Chapter 223: The Path of Proving the Dao: Using My Power to Mend the Heavens

The Cai Family Great Saint already had a considerable amount of insight into living a second life, yet it still could not compare to God King Jiang Taixu, who was at the Saint King Realm on the other side.

Listening to Zhang Xuan explain some of the essential points of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, and then observing the process of that Humanoid Undying Divine Medicine transitioning from death to life, God King Jiang Taixu directly fell into a state of enlightenment.

God King Jiang Taixu himself had struggled for quite a long time between the states of life and death, so his insight into life and death was the most clear and precise.

The four thousand years of tempering within Purple Mountain was an extremely painful process, but it was also a massive fortune.

This allowed God King Jiang Taixu to accumulate a very powerful and unique foundation.

Following the normal rhythm, without interference from others, God King Jiang Taixu would have given all the Origin of his life to Ye Fan, continuing that path for Ye Fan.

Then, he would have severed all his own Origin to live a second life.

But now, through Zhang Xuan's changes, the God King's life force remained vigorous.

Moreover, with the help of the six-turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, he had broken through to the Saint King level.

His life force was even younger, his state was better, and he had not been forced to the point of having to sever all his Origin to live a second life.

However, the God King still possessed the accumulation regarding this part, and now, seeing such a situation combined with Zhang Xuan's partial Daoist teachings, he directly fell into enlightenment.

When the God King woke from his enlightenment and opened his eyes, his gaze was bright and piercing, containing a very unique radiance.

Beside him, Old Madman and Wei Yi both nodded toward him, and the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid beside them had already been refined to the fifth turn.

"How long have I been in seclusion?"

"About half a month; it is not too long."

Zhang Xuan responded softly.

Regarding this change in the God King, he felt it was quite reasonable.

And when God King Jiang Taixu saw Zhang Xuan, he could not help but be stunned once more.

Because at this very moment, Zhang Xuan was already standing at the fourth heaven of the Saint Realm, and was in a peak state at that.

"Your cultivation?"

"I broke through while you were in seclusion. After all, sitting and discussing the Dao with several figures who have cultivated for thousands of years can yield many gains, and then I simply swallowed a wisp of a Great Saint's Origin to skip the energy accumulation for this realm; all that was lacking was the insight."

Even someone as forceful and domineering as the Old Madman of the Heavenly Jade Holy Land felt his facial muscles twitch upon hearing these words.

But he had nothing to say.

Not long after he brought Wei Yi to this place, he was pulled in to refine the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, and none of them hid their intentions—the goal was to have him and Wei Yi use the eight-turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid to break through to Great Saint, so as to cope with the impending catastrophe.

This alone left both him and Wei Yi speechless; this group of figures was simply fierce beyond measure.

There was even a terrifying figure who had reached the peak of the Great Saint realm helping them refine it together.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan's discussion of the Dao did not exclude them.

Zhang Xuan did not overly conceal things, explaining and providing pointers on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, the Jie Secret, the Xing Secret, and the Bing Secret that he had obtained.

He even shared the essential points of the Demon Emperor Scripture and the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, and the parts annotated by Qingdi left the several figures present listening in a state of intoxication.

The Nine Secrets and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist, the most supreme in the world, which he explained, also left them filled with admiration.

After the God King sobered up, he immediately joined this discussion of the Dao.

They did not hide much about themselves; apart from being restricted by oaths within their families, which prevented them from directly reciting the Great Emperor Scriptures they practiced or the supreme scriptures passed down within their Holy Lands, they had already explained the main essence clearly.

It was mainly because Zhang Xuan was too generous, speaking of supreme things like Great Emperor Scriptures and the Nine Secrets as if they were worthless.

Anyone who heard this would be moved in their heart.

And after hearing Zhang Xuan's ideals, they were even more impressed to the point of prostration.

In such an era, to suppress the Dark Turmoil and quell the most terrifying catastrophe in history.

Not only was the ideal very great, but it was also implemented in action: Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, Great Emperor Scriptures, Nine Secrets...

If a person only spoke about it verbally, no one would pay much attention, as many people have great ideals.

But for a figure like Zhang Xuan who practiced what he preached and had achieved such great results, Jiang Taixu, the Cai Family Great Saint, and the Old Madman were all shaken.

This made them admire him immensely and willing to cooperate with Zhang Xuan.

And as Zhang Xuan listened to these figures explain their cultivation insights from thousands of years, he also felt very at ease and refreshed in his heart.

In the eyes of these few people, he was a powerful old monster reincarnated through Nirvana, possessing a considerable amount of cultivation experience, lacking nothing.

In the eyes of the Cai Family Great Saint, Jiang Taixu, and the others, this preaching was Zhang Xuan deliberately giving them pointers, allowing their cultivation and strength to break through and gain insights.

After all, Zhang Xuan was a top-tier figure, and the Strongest Bloodline Evolution Fluid, Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, Nine Secrets, and Great Emperor Scriptures were all extremely special and useful.

Furthermore, the Great Emperor Scripture was explained from the perspective of a Great Emperor, which was earth-shattering.

Zhang Xuan rarely shared his own understandings and insights, mainly because he was currently only at the Saint Realm, and his understandings and insights might be slightly behind for these few.

He mostly used the scriptures explained by Qingdi to describe things, and this step, in the eyes of God King Jiang Taixu, the Cai Family Great Saint, and others, indicated that Zhang Xuan was deliberately giving them pointers.

They indeed felt they had received pointers; although the profound meanings of the scriptures explained by Qingdi differed from the scriptures they practiced, looking at problems and explaining scriptures from that level—

This mode of thinking and realm alone was enough for them to have deep realizations.

Every single person gained much and was deeply touched.

Therefore, they truly spared no effort in their explanations; apart from Jiang Taixu, who was restricted by his family's requirements and could not explain the Great Emperor Scripture thoroughly, the others basically explained their cultivation experiences and insights from all these years clearly.

Zhang Xuan listened to each one, listening very earnestly.

Once in the Saint Realm, basically everyone would create their own path; some of these paths could lead to Great Emperor, some could lead to Great Saint, and some could only stay at the Saint level.

But regardless of the level of these realms, they were all very useful to Zhang Xuan.

Not to mention that Zhang Xuan knew the future of the several figures present very well.

Jiang Taixu truly walked his own path and dared to participate in that terrifying catastrophe of suppressing the Dark Turmoil.

Later, after being resurrected by Ye Fan with supreme great magic power, he basically walked the path to Great Emperor smoothly.

The Old Madman was the same; he cultivated all the way to Alternative Enlightenment, and then after Ye Fan suppressed the ten thousand Daos alone, he attained enlightenment and became an Emperor, together breaking into the Immortal Land.

The Cai Family Great Saint died through Nirvana after living for over eight thousand years at the peak of the Great Saint realm, and Wei Yi also lived for over eight thousand years before passing away.

So, the many figures present would at worst be at the peak of the Great Saint realm in the future, and several could even cultivate to the Great Emperor realm.

Every one of their insights and states was of great reference value to Zhang Xuan.

To thank Zhang Xuan for such an act of pouring out his knowledge to help them, they also did their utmost to explain their own paths clearly, directly manifesting the essence within the Heavenly Dao of the world.

The Dao that each person cultivated was different; after all, in the Zhetian World, the laws by which any Ancient Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor attained the Dao and became an Emperor were all different, and there were no two identical Great Emperors.

They were not afraid of their own paths being seen or learned by others.

Each of them had strong confidence in their own path, and Zhang Xuan watched with great absorption, keeping every Dao and rule in his heart, and even imprinting them using the Chat Group.

Others might not be able to walk the same path, but Zhang Xuan was different.

Another one of Zhang Xuan's fundamental techniques was the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Art could imitate any technique under heaven; it could be said to encompass all things.

If cultivating the Dao, one could become a Taiji Dao Body; if one wanted to cultivate as a Buddha, one could also cultivate the Zhunti Golden Body.

Even for the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art, if there was sufficiently powerful essence blood as a guide, it could evolve all things in heaven and earth, including the Seventy-Two Transformations.

And after Zhang Xuan clearly understood the most perfect rules and laws of the figures present, he also asked each of them for a drop of essence blood.

Although the figures present were very puzzled, they all gave it.

They did not believe that Zhang Xuan would harm them in this regard.

And Zhang Xuan only borrowed their essence blood to mix with the Heavenly Dao they displayed, imprinting it all into his body.

In the future, if he used the Seventy-Two Transformations to change, he could easily transform into every figure present.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao that everyone present realized was not only remembered by him, but also seen and remembered by the Nine-Orifice Stone Man; these rules of the Heavenly Dao could all be enlightened and absorbed by Zhang Xuan.

This could help Zhang Xuan walk a Heavenly Dao to the greatest extent, making up for the regrets and shortcomings of Zhang Xuan's rapid breakthroughs.

"Ye Fan walks the path of 'furnace-nourishing hundreds of scriptures,' and then walks out a path of his own. My path is somewhat similar to Ye Fan's, but also different."

After continuously listening to the Dao of the four figures present, Zhang Xuan had new insights in his heart, making him more certain of the path he wanted to take.

"Using the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and the Heavenly Dao explained by the Heavenly Venerable as the rules and direction, while also combining part of the paths and directions of the Great Emperors in the Zhetian World, I can grasp a Heavenly Dao in this world, and then defy the heavens to attain the Dao.

"But the Dao I want to attain is not like a Great Emperor, suppressing ten thousand Daos with one Dao, but rather occupying a rule of heaven and earth, becoming the controller of this rule of heaven and earth, becoming someone similar to the Other Shore beings in the Yishi Zhi Zun World.

"After I attain the Dao in this world, I will not bring incomparable pressure to this world, but will instead further repair the rules of this world, making the heaven and earth and the world more solid.

"What I want to become is the top-tier authority in the Zhetian World, achieving operations similar to what the great figures in the Yishi Zhi Zun World can achieve, similar to a World Lord.

"But not a World Lord who suppresses the world by personal strength, but a figure who can control the entire Universe, allowing the power of the entire Universe to be mobilized by me."

At this moment, Zhang Xuan had an epiphany in his heart.

"At such a moment, after I attain the Dao and become an Emperor, I can control the Heavenly Dao of this world, becoming a similar Heavenly Dao Controller, which can allow this world to accommodate multiple Ancient Great Emperors in the same era; this is another unique path.

"If one wants to make the world submit, one can use one's own strength like Ye Fan, with incomparable power to suppress the entire Universe, or one can be like me, in a sense making the entire Universe sincerely submit to me, and then listen to my orders."

At this moment, Zhang Xuan's body and mind were clear, and his entire state and posture had improved.

His realm in the Zhetian World had not changed, but the realm belonging to the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art had naturally leaped up by one level.

He had gone a long way in the Dharma Body realm, and his primordial spirit, which originally flashed with golden light throughout, had more subtle changes.

In some areas, layers of cocoons had formed, as if giving birth to a Divine Fetus; this was the supreme divine art passed down from the Tianxuan Holy Land, the Dao that the Old Madman himself cultivated.

But the cocoon also contained unique vitality and vigor; it was God King Jiang Taixu's insight and cultivation regarding living a second life, and inside there was also a raging, never-extinguishing flame, like a phoenix spreading its wings and flying high; that was the experience and essence of Jiang Taixu's cultivation of the Hengyu Scripture...

The insights of several top figures regarding the Heavenly Dao all condensed relevant special substances in Zhang Xuan's primordial spirit; these were a kind of rule incarnation formed by the rules of heaven and earth under the blessing of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.

This was part of the path of the Yishi Zhi Zun World.

"Looking at it from here, it is a bit like the path taken by the Ruthless Great Emperor in the Swallowing Heaven Demon Palace, but the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art of the Ruthless Great Emperor is to absorb the many origins of heaven and earth, and then perfect oneself.

"I, on the other hand, absorb the many scriptures and rules between heaven and earth, condensing the mysteries of rules and laws to perfect the entire world; of course, in this process, I am also perfecting myself."

Zhang Xuan's body and mind were clear, feeling that his state was incomparably special and profound, and the four figures present also felt they had gained a lot.

Zhang Xuan truly did not treat them as family; whether it was the Demon Emperor Scripture, the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, or the Nine Secrets, he explained them without reservation.

After listening, they were all a bit ashamed now, feeling that what they had given was too little.

And Zhang Xuan, having returned from his meditation, saw the slightly guilty looks of the many figures present, his heart stirred, and then he smiled secretly.

This wave was truly gaining an advantage while still acting innocent, and everyone present really had to thank him.

It could only be said that possessing the advantages of several worlds was something others simply did not understand and could not comprehend.

"My vision and pattern are very large, with long-term foresight, far beyond your imagination."

At this moment, the Cai Family Great Saint, who had been sitting in a high position, suddenly said: "The Divine Substance has been extracted almost enough; the Eight-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid can be truly used after another period of polishing."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan was stunned.

After a slight realization, he came back to his senses; it had already been four months.

Refining the Eight-Turn Strongest Bloodline Evolution Liquid, with sufficient materials, and three Saint Kings, one peak Great Saint, and one Saint, the speed should have been faster.

But because the discussion sometimes fell into meditation, it was delayed, taking a bit more time.

But now, everything was complete.
