Creating One's Own Method Is Good, but Possessing an Emperor Scripture Opens Up a Far Wider World
The tremor of my thoughts returning to my body has not yet subsided.
The transparent Daoist aura emanating from Li Qingshan's body had dissipated.
The half- Heavenly Dao totem on its surface was still faintly flowing, echoing the surging essence of heaven and earth and the dragon energy of the earth veins below the stone platform.
He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged again, and placed his palms together in front of his abdomen.
The lingering warmth of the Dao principles on his fingertips caused tiny ripples to spread through the Void.
This time, the cross-legged posture was completely different from before.
If the meditation after the tribulation is the body spontaneously absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, then this moment is the moment when the mind and spirit are in sync with heaven and earth, and the essence of heaven and earth within a hundred miles is stirred up as if by an invisible hand.
It actually condensed from the drifting mist into a substantial torrent, no longer the mixed essence of heaven and earth absorbed by ordinary cultivators.
Instead, it was the primordial essence wrapped in pale golden Dao patterns, gushing forth like an ancient Divine Spring spring, rushing wildly into his pores.
As the vital energy swept across his skin, Li Qingshan could clearly feel the pulsation of the Dao patterns:
Some, like the movement of stars, follow an unchanging trajectory since ancient times;
Some, like the growth of grass and trees, embody the true meaning of endless life:
Some surge like rivers, surging with immense kinetic energy.
These primordial energies did not run rampant within the body, but rather spontaneously branched out along the framework of the secret realm.
Like migratory birds returning to their nests, they flocked to the three great secret realms of the Sea of Bitterness, the Dao Palace, and the Four Extremes.
Within the Sea of Bitterness, the black Bitter Sea surged with towering waves, and countless golden Dao patterns, like swimming fish, burrowed into the sea's eye.
The Bitter Sea shimmered with tiny golden lights, and a gurgling sound came from the depths of its eye, as if a new source was being conceived.
Within the Dao Palace, the five divine palaces representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth shone with intense radiance.
The Potential Dao Seed at the top of each divine palace were trembling, and the Dao patterns in the essence resonated with the Dao traces of the divine palace.
It emitted a clear, melodious sound like the tolling of bells, as if a celestial being in a palace was playing a broken zither.
The four divine chains of the Four Extremes Secret Realm are taut like dragon bones, transporting the primordial essence along the meridians of the limbs to the entire body.
Each of the Gate of Divine Treasures glowed faintly, and the ancient Daoist marks on the doors seemed to be slowly flowing, as if they were about to awaken with the influx of vital energy.
"Boom"
Beneath the stone platform, the earth's dragon energy suddenly surged into the sky, transforming into a blue dragon shadow tens of feet long.
hovering above Li Qingshan's head, the dragon opened its mouth and spat out the purest part of the essence of heaven and earth into his mouth.
As the dragon's shadow shifted, the vegetation on the surrounding cliffs grew wildly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed from a withered shrub into a towering ancient tree, its leaves still bearing the lingering shimmering patterns of light.
Li Qingshan closed his eyes and Realm of Dao Transformation surged into his heart like a tide.
The countless phantom images of the Daoist gates in the chaos still flickered before my eyes, a magnificent scene of the Desolate Heaven Emperor using the Dao as an axe to carve out the framework of the secret realm.
The figures of the Holy Emperor of the Sun and the Great Emperor Wushi, who were enacting their own paths within the framework, were so clear that it felt as if I had witnessed it myself yesterday.
" The Desolate Heaven Emperor truly lives up to his reputation as the creator of the laws, Body as the Seed."
He sighed inwardly, his divine sense sweeping over the spine and sea of consciousness where the Dragon Transformation and the Immortal Platform Secret Realm were located, though those places had not yet been truly opened.
Yet, the unveiling of the Divine Treasures already stirred a faint Daoist aura. "To organize the human body's potential into a sequence and to build the path of the Dao based on the secret realm—such a feat, even after countless ages, would still be enough to make all cultivators bow down in submission."
Unfortunately, the level he stands at is still far too far from my current level.
His divine sense swept across the Gate of Divine Treasures treasure within his limbs and bones; some gates remained tightly shut.
However, Li Qingshan could already sense the potential fluctuations hidden behind the door. He tried to use his mind to pry open the nearest surface layer of Divine Treasures. The door trembled slightly, but it required a large amount of primordial essence.
Moreover, when potential emerges, it is scattered and disorganized, far less precise than the guidance of scriptures.
"If we open the Gate of Divine Treasures one by one, it will be more effective than cultivating Great Emperor scriptures like the ' Sun True Scripture '."
Whether it's the speed of activation or the potential tapping, it's much slower and less systematic.
This understanding became increasingly clear, and the image of the Holy Emperor of the Sun connecting the Yang attribute Divine Treasures with the Solar True Force appeared in his mind. " The Great Emperor's scriptures have long since deciphered the connection of Divine Treasures in a certain field, like beads strung together with silk threads, one pull affects the whole body."
Ordinary cultivators who blindly knock on doors are merely groping in the dark, and the slightest carelessness could trigger a backlash from the Divine Treasures.
As my thoughts wandered, the outline of the Big Dipper Star Domain involuntarily appeared in my mind.
That land, which bears the legends of countless Great Emperor, contains ancient scriptures passed down from Great Saint.
Furthermore, Ye Fan, who emerged from Earth and defied the heavens with his Sacred Body, forged his own path by constantly drawing upon the wisdom of his predecessors and integrating various scriptures.
"It seems that my subsequent journey to Big Dipper will inevitably involve following Ye Fan's example, searching for scriptures and learning from the wisdom of those who came before me."
A smile appeared on Li Qingshan's lips. His divine sense felt no dependence, but rather one of anticipation. "While self-reliance can certainly lead to a unique path, the wisdom of the Great Emperor, inspiring me, allows me to stand on the shoulders of giants and survey the path of cultivation. For me, the possibilities are far greater."
"My Way,"
At that moment, the primordial essence within his body suddenly surged violently, and the secret realms of the Sea of Bitterness, Dao Palace, and Four Extremes simultaneously roared.
The resonance between divine will and physical body reached its peak.
Li Qingshan felt the surging power in his limbs and bones, and sensed the faint echo from the Gate of Divine Treasures.
Feeling the fusion of the essence of heaven and earth with one's own Daoist spirit, a surge of heroic emotion suddenly rose from the bottom of one's heart and soared straight to the sky.
"It is to transform this physical body into the universe!"
He suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, yet carrying a power that pierced the clouds, causing the earth vein dragon shadow hovering above to let out a deafening roar:
"Let all the Gate of Divine Treasures become the pivot of the operation of heaven and earth!"
The Sea of Bitterness is the Sea of Stars, the Dao Palace is the Divine Abode, the Four Extremes are the Pillars of Heaven, the Immortal Platform is the Dome, the Body as the Seed, and the proof of the Dao is oneself!
"Boom!"
The powerful aura shook the surrounding sea of clouds, causing them to scatter in all directions, as the eastern sun shone brightly.
Li Qingshan's figure resembled a deity who had just emerged from chaos, surrounded by countless rays of light and flowing Daoist charm.
Slowly raise your head and look at the sky above Kunlun.
The moment he finished his declaration, dark clouds gathered.
The thicker, dark clouds, like an ancient curtain of black iron, pressed down from all directions.
It completely blocked out the sky for miles around, even swallowing up the golden light of the rising sun.
Amidst the churning clouds, the shadowy figure of a gigantic beast could be vaguely seen moving about, its scales flashing with lightning and its fangs spitting out electric snakes.
"Boom!"
The thunder was no longer a distant roar, but rolled overhead like war drums, each tremor carrying a clear Daoist rhythm.
It resonated with the lightning-attribute Divine Treasures within him.
Li Qingshan could clearly sense that the clouds contained the power of Heavenly Dao retribution.
Although it did not descend, it had already caused subtle cracks to appear in the surrounding space.
Far from showing any fear, his eyes blazed with fervent anticipation. He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward, and the Gate of Divine Treasures within his body, connected to lightning, trembled slightly, emanating an invisible suction force from his palm.
"Click!"
A crimson bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clouds, pointing straight at his palm like a divine spear.
This bolt of lightning was not incomparably violent; rather, it possessed a touch of agility, its surface entwined with countless tiny lightning runes, representing the ultimate manifestation of primordial lightning power.
Li Qingshan slightly turned his wrist and firmly grasped the Crimson Thunder in his palm.
The lightning spun in his palm, transforming into a three-inch-sized ball of lightning.
The lightning runes swam inside the sphere like tadpoles, touching his skin.
It surged into his body, nourishing the Gate of Divine Treasures related to thunder.
The warm touch from his palm, without any burning sensation, instead invigorated him.
"The next tribulation lightning,"
Li Qingshan gripped the lightning ball in his palm, his gaze fixed intently on the depths of the dark clouds, where even more immense lightning power was accumulating. "Then I can attempt to break through two realms in succession and reach the pinnacle of the Four Extremes Realm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed the ball of lightning in his palm into his body, and the lightning power spread out along the Four Extremes Divine Chains.
The Gate of Divine Treasures of the four limbs lit up simultaneously, emitting a clanging sound of intertwined divine chains.
The phantom of the thunder beast in the dark clouds seemed to be enraged, letting out a deafening roar.
The clouds grew thicker, with flashes of lightning peeking through them, as if divine punishment might descend at any moment.
Li Qingshan, however, paid no attention, closed his eyes again, and continued to absorb the primordial essence of heaven and earth.
He knew that this unveiling of the Divine Treasures not only allowed him to see the true meaning of the Secret Realm Method, but also established his own path of cultivation.
Once you've fully digested this insight, you'll accumulate enough primal power.
The next tribulation will be the stepping stone for him to reach the pinnacle of the Four Extremes.
The legacy of the Great Emperor of the Big Dipper Star Domain awaits him ahead.
