Speaking of this period of tumultuous tis, Tianhe Venerable’s tone was understated.
Zheng Fa could understand.
Back then, the Tianhe Sect and the Four Sects were outwardly harmonious but inwardly at odds.
At so unknown ti, the Four Sects had cultivated many traitors within the Tianhe Sect.
Tianhe Venerable attacked various sects, gathering resources and cultivation techniques while pruning the wings of the Four Sects, which was naturally expected.
This Venerable had a kind heart, but to say Xuanwei Dominator was soone whose hands were unstained by blood and gentle-hearted would be sowhat laughable.
"Later, I finally stepped out into the next stage of the Tianhe Technique, but then faced a choice."
"What choice?"
"Between the Tianhe Sect and the Tianhe Technique, at that ti, I could only preserve one."
"Why?"
"You’ll understand just by looking."
Zheng Fa placed the jade tube against his forehead, letting his Divine Sense flow to read the spell within.
A mont later, he opened his eyes in surprise and said:
"Ten Thousand Immortals Formation? Cutting ?"
Tianhe Venerable seed even more surprised and countered:
"You understood it so quickly?"
Zheng Fa nodded, "It’s quite understandable."
Tianhe Venerable was taken aback for a mont, then turned his gaze sideways to those disciples.
To be honest, the Tianhe Technique to Zheng Fa was far easier to understand than the Yang God Technique and Dharma Body Technique:
The next step of the Tianhe Technique is simply eight words: network open source, decentralization.
Xuanwei Array Dao arranges arrays primarily using Spirit Stones, supplented by various Magic Artifacts.
But Tianhe Venerable used his Lifebound Magical Treasure to arrange arrays.
This is a bit like Zheng Fa establishing the internet with the help of Comprehensive Records.
If these Tianhe disciples practiced the sa cultivation thod and arranged the array using Lifebound Magical Treasures, it would easily connect together.
Zheng Fa looked at the Tianhe disciples below.
"Brothers, have you cultivated the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation?"
"Array formation!"
Over ten thousand Tianhe disciples shouted simultaneously, countless Immortal Swords pointing at Zheng Fa in midair, their fierce aura surpassing that of Independent Immortals!
Yet, the highest cultivation among these disciples was only Integration!
Regardless of how much advantage the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation brings to cultivation, its enhancent to cultivators’ combat capabilities is undeniably visible.
Zheng Fa looked at this group of disciples, the brightness in his eyes continuous, rembering the Jiushan Military Academy.
Jiushan Military Academy had always been researching Immortal Formation Skills, yet Immortal Formations require cultivators to perform spells to harmonize their minds; nowhere near as swift as connecting Lifebound Magical Treasures!
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Skill seemingly rges the strengths of Immortal Formation Skills and Xuanwei Array Dao!
Bringing back the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Skill to improve Immortal Formation Skills would undoubtedly boost the combat capabilities of Jiushan cultivators!
Seeing Zheng Fa’s eyes brightening, Tianhe Venerable couldn’t help but feel a bit proud.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is the essence of his Dao, and seeing a succeeding heir like Zheng Fa appreciate it brought him comfort.
But Zheng Fa’s next words shook his Venerable expression.
"While the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation may be regarded as the Venerable’s unprecedented innovation in Array Dao," Zheng Fa sincerely said, "it seems to that Cutting is the truly admirable act for posterity!"
Upon hearing this, Tianhe Venerable looked at Zheng Fa and remained silent for a long while, until he reached out a hand, and two bronze wine cups appeared between them out of thin air.
"Earlier, within the hall, we couldn’t drink together—a regrettable affair."
Zheng Fa took one cup of wine, yet his attitude remained firm: "For the Dao of Cutting alone, I should toast to the Venerable."
Saying this, Zheng Fa raised the wine cup to his lips and drank it all in one go.
He wasn’t pretending or flattering.
If there were only the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation Skill, Zheng Fa would marvel but not hold such admiration.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation indeed is already quite miraculous.
On one hand, this cultivation thod is extrely powerful; placed within any sect, it would serve as the ultimate Dao-protecting technique.
On the other hand, within the array formation, the cultivators’ minds communicate, sharing the sa spell, naturally absorbing others’ cultivation essence and perfecting themselves.
Simply these two advantages make the Tianhe Technique already equal to Yang God Technique and Dharma Body Technique.
Yet, the most admirable aspect of Tianhe Venerable is "Cutting ," removing self-attachnt.
Simply put, it’s decentralization and equality in Daoist Skill.
Anyone cultivating the Tianhe Technique can see the full set of cultivation thods and even modify them at will.
And when future generations improve in cultivation, or even deepen their spells, their cultivation thod becos the orthodoxy.
Unlike Yang God Technique and Dharma Body Technique, which honor the source of Daoist Skills, Tianhe Venerable’s Tianhe Technique is... overwhelmingly equal.
Looking again at the jade tube in his hand, Zheng Fa felt its weight in his palm and truly recognized the significance of this inheritance.
Did Tianhe Venerable remove his self-attachnt?
Perhaps not, but his obsession was so imnse that he himself beca insignificant.
If the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation demonstrated Tianhe Venerable’s talent,
then "Cutting " left Zheng Fa in awe of this Venerable’s broad-mindedness.
He was silent for a long ti before asking:
"Venerable, did you wield your sword to open the heavens in order to perform Cutting ?"
"Part of it." Tianhe Venerable nodded, "I ntioned earlier, only one between the Tianhe Sect and Tianhe Technique could persist."
"The Tianhe Sect... many disciples were unwilling to follow ."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa was also silent.
Previously, he thought Tianhe Venerable was poor at nurturing peers, but now he understood it was impossible for this Venerable:
It’s important to realize that the Tianhe Sect and the Four Sects had a honeymoon period.
Between them, nurous cultivation techniques circulated mutually.
Perhaps Tianhe Venerable himself didn’t know the vast differences between the Tianhe Technique and various Dao Fruits.
By the ti fractures appeared between them, it was too late.
From a successor’s perspective, Zheng Fa naturally recognized the issue with the Tianhe Sect.
But if he were in the sa situation as Tianhe Venerable, he knew he would never possess foresight.
The Tianhe Sect couldn’t carry forward the Tianhe Technique; the further the Tianhe Technique developed, the more the Tianhe Sect fragnted.
This was why Tianhe Venerable said only one could exist.
"I abandoned the Tianhe Sect."
Tianhe Venerable’s tone was sowhat somber.
He realized that although the Tianhe Sect harbored traitors, many disciples were loyal to him...
"That sword was naturally to experint with the Tianhe Technique."
"Did Venerable succeed?"
Tianhe Venerable gently nodded.
"Then, why did you fall?"
Zheng Fa grew increasingly confused, "Cutting " was rely a cultivation thod; how could Tianhe Venerable truly die?
"I discovered Lu Yao’s identity, and he was about to attain Dao."
"..."
Zheng Fa was suddenly shocked, "Wasn’t it three rebirths..."
"Already three tis."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa’s mind flashed like thunder and lightning, realizing his oversight:
Lu Yao had long undergone three rebirths!
The first was Demon Emperor; as the monarch of the Demon Race, naturally a Golden Immortal!
The third life was Original Heavenly Demon; Original Heavenly Demon was the founder of Dharma Body Technique, equivalent to the ancestor of the Demon Sect, achieving Golden Immortal was effortlessly feasible.
The only issue was the second life, as the Haori Ancestor in that era.
Zheng Fa always heard of True Immortal Lu, assuming this Ancestor only attained True Immortal cultivation.
Now realizing the inconsistency:
Haori Mountain was the dominator of the Divine Dao Era; an Ancestor with only True Immortal cultivation was truly too low.
Moreover, Haori Mountain stood higher than Demon Ancestor.
According to the Rebirth Technique, Haori Ancestor’s lifeti preceded Original Demon Ancestor’s lifeti.
Lu Yao couldn’t possibly shift cultivation to the Demon Sect’s Skill without achieving Golden Immortal during the second life!
Therefore...
"Lu Yao already confird as three Golden Immortals?"
"He had then reached the stage of Three Tribulations Integration, but his ambition was too vast, wanting the Book of Life and Death to achieve Daluo, which held him back."
"Daluo?"
"Above Golden Immortal are Taiyi and Daluo realms."
"Is Daluo stronger than Taiyi?"
"Strong, indeed, but there’s no hierarchy in realms; Daluo is rely the Heavenly Dao orthodox, the ultimate Dao Fruit."
"Orthodox..."
Zheng Fa was inwardly shocked; if the cultivator’s ultimate goal was to beco the embodint of Heavenly Dao, then so-called Daluo would be the supre Heavenly Dao?
He could imagine how Tianhe Venerable at the ti was equally shocked to discover Lu Yao’s identity.
"So, Venerable, you..."
"Lu Yao’s second life achieved Dao through Fusang Wood, embodying the great sun."
"...Fusang Wood?"
Zheng Fa’s scalp tingled.
Indeed, the Demon Emperor attained Dao relying on Fusang Wood, so he naturally wouldn’t give up on this supre Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root...
The second life achieved Dao through Fusang Wood was truly too natural.
"I then considered experiencing a world without Spiritual Energy while unwilling to let Lu Yao attain Dao, so I slashed at the great sun."
I wondered how Fusang Wood seamlessly appeared in the modern world... turns out it was a genuine original disassembly!
