SPLAT!
Cheng Hao's figure suddenly charged out from the bottom of a vast and seemingly endless golden sea. A spatial tunnel slowly closed beside him. One could vaguely see that the inner world of the tunnel contained a large amount of golden seawater.
The Arch-Emperor's World was mainly divided into the lands of Heavenspan and the Wildlands. The Heavenspan Sea was the core of the world, and the golden seawater emanated a corrosive aura, as well as spiritual energy so strong that it was almost corporeal. It was the source of all the spiritual energy in the lands of Heavenspan.
"This seawater should be enough for me to practice cultivation for the next thirty years."
After examining the golden water in his inner world for a moment, Cheng Hao transformed into a beam of golden light that shot toward the lands of Heavenspan on the other side of the Heavenspan Sea. That was where the main character of the world, Bai Xiaochun, was.
Bai Xiaochun was a fair-skinned, black-hearted man with a glib tongue. He was greedy for life and afraid of death, and would always cause problems that even he couldn't solve. However, he was also a man who cared deeply about his friends and family. When it came to critical moments, he was trustworthy. He was the type of person that people both loved and hated.
"Every main character has their own aura of destiny," Bai Xiaochun said. "They're all outstanding in their own ways. Therefore, if I take that turtle-wok of yours, it won't hinder your rise to prominence, will it?"
There were quite a few treasures in this world, but at Cheng Hao's current level, most of them weren't very useful to him. Even the incomplete world treasure buried in the north of the lands of Heavenspan was of little interest to him.
The only thing that piqued his interest was the wok on Bai Xiaochun's back. It had a one hundred percent success rate for spirit enhancements, so how could Cheng Hao not be interested?
Spirit enhancements were unique to the Arch-Emperor's World, similar to the Daoist patterns of the Shrouded Heaven Realm. They could allow cultivators to rapidly grow stronger. Even a feather with a thirtyfold spirit enhancement could become a world of its own!
.....
In the Spirit Stream Sect, Patriarch Spirit Stream and a host of Core Formation elders were currently bowing respectfully at the top of an elegant mountain peak, where few people dared to go.
In front of them was Cheng Hao, who was smiling as he looked at a small palace not too far off in the distance. It was constructed from limestone, and had cultivation rooms, pill concocting rooms, and a Scripture Pavilion. The cultivation room was filled with bottles of medicinal pills and piles of spirit stones. Although Cheng Hao wasn't particularly interested in medicinal pills, he was very pleased with how the Spirit Stream Sect had handled things.
Patriarch Spirit Stream cautiously asked, "Senior, are you satisfied with this immortal's cave?"
"Not bad!" Cheng Hao nodded. He was never picky about where he cultivated. As long as the environment was not disturbed, even if it was underground, he would be happy to cultivate in seclusion.
"By the way, where's Cheng Hao?" Cheng Hao had been thinking about the turtle-wok for a long time.
"Bai Xiaochun has already entered the Fallen Sword Abyss with some of the other disciples in the great circle of Qi Condensation. They're there to fight for Foundation Establishment opportunities."
"The Fallen Sword Abyss?" Cheng Hao frowned. He had only briefly glanced at that part of the story before skipping over it. The only thing he could remember was that the Fallen Sword Abyss was a trial by fire.
"Five thousand years ago, there was an indescribably huge sword from beyond the heavens. It was larger than a hundred Spirit Stream Sects combined, and contained terrifying power. It pierced through the heavens, then fell down and stabbed into Mount Bi Fang. Its sword qi pierced through the netherworld, and earthstring energy fused into the sword itself. Because of that, it became a holy land for Foundation Establishment!"
Seeing the look of confusion on Cheng Hao's face, Patriarch Spirit Stream quickly explained.
Cheng Hao nodded. With a single thought, he sent out over a thousand streams of divine sense, which transformed into Cheng Hao's likeness. Then, following Patriarch Spirit Stream's instructions, he transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot off into the distance.
"That's … an out-of-body incarnation?" Patriarch Spirit Stream asked, a look of awe on his face.
"It's just a divine sense clone." Cheng Hao didn't go into detail. Instead, he headed toward the palace, where he waved his hand dismissively at Patriarch Spirit Stream and the other patriarchs.
"I'm going to go into secluded meditation here. If you have any problems, you can look for my clone. As long as it's not a demigod attack, he'll be able to handle it!"
After giving a few simple instructions, Cheng Hao stepped out and came to the cultivation room in the palace. He casually set up a few Soul Restrictions and sat down cross-legged to begin his seclusion.
Within his sea of consciousness floated a one-page golden tome, covered with hundreds of thousands of golden characters. Faint sounds of a great dao could be heard coming from it. This was the reward Cheng Hao had received for completing his mission: the complete version of the Daoist Scripture.
This golden tome was similar to the one Lin Xi had given him. The only difference was that Lin Xi's golden tome only contained the cultivation technique of the Sea of Reincarnation. As for the Daoist Scripture in Cheng Hao's sea of consciousness, it didn't just contain the Sea of Reincarnation, it also contained cultivation techniques that could be used to cultivate all the way to the ninth level of Immortal Foundation.
"The Dao is the origin of all magics, the root of all living things …. Cultivating magics without cultivating the Dao is like building a castle in the air, unable to reach your true self."
The opening lines were not in Lin Xi's golden tome, and they clearly explained what the Dao was.
The so-called Dao was the origin of all living things. It was the amalgamation of countless magical laws. The ultimate goal of cultivators was to reach the Dao themselves, to refine their cultivation techniques into the Dao. That way, they could be independent of the universe, free and unfettered in the world of mortals.
The self was the universe, all living things, all magical laws, and the essence of all things. This was the Immortal Dao of the Mortal World!
"Not bad, as expected of a cultivation system that focuses on cultivating the divine treasures in one's body. With the goal of reaching the Dao and becoming the universe, it's extremely suitable for people like me who need to transmigrate from place to place!"
He himself was the Dao, he was the universe. Even if he was in another universe, he wouldn't be affected by the Heavenly Dao there. His strength wouldn't be suppressed. This Daoist Scripture was truly tailor-made for Cheng Hao.
After reading through the Sea of Reincarnation once more, Cheng Hao discovered that there were no differences with the contents of the Dao Palace. He couldn't wait to read the contents of the Dao Palace.
"If the Grain God doesn't die, it's called Xuan Pin. The Gate of Xuan Pin is the Heavenly Lake …."
Over ten thousand words, Cheng Hao had a clear understanding of this Dao Palace after reading the cultivation theories and techniques in detail.
There were a few gods in the Dao Palace. If he could use them for himself, he could prolong his life and nurture the five Qis. When the gods and Qis fused, they would produce all kinds of mysterious things. With every movement, he would have supernatural powers accompanying him. He would be comparable to an immortal on land.
The Dao Palace's secret realm was divided into five small realms. They were the Divine Treasure of the Heart, the Divine Treasure of the Liver, the Divine Treasure of the Lungs, the Divine Treasure of the Kidney, and the Divine Treasure of the Spleen. Once all five Divine Treasures were nurtured, he would have achieved his cultivation goal.
"Then, let's start with the Divine Treasure of the Heart!"
