No wonder the Tongtian Taoist is so confident, believing that possessing this item gives him the capital to resist the Demon Lord. It’s like giving players a key that can directly modify the "ga code"!
With this ability, there might really be a glimr of hope.
Finally, Xiao Jie finished reading the book from start to finish.
[System Prompt: You have successfully comprehended [Unnad Taoist Scripture: Volu Four, Heavenly Dao], your comprehension has permanently increased by 10 points, and you have obtained the gifted talent ’Unity of Heaven and Man’, which you can view on the character panel.]
The system prompt sounded in his mind. Xiao Jie imdiately thought, opened the talent list in the character attributes section, and indeed saw a new talent icon at the bottom.
[Unity of Heaven and Man (Special Talent): When you activate this talent, your Spirit will temporarily synchronize with the Heavenly Dao, entering a ’Unity of Heaven and Man’ state.
In this state:
You can perceivably sense, guide, and use [Heavenly Dao Power] to a limited extent.
You will also gain the special status [The Heartless Heavenly Dao]. In this state, your consciousness will transcend all mundane emotional bonds, residing in an absolutely rational and objective mode of thought, eliminating all judgnt interference caused by emotional fluctuations. All your decisions and actions will be based on existing information, automatically deducing the logical ’optimal solution’.
Duration: 10 minutes.
Cooldown ti: 7 days.
Note: This talent’s effect will synchronously enhance with your rank as an Immortal. The higher the rank, the longer the Unity of Heaven and Man state lasts, and the application and efficiency of Heavenly Dao Power will also grow correspondingly.]
"This is truly... a treasure," Xiao Jie read the description of the talent, his heart increasingly filled with awe.
Though the cooldown ti for [Unity of Heaven and Man] is extrely long, its effect is astonishingly powerful. Ten minutes of absolute rationality, combined with partial system permissions, can be sufficient at critical monts to change the tide of battle, or even create miracles!
"How does it feel?" the Tongtian Taoist asked with a smile, as if he had anticipated this reaction.
Xiao Jie nodded in admiration, "It’s worthy of the ’Heavenly Dao’. With this ability, there is indeed a glimr of hope to defeat the Demon Lord."
The Tongtian Taoist smiled knowingly at his response and nodded gently, "Naturally, and this Heavenly Dao Power can not only help you defeat the Demon Lord but also assist you in stripping the Saint’s origin essence from the chaotic and vast forces within the Demon Lord.
As long as you can gather seven fragnts of the Saint’s origin and rge them, you will have the chance to obtain the complete ’Power of the Saint’."
"At that ti, you can use this unparalleled Power of the Saint to reshape the laws of the Great Thousand Worlds, reverse the ti and space corrupted by the Demon Lord, or directly use the Creation Power to spur life... naturally, restoring the Great Thousand Worlds, once turned into a doomsday wasteland, back to its original vibrant state.
Not only can doomsday be prevented, but you can also recreate the world."
At this point, the Tongtian Taoist’s tone suddenly beca extrely serious. He gazed at Xiao Jie, speaking deliberately, "However, before you begin all this, I need you to promise one thing."
"What is it?" Xiao Jie asked with a serious look.
"This Power of the Saint, you may use it to shape the external world, but you must never—absorb it into yourself, becoming a new Saint!" The Tongtian Taoist’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if trying to pierce through Xiao Jie’s heart.
"I know, becoming the supre Saint, possessing the authority over creation and destruction, is the ultimate temptation countless cultivators dream of. But you must resist this temptation! Once you choose to beco a Saint, you will no longer be yourself.
The life form and power level of a Saint, which transcends the understanding of an Immortal, will fundantally distort and alter your mindset and cognition. Eventually, you will inevitably beco a new Demon Lord, becoming the initiator of the next cycle!"
Listening to the Tongtian Taoist’s earnest warning, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but feel a little speechless.
Transform into a Saint? That’s really thinking highly of !
Let alone becoming a Saint, whether he can survive in the Great Thousand Worlds under the threat of six Demon Lords is still uncertain. This Heavenly Dao Power is indeed impressive, an ultimate trump card, but what he has to face are six apocalypses that are fallen from being Saints! Even with this Heavenly Dao permission, it’s rely a faint glimr of hope amidst despair, still far from victory.
As for becoming a Saint... that’s way too far-fetched, not even in his current consideration.
But he could still sense the concern and warning in the Tongtian Taoist’s words, so he solemnly nodded and promised, "Don’t worry, I’ve noted it. Power is just a tool, I won’t be enslaved by it. I won’t covet the position of the Saint."
"That’s good." The Tongtian Taoist nodded slightly, his expression not overly gratified, leaving it unclear whether he believed him or not.
"Then, please co with , it’s ti to send you off."
Xiao Jie thought to himself, couldn’t you say sothing nicer...
He stood up and followed the Tongtian Taoist, winding up the last spiraling staircase within the tower.
The Tongtian Taoist walked steadily, slowly, with a peculiar sense of ritual, further intensifying the sense of mission in Xiao Jie’s heart.
The two walked for over ten minutes. The surrounding scenery gradually changed from elegant dwellings to monotonous stone walls. Eventually, the view opened up, and they arrived at the top of the Sky Tower.
Here, it seed to be the end of the world. Above, was the pitch-black infinite Void.
And below their feet was a smooth surface paved with large green jade. At the center of the ground was a massive Rune Array.
Without understanding the runes, just the layout made it clear it was certainly so kind of Teleportation Array.
"Here is the Transmission Platform leading to the Great Thousand Worlds," the Tongtian Taoist pointed to the Array beneath his feet, his tone solemn, "everything that follows depends on you, Daoist Sui Feng."
Xiao Jie stood at the edge of the Array, taking a deep breath.
A complex mix of overwhelming duty, apprehension over the unknown, and the thrill of challenging limits made him shiver slightly all over.
He no longer hesitated, stepping into the center of the Array.
He turned around and nodded slightly at the Tongtian Taoist.
"Begin."
The Tongtian Taoist nodded slightly and said no more. He lifted his foot, seemingly casually stepping gently on a specific rune node on the ground.
Buzz——!
The entire Array was instantly activated! A dazzling white light exploded from countless rune lines, soaring into the sky, completely engulfing Xiao Jie’s figure! An indescribable enormous energy crazily gathered and swirled in the field.
"It might feel a bit uncomfortable." The Tongtian Taoist’s voice seed a bit indistinct amidst the roar of light.
Almost the mont he finished speaking, a strong tearing and dizziness abruptly struck Xiao Jie! He felt that what he stood on was no longer solid stone, but the center of an erging energy vortex.
His body, his Immortal Yuan, even his consciousness, began to forcibly rge into this violent and pure spatial energy. His vision was quickly obscured by pure white light, gradually blurring, and finally beca a void.
His hearing, touch, and other senses seed to be drifting away from him, his consciousness flickering like a candle in the wind, nearly dissipating completely...
Whizz——!
A white beam of light suddenly erupted from the top of the Sky Tower, piercing straight into the endless deep Void, the light lasting for a long ti.
Outside the distant Mountain and Sea Painting Realm, three Immortals, who had been closely watching the direction of the Sky Tower, observed that beam of light connecting heaven and earth. Their expressions instantly beca solemn.
They knew that the companion who chose to venture into danger alone had embarked on their journey.
And in the real world, under a burst of gentle yet powerful white light, Xiao Jie’s body vanished without a trace from the silver-gray gaming cabin.
Standing guard outside, Gu Feiyu seed to sense sothing, and he suddenly pushed open the door, catching the final scene as the white light faded away. He stood there stunned, hurriedly rushing to the gaming cabin and opening its door—only to find it empty.
He stood there blankly for a long ti, clenching his fist tightly, murmuring to himself, "Jie, rest assured... I will also work hard to find you in the Great Thousand Worlds as soon as possible!"
