A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Page 507

With these conditions, plus the thousand clones he had just created, his cultivation speed increased a thousandfold.

It's normal to be able to fully comprehend the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Time in such a short time.

Yunhua was in a good mood and entered the Daoist temple of the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor.

After receiving an invitation from the celestial being who received him, he prepared to go to the highest peak where the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor resided. During this journey, he successively comprehended many other Great Daos, including the Great Dao of Raging Thunder, the Great Dao of Blood Sea, and the Great Dao of Nebula.

"The reason you comprehended the Great Dao so quickly is not only because of the clone, but also because of your solid foundation." After thinking for a moment, Yunhua understood many things.

According to what the Northern World God left behind, the operation of the Heavenly Dao is not the same in different chaotic worlds. Therefore, many cultivators will experience some maladjustment after they have comprehended the operation of the Heavenly Dao in a certain chaotic world and enter other worlds.

However, for countless true powerhouses, as long as their foundation is solid, they can comprehend a great deal of Dao in a very short time, no matter which chaotic world they enter.

The so-called "solid foundation" in this world refers to the corresponding "power of the Dao," such as the power of the sword, the power of the Nine Netherworlds, the power of fire, and so on.

Nuwa, the strongest being in the Three Realms back then, also comprehended so many Daos because of this.

There are a total of 108,000 paths in the Three Realms, and Nuwa has mastered 84,000 of them.

Yun Hua proceeded smoothly through the Daoist temple of the Crimson Bright Ancestor, and before he even entered the core peak, the Crimson Bright Ancestor himself led his disciples out to greet him.

After cultivating to the True God Realm, Yunhua was now on equal footing with Dao Ancestor Chiming. Naturally, Dao Ancestor Chiming had to personally rise to greet Yunhua upon his arrival, to avoid being impolite.

Yun Hua glanced around and spotted some familiar faces among the disciples of Dao Ancestor Chi Ming, such as Xia Mangxun, and Ji Ning, who was also mixed in with Dao Ancestor Chi Ming's disciples.

Ji Ning has now passed the Heavenly God Tribulation and officially become a Heavenly God; he has also officially become a Pure Yang True Immortal in the Qi Refining path, which can be described as having an astonishing foundation.

"Huh!? The supernatural power I taught him seems to have changed? The body he's in front of me isn't his original body anymore?" Yun Hua's heart stirred, and he sensed something.

The Ji Ning before him had likely cultivated some kind of clone technique, similar to the technique in his "Thousand Body Sacred Scripture".

The supernatural power that Yunhua taught him last time was not something that humans could cultivate; it required Yunhua's help to cultivate. Therefore, Yunhua clearly felt that his supernatural power had undergone some changes, and it was a change similar to the transformation after creating a clone.

"Could it be the stone tablet from the Nine Chaos Kingdoms in the original story?" Yunhua had a vague idea in her mind.

In the original story, this item was always in the hands of the Shao Yan clan of the Great Xia Dynasty. Ji Ning obtained this treasure after killing Shao Yan Chou of the Shao Yan clan, and obtained seven techniques from it, one of which was the technique of creating clones.

Although Yunhua knew about this opportunity, he did not take action at the time because he was unable to completely kill Shao Yanchou, who had cultivated the clone technique.

Because Shao Yanchou had eighteen clones hidden in different places, even if one or two clones were killed, it would not be possible to completely kill him without a special method to lock onto them.

But now, it seems that this treasure has fallen into Ji Ning's hands.

"It must have been during my absence that a Dao Ancestor in the Three Realms helped him pinpoint Shao Yan Chou..." Yun Hua thought to himself. Only a Dao Ancestor who had comprehended the Heavenly Dao could have such an ability.

Chapter 1035 Exchange

"Disciple greets Master!" Ji Ning was the first to step forward and bow.

Yunhua nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, you've made rapid progress recently."

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Jiehuo, on comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Fire! Another great power has emerged in the Three Realms!" Dao Ancestor Chiming offered his congratulations as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Just lucky!" Yunhua smiled slightly.

Dao Ancestor Chiming said, "Fellow Daoist Jiehuo is too modest. You have comprehended the Heavenly Dao in just over four hundred years. Since the birth of the Three Realms, you can be called the first person to do so. Such a speed of cultivation is simply unbelievable."

"But fellow Daoist, why don't you break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm?" Dao Ancestor Chiming asked, somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, since he has already broken through to the Pure Yang True Immortal Realm and comprehended the Fire Path, the next breakthrough should be a natural progression.

Perhaps breaking through to the level of Ancestral God is difficult, but breaking through to the level of Ancestral Immortal (Dao Ancestor) is much easier. Why didn't he break through?

"There are still some things to finish. I'll break through to the next level once I've completed them!" Yunhua said. "But while I was away, did anything major happen in the Three Realms?"

“Let’s talk as we go!” Dao Ancestor Chi Ming gestured and led Yun Hua toward the palace not far away.

As they walked over, Dao Ancestor Chiming gave Yunhua a general overview of the current situation in the Three Realms.

The Three Realms as they are now are almost identical to those in the original story. The biggest difference, however, is that the Great Xia world has fallen.

In the original story, the battle against the Great Xia Dynasty was turned around thanks to the seven celestial gods of the Star-Picking Palace. However, since these seven celestial gods are now always by Yun Hua's side, there is naturally no way for them to turn the tide.

So naturally, the Great Xia world fell and was occupied by the Wujian Sect.

"I see, so many things happened..." Yunhua nodded.

“After all, the Great Xia is where I was born. I will take back that world!” Yun Hua said without thinking. “I was not there for that battle. Now that I’m back, I will naturally rewrite the outcome of that battle.”

"Fellow Daoist, you mustn't!!" Dao Ancestor Chiming was shocked and immediately intervened to stop Yunhua.

“If you were still the Heavenly God you were back then, it would be a good thing if you could take back the Great Xia World; but now that you have advanced to the True God level, if you take action now, it may trigger a full-scale counterattack from the Wujian Sect, and even bring forward the war between True Gods and Dao Ancestors,” explained Dao Ancestor Chiming.

“We are not yet ready for a full-scale decisive battle. If we act rashly, there may be consequences. If a full-scale war breaks out prematurely, the future outcome will be unpredictable.” Dao Ancestor Chiming was very worried.

"Don't worry, I'll act in my own name. As for the final battle against the Dao Ancestor? You don't need to lift a finger. If any of the Wujian Sect members aren't afraid of death, we'll kill them one by one!" Yun Hua said leisurely.

Yun Hua's words were very domineering. Not only Chi Ming Dao Zu, but also Ji Ning and Chi Ming Dao Zu's disciples who were accompanying him were all stunned by Yun Hua's words.

"Fellow Daoist, your strength..." Dao Ancestor Chiming looked Yun Hua up and down, but still couldn't discern anything.

"Of course I won't attack right now. I'll wait until I advance to the Ancestral Immortal level before making my move," Yunhua explained finally.

In the end, Dao Ancestor Chiming shook his head helplessly. He understood that Yunhua was determined to take action, so he stopped trying to persuade her and decided to consult with the highest-ranking members of Nuwa's camp, such as the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, Bodhi, and Suiren.

Yunhua's exchange with Dao Ancestor Chiming ended quickly, after which he left Dao Ancestor Chiming's dojo with Ji Ning.

"This one that appears before me is a clone, isn't it? It seems you've had quite a few good fortunes lately!" Yunhua said to Ji Ning with a smile.

Ji Ning said, "Master, you are wise. I unintentionally obtained seven techniques, one of which is called 'Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons,' which can create eighteen clones. This is the supernatural power I am using now."

As he spoke, Ji Ning presented all seven methods he had obtained from the stone tablet of the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom.

These seven methods are: the secret method of clones - Tao Wu's Eighteen Gods and Demons, the secret method of cultivating insects and beasts - Nine Explanations of Insects and Beasts, the method of cultivating divine weapons - Sinful Divine Weapons, the secret method of cultivating ghosts and gods - Ghost and God Scroll, the method of cultivating talismans - Lang Talisman, the formation used in conjunction with Tao Wu's Eighteen Gods and Demons - Qiankun Reversal One Heart Formation, and the final protective divine power - Indestructible Body.

“Master, with your strength, if you were to cooperate with the eighteen gods and demons of Tao Wu to cultivate eighteen divine and demonic bodies that are no weaker than your own, your chances of winning would greatly increase if you were to fight against the True God Dao Ancestor of the Wujian Sect,” Ji Ning said.

He was naturally on Nuwa's side, especially after hearing Yunhua say that she wanted to take back the Great Xia. Of course, he hoped that Yunhua's combat strength would be as high as possible.

Moreover, the recapture of Daxia was something Ji Ning longed for, after all, he grew up in Daxia, which was his hometown.

"Tao Wu's Eighteen Gods and Demons can create eighteen divine and demonic bodies that are no weaker than the original body. This is indeed a good secret technique. However, compared to the 'Thousand Bodies Holy Scripture' in the Three Realms, which can create a thousand clones that are no weaker than the original body, this secret technique is not worth mentioning." Yun Hua shook his head.

As he spoke, he pointed directly at Ji Ning and sent the original text of the "Thousand Body Holy Scripture" into Ji Ning's mind.

"The Thousand-Body Holy Scripture!?" Ji Ning was shocked. He originally thought that his Tao Wu Eighteen Gods and Demons was already a top-tier secret technique in the Three Realms, but now he found out that there was such a terrifying secret technique? It could create a thousand clones?

"But these cultivation conditions? The Heart of the World?" Ji Ning was taken aback. These cultivation conditions were far too harsh. Even if the Three Realms were drained dry, there wouldn't be enough resources to cultivate.

"No wonder I've never heard of this secret technique before; it's so difficult," Ji Ning murmured.

"The original secret method was very difficult, but over the past few hundred years, I have improved it. Combined with my self-created Divine Demon Body Refining Method, mastering the Thousand Body Sacred Scripture is no longer a problem. At least I have already mastered it."

Yunhua smiled and pointed a finger again, passing on his self-created "Nirvana Divine Body" and the improved "Thousand Body Holy Scripture" to Ji Ning.

Yunhua has always been fair in his dealings. If Ji Ning had concealed the truth about the Eighteen Gods and Demons of Tao Wu from him from the beginning, then he naturally would not have passed on the secret technique that he had painstakingly improved to him.

"The Nirvana Divine Body and the improved Thousand Body Holy Scripture!?" The more Ji Ning comprehended it, the more shocked he became. His master had actually created so many terrifying techniques in the past few hundred years?

This article, "Nirvana Divine Body," broadened Ji Ning's horizons, and he vaguely sensed that this method, whether in terms of specific cultivation or in its conception, far surpassed "Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram."

As for the improved "Thousand Body Holy Scripture" and "Nirvana Divine Body", they are a perfect match, taking a different approach and perfectly avoiding the difficulty of the Heart of the World.

"As expected, Master is the number one genius in the Three Realms!" Ji Ning was secretly shocked after seeing what Yun Hua had created.

During Yunhua's absence, as his strength increased, his reputation as a genius spread throughout the Three Realms. Many True Immortals and Heavenly Gods knew his name, Ji Ning, and his titles, Northern Darkness Sword Immortal and Northern Darkness Heavenly God, resounded throughout the Three Realms.

Many people even secretly regard him as the number one genius in the Three Realms today.

However, this time, Yunhua's return dealt Ji Ning a heavy blow.

"Unfortunately, since you've cultivated the Eighteen Divine Demons of Tao Wu, you probably can't cultivate my improved 'Thousand Body Sacred Scripture.' However, you can refer to my 'Nirvana Divine Body.' If you cultivate according to my 'Nirvana Divine Body' method, breaking through to True God will be much easier for you," Yunhua continued from the side.

Chapter 1036 Refining the Golden Elixir

"I'll also give you a method, which will help you advance further." With a wave of his hand, Yunhua sent another stream of light into Ji Ning's heart.

This is yet another entirely new method—the One True Self.

This method is a way to merge all the clones of the same origin into one.

Since a person can create countless clones, there must be a connection between these clones. By studying this connection, a certain powerful being created the secret method of "The One True Self".

Once this secret technique is mastered, all the clones will merge into one, and what is formed after merging all the clones is the original body, the only original body, the original body that can never be separated.

This might seem like it instantly costs a cultivator dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of lives, but this secret technique is actually an unimaginable amplification technique. Because practicing in this way allows all of a cultivator's clones to be superimposed.

Even with Ji Ning's eighteen clones stacked together, he was still comparable to an Ancestral God at the True God stage, and at the Ancestral God stage, he was almost comparable to a World God.

And if Yunhua had a thousand clones stacked together, the power would be even more terrifying.

“Our Three Realms’ cultivation methods are very poor, and we can only cultivate the worst third-grade Golden Core. However, with this ‘Single True Self’ secret method, after your eighteen clones merge, you should be able to advance your Golden Core from the third grade to the second grade, barely reaching the threshold of a True God!” Yunhua continued.

"Master, you also know about the third-grade Golden Core?" Ji Ning was surprised again. He only learned about this after obtaining the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom stone tablet, and only then did he realize that his Golden Core was so poor.

"The chaos is vast and boundless; it's not just our Three Realms that constitute a chaotic world. It's normal for other chaotic worlds to contain many things different from our Three Realms," Yunhua said leisurely.

"Actually, have you ever thought that the path of cultivating the body of gods and demons to its extreme can reach the realm of 'Pangu God,' which is what other chaotic worlds call 'world gods'? Then, in the path of cultivating qi, is there also a level similar to that of a world god?"

"The process of cultivating Qi begins with the Golden Core of a Celestial Immortal, progresses to the Pure Yang Golden Core of a Pure Yang True Immortal, and then to the Great Luo Golden Core of a Great Luo Ancestral Immortal. It is essentially a process of a world constantly growing. If a realm comparable to a world god exists in the future, then I think it should be about cultivating a space within the body that is comparable to a chaotic world."

"However, over the past few hundred years, I have indeed confirmed that there is a realm in Qi Refining that is comparable to the God Pangu—the Chaos Immortal," Yunhua concluded.

“Master, actually, my opportunity also came from other worlds beyond the Chaos.” Ji Ning pondered for a moment, then said.

"I also unintentionally obtained a method to enhance the Golden Core, called the Ice and Fire Tempering Golden Core Technique, which can temper a third-grade Golden Core into a second-grade Golden Core."

"With the addition of a second-grade Golden Core and the unique essence you taught me, Master, it might be possible to cultivate a first-grade Golden Core."

At this point, Ji Ning no longer concealed what he had obtained and directly told Yun Hua the method he had extracted from the memories of countless prisoners within the stone tablet of the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom.

"I need Ice Heart Essence and Nine Flames Elixir..." Yun Hua glanced at Ji Ning and casually waved his hand, instantly providing Ji Ning with all the materials he needed to transform into a Golden Core.

When he obtained the Ice Heart Essence and Nine Flames Elixir from the Moonlit Pool World, he planned to find the stone tablet of the Nine Directions Chaos Kingdom after he came out, obtain the method to improve his Golden Core from there, and then refine it himself.

However, now that I have obtained the method from Ji Ning, it is the same.

“Nine Flames Elixir exists in the Three Realms, but as far as I know, there is only one place where Ice Heart Marrow exists, which is the Moonlit Pool World. Could it be that Master has spent the past four hundred years in the Moonlit Pool?” Ji Ning looked at the treasure that Yun Hua had given him and couldn’t help but wonder.

Having obtained the method of "Ice and Fire Tempering Golden Elixir Technique" early on, Ji Ning naturally inquired about the whereabouts of the Nine Flames Elixir and the Ice Heart Marrow in the Three Realms. Therefore, he knew very well that the Ice Heart Marrow was in the Moonlit Pool World.

"Alright, now that everything is ready, you can focus on improving your Golden Core. Your master is also going into seclusion to cultivate." Yun Hua said one last thing before disappearing from Ji Ning's sight. He was about to set up a grand formation to refine the Golden Core of each of his clones, bringing them to the level of a second-grade Golden Core.

Yunhua returned to her Star-Picking Mansion and took out the Ice Heart Essence and Nine Flame Elixir that she had obtained from the Moonlit Pool World.

He quickly set up the array diagram needed for the Ice and Fire Refining Golden Core Technique. After placing the Ice Heart Essence and Nine Flames Elixir, the array diagram rotated, and a thousand clones simultaneously began refining the golden core.

The power of ice and fire penetrated through the formation and entered Yunhua's body, eventually converging at the Pure Yang Golden Core within him.

In an instant, yin and yang intertwined, water and fire complemented each other, and mysterious power permeated every corner of his golden core, causing it to slowly change.

"What a comfortable feeling." Yunhua felt that his Golden Core space was constantly expanding as it was being tempered, and at the same time, the pure Yang magic power within the Golden Core was becoming more and more refined and vast.

For the next period of time, Yunhua stayed in the Zhaixing Mansion, refining his Golden Core little by little. After a full month, his Golden Core reached its peak and he officially advanced to the second-grade Golden Core.

"Hmm, the second-grade Golden Core is even stronger for nurturing the soul!" Yun Hua carefully sensed his Golden Core and couldn't help but feel a little happy. His Golden Core was now many times stronger than before. Based on his Qi Refining ability alone, Yun Hua could now easily defeat a hundred of his previous selves.

"However, it is only a second-grade Golden Core after all. Its nurturing effect on the soul is not as good as my divine body. It should reach the current limit in about half a month. Then I will use the unique true body to fuse with a thousand clones."

Yunhua closed her eyes and quietly felt the profound mystery of the second-grade golden core within her body.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. At this moment, in the Zhaixing Mansion, a thousand Yunhua sat quietly in the main hall.

“We’ve reached our limit. We can now unleash the ultimate technique.” With a thought, Yun Hua immediately caused two of his thousand clones to emit a hazy white light.

A white halo emanated from his divine body, soul, golden core, and even true spirit, and within the white light, there was a mysterious and unparalleled divine pattern.

These are divine runes created by the great master who pioneered this method. They are profound and mysterious, and even contain a kind of Dao similar to cause and effect.

Yunhua was also practicing this technique while quietly comprehending the profound principles contained within the divine runes.

"Om!"

As the unique method was used, the two cloud-like figures emitting a hazy white light began to approach each other. Finally, one of them flew into the other's body, and the light became dazzling, illuminating the entire hall.

At the same time, Yunhua also felt a comprehensive integration and transformation within herself.

He felt warm and comfortable all over, as if he had returned to the beginning of his life, to the feeling of being nurtured by the world.

Inside the main hall, a brilliant white light enveloped Yunhua's figure, and his golden core, divine soul, divine body, true spirit, and even mental power were perfectly integrated in the process.

Because they originally came from the same source, their golden core, divine soul, divine body, true spirit, and even mental power were exactly the same, so there was no rejection whatsoever, and they perfectly merged and became one.

This is also the most important point of this method: if there is even the slightest difference, it cannot be integrated.
