Chapter 364: Chapter 195: Attaining Celestial Venerable, the 9 Provinces Quake
Inside a grotto-mansion.
Wang Xiao sat cross-legged, a black Great Cauldron suspended before him, emitting a faint, hazy glow.
’I never thought a mere fragment of a Marvel could possess such immense power. I can’t imagine what kind of might the true Celestial Observation Cauldron must hold!’
Wang Xiao sighed inwardly as he felt the boundless energy radiating from within the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
He had come into contact with the Marvel, the Heart of the Starry Sky, before.
However, he never had the chance to use it before it was refined by the Book of Space-Time.
This was his first time truly controlling a Marvel in the truest sense.
Of course, he could only control the Celestial Observation Cauldron for now; he was still unable to refine it.
According to Gongsun Yan, in the hundreds of thousands of years since Emperor Yu’s fall, both of the Divine-Demon Races had wanted to refine this Celestial Observation Cauldron.
This was because once a single fragment of the Celestial Observation Cauldron was refined, all the other fragments would be drawn to it.
That would be equivalent to controlling the complete Celestial Observation Cauldron.
Unfortunately, to this day, whether Divine, Demon, human, or yaoguai, not a single one had managed to refine a fragment of the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
Legend had it that to refine a fragment of the Celestial Observation Cauldron, one first had to open a Grotto Heaven within their body and become a Celestial Venerable.
And that was just the most basic requirement.
Most importantly, one also had to gain the Celestial Observation Cauldron’s acknowledgment.
As for how to gain the Celestial Observation Cauldron’s acknowledgment, no one knew.
Otherwise, someone would have managed to refine a fragment of the Celestial Observation Cauldron in the past hundreds of thousands of years.
’I could use the Book of Space-Time to refine this Celestial Observation Cauldron fragment right now.’
’However, if I do that, the fragment will be absorbed by the Book of Space-Time, and I’ll lose the ability to control it. What’s more, it would very likely attract the attention of the Ancient Divine-Demons beyond the heavens. The loss would outweigh the gain.’
’For now, I should first use the Celestial Observation Cauldron to unify the Nine Great Origins within my body and try to manifest a Grotto Heaven!’
As Wang Xiao’s thoughts churned, he decided that using the Book of Space-Time to refine the Celestial Observation Cauldron fragment could only be a last resort.
He shouldn’t use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, he still had three hundred and eighty years of stay time left. He could absolutely use this period to increase his own strength!
For example, refining the planet’s consciousness to become a Tier Seven Life.
With the experience of becoming a Tier Seven Life, after returning to the Real World, refining Earth should also become much simpler.
Without dwelling on it further, Wang Xiao focused his Heart Spirit and silently sensed the circulation of the Nine Great Origin Dao Fruits within his Inner World.
Although these Dao Fruits existed together in his Inner World, they did not interfere with one another.
’Right now, these Dao Fruits can maintain a balance because they don’t affect each other. If I were to completely fuse them into one, the energy released would be unimaginable. My Inner World might not even be able to withstand it. I must think of a suitable method for fusion!’
A thoughtful expression appeared on Wang Xiao’s face.
According to the Method of Origin Unity he had obtained from Montis, Montis had used his own Origin Great Dao as a foundation.
He used it to comprehend the Natural Great Daos and Basic Great Daos that fell under the Origin Great Dao.
Afterward, he then used the Natural and Basic Great Daos as guides to connect the various Origin Great Daos, forming a massive network.
This way, with the Natural and Basic Great Daos acting as a buffer, the burden on the Inner World from fusing the Origin Great Daos into one wouldn’t be as great!
It was like melting two iron plates into one inside an iron box.
You first had to apply a layer of insulation to the box to prevent it from melting along with the plates.
The problem now was how to create this ’insulation layer’.
For instance, Montis had created the Blood Qi River.
It wasn’t just a Divine Technique; it was also the ’insulation layer’ that bore the immense power of Origin Unity.
That was why its might was so great!
Of course, Wang Xiao couldn’t just copy it step-by-step.
After all, everyone comprehended different Origin Great Daos, so they naturally needed ’insulation layers’ of different specifications!
Montis had only comprehended four Origin Great Daos.
Compared to Wang Xiao, he was far behind.
Therefore, the Divine Technique Blood Qi River was not suitable for Wang Xiao.
If Wang Xiao wanted to unify his Nine Origin Great Dao, he had to create a Divine Technique even stronger than the Blood Qi River to serve as the ’insulation layer’.
’In terms of might, the Celestial Will Unity Arrow is naturally above the Blood Qi River, but it isn’t the most suitable choice.’
’After all, this Divine Technique was created primarily for slaughter. Its defensive power is too poor!’
’I need to devise a new Divine Technique, one that has the killing power of the Celestial Will Unity Arrow and also possesses supreme defensive strength!’
’Perhaps... this Divine Technique must be based on Tai Chi.’
Wang Xiao’s expression grew contemplative.
Since he began his Cultivation, he couldn’t be more familiar with Tai Chi.
Tai Chi divides yin and yang and can carry all things; its defensive power was naturally unquestionable.
In terms of offense, Wang Xiao had always treated its central curve as the bowstring for his Celestial Will Unity Arrow.
Its killing power was naturally unparalleled in the world.
The Divine Body Wang Xiao had condensed was also called the Tai Chi Divine Body, which was naturally compatible with Tai Chi.
’For now, I should first focus on comprehending the Natural and Basic Great Daos that fall under the Origin Great Daos. Only after comprehending them can I finally decide what kind of Divine Technique to create!’
Wang Xiao’s thoughts flowed as he connected his consciousness with the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
At the same time, the Power of his Nine Origin Great Dao also poured out, merging into the Celestial Observation Cauldron.
BUZZ!
In that instant, the vast and boundless Power of the Earth Veins instantly surged into Wang Xiao’s body.
The next moment, Wang Xiao saw the source of the earth veins—a ball of light—begin to tremble gently.
Then, this light collided with his Nine Origin Great Dao.
Finally, it bloomed like a firework, transforming into specks of starlight in a night sky.
