Gaining Another Art, Finding a New Path
Astral Battlefield, amidst the Xukong void.
Dongfang Yueming transformed into a golden streak of light, rapidly traveling in the direction Qin Rushuang had indicated.
In his mind, however, he was rapidly making plans.
[Once I've received this 'offering,' I should have enough points to upgrade the "I Alone Am Supreme Technique" to its Perfection.]
[At that time, I will be able to ascend to the heavens in one step and enter... the Nascent Soul realm!]
[but...]
Uncontrollably, the ancient admonition from the "Martial Extremity Golden Body Art" surfaced in his mind.
[... There's no need to pursue Dao-Grade.]
[Heaven has its ways, and humanity has its ways.]
My way is not the way of Heaven.
Dongfang Yueming's heart was filled with deep confusion.
[My "Point Allocation" is essentially about cultivating a skill to its theoretically most perfect "ideal state."]
However, this merely means that the ideal has been 'achieved,' not that it has been 'transcended.'
To surpass, one must integrate multiple techniques, combining their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses, thus achieving a state of excellence that surpasses the original.
[And the so-called ' Dao-Grade ' seems to be more than just the fusion of cultivation techniques; it also contains a trace of... blessing from the 'power of heaven and earth'!]
[But...]
If I don't pursue ' Dao-Grade,' doesn't that mean I can only specialize in one particular cultivation method?
[Isn't this contrary to my path of 'all things returning to the same source'?]
He seemed to have grasped something, almost imperceptibly.
Yet it felt as if I hadn't grasped anything at all.
That's all.
He shook his head, temporarily suppressing these philosophical questions that were still too distant for him to ponder.
There's always a way out.
The most urgent task is to first take stock of what we've already gained.
He immersed his divine sense into the eight storage rings belonging to the Golden Core experts of Storm Mountain!
"Hiss--!"
Even Dongfang Yueming, who was already quite wealthy, couldn't help but gasp when he saw the contents of those eight storage rings!
As expected of Golden Core Elder from the Holy Land!
The eight storage rings contained a total of over 100,000 low-grade spirit stones!
There are as many as a thousand mid-grade spirit stones!
In addition, there are various rare and precious pills, refining materials, and a large number of cultivation technique jade slips that are rarely seen in the outside world!
Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the cyan treasure bottle that was seized from Elder Feng!
Fourth-tier magic weapon – [Wind-Binding Bottle]!
Dongfang Yueming's heart was burning with passion!
He transferred all the spirit stones and miscellaneous items into his storage ring.
Then, he turned his gaze to those jade slips containing cultivation techniques.
Soon, he found the one he needed most...
[Nine Heavens Wind-Control Art... Nascent Soul Chapter!]
[Hahaha! It's true, what I wish for comes true!]
Dongfang Yueming was overjoyed!
But then, he fell into a new confusion.
[Having a new technique is certainly a good thing.]
But... do I really want to merge them all together?
He slowly opened the book, the Nascent Soul cultivation manual.
[The Golden Core Perfection, and the Nascent Soul is formed by shattering the core! The Golden Core is shattered, releasing the divine soul and essence of laws nurtured within, which transforms into a ' Nascent Soul ' identical to oneself, sitting serenely within the Purple Mansion.]
The so-called essence of laws refers to the Divine Ability that cultivators comprehend. If a cultivator condenses Low-Grade Golden Core Golden Core during the Foundation Establishment and fails to comprehend Divine Ability, they will naturally have no hope of reaching the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul. Furthermore, comprehending Treasure-Grade Nascent Soul Black-Grade Divine Ability...
[etc...]
Suddenly, One Flash inspiration struck Dongfang Yueming!
[Divine Ability?!]
[I have more than one subject!]
I possess [My Dao Is the Only One], [The Two Aspects Annihilation], [The Spear of Wind and Shadow]...
[If I were to shatter my core and form a nascent Nascent Soul, which Divine Ability would the resulting nascent soul inherit?!]
[Could it be...?]
A thought, so wildly insane and earth-shattering that even he found it utterly insane, uncontrollably sprang from the depths of his heart!
If one type of Divine Ability corresponds to one Nascent Soul...
[Then I...]
[Is it possible to condense... multiple Nascent Soul?!]
"BOOM--!!!"
This thought, like a bolt of divine lightning, struck his mind fiercely!
In an instant, all his previous confusion and bewilderment vanished like smoke!
That's right! That's exactly it!
Why should I pursue that one and only ' Dao-Grade Nascent Soul '?!
The way of Heaven is to take from those who have too much and give to those who have too little!
The way of man is to take from those who have little to give to those who have more!
I don't need to contend with the heavens!
I am a path unto myself!
[I can condense multiple Nascent Soul!!!]
At that moment, Dongfang Yueming felt as if a clear sky had suddenly opened up before him!
A supreme Great Dao, unprecedented and unparalleled, has slowly unfolded beneath his feet!
Just as his heart was surging with emotion.
Suddenly, his Divine Sense detected a small world not far away, emitting faint spatial fluctuations...
[It should only be a Yellow-Grade World.]
[Strength: Not strong.]
[That's not my goal.]
Without lingering, he flickered and once again merged into the endless Xukong, continuing his journey!
