Strange phenona filled the sky began to dissipate quickly, even the Spiritual Energy Vortex finally dissipated into nothingness.
"Great Tao Manifestation is, after all, incomplete,"
Shen Yuan sighed as he gently shook his head.
Tao Harmony Stage, just below the Immortal Realm, is the most unique stage, where one who seeks the path can rge with the Dao in this stage, allowing their understanding of the Dao to make rapid progress, and those with extraordinary talent may even ascend to the Immortal Realm in one step.
But rging with the Dao is not without its price, once one decides to rge oneself with the Dao, they determine their fate, and can only choose to follow that one path.
Even if they later master the origin of another Dao, unless they reincarnate and cultivate anew, it is absolutely impossible to change paths.
For ordinary cultivators, this cost is not much, since ordinary cultivators who can grasp a Dao in the Tao Harmony Stage are undoubtedly geniuses, without any possibility of changing paths.
But Shen Yuan was different.
Shen Yuan possessed many Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers, and not all the origins of the Dao he mastered were just one.
If Shen Yuan chose the Path of Refining Elental Qi, his Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power would receive a substantial boost.
In contrast, the Heaven Patching Sun Drenching Great Divine Power and the Rebounding Wind Returning Fire Great Divine Power would be difficult to exert their true might, since Shen Yuan would not be able to delve into the corresponding paths due to his choice.
Choosing one path to rge with the Dao would undoubtedly an severing his future prospects for Shen Yuan.
Therefore, Shen Yuan attempted to forge a different path.
When he rged with the Dao, he chose not a single Dao, but the Great Tao Manifestation he condensed with the Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Great Divine Powers.
The Great Tao Manifestation encompasses many Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers, and once one rges with the Great Tao Manifestation, it ans Shen Yuan can embody multiple Daos and no longer worry about being unable to utilize the might of Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers after choosing a particular Dao.
Over the next several years, Shen Yuan diligently studied the mysteries of rging with the Great Tao Manifestation with his body.
Today was to be the day Shen Yuan confird his achievents, with his breakthrough to Tao Harmony causing phenona to descend from the sky within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, even attracting the investigation of canonical gods on watch from the Upper World.
Such a grand display of phenona represented that Shen Yuan had embarked on a completely different Dao.
But at the final mont, Shen Yuan chose to abandon the nearly complete act of rging with the Dao, exiting the state where the Great Tao Manifestation was integrated with himself.
This was because Shen Yuan realized that the Great Tao Manifestation, based on the Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer, was in an incomplete and imperfect state at the mont.
To rge with such a Great Tao Manifestation would an that its state would be permanently fixed.
Even if one were to acquire the Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers anew, it would not be possible to further advance the Great Tao Manifestation.
So, Shen Yuan gave up the closely-reachable Dao and also forsook the foundation for rging with the Dao granted by heaven and earth.
Although he had successfully entered the Tao Harmony Stage, he lost the blessings of heaven and earth for Tao Harmony.
Regarding this outco, Shen Yuan had no regrets.
Losing the blessings of heaven and earth for Tao Harmony rely reduced the might of so spells that borrowed from the Way of heaven and earth and the future boon of breaking into the Immortal Realm.
Being able to battle Heavenly Immortals in the Void Refining Stage, Shen Yuan did not care for these celestial blessings.
More important to Shen Yuan was preserving the potential growth of the Great Tao Manifestation as well as future opportunities to reach the ultimate summit.
"What does celestial blessing amount to? It can't even compare to one tamorphosis of the Earthly Destroyer, so what is there to lose by giving it up?"
With this thought, Shen Yuan dispersed the Great Tao Manifestation behind him.
In the next mont, Shen Yuan's heart suddenly overflowed with enlightennt.
Normal cultivators, in the Tao Harmony Stage, need to continuously draw upon the Heaven and Earth Dao to bring themselves closer to the Dao, seeking to ascend to the Immortal Realm through this.
Shen Yuan, by choosing to give up at the mont before rging, entered a Tao Harmony Stage distinct from other cultivators, without the step of drawing the Heaven and Earth Dao.
This ant that Shen Yuan reached the peak of Tao Harmony as soon as he entered, and if he so wished, he could ascend to the Immortal Realm in one step.
Heaven, Earth, Human, Ghost, Divine—these five paths appeared at the bottom of Shen Yuan's heart.
When normal cultivators reach the peak of Tao Harmony Stage, depending on their own foundation and the Dao they follow, they evolve into the five paths of Heaven, Earth, Human, Ghost, and Divine.
The vast majority of cultivators, with their cultivation depths, can only choose the paths of Human Immortal and Ghost Immortal.
To beco a Divine Immortal, one must be ordained by the Heavenly Court officials and recorded in the Register of Immortals.
Earth Immortals must master the Spatial Path, able to carve out and nurture a blessed land before ascending to the Immortal Realm, only then may they have the chance to beco an Earth Immortal.
Heavenly Immortals, on the other hand, must evolve a path to its pinnacle, able to replace a region's heavenly and earthly will with themselves, only then can one achieve the status of a Heavenly Immortal.
An exceptional genius capable of stepping into the Heavenly Immortal realm in one stride from the Tao Harmony Stage is so rare that even searching across the myriad worlds for a thousand years might not yield one.
Even in the Upper World, only direct descendants of the Highest Heaven have a chance to ascend to Heavenly Immortal in one step.
The vast majority of beings only start to embark on the path to Heavenly Immortality after stepping into the realm of a Human Immortal through later cultivation.
However, the daunting path of the Heavenly Immortal, which is incredibly difficult for countless beings, poses no challenge to Shen Yuan at all.
With Shen Yuan possessing various Great Tao Origins and the foundation of the Heavenly General-Earthly Destroyer Path manifestation, even without completing the Body rging with Tao, his fundantal strength is still enough to surpass all realms.
The Heavenly Immortal corresponds to the Heaven Patching Sun Drenching Great Divine Power, repairing heaven and earth while taking the place of the heavens.
The Earth Immortal corresponds to the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Great Divine Power, Opening Heaven with Talisman to Create a World.
The Human Immortal corresponds to the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power, "only by following my way does killing beco acts of benevolence."
The Ghost Immortal corresponds to the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power, governing the dark Hell with a fundantal path.
The divine immortal corresponds to the Gods Purging Divine Power, commanding the Incense Offering Divinity Path and directing the canonical gods.
For heaven, earth, man, ghost, and divine, there's a corresponding path, and as long as Shen Yuan wishes, he can ascend to the Heavenly Immortal realm at any ti.
Within his grotto residence, Shen Yuan's gaze was steady as a hint of intent slowly erged in his heart.
To give up on Body rging with Tao and surpass the many limitations of the Tao Harmony Stage, even directly ascending to the Immortal Realm in one step, was sothing Shen Yuan hadn't anticipated at all.
"If I could ascend to the Heavenly Immortal realm in one step, I would be among the peak powerhouses within the Primal Chaos Realm.
Furthermore, wielding the Mortal Path's influence I control, I would completely have the opportunity to confront the Great Yin Imperial Dynasty head-on and reveal the true face of that puppet Mortal Emperor."
"Moreover, reaching this realm and returning to the Primal Chaos Realm would also grant the confidence to lay out plans against the Primal Chaos and confront Golden Immortal Bai Yun."
With these thoughts, a sense of eagerness inevitably rose from the depths of Shen Yuan's heart.
At that mont, the Divine Capacity Seed of the See Through The Wall Great Divine Power trembled lightly, and a historical airflow that Shen Yuan was all too familiar with appeared inside the grotto residence.
This was the first ti the See Through The Wall Great Divine Power had brought Shen Yuan a ssage by transcending history.
Shen Yuan hadn't even entered the first stage of the See Through The Wall Great Divine Power and could not truly observe all causes and effects across the myriad worlds of Yanfu.
Only when it concerned Shen Yuan's personal interests would the See Through The Wall Great Divine Power provide such feedback.
Fragnts of information materialized before Shen Yuan's eyes, and on touching them, he encountered a secret lost in the course of history.
On a page of an ancient, incomplete book, the Dragon Scroll of Phoenix Seal clearly recorded a sentence.
"Heavenly Immortal is not the ultimate in the Immortal Realm. One can rge the five paths of heaven, earth, man, ghost, and divine to step directly into the realm of Major Heavenly Immortal and attain transcendence!"
The next mont, the Dragon Scroll of Phoenix Seal faded quietly away, and the historical airflow within the grotto residence settled down.
"Is this a warning from the Heavenly General Great Divine Power for not to rush, that there is an opportunity in the future to achieve the stage of Major Heavenly Immortal?"
A flicker of realization lit up in Shen Yuan's heart.
"In fact, the five paths of heaven, earth, man, ghost, and divine are just different manifestations of the Immortal Realm. Although there is a hierarchy, they all ultimately belong to the sa realm.
Similarly, the Major Heavenly Immortal, while far superior to the average Heavenly Immortal, is still within the realm of Heavenly Immortals and has not stepped into the Eternal Dao.
If cultivators can step directly into the realm of Heavenly Immortal in one stride, then why can't they directly step into the extre realm of Major Heavenly Immortals?
If what the Dragon Scroll of Phoenix Seal says is true, there must be a hidden secret behind it, perhaps related to that phrase about attaining transcendence?"
With that thought, Shen Yuan abandoned the idea of becoming a Heavenly Immortal in one step.
Just then, the warning Formation outside the grotto residence was triggered, and a Ghost Immortal at the Void Refining Stage appeared outside the grotto residence.
This Ghost Immortal was dressed in dark robes, his pale face showing respectful deanor.
"Netherworld Commander Bull Head invites the High God to the Dao Assembly for a discussion!"
