Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Xuan's gaze was calm as he looked at Duobao's pupils, which were slightly constricted due to tension, and he slowly spoke:

"The path to primordial unity lies in three points."

"A clear mind and an iron will."

"Deeply rooted, with a perfect origin."

"To cross... the tribulation of the Great Dao."

He spoke each word clearly and distinctly:

"Your foundation is not bad; you were transformed from a treasure rat, and your origin is pure."

"The tribulation of the Great Dao is a story for later, and we will not discuss it for now."

"The key lies in the second point... Your origin, though seemingly pure, is still influenced by the imprint of the Heavenly Dao and is not truly perfect."

Duobao's heart sank.

really......

He has cultivated the Shangqing Immortal Method for hundreds of millions of years, and the traces of the laws of heaven have long been engraved in his Dao fruit.

To achieve complete perfection and shed the imprint of the Heavenly Dao... how easy is that?

"but......"

Xuan Du changed the subject:

"It is not unsolvable."

Duobao suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing with unprecedented hope:

"Please enlighten me, Vice Leader!"

The martial arts rune in Xuandu's palm shimmered with light and slowly drifted toward Duobao:

"This is a projection of the original runes of my martial arts, containing the true meaning of martial arts for tempering the body, refining the soul, and consolidating the foundation."

"You can also cultivate martial arts, using the true essence of martial arts to temper yourself, refine your Dao fruit, gradually peel away the imprint of the Heavenly Dao, and replenish your origin."

"Once the foundation is perfected and the Dao heart is firm, then we can trigger the tribulation of the Great Dao... and perhaps we can make a gamble."

Duobao's breathing became rapid!

Practicing martial arts as well?!

To refine one's own Dao fruit and complete one's origin with the true essence of martial arts?!

this......

He stared intently at the slowly drifting chaotic rune, his eyes flashing wildly.

He had witnessed the power of martial arts firsthand.

The Vice Leader used martial arts to confront all the saints, crippled Laozi, killed Nuwa, gathered fortune, and proved the Primordial Chaos... which has already shaken the prehistoric world.

If one can obtain the true teachings of martial arts, perhaps one can truly... make up for one's own shortcomings and embark on that path of transcendence!

"Vice Master...this favor...this disciple..."

Duobao's voice trembled, unable to contain his excitement.

Xuan Du shook his head slightly:

No need for thanks.

"By teaching you martial arts, I am also helping the Jie Sect to open up a new path."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the magical artifact embryos and array diagrams on the cave walls:

"You are skilled in weapon crafting and formations; this is your forte."

"Martial arts training can also be combined with this."

"Using the methods of weapon forging, one tempers the physical body into a precious treasure; using the principles of formations, one structures the qi and blood like an array."

"Martial arts is not a dead end; it can integrate all techniques, and that is its true mystery."

Each word was like a sudden awakening, exploding deep within Duobao's mind!

Martial arts...can be used for weapon forging? Can they be used for formations?

Yes!

Back then, the Vice Leader used the Chaos Divine Light to break through the Zhou Tian Star Array. That divine light contained the supreme martial will and also faintly revealed the profound mystery of the array's flow!

It turns out that martial arts... is not just about brute force, nor is it just about physical tempering!

It can be inclusive, it can evolve, and it can... complement other great paths!

"Disciple...understands!"

Duobao suddenly understood, the confusion in his eyes vanished, replaced by an unprecedented clarity and determination!

Without further hesitation, he stretched out his hands and respectfully accepted the Chaos Rune.

The rune settled in my hand, feeling a slight weight.

next moment.

"boom!"

The vast and boundless true meaning of martial arts surged into the depths of Duobao Purple Mansion like a flood bursting its banks!

The surge of qi and blood is like the roar of a dragon!

The muscles and bones resonated in unison, like thunder!

A united will, as solid as a pillar reaching the heavens!

Countless insights into martial arts tempering, soul refining, battle intent, and breaking limits surged forth like a tide, imprinting themselves on his Dao heart!

Furthermore, a martial will that transcends all laws and is supreme begins to merge with his own Dao Fruit, slowly refining those subtle imprints originating from the laws of Heaven!

"Well......"

Duobao grunted, veins bulging on his forehead.

Refining the fruit of the Tao and removing its brand is by no means an easy task.

It was like scraping the bone to remove poison, an excruciating pain that pierced the very soul!

But he gritted his teeth and persevered, his eyes growing brighter and brighter!

pain!

But it's worth it!

This is the beginning of transcendence! It is the first step in breaking free from shackles!

Xuan Du sat quietly opposite, his gaze calmly watching Duo Bao's aura fluctuate violently. The treasure's light and the chaotic martial arts radiance intertwined and rotated, showing faint signs of transformation.

He nodded slightly.

Duobao's foundation is indeed solid, and his temperament is also resilient enough.

The compatibility between him and the true meaning of martial arts was even higher than he had expected.

At this rate, it may not be long before Duobao is able to initially integrate martial arts into himself and begin to truly refine his Dao fruit.

"Buzzing..."

Inside the cave, the energy surged.

A full half hour passed.

The radiance around Duobao slowly subsided.

He slowly opened his eyes, the precious light in them still shining, but now with a deeper, chaotic hue, and a sharp, sword-like martial will was also emerging.

Although the aura did not surge, the sense of harmony and profoundness originating from the source of life was extremely clear!

"How does it feel?"

Xuan Du spoke calmly.

Duobao took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed deeply to Xuandu:

"This disciple...thanks to the Vice Master for imparting the Dao!"

"The path of martial arts is profound and vast, like the ocean. This disciple has only just begun to grasp its essence, yet the road ahead seems instantly clear!"

"This path... truly can integrate all methods and mend all deficiencies!"

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"Now that you have understood, then practice diligently."

"Three days later, in Biyou Palace, I will gather my personal disciples to formally impart the true meaning of martial arts."

"As the first disciple, you should set an example."

Duobao nodded emphatically:

"This disciple will certainly live up to the Vice Leader's expectations!"

Xuan Du said no more and stood up.

"Consolidate it well."

He left behind a sentence, and with a flicker, he disappeared into the cave.

Duobao stood alone in place, motionless for a long time.

He slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, a wisp of chaotic martial arts essence quietly flowed, merging with the original Jade Purity Immortal Light. There was no conflict whatsoever; on the contrary, they seemed to complement each other.

"Martial Arts... Hunyuan..."

Duobao murmured softly, his eyes shining brighter than ever before.

That once unattainable and perilous path to transcendence...

Now, finally, a glimmer of light has appeared beneath his feet.

Without further hesitation, he turned and sat cross-legged on the jade platform.

He focused his mind on refining and comprehending the projection of the martial arts rune.

Outside the cave, the sea of ​​clouds surged and the rosy clouds shone brightly.

Deep within Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood atop the palace with his hands behind his back, gazing towards Duobao Peak, a slow smile playing on his lips.

"here we go......"

He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with a sword-like intent.

The changes in Duobao's aura naturally did not escape the perception of this sage.

That new, vibrant aura, imbued with the sharp edge of martial arts, is slowly merging with the original Shangqing Immortal Path of the Jie Sect, giving birth to unprecedented possibilities.

"Xuan Du... are you really going to open up a new world for the Jie Sect?"

Tongtian slowly raised his hand, and the illusory image of the Qingping Sword silently appeared in his palm.

The sword's blade shimmered with a clear light, reflecting the entire Golden Turtle Island, the magnificent spectacle of ten thousand immortals paying homage, and even more so... the ever-shining light of martial arts rising from the shores of the East China Sea.

"If that's the case..."

Tongtian's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his voice rang out like a sword's cry:

"Then I, your master... will protect you on your path!"

"Let's see which of these primordial saints dares to obstruct my Jie Sect's path to transcendence!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried an unwavering resolve, quietly echoing in every corner of Biyou Palace.

The four swords of Zhuxian hummed softly deep within the palace.

The sword intent soared to the sky, tearing through the clouds.
