Chapter 823

As soon as he combined the Tao Te Ching with his own aura, Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit felt cold but not cold, gentle but not gentle. Waves of moral aura rippled and immediately converged. Then, the thin book turned into a black and white light and entered Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit. It resided next to the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin Yang Double Qi Bottle, facing the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife.

Shi Xuan was not too happy about the refining of this secret treasure. He continued to calm his mind and began to visualize the Void Opening. An incomparably small and incomparably large deep black spot appeared. The Primordial Five Tai Chi were born one after another. Chaos opened, Yin and Yang evolved, and time and space separated. It was a spectacular scene. If one's cultivation of the Taoist Heart was slightly lacking, one would be lost in this grand, transcendent, and shocking scene.

Thanks to the direct understanding when he went through the Decline of Lifespan, Shi Xuan only spent about three hundred years to successfully visualize the Void Opening 78 years ago. He gradually became familiar with it and deepened his understanding.

With the Void Opening visualization that pointed directly to the Yin-Yang Great Way, in addition to the True Meaning of the Great Way in the Secret Cave of Time, Shi Xuan had been deepening his understanding and accumulation in this aspect. Therefore, the cultivation of the Yin and Yang Chaotic Divine Light was very fast. It only took him more than seventy years to advance to the Ninth Level, which shortened the time by nearly four hundred years. If he wanted to cultivate the Three Powers Destruction Swordsmanship, the Four Symbols Destruction Swordsmanship, and the Five Elements Immortal Destruction Swordsmanship, it would take at least another five hundred years.

The difference between the basic Immortal Arts began to show.

As for Shi Xuan's Yin and Yang Thunder and Lightning Immortal Arts, it would take 3,600 years to cultivate to the Ninth Level. However, with the addition of these two aspects and the passing of 600 years, he would be able to advance one by one in another 700 years. The same was true for the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin Yang Double Qi Bottle, the two Yin and Yang Natal Spiritual Treasures.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Karma Elixir Book, and other non-Yin and Yang Thunder and Lightning Immortal Arts that were in line with his nature needed to be cultivated step by step for about three thousand years.

As for the other Immortal Arts that did not suit his nature, Shi Xuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly. "Without seven or eight thousand years, it would be difficult for me to fully master them. If I don't use the Delaying Secret Art, I reckon that I would have either passed through the decline of my Taoist Heart and become an invincible Dao Lord, or I would be in the stage of madness and unable to stop, or I would have simply died."

Shi Xuan cultivated the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light as he visualized the Void Splitting Technique. His Soul Core changed, becoming black and white, dark and deep, and it began to circulate and evolve according to the true meaning of the Grand Dao of Yin and Yang that he comprehended and understood.

After an Immortal Art attained the ninth level, it was already perfect, and the closer it was to the Grand Dao, the closer it was to the peak of the ninth level. In this aspect, Great Divine Abilities and Immortal Arts that had already comprehended the true meaning of the Grand Dao were blessed by the heavens, and as soon as they advanced, they would attain the peak of the ninth level.

If one wanted to surpass the level of the Great Dao, there was no need to visualize the addition of the Dao Seed characters. Instead, one had to link this Celestial Art with the primordial spirit that was attached to the Great Dao. On one hand, the primordial spirit would borrow the power of the Great Divinity Celestial Art to combine with the Great Divinity Celestial Art, and on the other hand, it would evolve the Great Divinity Celestial Art itself according to the circulation method of the Great Divinity Celestial Art that was fed back from this combination.

When the Great Way was completely integrated with the Great Way, the Great Divine Sense would also operate in line with the Great Way. This Great Divine Sense would become a real Great Way attack. The word "Immortal Art" could be removed, and it would become a real Great Divine Sense.

The Immortal Art that was not derived from the fundamental Cultivation Method could not surpass the level of the Great Way!

Therefore, at this stage, Shi Xuan's Three Talents Destruction Sword, Four Symbols Destruction Sword, and Five Elements Immortal Destruction Sword could not surpass the level of the Great Way even if they were cultivated to the ninth level. Only when Shi Xuan became a Half-step Golden Immortal and the Yin and Yang Dao-Destroying Sword was born from the mystery of creation, could the three flying swords cultivate to the level of the Great Way with its help. Unless Shi Xuan had another creation, they could only stay at the level of the Great Way at the ninth level and could never be improved.

In the Great Way of Yin and Yang, which seemed to be everywhere and within reach, Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit, which was in the deepest part of the Great Way of Yin and Yang, which was very compatible with him, slowly changed. It emitted the same black and white light as the surroundings, sensing the changes of Yin and Yang in the surroundings.

When the Primordial Spirit completely turned into the Yin and Yang Chaotic Divine Light, the Great Way of Yin and Yang was immediately divided and broken, and the Primordial Spirit itself was also separated by the Great Way of Yin and Yang.

The Primordial Spirit slowly merged with each other, but only a little bit was integrated. It was like a child who was afraid of fire but yearned for it, gently touching the candle flame with his finger.

Even though it was just a touch, Shi Xuan's expression was very solemn in his visualization. Unlike a Half-step Golden Immortal who had gone through the Decline of Taoist Heart, this kind of integration with the Great Way of Yin and Yang was easy for the Four-tribulation Lord Of Heaven to be confused by the mysterious Great Way. His body and mind would be assimilated by it, and he would lose all his nature and intelligence. He would be completely integrated into the Great Way and die!

Many Four-tribulation Lord Of Heaven had died because of this. Only those under Daozu were better off, because the Great Way of Yin and Yang was often combined with Daozu. At the critical moment, Daozu could stop the assimilation with a slight thought.

The endless and mysterious operation of the Great Way of Yin and Yang followed the Primordial Spirit and shone into Shi Xuan's mind, as if it wanted to perform the entire mystery of the Great Way of Yin and Yang in Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit.

It was vast, grand, boundless, boundless, and indescribable. It made one addicted to it, wanting to explore it, wishing that they could merge with it.

As soon as this feeling appeared, Shi Xuan, who had been maintaining a clear mind, suddenly felt a great sense of danger. He immediately woke up from his meditation.

After a while, Shi Xuan, who had woken up from his meditation, seemed to be fully awake. He let out a long sigh and said, "It's really dangerous to come into contact with the level of a Half-step Golden Immortal as a Four-stage Lord Of Heaven."

However, in this dangerous situation, Shi Xuan had gained a lot. He had comprehended a trace of the mystery of the operation of the Great Way of Yin and Yang.

After calming himself down, Shi Xuan continued to cultivate the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light and let it operate and evolve according to that trace of mystery.

After a long time, Shi Xuan slowly opened his eyes. A dark and deep light that seemed to be black and white flashed in his pupils. "If everything goes well, with the addition of the 'Void Opening' and the True Meaning of the Great Way, within two thousand years, the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light can be upgraded to the level of the Origin of the Great Way, which is equivalent to the 'All Dharma Convergence' stage of the Dao Monarch. Well, actually, it should be equivalent to the initial stage of the True Meaning of the Dao Monarch."

Among the four realms of a Half-step Golden Immortal, the 'All Dharma Convergence' and 'Perfected Dao Foundation' were painstaking work, while the True Meaning of the Dao Monarch and the 'Heretic Dao Development' needed to be proven. Among them, the True Meaning of the Dao Monarch was equivalent to the True Meaning of the Great Way of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Universe Creation, the Dao of Division, and the Dao of Derivation. Therefore, once Shi Xuan could become a Half-step Golden Immortal, he could achieve the 'All Dharma Convergence', perfect his Dao Foundation, and deepen his understanding of the True Meaning of the Dao Monarch at the same time.

Speaking of which, after the 'All Dharma Convergence', many Half-step Golden Immortals had to spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years before they could prove the True Meaning of the Dao Monarch. The difference between a supreme cultivation technique with a cultivation technique that could transcend realms and a cultivation technique that could directly lead to the Dao Monarch was obvious. It was not just the former that could transcend realms!

As for many of the Half-step Golden Immortals under Daozu, their Great Way of transcending cultivation technique had already been occupied. Therefore, when they wanted to fuse with another Great Way, they would need to accumulate for a long time before they could see the True Meaning of the Dao Monarch.

After he was done with his cultivation, Shi Xuan decided to take a trip to the West Wilderness. As a True Monarch of Yu Yutian, Shi Xuan had only gone deep into the West Wilderness once when he went to the Grotto-heaven of the Heaven Sword Sect. After that, he had never explored the place again. It was truly a waste of God's gift.

With Shi Xuan's current realm, the Grotto-heaven ruins and wreckage were no longer of much use. After all, the current decline of his Dao Heart did not require external objects. However, just the space-time storm in the inner layer of the West Wilderness could provide many benefits to Shi Xuan's current ability to manipulate time. Not to mention that there might be traces of a great battle between Golden Immortals in the core. That would be the opportunity to face the Great Way directly and clearly see the Great Way manifested in the world.

Moreover, Shi Xuan also wanted to take the opportunity to muddy the waters and let some of the big shots who were spying on him jump out. While they were not sure of Daozu's plan, they would not dare to attack him rashly, lest they fall into a trap. At the same time, he would know which Great Mediums there were so that he could be on guard. After all, since then, Life and Death Daozu had not given him any hints. He needed to rely on himself. In the inner layer of the West Wilderness, he had the Bell of Time with him. Half-step Golden Immortals could easily lose him.

As for those spying on him at the level of Daozu, Shi Xuan did not dare to think about it. It was better to leave it to Life and Death Daozu to cover up as it was beyond his ability. In fact, without Daozu's cover, just the slightest change in his Primordial Spirit would probably be clearly exposed to Daozu while he was cultivating. Since then, Life and Death Daozu had not given him any hints. He needed to rely on himself. In the inner layer of the West Wilderness, he had the Bell of Time with him, so it was easy for Half-Step Golden Immortals to lose him.

…

The moment Shi Xuan's real body left the Shangqing Shenxiao World, in the Shenhuang Great World, Shenhuang who was sitting on the throne suddenly opened his eyes. There was no strange light shooting out, but he saw Yu Yutian through countless space-time.

"Has he begun to travel outside to prepare for the decline of his Dao-heart?" Shenhuang who was wearing a golden robe softly muttered to himself. Then, he saw Shi Xuan entering the West Wilderness and frowned slightly, "Going to the West Wilderness? Could it be related to Life and Death Daozu?! "

With that thought, Shenhuang couldn't sit still. Although he was still in the Perfect Dao Foundation, and he didn't know when he would be able to witness the External Dao Developing Technique, and it was impossible for him to 'enslave' the Dao Seed, but his nature was firm. Whether it was being domineering or being humble, whether it was being worshipped by countless people, or being despised and hated, it didn't affect his heart at all. He wouldn't waver or feel aggrieved because of it. Step by step, he only walked towards controlling the Great Dao. Therefore, since the Dao Embryo of Life and Death might appear, Shenhuang couldn't help but covet it.

He thought about it and still didn't dare to take action personally. Life and Death Daozu killed people invisibly. Therefore, with a thought, he summoned a Lord Of Heaven who was under his protection from other Great Thousand Worlds.

…

In the Land of Treasures, there was a row of pitch-black coffins in the morgue of a small city. The gloomy wind blew through the hall, causing people to shudder.

Suddenly, an almost invisible crack appeared above the row of coffins. The crack was filled with the Qi of Death, Qi of Yin, and the Qi of the Nine Underworlds. It was terrifying and eerie!

When the crack disappeared, the coffin lid of the coffin in the middle suddenly stood up. The dead man with long hair covering his face and wearing a white shroud slowly sat up.

As he sat up, there seemed to be divine golden lotuses growing from the ground in the entire morgue. They bloomed rapidly, bringing with them a fresh and transcendent smell, sweeping away the Qi of Yin and Qi of Death, turning the place into a pure land.
