Chapter 1393

The Primordial Scripture contains several Great Daos, and her abilities are likewise diverse.

Xun Shuang Xianzi replied: "I cultivate the Heavenly Dao, which encompasses all Great Daos; the inheritance on your body shares the same origin as mine, so there will inevitably be a time of contention in the future."

Xiao Feng couldn't help but shake his head: "You won't reach the end like that."

Chen Jie - Chen Jie

Xiao Feng said: "The Heavenly Dao is the source of all Daos, not a solitary rule. Within the Heavenly Dao we cultivate lies a 'Dao of Ages'; someone has already ascended its peak and become a Dao Ancestor. You wish to tread a broader path, surpassing all Daos to become the Heavenly Dao… would that not require surpassing all Dao Ancestors to become the strongest?"

Chen Jie is the lord of the time rule, Da Yi is the lord of the combat rule, the Lord of Evil is the lord of the slaughter rule… perhaps the rules of these cosmic strongest beings also lie within the Heavenly Dao.

If one wishes to cultivate the Heavenly Dao to its utmost height, would not all Dao Ancestors have to yield the way for her?

If such a thing were to happen, she would likely be wiped out by the Dao Ancestors before she even began her final assault.

"The Heavenly Dao is supreme… the Primordial Scripture says, the Lord of All Things is the Heavenly Dao; above and below, in all directions, past, present, and future, all lie within the Heavenly Dao. Since the ancient sages could reach this point and establish the order of the Heavenly Dao, later generations can surely do the same." Xun Shuang Xianzi was unaffected by his words, still full of confidence.

Xiao Feng weakly asked: "But… what if the previous ruler of the Heavenly Dao is still alive?"

Time Dao - Time Dao

He immediately shook his head: "Impossible; the Primordial Continent has already been destroyed, the ancient heavenly realms are shattered. If the lord of the Heavenly Dao were still alive, would he allow the entire great world to fall apart into the present myriad realms?"

Xiao Feng pondered, then said: "I think the Heavenly Dao is merely an outline catalog of the three thousand Great Daos, not a solitary path. We need not master them all; learning just one or two already makes us very strong."

Primordial Continent - Primordial Continent

If one insists on learning them all, mastering the five systems would require five times the effort, possibly backfiring, resulting in mastering none.

"The outline of the Three Thousand Great Dao..."

Xun Shuang Xianzi furrowed her brows in thought, even forgetting to withstand the void's chaotic currents.

She murmured: "But my master clearly told me that only by mastering the Heavenly Dao can one glimpse the truth of heaven and earth, transcend time and space, and become a true powerhouse."

"Who is your master?" Xiao Feng asked curiously.

"He is... a Dao Ancestor, and I don't even know his name; only the eldest senior sister knows." Xun Shuang Xianzi replied.

"Dao Ancestor?"

Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised, yet it also felt natural.

The outside rumors are true; the old ancestor of Yunchu Shan is indeed a supreme existence.

But for such an existence, why would he not reveal his name to his disciples, especially to a direct disciple like Xun Shuang Xianzi?

A Dao Ancestor symbolizes invincibility; there's absolutely no need to fear anything!

"What did he say when he transmitted the Primordial Scripture to you?" Xiao Feng asked.

Xun Shuang Xianzi replied: "Back then I was young, but I dare not forget a single word of my master's teachings. He said: 'This scripture is the general outline of the cosmic Great Dao; upon mastering it, one can transcend time and space and become the lord of the universe. I hope you cultivate diligently, and one day surpass me.'"

These words...

Xiao Feng slightly furrowed his brows: "This sounds like your master hasn't fully mastered the Primordial Scripture himself, right?"

Xun Shuang Xianzi said: "I don't know; my master only appeared when I was eight, and for the past three thousand years, it's been the eldest senior sister teaching me."

Xiao Feng grew even more puzzled.

There must be something wrong here!

He could almost be certain that Xun Shuang Xianzi's master had not cultivated the Primordial Scripture!

To give a disciple a technique that even the master hasn't mastered—what is the reason?

Is it because the master has achieved his own Great Dao and cannot learn it, so he bestows it upon the disciple?

That possibility exists.

But it feels like it shouldn't be that simple!

Xun Shuang Xianzi fell into a mystery.

However, she didn't dwell on it for long.

Her clear soul wouldn't allow her to be troubled by such issues, and she quickly regained calm.

She said to Xiao Feng: "Your Ninefold Heavenly Dao does not contain the cultivation method for primordial divine power; where do those special elemental forces in your body come from?"

What she referred to was obviously source-attribute divine power.

Xiao Feng replied: "Obtained as a gift from the Heavens Tower, a divine tome titled the Origin Book."

Origin Book, Primordial Scripture...

Both fell into contemplation.

Could it be that these two are somehow connected?

Their powers share the same essential nature; after releasing a technique, they change according to different Great Dao rules, forming attributes like yin-yang, water-fire, etc.

Yet their mutual sensing is never mistaken; they truly stem from the same source!

However, compared to that, the Primordial Scripture contains far more: not only the cultivation method for primordial divine power, but also multiple Great Dao guides.

The Origin Book is much simpler, merely teaching how to cultivate quickly, how to obtain source-attribute divine power, and how to transmute it into myriad-attribute power.

It looks like she's the high-end version and he's the low-end version.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, uncertainly saying: "You say, could it be... that what we cultivate is actually the same technique?"

"This..."

Xun Shuang Xianzi neither affirmed nor denied.

Xiao Feng proposed: "After we leave this void world, let's find a place to mutually verify each other's cultivation; I'll look at your cultivation process, you'll look at mine, and perhaps then we'll understand."

As soon as he said that, Xun Shuang Xianzi immediately fell silent.

After a moment, she said: "You want to mutually verify cultivation? This... is too intimate."

"Intimate?"

"I'm just saying that during cultivation, allowing the other to observe... that's not intimate, right? Or do you not wear clothes when you cultivate... ahem." He asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't spout nonsense!" Xun Shuang Xianzi immediately rebuked him, then explained: "Only between master and disciple, or between sworn siblings as close as limbs, will one let the other fully know their foundation. You and I are fated enemies; letting you see my cultivation would be seeking death."

Xiao Feng was both amused and exasperated.

So the "intimacy" she meant was this.

"Just observing the cultivation process isn't fully exposing weaknesses; it's no big deal. Besides, stop always saying we're arch-enemies; what if we're not? If the Original Scripture and the Origin Book are actually the same cultivation method, then you'd be my senior sister." Xiao Feng said.

Xun Shuang Xianzi gave it serious thought.

After a while, she replied: "... Then let's give it a try."

Regarding the similarities and differences in their cultivation methods, she was also very curious.

What she was even more curious about was whether Xiao Feng's earlier mention of the "Three Thousand Dao Outline" was correct.

If this path truly leads nowhere, then future cultivation will have to change direction.

However...

In her view, Xiao Feng was just a junior, and what he said was likely wrong. Her master, a mighty expert of the Dao Ancestor realm, would hardly lie to deceive an eight-year-old girl like her.

In the future, if there's a chance, I must prove all this and make him realize his mistake!
