Chapter 430: Chapter 348: Ultimate Dao Communication Technique: Great Dao Sword Technique
But there was one thing.
The Chaos Race was extremely powerful. Every member of the Chaos Race, even without Cultivation, could step into the Sixth Realm upon reaching adulthood.
However.
Members of the Chaos Race were also incredibly rare and difficult to find, but each one was an exceptionally powerful being.
Finally.
There was the matter of the Dragon Race.
The Dragon Race was originally one of the nine major races of the Divine Beast Race. But at the end of the last Era of Chaos, the Dragon Race allied with the Human Race. With the Human Race’s help, the Ancestral Dragon was born among the dragons. The birth of the Ancestral Dragon elevated the entire Dragon Race’s strength by a whole level.
Therefore.
The Dragon Race broke away from the Divine Beast Race and even occupied an Origin World of its own. The Dragon Race alone became an existence comparable to the entire Divine Beast Race.
In addition.
Xu Qing also learned from Chen Wangu that the Emperor Dragon Qi was related to the Dragon Race’s Ancestral Dragon. This was because the Ancestral Dragon’s birth was made possible by the Human Race’s help, allowing it to take that crucial step.
Thus.
After its success, the Ancestral Dragon was required to give up half of its Immortal Origin. This was integrated into the Human Race, allowing the Emperor Dragon Qi to be condensed through the Human Race Dynasty and its people.
This was the source of the Emperor Dragon Qi; it came from the Ancestral Dragon.
"Master, are the Dragon Race and our Human Race allies?"
Xu Qing asked.
"Not anymore."
Chen Wangu shook his head, took a deep breath, and said grimly, "The Ancestral Dragon was forced to give up half of its Immortal Origin, which caused its strength to plummet. If not for the inherent power of our Human Race, coupled with the Dao Contract established back then, the Dragon Race would have long since tried every method possible to take that half of the Immortal Origin back."
"You have to understand."
"Although the mastermind behind the Ancient Text Incident came from the Dark Forbidden Land, the Dragon Race’s shadow was not absent from the events. The appearance of the Horned Dragon Race is one piece of evidence."
"Therefore."
"Across the entire Sea of Chaos, the major races compete for resources, creating all sorts of friction between them. Hatred has accumulated year after year, era after era, and has long since become irreconcilable."
"Furthermore."
"As for the Nine Great Forbidden Lands of the Sea of Chaos, we are now approaching the end of this Era of Chaos. During this period, the ’Undying Immortal’ beings within the Nine Great Forbidden Lands are slowly reawakening."
"In order to survive, these old monsters had no choice but to cripple themselves, using Immortal Substance to refine Immortal Crystals and seal themselves within."
"After they reawaken, the first thing they will do is devour the countless races and living beings of the Sea of Chaos to restore themselves."
"Master, why would the beings in the Nine Great Forbidden Lands do such a thing?"
Xu Qing asked.
"Does one need a reason to want to live?"
Chen Wangu sneered.
"This..."
Xu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Master, aren’t they already ’Undying Immortal’? Why would they still die?"
"Because of the Chaos Great Tribulation."
Chen Wangu took a deep breath. "In the Sea of Chaos, time is measured in eras. Each era is equivalent to 12.96 septillion years."
"And every 129,600 of these eras is equivalent to one ’Era of Chaos’."
"After 129,600 Eras of Chaos have passed in the Sea of Chaos, a ’Chaos Great Tribulation’ will arrive. During this ’Chaos Great Tribulation’, even ’Undying Immortal’ beings can perish."
"When the great tribulation comes, they are no longer ’Undying Immortal’."
"Furthermore."
"The Immortal Life in the Dark Forbidden Land must awaken once every Era of Chaos. They need to devour vast numbers of races and living beings to replenish their Immortal Substance, because they have already crippled themselves."
"Of course."
"If they hadn’t crippled themselves, the only thing that could threaten an ’Undying Immortal’ being would be the ’Chaos Great Tribulation’."
"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded slightly. "This disciple understands."
BZZT! BZZT!
Then.
The figures of Xu Qing and Chen Wangu vanished. They had both returned to the Profound Yellow Realm and gone back to Shu Mountain. Chen Wangu returned to his own Dao Field to enter seclusion.
Likewise.
Xu Qing also returned to his ’Sword One Dojo’.
「Dark Forbidden Land.」
「Deep within.」
"BASTARD!!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Terrifying explosions and roars echoed through more than half of the Dark Forbidden Land. In its depths, a pair of crimson, blood-red eyes had appeared. They were incomparably massive; the eyes alone were as large as a Great World.
"What a Human Race!"
BOOM!
Another roar thundered.
"How dare you slaughter your way to my very doorstep."
"Damn you! Damn you! DAMN YOU!!!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Evidently.
Although Chen Wangu had charged into the Dark Forbidden Land, taught it a lesson, and killed many of its servants, he had also thoroughly enraged it. They would surely retaliate with madness.
Meanwhile.
There were eight other Great Forbidden Lands in the Sea of Chaos.
They were: the Life Forbidden Land, the Eternal Forbidden Land, the Ancient God Forbidden Land, the Chaos Forbidden Land, the Unique Forbidden Land, the Death Forbidden Land, the Divine Mystery Forbidden Land, and the Forbidden Land of the End.
In fact.
Within these eight Great Forbidden Lands, ’Undying Immortal’ beings had already begun to reawaken one after another. They had started to lay their plans, preparing to devour the myriad worlds and their inhabitants to restore themselves and refine more Immortal Substance.
One could say.
In the eyes of these beings from the eight Great Forbidden Lands, the entire Sea of Chaos—with its countless worlds, universes, living creatures, and races—was nothing but their hunting ground. They were the prey, all of them resources to be used for their own restoration and the refinement of Immortal Substance.
「Sword One Dojo.」
「Seclusion Chamber.」
With a thought, Xu Qing took out the Dao Jade Scroll engraved with the ’Great Dao Sword Technique’. It floated before him as his consciousness connected with the Encyclopedia of All Things.
"Record."
BOOM!
At Xu Qing’s command, the Encyclopedia of All Things flared with an intensely brilliant light, swiftly enveloping the Dao Jade Scroll before him. In an instant, endless Dao Talismans and Great Dao Engravings appeared, and countless Sword Qi runes filled the air...
...
[Record Successful!]
[Great Dao Sword Technique Level 1: 0/10 Trillion Zǐ (Note: 1 trillion = 1 Jing; 10,000 Jing = 1 Gai; 10,000 Gai = 1 Zǐ.) (A Dao Tong Sword Technique comprehended from the Great Dao. It consists of the Nine Techniques: Sword Lotus Technique, Martial-Breaking Technique, Immortal-Breaking Technique, Confucian-Breaking Technique, Demon-Breaking Technique, Demon-Breaking Technique, Deceit-Breaking Technique, Path-Breaking Technique, and Great Dao Technique. Once fully mastered, it can break all Daos in existence. No Dao is unbreakable, placing the user in an innately undefeatable position.)]
...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
At that moment.
Xu Qing’s consciousness roared as the mysteries of the Great Dao Sword Technique flowed into his heart. All of its profundities washed over him like a sudden enlightenment, pouring into his mind to be rapidly understood and comprehended.
In the end.
Xu Qing comprehended and understood the Great Dao Sword Technique, but he had only reached a preliminary level of mastery.
"Haaa..."
Xu Qing took a deep breath. Countless streams of Sword Qi swirled within his eyes, forming one Sword Lotus after another. With a mere thought, Sword Lotuses materialized all around him.
Clearly.
Although he had only just finished recording it and the Great Dao Sword Technique was still only at Level 1, Xu Qing had already gained preliminary mastery of its first form, the ’Sword Lotus Technique’.
’Not bad, not bad.’
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction as he perceived the mysteries of the ’Sword Lotus Technique’. ’The Great Dao Sword Technique is only Level 1, but leveling it up requires a full ten trillion Zǐ. I’d say that’s the most Experience Points I’ve ever seen needed to level up from Level 1.’
’As expected of the Ultimate Dao Communication Technique, the ’Great Dao Sword Technique’.’
Next.
With a thought, Xu Qing left the Profound Yellow Realm. He traveled to the Level 23 Beastman Mini World and, under a time flow rate of 100,000 times the normal speed, began to practice the Great Dao Sword Technique.
However, after a full day, Xu Qing had only practiced enough to earn ten thousand Jing in Experience. This was ten times slower than when he practiced the Chaos Sword Dao, but the Experience Points needed to level up the Chaos Sword Dao were far less, not even coming close to what the Great Dao Sword Technique required.
