"Finished reading!?" At this moment, the spirit of the cave looked at Yunhua.
Yunhua nodded slightly and said, "The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit!"
The white-haired old man was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Your desire to seek the Dao is truly strong. It seems that the countless years have not affected your Dao heart at all."
"No, I was still affected. I feel that my Dao heart is becoming more and more brilliant." Yunhua shook his head and smiled. "I have a bright pearl that has long been locked away by worldly troubles. One day, the dust will be cleared and the light will shine, illuminating thousands of mountains and rivers."
"I look forward to the day when you illuminate the mountains and rivers."
As the spirit of the cave dwelling spoke, it casually pointed, and instantly the entire hall shimmered with light. A hidden space opened, and eleven jade slips flew out, along with a dazzling divine thought.
That divine thought was brighter and more dazzling than any gemstone, awe-inspiring.
“These are the eleventh volume of the Ultimate Path, and my master’s Supreme Path!” the white-haired old man said.
"Eleven volumes of the Ultimate Path, plus the one I showed you before, make a total of twelve volumes. These are the twelve incredibly talented Ultimate Dao Lords my master encountered throughout the universe, but unfortunately, all of them failed to achieve Dao Integration." The white-robed elder looked at Yun Hua. "You are also following the Ultimate Path, aren't you?"
Chapter 1097 Supreme Inheritance
"They failed, but I might not." Yunhua took the eleven volumes of the Ultimate Path directly and began to quietly browse through them.
The eleven volumes of the Ultimate Path encompass eleven paths: Darkness, Light, Thunder, Pure Yang, Pure Yin, Space, Staff Path, Axe Path, Sound Path, Chaos Path, and Destruction Path.
Each of these eleven ultimate paths was exquisite, no less than the ultimate fire path he had seen before.
However, Yunhua had a vague feeling that none of the eleven ultimate paths, nor the ultimate fire path he had seen before, were as perfect as his own ultimate path.
"Perhaps, my ultimate path is flawless?" This thought couldn't help but surface in Yunhua's mind.
But as soon as this thought appeared, he immediately cut it off, because the ultimate path was the most important one, related to his own union with the Dao. No matter what, he had to be cautious, cautious, and cautious again.
Because at this stage, experiences from other worlds have become useless, and one must rely on oneself.
Compared to the other twelve Ultimate Dao Lords who had previously failed, he no longer had any advantage.
"Finally, there is this Supreme Dao!" After comprehending the remaining eleven volumes of the Ultimate Dao, Yunhua finally picked up the Supreme Divine Sense and completely immersed himself in it.
A surge of divine sense entered, revealing a "school" where a young man in white robes was giving a lesson. Yunhua transformed into his disciple, quietly listening to his teachings.
The supreme path is inconceivable; this is the first time Yunhua has encountered such a method of teaching.
Time flowed by, as if billions of years had passed, before the Supreme Being finally demonstrated his path in its entirety.
At this moment, however, only one day has passed in the outside world.
Seeing that Yunhua had awakened from the Supreme Path, the spirit of the cave said, "I have shown you everything in the first hall. Now you can go to the next hall, which is also the last one."
"Follow me!" The spirit of the cave led Yunhua forward.
Soon they reached the end of the main hall, where a doorway naturally appeared in the original wall. After entering, they arrived at the second main hall.
This hall was significantly smaller, only a hundred feet in diameter. The entire hall was octagonal in shape, and bookshelves were placed all around it, with scrolls of jade slips on them. However, the number of scrolls was small, only a fraction of the size of the previous hall, amounting to only tens of thousands of scrolls.
Yunhua didn't ask, so the spirit of the cave naturally didn't need to say anything more. He pointed to the center of the main hall. Soon, a bulge appeared there, eventually transforming into a stone platform shaped like a futon.
"You should sit there cross-legged for now!" the spirit of the cave said.
Yunhua sat cross-legged as instructed.
Instantly, a chilling aura coursed through his body, and almost instantly, Yunhua felt that his thinking speed was many times faster than before.
Sitting cross-legged here is almost like being in a state of enlightenment at all times.
"The core of the cave dwelling that my master painstakingly built is here," said the spirit of the cave dwelling. "The power of countless arrays and restrictions converges here, making this place almost capable of enlightening cultivators."
"This stone platform was originally for the master's own use, but now it has been left to a destined person. Since you have passed the master's test, as long as you are alive, you can use this stone as you wish."
The spirit of the cave said, looking at Yunhua who remained calm: "You are quite composed. Such a Dao heart is indeed terrifying!"
After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "My master made this arrangement primarily because of a wish. You should have learned my master's 'Ninefold Space' technique, right? That is, the technique that can open up a blue-and-white space in the sea of consciousness, and can transform a cultivator's magical power, divine power, and mental power into a kind of mist."
"This is both my master's most prized technique and his most regrettable one. This technique has many flaws, such as the requirement to master it before reaching the World Realm, and the inability of the mist to leave the body."
Yunhua nodded slightly; he had known about these "flaws" for a long time.
"However, these are just minor flaws. If the master is willing, they can be easily resolved," the spirit of the cave said, shaking its head.
"The biggest flaw of this nine-layered restriction is that it can only convert the power of the Dao Lord of Life and Death, but cannot convert the power of the Eternal Emperor."
"In the master's vision, this method should have twelve layers of restrictions. Once mastered, it can transform not only the power of an Eternal Emperor, but even the divine power and magical power of a Supreme Being."
"Actually, the reason why the master created this method was mainly because of the Sith. They have no divine power or magic power, only a kind of power like mist."
This power possesses all the uses of both magical and divine power, but is far more potent, much like the mist power transformed from the nine layers of restrictions created by its master.
"The master is dead. His greatest wish was that future generations could perfect his method and develop it to the tenth, eleventh, and even the final twelfth level."
As it spoke, the spirit of the cave pointed to the bookshelves, "These jade slips are all references and thought processes used by the master to create this method."
"This is very difficult, so the master has left you a treasure that can help you!" the spirit of the cave continued. "However, before that, you need to comprehend the Ten Great Methods first."
"As a Dao Lord, the profundity of each of your methods must reach the level of a Holy City Lord. Your current Ultimate Fire Dao can be considered one, but you still need nine more."
The spirit of the cave said, "Only after you have created ten different methods can you prove your talent in creating methods, and then the supreme treasure left by the master can be given to you to use."
Fearing Yunhua might refuse, the spirit of the cave continued, "That treasure will also be of great help to your 'merging with the Dao,' even a Supreme Being would feel sorry for it. That's why it requires you to create the Ten Great Methods; otherwise, this treasure will be buried even if you are given to you."
"The chaotic universe, though mysterious and full of countless treasures, is number one in its ability to aid cultivation. Naturally, it is also number one in its ability to help one achieve Dao."
The spirit of the cave knew the difficulty of achieving the ultimate Dao, so it constantly tempted Yunhua with the promise of "achieving the Dao."
"Don't worry, ten methods are fine! Even if you don't say it, I'm prepared to create some methods before I reach the Dao to further prove my own path!" Yunhua said directly.
"It seems you already know a lot about the Dao Integration! Then I won't bother you any longer. Just call me when you need me."
The spirit of the cave smiled slightly and then withdrew from the main hall.
After the spirit of the cave withdrew, Yunhua began to think things through.
What exactly are the ten Dharma gates to be created?
Various methods from different worlds reappeared one after another in Yunhua's mind. Whether it was the Dao of Arrays, the Dao of Alchemy, the Dao of Weapon Forging, the Dao of Talismans, or many other methods, they all surfaced in Yunhua's mind.
But in the end, ten images surfaced in his mind—the Ten Fiends!
Upon realizing this, Yunhua couldn't help but smile: "Ten Fiends, oh Ten Fiends, I truly am still bound to you. Very well, let my Ten Great Methods transform the power of the Ten Fiends, turning their Dao into the methods and the Great Dao of this world."
Chapter 1098 Localization of the Ten Fierce Techniques
"Perhaps, in this process, I can also see some flaws and shortcomings in my ultimate fire path; perhaps after returning in the future, this power of mine will be easier to integrate into my original body," Yunhua thought to himself.
The Ten Fiends are the highest race in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, and each of them possesses terrifying power and unique characteristics.
The Kunpeng controls the transformation of Yin and Yang; the True Dragon governs change, and when evolution reaches its extreme, it becomes invulnerable to all laws; the Phoenix possesses the greatest vitality and can be reborn from the ashes.
Thunder Emperor, wielding thunder; Heavenly Horned Ant, the ultimate in power; Qilin, possessing the strongest aura; Gu, wielding the power of time and space;
The Nine Nether Hound represents the ultimate death and destruction; the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass is the sharpest; the God-Slaying Stone is specifically designed to strike the divine consciousness.
If the Ten Evils were transformed into the Ten Great Methods of this world, they would represent ten different realms.
Having made up his mind, Yunhua immediately closed his eyes and began to ponder the correspondence between the Ten Fiends' Path and this world. He even considered not revealing his ultimate fire path, but instead studying the phoenix's life force.
The ten most powerful aspects of the ten evils are transformed into ten major techniques. Based on the principles of this world, entirely new Ten Evil Treasure Techniques are derived.
As time passed, Yunhua sat quietly on the platform set up by the Supreme Being, his whole being immersed in a strange state, almost "enlightenment".
The space-time around him was distorted, a situation where time had been accelerated by 100,000 times.
Yunhua closed her eyes and quietly pondered.
One method after another flashed through his mind, all of which were numerous methods from the entire cultivator civilization and the Sith civilization that he had seen in the First Hall.
At the same time, he was constantly comprehending the Ten Fierce Treasures, extracting their essence and core, and filling them with the Great Dao Laws of this primordial chaotic universe, hoping to reach a new level.
The Ten Fierce Treasures Technique is a power that Yunhua is most familiar with. From the beginning of his cultivation, Yunhua has formed an inextricable bond with the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique.
During his travels through various worlds, he also deconstructed the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques using the Dao and systems of other worlds, presenting the treasure techniques in an alternative form. Now, he is simply completing it again.
In just ten thousand years, Yunhua has already used the Great Dao Laws of this primordial chaotic world to fill in a portion of the Ten Fierce Treasures.
However, these are merely rough drafts, containing many contradictions and errors, and require further development.
Therefore, Yunhua further studied the ancient texts he had previously read, seeking out the great laws that he could utilize.
"So that's how it is. The Way of Power exists in this world in this way."
"Time can be manipulated like this?"
"Hmm, this way of thunder is quite ingenious, and its core seems to be able to be completely integrated into the new Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique."
Yunhua carefully analyzed each method he knew and extracted its core essence from them.
These methods, at the very least, are at the level of the Lord of the Holy City, and there are many methods at the level of the Sovereign. Yunhua even referenced and learned from the Path of the Supreme.
Previously, I had only skimmed through it once; now, I am truly beginning to analyze and study it, extracting its essence and integrating it into my new Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques.
During this process, Yunhua's own ultimate fire technique was also gradually being perfected and becoming stronger.
The methods he consulted were all very profound. If it weren't for the stone platform left by the Supreme Being, which kept him in a state of enlightenment almost every moment, it would probably have taken him millions of years to comprehend each method.
But now, with the help of the stone platform, he only needs a little over a hundred years to comprehend those holy city lord-level techniques; and those sovereign-level techniques will only take about a thousand years.
As I gradually come to understand, the essence of those methods is gradually absorbed into my understanding.
The new Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques are gradually taking shape and being perfected.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred million years have passed.
At this moment, Yunhua finally opened her eyes, a hint of joy in them.
"In hundreds of millions of years, this is the first time I've secluded myself for so long in this world; but now I've finally completed it, the brand new Ten Fierce Treasures Techniques, the Ten Fierce Treasures Techniques newly constructed based on the Dao of this world!" Yun Hua waved his hand, and ten jade slips floated in front of him.
"Senior!!" Yunhua called out to the spirit of the cave.
Suddenly, a doorway appeared in the wall of the main hall, and then an old man in blue robes and white hair walked over. He looked at the ten jade slips in front of Yun Hua and exclaimed, "This hasn't even reached half a Chaos Era, yet you created the Ten Great Methods so quickly?"
"From the start of my cultivation to the time I emerged from the fourth level of the Ultimate Fire Path, it hasn't been more than ten thousand years," Yun Hua said leisurely.
In the process of creating the ultimate fire path, the Great Dao of his previous life helped him a great deal, so he progressed very quickly in the beginning; however, when he entered the fourth level, the things from his previous life were no longer useful.
However, by then, he had already seen the ultimate fire path pioneered by his predecessors, so he broke through to the fourth level in one go.
Now, the reconstruction of the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique was actually quite fast in the beginning because of the foundation from the previous life. It was only at the final hurdle that it got stuck, which is why it took so much time.
"Don't try to fool me!" The spirit of the cave was still somewhat skeptical.
As they spoke, the spirit of the cave immediately took the ten jade slips from Yunhua and began to peruse them one by one.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became: "It's really true? You've actually reached such a level on so many paths? In just over a hundred million years, you've comprehended so many methods?"
After a long while, the spirit of the cave sighed, "Not bad, you did indeed meet the standard in a very short time. As per the master's instructions, this item should be given to you now."
With that, he waved his hand—"Whoosh!"
A ripple appeared in the hall, followed by the appearance of a small space where two things floated silently.
One of them was a bead the size of an egg, constantly emitting a mysterious fluctuation. This fluctuation was even visible to the naked eye, and when Yunhua was swept by this fluctuation, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
The other object was also a sphere, covered with countless dense patterns that made one feel somewhat dizzy.
The spirit of the cave first took the bead that had been emitting mysterious fluctuations and handed it to Yunhua: "This is the Stonefire Bead, which is also recognized by several supreme beings as the number one treasure that helps cultivation."
As it spoke, the spirit of the cave began to recount the origin of this object.
This is something that was naturally born from the body of a special kind of Stonefire life form of the Sith, a Stonefire life form comparable to the Supreme Being; after it died, it left behind this thing.
"This is for you, but only for your use. If you die one day, this Stonefire Pearl will fly back to the cave and wait for the next destined person!" the spirit of the cave said in conclusion.
Yun Hua nodded slightly. He casually infiltrated his divine sense into the Stone Fire Pearl, and soon felt that the Stone Fire Pearl had become a part of his body.
"Receive!" With a thought, Yun Hua quickly absorbed the Fire Stone into his body.
Chapter 1099 The Heart of Eternal Mark
Instantly, a faint, warm aura permeated his entire body, and even his soul and spirit felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
He even casually pondered some realms of the Great Dao that he had never explored before, and suddenly a large amount of spiritual light gushed out like a spring, leading to his enlightenment.
"The master left these things for that final wish." The spirit of the cave looked at Yunhua, then pointed a finger, causing another sphere to fly to Yunhua's side.
"This is the Heart of Eternity, with a total of ninety-nine layers of intricate patterns. Once you have deciphered them all, it means that your understanding of the Ninefold Chaos Restriction is no less than that of its master. Only then will you be qualified to create the supreme tenth layer."
