Chapter 969

Yan Buji sat cross-legged in a temporarily opened cave dwelling, his fingertips lightly rubbing the storage bag given by Gu Na Xie. The bag's mouth was embroidered with intricate cloud patterns, faintly flowing with spiritual power; the interior space was a hundred times larger than its outward appearance.

Ancient Acceptance of Evil

Profound Chapter of the Dao Strategy

On the left were nine ancient stone carvings, each emanating an awe-inspiring Martial Dao will; on the right were stacked dozens of jade slips, categorized and labeled with Cosmic Dao, Way of the Universe, Fortune Dao, etc.; at the very center floated a scroll of bamboo slips glowing with golden light—this was chapter three of The Mysterious Chapters of the Dao Strategy!

Yan Buji did not hastily take it out; instead, he first carefully observed it with the Dharma‑Breaking Eye. Only after confirming there were no hidden seals or traps did he gently retrieve the bamboo slips.

As the bamboo scroll unfurled, golden light blazed forth. Countless arcane characters flew out like living things, forming dynamic pictures in the air. Even more remarkably, these characters were projected directly onto his divine sense, allowing him to grasp their true meaning without any need for interpretation.

"Space is like cloth, with countless folds. Ordinary teleportation is merely jumping from one spot on the cloth to another; but a true master of the Cosmic Dao can walk freely along the warp and weft of the cloth......"

From Extreme Adversity to Prosperity

Way of Space

Way of Universe

Law of the Way of the Universe

This is not teleportation, but rather temporarily merging oneself into the fabric of space and then "flowing" out from within.

Great Dao Law

This method of movement not only consumes less energy, but also leaves hardly any trace, making it extremely difficult to track—unless the opponent's mastery of the Cosmic Dao surpasses one's own.

Great Dao Realm

Hearing Dao Realm

Five Elements Way

Martial Dao

Extreme Desire Path

He Dao Realm

Way of Desire

This requires leaving a permanent spatial coordinate somewhere, allowing instant return no matter the distance. Yan Buji spent three full days to initially master it, successfully setting the first anchor point in a corner of his cave dwelling.

Although it can only last for one month, as his cultivation improves, the duration will become longer and longer.

"This is somewhat similar to the Heaven Gate Law, but the Heaven Gate Law can only shuttle between fixed spatial nodes, whereas this spatial anchoring is equivalent to.... creating one's own spatial node!"

Yan Buji narrowed his eyes, trying to activate the Heaven Gate Law for a round trip after moving away from the anchor point he had left behind, and indeed he returned to the original place!

"In that case, we can actually break down this divine ability and integrate it into the Heaven Gate Law."

Yan Buji pondered, saying, although he currently does not need cultivation methods to increase his strength, but now there is a better way, why not choose it?

In the following time, Yan Buji, while dissecting and merging the anchoring divine ability with the Heaven Gate Five Elements Law, also gained insight into the subtle details of the Way of the Universe from its side branches.

Chapter Four of the Dao Strategy Profound Chapter seems only able to take a cultivator's Great Dao realm from nothing into existence, stopping abruptly upon reaching the Wen Dao realm.

Yan Buji's Desire Dao and Way of the Universe have both surpassed the Wen Dao realm; this is the result of his many years of cultivation.

But the Way of the Universe, Five Elements Dao, Luck Dao, and even the Martial Dao realm were all forcibly raised to the Wen Dao realm through the Dao Strategy Profound Chapter!

A vast amount of insight entered his mind; Yan Buji cultivated within the boundless sea trench, paying no heed to anything else, steadily enhancing his strength!

Moreover, Yan Buji even found time to successfully cultivate the Divine Ability of Heavenly Gang's Upright No-Shadow, and combined it with concealment techniques such as the Li Mo Transfer Breath Method, enhancing his ability to act covertly.

As for what comes next, it is the cultivation of the Way of the Universe divine ability and the Luck Dao divine ability.

The breakthrough in the Way of the Universe realm allowed Yan Buji to easily learn a divine ability called "Instant". By exercising the Law of the Way of the Universe, he can increase or decrease the flow of time within a one-meter radius around himself by tenfold; although this is not of great use to him, it can considerably increase his reaction time.

After all, upon reaching the He Dao Realm, you never know what tricks those old monsters might have.

Even affecting an area of millions of li is probably just ordinary; what if there is some instant-arrival killing technique?

At least this Way of the Universe divine ability can help him gain a bit of reaction opportunity.

Next comes the cultivation of the Luck Dao divine ability.

The Luck Dao divine ability Yan Buji currently masters is only the Secret Technique of Cooking Oil in Fiery Fire, which can predict crises.

Luck Dao has always been the most mysterious and unfathomable field.

Yan Buji first started practicing from the simplest "auspicious and ominous sensation".

Close his mortal eyes and use his divine sense to touch the illusory "fortune line".

Soon he discovered that every person and every object is connected by countless tiny threads; these threads intertwine to form a net, which is what is called "fate".

"Extreme adversity leads to prosperity?"

Yan Buji narrowed his eyes, interpreting this divine ability word by word and sentence by sentence.

Cultivating the Luck Dao divine ability is not difficult; after his Luck Dao realm improves, it is no longer a problem.

However, the key is that this divine ability is not something one can use at will; it is triggered passively.

When one's fortune manifests as misfortune, it gradually accumulates; the more misfortune, the greater the danger; the greater the danger, the higher the probability of death.

And when a cultivator's misfortune can no longer be controlled, there is a ten percent chance to trigger the Extreme Adversity Brings Prosperity divine ability, reversing a desperate situation, finding life after being placed at death's door.

"Interesting......"

This divine ability obviously tests whether the cultivator's fate is tough enough; ordinary people encountering one or two life-and-death crises are already extraordinary, yet the key is that this Extreme Adversity Brings Prosperity divine ability actually actively stores misfortune!

Misfortune is certainly not a good thing; moreover, since he cultivates Luck Dao, he surely knows that when misfortune befalls him, danger will inevitably follow.

Moreover, since one wants to cultivate this divine ability, one inevitably has to store misfortune; isn't that basically courting death?

Or rather...

Bet!

Bet that one day one will encounter misfortune that cannot be resisted, bet that this adverse-to-prosperity divine ability will definitely be triggered!

Yan Buji narrowed his eyes, began to ponder.
