Chapter 1176

Northern Plain.

Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting, Black Demon Palace.

A young man in green robes on a Liu Dao Wang Zuo opened his eyes.

His gaze was sharply divided between black and white, deep as the night sky yet untouched by age, still holding innocent curiosity toward the Immortal Dao.

"Not bad."

"At least my broken house didn't collapse—I won't have to spend my first moments wandering the wilderness."

Jiang Ding slowly rose from the Liu Dao Wang Zuo and sighed faintly: "I wonder how many people I still know out there, how many familiar faces remain."

He did nothing else, but turned to face the six swirling vortices floating atop the Liu Dao Wang Zuo.

This Liu Dao Wang Zuo was left behind by the Liu Dao Sect's founder, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun; the six vortices were the six transmissions: the Deva Path, the Asura Path, the Human Path, the Animal Path, the Hungry Ghost Path, and the Hell Path—among the strongest indigenous transmissions of the Northern Plain, which gave rise to countless mighty Northern Plain factions.

After Jiang Ding acquired the Black Demon Palace, this Liu Dao Wang Zuo also came into his possession.

Yet he had merely skimmed through it briefly to broaden his knowledge, then dismissed it—he took no real interest, for the Liu Dao Sect founder's transmissions were crude in their exploration of the Immortal Dao, deemed by him at the time as "too arrogant, falsely calling themselves the Six Paths," and so he renamed the Six Path Rebirth Palace the Black Demon Palace.

Now, after ascending to Hua Shen Qi, he looked again—and it was still the same, hiding no hidden fortune.

Since stepping onto the cultivation path, he had never encountered any fortune; by instinct, he avoided such opportunities and risks, never seeking them out.

He only retrieved his own lost items after careful evaluation.

The Liu Dao Sect transmission was indeed crude.

Even the transmissions he casually created now far surpassed the Liu Dao Sect's, allowing him to effortlessly establish factions far greater than the Liu Dao Sect.

Yet…

"Six paths… Six Path Rebirth…"

"Did I overlook something crucial in the past?"

Jiang Ding murmured to himself: "Six Paths Rebirth—perhaps it is not merely a myth, a later embellishment added to lend mystery and fear to one's sect lineage, but a widely circulated technique structure?"

"In the distant past, perhaps some earth-shattering great being discovered the Six Path Rebirth structure and used it to accomplish great deeds; this Immortal Dao technique then spread rapidly, permeating all human lineages."

"Because it simply worked—the same amount of Qi, channeled through this structure, produced far greater power."

"I now feel something similar…"

Jiang Ding's mind surfaced countless gong fa and spell details related to Six Path Rebirth—277,000 texts involved, their relevance varying from strong to weak.

This was the Immortal Dao knowledge reserve of a cultivator who had continuously read texts for over a thousand years!

"Six paths?"

Jiang Ding raised his hand; a thread of sword qi appeared at his fingertip.

The Order of Destruction, the Order of Spell Suppression, the Order of Law Annihilation, the Order of Distortion, the Order of Electromagnetism, and the Order of Sword Dao swirled within this thread, arising and perishing in endless cycles.

Though the total Qi contained in this thread was minuscule—less than the full Qi of a single Jin Dan cultivator—it could still effortlessly pierce and kill a Hua Shen Qi cultivator.

Even though the total spiritual energy contained in this wisp of sword qi is so weak, less than the total spiritual energy of a single Jin Dan cultivator, it can still easily pierce and kill a Hua Shen Qi cultivator.

Jiang Ding had clearly confirmed something.

"Sword Dao, reigning supreme above the Nine Heavens, governing all things—perhaps it is the Deva Path!"

"The Order of Destruction, madly annihilating all—even oneself in the end—mirrors the frenzy of the Hungry Ghost Path;"

"The Order of Spell Suppression, like a prison, binding all sentient beings, preventing transcendence, rigidly ordered—perhaps it is the Hell Path;"

"The Order of Electromagnetism, the key to human civilization's entry into the electrical age—perhaps it is the Human Path;"

"The Order of Distortion, genetic mutations of life, a form of solar radiation; the myriad forms of life—flying, terrestrial, aquatic, insects, animals, plants—this world's dazzling diversity stems from distortion, perhaps it is the Animal Path;"

"The Order of Law Annihilation, combat and destruction, breaking spells and enemies, always sharp and invincible—resembles the Asura Path… is this too forced?"

"The order of Dharma-annihilation, combat and slaughter, breaking laws and enemies, has always been sharp and invincible, similar to the Asura Path... is this not too far-fetched?"

But it didn't matter.

Whether the myths aligned was not the point; the key was the application of the "Six Path Rebirth" technique structure—if the Six Orders could be reorganized this way, properly, perhaps breakthrough was possible.

The thread of sword qi between Jiang Ding's fingers suddenly changed; the Six Orders within it shifted constantly—sometimes azure, sometimes glowing with Jin Chong Guang, sometimes hazy… the transformations were violent.

The wisp of sword qi between Jiang Ding's fingers suddenly changed; the six orders contained within constantly shifted, sometimes deep blue, sometimes flashing with Jin Chong Guang, sometimes hazy... the changes were extremely violent.

The point trembled violently; space expanded, and a catastrophic explosion capable of obliterating an entire city was about to erupt.

The light points trembled continuously, the space expanded, and a terrible explosion capable of easily destroying a city was about to occur.

The expected explosion that would have destroyed the entire Black Demon Palace never came—it was crushed between two fingers.

The explosion expected to destroy the entire Black Demon Palace did not happen; it was extinguished by two fingers.

"The Six Orders clashed violently during the restructuring of the Six Path Rebirth, collapsing halfway; the sword qi's power plummeted, all energy wasted in internal conflict—now it's only equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator's strike."

"The conflict among the six orders during the reconstruction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was severe; it collapsed halfway through, causing the sword qi's power to decrease drastically as they exhausted each other internally, amounting to roughly only a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Yet through this experiment, he confirmed the immense potential of the Six Path Rebirth technique structure—it was astonishingly inclusive, compatible beyond measure; ordinary things contained unimaginable wisdom.

However, through this experiment, he confirmed the immense potential of the Six Paths of Reincarnation spell structure; it is simply all-encompassing of heaven, earth, and all things, with far too high compatibility, where ordinary things contain unimaginable wisdom.

If his Six Orders could form the Six Path Rebirth structure, perhaps he could achieve order comparable to cosmic rules—gaining true survival potential within the Profound Void!

The existence of the Six Path Rebirth gong fa structure, and the widespread human myth of Six Path Rebirth…

This could not be coincidence!

This was the foundation of the Infinite Star Realm's dominant race.

When weak, they were truly weak; when strong, they were truly formidable—every myth contained terrifying transmissions; this was heritage, vastly different from newborn clans like the Jiao Demon Emperor Clan.

Of course, all this assumed you had the ability to comprehend it.

Without that ability, even as a member of the Infinite Star Realm's dominant race, you were useless—die when you must, be bullied when you must.

No human cultivator would care about the death of an unfamiliar clansman; no emotional ripple would occur; the so-called dignity of a dominant race simply did not exist.

Without this ability, even as a member of the hegemon race of the endless starry sky, one is useless—die when one should die, be bullied when one should be bullied.

No powerful human cultivator would care about the death of an unknown clansman, nor feel any emotional ripple; the so-called dignity of a hegemon race is simply something that does not exist.

This race is not one of benevolence, tolerance, or good reputation.

If you are weak, it is best to die silently and without a trace; do not expect help or support from the strong of your own kind.

"The Six Realms Structure!"

"The inheritance of the dominant race of the endless starry sky..."

Desire gleamed in Jiang Ding's eyes: "Perhaps I should emulate the establishment of ethnomedicine by founding a Mythology Research School, to study the myths and legends, customs, and habits that are widespread throughout human civilization and not confined to a single narrow region, exploring the possibility of dominant inheritances within them."

"If gains can be made from this, it will surely propel the Immortal Dao Science of the Immortal Gate forward by a great leap!"
