Chapter 543 Advancement to Dao Realm
Hu Qi finished speaking.

The other Dao Lords all turned their gazes toward them.

However, no one spoke up immediately.

For them, Dao Crystals are usually refined directly upon acquisition.

Even if one or two are on one's person, their value is probably not enough to exchange for a Sage's Seed.

"I have four Dao Crystals!"

The one who spoke was a young woman carrying a scroll on her back.

There is a beauty mark under her eye.

This person is the seventh-ranked master of paintings.

"Four is too few, at least ten!"

Hu Qi shook his head.

Before the Yuan Eye is fully formed, the more Dao Crystals you have, the better.

"Ten? That's impossible. No one would keep that many Dao Crystals on hand!"

The owner of the painting shook his head.

“I can add two more Zhou Tian Pardons! These are the origin of my painting technique, which can transform things into two dimensions! When printed on paper, they can be used to reshape the form and structure of the matter within the paper by altering it.”

"This is all I can offer, and I doubt anyone here has more than I do!"

As he spoke, two talismans flowing with starlight appeared at the fingertips of the Master of Painting.

The surrounding space seemed to be subtly materializing, turning into wrinkles, and collapsing into flat sheets of paper.

The master of the painting looked around.

The rest of the people remained silent.

This is indeed the case.

Although they also wanted the Sage's Seed.

However, he himself did not have any extra Dao Crystals.

See this scene.

Hu Qi's gaze fell on the Zhou Tian Amnesty Edict in his hand.

His gaze shifted slightly.

Judging from the effect it produces, this thing does seem somewhat like the legendary two-dimensional foil.

The ability of a two-dimensional foil is that it can transform three dimensions into two dimensions.

The target area and all matter, planets, stars, life forms, etc. within it are collapsed from three-dimensional space into a two-dimensional plane, causing all objects to lose the concept of height and become an absolutely flat existence, similar to a 'painting'.

This process is irreversible.

The Master of Painting's creation is even more advanced than the two-dimensional foil.

Not only can it reduce the dimensions of the image, but it can also alter the image on the paper.

By applying it to a two-dimensional paper surface, the internal conditions within it are altered.

Even Hu Qi, when faced with this thing, sensed a hint of danger emanating from it.

However, it is still far inferior to the Seed of the Sages.

This kind of business, when you really think about it...

Hu Qi was somewhat at a disadvantage.

However, he still agreed to the deal.

After all, all he needed was Dao Crystals.

See this scene.

The Lord of Dreams, who was standing to the side, was getting restless.

"Fellow Daoist, I have a Dao Crystal here, but I can exchange it for one Sage's Seed in your possession, along with three-tenths of Dream Source..."

“Fellow Daoist, although I do not possess Dao Crystals, I do have a Heavenly Mechanism Heart…”

"Brother Hu..."

"Gentlemen, I have no intention of making a move at the moment!"

Hu Qi directly rejected the group's offer.

Four Dao Crystals, plus the nine obtained previously.

There are thirteen in total.

That should be enough to incubate the Yuan Eye.

Therefore, he is no longer prepared to engage in such unprofitable business.

Although everyone was somewhat disappointed by this.

But there was nothing more to say.

However, before leaving, Hu Qi still exchanged contact information with everyone.

In this way, if there is any need later, it can be traded privately.

After all, this discourse only takes place once every ten thousand years.

For Hu Qi, it was still too long.

……

Boundary Tower, fourteen stories.

Hu Qi returned to his room.

He then sat cross-legged.

He took out the thirteen Dao Crystals he had previously obtained through a transaction.

Then, a crack appeared on his forehead, absorbing the Dao Crystals one by one and refining them.

One... two... three...

The number of Dao Crystals is visibly decreasing.

If other Dao Lords saw this refining speed, they would definitely be shocked.

It would take at least several decades or even hundreds of years for a Dao Lord to refine a Dao Crystal.

Hu Qi's speed in refining Dao Crystals was simply unbelievable.

The thirteen Dao Crystals were refined in less than half a day.

Accompanying the refining of Dao Crystals.

Hu Qi could clearly sense that the fluctuations of the Yuan Eye were becoming increasingly intense.

The fluctuations were like life growing inside an eggshell, bursting with vitality, ready to break free at any moment.

"Still a little short!"

After the last Dao Crystal was completely refined and absorbed, Hu Qi slowly opened his eyes.

He frowned.

Thirteen Dao Crystals were still not enough to meet the requirements for advancing the Yuan Eye!
The feeling was like being separated by a thin veil; it seemed so close, yet after refining several Dao Crystals, it was still just a hair's breadth away.

Think of this.

He waved his hand!
A series of mirror-like light screens appeared before his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, I have another Sage Seed that I wish to sell for only ten Dao Crystals. If you have one, you can come and exchange it with me anytime."

The words fell.

The light curtain dissipated.

It was sent directly to all the Dao Lords, just like a pre-edited video message.

After that...

Hu Qi sent a list of the five Dao Lords, excluding the Lord of Truth.

Do it all.

Hu Qi stopped thinking about it.

I started focusing on the progress of capturing the image.

As for the seed of the wise.

Hu Qi had no intention of using it to accelerate his enlightenment.

This thing, after all, is a manifestation of the power of the Lord of Truth.

Although the possibility that there is a hidden problem is very small.

But with his scarlet panel, he didn't need to take that risk at all.

Rather than risk potentially leaving hidden health problems.

It would be better to use it as a last resort, or to trade it with other Dao Lords.

……

time flies.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, a Taoist leader also contacted Hu Qi.

Unfortunately, they didn't have enough Dao Crystals and wanted to use other things as substitutes.

Therefore, Hu Qi refused outright.

Besides.

The fourteenth boundary membrane of the boundary tower, which he was in charge of, experienced three problems during this period.

But after the problem was solved.

However, all they provided was a Dao Crystal.

In fact, this is the normal situation.

Not every time a problem occurs with the boundary membrane, a crystal will appear after it is resolved.

Otherwise, at this rate of frequency, the Dao Lords would definitely have accumulated a considerable amount of Dao Crystals.

After all, refining Dao Crystals takes time.

However, after absorbing that piece of Dao Crystal, the Yuan Eye remained unchanged, without any significant movement.

In this regard.

Hu Qi was also helpless.

This guy can eat even more than him.

Apart from that.

What concerned him was something else entirely.

He always feels.

The frequency of erosion of this boundary membrane is gradually increasing.

This reminds me of the almost corrupted gate to the true spirit I saw when I was promoted to Dao Lord.

This cast a shadow over Hu Qi's heart.

Sometimes, knowing too much can be a burden.

Because the truth is often accompanied by a deeper fear.

To mortals, the Origin Realm is a vast and boundless universe.

The stars are dazzling, the races are numerous, and the powerful are as numerous as clouds.

He is above all living beings, one of only fourteen Dao Lords in the world.

Even true gods who have attained immortality must bow their proud heads before him. But who could have imagined that the Origin Realm is now riddled with holes, like a cracked pottery vessel, barely held together by the power of the Realm Tower and the various Dao Lords?

No one knows how long this balance can last.

When the last line of defense of the Gate of True Spirits is completely eroded, the entire Origin Realm, and even the myriad worlds floating in the Sea of ​​Sumeru, will be exposed to the source calamity fog and those void creatures.

The ultimate outcome is the extinction of all living beings and the annihilation of all life.

At that time, even the Dao Lord standing at the pinnacle of the spirit world system will be powerless to reverse the situation.

The slightest mistake could lead to death.

Hu Qi, of course, could not accept this outcome.

The only way to break out of this predicament is to continuously improve one's own strength.

In this world, only one's own strength is the most reliable reliance.

The only constant truth is that we must become strong ourselves.

If he had enough power, he could break through the Void Sea and shatter the source of the disaster and the gray fog.

Bring out the gate of the true spirit from within.

These thoughts flashed through Hu Qi's mind.

immediately.

He looked at the panel that appeared in front of him.

(Scenery rendering progress: 100%)

At this moment, his reflection progress has finally reached one hundred percent.

Think about this.

His gaze shifted downwards.

Look at the skills section.

【Divine Limit Heart Sutra△ (Dao Lord Chapter, Ninth Level: Spirit Earth Realm)】

……

[Modified value: 13593001 (9%)]

See this scene.

Hu Qi had a sudden thought.

"Crimson! Revise and upgrade the Divine Limit Heart Technique for me!!"

hum!
On the panel, the modification value of ten million was clearly visible and rapidly decreasing.

Inside Hu Qi's body.

At the very top of the cave world, in the space where the spiritual soil seed resides, an astonishing transformation is taking place.

The massive, towering rock formation suddenly split open, and a dazzling golden light shot out from the crack.

A tender bud, its entire body shimmering with gold, bursts forth from the earth. Profound Daoist patterns flow across its leaves, each pattern seemingly expounding the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

At the same time, the weather in the sky suddenly changed.

A desolate, circular phantom slowly emerged, its color as pale as frost and snow, deathly still.

Yet it also exudes a mysterious aura that has existed since time immemorial.

Staring intently, it's as if a circle could draw one's spirit and soul into it.

This is precisely the manifestation of the legendary 'Taoist vision'.

This is also the origin of the name of the Dao Scenery in the second realm of Dao Lord.

Each Dao Master's Dao Realm is unique.

Hu Qi's Dao landscape is very simple. In some ways, it is more like his original form, Taiyu, which is a ring formed by the head and tail of a snake connected together.

……

At the same time that Hughes was promoted.

The deepest part of the Void Sea.

On that ancient and decaying gate of the true spirit, the inscription representing the Lord of Infinity suddenly shone with dazzling light.

The entire Gate of True Spirits trembled slightly at that moment.

It burst forth with a dazzling light, instantly dispelling the surrounding black traces and the black mist.

suddenly.

next second.

A hazy figure slowly coalesced in the void.

In the dim light, one could see a figure with white hair.

He paused and gazed into the distance, his eyes piercing through the endless void, staring intently at the Gate of True Spirits for a long time.

His expression revealed a hint of apprehension.

Then he chuckled.

"That's really interesting."

A low murmur echoed in the void.

"In a mere century, this Lord of Infinity has actually increased his strength once again."

While talking.

He raised his hand and made a grasping motion toward the direction of the Gate of True Spirits!
Click, click, click!
The True Spirit Gate, which had been shining brightly because of Hu Qi's advancement, paused slightly before its light dimmed and returned to normal.

Do it all.

The figure withdrew its hand and looked down.

A charred black mark appeared on the entire palm.

However, the wound is slowly healing.

-

in the room.

Hu Qi opened his eyes.

The changes in my body have stopped.

Although there is no change in appearance.

However, their strength has improved significantly compared to before.

The area of ​​the cave has expanded once again.

The power of rules has begun to transform.

It has already transcended the scope of the power of rules.

Approaching an even more powerful law.

Besides.

The highest level of space, the very center.

A giant tree stands between heaven and earth, its roots extending throughout the entire grotto world.

The main trunk is like bronze casting, vigorous and gnarled, with ancient runes raised on its surface, as if engraved or naturally formed.

The bark was not rough and cracked, but smooth as cold jade, with a faint luster, as if golden light flowed inside.

Its branches do not grow horizontally like ordinary trees, but spiral upwards, like dragons and snakes climbing a pillar to the sky.

The leaves are shaped like the feathers of a blue phoenix, with a faint golden sheen at the edges. When they move without wind, they produce a clear and melodious sound that echoes throughout the world.

This tree is the tree of the Way.

Behind the Dao Tree, a huge, pale ring hangs in the sky, like a full moon, casting a cool, clear light.

……

inside the room.

Hu Qi snapped out of his daze.

My gaze returned to the panel.

-

[Divine Limit Heart Sutra (Dao Lord Chapter Fifteenth Level: Dao Landscape Realm) Dao Landscape: Pale Ring]

……

[Modified value: 1593001 (9%)]

Hu Qi's cultivation level has entered the Dao Realm, and the Dao Realm he obtained is called the Pale Ring.

Thinking of that pale ring, the name is quite fitting.

But that wasn't what concerned him.

Instead, the Divine Limit Heart Technique had reached the fifteenth level, not the expected peak of the Dao Realm, which was the eighteenth level.

This surprised Hu Qi somewhat.

Logically, over ten million modification points should be more than enough to upgrade it to level eighteen.

But he soon discovered why.

In the Spirit Land Realm, each level of the Divine Limit Heart Technique requires one million modification points to modify.

And after reaching the Dao Jing stage.

Each upgrade requires two million.

It has increased by a full two times.

In the past, only advancement to a higher realm would increase the consumption of modification points.

This time, however, things are a little different.

However, considering the power difference between the Dao Lord and other realms.

This situation does seem to be not entirely impossible.

However, this resulted in the original modification value of over ten million only raising the Divine Limit Heart Technique to level fifteen.

That is equivalent to the late stage of Daojing.

Then it will be impossible to improve any further.

"It seems we still need to find a way to harvest some modified values!"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

He originally thought he would have more than enough modified values.

But now it seems that it's not enough at all.

Each floor of Daojing requires two million.

What about the Jade Realm and the Dao Fruit Realm after that?
I'm afraid there will be even more!
Just as Hu Qi was pondering this,

The space in front of me rippled slightly, spreading out in tiny circles.

A line of ink-colored characters slowly appeared in the void.

After seeing its contents.

Hu Qi looked somewhat surprised.

He turned his head to look at the membrane, and pondered for a moment.

With a flicker, a clone emerged.

He sat cross-legged and settled down to guard this place.

After doing all this, Hu Qi straightened his sleeves, took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
