Chapter 521: Inheritance, A Millennium of Struggle
Chapter 521: Inheritance, A Millennium of Struggle
"The Great Dao Supreme Technique is indeed formidable. If one can grasp its essence, dominating a Great Thousand World would be a piece of cake. But this skill is not easy to cultivate."
Daoist Sage Seeker spoke nonchalantly, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of the Sacred Court.
He was well aware of the Annihilation Emperor's strength, and it was precisely because of this that he felt the world's situation was becoming uncontrollable.
He was merely a reincarnated body, unable to interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Dao. He could only assist others.
No matter how great the opportunities he brought to Zhu Xi, it was utterly impossible for her to possess the power to counter the Annihilation Emperor before the epoch's replacement.
After Zhu Xi mentioned the Great Dao Supreme Technique, the confusion in her heart resurfaced. She asked, "What is the origin of the Great Dao Supreme Technique? During my cultivation, I saw numerous silhouettes. If they were all cultivators of the Great Dao Supreme Technique, were they from the same sect?"
Daoist Sage Seeker turned his gaze towards her and smiled, "The Great Dao Supreme Technique is not something anyone can cultivate. This technique is passed down through a single lineage. I only obtained the method but have never cultivated it myself."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi appeared deep in thought.
Daoist Sage Seeker stood up and said, "You continue your cultivation. I'll be back soon."
Zhu Xi didn't ask any further but closed her eyes to comprehend the Great Dao Supreme Technique.
Even though she had already regained Holy Heaven's memories, she remained fascinated by the Great Dao Supreme Technique. With her natural talent, comprehending this technique was still challenging, indicating its profound and unfathomable depth.
...
The arrival of the Annihilation Emperor and his group did not alter the grand trend of the world. Against the backdrop of the conflict between the Sacred Court and the Immortal Dynasty, numerous Celestial Prodigies continued to rise, and many long-term secluded cultivators broke through their limits, reaching higher realms that shook the heavens and the earth.
The number of living beings in the universe gradually decreased, and cultivators moved closer to the central region of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, while ordinary beings fled towards the edges of the universe.
The Nine Spirit Continent saw an increasing number of mortals, which led to the emergence of sects like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Even demons began to stake out their territories.
The Primordial Dao Ground, located near the Heaven and Earth Sect, managed to avoid trouble.
On this day,
Yi Qingshan and his four companions ventured into the forest to meet An Xin. All five had already reached the Nirvana Realm in their cultivation, but they still felt nervous in front of An Xin.
They couldn't fathom An Xin's cultivation level, so they believed that An Xin's realm far surpassed theirs.
"Missing a sect's foundational inheritance?" An Xin furrowed her brows and asked.
Yi Qingshan's face turned slightly embarrassed. He coughed lightly, then, with some reluctance, replied, "That's right. The Ocean Sect has appeared at the edge of the continent, and their foundation is even deeper. They keep recruiting cultivators from the continent, and our Heaven and Earth Sect has also lost family members and geniuses to them. In the end, it's because our sect lacks the advantage of being naturally favored by heaven."
He felt that their sect had lost its inherent advantage, and with the constant urging from the higher-ups, they had no choice but to come.
The Heaven and Earth Sect was no longer just their sect of five; it had become a sect of a million disciples.
For the sect's future, what was a little loss of face?
Yi Qingshan had already prepared himself for the embarrassment of rejection.
Cheng Meng added, "Senior, we dare not ask you to bestow such an inheritance upon us. Even if you could just point us in the right direction, it would be a great help."
The other three echoed her words.
The five of them had ventured out for a millennium, but in the vast universe, they still belonged to the lower ranks. Their cultivation techniques, spells, and divine skills were still lacking compared to others.
An Xin quietly observed them, her gaze making them feel ashamed and lowering their heads, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide.
Suddenly,
An Xin smiled and said, "I do have a suitable inheritance for you all."
Upon hearing this, the five of them looked up at her in delight.
An Xin raised her right hand, and with a flick of her fingers, five secret manuals appeared in her hand.
The covers of these five secret manuals were blank, and combined with An Xin's gesture, Yi Qingshan and the others exchanged puzzled glances.
The cultivation methods and divine abilities of the Immortal Dao Realm were vast and boundless, far beyond what could be recorded in just five books.
However, they dared not offend An Xin, and could only grumble in their hearts.
"Choose one, and see your fortune." An Xin smiled, feeling secretly pleased.
Is this how it feels to receive a master's teachings?
Before coming today, the master had given her five secret manuals. She was initially puzzled, but when Yi Qingshan and the others spoke, she finally understood why her master was so insightful.
"This..." Yi Qingshan frowned. Could such a playful method really be a powerful inheritance?
An Xin raised an eyebrow, and Yi Qingshan immediately stepped forward, taking one of the secret manuals from her hand.
Seeing this, An Xin also put the other four manuals into her sleeves and turned to leave, saying, "From now on, this skill will be the foundation of your Heaven and Earth Sect. I hope you will use it for good."
Upon hearing this, Yi Qingshan and the others quickly bowed to her and watched as her figure disappeared into the depths of the forest. They then gathered together to examine the manual.
Yi Qingshan opened the first page and recited, "Heavenly Dao Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill..."
"Heaven and Earth?" Gu Changsheng hesitated, "It does match our sect's name."
He wanted to ask if An Xin was just toying with them, but he was afraid of provoking her.
...
Near the lake, Gu An was sparring with Chen Chuan in sword techniques. Having reached the Immortal Dao Realm, the specific moves were no longer as important, but Gu An could guide Chen Chuan to comprehend the Sword Dao through his own swordplay.
Chen Chuan had an exceptional understanding of the Sword Dao, and he felt himself growing stronger every year. However, whenever he sparred with his master, he felt like his Sword Dao was that of a child, posing no threat to his master.
Gu An held the Azure Phoenix Sword, its blade still sheathed, and used the scabbard to counter Chen Chuan's sword moves, guiding him into different attacks.
Lu Xian sat under a tree not far away, watching this scene intently, trying to comprehend Gu An's Sword Dao.
Although he didn't specialize in the Sword Dao, he had studied the Three Thousand Great Daos and could make connections between them.
After a while, Gu An pressed the sword scabbard against Chen Chuan's forehead, immobilizing him. With that, the sparring session came to an end.
Chen Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face. "Master, I understand now!"
Gu An sheathed his sword and waved to Lu Xian, who immediately ran over.
"What do you think about holding a competition in the Dao Site every thousand years? All of you can participate, except for me." Gu An asked with a smile.
At this, Lu Xian and Chen Chuan's eyes lit up. They both had a competitive spirit and were naturally eager to compete against other disciples in front of their master.
They agreed without hesitation, even feeling a bit impatient.
Gu An proposed this idea because everyone in the Dao Site had already reached the Nirvana Realm, and none of them were particularly weak. Moreover, each disciple had received his personal teachings, and their mastery of Dao techniques and divine abilities varied.
Of course, this was not only to put pressure on the disciples but also to create an exciting spectacle for Gu An.
"We won't compete to see who's the strongest. Each time, I'll personally choose your opponents. You only need to fight one battle, and eventually, you'll have the chance to fight each other." Gu An smiled.
Lu Xian and Chen Chuan had no objections, already excited about the prospect.
"I'll tell you in advance that you two will be each other's first opponents." Gu An said with a hearty laugh.
Lu Xian and Chen Chuan looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination and confidence, believing they could win.
