After returning to his small house, Xu Zong quickly immersed himself in cultivation.
He wasn’t in a hurry to learn the Second Divine Technique. His spiritual consciousness could only cover a few hundred miles at the moment, which didn’t meet the standard mentioned by Ji Dian. If he easily severed his soul, there would be a risk of soul collapse. So for now, he suppressed the Second Divine Technique.
However, he did share it in the chat group, which immediately sparked a lively discussion among the group members.
Ghost Slayer Xu Zong: “If the Second Divine and your wife have an affair, does that count as NTR?”
Demon Ninja Xu Zong: “I know plenty of people who like to have multiple partners with their clones.”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Narrow and broad four-panel image.jpg”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “You guys are still discussing this topic even though we have the ability to create clones?”
Ultraman Xu Zong: “Hululululu…”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “I need my spiritual consciousness to cover a thousand miles. In my case, it should be psychic power. But I can’t do it at the moment, so I should hurry up and learn the Hou Yi’s Archery!”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “I just defeated a third-rank puppet. It will probably take a few more years to clear the Divine Palace.”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “All I can say is, do it as soon as possible!”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “I also want to say that you can show off the Flameless Fury.”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Sure.”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “@Swallowed Star Xu Zong, how is your cultivation going?”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “I’m currently learning the Time Reversal. The laws of time and space here are different from yours, but secret techniques are just methods of using the laws. Trust me, with a little modification, I can adapt to the laws. This secret technique should be enough for me for a long time.”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Currently, Luo Feng has just entered the Battle of Reincarnation. It will take another four years for him to reach the peak final battle. I’ll take this opportunity to cultivate well and defeat Bolan!”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “It seems like your cultivation is going smoothly. I’m having some trouble here.”
Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “What’s wrong?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Can’t I ask Bodhi Patriarch for help with the cultivation method? I’ll go out and cultivate, but I found that my Crimson Flame Divine Art’s ninth step can’t burn through the Martial Ancestor experts…”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “Is the flame not powerful enough?”
Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “That’s right. The Martial Qi in the Martial World can nourish the physical body. So the higher the Martial Qi level, the stronger the body becomes. The body strength of a Martial Ancestor is already very high. The Crimson Flame Divine Art’s ninth step can barely burn through, but it’s reaching its limit.”
Martial World General Xu Zong: “I understand. I’ll cultivate the Path of Blazing Fire and create the Flameless Fury Divine Ability.”
Bao Lian Lamp Xu Zong: “You all have things to do, while I’m still bored cultivating. So envious.”
Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Haven’t the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals come to your place yet?”
Bao Lian Lamp Xu Zong: “Not yet, but now I have the confidence to confront the Heavenly Court.”
Ghost Slayer Xu Zong: “By the way, it’s been over a year since we had any newcomers in our group. Did our initial speculation come true?”
…
The chat group continued chatting and joking.
In the world of the Desolate Ancient Era, Xu Zong was still cultivating on Fangcun Mountain.
The Dharma Door he chose in the Divine Palace was the Dharma Door of the Flame Spear Technique, a spear technique that contained the complete essence of the Flame Path. As soon as he returned to his wooden house, he began practicing it.
The Flame Path was just a small path, and with his current spiritual consciousness and understanding of the Dao, it was very easy for him to comprehend it. With various talents, it only took him a few days to fully understand the true meaning of the Flame Path.
Because he was the only one who could visualize the Nuwa Diagram, it could be said without reservation that he was the Xu Zong in the group with the highest understanding!
After comprehending the true meaning of the Flame Path, Xu Zong began to cultivate the Flameless Fury.
But before cultivating the Flameless Fury, he had to make some preparations.
Xu Zong retrieved the Xuan Yin Twelve Swords from the depths of his mind and took out a sword-type treasure from his storage magic treasure. Then he began to practice the Xuan Yin Twelve Swords.
Because Wind & Cloud Xu Zong had already practiced the Xuan Yin Twelve Swords to an extremely profound level, he easily mastered the entire set of sword techniques.
“This Xuan Yin Twelve Swords…”
During the practice, Xu Zong suddenly showed a surprised expression.
He abandoned his awareness of the outside world and fully focused on practicing the Xuan Yin Twelve Swords. The entire set of sword techniques became more agile, sharp, and sinister at a visible speed.
This was obviously an enlightenment!
Xu Zong once again entered a state of enlightenment that was almost as natural as eating and drinking for him!
“Hmm?”
In the central Taoist temple on Fangcun Mountain, Patriarch Bodhi, who had been immersed in the dream realm, suddenly woke up and revealed a look of astonishment on his face.
“My disciple actually…!”
After nearly half a month, Xu Zong in front of the wooden house gradually came back to his senses and put down the sword in his hand.
With his eyes closed, the inner world in his Niwan Palace suddenly shrank and turned into an oval-shaped colored egg. The radiance of the inner world turned into sticky liquid.
Xu Zong suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with joy.
“I never expected that, using the Xuan Yin Twelve Swords as a stepping stone, I would actually comprehend the faintest trace of the Yin Heavenly Dao!”
In his mind, the inner world also improved by a bit due to the comprehension of the Dao. It only needed Xu Zong to comprehend a trace of the Yang Heavenly Dao to completely take shape!
However, the Dao in the Three Realms, especially the relative Dao, mutually repelled each other.For instance, once Xu Zong comprehended a trace of the Heavenly Dao of Yin, this trace would hinder him from understanding the Heavenly Dao of Yang. Similarly, understanding the Heavenly Dao of Life would strongly repel the comprehension of the Heavenly Dao of Destruction!
In the three realms, even though many Ancestral Immortals have mastered a Heavenly Dao, they have been unable to grasp another opposing Heavenly Dao. This is the key factor.
Not only is it difficult to get started, but cultivation is also extremely challenging. Therefore, many Dao Ancestors choose to reincarnate, erasing their memories to comprehend another opposing Heavenly Dao, refusing to return until they fully understand it.
However, at the very least, being able to initiate in two opposing Heavenly Daos is something that countless True Immortals, and even Dao Ancestors, cannot achieve. It’s enough to make the Dao Ancestors take notice, and it could even be said to be a sign of a Dao Ancestor.
“With my bottleneck-free talent, I believe I will soon comprehend a trace of the Heavenly Dao of Yang!”
Xu Zong was in high spirits. With his bottleneck-free talent, comprehending a trace of the Heavenly Dao of Yang was a sure thing.
“Since I’ve already comprehended a trace of the Heavenly Dao of Yin, there should be no danger in practicing the Flame Formless.”
With this thought, Xu Zong immediately sat down and began to practice the Red Fire Divine Art.
He originally wanted to cultivate the sword intent of the Twelve Dark Yin Swords on his own, but he accidentally comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Yin, which was far superior to the Twelve Dark Yin Swords.
Immersed in the practice of the Red Fire Divine Art, Xu Zong silently recited the mantra, and flames gradually ignited on his body. First, it was blue flames, which quickly turned into red flames, and finally successfully turned into green flames.
Only an hour had passed, and he had successfully stepped into the seventh step of the Red Fire Divine Art.
Another hour passed, and the flames on Xu Zong’s body became even more terrifying, successfully stepping into the eighth step.
Xu Zong covered his body with the Heavenly Dao of Yin, took a deep breath, combined with the No-Seeking Easy Formula, mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and made rapid progress towards the ninth step of the Red Fire Divine Art!
“What is my disciple doing?”
In the Daoist temple, Bodhi had been secretly paying attention to Xu Zong’s cultivation, isolating him from the surroundings to prevent others from disturbing his enlightenment. However, even with his insight, he was somewhat unclear about what Xu Zong was trying to do.
Next to the wooden house, a night passed, and the flames on Xu Zong’s body gradually dissipated.
He stood up from the ground and looked at his fist.
Suddenly, with a thought, his fist turned into flames, emitting a faint green light!
“I did it!”
Xu Zong breathed a sigh of relief.
The practice of Flame Formless was indeed perilous at every step, but fortunately, he had the experience of other Xu Zongs in the group and the protection of the Heavenly Dao of Yin, so he easily succeeded!
“However, compared to the Undying Body of the Lord of Life and Death, this Flame Formless is too weak. It’s not at the level of the Lord of Life and Death’s great divine power.”
Xu Zong thought to himself, this should only be considered an initial creation of the Undying Body-like divine power. It still needs continuous improvement to perfect it, and it may even need to reach the realm of the Lord of Life and Death to truly complete this great divine power.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded in his ears.
Xu Zong was slightly startled, and a thin old man in a Taoist robe with white hair and beard suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Greetings, Master!”
Xu Zong’s expression became serious, and he respectfully saluted.
“What was the divine power you just used?”
Bodhi Ancestor’s eyes were locked on Xu Zong, even he, an Innate True God born from chaos, couldn’t help but feel excited at this moment.
“Master, this is a divine power I created myself, called Flame Formless.”
Xu Zong respectfully replied.
“Good, good, good, a good Flame Formless!”
Bodhi Ancestor said the word ‘good’ four times, praising this divine power.
“This Flame Formless divine power of yours, it’s just created, right? I see that the flames you transformed into are not very powerful, and they can be extinguished at the level of the Ten Thousand Realms.”
Bodhi Ancestor asked in detail, obviously attaching great importance to this divine power.
“Master has sharp eyes.”
Xu Zong complimented, then explained.
“Indeed, this divine power is my initial creation. The practice is extremely dangerous, with life and death at every step. Only by protecting the body with the Dao of Yin can there be hope of success. In my conception, although this divine power is weak at the beginning, it can absorb and refine various flames to strengthen its own Flame Formless, so that it can eventually burn everything and evade all attacks. However, this is just my conception at the moment, and I don’t have much clue on how to achieve it.”
Xu Zong described the method of integrating the Burning Decision and Flame Formless to Bodhi Ancestor.
“This divine power of yours is truly wonderful!”
Bodhi Ancestor patiently listened to Xu Zong’s narration, nodded repeatedly, and praised.
“If this divine power can be perfected to the realm of True God, even the Dao Ancestors will want to cultivate it. It can be considered one of the top ten, no, top five great divine powers in the three realms!”
Bodhi Ancestor pondered for a while and looked at Xu Zong seriously.
“My disciple, if you trust your master, give this divine power to me. I will help you comprehend it. But if I succeed in comprehending it, I hope you can also let the Dao Ancestors of the three realms learn it.”
