Chapter 25: The Foundation of the Great Dao!
"Great Dao Divine Power?"
Looking at the status bar that appeared on his personal dashboard and sensing the mysterious axe mark in his mind, Xuantian was startled, then his face lit up with ecstasy.
In prehistoric times, Ancestor Hongjun had preached in the Zixiao Palace, passing down the Thirty-Six Great Heavenly Constellations Divine Powers and the Seventy-Two Top Lesser Divine Powers. These Great Heavenly Constellations were revered as the pinnacle of divine abilities at the time.
However, above even these powers existed something greater: Great Dao Divine Powers—legendary abilities even more terrifying than the Heavenly Constellations.
Now, with the help of the Enlightenment Card, Xuantian had resonated with Pangu's mighty power and inherited his legacy. He had directly comprehended the Great Dao Divine Power of Strength.
While all of the Three Thousand Great Daos can lead one to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, the power and influence of each Dao varied in strength. Among them, the Great Dao of Strength stood at the very top—a terrifying, supreme existence.
Although Xuantian's current understanding of the Great Dao of Strength—the Heaven-Splitting Strike—was merely a fraction of its full depth, its power was already unimaginable.
Most importantly, the Heaven-Splitting Seal had formed within his primordial spirit. Through continuous contemplation and refinement, he could deepen his mastery over this Great Dao Power. Once fully comprehended, even a single strike might be enough to slay a Saint.
However, compared to Heavenly Constellations Divine Powers, the Great Dao Divine Power was thousands of times more complex. Understanding it was a daunting endeavor.
With this thought, Xuantian immersed himself in contemplation while continuing to climb Mount Buzhou.
"We've arrived!"
One day, Xuantian paused. He had already reached the mountainside of Mount Buzhou. The Creation of Heaven pressure there was immense, almost tangible, only a Daluo Golden Immortal could withstand it.
However, the Heaven-Splitting Seal in his mind resonated with the pressure from the mountain. Instantly, ninety-nine percent of the pressure was neutralized. Xuantian let out a sigh of relief.
Without comprehending the Heaven-Splitting Seal to counteract the mountain's pressure, and even sensing the opportunity wouldn't have been enough, he wouldn't have been able to reach this far.
Buzz—
Sensing a mysterious pull, Xuantian struck forward with his fist. A mystical wave pulsed out, revealing an invisible restriction ahead. Though it appeared unassuming, it was more complex than the restriction at Shouyang—and even Sages might not perceive it.
Without hesitation, Xuantian refined the restriction and stepped inside.
"What is this...?"
Upon entering, Xuantian was stunned.
In front of him was a milky-white spiritual pool, radiating an aura of pure origin. Just looking at it gave rise to an instinctive desire to devour and refine it.
It was none other than the legendary Pangu Jade Marrow.
Bone marrow naturally possesses the ability to generate blood cell properties, and this divine marrow was even more terrifying. Once integrated into the body, it could continuously produce Pangu Blood, enhancing and transforming the bloodline. Each drop contained immense primordial energy and greatly benefited physical cultivation.
This pool likely held nearly a hundred drops of Pangu Jade Marrow.
But Xuantian's eyes soon turned to the sky—where a large fragment of a jade butterfly floated.
He had previously obtained a piece of the Creation Jade Butterfly in the Shouyang Forbidden Zone, but the fragment before him was more than ten times larger. He reached out and grasped it with one powerful hand pull. After a short refinement, the joy on his face was nearly overflowing.
This was indeed a piece of the Jade Butterfly of Creation.
Even the smallest fragment of this treasure, used for understanding the Dao, was equivalent in value to a supreme innate spiritual treasure.
But this piece before him… it might be equivalent to a true innate supreme treasure.
"Great Harvest! I've struck it rich this time!"
Xuantian immersed his mind into the fragment, and as expected, the Dao laws it contained were earth-shattering. They were none other than the Top Ten Dao Laws:
The Dao of Strength, The Dao of Time, The Dao of Space, The Dao of Destiny, The Dao of Karma, The Dao of Yin and Yang, The Dao of the Five Elements, The Dao of Chaos, The Dao of Destruction, and the Dao of Life
Each of these ranked among the top of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The Dao of Time, Space, and Destiny were even known as Forbidden Daos.
As for the Dao of Strength, it stood supreme, not merely representing brute strength, but the very concept of force itself. Whether it was the power of time, space, heaven, or the Dao, all were encompassed within it. A single strike of Pangu's axe contained the combined forces of time, space, and existence itself.
Xuantian suddenly understood, no wonder, when Pangu's axe fell, not even the greatest Chaos Gods and Demons could escape. No matter their evasion techniques, be it traveling through space or reversing time, they were still cut down.
Pangu's Dao of Strength surpassed all, making resistance hopeless.
Even more astonishingly, this Jade Butterfly fragment also contained Pangu's cultivation methods: the Nine Revolutions Profound Art and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art.
The Nine Revolutions Profound Art cultivated the body, and the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art cultivated the primordial spirit.
The former was the pinnacle body-refining technique of the prehistoric chaotic world. Xuantian had seen it with his own eyes when observing the scene of Pangu creating the heavens, how he stood against the combined attack of three thousand Chaos Gods and Demons and wiped them out with a single burst of divine light.
That alone showed how terrifying his physical body was.
Once cultivated to perfection, the Nine Revolutions Profound Art could make one invulnerable to the Dao, eternally indestructible.
Even its weakened version, the Eight-Nine Profound Art, was the foundational body technique of the Buddhist sects.
The Nine Revolutions Primordial Art was just as profound. Its cultivation allowed one's spiritual energy to far surpass others of the same realm, both in volume and purity.
And just when Xuantian thought the surprises were over...
A stream of purple air suddenly emerged from the Jade Butterfly fragment, radiating an endlessly mysterious aura.
"Is this... Primordial Purple Qi?"
