Chapter 1607 - Chapter 1607 Chapter 689 Making a Name in the Extreme Ancient

Chapter 1607: Chapter 689: Making a Name in the Extreme Ancient, Ancient Candle Formation_2 Chapter 1607: Chapter 689: Making a Name in the Extreme Ancient, Ancient Candle Formation_2 Han Yi didn’t recall the four swords; instead, his expression turned solemn as he looked in the direction of the Void Demon Palace.

He stood quietly for a while, seeing that the Void Demon Palace showed no signs of reaction from more powerful External Dao Level beings or even any External Dao Level existence, he couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved as he pondered the situation with a hint of confusion.

Since he had taken action, he had a comprehensive response strategy in place. He remained unfazed when facing a Dao Fruit Level, yet against an External Dao Level being, he was certain he would be defeated. Nevertheless, he had planned to make a move, burning Life Seeds, employing the powers of three systems, and unleashing the force of the Yue Guang Divine Spear in a desperate fight against the External Dao.

Even if he was weaker than the opponent, he was determined to tear off a piece of flesh from them.

Afterward, of course, he wouldn’t gamble with his life but would flee back to the Immortal Court, where he would use the Tao Array left by the Sui Zhu Heavenly Venerate to confront the External Dao existence and hold on until the Heavenly Sovereign returned.

Under such circumstances, he was expecting to face severe difficulties ahead, but he was mentally prepared for them.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Void Demon Palace remained eerily quiet, with no response for quite some time, which naturally meant no one would appear anymore.

This took him by surprise and discreetly brought him some relief. He speculated that the External Dao Level Great Elder must have stepped into Chaos to contemplate the Eternal Tao Trace.

This was better, preventing escalation of the battle and giving Sui Zhu, as well as himself, a bit more time.

A moment later.

He retracted the four Tao Swords, carrying them on his back, then looked around, taking in all the beings that had turned their gazes toward him. He noticed that the attention for this battle was not just from the natives of Daluo but also from other territories.

Immediately.

He no longer directed his attention to the giant Demon Corpse below but turned around and within a few breaths, returned to the Candle Hall.

In the high skies of Sui Zhu.

The actual body of the Myriad Calamities Dao Ancestor presided over the area. Upon seeing Han Yi, Myriad Calamities’ expression showed shock as well as great joy.

“Good, good, good!”

“You are truly worthy, truly worthy indeed.”

“With the Heavenly Sovereign absent and you here, I have no worries for Sui Zhu.”

Even Myriad Calamities was shocked by Han Yi’s sudden outburst.

Han Yi’s journey to the north had no sense of tragic resolve because the time was too pressing; as soon as Xuan Zang fell, the crisis loomed immediately, leaving hardly any time for the Immortal Court to respond.

Even Myriad Calamities harbored some bleak premonitions.

But unexpectedly, instead of disaster, what came was a pleasant surprise, an immense one at that.

Even he could not recall how many times his heart had been pleasantly surprised because of Han Yi.

Han Yi nodded and said, “Next, Dao brother should rest for a while and see if there are any ways to rescue Xuan Zang. As for the Immortal Court, I shall preside over it.”

Seeing the determination in Han Yi’s eyes, Myriad Calamities understood that Han Yi was ready to take on the responsibility of guarding the Immortal Court and nodded earnestly.

First, he descended from the high skies, bringing Han Yi back to the Age Candle Hall, and then took out a purple-mystery-colored square seal from his person, handing it to Han Yi.

“This is the Ancient Candle Seal, the core of this Tao Array.”

“This Tao Array, named the Ancient Candle Myriad Lifetimes Xuanjing Tao Array, has been modified and arranged by the Heavenly Sovereign. As long as a Tao Realm sits in command and it is not under joint internal and external siege, even an External Dao Level, or even an Integration Dao Level existence, attacking continuously, it can hold out for tens of thousands of years in its fully active state.”

“Moreover, once the Array comes under attack, the Heavenly Sovereign will instantly be alerted, even if he is in another Tao Domain.”

“Of course, if it withstands a powerful assault and is fully activated, all the energy from the Tao veins and Immortal Veins within the Immortal Court will be drawn out to resist the attack. Therefore, except for a few individuals, the cultivation of others will be greatly impacted, even making no progress. So unless absolutely necessary, the Array must not be fully activated.”

Myriad Calamities Dao Ancestor then secretly shared the secret method to refine the Ancient Candle Seal, stepping aside afterward.

Han Yi understood and with a thought, began to refine the ancient seal using the special method taught by Myriad Calamities.

Just an hour later, he could sense all the energy of the entire Immortal Court through this ancient seal and could manipulate it as needed.

This power was so immense that even Han Yi found it difficult to fully harness.

After seeing Han Yi’s initial refining and control of the Ancient Candle Seal, the Myriad Calamities Taoist Ancestor explained, “It is not easy to completely refine this ancient seal. It took me a thousand years to do so.”

“However, being able to refine it to a basic level, you can also call upon a part of the Immortal Court’s energy to withstand beings of the External Dao Level for several moments without a problem.”

“Next, Han Yi, you will continue refining the Ancient Candle Seal while stationed here; I will go down to investigate methods to heal Brother Xuan Zang.”

Han Yi agreed, and with a flicker of his form, the Myriad Calamities Taoist Ancestor left the Age Candle Hall and went to the Xuancang Palace, preparing to delve deeply into the investigation of the injuries suffered by Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor.

Inside the Age Candle Hall,

Han Yi placed the Ancient Candle Seal in front of him. As he delved deeper into its refinement, he could increasingly sense the powerful Daoism that pervaded the Immortal Court. He had not tried it, but believed that if he were to confront this Daoism directly, it would be utterly unbreakable.

This had been personally laid down by the Heavenly Sovereign.

Han Yi indirectly felt the supreme majesty of the Heavenly Sovereign.

While refining the Ancient Candle Seal, he also diverted some of his attention to refining the four Tao Swords he had acquired from the Immortal Court. With his No Return Demon Sword damaged, if he were to face a Dao Fruit Level being again, he would definitely be insufficient in strength.

Therefore, it was imperative for him to refine new Tao Swords.

Moreover,

The levels of these four Tao Swords varied, with the strongest of them being a Middle-Stage Tao Sword, fitting for beings at the Dao Fruit Level. The rest were Low-Level Tao Swords, but even these were much more powerful than the No Return Demon Sword, which had only recently advanced to the status of a Tao Sword.

For a Tao Sword, every stage was like a chasm; a Middle-Stage Tao Sword was much more powerful than a Low-Level one.

Han Yi tried to refine the Middle-Stage Tao Sword first, but with his current cultivation and relying solely on himself, even using the Proficiency Panel and wielding magical Tao Skills such as Sword Control, he couldn’t completely refine it for a long time.

After weighing his options, he decided not to burn Life Seeds but turned to refining the other three Low-Level Tao Swords.

This time, it took him only ten years to completely refine one of the Low-Level Tao Swords.

In the following years, roughly every ten years, he managed to refine another sword. Once the three Low-Level Tao Swords were refined, he turned to focus on the Middle-Stage Tao Sword.

Three hundred years later,

Han Yi finally completed the refining of the Middle-Stage Tao Sword. At this point, aside from the severely damaged No Return Demon Sword and the Blood Sword yet to undergo complete transformation, he now possessed four true Tao Swords.

Middle-Stage, Evil Burial Sword; Low-Level, No Return Sword, Plain Profundity Sword, and Nether Abyss Sword.

In these three hundred years, the Age Candle saw no turbulence due to the fall of Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor three hundred years ago; on the contrary, due to Han Yi’s slaying of the Void Demon Tao Fruit, it flourished even more.

This was relatively good news, but the bad news was that the injuries suffered by Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor were quite severe. Myriad Calamities Taoist Ancestor even sought external help, calling upon Luo Tian Daoist Ancestor. Using the Luotian Calculation Classic, they could not find a cure.

Luo Tian Daoist Ancestor asserted that only upon the return of the Heavenly Sovereign could there be a chance to heal Xuan Zang’s injuries, and Myriad Calamities had no choice but to return.

Luo Tian Daoist Ancestor had ascended to the External Path, and was proficient in the art of divination, that he could even deduce remedies; yet even he could not provide a definitive solution, leaving them no choice but to wait for the Heavenly Sovereign’s return.

Three hundred years later, with control over the four Tao Swords and a further step in combat power, Han Yi began to focus on the Tao scripture he practiced.

[Miluo Profound Truth Tao Scripture (30/100)].

This Tao scripture was the foundation of his Dao Fruit. As he practiced the Tao Realm, his Miluo Profound Truth Tao Fruit would gradually manifest. As the scripture reached a new level, the Tao Fruit would fully form.

Three thousand years ago, Han Yi divided this scripture into twelve realms. The first realm corresponded with the Qi Cultivation Chapter, the second with the Foundation Establishment Chapter, and so on until the eleventh realm matched the Daluo Chapter, while the twelfth realm was the one he currently practiced.

He then distributed these twelve realms to his numerous Wan Ming Incarnations for them to practice and provide skill levels, with the levels converging in a pyramid structure, gradually accumulating to drive the progression of the twelfth realm–the one he was currently practicing.

Now, his Wan Ming Incarnations had broken through the hundred million mark, among which even the Immortal Venerates exceeded twenty. The skill levels provided by these powerful cultivators accumulated bit by bit until they became a mountain, a profound abyss, gathering to evolve his current Tao chapter at a pace far exceeding his expectations.

Over these three thousand years, the progression had reached 30/100, meaning, under normal circumstances, it would take another seven thousand years for him to fully perfect this scripture, to form his Tao Fruit, and to step into the second phase of the Tao Realm, the Dao Fruit Level.
