Chapter 636

As for why it changed from a Dao technique to a supreme cultivation technique, it had to be explained from how Dao Fusing Golden Immortals became Masters of Creation.

The 3,000 Great Daos could all be fused to form a Dao Seed. This was the first step of the Dao Fusing Realm. At this stage, as long as one didn't face a Dao Seed that countered it or a Dao Seed that embodied destruction and killing, a Dao Fusing Golden Immortal could only be suppressed and couldn't be killed.

The second step of the Dao Fusing Realm varied from person to person. If the Dao one wanted to fuse was not 49 Innate Great Daos, then one had to purify the Dao Seed and evolve it into 49 Innate Great Daos. For example, the Thunder Dao Seed was upgraded to the Yin Yang Dao Seed.

This step was extremely difficult, and it often took millions of years to succeed. Even if someone had already occupied the Dao Seed, they had to either wait for that person to achieve Eternity and leave the Great World, or find a way to kill him.

Therefore, those Golden Immortals who fused 49 Innate Great Daos and entered the second step were envied by other Jinxian Daoists who were still lingering at the first step! Therefore, a cultivation technique that contained 49 Innate Great Daos was very precious and rare! When King Qinguang saw Shi Xuan's Natal Spirit Weapon, he said that Shi Xuan was very ambitious.

After fusing the Innate Dao Seed, if one wanted to enter the third step of the Dao Fusing and lay the final foundation for the Dao Fusing Creation, one needed to fuse another Innate Great Dao. This Innate Great Dao had to be the opposite of the previous Dao. It might not necessarily be a counter, but it had to be the opposite. For example, the Yin Yang Dao Seed, the Chaos Dao Seed, the Nirvana Dao Seed, and so on.

Under such circumstances, because some Innate Great Dao Seeds had already been occupied by the existing Masters of Creation, and some Innate Great Dao could not be derived from the cultivation technique, it often happened that the Innate Great Dao needed to enter the third step of the Dao Fusing was unique.

Once this Innate Great Dao was occupied, there was only one choice.

The battle of the Great Dao would not end until one party died!

The message left by Qingyun Zi made it very clear that he was killed by a Daozu who had fused the opposite Dao Fusing. He warned his descendants not to publicize the Treasure Record before the Dao Fusing, lest they would be killed. He didn't even mention the Daozu's name. As long as Shi Xuan didn't fuse with the Dao Fusing, it would attract Daozu's attention and he would be killed by him across countless Vast Thousand Realms.

When he saw this, a layer of sweat appeared on Shi Xuan's forehead. Even with his control as a Golden Core cultivator, when he thought about how he had suddenly made an enemy of a Golden Immortal Daofather, he felt terrified.

Of course, when Shi Xuan became a half-step Golden Immortal and prepared to fuse with the Dao, he could choose not to choose the Yin and Yang Dao Seed. According to Qingyun Zi, the Treasure Record contained other Dao Seeds derived from the Yin and Yang Dao Seed, such as Yin and Yang, Four Symbols, Reincarnation, Lightning, Chaos, and so on. There were at least a hundred of them, but they were not Innate Great Dao.

Even though this was what Qingyun Zi had said a million years ago, according to the slow cultivation and difficulty of advancing as a Golden Immortal, as well as the fact that there were less than 60 Jinxian Daoists, there was generally not much discrepancy.

However, once these Dao Seeds were fused, the path of creation would basically be hopeless, because they wouldn't dare to sublimate to the Yin and Yang Dao Seed! With Shi Xuan's ambition, he definitely wouldn't choose it.

The Treasure Record contained six Innate Great Dao: Yin and Yang, Chaos, Tai Chi, Life and Death, Morality, and Karma. Apart from Yin and Yang, Chaos and Tai Chi Dao Seed were the foundation of a Master of Creation's Dao. Karma was one of the two Innate Great Dao when another Master of Creation reached Dao. Life and Death had already been fused by the Jinxian Daoist.

Morality was the key for a Jinxian Daoist to step into the third step, so it was no different from choosing Yin and Yang.

In that case, unless Shi Xuan found another cultivation technique, he could only fuse Yin and Yang and Morality. However, how could a supreme cultivation technique be so easy to find? Since he was going to fight to the death with someone, he might as well choose the one who had a grudge against Qingyun Zi. Shi Xuan could still end this karma.

Why wasn't Shi Xuan worried that the Daozu had fused the Yin and Yang Dao Seed? This was because, according to Qingyun Zi, the third step was countless times more difficult than the first step to step into the second step.

On the contrary, the Dao Seed conflicted with the original Dao Seed everywhere. The conflict was intense. If he wanted to fuse them into one body, it was definitely not something that could be resolved in a million years. Most importantly, the Daozu hadn't obtained the Treasure Record. If he wanted to cultivate a cultivation technique that contained the Yin and Yang Dao, he had to find another one or deduce it himself.

The former was extremely difficult because other cultivation techniques, apart from a Master of Creation's Dao Validation cultivation technique, were slightly inferior to the Treasure Record. It was very difficult to condense the Yin and Yang Dao Seed. The latter was even more distant. Perhaps it would take another billions of years to succeed.

This also showed that the Treasure Record was second to none among the supreme cultivation techniques that contained Innate Great Dao. This was because among the six Innate Great Dao it contained, Yin and Yang and Tai Chi were the opposite of Chaos. This kind of opposite Dao Seed that was cultivated from a cultivation technique would not have such a strong conflict when he reached the third step. It was much simpler and easier. Perhaps he could fuse the two Dao Seeds into one body in less than 10,000 years.

However, now that the Chaos Dao Seed had been taken by someone else, it was impossible for Shi Xuan to reach the third step of Dao Integration by relying on the Treasure Record alone.

However, Qingyun Zi had provided another train of thought. That was to use the idea of Tool Cultivation to separate another cultivation technique that contained the opposite Dao Seed and combine it with his own cultivation technique in the form of technique and tool. After repeated advancements and strengthening, it would gradually fuse with his own body. In this way, when he reached the third step, because of the close relationship between the two opposite Innate Great Dao Seeds, it would be relatively easy for him to reach the third step, even though it couldn't compare to the Treasure Record.

With this train of thought, in addition to the fact that a supreme cultivation technique that Qingyun Zi had obtained by chance happened to contain the Innate Great Dao that was opposite to Yin and Yang, he made use of the favor left behind by Daoist Yu Yu and asked another Master of Creation who was still in this universe at that time to help deduce it. In the end, he obtained the specific method to separate this cultivation technique and combine it with the Treasure Record.

However, after that Master of Creation left this universe, before Qingyun Zi could make up his mind to dissipate his Dao Seed and reincarnate to cultivate again, he was killed by Daozu's various arrangements.

Before he died, he pierced through the universe to send away the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers and left behind the Treasure Record's information and space-time waymark. Because of Daozu's interference, the last two steps of this cultivation technique didn't enter the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers. Instead, it flew to another universe. At that time, only Shi Xuan could find it.

The first step of this cultivation technique was to gather the Five Elements' killing intent and condense the Celestial Vanquishing Sword, which was the five-colored flying sword in Shi Xuan's Dantian. It was called the Five Elements Celestial Vanquishing Sword.

The second step was to gather the Four Elements' killing intent and condense the World Vanquishing Sword, which was to inscribe the four Heavenly Treasures of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water on his spirit according to the method of cultivating Dao techniques. However, he couldn't cultivate four immortal techniques like the first step, which was to cultivate five Dao techniques and divine abilities.

Because immortal techniques couldn't be cultivated by those who hadn't reached the Primordial Spirit, there was no exception. When Shi Xuan reached the Primordial Spirit, he would be able to combine the Four Elements into one and condense a Four Elements Vanquishing Sword, whose power was equivalent to a second-level immortal technique.

The third step was to gather the Heaven's killing intent, the Earth's killing intent, and the Man's killing intent. These three mysterious auras, and with the help of the last Heaven's Tribulation, condense a Three Elements Vanquishing Sword, whose power was equivalent to a sixth-level immortal technique.

The fourth and fifth steps were the steps that were lost, but Qingyun Zi had briefly introduced them at the beginning. The fourth step was to condense a Yin and Yang Dao Vanquishing Sword.

And the fifth step was to find a universe that was on the verge of destruction, and insert the four flying swords that had been refined to the level of the Great Way into the four pillars of heaven and earth. Finally, he would use a secret method to refine them for thousands of years, and then combine them into one. Taking advantage of the time when the Yin and Yang Dao Seeds were condensed, he would seize the fortune of the universe and refine it into a Fate-extinguishing Picture!

And this Fate-extinguishing Picture contained the four great Connate Dao Seeds of Massacre, Extermination, Destruction, and Doom. Among these Dao Seeds, besides the Massacre Dao Seed, which was the opposite of the Life and Death Dao Seed, the Extermination, Destruction, and Doom Dao Seeds were the opposite of the Yin and Yang Dao Seed. Then, he would slowly fuse one of them with his body and enter the third step of Dao Integration. This would be much easier.

Only now did Shi Xuan understand why Qingyun Zi kept him in suspense at the beginning. Because this involved another cultivation method, he was afraid that Shi Xuan wouldn't be able to firm his Dao path and thus wouldn't be able to reach the Gold Core Realm. Therefore, it was better to let him think that he was using external objects to practice Dao techniques and supernatural powers.

And this also strengthened Shi Xuan's determination to condense the Yin and Yang Dao Seed, because this path would lead directly to the Creation Realm! Of course, he still had to slowly plan for the matter of Daozu.

Withdrawing his Divine Sense from the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers, Shi Xuan played with the Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword in his hand. It was small and exquisite, and the five colors of red, green, black, yellow, and white circulated on it. However, compared to its beautiful and dreamy appearance, its power was shockingly great.

In fact, Shi Xuan was secretly amused because this Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword was condensed from the five elements' killing intent and had a natural restraint on the power of the five elements. It couldn't be blocked by anything below the eighth level of Dao techniques, but it had another use that made Shi Xuan feel a little amused.

That was, besides slashing the physical body and soul, it could also slash a person's Karmic Luck. No wonder the picture that was refined in the end was called Extermination.

The matter of Karmic Luck, for ordinary cultivators, was illusory, but for those who had secret techniques or reached the Celestial Realm, there were rules to follow. In fact, they often used secret techniques to increase the Karmic Luck for themselves or their disciples, so that they could turn misfortunes into blessings, and even have many miraculous encounters.

The Karmic Luck gathered by these Heavenly Immortals was only a small amount, whereas, some people were born with the Karmic Luck of the entire Boundless World, and they really could get whatever they wanted. They could obtain a supreme cultivation technique just by tripping when they went out, and they could even encounter drop dead gorgeous high level female cultivators on the way while crying and shouting that they wanted to marry them. Besides causing others to be dumbstruck, they could only feel envy, jealousy, hatred, and helplessness in secret.

And the Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword and the three flying swords behind it all had the ability to cut through Karmic Luck and destroy it.

As Shi Xuan was thinking, two misty White Light flew over from afar. So, he put away the Five Elements Immortal Vanquishing Sword, smiled, and said with his Divine Sense, "Thank you, Elder Qiao and Elder Shen, for seeking justice for me." Because of the relationship between Shen Xian Yun and Mo Yuan, Shi Xuan could only continue to act as a junior.
