Chapter 609 The Core Area [Part 5]

Another place.

As the publicly acknowledged Holy Son of Lingyu Mountain, Zhang Chen was also among the crowd.

He looked intently at Hu Qi, who was sitting cross-legged.

Zhang Chen's face was blurry, and his expression was impossible to discern.

After a long pause, he sighed softly.

This sigh revealed for the first time a sense of powerlessness and defeat.

As the original chosen one of heaven, the holy son of Lingyu Mountain.

Naturally, one should have sufficient information about one's own strength, so this shouldn't be the case.

However, the rise of his opponent disrupted his plans.

Although his opponent was powerful, he did have the desire to fight him.

But as time goes by.

Especially now that Bu Fengtian, who was at the half-step Dao Master realm, was killed on the spot by the opponent with a single blow.

He understood that the opponent was too strong.

Perhaps they didn't go all out before.

Therefore, he abandoned the idea.

He wasn't afraid of death or lacked the will to fight, but simply going to his death like this was meaningless.

Even if he uses his trump card, he still wouldn't be a match for his opponent.

He even suspected that even a Dao Lord who successfully advanced to the Spirit Earth Realm might not be a match for the other party.

"To be born in the same era as such a monster is truly a despair for us..."

shook his head.

He turned and left.

……

As expected, the facts did not surprise everyone.

After the death of Bu Fengtian, who was at the half-step Dao Master level, no one dared to challenge Hu Qi for a long time.

If there was still a sliver of hope in their hearts before, now they have seen the reality clearly: such an existence is simply beyond their ability to contend with.

Going up there wouldn't be a challenge, it would just be suicide.

Rather than fantasizing about wresting the position of Dao Child from the hands of True Monarch Tianpeng, it would be more practical to wait until one's cultivation is nearing its bottleneck and one is approaching the age of maturity, then find a spiritual source to seal oneself away, and wait for the next opening of Zixiao Palace before emerging to compete for the position of Dao Child.

For the immortal true god, time has no meaning.

However, ten eras, or billions of years, is not a short time, and is equally long.

If they could, no one would be willing to do that.

Among the crowd, those prodigies who had been unsealed from the spiritual source silently watched all of this.

Many others, like Zhang Chen, did not linger there any longer and turned to leave.

Confident in his own strength, yet unwilling to accept defeat and wanting to fight again, he prepared to seal himself away when the time was almost up, awaiting the selection of the next Dao Child ten epochs later.

As for others, they simply gave up on the idea.

However, some people chose to leave.

But there were still many people around the spot.

After all, for most cultivators, their purpose in coming here is not to compete for the position of Dao Child.

Even without the existence of this Heavenly Roc Dao Lord, they knew they were not qualified to compete for it.

For any group, true geniuses are often few and far between.

Ordinary and commonplace is what makes the masses.

They came here simply to witness the birth of the Dao Child of this era in the Northern Heaven Domain.

As the time goes.

Still, no one stepped forward to challenge them.

Hu Qi didn't care about this.

He appeared to be meditating with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.

However in reality.

His senses, however, amplified, enveloping the Xuanbei Heavenly Root beneath him.

As the northern pillar of the mountain and sea realm, it is used to share the pressure of the real pillar of heaven.

It was itself created by the Celestial Venerable.

However, after the Mountain and Sea Realm disintegrated, the Northern Heaven Domain separated from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

This Xuanbei Heavenly Root has also broken. Apart from the fact that the extreme cold energy it contains can be of some use to certain special creatures and even cultivators who practice cold-attribute techniques, it is no longer useful.

There is no other effect at all.

This is something that more than one Daoist master has tried to understand and gain some insights from.

But without exception they all failed.

Ultimately, it is just a pillar.

but.

In some respects, this thing was indeed crafted by a True Spirit level expert.

Therefore, he wanted to analyze this Xuanbei Heavenly Root to gain insights and see if he could obtain some information about the True Spirit level.

Under normal circumstances, it would be almost impossible to do.

However, Hu Qi possesses the Source Eye, which enables him to analyze all things and trace their origins.

Indeed, some gains were made from this shattered Xuanbei Heavenly Root.

Unfortunately, the results were limited and far from meeting the requirements.

There is another reason for this.

Hu Qiruo fully activated the Source Eye.

This can be used as an anchor point to forcibly probe the Heavenly Venerable who created the Xuanbei Heavenly Root back then.

However, doing so would very likely attract the attention of this being.

Distance and spacetime are of little use to beings at the True Spirit level.

Hu Qi would not want to take this risk unless absolutely necessary.

All he wanted to do was extract information from the traces remaining within the Xuanbei Heavenly Root.

Otherwise, he could have simply analyzed the Black Spirit Banner, a true artifact, to find out its source, without going through all this trouble.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

- Om!

A peculiar buzzing sound resounded.

Everyone looked up.

next second.

The light in the world suddenly dimmed, and all was silent.

A magnificent pillar of light descended from the heavens, like a ladder connecting the sky and the mortal world, completely enveloping Hu Qi, who was sitting cross-legged.

laugh--!
The moment the light touched my body, a subtle yet distinct burning pain came from my palm.

Hu Qi raised his palm and looked over.

This body, modified by Scarlet and inheriting the complete Golden-Winged Roc physique, was already strong enough to withstand the sharpness of a Dao artifact.

But at this moment, a rune appeared out of thin air on the smooth, jade-like skin of her palm.

It was an intricate and mysterious mark, as if countless delicate purple-gold flower branches intertwined and intertwined, outlining a deep purple circle.

As the patterns flowed, a faint aura of the Great Dao permeated the air, pulsating slightly as if it were alive.

As he focused his gaze, a profound thought naturally surged into his mind, instantly making him understand the origin and purpose of the rune.

This is the Dao Seal, bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, symbolizing the identity of a Dao Child.

Only those who possess this seal are qualified to enter the legendary core forbidden area.

Zixiao Palace, where one can listen to the true voice of the Great Dao.

At the same time, this mark is also a talisman.

Unless they are both of the younger generation, anyone who attacks him will inevitably trigger a backlash from the power of Heaven.

"I wonder if this thing can block the prying eyes of a True Spirit level being?!"

Look at this mark.

This idea arose in Hu Qi's mind.

If it were possible, he wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

However, he dismissed the thought the moment it arose.

This thing, though called a mark of the Heavenly Dao, is actually nothing more than a trick of that Heavenly Venerable of Zixiao Palace.

True Spirit level, even the Heavenly Dao cannot restrain it.

Trying to use the power bestowed by the other party to stop a fellow True Spirit level being is futile and like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

For Daozi, the most important thing about this thing is to prevent Daozhu from killing him halfway.

However, this was of little use to Hu Qi.

The beam of light gradually faded, and the world returned to calm, as if everything just now was an illusion.

However, the purple-gold intertwined Dao seal in Hu Qi's palm was indeed emitting a faint light.

"Greetings, Daozi!"

In the crowd, someone shouted out first, their voice filled with awe and excitement.

The next moment, like a tide overflowing a dam, people from all directions bowed and shouted in unison to Hu Qi above the Xuanbei Heavenly Root in the center:
"Greetings, Daozi!!!"

The sound was like thunder, rolling in and shaking the entire world for a long time.

Hu Qi merely smiled slightly, slowly rose from the ground forged from the Xuanbei Heavenly Root Ice, and calmly bowed to his surroundings. He then lingered without further ado.

With a single step, a pair of pure golden wings suddenly unfurled behind him, and with a flap of his wings, his figure soared upwards, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

……

After leaving the Northern Heaven Profound Root, Hu Qi began to travel around the entire Northern Heaven Domain, trying to find more traces left by the True Spirit level.

This allows Scarlet to meet the requirements of the deduction.

Although he obtained the identity of a Daoist disciple and could listen to the Dao, it was only an alternative.

Rushing to Zixiao Palace also carries certain dangers.

When faced with the unknown, Hu Qi strives to nip all variables in the bud.

Therefore, the best way is to advance to the True Spirit level without going to Zixiao Palace, by deducing the traces left by the True Spirit level.

The Northern Heavenly Domain covers a vast area.

Even with Hu Qi's strength.

It took several years to complete the journey through the entire Northern Heaven Domain, but the result was not satisfactory.

Seeing this, Hu Qi realized it was time to leave.

However, there is one more thing to do before leaving.

His gaze was fixed on a certain spot.

In the depths of my being, I sensed something related to him.

……

Wujian Pavilion.

Ever since Hu Qi publicly killed Sword Master Su Yang.

Almost all the disciples of Wujian Pavilion harbored hatred towards Lingyu Mountain.

Because in their view, this was a blatant provocation.

This also made the relationship between the two more strained.

If it weren't for the vastness of the Northern Heavenly Region and the great distance between them...

I'm afraid they've already started fighting.

As for the culprit, Hu Qi, almost everyone automatically ignored him.

The other party has already become a Daoist.

Within an era, that is, within a billion years, even if those Dao Lords wanted to take action against it, they would be unable to.

After all, the backlash from the power of Heaven is something that even a so-called Dao Lord cannot resist.

However, there are always loopholes to exploit.

Although the Dao Lord was unable to take action to kill the opponent.

However, there are other ways to ask other Heavenly Realm Daoists or geniuses to take action against Hu Qi.

At the summit of Lingyun Peak in Wujian Pavilion, the sea of clouds rises and falls.

The three characters 'Lingyun Pavilion' hang high, with vigorous strokes that seem to suggest a soaring flight.

Inside the pavilion, the two sat facing each other.

The man at the east end had snow-white hair and a refined appearance. Behind him stood two swords, one blue and one red, exuding an air of authority in silence.

This person was none other than Chongmingzi, the master of the Swordless Pavilion, who had met Hu Qi once before.

The one to the west, dressed in white, appeared otherworldly and ethereal.

His identity was none other than Xin Jue, a Buddhist disciple of Yunlei Temple in the Western Heaven Domain.

"Mo Ming's foundation is far from ordinary. Are you... absolutely certain?"

Chongmingzi asked in a deep voice.

The person in front of him, Xin Jue, had contacted him not long ago, wanting to cooperate in dealing with that Mo Ming.

Upon hearing this, Xinjue simply smiled slightly.

His eyes and brows were full of compassion and peace.

“Amitabha, I am already aware of this matter, but since I have come here, I have some means of support.”

The words have not yet fallen.

He held one palm lightly in front of him.

All of a sudden.

Three interlocking rings of Buddha light appeared behind his head, solemn and clear, making him appear even more transcendent, as if a true Buddha had descended to earth.

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this strange phenomenon,

Even a Dao Fruit Realm expert like Chongmingzi couldn't help but slightly change his expression.

He clearly sensed that within those layers of Buddhist light, the auras of the three Dao Lords were intertwined.

The Spirit Land Realm, the Dao Landscape Realm, and the Wonderful Jade Realm are all present.

Even more bizarrely, these auras were of the same origin as Xinjue himself, as if they were originally one entity transformed from each other, mysterious and difficult to describe, and even exuding a bit of evil.

He had heard in his early years that Yunlei Temple had a secret method that allowed one to be reincarnated and achieve multiple lifetimes.

Once a certain level of power is reached in each lifetime, one must choose to end their own life.

Once this method is mastered, each reincarnation and rebirth will be conducted at an age recognized by the Heavenly Dao, effectively creating a completely new person.

If one can achieve perfect cultivation, one can integrate the cultivation of several lifetimes into one body, becoming almost invincible among those of the same level, which can be described as defying the heavens.

However, this method also has serious drawbacks.

It is equivalent to splitting a person's soul and consciousness into several parts, creating multiple independent personalities.

Ultimately, all past lives will become resources and nourishment for the final incarnation.

Such an approach is something that those past personalities might not be willing to take; it requires great perseverance and a grand vision to accomplish.

Otherwise, he would just become a schizophrenic madman.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to master this method.

I never expected to see this in this person.

Shinjue took in Chongmingzi's astonishment, his smile deepening slightly, and asked softly:

"What does the Pavilion Master think of this humble monk's method?"

"Excellent!"

Chongmingzi concealed the surprise and doubt in his eyes, and his expression returned to calm.

"With the Buddha's abilities, dealing with Mo Ming would be a piece of cake!"

With the cultivation he gained in his previous lives, Xin Jue's combat power has long surpassed the upper limit of a true god.

When going all out, unless one is at the Dao Fruit Realm.

Otherwise, no one could be his match.

Furthermore, if one were to achieve enlightenment in this lifetime...

At that time, their strength would likely be even more terrifying, making them among the most powerful in the Dao Fruit realm.

"In that case, we will have to trouble the Pavilion Master to intervene and stop the people from Spirit Prison Mountain!"

The mind perceives the Way.

He was initially only somewhat interested in Mo Ming.

However, after hearing that the other party had become a Dao Child and even killed a half-step Dao Lord.

This immediately piqued his interest even more.

He was already eager to convert the other party and make it his mount.

However, without the protection of a Dao Child, he would have to be wary of interference from the two Dao Fruit experts of Spirit Prison Mountain if he were to make a move against Mo Ming.

That's why he sought out Shigeakiko for collaboration.

According to his understanding, the Swordless Pavilion already had a grudge against the other party.

In this way, both of them got what they wanted.

"It's natural..."

Chong Mingzi smiled slightly.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes; he hated Mo Ming to the core.

Now that the opportunity has come knocking, he naturally has no reason to refuse it.

The only downside is that I can't just kill the other person directly.

“Interesting, Chongmingzi, you old man are quite something.”

"But you bald monk, I've never even met you before, yet you dare to come and deal with me?"

suddenly.

A voice suddenly rang out in the attic.
