Infinite Professions

Chapter 457: Chapter 233: Completion (2)

Venerable Dragon Qi, capable of suppressing all laws, under its blessing, whether immortal techniques, martial skills, or divine techniques, all gain doubled power and carry a "suppression" effect. Without considerable high-level support, it’s hard to resist.

With the power of these two combined, along with its own status as a Tier Seven Spirit Beast, its combat strength can completely rival that of an ordinary Tier Eight cultivator. In the Taiyuan realm, it matches the level of ancient monsters like the Seven Taiyuan Cultivators and the Six Demons of the Universe, enough to serve as a Mountain Guardian Divine Beast.

This demonstrates the strength of the fusion profession [Ten Thousand Emperors·Ziwei Star].

Previously, relying on the abilities of the [Spirit Control Martial Monarch] profession, in a few years, he had already raised the Spiritual Teeth Pig into a Tier Six Spirit Beast, which was already exceptional and eye-catching.

But now, with the power of Ten Thousand Emperors·Ziwei Star, he has further elevated the Spiritual Teeth Pig to Tier Seven Cultivation, Tier Eight Combat Strength as a Daoist Soldier God, Ziwei Emperor Beast. Such rapid advancement and significant improvement are indeed extraordinary.

If this were known to the outside world, there would be no question that he must have opened a very powerful Beast Taming profession and would be specially recruited into a Beast Taming Academy as a key figure for nurturing.

Even in a world where everyone seems to have cheats, this Ziwei Emperor Beast can compete with Seventh-rank Professionals of lesser professional strength, not losing out to a Celestial Destiny Sacred Beast of the Spirit Control Realm, perhaps even exceeding it.

The only slight flaw is the limitation in quantity—one tribe can only have one Ziwei Emperor Beast. Otherwise, Shen Hex could quickly muster an army of Emperor Beasts.

But this isn’t much of an issue. Although there’s a limit of one Emperor Beast per race, the number of beast species in this world is countless. As long as one invests enough, cultivating one from each tribe, an army of Emperor Beasts can eventually be formed; it would just take some time.

However, these are not the main focus.

Whether Daoist Soldiers or Emperor Beasts, ultimately, they are external resources.

Shen Hex believes most in himself and relies most on himself.

Thus, for him, the main value of the Ziwei Emperor Beast remains the same as before, serving as a "Cultivation Pendant".

Previously, they could only serve as Martial Arts Pendants, helping him enhance his Martial Arts Cultivation and Martial Arts Skills. But now, they can additionally serve as Divine Dao Pendants, supplying Incense Fire Will Power and other Divine Dao resources.

Though visitors arrived, Shen Hex wasn’t in a hurry and continued to experience the power of the Divine Dao, attempting to integrate it within the Immortal Martial Spirit system.

Immortal Martial Spirit, Three Methods Cultivation, Great Dao Skill!

Prior to this, Shen Hex had already achieved this result, creating a Twelfth Grade Golden Core with boundless potential and a promising Great Dao.

However, he always felt it wasn’t perfect, lacking an essential element.

What was missing?

Originally, he was unsure, just had a sense of it.

But after experiencing the Divine Dao for a lifetime, he vaguely found a clue.

Immortal Martial Spirit, Three Methods Cultivation, with Martial Dao cultivating Essence Yuan, Immortal Dao cultivating Qi Essence, and Spirit Control cultivating Divine Yuan, indeed already complete, otherwise achieving a Twelfth Grade Golden Core would be impossible.

But this completeness is only the completeness of the "Sixth Realm".

Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul.

True Yuan, Embracing Core, Heavenly Gang Sha.

From the Fourth to the Sixth Realm, indeed complete, with a promising Great Dao.

However, to go further, beyond the Sixth Realm, there were deficiencies in his Three Methods.

Where lies the deficiency?

In the Spirit Control Technique!

Immortal Dao and Martial Dao are complete in inheritance, allowing cultivation to the Twelfth-level Immortal Demon God Martial Realm.

Immortal Daoist, Seventh Realm Divinity Transformation, Eighth Realm Returning Void, Ninth Realm Integration, Tenth Realm Mahayana, Eleventh Realm Crossing the Tribulation, Twelfth Realm True Immortal.

Martial Artist, Seventh Realm Divine Intent, Eighth Realm Inner Realm, Ninth Realm Outer World, Tenth Realm Earth Tribulation, Eleventh Realm Celestial Tribulation, Twelfth Level Divine Martial.

Both systems, complete in inheritance.

Only the Spirit Control Dao reaches only up to Tier Six.

After all, the Spirit Control Technique originates from the Spirit Control Realm, the outcome of a Small Thousand World, with no opened path ahead, naturally lacking.

Therefore, the Great Dao Primordial Spirit Shen Hex achieved in the Taiyuan realm was not a perfect Great Dao Primordial Spirit, lacking in the Spirit Control Divine Yuan technique.

He sensed this as well, so in the current world, he slowed down his cultivation. His current personal cultivation still halted at the Sixth Realm, not breaking through, to avoid any regrets.

The foundation is of utmost importance for cultivators, even more so than realms.

Because realms are finite, the highest all cultivation systems in the entire Human Empire currently reach only Tier Fifteen; no matter how one elevates, it’s impossible to surpass this limit.

When the realm cannot be advanced infinitely, the importance of the foundation becomes greatly prominent. If one focuses solely on realm and neglects foundation, even if by luck one achieves Immortal Demon God Buddha status, they will still be at the bottom, oppressed by others of the same realm, possibly even counterattacked.

Moreover, the foundation and realm don’t conflict; only with a profound foundation can one ascend to higher realms without falling midway or being unable to continue.

Previously, Shen Hex had complete Dharma Gates for Martial Dao and Immortal Dao, lacking only the Spirit Control Technique.

Now, this deficiency is also being supplemented, with Spirit Control transforming into Divine Spirit, refining the "Divine Yuan" more spiritually.

Divine Spirits are Sovereigns of the Dao, ruling the heavens and controlling the earth, the Ultimate Gate!

No matter the system, once reaching Tier Seven, one must touch the heavens and the earth. The Divinity Transformation, Returning Void, and Integration of the Immortal Dao involve divinity entering the heavens and earth, returning from the void, ultimately unifying to achieve the extraordinary state of "Unity of Heaven and Man".

Martial Dao follows the same logic; Seventh Realm Divine Intent cultivates Martial Arts Divine Intent, using Martial Arts Divine Intent to harness the Power of Heaven and Earth, creating a Little World within the human body, resulting in Inner Realm of the World, Outer World Qiankun.

In fact, both paths involve cultivating "divinity".

But their divinity is formed by essence and primordial qi.

The divinity of Divine Spirits, however, is the Incense Fire God, the pure Divine Qi God.

Each field has its expertise. In this regard, the path of Divine Spirits surpasses the Immortal Martial Dao.

Now, Shen Hex’s primary goal is to enhance his Divine Dao Cultivation, then enter the Seventh Realm with the "Immortal Martial Divine Spirit" method, achieving an unparalleled, flawless Great Dao Primordial Spirit.

This requires painstaking work. Although Shen Hex has many "pendants" to assist, he should not rush.

So this time, after savoring briefly, he quickly got up to go out.

Visitors have come, and he must entertain them.

...

Outside the green hills, the phenomena had dissipated, but everyone still dared not act rashly.

Only when Shen Hex stepped out did they dare to approach.

"Shen Hex!"

"Captain!"

"Boss!"

Zhong Qin, Teng Manyun, and other members of the Special Bureau stepped forward, while Shen Qingyue naturally stood beside Shen Hex: "What was that just now?"

Shen Hex smiled: "My Spiritual Teeth Pig advanced."

"I knew it!"

Everyone nodded, and Zhong Qin inquired further: "Tier Seven?"

Shen Hex also nodded: "Correct."

"Wow!"

Zhong Qin looked him up and down: "Your pig’s cultivation speed is faster than people!"

Shen Hex chuckled: "If you ate pills like meals, you could too."

Although it was a joke, it had some truth.

The rapid advancement of the Spiritual Teeth Pig was indeed inseparable from the support of the profession, but Shen Hex’s massive investment couldn’t be ignored. If a professional trained like this, the progress would also be fast; however, it would inevitably result in accumulated Pill Poison and unstable foundations, unless there was some professional effect, otherwise it was extremely inadvisable.

"Do you think everyone is as opulent as you?"

Zhong Qin rolled her eyes at him, with a hint of plaintiveness in her words.

It reminded her of the time at Yunlan Grand Hotel when someone had to sell their services to earn money from her, a small wealthy lady.

Not long after, this guy became the largest livestock magnate in Tianbei City, the rising star of the Special Bureau, leveraging the merit of killing the Blood God Child to rapidly build wealth, so much so that he could even use pills to feed pigs, doing something so outrageously extravagant.

How could one compare?

Now Zhong Qin finally understood why there’s a saying about fearing both that a friend lives poorly and that the friend suddenly advances to drive a luxury car.

The gap is too big, causing distress!

After thoughtful reflection, Zhong Qin turned grief into appetite: "Such a joyful occasion, shouldn’t we celebrate with a feast?"

"Certainly."

Shen Hex smiled, leading the group to a beautiful scenic spot in the mountains, setting up a banquet, and drinking on the spot.
