Chapter 201: The First of the Three Thousand Great Dao!

Where there is a Dongxuan Token in this world, there is also a Dongxuan Mansion.

As Fang Yu now stood before the Dongxuan Mansion, the Dongxuan Token in his hand began to warm subtly, emitting a mysterious aura that merged with the Mansion, causing it to undergo subtle changes.

Light swirled, and the mansion revealed a peculiar radiance; layers of sealing arrays appeared in the void, then slowly faded away.

If anyone else without the token had entered here, they would surely die without even a grave to bury them.

"Am I about to receive the inheritance of this mansion?"

Fang Yu's emotions stirred slightly.

He knew that as the former leader among the Thousand Great Worlds, the Xuan Huang Great World held countless mansions, but these mansions were hidden within specific spacetimes, protected by arrays; to obtain one required great fortune and extraordinary luck.

Fang Yu's luck had never been good—he had wandered for many days along the Long Yuan River in Long Yuan Province and never once encountered a stroke of fortune, but this time, fortune truly seemed to have descended upon him.

Of course, no one knew what would happen once he stepped inside the mansion.

Perhaps inside waited a dying ancient monster ready to possess his body.

A mansion, a chance—it could be fortune, or it could be disaster.

Yet Fang Yu did not hesitate long; he stepped into the Dongxuan Mansion.

He was enclosed within the Five Hell King Cauldron, which triggered no arrays or seals—he did not vanish silently into ash, but walked safely into the mansion.

His spiritual sense flowed forward, and he saw that the mansion was not large; at the front stood a statue, aged and weathered.

The statue depicted a young Daoist, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, clearly a formidable expert.

Before the statue lay a jade tablet, glowing with shifting light.

Beside the jade tablet rested a suit of armor, studded with bone-like spines; though time had passed, its surface still gleamed brightly.

At a glance, Fang Yu sensed the armor was immensely powerful—at least at the Treasure-Class level.

Yes, at least Treasure-Class armor.

As his spiritual sense flowed over the armor, he felt a dense aura of arrays; he did not know the material, but both the material and the arrays radiated immense power.

A top-tier treasure-grade armor!

This thought rose in Fang Yu's heart.

He did not move hastily; instead, his Azure Flame Daoist Gang Qi flowed gently into the jade tablet, whereupon the tablet emitted a soft glow, revealing its inscriptions.

"I am the Dongxuan Daoist, founder of the Dongxuan Dao Sect. I was on the verge of breaking through to the Chaos Void Realm, but the Divine Clan invaded the Xuan Huang Great World; my Dongxuan Dao Sect was utterly destroyed. Now I am mortally wounded and will soon perish, leaving behind a fragment of my legacy—may the one who inherits it carry on my will and slay the Divine Clan."

Many images appeared in the void, depicting the life of the Dongxuan Daoist.

The Dongxuan Daoist's cultivation base had reached the 7th Stage of Immortality—the World Sovereign Realm—just one step away from the 8th Stage, Chaos Void Realm; but tens of thousands of years ago, the Divine Clan invaded the Xuan Huang Great World, plunging it into darkness, and countless experts perished.

Even the Dongxuan Daoist, a 7th Stage Immortal capable of creating worlds, was gravely wounded in that battle, his origin core damaged.

Before dying, he left behind his legacy, hoping a destined one would receive it and rise.

And now, Fang Yu was that destined one, standing before his mansion.

Yet the Daoist's legacy was not extensive—his battle had been too fierce; the armor he had meticulously forged, the Dongxuan Spirit Armor, had been downgraded in that war and was now merely Supreme Treasure-Class.

As for elixirs and such, there were none.

The Daoist had once possessed many elixirs—Nascent Soul Elixir, Pure Yang Elixir, and various holy healing medicines—but the battle had been too brutal; nearly all elixirs were consumed, used to activate Dao Artifacts, or ingested to heal and restore his injuries.

Within this mansion, not a single Nascent Soul Elixir remained, not even a single White Yang Elixir.

Yet one jade tablet remained, containing his cultivation insights and the Divine Abilities he had practiced over the ages.

As Fang Yu's spiritual sense flowed over it, he saw that the ancient Daoist had mastered countless Divine Abilities—and one of them was the Three Thousand Great Dao.

The Three Thousand Great Dao: Great Cutting Technique.

Upon seeing this Great Dao Divine Ability, Fang Yu's face lit up with joy.

In the Eternal Life Great World, Great Dao Divine Abilities are divided into ordinary Divine Abilities, Great Divine Abilities, Supreme Divine Abilities, and the Three Thousand Great Dao.

The Azure Flame Seven Refinement Rays he cultivated was a Great Divine Ability; the next tier below it is the ordinary Divine Ability.

For example, Yuhua Sect's other Great Divine Ability, the Great Wood Law, has a branch called the Spring Wind Wood Spirit Technique—a mere ordinary Divine Ability.

The magic power generated by such ordinary Divine Abilities is unremarkable; when pitted against magic power from a Great Divine Ability, even a single thread can defeat several threads of ordinary Divine Ability magic power.

Thus, in the Dao Cultivation World, Divine Abilities are highly valued; everyone seeks powerful Great Divine Abilities or Supreme Divine Abilities, yet such Supreme Divine Abilities cannot be obtained merely by desire.

Every Supreme Divine Ability, if discovered, causes rivers of blood and countless deaths.

Yuhua Sect possesses Supreme Divine Abilities—for instance, its Supreme Fire Divine Ability, the True Heaven Flame, is incomparably stronger than the Azure Flame Seven Refinement Rays; likewise, its Supreme Metal Divine Ability, the Instant Kill Technique, is many times more potent than the Great Free-and-Easy Mysterious Metal Sword Qi.

But the sect Elders do not casually bestow Supreme Divine Abilities; only those who have achieved great merit or reached the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, Golden Core Realm, are granted them.

Above Supreme Divine Abilities lie the Three Thousand Great Dao, whose power is even more terrifying.

Each of the Three Thousand Great Dao is exceedingly difficult to cultivate, but once mastered, its power can instantly slay cultivators of the same level who practice Supreme Divine Abilities.

Yuhua Sect possesses only one Three Thousand Great Dao—the Great Yin-Yang Technique—but even this is incomplete, merely a fragmented version.

Yitaiyi Sect, however, possesses the complete Three Thousand Great Dao: the Great Calamity Technique, which cultivates Calamity Qi, effectively controlling heavenly tribulation; thus, Yitaiyi Sect disciples are all arrogant, seeking to establish a Merit System.

Because their cultivation method, the Great Calamity Technique, allows them to control the Three Calamities and Nine Trials of cultivators—they can summon tribulations at the slightest provocation.

And now, Fang Yu has obtained one Great Dao.

Great Cutting Technique!
