A Scroll of Infinite Glory

Chapter 646 Using Armor to Cultivate Immortality, Observing the Dao

From afar, countless magical artifacts, like dust particles, disintegrated and fell from the exterior of the tenth heaven.

But if you look closely, every single, seemingly insignificant grain of dust is actually an exquisitely crafted magical artifact.

Perhaps it is bells, tripods, seals, and towers; perhaps it is swords, spears, axes, and halberds; perhaps it is calligraphy, painting, brushes, boats, and shuttles; perhaps it is mountains, rivers, stars, cities, and kingdoms.

Every magical artifact, inside and out, is engraved with a grand array of magic. As it falls, it naturally absorbs the energy of the Chaos Sea and the Heavenly Realm, transforming it into earth-shattering power that crashes down upon the land.

"Is this meant to show me, in the most straightforward way, the accumulation of time?"

"Time in an ordinary multiverse isn't enough to generate much power, but time at the mid-level Celestial Venerable level still has unparalleled value. Wow! What a grand spectacle!!"

Guan Luoyang looked up at the scene, changed the posture of the Hongmeng Heavenly Blade in his hand, and swung it backward.

The blade was raised above the head, parallel to the surface of the Boundary Sea, with the tip slightly lowered. It seemed to have begun to connect with the immeasurable chaotic energy of the Eastern Boundary Sea, making the tip of the Heavenly Blade incredibly heavy.

Even a Celestial Venerable like Guan Luoyang, when he raised such a sword and moved its tip, displayed a tremor throughout his body, a tense Celestial Venerable body, and the exertion of all his strength to the extreme.

He swung the same knife at the sky once more, the tip pointing upwards.

Beneath the surface of the border sea, a raging torrent of unparalleled ferocity suddenly surged forth.

At this moment, all the sacred lands of the immortal races in the Eastern Boundary Sea could observe the surrounding chaotic sea surface, where towering waves were surging.

It was as if some terrifying creature, whose size and scale were no less than that of the entire holy land, was violently rising from beneath the sea, bringing with it a roar of chaos.

The celestial beings who remained in their respective sacred sites all watched this scene with solemn expressions.

They soon saw that the towering waves, rising too slowly, were cleaved apart by the internal forces, and pairs of enormous wings broke through the chaotic turmoil, sweeping past the holy sites and taking flight with their rugged and majestic bodies.

Such a monster was shaped like a dragon, with pure white scales, gray brown fur, and golden eyes, and was incredibly sacred. However, the front half of its body had long wings, with a total of a thousand wings that could blot out the sky and the sun.

The light of the heavens was blocked by their figures, casting enormous shadows that could cover the entire holy land. What was even more terrifying was that these shadows were moving at a speed that even celestial beings could hardly perceive.

Even if it's just the speed of light, which is a mere 300,000 kilometers per second, or even faster, it's still observable to celestial beings.

However, even when these feathered dragons were just beginning to stretch their bodies, they were at least ten times faster than that one.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

It does not rely on the adjustment of time and space to achieve faster movement.

Rather, it's purely because these dragons possess incredibly powerful momentum when they move. If they weren't in chaos, it's hard to imagine the terrible destruction they would cause to the ordinary universe just as they were climbing towards that speed.

This is a dragon's skeleton formed by casting the mountain shape with chaos as the casting material, then combining and arranging the mountain shapes from various realms, using the primordial purple qi as flesh and blood, and the primordial spiritual light as scales and feathers, and making the divine form of the demonic dragon move according to the trajectory of the Other Shore Dragon Fist, thus possessing this level of power and speed.

The Primordial Heavenly Blade in Guan Luoyang's hand is a symbol of commanding all dragons.

When he raised his sword to the sky, the Holy Lords who were watching the battle did not have time to count how many Thousand-Winged Demonic Dragons broke out of the Chaos Sea and flew towards the Heavenly Realm.

Or perhaps, it flew towards those magical artifacts that had fallen from the surface of the heavens.

The clash between the Thousand-Winged Demon Dragon and the Immortal Artifact erupted with dazzling spiritual light at a height far above the surface of the Chaos Sea.

Like clusters of violently erupting clouds of light, rising and falling, constantly spreading, rarely contracting, it is unimaginable how many magical artifacts and dragon energy explode, burn, and are destroyed in the process of colliding!

But within that cloud of light radiating destructive energy, twenty-one faint images broke through the obstruction of all the Thousand-Winged Demon Dragons and bombarded down at an even faster speed.

The magical artifacts accumulated over hundreds of millions of years of the Celestial Venerable's life are merely an extra.

The true power of the Divine Armor Dao Lord lies in just four words: "Using Armor to Cultivate Immortality!"

The fundamental principle of the Xuanmen Qi Cultivation Method is to use the false to cultivate the true. It assumes that there is a kind of primordial energy that can directly represent the supreme Dao, and that the Dao is born from Qi.

Then observe the flow of various energies between heaven and earth, and continuously sublimate the primordial energy that you can control, approaching the Dao, until you attain the Dao.

The Divine Armor Daoist's method of cultivating through armor means that the armor is not his true body, but it can replace the function of the true body, constantly making corrections so as to more smoothly verify right and wrong, explore the unknown, and climb to a higher realm.

Unintentionally, his path had already found common ground with the fundamental principles of the Xuanmen (Taoist) school.

It can be said that this tiger beetle is closer to the essence of Xuanmen cultivation than most mainstream Xuanmen practitioners in Taiqing Chiming.

After he cultivated to the Heavenly Venerable realm, he split his Dao Source Artifact and gifted it to all the Heavenly Immortals and Emperors in the Immortal Spirit Clan to assist them in their cultivation.

Those at the Celestial Immortal level will not be discussed in detail for now.

The lion's share is distributed to those powerful emperors.

Once an emperor obtains this part of the divine artifact, and then cultivates the "Great Method of Cultivating Truth by Borrowing Armor" created by the Divine Armor Dao Lord, he can deeply resonate with the divine artifact, accelerating his process of opening up the Great Dao Realm and condensing the Holy Land.

Moreover, the Immortal Spirit Clan has acquired many valuable resources through the business of creating magical artifacts over the years. When these resources are used to promote the development of the Holy Land, the presence of certain Dao Source Artifacts in the middle can greatly reduce useless waste and even create more similar resources from the chaos.

Dao Source Artifacts should ideally resonate perfectly with the Dao of the Heavenly Venerable powerhouse who crafted them, and would repel any sacred land.

However, through the Artifact of Immortal Cultivation, these powerful emperors of the Immortal Spirit Clan, after cultivating together for a long time, could even sense that part of the artifact had grown to a state completely identical to their own.

When necessary, the Divine Armor Dao Lord personally used the twenty Saint Lord Armors, making it seem as if the Immortal Spirit Clan had temporarily gained twenty Saint Lords.

"What a brilliant move!!"

Even the Good Dragon Ancestor had to admit that he had misjudged the situation, and he also understood where the confidence of the Holy Lords of the Immortal Spirit Clan in the Divine Armor Dao Lord came from.

"It's a pity that the Divine Armor Dao Lord was born into the Immortal Spirit Clan, and of those twenty holy lands, only twelve reached their peak."

Therefore, among the Holy Lord's armor, only twelve suits of armor possess the power of a low-level Celestial Venerable.

The other eight armored stomachs were only at a similar level to the Five Turbid Emperors, but without the obvious weaknesses of the Five Turbid Emperors. Together, the eight of them could be equivalent to a low-level Celestial Venerable.

Based on this calculation, as long as Guan Luoyang takes out the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire, he should still be able to steadily gain the upper hand over the opponent.

"Fellow Daoist Shanlong, I'm afraid you've overlooked something."

A strange light shone in Mu Feng Tianzun's eyes as he gazed at the battlefield. "Battle is not arithmetic. Normally, ten Holy Lords combined can only fight one mid-level Heavenly Venerable head-on. But that's because Holy Lords are powerful, and their Great Daos are bound to be different. Even if they cultivate formations or some kind of combined great divine power, they can't achieve perfect coordination. In the eyes of a mid-level Heavenly Venerable, there will always be flaws."

"But even though those twenty Saint Lord armors possess the combat power and characteristics of twenty Saint Lords, in essence, they are still the Dao Source Artifacts belonging to the Divine Armor Dao Lord alone."

Upon hearing this, Master Shanlong's thick, white eyebrows twitched, and he was suddenly startled.

Therefore, the coordination between those Holy Lord Armored Warriors is fully capable of reaching the level of a mid-level Celestial Venerable.

Even if Guan Luoyang were to unleash the Eternal Calamity Divine Flame, it would be difficult to determine the superiority or inferiority of the opponent for the time being.

Compared to the ease with which the Divine Armor Dao Lord wielded his own Dao Source Divine Artifact, the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire was clearly a heavier burden on Guan Luoyang.

If this goes on for too long, this...

"Why insist on fighting when they've already taken the initiative to win over Celestial Venerable Fengming and want to form an alliance with us?!"

Master Shanlong felt a pang of reproach in his heart. "If you're going to fight, then fight. But you went so far as to hold nothing back. If Celestial Venerable Fengming loses, what will we say about the alliance later?"

"Is this Divine Armor Daoist Lord just here to make fun of us?!"

Immortal Venerable Kunwu and the other Holy Lords were too busy admiring the battle to think much about it.

Upon witnessing this battle, Mu Feng Tianzun felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Good, this Dao Lord is indeed a pure person! If Feng Ming can hone her skills with him, it might not be a bad thing during this great calamity."

He had already realized that even if Guan Luoyang took out the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire, in terms of pure power, he was still slightly inferior to the Divine Armor Dao Lord at this moment.

But the next moment, he realized that he had made the same mistake he had made when he lectured others.

Combat is never just a simple arithmetic.

When the Divine Armor Dao Lord, riding twenty pieces of Saint Lord Armor, broke through the obstruction of the Thousand-Winged Demon Dragon.

Upon seeing such a novel and powerful method, Guan Luoyang was overjoyed and burst into laughter. He flicked his Heavenly Blade, tossing it into the air. After spinning, the blade tip pointed downwards and suddenly fell to the ground.

Guan Luoyang guided him to place the Eternal Divine Fire on his brow and looked up.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

The Primordial Heavenly Blade pierced through the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire on the spot, then pierced through Guan Luoyang's brow, and went straight down.

In an instant, Guan Luoyang's true form transformed into countless pure Dao light clouds, which then exploded and dispersed.

Along with the Eternal Calamity Divine Fire and the Primordial Heavenly Blade, they also changed form, transforming into emerald silk and purple aura, which then exploded outwards.

"A method of disintegration?!"

Immortal Venerable Kunwu exclaimed in surprise, "How could Fellow Daoist Fengming suddenly use such a heretical technique? No, this is called 'Disintegration'..."

He stared intently, a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

The Xuanmen (mystical sect) explores the Great Dao, and there are countless branches. Among them, practitioners of the Danding (alchemy) category generally believe that methods such as disintegration by soldiers and disintegration by corpses are inferior paths that cannot preserve the true body or lead to the realm of superior immortals.

Some radicals even go so far as to condemn the practice of dismemberment by soldiers and corpses as unorthodox and heretical practices.

But in reality, the word "解" in "兵解之道" means not only disintegration and resolution, but also liberation and transcendence.

The original method of dissolving physical bodies was essentially because a certain cultivator cultivated too quickly and gained too much understanding of his realm, so he was able to realize his previous shortcomings very quickly.

In order to resolve the various hidden dangers left over from the past as soon as possible and to explore new realms more steadily and comprehensively, it is necessary to use drastic methods that are almost suicidal, to quickly get rid of the previous limitations, to disintegrate oneself, and to prove the new path.

However, people with such unbelievably fast cultivation speeds are ultimately extremely rare.

Even their companions or seniors could not imagine that their cultivation speed was so fast, let alone truly understand why they did it this way.

As for the younger generation, their understanding is naturally even less effective.

These younger generations, admiring the great achievements of the first person to achieve spiritual liberation, misunderstood the cause and effect, believing that the other party had practiced the method of spiritual liberation, which was why he progressed so quickly.

Based on their own imagination, they devised methods for dissolving the body and developed techniques that relied on damaging the physical body to enhance the sensitivity of the soul and accelerate the cultivation of the soul.

Or they might simply rely on exploiting the body, treating the flesh as fuel and divine weapons as flames, in exchange for a short-term boost to their spiritual power.

Since the foundation is insufficient, resorting to shortcuts will inevitably sow the seeds of future problems.

No wonder he was looked down upon by other cultivators.

Ironically, even those cultivators who embarked on the path of self-destruction were unaware of it.

This degraded so-called "art of self-dissolution" is completely contrary to the idea of ​​the ancient sages who chose self-dissolution to correct their flaws.

They really thought that the military dissolution was a charade that was all show and no substance from the very beginning.

Until today, until this moment, until this instant.

Only then did the two powerful figures from the Heavenly Court's Pill Department truly witness what the true path of physical disintegration was!

After the Primordial Heavenly Blade fell, Guan Luoyang's aura did not show any signs of becoming extreme or biased due to the damage to his physical body and the strengthening of his divine soul. On the contrary, it revealed a trend of expansion and growth in all aspects.

The physical path of a spiritual practitioner essentially represents participation in and control over physical things.

While Guan Luoyang's physical body appeared to be disintegrating under the Heavenly Blade, in fact, within the boundless chaos around him, endless innate matter was being born at an astonishing speed.

This innate substance, like pure white quicksand, is transformed from chaos. Once formed, it becomes a physical entity and will not be assimilated back into the innate chaos.

Each grain of white sand seems to embody the beauty of all the principles of Taoism in a starry universe, crystal clear and radiating a soft halo.

When billions of pure white rivers flow out of the chaos, many tiny, smooth white sands will leap up and down on the surface, like scattered water mist or fluttering veils of light, which is very beautiful.

But in the next instant, the thoughts of all the spectators flickered involuntarily, as if they were blinking.

In the blink of an eye, all the white sand changed its appearance. From the depths of the white sand, a wisp of fire shone out, and a rich aura of eternity flowed out. The pure white color turned into a light blue-white luster.

The Divine Armor Dao Lord, along with the twenty suits of armor, were surrounded by the vast river during their fall, merging into hundreds of torrents that washed over them.

"Primordial Chaos, Eternal Calamity, Divine Dragon, Ascension, Void, Tathagata, Great Thousand Worlds, Other Shore, Red Lotus, Wish, Chaos..."

The Divine Armor Dao Lord hovered in mid-air, his hands parted, and twenty Saint Lord armors around him spun rapidly, as if twenty Saint Lords were attacking at once.

Countless supernatural powers burst forth at breakneck speed, sweeping across the torrents and allowing him to discern the deepest layers of Daoist principles within them in an instant.

"Too plain!!!"

Suddenly, the Divine Armor Dao Lord locked onto the one most vulnerable to being targeted within the deepest Daoist intent.

The so-called Tai Su, one of the Five Tai, was originally only a lower-level Daoist method of Hongmeng Ziqi, and should not have been able to be ranked alongside Hongmeng Ziqi.

However, it seems that Guan Luoyang went through a phase in his cultivation process where he was deeply immersed in the study of Tai Su and had not yet been able to completely transcend this influence.

Even Celestial Venerables have weaknesses; these are the weaknesses of even the most powerful Celestial Venerables.

The best way to overcome this weakness is, of course, to...

With a long roar, the Divine Armor Dao Lord's twenty Saint Lord Armor sets split into five directions, their auras suddenly changing and transforming into Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji.

"Borrowing armor to cultivate immortality, the Five Great Ones emerge together!"

The Five Great Paths, the Great Laws flowed, and those torrents that roamed freely and without restraint were immediately affected. Like giant dragons whose vital organs had been seized, they struggled but were uncontrollably swallowed into this Five Great Paths Formation, continuously roaring, crushing and suppressing.

The Five Great Methods are clearly more complete than the Way of the Primordial Simplicity.

When powerful beings of the same realm clash, the simultaneous appearance of the Five Tai will naturally create a trend that attracts Tai Su and draws it into the Five Tai, using Tai Su as a starting point to influence the entire torrent of disintegration.

The twenty Saint Lord Armorers beside the Divine Armor Dao Lord shifted and changed, faster and faster, endlessly flowing to the extreme.

"It seems the battle is over, Fellow Daoist Fengming, you..."

There was a hint of pride in Shenjia Daojun's words, but also a touch of regret.

If Guan Luoyang is only at this level, even if he escapes the karmic calculations of Xuan Niao Dao Zun, it might only be an unrepeatable miracle. In that case, what he can bring to the Immortal Spirit Clan might not be as good as expected.

However, before Shenjia Daojun could finish speaking, he noticed something amiss. The entire Five Tai Dao formation, which was operating violently, suddenly emitted a wisp of blue-green flame.

The color of this flame spun rapidly around it, as if it were the eyes of a person simultaneously positioned in every direction, staring at the Divine Armor Dao Lord.

At the center of this flame is a rainbow-like core, with colors ranging from emerald green to purple, gold, and blood red.

At the very center was a small patch of pure white, like the color of primordial chaos.

"The Great Simplicity is the beginning of substance, but it has no form yet. It has already achieved sufficient stability in terms of material substance, but it has not yet been divided into forms. It is in the most balanced state, and at the same time, it contains the vitality for future evolution. Therefore, I love the Great Simplicity the most."

As Guan Luoyang's voice rang out, Divine Armor Daoist suddenly understood.

In Guan Luoyang's Daoist teachings, the Dao of Tai Su is neither an attack, nor a defense, nor a connection; it is merely his preferred entry point for observing the Great Dao.

Shenjia Daojun wanted to restrain Taisu and drag Taisu into the Five Tai, but this was tantamount to sending the foundation of his great formation to the place where Guan Luoyang could observe most keenly.

This Five Great Formation has briefly gone out of control.

"Fellow Daoist Divine Armor!"

Guan Luoyang's figure appeared out of thin air within the formation, and he pointed a finger at the Divine Armor Daoist's brow.

"You lost!"

The loss of control over the formation is extremely brief and will soon be taken back by the Divine Armor Dao Lord, but Guan Luoyang will definitely be able to seize this opportunity.

Because Shenjia Daojun's miscalculation was itself a result of being misled.

This is the Vacuum Heavenly Demon Seal, the Dao is vast and boundless, observing the Great Simplicity!
