Chapter 274: A Supreme Primordial Merit Spirit Treasure, one vessel breaks ten thousand laws!
The Dao Fruit had just ripened, and before there was time to fish back the Master of the Four Seasons, an accident occurred.
Such a situation made the Demon Gods somewhat furious.
"This strand of causality has already been severed; there is nothing left to investigate. We can only initiate other plans," the 【Earth Master】 sighed.
The Demon Gods nodded: "Fortunately, we have other contingency plans, otherwise the great undertaking would have been ruined."
"We must still keep a closer eye on the other few plans; there must be no more accidents."
The 【Yin Master】 said: "I have already reconverged my Great Luo Dao Fruit, and the Yang Master has also touched the threshold of proving the Dao. We will set off for the Primordial Pre-Heaven in a few days."
"You all had better not capsize the boat. Otherwise, if you fall before we even enter the Primordial True Realm, the wait of countless ages will have been in vain."
"These words are very true!"
Liubo said: "How about I go to watch over a few places on the Primordial Great Land?"
"Absolutely not!"
The Demon Gods said: "Fellow Daoist has already shown your face in the starry sky. If you appear on the Primordial Great Land, it will be easy for scheming spirits to calculate against you."
The 【Earth Master】 said: "It is better that I go."
"It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to try and make contact with the myriad races of the Primordial, especially some of the major powers."
The Demon Gods pondered for a while and all nodded: "That is also fine. Fellow Daoist has the highest cultivation among us, so it will surely be foolproof!"
Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.
In order to be worthy of Bingyi's trust, Xiang Xuanqing did not let the Achieving Hunyuan Ding improvise this time, but chose to personally refine the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book.
The Chaos Primordial Qi divided into two in the void, and the mouths of the two great cauldrons emitted countless precious lights.
For a time, heavenly music drifted ethereally, and strange phenomena appeared one after another.
Amidst the boundless brilliant light, a strange phenomenon of a white turtle suddenly appeared in the cauldron refining the Luo Book.
This white turtle swam leisurely in the Chaos Primordial Qi, quite relaxed.
I do not know how much time passed, but lines of Great Dao patterns appeared on the white turtle's back, representing oceans and skies, birds, beasts, fish, and insects, mountains and rivers of brocade...
And in the cauldron refining the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu, the myriad strange phenomena finally transformed into a dragon horse.
The dragon horse galloped joyfully in the Chaos Primordial Qi.
On the dragon horse's body, infinitely profound and endless Great Dao principles transformed into scales; these scales were like stars, forming a picture of a vast galaxy.
The Luo Book was forming, and the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu was being re-refined.
In the Jade Void Palace, time had lost its meaning. Even if the Great Dao changed for only an instant, it felt as if billions of years had passed, or as if one had experienced boundless kalpas.
Xiang Xuanqing sat cross-legged in the void, with the Myriad Heavens Celebration Clouds appearing above his head.
Within the celebration clouds, five-colored light rendered the myriad heavens, and eight-tone immortal music resounded through the universe.
Outside the celebration clouds, countless golden lamps, golden lotuses, tassels, and hanging pearls fell from the clouds, like water dripping from the eaves, continuous and unending.
While refining the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book, Xiang Xuanqing was also comprehending the changes in his Dao Fruit.
Refining a Pre-Heaven Spirit into a Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure, making it a Great Luo of the Vessel Dao—this was an unprecedented event in the Primordial.
It could absolutely be called a great breakthrough in the Great Dao of Vessels.
If this matter succeeded, Xiang Xuanqing would inevitably take a solid step forward on the Great Dao of Vessels.
And the influence of this matter would surely radiate far and wide; cultivators on the Great Dao of Vessels in the future could all benefit from it and gain inspiration for artifact refining.
This is the meaning of the existence of a Dao-opener.
They are the pioneers, the guides, and definitely not the blockers at the end of the Dao.
Where the Dao resides, there is no front or back, no top or bottom.
In the Primordial True Realm, there is no such saying that "only one Great Luo is allowed to prove the Dao on one Great Dao."
On the same Great Dao, different seekers of the Dao also have different ways of walking.
The focus is different, and the Dao Fruits condensed may also be different.
The Immortal Dao has the Nine Immortals of Hunyuan. In the future, if there are collisions and exchanges with other Great Daos, perhaps there will appear Medical Immortals, Gu Immortals, Painting Immortals, Welfare Immortals, Travel Immortals, Figure Immortals...
Distributing welfare to those with affinity; the higher the achievement of those with affinity, the higher the feedback the Welfare Immortal receives;
The more world scenery one has seen, the wider the radiation range of the travel agency, and the stronger the immortal becomes;
The better the figures one makes, the higher the immortal's cultivation.
This is not necessarily impossible to realize.
The Demon Dao has the Ten Demons of Dao-Testing. In the future, those who can prove the Dao might also include Succubus, Karma Demons, Heart Demons, Demons of Joy, Demons of Civilization...
Taking a civilization as a foundation and transforming into a demon—why not?
By the same token, Xiang Xuanqing can refine a spirit into a Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure today. If later generations absorb experience from this and realize the method of "using the body as a vessel," they might not necessarily fail to walk out a path of proving the Dao by "one vessel breaking ten thousand laws."
And if one expands their thinking, the Great Dao of Vessels can also be popularized downwards, walking a path of "refining vessels for all living beings."
For example, benefiting all living beings with mechanism arts, condensing the "liberating productive forces" Dao Fruit.
"I am currently shining and heating up on the Great Dao of Vessels. In the future, living beings who practice the Great Dao of Vessels will be able to gain more inspiration; and when they succeed, I can also draw upon their Great Dao achievements."
"This is the joy of seeking the Dao!"
Seeing that the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book were about to be successfully refined, Xiang Xuanqing was in a very good mood.
If later cultivators could draw inspiration from the unconventional spirit treasures he refined and join the "Unconventional Club of the Great Dao of Vessels," Xiang Xuanqing would certainly be even happier.
This shows that there are successors!
Currently, among the disciples of the Chan Sect, Huang Long, Yun Zhongzi, and Zhenren Yuding are all very talented in artifact refining.
It just depends on what inspiration they can draw from Xiang Xuanqing's Great Dao of artifact refining.
Boom!
I do not know how much time passed, but ten thousand Daos resounded in the Jade Void Palace.
For a time, there was endless rosy light and auspicious colors.
The dragon horse carried the map, galloping in the boundless galaxy; the white turtle carried the book, swimming freely in the torrent of laws.
Looking at the spirit treasure about to take shape, Xiang Xuanqing smiled brightly: "Not bad, not bad, it is finally done."
"However, it is not enough yet. Please, Fellow Daoist Bingyi, be a little more patient; it still needs to go through the final procedure!"
Xiang Xuanqing's mind stirred, and the Myriad Heavens Celebration Clouds covered the boundless area.
In the Jade Void Palace, heavenly music vibrated, Dao light danced, Xuanhuang gathered, fragrance drifted, and the light of merit was as brilliant as the sea.
"Although Fellow Daoist cannot cultivate after turning into a spirit treasure, I can use Xuanhuang Merit to help Fellow Daoist complete a further transformation, thereby raising the grade of the spirit treasure."
"When Fellow Daoist transforms and emerges again, perhaps you can use this opportunity to go a step further!"
Xiang Xuanqing reached out and pointed at the Achieving Hunyuan Ding, and the boundless merit circling in the void began to descend.
The Pre-Heaven Indestructible Spiritual Light belonging to Bingyi wandered in the Achieving Hunyuan Ding.
When the boundless merit was added to his body, he felt as if a thirsty traveler had drunk his fill of clear spring water, feeling an unprecedented comfort.
"This is Xuanhuang Merit?" It was not the first time Bingyi had heard of Xuanhuang Merit.
Following the last time the Taiwei Gods proved the Dao with merit, their Great Dao refracted through eternity, and the concept of merit became increasingly popularized among the myriad worlds of the heavens.
But the Xuanhuang Merit that Bingyi had come into contact with was only the merit of the Heavenly Dao of some minor worlds, which simply could not compare to the merit issued by Xiang Xuanqing's 【Xuanhuang Merit Heavenly Dao】.
Bingyi felt his own transformation; he had not only transformed into the Luo Book, but had even established a connection with the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu.
His power gradually attached to the map and the book, constantly merging with these two spirit treasures.
Besides Bingyi, the Achieving Hunyuan Ding also accommodated boundless merit this time.
"This merit is not bad!" The Achieving Hunyuan Ding felt happy inside. It was itself a Supreme Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure, and since following Xiang Xuanqing, it had melted ten thousand Daos, and its foundation was extremely deep.
For the Achieving Hunyuan Ding, more merit was actually just icing on the cake, and it was difficult to help it transform into a Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasure.
But the Achieving Hunyuan Ding was still very happy, just taking this as a reward from Xiang Xuanqing.
Sensing the Achieving Hunyuan Ding's mood, Xiang Xuanqing smiled.
He looked at the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book that were gradually transforming, and thought to himself: "Refining Pre-Heaven from post-heaven objects, even if Heavenly Dao merit is added, the best result is only becoming a Supreme Pre-Heaven Merit Spirit Treasure."
"If one wants to go a step further and transform into a Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasure, I am afraid it is difficult upon difficult."
"Perhaps in the future, when my cultivation improves again, I can try to combine the Vessel Dao Fruit with the Merit Dao Fruit; perhaps it can allow the spirit treasure to complete this final transformation!" Xiang Xuanqing rubbed his chin. He let his thoughts wander and suddenly thought of a way for spirit treasures to cultivate without transforming.
"If a spiritual treasure cultivates the wondrous method of merit itself, can it condense the Dao Fruit of merit, complete its transformation, become a Supreme Treasure, and attain the Dao as a 'Great Luo of the Vessel Dao'?"
"Hmm, I can try it!"
Xiang Xuanqing immediately began to experiment.
While refining artifacts, he began to use the 【Xuanhuang Merit Heavenly Dao】 to deduce relevant scriptures.
Letting spirit treasures cultivate themselves sounded like a very good idea.
As for whether it could succeed, that did not matter.
Try it first; what if it succeeds?
And so, while the Achieving Hunyuan Ding was refining the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book, it suddenly heard a volume of merit cultivation method—"General Outline of Spirit Treasure Cultivation."
"Master's meaning is to let us cultivate ourselves?" The Achieving Hunyuan Ding was stunned for a moment.
Not only it, but the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, the Evil Mirror, the Boat of Crossing the World, the Heavenly Demon Tower, the Falling Cherry Divine Axe, the Soul-Hooking Lock, the Small Taiji Map, and other spirit treasures all heard this volume of scripture.
"Can spirit treasures also cultivate themselves?" Xiang Xuanqing's spirit treasures were full of curiosity and one after another threw themselves into cultivation.
Netherworld.
Zhenren Huang Long, who had returned to the Wucheng Tiangong to visit relatives, was chatting happily with a group of spirit treasures.
Seeing that everyone suddenly stopped talking, Zhenren Huang Long asked: "What is wrong with everyone?"
"We just received the cultivation scripture Master transmitted to us," the Soul-Hooking Lock said to Zhenren Huang Long.
"What cultivation scripture? Can I practice it?" Zhenren Huang Long was curious.
"It is the 'General Outline of Spirit Treasure Cultivation'." The Soul-Hooking Lock transmitted this volume of scripture directly to Huang Long.
The Falling Cherry Divine Axe said: "You are not a spirit treasure, so you probably cannot practice it, but you can use it for reference."
"In the future, if you encounter spirit treasures that can cultivate, you will also have a way to deal with them."
"So that's how it is." Huang Long began to study this "General Outline of Spirit Treasure Cultivation" seriously.
As he looked at it, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
"Eh? Can I combine this with the Profound Art transmitted by Master? Treating myself as a spirit treasure to refine, perhaps I can create a brand new body-refining method?"
Huang Long immediately told the spirit treasures this idea.
"Everyone, give me some advice; is this worth doing?"
"Combining the spirit treasure cultivation method with the Chan Sect Profound Art?"
After the spirit treasures exchanged for a while, they all expressed agreement: "You can try it!"
Huang Long's eyes lit up: "Really?"
The Soul-Hooking Lock said: "Go to the Jade Void Palace and state this line of thought to Master."
"If Master nods, then invite the Jade Ruyi over, and we will study this 'General Outline of Spirit Treasure Cultivation' together first and discuss a plan."
"Okay, I will go find Teacher right now!" Huang Long happily left the Wucheng Tiangong.
Jade Void Palace.
As countless strange phenomena dissipated, the work of refining the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book was declared finished.
In the boundless Chaos Primordial Qi, one map and one book circled.
"Fellow Daoist, how do you feel?"
"You are now a Supreme Pre-Heaven Merit Spirit Treasure!"
Xiang Xuanqing looked at the brand new Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book with a smile.
The quality of this set of spirit treasures was catching up to the original version, and he did not know if the other party would be stunned when they met the mastermind behind the scenes later.
"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist!"
The 【Luo Book】 transformed by Bingyi fell from the void and turned into a white turtle.
Bingyi's Pre-Heaven Indestructible Spiritual Light condensed into a phantom, appearing on the white turtle's back.
His appearance was no different from when he was alive; he was still a handsome and dashing immortal.
And the 【Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu】 landed in Xiang Xuanqing's hand.
Xiang Xuanqing's mind stirred, and the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu transformed into a Jade Void Glazed Lamp. Once this lamp appeared, it bloomed with brilliant light, illuminating the three thousand worlds.
Looking at the questioning gaze cast by Bingyi, Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "When outside, we still need to disguise ourselves a bit, so as not to alarm the original owner of the Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book, making it hard to ambush them!"
"So that's how it is!" Bingyi's eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately understood.
"Then I will also change a bit!"
After saying this, the white turtle carrying the immortal transformed back into the 【Luo Book】, and then turned into a lamp wick, merging with the Jade Void Glazed Lamp.
Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasures can transform as one wishes.
Isn't it simple for the 【Hunyuan Hunyuan Hetu and Luo Book】 to turn into a Jade Void Palace Lamp?
"In this way, it can also satisfy Fellow Daoist's wish to stay in the Jade Void Palace for a period of time."
The Jade Void Glazed Lamp's light flickered, seemingly responding to Xiang Xuanqing.
After refining the spirit treasure, Huang Long arrived just in time.
Huang Long entered the Jade Void Palace and suddenly felt an extra aura of clarity in the hall. Looking to the side, a glazed lamp was illuminating the three thousand worlds.
He looked curiously a few more times, always feeling that the more he looked at this spirit treasure, the less it looked like a lamp, and instead looked like a scroll.
Having stayed with unconventional spirit treasures for a long time, Huang Long had an extraordinary intuition for unconventional things.
"Huang Long, why have you come to the Jade Void?"
At this moment, Xiang Xuanqing's voice came.
Huang Long composed his mind, stepped forward and said: "Teacher, disciple has an idea!"
And so Huang Long stated his idea once.
Xiang Xuanqing listened and looked at Huang Long with great gratification: "Using the body as a vessel, you have indeed chosen a good path."
Huang Long was full of surprise; Teacher also agreed with him!
"Take this volume of scripture."
Xiang Xuanqing spread his hands, and boundless immortal light condensed into a volume of scripture.
"'One Vessel Breaks Ten Thousand Laws'?"
Huang Long took the scripture, full of joy.
"That... disciple also wants to borrow the Jade Ruyi." He accepted the scripture and looked at Xiang Xuanqing with an embarrassed face.
"That is also fine!"
A stream of light flew out from Xiang Xuanqing's sleeve and landed in Huang Long's hand.
"Many thanks, Teacher!"
Huang Long was overjoyed, bowed respectfully to Xiang Xuanqing: "Disciple is going to cultivate!"
"Go." Xiang Xuanqing waved his hand with a smile.
Huang Long hugged the Jade Ruyi and happily left the Jade Void Palace.
"Teacher Jade, I hope you will give this disciple more guidance."
"Rest assured, Treasure, I am also very skilled in the Dao of Vessels!"
Especially in the unconventional aspect!
