Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Capítulo 1156: Chapter 49: True Form of the Decayed Great Tao River_2

In the Great Wilderness, countless runes were encountered, but ultimately, they could only be utilized.

And in the case of utilizing extraordinary power, it didn’t take much effort to see through some of the essence of the runes.

“Does this mean that while comprehending the Great Tao, I will also comprehend the forces entangled with it?”

Wang Sheng did not know if this was a blessing or a curse.

After all, the forces behind it were clearly not simple.

But after thinking about it, he still decided to give it a try.

This could very well be the source of everything.

By not entering it, but merely comprehending it, there shouldn’t be any problem.

With the progress bar as a safeguard, there’s no need to worry about anything going wrong in cultivation.

“Starting from the previously built rune system, which can display past scenes using the power of time, it must be extraordinary…”

Wang Sheng possessed two systems.

He directly illustrated them.

As expected, the Great Tao reacted, seemingly revealing a glimpse of its essence.

And this was the moment he wanted to seize.

Because it was just a superficial comprehension, it didn’t take much of his time.

After opening his eyes, the first thing he checked was the progress bar.

“The progress of the Destiny Great Tao (Creation) has improved, does this mean that the decayed Great Tao is truly the Destiny Great Tao?”

The progress increase in other areas was almost negligible, but the improvement in the Destiny Great Tao (Creation) could not be ignored.

This was his greatest progress.

“Why is the Destiny Great Tao decaying?”

The decay of the Great Tao was not something he had considered before.

The Great Tao could be said to be the basic rules of the starry sky. If the basic rules have issues, then it means the starry sky itself is in trouble.

This is not a small problem.

If not handled well, the whole starry sky could face the danger of overturning.

However, before his inner worries could arise, he noticed another peculiar place.

He found that his immortal power was surging, resisting something.

Although this surge quickly subsided, it was enough for him to give it attention.

The power of immortals is immense; even if it can swiftly annihilate an opponent, the fact that it requires immortal power to resist is already remarkable.

After all, ordinary things, let alone requiring the intervention of immortal power, would find it difficult to even break through his body’s instinctive resistance.

He was, after all, a conceptual being.

He was the concept itself.

What could possibly threaten him?

“Even if it was just for a moment, it must be taken seriously…”

Wang Sheng directly conducted a source trace.

Soon he knew what had just happened.

In simple terms, he had just been attacked by a power similar to a curse.

Coincidentally, he had some impression of this power.

“Although there are some differences, this is very similar to the power exhibited by Chong Xu and the Dust Beast, so is this the other type of power hidden within runes? While I’m comprehending the Great Tao, I’m also comprehending this power, but this power itself is not meant to be comprehended, it even poses a danger, even directly threatening my true form, requiring immortal power to obliterate it…”

He looked towards the decayed Great Tao.

“Opportunity and crisis coexist. If one comprehends the decayed Great Tao, it can be certain that I can save a lot of time and possibly create a new Destiny Great Tao in a few thousand years, but at the same time, I must deal with unknown threats. What should I choose?”

In fact, the answer was already clear.

“Ha, the thing I lack the least is time, why take this risk…”

Originally, the thought was that the progress bar could serve as a bottom line, at most comprehending a type of power.

But now, not only could he not comprehend the power, there would also be attacks, so of course, he was not willing to continue.

Time, for him, was not a valuable thing.

With the existence of the progress bar, shortcuts could be taken, but not on paths full of traps.

Wang Sheng unequivocally destroyed the incarnation depicting the runes.

Once the incarnation disappeared, he could no longer see the existence of the decayed Great Tao.

Yet his expression did not change.

There was no hesitation, and there was nothing to feel sorry about.

“Although I cannot gain much benefit through the decayed Great Tao, there are still significant gains, having found a place suspected to be the source of the Dust Beast as well as traces of the Destiny Great Tao. If the Destiny Great Tao I create is perfected, what will happen?”

He felt that the Destiny Great Tao he was creating might very well become the key.

“It’s not just the Destiny Great Tao, the Starry Sky Rules protecting Xuan Yuan might not only be to prepare Xuan Yuan for future star calamities but more importantly to suppress the fate of the starry sky, making it more stable.”

The starry sky now has considerable troubles; it is not stable.

The existence of the Thirteen Realms can make the starry sky more stable and prosperous.

But now, the Thirteen Realms are extremely rare, making each one incredibly precious.

If he were to lose to Xuan Yuan, the starry sky would respond in the same way.

“It seems I must find a way to cultivate some Thirteen Realms to stabilize the starry sky.”

Though he did not know what the outcome of the starry sky’s destruction would be, one thing was certain—the starry sky being more stable was better.

“With New Land Starry Sky having me, it’s not a major issue, the fortune being suppressed, but what about the Old Land Starry Sky…”

His influence spanned three starry skies.

Old Land, New Land, and Xuan Yuan Starry Sky.

New Land had him, and Xuan Yuan Starry Sky had the Xuan Yuan Palace.

The Thirteen Realms couldn’t affect the other starry sky, thus leaving the Old Land as it was.

Previously, it wasn’t much, cultivation was somewhat difficult, but the impact wasn’t particularly large.

However, now that the existence of the Dust Beast and the decayed Great Tao has been discovered, having the Thirteen Realms as a suppressor is obviously a good thing.

“I can’t cultivate them in a short time, where to find a third existing Thirteen Realm…”

Before Wang Sheng could finish his sentence, he was already stunned.

“An existing Thirteen Realm, it turns out there is indeed one…”

The Star Beast Ancestor, serving as Ksitigarbha in the Underworld, although the position of Ksitigarbha wasn’t formed yet, the benefits gained had pushed it into the Thirteen Realms.

During the tens of thousands of years Wang Sheng studied the Destiny Great Tao, the Star Beast Ancestor had awakened once, successfully crossing the threshold of the Thirteen Realms.

Now, it had plunged into slumber again to stabilize its strength.

Not every cultivator could easily break through and become a strong one after doing so like him.

Now, it was almost time to awaken again.

“Just to suppress the fate of the Old Land Starry Sky.”

Having thought of a plan, Wang Sheng directly went to the Underworld to awaken the Star Beast Ancestor.

“Xing Hou, wake up!”

With a single call, the entire massive body of the Star Beast Ancestor twitched, and before long, its eyes opened, seeing the presence of Wang Sheng.

“I greet the True Saint… May I ask what orders the True Saint has for waking me?”

Wang Sheng had no intention of hiding anything, so he directly said, “I intend for you to take control of the Old Land Starry Sky for a period. As a Thirteen Realm, you should have also sensed the method of ascension within the Thirteen Realms.”

The Star Beast Ancestor naturally already knew.

In fact, it had already planned its future cultivation path.

The Underworld obviously possessed a position too, and its prospects were very bright.

Refining the position of Ksitigarbha, at the top in the Underworld, was clearly a route with great potential.

By accepting the duties of Ksitigarbha, it would eventually sense the position of Ksitigarbha, so there was no need to worry about the path.

On the contrary, returning to the starry sky and taking control of the former Old Land position meant handling the old position.

Nevertheless, this was a command from Wang Sheng, so the Star Beast Ancestor quickly made its choice.

“I respectfully comply with the True Saint’s orders. However, could you please specify what exactly I need to do?”

The position of Ksitigarbha had yet to appear, so even as a Thirteen Realm, it wasn’t clear on exactly what to do.

“You don’t need to do anything, just enter the Old Land; besides, this is just a temporary arrangement for you, I won’t have you truly take control of the Old Land position permanently, Ksitigarbha is indeed your main responsibility.” Wang Sheng understood that the Old Land position couldn’t compare to the Ksitigarbha position, so he specifically said this to reassure the Star Beast Ancestor.

The Star Beast Ancestor was immediately reassured upon hearing this.

Even having reached the Thirteen Realms, it had no intention of disobeying the orders of the True Saint.

Naturally, keeping the position of Ksitigarbha was optimal.

On the other hand, the Old Land Starry Sky underwent a significant change.

In tens of thousands of years, the True Saint issued his first command to the Old Land Starry Sky.

To unify all the factions of the Old Land into one force.

As soon as the command was issued, it created a massive upheaval.
