Dao Consistency: Five Treasures Taiyi Bagua Refining Artifact Path (10th Rank)

Divine Powers: Eight Trigrams Gourd, Nine Suns Purple Gold Spirit Fire...

Note: Originally a monk who failed the Five Qi Towards the Yuan, he sealed himself with a spirit treasure using a special secret method when his cultivation dropped, locking his nascent Dao power state. Drawing power from the treasure and using the spirit treasure as a foundation, he achieved the peculiar Golden Immortal Artifact Cultivation.

Although he thereby created a rather shabby Golden Immortal ranking, he also avoided the outcome of being crippled or falling dead on the spot, which can be considered a peculiar display of talent.

However, his luck is a cause for concern. Due to good luck, he embarked on this path, but it was the same diminishing luck that shook his foundation, breaking the fragile balance and once again causing Dao Pollution.

Spirit Treasure Mutation: Because he infused all of himself into a spirit treasure and thus achieved Golden Immortal by borrowing its rank, he was able to attain Dao. Now, for this act, he has staked everything.

The spirit treasure, corroded by pollution, has mutated its spirit nature and rebelled against him.

Note: Once the host dies completely, the spirit treasure will initiate a complete mutation. Under the special blessings of Dao Pollution, it may give birth to either a powerful or peculiar evil spirit. Please handle with caution and eradicate early!

...

Wang Zijia looked at the information compiled, especially those hundreds of abnormal status weights, and was utterly speechless.

This couldn’t even be described as a mess!

That this guy was still alive was simply a miracle of life, and Wang Zijia admired his resilience!

To know, such a state meant that he was constantly enduring torment so terrible that it tore and devoured his life, Dao Consistency, soul, and everything else.

It was countless times more terrifying than soul-extracting and body-refining!

It goes without saying that those who can become Golden Immortals are steadfast in their Dao hearts!

...

"How is it, how’s the situation with our ancestral founder?" Qi Baidao saw Wang Zijia suddenly stop his actions, stunned for a while without speaking, and couldn’t help but ask.

Wang Zijia came back to his senses slightly but didn’t immediately answer the other’s question; instead, he responded with a seemingly irrelevant question, "What was the secret method you mentioned earlier?"

This sudden change of subject caught Qi Baidao off guard, and then he was pleased and hurriedly said, "Does Fellow Daoist know of our sect’s roots?"

Over the years, due to rapid progress in cultivation, Wang Zijia had made it a daily habit to store up various cultivation knowledge, secret tales, sect information, and biographies of major figures.

Although he couldn’t compare in depth to Immortals who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, with the vast platform of Taiching Palace and unrestricted access to the information library, Wang Zijia already had a passable, even rich, reserve of basic knowledge.

So after a little pondering, information about the Baiqi Sect surfaced in Wang Zijia’s mind, including related rumors, after all, An Xingsheng liked to provide him with odd tales and trendy storybooks during his idle times.

Wang Zijia nodded and replied, "I’ve heard a bit, it’s said your sect has inherited from ancient times and was the follower of the Artifact Path during the Second Epoch’s period of ’All Dao Competing’. After integrating Artifact Path into the Immortal Path through many twists and turns, today’s Baiqi Sect was formed, correct?"

When Qi Baidao heard this, his tone contained an indiscernible pride as he said, "That’s right, what Fellow Daoist has heard is not a rumor; our sect truly descends from the direct line of the ancient Artifact Path."

Wang Zijia did not interrupt, waiting for the continuation. He didn’t care whether the other party’s sect was that follower or not.

After a brief pause, Qi Baidao continued, "It’s said that before the fusion of the Artifact Path and Immortal Path in ancient times, they were very compatible; hence later on, the Artifact Path became a pillar of Immortal Path techniques."

"Especially before the Profound Immortal Realm, there was a high level of compatibility. The fundamental difference between the Artifact Path and Immortal Path lies in the attainment of Golden Immortal."

"In ancient times, when one was a Profound Immortal, they would search for the Five Big Spirit Objects to transform into Spiritual Energy for the Five Qi Towards the Yuan, to carry the Dao Charm, to nurture Dao power- that is the mark of a Qi Cultivation master, that is, an Immortal."

"After a great practitioner of Artifact Path achieves Profound Immortal, to condense Dao power and accomplish Golden Immortal status, they need to search for a World Spirit Treasure to carry their goodness, evil, and true self in order to condense Dao power."

Hearing this, Wang Zijia paused for a moment, surprised and said, "Ancient tales talk of Beheading the Corpse to prove Dao and achieve the pseudo-saintly state of Golden Immortal?"

"No wonder Fellow Daoist Chi Yang, being of the Ancient Imperial Clan, has such broad knowledge. That’s right, the fundamental difference between ancient tool cultivators and immortal cultivators is the Beheading the Corpse Technique, with the spirit treasure bearing oneself."

After praising Wang Zijia, Qi Baidao continued, "After the Artifact Path integrated into the Immortal Path, the art of beheading the corpse was abolished, or rather, phased out. After all, how precious and hard to find are spirit treasures? And you need three per person to be satisfied!"

"Such tremendous investment was bound to be eliminated. Everyone began to use Spirit Objects to transform Qi to carry the Great Dao, ultimately cultivating themselves to pluck the Tao Fruit by enacting the Five Qi Towards the Yuan."

"In that era, the world was abundant and full of Spirit Objects, and this method was indeed the most innovative, advanced, and supreme law."

"However, as times changed and Spirit Objects gradually depleted, predecessors began to seek out other methods, and my sect was no exception. Some of the ancient inheritances that were not severed came to light and were researched anew."
