Another Dao Technique, on to a Middle-Tier Immortal Domain

Inside the main hall, the lingering warmth of the ruins still remains.

Ao Wushuang stared intently at the True Immortal puppet that had been crushed into scrap metal, his breathing becoming extremely heavy.

[Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!]

[This is a guardian puppet personally crafted by the ancestor, powerful enough to roam freely in the lower immortal realms. How could it be defeated by some unknown bastard?!]

He suddenly looked up, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Dongfang Yueming was no longer one of contempt, but rather one of madness born of fear!

You forced me to do this!

Ao Wushuang let out a shrill scream, her face contorted in a grotesque grimace. "This move was originally meant for those opponents in the Supreme Mystery Immortal Domain. Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

With trembling hands, he pulled out a golden talisman from his robes, its surface crystalline and seemingly containing a galaxy sealed within.

[Low-grade Daoist Talisman - Supreme Mystery Star Extinction!]

This talisman contains a low-grade Dao technique personally blessed by the patriarch of the Supreme Mystery Immortal Domain Ao Family! The difference between Dao techniques and immortal techniques is a qualitative leap, belonging to the killing methods of True Immortal and even Mystic Immortal!

"Smash it!"

Ao Wushuang spat a mouthful of Ao Wushuang blood onto the talisman, which instantly burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime!

"BOOM--!!!"

A terrifying Daoist aura, surpassing all things, suddenly descended, and a gigantic star sword condensed in the Xukong. Wherever the sword's edge pointed, all laws withered!

"Die! Before this magic, all your struggles are in vain!"

Ao Wushuang laughed wildly, his laughter filled with the ecstatic joy of victory being within his grasp!

However.

Facing the Star Sword, powerful enough to cleave the heavens and earth, Dongfang Yueming merely took a slow step forward.

"Daoist arts?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"What a coincidence, I have one too."

"Buzz--!"

At this moment, the [Innate Supreme Dao Bone] within his body erupted with its most intense light, and golden divine radiance pierced through his black robe, making him look like a god-king surveying the heavens!

[Supreme Dao Bone - Extreme Realm Empowerment!]

[Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment Dao Scripture: Lightning Punishment Descends!]

"Boom--!!!"

The space that was originally imprisoned by the Star Sword was instantly torn apart by a dense barrage of black and gold lightning!

In Dongfang Yueming's palm, a ball of lightning, condensed to its extreme, spun wildly.

"Cut!"

He pointed a finger into the air!

A thick, dragon-like bolt of black-gold tribulation lightning, exuding an aura of annihilation, and carrying the supreme majesty of judging all living beings, slammed fiercely towards the Star Sword!

"Bang--!!!"

Two forces of Daoist magic clashed in mid-air, and the aftershocks blew off the dome of the entire hall!

In this collision, powerful enough to annihilate even Heaven Immortal being's soul, the Star Sword actually... began to shatter inch by inch!

"No--! This is impossible! How could you possibly master Perfection- level Dao technique?!"

Ao Wushuang let out a desperate wail. All his pride and all his background were crushed to dust by that black and gold lightning at this moment!

"Die."

A thunderous roar instantly devoured Ao Wushuang's physical body!

"Bang!"

A cloud of golden blood mist exploded.

Ao Wushuang Primordial Spirit tried in terror to escape into the Xukong, but was firmly grasped by a large golden hand.

"Soul Search!"

Dongfang Yueming's gaze was icy, and his divine sense surged into the other's Sea of Consciousness like a raging tsunami!

Massive amounts of information are instantly processed by the system:

[The Supreme Mystery Immortal Domain... The Ao Family... The hierarchical division of the Three Thousand Great Immortal Realms...]

[The Supreme Mystery True Scripture... True Immortal cultivation method!]

[The Nine Transformations of the Mystic Immortal... an incomplete cultivation technique!]

[Ding! The deduction progress of "Origin Immortal Art: True Immortal Chapter" has increased by 8%...25%!]

[Ding! Deduction of "Origin Immortal Art: Mystic Immortal Chapter" has begun. Current progress: 6%!]

A moment later, Ao Wushuang's Primordial Spirit was completely annihilated.

With a casual wave of his hand, Dongfang Yueming seized the opportunity in mid-air.

[Received: Inheritance Jade Slip x1!]

[Obtained: Mystic-Grade Immortal Seed - Azure Thunder Seed!]

Then he casually picked up the storage ring left behind by Ao Wushuang.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed that even Dongfang Yueming couldn't help but sigh, "[Truly worthy of being a wealthy young master from the Great Immortal Realm.]"

[10,000 low-grade immortal stones, 10 mid-grade immortal stones!]

[2 high-grade immortal artifacts, 5 high-grade immortal pills, 5 high-grade immortal talismans!]

"This time, we've really eaten our fill."

He looked up and saw that, due to the loss of the core inheritance, huge cracks had begun to appear in the entire True Immortal Cave, and spatial turbulence was pouring in frantically.

"They're gone."

Dongfang Yueming put away his spoils, his figure transforming into a streak of dark golden lightning, and in the last second before the cave collapsed, he vanished into thin air!

After leaving the collapsed True Immortal Cave, Dongfang Yueming sped along until he stopped at an unnamed desolate mountain tens of thousands of miles away.

He casually set up a restriction and began to sort through the fragments of memories he had obtained from Ao Wushuang.

"I see..."

A flash of understanding crossed Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

This vast immortal Immortal Realm is strictly hierarchical.

At the very bottom is this "lower-level immortal realm," like the Desolate Ancient Immortal Domain, where Human Immortal are as common as dogs, and Heaven Immortal can dominate a region.

Above that is the "middle-level immortal realm," such as the Supreme Mystery Immortal Domain, where Earth Immortal are as worthless as dogs, Heaven Immortal are everywhere, and only True Immortal can hold down a great power.

Above that is the "Superior Immortal Realm," the Daoist abode of Golden Immortal, shrouded in mystery.

Above all this, ruling over countless immortal realms, is the legendary, supreme... Immortal Dynasty!

"It seems that this Desolate Ancient Immortal Domain is ultimately just a beginner's village."

Dongfang Yueming sighed, then composed himself and took out the golden inheritance jade slip that he had obtained from the core of the cave.

Divine sense probed in.

[Ding! You have learned the cultivation technique "Nine Heavens Lei Dong True Explanation (True Immortal Chapter)"!]

[Ding! You have learned the cultivation technique "Supreme Response Chapter" (a fragment of the Mystic Immortal Chapter)!]

[Ding! Progress of "Origin Immortal Art: True Immortal Chapter" deduction: 25%...30%!]

[Ding! Progress of deduction for "Origin Immortal Art: Mystic Immortal Chapter": 6%...12%!]

"Not enough..."

Dongfang Yueming frowned slightly, but then his gaze was drawn to a Daoist technique recorded in the jade slip.

[Low-grade Daoist Technique - Lightning Prison God-Locking Canon!]

[Requires the fusion of 1 high-grade lightning-type immortal technique, 3 mid-grade techniques, and 9 low-grade techniques...]

"Another lightning-type?"

A glint of light One Flash in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

"Perfect, I love lightning!"

He glanced at the balance of his Immortal Points on the panel.

[Immortal Points: 10055]

"That's enough!"

[Point Allocation!]

[Ding! 950 Immortal Points consumed, the superior-grade Immortal Technique "Lightning Prison Chains" Perfection!]

[Ding! 570 Immortal Points consumed, three mid-grade Immortal Techniques Perfection!]

[Ding! 342 Immortal Points consumed, Nine Gates Low-Grade Immortal Technique Perfection!]

"Buzz--!"

As the last immortal technique Perfection, Dongfang Yueming's Sea of Consciousness once again experienced a violent tremor!

Countless purple lightning runes intertwined in his Sea of Consciousness, forming a formidable lightning prison that exuded a terrifying aura capable of suppressing all gods and demons!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The Daoist technique has been successfully synthesized!]

[Obtained a low-grade Daoist technique - [Lightning Prison God-Locking Canon]!]

The moment this Daoist technique took shape, it surprisingly resonated with the [Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment Dao Scripture] it had previously obtained... a strange resonance!

Two thunderous Daoist auras, though originating from the same source, were completely different and swirled in the Sea of Consciousness, like two thunder dragons chasing each other, with a faint tendency to merge!

"This is..."

Dongfang Yueming's heart stirred, and he immediately retrieved Ao Wushuang's memories.

"Mid-grade Daoist technique... corresponding to the Mystic Immortal..."

"It requires the fusion of... three low-grade Daoist techniques?!"

He suddenly understood!

"I see! As long as I find another low-grade lightning-based Dao technique and cultivate it to Perfection..."

"By combining the three, one can achieve... a mid-grade Dao technique!"

That's a powerful weapon that even Mystic Immortal would envy!

A surge of passion welled up in Dongfang Yueming's heart.

However, in addition to Daoist techniques, one's own spiritual realm must also keep up.

"To advance from Heaven Immortal to True Immortal, Immortal Seed must be planted within the Immortal Abode."

He looked inward at himself.

Within his dantian, [Ancient Tribulation Lightning - Profound] and [Nine Dragons Immortal Seed - Earth] floated silently.

"One is a Xuan-grade item, and the other is a Di-grade item..."

"While it might be considered a priceless treasure by ordinary people, for someone like me who possesses the Supreme Dao Bone and the Chaos Dao Body..."

"Not perfect enough!"

A glint of ambition flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.

"If we're going to Foundation Establishment, then we must build the strongest foundation!"

"I need... a higher-grade Immortal Seed!"

He stood up and looked towards the distant north.

According to Ao Wushuang's memories, in the far north of this Desolate Ancient Immortal Domain, there seems to be a spatial node connecting to the "middle immortal realm".

Perhaps he finds what he's looking for there!

The goal is clear.

"True Immortal Technique! High-Rank Immortal Seed! Third Thunder-Element Dao Technique!"

"Set off!"
