Chapter 178 – In the midst of cultivation


“If the teacher can create the follow-up of this divine ability, then it can also be considered as the teacher’s divine ability. The disciple has no objections to whom the teacher wants to pass it on to.”

Xu Zong nodded naturally.

The character of Bodhi is naturally trustworthy. He bears the responsibility of preserving the seeds of the Three Realms. Even Empress Nuwa relies on him. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the last hope of one side of the Three Realms.

Bodhi nodded approvingly, feeling that this disciple truly understands the big picture and handles things properly.

“However, please do not reveal that I am the creator of this divine ability.”

Xu Zong paused and continued.

“A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. If it attracts evil people, even if the disciple has more lives, it won’t be enough.”

The main concern is his mental power!

Once that bastard knows that he created this Flameless Divine Ability, he will definitely come and enslave him with his mental power!

“Your concern is not unreasonable.”

Bodhi nodded knowingly. He was not worried about Xu Zong’s mental power, but about the Realm of the Interdimensional Gate. He was worried that the Interdimensional Gate might bully the weak and ignore their reputation, and come to kill his disciple.

“Alright, let’s just say that I accidentally created this divine ability. When you become famous in the Three Realms in the future, I will give you credit.”

“Thank you for your understanding, teacher.”

Xu Zong breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully bowed.

Then, he informed Bodhi of the complete mantra of the Flameless Divine Ability, and Bodhi carefully listened and quickly wrote down the Dharma Door of the Flameless Divine Ability.

Having handed over this divine ability to Bodhi, Xu Zong finally let go of his worries, waiting only to obtain the complete version of the new Flameless Divine Ability in the future.

Bodhi watched Xu Zong’s departing figure and felt greatly relieved.

In terms of comprehension, this disciple is not the most talented among all his disciples. His ninth disciple, Jun Wu, was able to comprehend the entire Ink Path overnight when he was still a child under Bodhi’s guidance!

Although the Ink Path is a minor path, it is extremely complex, which also leads to Jun Wu’s methods being exceptionally complex. No matter what situation he faces, he can find a way to deal with it or even restrain it. There are few people in the Three Realms who can compare to him. But precisely because his methods are too complex, it is difficult for him to specialize in multiple paths, so he has not yet become a Dao Ancestor.

But in terms of creativity, this junior disciple undoubtedly ranks first among all his disciples! Among his disciples, there has never been one who could create such a powerful divine ability at such a weak Realm.

And although his comprehension is not extraordinary, it is still top-notch. He can comprehend the true meaning of time and space in places where time and space are not apparent, and even comprehend a trace of the Heavenly Dao when he is weak. He is also a monstrous existence in the Three Realms.

“Moreover, he is cautious and will definitely become a great figure in the future!”

Bodhi nodded secretly.

Perhaps, he will have another Dao Ancestor disciple under his command!

Bodhi’s figure turned, silently leaving the range of this wooden house, and even directly leaving the Slanted Moon Great World.

This Flameless Divine Ability is extremely advanced. With his own efforts, he might be able to create it at the level of a Celestial God, but if he wants to create it at the level of a True God, he will definitely need the participation of many True God and Dao Ancestor powerhouses to comprehend it together.

“There are many Dao Ancestors in the Three Realms who are proficient in the way of fire. Let’s find Sui Ren, Fu Xi, and the Three Clear Friends first.”

Bodhi disappeared into the vortex of time and space, heading towards the Daoist realms where many Dao Ancestors exist.

On the other hand, Xu Zong continued to cultivate in Fangcun Mountain.

He was not in a hurry to improve his comprehension of the Time and Space Grand Dao, but instead focused on comprehending the Way of the Sun. With the blessings of various talents such as the Talent of No Bottleneck and the Talent of Memory Killing, seven months later, Xu Zong finally succeeded in comprehending a trace of the Way of the Sun. After another five days, the two superficial Ways gradually began to merge.

The oval-shaped colored egg in the Mud Pill Palace gradually turned gray, and a strong force of the world was released, constantly refining his physical body.

“The internal world has finally matured.”

Xu Zong was overjoyed.

Thanks to comprehending the two major opposing Ways, the internal world in his body began to grow and develop. Xu Zong had long understood that the key to the complete formation of the internal world was “man”. He believed that it wouldn’t be long before the internal world would be completely formed, reaching the realm of the strongest.

With the fusion of the two major Ways, Xu Zong returned to the Immortal Palace.

Under the gaze of many cultivators, Xu Zong defeated the fourth-order puppet with a single strike. The fifth-order puppet was also defeated easily, and after a fierce battle, the sixth-order puppet was eventually defeated.

In the end, Xu Zong stopped at the seventh-order puppet.

The cultivators on Fangcun Mountain were in an uproar, each feeling a strong sense of incredulity.

He only took a little over seven months to go from comprehending the third-order puppet to the sixth-order puppet?

Are you cheating?Especially those gods, demons, and monsters, each of them has some imbalance, but they can’t help but admire that the human race is truly the absolute protagonist of the Three Realms. This Martial Uncle is undoubtedly a monstrous genius!

Xu Zong was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. The power of the Heavenly Dao was indeed overwhelmingly superior to the Great Dao, not to mention that he had integrated two opposing Heavenly Daos. Unfortunately, he had only comprehended a little bit of it. Otherwise, he would never have stopped at the Seventh Stage Puppet!

After selecting some secret techniques in the Immortal Palace, Xu Zong returned to his wooden house and immersed himself in cultivation.

“The comprehension of the Heavenly Dao is really difficult. It seems that it would take tens of thousands of years to fully comprehend it.”

Xu Zong thought to himself. This speed was enough to make the Dao Ancestors jealous, but Xu Zong felt that it was far from enough. If Teng Qingshan and Ji Ning came from the same Earth, considering that they both crossed over from the modern world, the arrival of the Great Calamity of the Boundless Gate would probably leave only about a thousand years.

He had to rise rapidly within a thousand years. He couldn’t just comprehend the Heavenly Dao in such a dry manner.

Xu Zong immediately suspended his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and focused his energy on the Time-Space Grand Dao and various minor Daos.

He wanted to focus on the Time-Space Grand Dao and support it with various minor Daos. Improving his realm was the priority. The higher his realm, the easier it would be to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Minor Daos were not useless. In fact, there was a significant difference between the cultivation methods of the Desolate Era and those of other worlds. In the Desolate Era, cultivators could choose one or more major Daos as their main focus and integrate the comprehension of other minor Daos into their main Dao, making their own Dao even stronger. In fact, many powerful secret techniques and Dharma Doors were the result of the fusion of multiple Daos.

Xu Zong focused on the Time-Space Grand Dao and after some contemplation, he decided to choose five minor Daos that belonged to the Five Elements.

The Five Elements minor Daos were necessary for breaking through to the True Immortal realm because breaking through to the True Immortal realm required condensing the Five Qi in the chest, which was formed by the fusion of the five ordinary minor Daos of the Five Elements.

Since he would eventually have to comprehend the five minor Daos of the Five Elements, it was the perfect time to do so now.

Xu Zong chose the Sharp Gold Dao of the Metal Element, the Tender Sapling Dao of the Wood Element, the Stacked Waves Dao of the Water Element, the Fierce Fire Dao of the Fire Element, and the Fertile Earth Dao of the Earth Element.

For him, comprehending the minor Daos was very easy. It only took a few days to reach the true meaning of the Dao, and a few months to reach the Domain of the Dao. At the same time, in terms of emphasis on time and space, Xu Zong was more inclined towards the Qiankun Grand Dao. However, to reach the level of the Domain of the Grand Dao, it would probably take several years, or even more than a decade.

Several more months passed, and the internal world rapidly took shape as expected. The entire internal world turned into a gray egg shape, filled with countless chaotic forces like mercury. These chaotic forces were only the chaotic forces within his own internal world and couldn’t be compared to the chaotic forces outside the Three Realms. However, they continuously nourished his body and divine soul, allowing him to make rapid progress in refining his body and strengthening his divine soul day and night.

During his cultivation in this period of time, a major event occurred in the group.

Dragon Ball Xu Zong: “Do you want to watch me defeat Frieza?”

Desolate Era Xu Zong: “Let’s go!”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Aren’t you still under five years old?”

Dragon Ball Xu Zong: “It’s all because of my cheap old man. He saw how powerful my combat power is, so he couldn’t bear to be my subordinate and wanted to overthrow me and become the master.”

Desolate Era Xu Zong: “Start the live stream. I’ll come over now!”

Dragon Ball World, Planet Vegeta.

In a huge gravity chamber, hundreds of miniature robots floated around, like stakes rooted in space, their electronic eyes emitting red light locked onto the four-year-old boy in the center.

At a certain moment, instructions sounded from the miniature robots, and dazzling red lights shot out like lasers towards the young boy.

Countless red lasers formed a grid, seemingly sealing off all retreats.

However, the young boy in the center still had his eyes closed, as if he hadn’t noticed the scene at all. Just as it seemed like he was about to die under the lasers, his body suddenly moved, as if he had already seen through all the laser paths, effortlessly dodging each laser.

At a certain moment, dozens of lasers came together, covering his entire body like a spider web. His dodging movement paused for a moment, but then he raised his hand and flicked away more than ten lasers, narrowly avoiding the rest.

After all the lasers had finished shooting, Xu Zong opened his eyes, his gaze calm and serene.

“Excellent, you have already mastered the basics of the Ultra Instinct.”

In a corner of the gravity chamber, a young man with green skin and a staff in his hand applauded continuously, a smile on his face.

“No, there are still flaws.”

Xu Zong didn’t immerse himself in Weiss’ compliments, but shook his head calmly.”Automatically dodging is no longer a problem, but in the instant of attack, my brain still automatically thinks, causing flaws in my movements. This is far from perfect in the Free Will Extreme Intent Technique.”

In the Dragon Ball world, the requirement of the Free Will Extreme Intent Technique is to maintain a calm mind and spirit, to automatically dodge any attack without thinking, and even defeat any enemy.

Xu Zong’s heart is very strong, having reached the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm early on. After successfully bribing Whis with the delicacies of the Swallowed Star, under his guidance, Xu Zong quickly got the hang of the Free Will Extreme Intent Technique.

However, it’s too difficult to not think at any time. Let alone when dodging, in the instant of attack, one inevitably thinks about the method, angle, trajectory of the attack, and so on.

Now, Xu Zong can automatically dodge any attack, but he still can’t maintain a state of no thoughts and no distractions in the instant of attack. His realm and power are similar to Goku’s during the Great Conference, but he is much more proficient than Goku, able to enter this realm at any time and place.

“I guess my mental power is not strong enough.”

Xu Zong thought to himself.

“Beep beep!”

Suddenly, a mechanical alert sounded in the gravity room.

“Prince, Frieza is here!”
