Chapter 172 – Time and Space Mastery


The information transmitted by Patriarch Bodhi’s finger was enormous. Even with Xu Zong’s current realm of divine soul, it took him several hours to barely sort out the outline. Half of it was about the forms and cultivation systems of the Three Realms, while the other half consisted of various supernatural powers and Dharma Doors passed down by Patriarch Bodhi.

Xu Zong only skimmed through those supernatural powers and Dharma Doors, and didn’t even read them once. Otherwise, it would probably take at least a dozen hours to receive and sort out each supernatural power and Dharma Door.

After a rough scan, Xu Zong found that these supernatural powers and Dharma Doors could be mainly divided into three categories.

The first category was Qi Refining Dharma Door. The one passed down by Patriarch Bodhi was a book called “Inner Contemplation of the Boundless Heaven and Earth,” created by one of the Five Emperors, Xia Yu.

The second category was Body Refining Dharma Door. In this aspect, the complete volume of the Dharma Door, “Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram,” which extended to the True Immortal realm, was passed down to him.

The third category was supernatural powers, of which there were only two. One was called “Time and Space Reincarnation,” and the other was called “Time and Space True Realm.” These should be the most proud and exceptional skills of Patriarch Bodhi.

Xu Zong from Battle Through the Heavens: “Have you entered the Xieyue Great World?”

Xu Zong from Battle Through the Heavens: “Since you have entered, do me a favor and ask Patriarch Bodhi to perfect my cultivation method! Also, learn alchemy while you’re at it!”

Xu Zong from Swallowed Star: “Don’t forget about the Heart Power Flow Dharma Door!”

Xu Zong from The Nine Cauldrons: “I really want to know, at what level of cultivation in the Manghuang Era can I defeat the Heavenly Court here?”

Xu Zong from Martial World General: “Is Xu Zong from the Manghuang Era finally going to take off?”

Xu Zong from The Nine Cauldrons: “If you want, can’t you just directly ascend to the True Immortal realm?”

Xu Zong from Martial World General: “No, I want to stay in the mortal world for a while. Who knows what the situation is up there!”

All the Xu Zongs in the group were speaking, and for a while, the chat group was in chaos.

Xu Zong, who was in the Daoist temple in the Manghuang Era, only glanced at the conversation in the group and focused his attention on the several supernatural powers and Dharma Doors in front of him.

“Have you sorted it out?”

Patriarch Bodhi sat on the cushion and smiled slightly when he saw Xu Zong regain his consciousness.

“Do you have any doubts?”

“Teacher, I have many.”

Xu Zong nodded honestly and then said with a strange expression.

“Teacher, why does this Inner Contemplation of the Boundless Heaven and Earth only reach the Returning Void Earth Immortal realm?”

That’s right.

This Inner Contemplation of the Boundless Heaven and Earth created by Xia Yu, could only be cultivated up to the Returning Void Earth Immortal realm! It couldn’t even reach the Heavenly Immortal realm.

This was a Dharma Door created by one of the Five Emperors of the Human race, and Patriarch Bodhi was also a True Immortal-level powerhouse. How could he give such a low-level Dharma Door?

“I knew you would ask this.”

Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly and then sighed.

“This Inner Contemplation of the Boundless Heaven and Earth is a cultivation system created by Xia Yu, who was reincarnated into the Nine Cauldrons World where you are. He created this system that primarily cultivates one’s own inner heaven and earth. After he shattered the void and returned to the Great Yu World, he perfected this Inner Contemplation of the Boundless Heaven and Earth. He originally wanted to create a cultivation method that could reach the Ancestral Immortal realm, but unfortunately, he got stuck at the Heavenly Immortal realm and couldn’t create a Dharma Door for the Ancestral Immortal realm!”

“In the Three Realms, there are many cultivation systems in the mortal world, but when it comes to the Heavenly Immortal realm, they all follow the same path. To open up a Golden Elixir within the body, those who cultivate the Inner Contemplation of the Boundless Heaven and Earth need a large amount of Heaven and Earth Qi. Even if they drain the Heaven and Earth Qi of a Great World, it may not be enough. Xia Yu had no choice but to give up this Inner Heaven and Earth Dharma Door.”

“You can cultivate this Inner Heaven and Earth Dharma Door first and cultivate it to the Earth Immortal realm. In this way, your inner heaven and earth will become more vast and perfect as your cultivation and understanding of the Dao deepen.”

“However, once you reach the Earth Immortal realm, there won’t be any follow-up Dharma Doors. You can only switch to other Dharma Doors and give up strengthening your inner heaven and earth. At that time, I will have a Qi Refining Dharma Door at the Ancestral Immortal level for you.”

After hearing these words, Xu Zong’s heart trembled.

He had already read the entire Manghuang Era, so he had a different understanding of Patriarch Bodhi’s words.

In this chaotic world of the Three Realms, because Nüwa broke through as a world deity in body refining, the achievements in body refining were extremely high. The Dharma Doors created by later generations borrowed from Nüwa’s experience, so the Dharma Doors for refining gods and demons were more advanced.

But the Dharma Doors for Qi Refining were very low-level.

In the Heavenly Immortal realm, Qi Refining Dharma Doors required the opening of a Golden Elixir within the body. In the vast endless territory, even the Golden Elixirs had different levels. The Qi Refining Dharma Doors in the Three Realms were very low-level, and the Golden Elixirs they opened were only third-grade Golden Elixirs. Therefore, their strength was extremely weak, and they were far inferior to Heavenly Gods of the same level. They could only match Heavenly Gods when they reached the True Immortal realm, and they could only match True Gods when they reached the Ancestral Immortal realm.

But in the vast endless territory, third-grade Golden Elixirs were the weakest and the kind that no one wanted to cultivate. Generally, everyone had second-grade Golden Elixirs. The True Immortals cultivated by second-grade Golden Elixirs were equivalent to the threshold of Heavenly Gods and were much stronger than third-grade Golden Elixir True Immortals.

But above the second-grade Golden Elixir, there were very few first-grade Golden Elixirs. It was extremely difficult to open them, and they required the help of a Chaos Immortal to condense them with the power of an extremely vast world. First-grade Golden Elixir True Immortals were even stronger than ordinary Heavenly Gods!

According to Patriarch Bodhi’s description, cultivating a Golden Elixir with the Inner Contemplation of the Boundless Heaven and Earth required an incredibly vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Even a Great World was not enough. It seemed like a cultivation method for a first-grade Golden Elixir?In these three realms, there were no Chaotic Immortals, nor was there such a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. The conditions were not met, so Xia Yu’s Dharma Door could not be established.

“Xia Yu is indeed one of the five emperors of the human race. He managed to create such a Dharma Door even after reincarnation. The people of the three realms are indeed extraordinary!”

Xu Zong couldn’t help but admire in his heart.

If only the conditions were sufficient, Xia Yu would definitely be able to fully create this Inner Observation of Heaven and Earth. In fact, the part that the Bodhi Ancestor passed on to Xu Zong contained a lot of Xia Yu’s insights on the creation of the first-class Golden Elixir. According to Xia Yu’s speculation, as long as the Golden Elixir was successfully condensed, there would be no obstacles in the subsequent cultivation. It could be said that the path was clear, and the creation of the Golden Elixir was the biggest hurdle.

Unfortunately, the three realms simply could not support the cultivation method of the first-class Golden Elixir!

A thought suddenly struck Xu Zong. He thought of the World Stele in the hands of Shao Yan Chou! If he could get that thing and use the Chaotic Spiritual Liquid inside to cultivate the first-class Golden Elixir, would it work?

“The Qi refining and body refining Dharma Doors are not precious in the three realms. Many Dao Ancestors have them. However, the divine powers must not be revealed easily, especially my two space-time divine powers!”

The Bodhi Ancestor stood up solemnly and warned Xu Zong seriously.

“Among my two divine powers, the Space-Time Reincarnation is a defensive divine power. It has made contributions in attack, defense, and sealing. It ranks in the top hundred in the three realms. However, the Space-Time True Realm divine power is my life’s work. It is the number one life-saving divine power in the three realms. You must study it carefully and not slack off!”

“I understand!”

Xu Zong nodded repeatedly, his heart chilled.

Everyone knew the importance of saving one’s life. As long as one was alive, there was still a chance. If one died, everything would be gone. This Space-Time True Realm divine power was called the number one in the three realms by the Bodhi Ancestor. It must be a very powerful divine power.

Those who have read the Desolate Era knew that the Bodhi Ancestor’s life-saving ability was indeed the number one in the three realms!

The Wind Demon Ancestor from the Door of the Void was another story.

“Do you have any questions?”

“Master, I want to learn some alchemy Dharma Doors.”

Xu Zong said respectfully, but he was a little nervous in his heart.

“Alchemy Dharma Door?”

As expected, the Bodhi Ancestor frowned upon hearing this.

“You want to learn alchemy?”

“Yes.”

Xu Zong said, “I have nothing valuable on me. When I travel in the Immortal Realm, I can’t even afford a weapon. I need to think of some ways to earn some wealth.”

“Hehe, I did neglect that.”

Upon hearing this, the Bodhi Ancestor suddenly realized and laughed.

“I forgot that you came from the closed world of The Nine Cauldrons, not from the three realms. You probably don’t even have any primordial fluid, let alone treasures. Well, in that case, I’ll give you some primordial fluid first, and put some small things that I don’t need inside.”

“As for the alchemy Dharma Door, since you asked for it, I will pass it on to you. But remember, your talent in the path of space-time is extremely high. Alchemy can only be a hobby, and cultivation is the foundation.”

The Bodhi Ancestor nodded and threw a bracelet inlaid with gems to Xu Zong.

“I will remember.”

Xu Zong caught the bracelet and didn’t rush to look at it. He just said respectfully.

The Bodhi Ancestor nodded slightly, then pointed out another finger, and a stream of light flew into Xu Zong’s forehead.

This time, Xu Zong quickly recovered.

The Bodhi Ancestor only gave him two things, one called “The Record of Hundred Herbs”, written by one of the Three Emperors, Shen Nong, which explained all the medicines and poisons in the three realms. The other was called “The Nine Chapters of the Golden Elixir”, a Dharma Door for alchemy created by the Three Pure Ones when they reincarnated as Laozi. It was also top-notch in the three realms.

“Do you have any more questions?”

The Bodhi Ancestor asked for the third time.

“No.”

Xu Zong shook his head immediately.

“Good, in that case, find a vacant place on this Mount Sumeru to live and cultivate well. Remember, do not disturb your master without being summoned.”

The Bodhi Ancestor nodded and pointed to the door of the Taoist temple.

“I understand!”

Xu Zong stood up, bowed respectfully to the Bodhi Ancestor, and then turned and left the Taoist temple.

Outside the Taoist temple.

“Greetings, Martial Uncle!”

As soon as Xu Zong came out, he saw two Taoist boys at the door bowing respectfully to him.

It seemed that the Bodhi Ancestor had already told many people about him.

Although these two Taoist boys called him Martial Uncle and showed no disrespect in their attitudes, their auras were much stronger than Xu Zong’s. The gap between the two sides was simply immeasurable.

“What is your cultivation level?”

Xu Zong asked the two Taoist boys curiously.

“Martial Uncle, we are both at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

One of the Taoist boys smiled and said, “We were both formed from Innate Spiritual Treasures. Cultivation is extremely difficult. We were born at the beginning of the Chaos and have only reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm to this day. We can only serve as Taoist boys under the old ancestor. Martial Uncle, you must have a very high talent to be accepted as a disciple by the old ancestor. We two cannot compare with you.”

Goodness gracious, the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

Even the gatekeepers are so awesome!

Xu Zong couldn’t help but marvel in his heart. Under the envious gaze of the two Taoist boys, he walked down the long steps in front of him.

My Illusory Realm, in the three realms, is only at the beginning of all things. It’s really tough on Mount Sumeru!
