Chapter 690 - 679: Ten Thousand Dao Forest

Xiong Ba looked towards the direction of the land:

"I want to delve into the depths of the earth to see what’s there! If I can obtain any fortuitous encounters, my rise to power is not far off."

Xiong Ba felt that merely following the usual cultivation path,

would definitely lead to being eliminated by the world.

So he decided to take a different path.

Seize fortuitous encounters!

He had long noticed the unusualness of this Western Realm, and now with the land’s strange tremors resonating with that fleeting sword qi from the Celestial Extreme!

It further confirmed the divinity of this place!

How could Xiong Ba hesitate; he made a decisive decision and immediately went to the source of the tremors to explore.

...

Throughout Jiuzhou.

The appearance of this astonishing sword qi attracted the attention of many experts, causing them to emerge from seclusion.

As a result, the Jianghu became increasingly unpredictable, with constant conflicts.

...

Ding Ling knew nothing about this.

After the Sword Spirit possessed him.

The memories of the Sword Scorpion devoured by the Sword Spirit, including parts related to Xiaao Aoshi, transformed into streams of light rushing into his Sea of Consciousness.

In the next instant.

[Ten Thousand Dao Forest Inner Power Heart Method Full Level]

[Inner Power Value +300]

[Ten Thousand Dao Forest External Skill Heart Method Full Level]

[Agility +1.5]

The spiritual vitality within a hundred miles surged.

Transforming into Ding Ling’s Dantian.

Soon after, a mysterious drop of True Water appeared within Ding Ling’s Dantian.

This True Water flickered unpredictably, presenting seven colors, seemingly like an ice-fire crystal, extremely divine.

"Is this the Ten Thousand Dao Forest?"

Ding Ling was moved.

With the Ten Thousand Dao Forest reaching full level,

Ding Ling finally realized the power of this cultivation technique.

This method transcends human nature, allowing one to control the human mind, and condense illusions.

Of course, this is just one of its effects.

Most importantly, this method can contain the Power of Heaven and Earth, allowing it to freely absorb various types of martial arts masterpieces, even those that are mutually repellent!

The key comprises eight pathways: Heaven, Earth, Strange, Righteous, Yin, Yang, Life, and Dissipation.

Once all pathways are mastered,

one can freely condense the obtained martial arts into one within the Ten Thousand Dao Forest.

And through Xiaao Aoshi’s partial memories.

Ding Ling mastered five paths in total: the Dao of the Strange and Mysterious, Dao of Guarding, Beast Heart Strong Dao, Emperor Sword Dao, Chaotic Heaven Demon Dao.

The Dao of the Strange and Mysterious allows one to induce illusions in opponents! Can construct many Illusion Realms using the mind!

Dao of Guarding: Able to sense any disturbance within ten feet.

Beast Heart Strong Dao: Stimulates the beast heart.

Emperor Sword Dao: Xiaao Aoshi’s lifelong sword skill, infused with Emperor’s Sword Qi.

Chaotic Heaven Demon Dao: Formed from the essence of Chaotic Heaven Four Extremities Demon Dao, can harness the power of wind, thunder, fire, and rain for one’s use.

In total, five paths.

Xiaao Aoshi’s strongest are the Dao of the Strange and Mysterious, Emperor Sword Dao, Dao of Guarding.

Regarding Chaotic Heaven Demon Dao, Xiaao Aoshi only partially mastered it, thus it couldn’t be genuinely utilized. Once fully mastered, one can naturally mobilize the forces of wind, thunder, fire, and rain from nature.

However, for Ding Ling,

he only needs the mantra; any Dao, technique, or skill reaches full level by just looking once.

Therefore, the Chaotic Heaven Demon Dao that Xiaao Aoshi only initially mastered, he mastered to full level in an instant!

"Could the Chaotic Heaven Demon Dao possibly be the Great Demon God’s martial art, Chaotic Heaven Four Extremities?"

Ding Ling was thoughtful:

"It seems the parts of the mantra I obtained are most likely from Chaotic Heaven Four Extremities! It’s not surprising that Xiaao Aoshi and the Great Demon God, being brothers, would know each other’s techniques and mantras, but one’s energy is limited, so each of them cultivated one cultivation technique. Now it seems, even if each cultivated one, they couldn’t cultivate to Great Perfection."

Xiaao Aoshi’s Ten Thousand Dao Forest only reached a Perfect Realm.

It’s still a long way from Great Perfection.

The so-called Ten Thousand Dao is more of a misnomer, amounting to only five.

And Ding Ling integrated the heart method mantra of the Ten Thousand Dao Forest.

Summarized his entire learning into a few new pathways, and utilizing the ability of the Ten Thousand Dao Forest to govern myriad martial arts, made his somewhat chaotic Dantian instantly become peaceful and stable.

"As the inner power heart techniques I learn become more numerous and powerful, the harmonizing ability of techniques like Tai Chi Qi Force and Muscle-Tendon Changing Classic’s Qi Force is quickly becoming ineffective. If it truly fails, the future that awaits me could be cultivation deviation!"

"Fortunately, Ten Thousand Dao Forest appeared!"

Ten Thousand Dao Forest could be said to be a timely rain.

With it, there is no longer any need to worry about cultivation deviation, and martial arts heart methods can be learned freely, because once learned, will be governed and categorized as one of the paths within the Ten Thousand Dao Forest!

Ding Ling glanced at the character panel:

[True Power Value: 79 points]

His strength increased once more.

This Ten Thousand Dao Forest is a technique that has reached a High Tier of Shattering, with an extremely high difficulty of cultivation, reaching an astonishing level! For ordinary people, let alone perfection, just reaching entry level could be considered a genius.

"No wonder the Great Demon God, and Xiaao Aoshi, the two brothers, only learned one method each."

Ding Ling was at ease.

He operated the heart method mantra of Ten Thousand Dao Forest, and the chaotic Dantian immediately centered with Ten Thousand Dao Forest, presenting a Tai Chi Bagua pattern.

The True Water, True Qi from the Eternal Youth Technique, Nine Yang Divine Skill, Demon Scripture, Black Tortoise True Skill, and other divine skills, transformed into streams of light, taking root like a great tree in one corner of the Eight Trigrams pattern!

As the Eight Trigrams pattern slowly rotated,

these full-level divine skills would operate automatically, absorbing and exhaling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism Essence Qi!

"No wonder it’s the Ten Thousand Dao Forest!"

"This Dantian appears so much purer and more peaceful now."

Previously, it always seemed chaotic and unsettling.

Simply because Ding Ling also knew, without an absolute ’Harmonizer.’ This Dantian would explode sooner or later. Now there’s no need to worry about this issue.

"Unexpectedly, after devouring and refining the Domain Crystal, the Sword Spirit can even strip or devour the memory of a ’Spirit’ or a ’Consciousness Body.’ That’s incredibly strong."

Ding Ling recalled what Jian Yue said to him.

Only then did he understand why Jian Yue was so confident.

It turns out he was confident in stripping his memory!

"As long as within the domain of the Sword Spirit, as long as it’s not a divine object that transcends domains, then everything is like its plaything! It can be freely stripped and controlled by it!"

Ding Ling took out the Fire Finger, looking at the extremely dim flame on it, thinking:

"This Fire Finger is so impressive. It can burn the spirit of Jian Yue who held the Domain Crystal, which clearly indicates it’s a leftover from a Divine Being who has transcended domains!

Who knows where Emperor Shitian found it from?

And Emperor Shitian found it but couldn’t use it, instead sealed it with millennium cold jade. Perhaps it’s because the energy on this Fire Finger is too thin, needing to absorb the spirit of millennium cold jade to become perfect again?"

Ding Ling placed the Fire Finger back into the box of millennium cold jade.

Carefully sensed it.

Indeed.

The Fire Finger was truly absorbing a kind of ’spirit’ from the millennium cold jade.

This sort of spirit is hidden within the world, only found on divine objects, and the millennium cold jade, being an absolute spiritual treasure, naturally also possesses this spirit.

"It seems Emperor Shitian escaped too hastily, or perhaps he thought I wouldn’t be able to find this Fire Finger? Or he believes the energy sucked by this Fire Finger is not enough, is not yet perfect? Therefore, this box was left untouched?"
