Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect
Chapter 61 [Netherworld Cave Opens, Daluo Dao Fruit] (7th Update)

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 [Netherworld Cave Opens, Daluo Dao Fruit] (7th Update)

Xuanqing’s divine thought split into myriad strands, noticing the subtle and revealing the obvious, quickly locating the Yin Yang portal, from which a hint of otherworldly Qi faintly emerged.

"Thunder comes!"

After discovering the Yin Yang portal, Xuanqing immediately summoned the "Purple Lightning Hammer", channeling the power of the "Innate Thunder Pool", and ferociously struck towards the void node.

In an instant, the void trembled, the ground shook and the mountains swayed, thunder roared, and lightning danced wildly, but even with his full-force strike, he failed to completely penetrate the portal between the two worlds.

Only traces of Netherworld energy leaked out through the fragile node in the void.

"Is my strength insufficient?"

"Or is it not yet time for the World of Darkness to emerge?"

Xuanqing’s gaze hardened as he once again urged the "Purple Lightning Hammer", transforming tens of thousands of thunderbolts into various Thunder Spirits, bombarding the fragile node in the void.

Boom!

The thunder shook the eight wastelands, and the sound traveled through the Nine Heavens.

The massive booming echoed between heaven and earth, and no matter how Xuanqing acted, or how much Heaven and Earth Power he harnessed, there was no sign of the pathway between the two worlds being breached.

"Not becoming a Daluo, there’s still something lacking!" After several attempts, Xuanqing couldn’t help but sigh, "If I were to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, commanding the Devastating Divine Thunder, summoning myriad thunders, I could definitely force my way through the portal!"

The Thunder Skill is vast, and the "Devastating Divine Thunder" is the Heavenly Creation Thunder, known as the origin of all thunders; not to mention penetrating two worlds, even creating a new world would be easy.

With the Yin Yang portal right in front of him, Xuanqing naturally did not want to give up, so he immediately sat in meditation on the pinnacle of Mount Tai, attempting to comprehend the various Divine Thunders in the "Innate Thunder Pool" that he had not yet mastered, while also trying to break through to Daluo.

His foundation was already sufficient, having been suppressed only to lay a proper groundwork.

But now, having reached extremely high realms in the Dao of thunder, fire, plague, and wind, continuing to suppress his realm would be counterproductive!

He never forgot that his core Dao is the Refining Dao—Refining Thunder, Fire Refining, Refining Plague, Refining Wind, Artifact Refining... all aimed at understanding the mysteries of the Refining Dao.

"Refine for me!"

Xuanqing bellowed and immediately used all his mana to refine the four top-notch Divine Thunders in the "Innate Thunder Pool" that he had not fully comprehended and refined yet.

From the Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure "Purple Lightning Hammer", comes the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" known as the Heavenly Dao’s thunder.

From "Ancestor Witch of Lightning" Xiz, come the "Red Abyss Divine Thunder" and "Azure Darkness Divine Thunder" with the power to subdue demons and refine evil Qi.

From "Ancestor Witch of Thunder" Qiang Liang, comes the "Devastating Divine Thunder", acclaimed as the origin of all thunders.

Soon, thirty thousand years passed.

On Xuanqing’s body, the sound of thunder rumbling arose, and the four great authorities of wind, fire, thunder, and plague intertwined, evolving into a terrifying Dao essence that could refine all things in heaven and earth.

He had refined the four Divine Thunders.

His spirit, vitality, and essence also reached ultimate perfection; the "Dao Trees" in his Inner Scenery Land, symbolizing various Great Daos, broke through in an instant to a height of thirty thousand zhang.

Based on the Refining Dao, with multiple Innate Great Daos such as Innate Eight Diagrams, Innate Yi Dao, etc., as well as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Refining Arrays and other several Acquired Daos as symbols that encompass the universe and blend all things, the Three Flowers of spirit, vitality, and essence, nourished by an endless stream of Dao essence, instantly bloomed into Ninth Grade Dao Flowers.

Above the Dao Flowers, various Great Dao truths converged into a celebratory cloud, lifting a flawless Dao Fruit.

Daluo, was achieved!

"Boom!"

As Xuanqing broke through to the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal, a calamitous cloud appeared abruptly above his head, and the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" was faintly visible within it.

"Good timing!"

As the heavenly tribulation charged up, ready to strike, Xuanqing was not worried but joyful instead, with the "Innate Thunder Pool" in his Purple Mansion directly manifesting in the universe in accordance with his will.

"Swallow for me!"

Under Xuanqing’s manipulation, the "Innate Thunder Pool" instantly transformed into the "Creation Furnace", with the power of the heavenly tribulation serving as the force to drive the furnace.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

It seemed to sense Xuanqing’s provocation, the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" he faced was several times more powerful and on a larger scale than that which Daoist Duobao had faced.

Xuanqing welcomed all comers.

Hundreds of "Purple Cloud Divine Thunders" fell into the "Innate Thunder Pool," and the boundless heavenly might surged wildly, causing this supreme treasure of the Thunder Skill to start spinning crazily.

The various types of Innate Divine Thunders contained within were directly ground into Innate Origin, with only the "Devastating Divine Thunder" still maintaining its initial might.

Seeing this, the essence of these thunderbolts immediately moved toward the "Devastating Divine Thunder." In just an instant, several types of Innate Divine Thunders merged with the "Devastating Divine Thunder."

After half a day, the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" had transformed into a sea of lightning, and the "Devastating Divine Thunder" had swallowed all other Innate Divine Thunders.

Within the "Innate Thunder Pool," the two types of Divine Thunders stood in opposition— the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" with its vast heavenly might, while the "Devastating Divine Thunder" was as immovable as a mountain.

Soon, the "Devastating Divine Thunder" began to take the offensive, devouring the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder," refining the myriad forms of time and space, and revealing a might capable of creating and splitting heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

With continuous thunderous roars, as the heavenly tribulation dissipated, the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" became rootless water, and the "Devastating Divine Thunder" suddenly erupted with a force that obliterated everything.

Another half day passed, and in Xuanqing’s "Innate Thunder Pool," only the "Devastating Divine Thunder" remained, which was now several times more potent than the one Qiang Liang had given, now containing a trace of "Primordial Killing Intent" and a surge of the "Heavenly Creation and Earth-breaking Sentiment" constantly flowing through the essence of the Divine Thunder!

At this point, the "Devastating Divine Thunder" was infinitely close to the origin of all thunders, containing endless might, perhaps just slightly less than the Divine Thunders prompted by Pangu himself during the opening of the Primordial era.

Setting aside the sheer power for a moment — that was dependent on Xuanqing’s own realm.

Naturally, he was not on par with Pangu.

But just in terms of sentiment and origin, the "Devastating Divine Thunder" was infinitely close to that prompted by Pangu himself, possessing at least ninety percent of the same vigor Pangu had.

"Hold my head high under the vault of heaven, and regard the common crowd with disdain; the world is my track for it can’t restrain. With lofty aspirations, I devour mountains and crags; I tread on the galaxy and arrogantly roam through space. Why should my proud bones ever bow to heaven? With sheer spirit, I dare to collide with the Golden Bell! All of Qiankun seems like tiny seeds; it’s only I who ascends the Nine Heavens at will!"

Having broken through to the Daluo level, bloomed the Ninth Grade, and successfully condensed the origin of myriad thunders, Xuanqing couldn’t help but feel exultant and hurled the "Devastating Divine Thunder" at the portal between Yin and Yang.

Boom!

The force of Heavenly Creation and Earth-breaking manifested, Divine Thunder destroyed all, like a Chaotic Universe bursting with Primordial Killing Intent, and the originally frail void node was, under the might of Divine Thunder, obliterated into countless fragments of void.

This was the Heavenly Creation Thunder; this was the Earth-breaking Tribulation. It’s the process from nothing to everything, the evolution of all things, similar to the unstoppable momentum of the Heavenly Dao.

Even with the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal, unable to fully unleash the mysteries of the "Devastating Divine Thunder," Xuanqing easily pierced through the portal between the Yin Yang Two Realms.

In an instant, the portal to the Netherworld flung open. Not even the weight of Mount Tai could suppress the surge of the Evil Qi within, and a startling beam of light shot straight into the sky.

"Not good!"

Xuanqing hadn’t expected that revealing just the tip of the iceberg of the World of Darkness would wield such might. He quickly urged the "Mountain and River Map" to forcefully suppress it.

The World of Darkness at this moment was an unexplored treasure land; he had plans to explore it first and couldn’t let the powers within the Primordial detect it!

Fortunately, the "Mountain and River Map" contained a trace of Saintly Dao essence, capable of suppressing everything; it managed to barely contain the abnormal phenomena of the World of Darkness from appearing.

However, the outpouring of Evil Qi had not ended; it was even more turbulent, as Xuanqing forcibly redirected it into the "Mountain and River Map"!

This Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, with its embedded Qiankun World, boundless and limitless, capable of trapping Saints and devouring this surge of Evil Qi, was not an issue.

After a hundred years passed, the Netherworld finally ceased releasing Evil Qi. It seemed to have released all the accumulated Evil Qi from the creation of heaven and earth, and a towering portal slowly materialized within Mount Tai, its contained Evil Qi nearly substantial.

Beyond the portal was a vast world, devoid of sun or light, with mountains formed from Chaos Qi and countless surges of Yin Qi.

"What a great opportunity!"

Xuanqing immediately headed towards the portal.
