Chapter 1589 - Chapter 1589 Chapter 680 Tao Skills Conception The Beginning

Chapter 1589: Chapter 680: Tao Skills Conception, The Beginning of Law Creation_2 Chapter 1589: Chapter 680: Tao Skills Conception, The Beginning of Law Creation_2 Houtu didn’t hide anything, “Indeed, I made a bounteous harvest; I sold the Origin Crystals and bought two Tao Artifacts and many Tao Realm Talismans. If I encounter the Tricksters again, I definitely won’t be as powerless to defend myself as I was before.”

After listening, Han Yi inwardly cried over the wastefulness, but he himself only had Yue Guang and Gluttonous Sacrifice that was valuable enough to offset the value of the Origin Crystals, and he couldn’t possibly part with either of them. Therefore, even if he wanted to purchase the Origin Crystals from Houtu, he couldn’t afford them.

Unlike Han Yi, Houtu had great combat power and could face the second step of the Tao Realm without faltering. For Houtu, who had weak combat strength, exchanging the Origin Crystals for an increase in combat power was the most rational choice.

“Did Taoist Han buy the Ten Thousand Travel Command?” Houtu asked.

Han Yi nodded his head and informed Houtu about the process of purchasing the Ten Thousand Travel Command, to which Houtu suddenly understood, “It belongs to those who are destined, I see.”

“No wonder the Ten Thousand Travel Palace never lacks visitors; in the Fuheng Taoist Area, there are too many Tao Realms, which have had contact with this palace.”

“By the way, next, I plan to find a Cave Mansion in this Traveling Palace, cultivate for a hundred years, and then return to the Ancient Great World after the hundred years. What are your plans, Taoist Han?”

Han Yi fell silent for a moment before shaking his head, “A hundred years is too long; I might have to leave halfway through.”

He wasn’t alone and unattached and couldn’t wander aimlessly like Houtu Taoist Ancestor; he needed to return to the Age Candle Immortal Court.

However, he had just purchased three items, so of course, he wanted to use this opportunity to digest his new acquisitions and improve his strength before leaving, but he wasn’t certain how long this would take; hence, he couldn’t promise Houtu Taoist Ancestor to return to the Ancient Great World together after a hundred years.

Houtu Taoist Ancestor wasn’t surprised by this.

“Then let’s first find a Cave Mansion to settle down. If it’s not a hundred years, and you want to return to the Ancient Great, just let me know. If I am in secluded cultivation and don’t respond, you can leave on your own, without waiting for me. How does that sound?”

Han Yi agreed; this arrangement was the best.

He actually really wanted Houtu to return to the Ancient Great World. With the Huangting Immortal Court fallen, Houtu would have no place to return to, and he could persuade him to join Age Candle, thus enhancing the Tao Realm strength of the Age Candle Immortal Court.

A moment later.

They found a Cave Mansion, paid a sum of Tao Crystals, and rented two adjacent Cave Mansions.

After entering the Cave Mansion, Han Yi inspected it and found it was not large, only about a thousand square feet. To beings of the Tao Realm, this was rather modest, but within the Cave Mansion, a rich Taoism lingered, which greatly amplified the cultivation of those in the Tao Realm.

He was very satisfied with this Cave Mansion.

After activating the protective restrictions that came with the Cave Mansion, Han Yi took out the items he had bought from the Wanbao Tower, and then with a wave of his hand, the Green Reed Sword was also brought out from the Tao Domain.

The Qingping lightly trembled and landed on top of the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram, a green sword radiance rippling out, but it could not stir even a ripple in the diagram.

This Array Diagram, just as the septuagenarian shopkeeper of the Wanbao Tower said, was seriously damaged.

It wasn’t until now that Han Yi had time to properly examine the Array Diagram.

At first glance, it was a long rectangular piece of paper that had been torn in half, about one inch thick, around two feet long, and roughly one foot wide. On each side of the paper, a sword that could fit in the palm of a hand was depicted, although the images were blurred and not very clear.

Han Yi remained silent; if the diagram before him truly was the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram, restoring its might was indeed an arduous task.

Seeing that the Sword Light could not activate any remaining power in the damaged diagram, the Green Reed Sword conveyed its thoughts to Han Yi.

“The Array Diagram is incomplete; if the other half could be found, then part of its power could be restored. Afterward, if we could find the Exterminating Immortal Four Swords, or forge them anew, and stimulate them using the diagram, then there must be a power capable of shaking the heavens.”

Han Yi nodded, keeping the information conveyed by the Green Reed Sword’s thoughts in mind.

He also knew that if the Array Diagram could be restored, its power would be unimaginable. After all, the Exterminating Immortal Four Swords coupled with the Array Diagram constituted a Chaos Tao Artifact, which is equivalent to a weapon of the Heavenly Venerate level, and furthermore, it was a complete set. He coveted it deeply.

But with his current strength and financial resources, acquiring a complete Exterminating Immortal Sword Array was simply wishful thinking.

He then took out the Daoxuan Core Essence he had just purchased. This essence was kept in a specially treated jade bottle. He poured it out and then called over the Green Reed Sword to absorb this semi-solid special material.

He had bought the Daoxuan Core Essence specifically for the Green Reed Sword. This material had a huge effect on the growth of ordinary Immortal Artifacts, and the Green Reed Sword, being an eighth-grade Immortal Sword, would surely ascend to the ninth-grade after absorbing this bottle of Daoxuan Core Essence.

In the future, if he had the chance, he would also strive to elevate it to a Tao Artifact.

After the Green Reed Sword absorbed the Daoxuan Core Essence, its Sword Spirit fully converged, and began refining the core essence. Han Yi then retracted it back into the Tao Domain.

Next,

he took out the Selfless Demon Sword and fed it the Black Demon Emperor Fluid, allowing the sword to devour it. This Demon Sword was already considered a Tao Sword, but it was only a newly born Tao Sword. Compared to other Tao Artifacts, it was relatively fragile, which is why he purchased this precious item.

The Black Demon Emperor Fluid cost him 1300 Tao Crystals, far more valuable than the Daoxuan Core Essence and the damaged Immortal Slaying Array Diagram. Han Yi had high hopes for it.

After taking the Selfless Demon Sword, which was refining the Black Demon Emperor Fluid, into his Divine Aperture, Han Yi began to assess his current combat power.

Unlike before when he had not reached the Tao Realm and his path as part of the Divine Clan was obstructed, his Immortal Skills and techniques had been ahead of his Realm. His powerful Immortal Skills allowed him to overcome stronger opponents while being weaker himself.

However, after his journey through the Wisdom Realm and relics of the Fire Hell, he gained hundreds of thousands of Life Seeds, most of which enhanced his Realm, breaking through from Creation to Infinite, and from Immortal Venerate to the Tao Realm.

In less than a hundred years, his Realm surpassed his Immortal Skills, and now, his Immortal Skills could not keep up.

His strongest technique now was the Sword Radiance, evolved from the Three Thousand Sword Realm.

By using ninety-nine ninth-order Immortal Swords to activate the Three Thousand Sword Realm, he could unleash the Tao Skill: Sword Radiance. Although such a technique met the threshold of a Tao Skill and was invincible against Immortal Venerates or those half-step into the Tao Realm, it was not enough against a true Tao Realm opponent.

Therefore, the urgent need before him was to elevate his Immortal Skills to the level of Tao Skills.

Sword Control, Mental Realm, Ten Forms, Sword Realm…

Among these, Sword Control, Sword Realm, and Mental Realm were the foundations of his combat power and needed priority consideration, while Ten Forms was supplementary and could be deferred.

With a thought, his consciousness stepped into the dark space where an ancient and enormous netherworld book lay stretched out before him.

The Wan Ming Tome.

Han Yi’s consciousness condensed into a black shadow on the first page of the opened Wan Ming Tome, but no such shadow existed beside him, only the most abstract forms to the point of being ethereal.

He attempted to summon, but there was no response for a long time.

“Not enough, the strength is not enough.”

“The Ten Thousand Travel Palace is too far from the Ancient Great World, so distant that even though I’ve been promoted to a high-stage Nether General and set foot in the Tao Realm, I still cannot sense the Wan Ming Incarnation.”

“Perhaps, once I am promoted to Heavenly Sovereign and gain a higher mastery over the Wan Ming Tome as a Nether Lord, even separated by the entire Fuheng Taoist Area, I will be able to sense all Wan Ming Incarnations.”

Withdrawing his consciousness from the Wan Ming space and returning to reality,

Han Yi took out the “Huangting Scripture,” beginning to ponder its mysteries. This scripture was initially intended to be given to the Houtu Taoist Ancestor, but since the Houtu Taoist Ancestor was traversing Chaos, it would be better for him to bring it back to the Ancient Great World and pass it down for Huangting Dao to return to Daluo.

His study of this Tao scripture was naturally for the sake of Tao Fruit.

The Cave Mansion was rich with Taoism, and studying Tao Fruit had a significant effect on beings in the Tao Realm.

Han Yi’s current cultivation still relied on the Miluo Hunyuan True Scripture. If he made this scripture the mainstay, incorporating all he had learned and realized, he could create a mystical ‘Law’ that encompassed all he cultivated. Then, the Tao Fruits born from this ‘Law’ could be called Miluo Hunyuan Tao Fruits.

Of course, even if other Tao Realm beings practiced the same True Scripture and condensed Miluo Hunyuan Tao Fruits, Han Yi’s Tao Fruit would be different due to his unique learnings, creations, and therefore inherently distinct.

It could even be said with certainty that within the nine Chaos Dao Domains, despite many Tao Fruits sharing the same name, there were no two identical Tao Fruits.

Of course.

Han Yi had only just stepped into the Tao Realm, and his understanding of Tao Fruits was not profound. He might abandon this True Scripture midway, creating a new one with a different foundation, or forge his own unique True Scripture as the basis for his creations.

And he had learned that over eighty percent of beings in the second step of the Tao Realm set aside other True Scriptures to create their own, reaching all the way to the Tao Realm, from which they derived their Laws and then condensed stable and imperishable Tao Fruits, thus stepping into the second step of the Tao Realm.

Moreover, the process from Law Creation to the condensing of Tao Fruits was incredibly lengthy. For example, the Calamity Tao Ancestor of Age Candle spent nearly half a Chaos Era, tens of thousands of years, and still had not fully condensed his Tao Fruit.

Han Yi knew that such matters could not be rushed.
