Wang Baole Devours the Essence Blood and Succeeds in Comprehending the Dao
"Master, your disciple has returned."
On Miaomiao Mountain, Wang Baole bowed respectfully to Chu Feng, who was reading a book.
Chu Feng put down his book, glanced at Wang Baole, and said, "No need for formalities. Did you gain anything from this trip?"
Wang Baole calmly recounted his experience of this trip to Northern Jade Mountain.
After listening, Chu Feng said, "I didn't expect you to be able to get your hands on such a good thing. Where's that old bastard Xiuyuan?"
Wang Baole said, "Senior Brother Nie, continue your travels throughout the world."
Chu Feng continued, "Then you've come to see me with some doubts?"
"To be honest, Master, my Saber Intent will soon reach its peak. However, this means I will have two different True Intent at their peak, and I don't know which one to True Intent to comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao."
Wang Baole finally voiced the question that had been troubling him.
After listening, Chu Feng waved the feather fan in his hand and asked, "What do you like the most?"
Wang Baole didn't expect his master to bring up the question again. If he could make the decision himself, would he need to ask?
"This disciple enjoys eating them, but unfortunately, I find both of these True Intent quite useful."
Chu Feng said calmly, "Then why don't you use the True Essence of Taotie to awaken True Essence of Devouring, integrating everything you've learned into one?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Baole instantly realized what he had done. He slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten something so important?"
Chu Feng patted Wang Baole on the shoulder. "You're overthinking things, kid. You haven't seen the essence of the matter."
Upon hearing this, Wang Baole bowed respectfully to Chu Feng and said, "This disciple thanks Master for his guidance."
Chu Feng waved his hand. "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Wang Baole shook his head. "The doubts in my heart have been resolved. I plan to first go into seclusion to break through to the Great Perfection of my Saber Intent, and then begin to comprehend the True Essence of Devouring."
Chu Feng waved his hand. "Go."
"This disciple takes his leave."
After Wang Baole finished speaking, he turned and left. Chu Feng watched him walk away, then picked up the novel and continued reading.
After returning to his villa, Wang Baole first spoke with his two wives, and then began to seclude himself to comprehend the Saber Intent.
His method of seclusion was different from others; he spent each day processing various different ingredients.
After forty-nine days, Wang Baole finally understood.
His Saber Intent had reached its peak.
He swung the knife in his hand at the fleshy Taisui in front of him, and with a single stroke, carved out a dragon.
"This is the feeling of perfecting the Saber Intent; it's truly extraordinary."
"Next, one should comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao. Only by comprehending the True Essence of the Great Dao can one roam freely throughout the world."
Wang Baole did not rush to consume the Taotie's essence blood, but instead sent all the ingredients to the kitchen of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute.
Inside the main courtyard, Chu Feng, who was cooking, heard a system notification in his mind.
"Host's disciple, Wang Baole, has reached the Great Perfection of Saber Intent. Host is rewarded with +8 to the True Essence of the Great Dao."
So fast?
Hearing the system's familiar voice, Chu Feng's lips curled into a slight smile. It seemed he would have to cook a good meal for Baole today.
"Master, I have finally mastered the Saber Intent to perfection."
Wang Baole's joyful voice came from outside.
Chu Feng stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Wang Baole and said with a smile, "You've really mastered the art of Saber Intent; you've reached the Great Perfection so quickly."
Wang Baole chuckled and scratched his head, "This is all thanks to Master's guidance; otherwise, I wouldn't have found the right path for my cultivation so quickly."
"You're quite talented, kid, but sometimes your mind doesn't quite work out. You want too much, so naturally you get caught up in some dilemmas. When do you plan to go into seclusion to comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao?" Chu Feng asked.
Wang Baole: "Reporting to Master, this disciple plans to begin my comprehension in a few days. I have prepared quite a few good ingredients these days, please take a look."
"Oh."
Chu Feng immediately became interested. "Quickly take it out and let your teacher take a look."
"Promise."
Wang Baole took out a bunch of processed and exquisite ingredients from his storage ring one after another.
Even Chu Feng couldn't help but give the kid a thumbs up. "Not bad, kid, you've got some skills. We can have a good meal tonight. Come and lend your master a hand."
"Promise."
Wang Baole responded, and the master and apprentice busied themselves in the kitchen until the dinner party began.
After the banquet, Wang Baole, having eaten and drunk his fill, spent some time with his two beautiful wives. Then, he went alone to a cave in the back of Miaomiao Mountain and took out the Taotie essence blood from his storage ring.
Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed the essence and blood from the porcelain bottle in one gulp.
The moment the essence and blood entered his stomach, Wang Baole felt a violent burning sensation in his stomach, and a terrifying aura filled every corner of his body.
At this moment, it felt as if a terrifying beast was raging inside him, threatening to burst him apart.
In his mind, an image of an ancient, ferocious beast Taotie, looked down at him from a high place, its eyes seeming to say, "You are not mortals to consume the essence and blood of Taotie."
Wang Baole quickly used his spiritual power to suppress this terrifying force, but he soon discovered that his spiritual power was dispersed after encountering this aura.
How is that possible?
Wang Baole was greatly alarmed, but he did not give up. He immediately used his True Intent to suppress this terrifying aura.
First came the Saber Intent, then the Taiji True Intent.
Even with both True Intent unleashed simultaneously, Wang Baole still couldn't completely suppress that terrifying aura; he could only delay the damage it caused to his body.
As time passed, Wang Baole began to absorb the drop of blood essence.
With each wisp of absorption, Wang Baole could feel his pressure lessen.
There's hope.
As this thought flashed through Wang Baole's mind, he continued to calmly suppress the Taotie aura within his essence blood using two kinds of True Intent.
Time passed day by day.
A month later, Wang Baole finally absorbed all the Taotie essence.
The image of the Taotie in his mind gradually blurred, and then a familiar voice rang out.
"The Dao of Devouring lies in..."
While listening to the Taotie's voice, Wang Baole also began to cleanse his body with the refined Taotie essence and blood.
Eighty-one days later.
Wang Baole suddenly opened his eyes, muttering, "Is this the Great Dao of Devouring? It can devour the sun, moon, and stars above, and mountains and rivers below. It can devour everything in the world. No wonder that Taotie Demon Saint wanted our fortune in exchange. It seems it devoured all that fortune. I wonder what use it has for devouring fortune?"
After muttering something to himself, he put those thoughts aside; all he needed to do now was report the good news to his master.
"I, Wang Baole, am no less capable than anyone else!"
After saying this, Wang Baole took out a set of clothes from his storage ring, tidied himself up, and then strode towards the head of the group, Northern Abyss.
