Chapter 122 - 112: One Hand Seizes a True Dragon, Majestic as the Heavens

Of course.

But now wasn’t the time to think about that. He had to break through to the Dao Realm first.

Wang Xiao had already gained some insight into how to break through to the Dao Realm, also known as the Eighth Limit Breaking.

He had tentatively named this Eighth Limit Breaking the "Great Daoist Nascent Soul."

Its principles were, in fact, not all that different from the Dao Realm itself.

To break through to the Dao Realm, a cultivator had to first shatter their Great Dao Golden Core and then have their Yin Spirit take up residence within the fragments.

Finally, by completely absorbing the power of the Great Dao Golden Core, the Yin Spirit would transform into a Great Daoist Nascent Soul!

And that was how one achieved Dao Entry!

The true difficulty lay in the pill-shattering step.

The Great Dao Golden Core was formed from one’s lifebound essence and contained all the information of one’s Spirit Talismans.

If one lost control while shattering the pill, or couldn’t withstand the resulting Power of Destruction, the Great Dao Golden Core would likely dissipate completely.

In the best-case scenario, one’s cultivation would be ruined. In the worst, both body and soul would be annihilated!

Previously, Zhang Lingxiao had worried about this outcome, which was why he had tried to take over Wang Xiao’s body—to make him bear the damage instead.

Now, Wang Xiao hadn’t condensed a Golden Core. Instead, he had used his Five Viscera as a foundation, infusing them with Gang Qi to form a Five Elements Cycle.

He then used the Ten Thousand Lights as a guide to achieve the Five Viscera Concealed God.

Therefore, to complete the Eighth Limit Breaking, he would have to forge a different path!

The only Limit Breaking Technique Wang Xiao could currently conceive of was to use his Five Viscera as the foundation for the Five Elements Cycle.

Then, he would place his Inner Scene Yin Spirit within the Five Elements Cycle.

Once the two were perfectly stable, he would fuse his Gang Qi into the Yin Spirit, thereby transforming it into the Great Daoist Nascent Soul!

However, Gang Qi was yang while the Yin Spirit was yin. Fusing two opposing forces was far easier said than done.

A single misstep, and his Yin Spirit would likely be instantly destroyed.

The danger was every bit as great as shattering a Golden Core, if not more so.

For now, Wang Xiao only had a rough outline of the process.

The finer details still needed to be worked out.

Therefore, he needed to draw upon the strengths of a hundred different schools and synthesize a hundred different scriptures to find a viable path for Limit Breaking.

In this world, there were thousands upon thousands of Daoist Techniques, each with its own unique strengths.

Perhaps the answer he was searching for was hidden among them.

Everything would have to wait for the Grand Celestial Sacrifice.

"Zhen... Zhenren, where are we going now?"

Seeing Wang Xiao’s grim expression and how he hadn’t spoken in a long time, Ji Chuchu couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

Wang Xiao looked at Ji Chuchu and tapped a finger on his forehead. A stream of Gang Qi coursed through the boy’s body.

He could feel a tremendous energy, hidden deep within Ji Chuchu’s bloodline, stirring restlessly.

It was a precious treasure, and if it could be unleashed...

...Ji Chuchu would surpass millions of Cultivators in a very short time.

"I am now going to pass a Cultivation Technique on to you. Memorize it well. You can ask me about anything you don’t understand."

Wang Xiao then taught Ji Chuchu his entire Body Refining Chapter and Qi Condensation Chapter.

With Ji Chuchu’s natural talent, combined with the immense energy hidden in his bloodline...

...his Cultivation would likely advance by leaps and bounds, even without external aid.

This was his fateful opportunity!

"Yes."

An excited expression appeared on Ji Chuchu’s face.

He hadn’t expected the Zhenren before him to be so generous as to pass on a Cultivation Technique just like that.

He thought he would have to pass all sorts of trials first.

After all, that’s how it always happened in the storybooks.

After passing the Cultivation Technique to Ji Chuchu, Wang Xiao didn’t meddle any further, letting the boy cultivate on his own.

As for Wang Xiao, he headed straight for the next location where a Celestial Demon was sealed.

Although one needed a Celestial Demon Bloodline to enter these sealed lands, it was still necessary to take a look.

Besides, Wang Xiao’s own physical body had been created from Celestial Demon Flesh and Blood.

It was possible his body might react to one of the sealed Celestial Demons.

In any case, the Grand Celestial Sacrifice was still several years away, so there was no need to rush back.

And so, Wang Xiao traveled through the various states, searching for the Celestial Demon Sealed Lands while continuing to instruct Ji Chuchu.

Unfortunately, in all the other states he visited, he never again encountered anyone like Ji Chuchu who possessed a Celestial Demon Bloodline.

And so, he was unable to enter any more of the Celestial Demon Sealed Lands.

What he found strange, however, was that his own physical body didn’t seem to originate from any single one of the sealed Celestial Demons.

He hadn’t reacted to any of them.

’Could it be that my flesh and blood came from the main body of the Tier Seven Life, rather than a separate piece of it? That would explain why I’m not reacting.’ Wang Xiao speculated.

He didn’t dwell on it. This journey had already resolved his greatest questions.

It had even allowed him to find a path for Limit Breaking beyond the Dao Realm.

There was no point in getting bogged down by things he couldn’t verify at the moment.

For now, the most important thing was to achieve the Eighth Limit Breaking!

While searching for the Celestial Demon Sealed Lands, Wang Xiao paid another visit to Great Yin Mountain.

Unfortunately, the Mountain God of Great Yin Mountain seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber and did not make an appearance.

He also sought out Yan Chiyang. After they caught up, Wang Xiao didn’t stay long and resumed his travels with Ji Chuchu.

He also made a point to visit the major Daoist Sects, laying the groundwork for his future path of Limit Breaking.

In the blink of an eye, five years flew by.

The time for Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Grand Celestial Sacrifice, held once every thirty years, had finally arrived.

This Grand Celestial Sacrifice was more bustling than any before.

The majority of the Sects from the Ten States had all gathered at Dragon Tiger Mountain to partake in the grand occasion.

Nearly all of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s great halls and palaces were filled to capacity.

Zhang Yunchuan and the others had truly spared no effort; they had invited far more than just a hundred Daoist Sects.

The number likely exceeded three hundred!

"Master, is this Dragon Tiger Mountain? It’s so grand!"

Ji Chuchu exclaimed in awe as he gazed at the tall, magnificent mountain gate before them.
