriad Demons, especially the Lord of Myriad Demons' terrifying speed, which, despite not being at full strength, had almost caught him off guard...
"Zhou Hao." The Lord of Myriad Demons nodded slightly to him.
"Don't misunderstand, I came... just to see you."
It's almost 10 PM when I get off work.
call.
I've finally finished writing a chapter.
Tomorrow will probably be similar... I'll be busy these next few days.
