"Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit? Interesting..."
"The Nuwa Primordial Spirit of Lady Qinghua, and even my true self, all have human bodies with serpent tails, whereas Candle Dragon has a human face and serpent body..."
"More importantly... Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit is naturally suited for comprehending the Ti Dao Principle... it could even approach the ’Dao of Ti’ in the future..."
A rare look of hesitation appeared on Fang Xing’s face.
According to the Seven Killings Demon Palace’s Wanxiang Heavenly Demon Stele, he was more suited for the ’Qiankun Dao’ or the ’Void Dao’."
But the key point was that the "Qinghua Scroll" inheritance did not have corresponding Primordial Spirit attainnts!
If he failed to et the requirents, the Realm Spirit Snake Lady would kill him.
Even if he could escape with his True Spirit via the Gate of All Heavens, returning with such ager gains felt deeply unsatisfactory.
"Forget it... Even if I attain Primordial Spirit, it’s just this Black Dragon; my true self has many other choices..."
"As for the issue of mixed Law Comprehensions, in the future, I can either walk the path of fusing the Laws or resolve them by having children... Moreover, these hidden dangers would only manifest at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm... Worrying about this now is far too unnecessary."
Even if it was just a descending body ant to refine a Primordial Spirit, Fang Xing still looked down on the Fire Spirit Primordial Spirit, favoring the ’Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit’ instead.
Furthermore...
If I only comprehend the Fire Spirit Primordial Spirit thod, it would be too simple and probably wouldn’t et the Realm Spirit Snake Lady’s requirents.
"Ti Dao Principle..."
"The ’Qinghua Scroll’ inheritance focuses mainly on the Life Dao Principle, with the Ti Dao Principle as a supplent... Lady Qinghua herself might not have reached much depth in the Ti Dao Principle..."
"But at least there is a sample here. As long as I can sense the Ti Wave and enter the Ti Dao Principle... comprehending up to the third level within a short ti fra... It seems very difficult. My Space Dao Principle barely reached this step after facing the Space Origin and spending decades."
"Will I die this ti?"
A thought surfaced in Fang Xing’s mind, but a terrifying will quickly cut off all these worries. He began to fully imrse himself in comprehending the Ti Wave.
...
Inside Lady Qinghua’s Temple.
The Realm Spirit Snake Lady watched several Mysterious Light Mirrors.
Besides Fang Xing and the others, three additional mirrors appeared.
These are naturally the geniuses who arrived at the boundless Blood Sea later and were deed to have the potential for inheritance.
She first looked at Song Zhong and saw that he was still resting with his eyes closed, shaking her head: "After being enslaved by the soul, he is truly wasted... That Mortal Blood four-legged snake is indeed hateful... but the control technique is quite ingenious."
Then, the Snake Lady looked at Ning Qian.
"Three years have passed where she is... She is the most likely to succeed. How vast is Lady Qinghua’s inheritance? For cultivators who have not entered the Life Dao Principle, as long as they can comprehend the First Level to Perfection within the prescribed ti limit, they can beco a registered disciple... Comprehending up to the Second Level makes them an official disciple."
For those who already have Life Dao Principle comprehension, reaching a deeper level is required.
The Snake Lady’s gaze swept over a few others and finally landed on Prince Fu Shan.
Even she had to admit the prince was indeed outstanding; with just a few incomplete drawings, he was steadily on the right track.
"What a pity Lady Qinghua mainly studied the Life Dao Principle and did not delve deeply into the Ti Dao Principle... Otherwise, more manipulations could be made with the flow of ti..."
The Snake Lady, feeling grieved, looked toward the Mysterious Light Mirror where Fang Xing was located.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, her eyes widened as if she’d seen sothing incredible: "He chose to comprehend the Ti Dao Principle? Nothing in this Secret Realm can be hidden from ... This wave, it’s the sensation of soone who has started to grasp the Ti Wave, entering the Ti Dao Principle? The Ti Dao Principle is even more difficult than the Life Dao Principle. As long as he fully enters, becoming a registered disciple is no problem..."
But soon, as ti ticked by, the Snake Lady’s expression gradually turned from surprise to astonishnt, and even a hint of ecstatic joy.
...
Within the stone chamber.
"Good, I finally sensed the Ti Wave..."
[Ti Dao Principle: 1/5000 (Beginner)]
Fang Xing sensed an extrely elusive wave and faintly grasped sothing.
He opened his eyes, glanced at the attribute panel, and knew he had entered the Ti Dao Principle.
People exist in this world, sailing across the Ti River, but Ti is more common than air, causing one to subconsciously ignore it.
"My ability to enter is mostly due to the guidance from the ’Qinghua Scroll’... Besides that, this stone chamber seems to have been altered regarding the flow of ti..."
"Next, using the Secret Book inheritance as the mainstay and the anomaly of ti in the stone chamber as a reference... I’ll give it my all."
Fang Xing made up his mind and imrsed himself fully in the Ti Dao Principle.
Ti flows silently, the years pass swiftly...
On this day.
A Black Dragon the size of a cat opened its eyes: "The Ti Dao Principle is indeed profound. After all this ti, I’ve finally reached the state of entry..."
Fang Xing glanced once more at the attribute bar:
[Ti Dao Principle: 1/10000 (Skilled)]
"Less than seven months going from beginner to skilled in the Ti Dao Principle, not bad at all..."
At this mont, he truly understood Ti.
"Unlike the layers of structure of the Void, Ti flows like running water, never returning... What I can do now is very limited... But the Ti Dao Principle has its own unique facets, from shallow to deep, first altering the flow of ti, then stopping it, and at the peak, reversing ti..."
"With my current proficiency, ti reversal and stopping ti are out of the question... I can’t even alter the flow of ti."
Fang Xing looked around at the ti anomalies in the stone chamber and sighed.
Even if Lady Qinghua’s comprehension of the Ti Dao Principle was shallow, it was shallow only for the Heavenly Demons.
To him, it was still a peak to look up to.
If not for ntions in the ’Qinghua Scroll,’ he wouldn’t understand the levels of the Ti Dao Principle so well.
"Even if understanding the Ti Dao Principle is so hard, the Dao of Ti should dominate the past, present, and future... truly an incredibly alluring notion."
Fang Xing’s eyes saw streams of gray Qi: "With my current Black Water mana and the second level of the Ti Dao Principle... I can’t alter the flow of ti in the outside world, but I can affect myself, gaining an incredible combat speed by accelerating myself... The current limit is accelerating my own ti tenfold!"
In combat, even if a cultivator’s ntal speed were ten tis faster, it would be crushing.
If a cultivator were sped up a billion tis, wouldn’t the entire world appear ’frozen’ to him?
"In this way, once I push the Ti Dao Principle to the third level and condensate the ’Ti Heart’, I can attempt to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm and form the ’Candle Dragon Primordial Spirit’..."
For the ordinary Primordial Spirit Realm, any ninth level Mortal Realm cultivator consuming the ’Primordial Spirit Pill’ would have a chance at breaking through, but such a Primordial Spirit is the weakest and hopeless for Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Those true disciples aiming for Great Ability in the Heavenly Immortal Realm would certainly first comprehend their primary Dao Principle to the third level, then cultivate the special Primordial Spirit thod to achieve a Special Primordial Spirit.
In this way, not only would a future breakthrough to Heavenly Immortal be possible, but it also points directly to the Dao!
Though attaining a Special Primordial Spirit would still make becoming a Heavenly Immortal extrely difficult, it wouldn’t be completely hopeless.
"A year is almost up. To have achieved this much already isn’t bad, right?"
Fang Xing subconsciously used ’Ti Acceleration’ on himself.
In this Secret Realm, once deployed, the Realm Spirit Snake Lady would surely notice!
Sure enough!
In the next instant, the heavens and earth changed.
Fang Xing once again stood before the Temple, gazing at the towering statue of Lady Qinghua.
Before him, the Snake Lady in her attendant dress slithered her way out: "Originally, there were other tests... but seeing your talent, they’re not needed. Black Dragon, I ask you... Do you want to beco Lady Qinghua’s True Inheritor?"
"Hmm? Straight to this step?"
Fang Xing was sowhat surprised.
"If you comprehend sothing more powerful than the Life Dao Principle, of course, the requirents change... Generally, comprehending even the basics of the Ti Dao Principle within a year would make you a registered disciple... Reaching Perfection in the First Level makes you an official disciple... But you seem naturally attuned to the Ti Dao Principle, and after attaining Perfection in the First Level, you stepped right into the Second Level without any bottleneck!"
The Snake Lady’s eyes shone: "Do you know, those Great Ability cultivators might be stuck at these bottlenecks for millennia, even enlightennt treasures might not help them break through..."
Fang Xing understood, attributing it to the attribute panel.
Originally, his real aptitude would max him out as a registered disciple.
But with the attribute panel, each day’s comprehension forcefully increased proficiency. Once proficiency maxed out, he effortlessly ascended to the next stage.
To this Snake Lady, it seed quite extraordinary.
Even a Demon Emperor might rush to accept him as a disciple.
"Enough talk... Go and pay your respects!" The Snake Lady’s eyes shone bright and carried a hint of urgency.
"Wait... What about the others? Are they really going to die?"
Fang Xing didn’t care about Ning Qian’s fate, but Song Zhong, as his servant, was quite handy.
"Of course not... I just wanted to scare you."
The Snake Lady blinked, appearing very lively and mischievous: "Lady Qinghua has great love for the world; her lover was from the Human Clan back then. How could she set a rule to kill those who fail the inheritance? If they fail in the end, I’d only drive them away and, at most, erase their mories of accepting the inheritance..."
"Great love?"
Fang Xing’s corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Yes, Lady Qinghua did not harbor hatred even at her fall, just many regrets..."
The Snake Lady appeared deeply sad.
Fang Xing felt that Lady Qinghua seed like a benevolent saint from a past life, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s simple... Since Lady Qinghua was so benevolent and compassionate toward outsiders who failed the inheritance, it stood to reason that she would not force harsh conditions upon her disciples, right?
