"Marvelous Ksitigarbha!"
Seeing this, Xuanqing couldn’t help but exclaim, "The Treasure Bead illuminates the path to heaven, the golden tin swings open the Hell Gate, a single step skywards, directly achieving Slash Second Corpse Quasi-Saint!"
Within the Western Sect, there weren’t many he admired, but Ksitigarbha was definitely one of them.
Indeed, when the Underworld began to operate, he had also thought about finding soone to undertake Ksitigarbha’s role to prevent the Western Sect from intervening in the affairs of the Underworld in the future!
But looking amongst the Human, Chan, and Jie sects, he did not find a suitable candidate!
No one possessed Ksitigarbha’s perseverance; drawing territories as prisons, permanently residing in the Netherworld, redeeming wronged souls, and even vowing the grand vow of "not attaining Buddhahood until hell is emptied."
Regardless of Ksitigarbha’s current glory, as long as his grand vow is not fulfilled, he couldn’t leave the Underworld and his cultivation would always be stuck at the current realm.
For the direct disciples of various sects, their ambitions naturally wouldn’t be limited to becoming a Quasi-Saint, but to beco revered ancestors and then strive for a chance to beco a Saint.
Given hundreds of Yuanhui, or even longer, they might have already slashed away the corpses of good and evil, even the clinging corpse, and begun exploring the path to sainthood!
As for other disciples, even if they wished to make such a vow, they weren’t qualified, and the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t recognize it, nor would it bestow the rit needed to slash the corpses of good and evil.
The technique of grand vow is essentially a thod of borrowing; it’s a thod of inverting effect for cause. Only by obtaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao, does the Heavenly Dao provide rit to you in advance!
First, you must have the potential to achieve Quasi-Saint status for the Heavenly Dao to recognize your grand vow.
Second, you must also have the possibility and capability to promise what you have vowed to the Heavenly Dao.
Lastly, you must have a background!
Saints and the heavens are eternal, coexisting with the Dao, the Primordial Spirit entrusted to the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and deeply bound to the Primordial World, represents the greatest background of the Primordial World!
Three conditions, indispensable!
And Xuanqing, didn’t pay much attention to this matter either, although Ksitigarbha obtained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, he still could not shake the power of the Xuan Sect in the Underworld.
The Emperor Shangqing alone was an insurmountable chasm for him.
A Quasi-Saint who has slashed the second corpse might be strong, but could never contend with an avatar of a Saint.
Xuanqing was busy with artifact refining.
He took out the Shouyang Red Copper bestowed by Taiching Laozi, and also the Cosmic River Gold Sand gifted by East Sea Dragon King, deciding to use these two materials to craft a defensive Spiritual Treasure.
Shouyang Red Copper, utterly rigid and positive, repels all evil, containing imnse unparalleled power.
The Cosmic River Gold Sand, on the other hand, can only be conceived at the junction of the river of ti and space with the real world, uncollectible by those not practicing the Ti Dao.
The batch in Xuanqing’s hands was personally delivered by Aoguang last ti to accommodate the Nether Dragon’s residence in the World of Darkness, said to have been accumulated by the Candle Dragon over hundreds of millions of years.
In terms of value, this Cosmic River Gold Sand could even match a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
This Cosmic River Gold Sand, each grain is a Dust World, containing the power of heaven and earth within, and infused with the essence of ti and space Dao, a rare spatial attribute among Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Refine!"
Xuanqing activated the "Taiyang Fire," intending to lt the Shouyang Red Copper and shape it into a large bell, but he was always unable to lt it into liquid tal.
It wasn’t that his mana was insufficient, nor was the "Taiyang Fire" not strong enough, but rather he lacked a suitable furnace that could refine various precious materials.
With a thought, he used "Sui Fire" as a base, integrating various Innate Divine Fires and supplented by the Innate Eight Diagrams, directly condensing a fla furnace in the void.
While constructing this fla furnace, his understanding of the Fire Great Dao and the Refining Great Dao also rose with the improvents in the furnace.
The temperature inside the furnace was terrifyingly extre, as if inserting over a dozen suns, countless universes exploding simultaneously, the ultimate flas even capable of directly refining all heavens.
And with the integration of "Devastating Divine Fire," this fla furnace underwent a qualitative change triggered by a quantitative change, already showing signs of evolving towards the origin of all fires.
Xuanqing couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat.
This furnace, if out of control at this mont and thrown out, would be no less explosive than a Great Divine Ability practitioner self-destructing, capable of turning millions of miles of void into dust.
"What are you doing?"
The scorching temperature even dispersed the pervasive Yin Qi in the world of darkness, startling Emperor Shangqing who quickly utilized his mana to protect Xuanqing.
"Teacher!"
Xuanqing sent a grateful look imdiately.
At the sa ti, a bold idea erged in his heart: if he could continuously compress the Divine Thunder or Divine Fire he mastered, using alchemical thods, could he refine a Thunder Pill or Fire Pill potent enough to kill a Quasi-Saint?
Art is an explosion!
If one could compress endless Divine Thunder or Divine Fire into a single Dan Pill, the instant explosion of power would surely turn tens of thousands of realms into dust!
Chaos first opened, a point of explosion, a black hole engulfing the sun, moon, and stars, a point annihilating all myriad realms and other extre scenarios of destruction instantly appeared in Xuanqing’s mind, rooting and sprouting like seeds.
"Alchemy?"
"The small universe of the human body, the universe as a large human body, this void of heaven and earth, all heavens and myriads of worlds, as well as endless dinsions, why can’t they be considered a single pill to be refined?"
"Artifact Refining?"
"If Buzhou Mountain can be refined into the Sky Flipping Seal, why can’t the Primordial World be refined into a Chaos Pearl?"
"Talisman Refining?"
"These Celestial Stars, famous mountains and rivers, even each blade of grass, all contain boundless Dao essence, why can’t this realm be seen as a giant talisman?"
"Array Refining?"
"The Five Elents, Yin and Yang, Eight Diagrams, and Celestial Stars all can be transford into grand arrays, why bother looking far and wide?"
"Sword Refining?"
"Heaven is Yang, Earth is Yin, and in between lies the world opened by Pangu, this world containing boundless emptiness, how could it not be considered a peerless Divine Sword?"
At that mont, Xuanqing felt as if he had received divine enlightennt, seemingly seeing the possibility of refining myriad Daos, and the Dao tree within him suddenly broke through a hundred thousand zhang.
And it did not stop there!
The Dao tree crazily grew, reaching 129,600 zhang, aligning with the number of one Yuan eting, then it stopped growing and burst forth with incomparably dazzling divine light!
Upon it, the Great Daos of Thunder, Fire, Wind, Alchemy, Talisman, Artifact, Array, and Sword shone brilliantly.
These were all Xuanqing’s paths of cultivation.
Among them, the two thickest branches, undoubtedly the Great Daos of Thunder and Fire, were already infinitely close to the origin, emitting an unparalleled Innate Dao essence.
Next, were the Wind Great Dao, Plague Great Dao, Ghost Immortal Path, and the not yet fully ford Spirit Agriculture Path carried by Xuanqing’s Innate Spiritual Treasure.
As for the Innate Yi Dao and Innate Eight Diagrams, they transford into the roots, supporting the entire Refining Dao System.
The other smaller branches, either like the Acquired Great Daos of Swords and Arrays, or the Innate Spiritual Treasure Dao Essences imprinted by Xuanqing from Purple Mansion and comprehended Innate Dao Essences, though intricate, already showed great prospects.
"Awaken!"
As if a Divine Being commanded, the sound of a great bell rang, waking Xuanqing from his enlightennt. On closer inspection, who else could have awakened him but Emperor Shangqing?
It turned out that unknowingly, he had unified several types of Innate Divine Fire, and based on "Sui Fire", he had condensed the true "Furnace of All Daos"!
The scorching aura made the ghosts in the World of Darkness extrely uncomfortable, and Emperor Shangqing, having no choice, awakened him from his deep enlightennt.
"Thank you, teacher, for your protection!"
Xuanqing quickly bowed as a gesture of respect, and then upon focusing, he realized that the Shouyang Red Copper had already lted into molten copper, and even unintentionally ford a device embryo.
This device embryo, taking the shape of a large bell, by appearance, surprisingly resembled the "Chaos Bell", and even more so, it integrated the Dao essence produced during Xuanqing’s enlightennt!
Truly extraordinary!
