Chapter 1138: Chapter 688: Earth Immortal
“Rumbling!”
The Immortal Spirit Mech Armor, hundreds of millions of Magical Instruments, transformed into a vast torrent and poured into the Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Palace. Soon after, the radiance of the Holy Sword rose from within, combining various laws, commanding the multitude of instruments, and creating a magnificent silhouette of light that seemed to be part god, part Immortal, and even more so sacred, standing tall between heaven and earth, overlooking all beings.
“This is…”
Inside the Territory World, numerous heroes rushed over, looking at the silhouette of light, unsure and astonished.
“Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate!”
“It’s done, finally done!”
In the end, it was Gongshu Ling, who had grown into the shape of a young girl, who exclaimed with great joy, and then her figure soared up, hurrying towards the Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Craftsmen.
At the same time, within the Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Palace, Xu Yang emerged from the realm where principles interwove and laws manifested, completing this “upgrade” process and feeling somewhat lost in the aftermath.
That sensation of upgrading, that immersion within the origin of heaven and earth, and the realm of principles, was too marvelous. It was like a student thirsting for knowledge plunged into an ocean of wisdom, absorbing massive amounts of knowledge every second, solving countless puzzles, dissecting the surface, and glimpsing the truth…
That feeling, that experience, cannot be described in words. Especially for those “Seekers”, it can almost be said to be the most wonderful, most dream-like journey in the world. If one could enter again, even if it meant paying with their life, countless Seekers would follow suit.
“To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening,” and it was exactly so.
Although Xu Yang did not cease there, he couldn’t deny that this sensation was indeed a wonderful experience, wonderful enough to make one lose oneself, wishing to stay immersed forever, becoming a part of the Dao and principles.
However, such feelings, such thoughts, lasted only for a fleeting moment before they were cut off by his sharp sword edge, without a trace of reluctance.
This is the limit of Enlightenment!
For Immortal Gods’ cultivation, Dao is the foundation, and Enlightenment is necessary. However, this necessity also comes with risks. The Immortal God Skills across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds describe this: Immortal Gods cultivate to master and control the Dao, not to become the Dao or be dominated by it. A cultivator should control principles, not be controlled by them.
The limit of Enlightenment is to become the latter, to be lost in that realm of principles, eventually either being assimilated by the principles, becoming like clay and wood sculptures, or clashing with one’s self and principles, becoming some kind of horrific “Dao-deviated” existence, a dangerous being.
Put simply, it is to confuse primary and secondary and eventually become possessed by obsession!
Xu Yang’s Dao Heart is exceptionally steadfast, tried and tested a thousand times, and with the Holy Method Wisdom Sword, he will not be troubled by this demonic barrier. Not only did he maintain clarity within the realm of principles, but upon exiting, he also cut away any lingering or addictive thoughts without any hesitation.
With the thoughts severed and no longer lingering, the risks of Enlightenment passed, and what remained were the hard-earned rewards.
First was the understanding of Dao and principle. Long before Breaking the Seventh Order with the Heavenly Mechanics Methods, Xu Yang had integrated the Nine Instruments Holy Method, or rather, the Nine Instruments Holy Method that commands heaven and rules over men, and created the Seventh Order of Heavenly Mechanics Methods.
If the Seventh Order was so, then the Eighth and Ninth Orders were the same. Thus for Xu Yang, breaking through in the Heavenly Mechanics Methods was a breakthrough in the Nine Instruments Holy Method. During that “process,” he profoundly comprehended the principles of the Nine Instruments Holy Method, the relationships between heaven, earth, and the human heart, which greatly advanced his mastery and understanding of the Nine Instruments Holy Method.
As for the Nine Instruments Holy Method, so needless to say for Yin Yang and the Five Elements. All things in heaven and earth start with Yin and Yang, the Five Elements form the structure. The Heavenly Mechanics Methods from the very beginning were based on Yin Yang and the Five Elements, and now that they had reached the Ninth Order, it was natural to advance further.
The combination of both is what Xu Yang has been seeking in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, in each and every body, wanting to perfectly achieve the Peak of Saint Dao.
Although this upgrade was very brief and its effects somewhat limited, not allowing him to instantly perform the Peak Dao Fruit, it significantly advanced the progression. Following this trend, Xu Yang estimated that after three or four more times, he would be able to achieve the Peak Dao Fruit and enter the realm of Earth Immortals with the Nine Instruments Holy Method.
This was the first part, the comprehension of the Holy Tao.
The second part was the accomplishment of the Heavenly Craft Technique.
The Heavenly Craft Technique, after countless ages and innumerable cultivators from All Heavens World, as well as his own role as a Taoist Master, poured their hearts and wisdom into it, joined by the power of billions, finally stepped into the Ninth Order Realm today.
The hard work is self-evident; what matters is the result.
Compared to the Eighth Order, what kind of sight is the Ninth Order of Heavenly Craft Technique?
The Eighth Order can merely be called Immortal Spirit, but the Ninth Order truly deserves the name True Immortal. It not only matches a real Immortal in status but also exceeds in combat power, even comparable to the Emperor’s Weapon in Central Region Divine Land of the present Taixuan.
Yes, Emperor’s Weapon!
The approach of the Ninth Order creation method is to strive towards the Emperor’s Weapon. After experiencing the formidable power of the Emperor’s Weapon in Divine Land and understanding its principles, Xu Yang set this tone.
And as he anticipated, although Heavenly Mechanics Methods are a challenge to the natural order of creation, they can’t rely purely on accumulation of numbers to break through the limits. After reaching a certain level, Artifact’s Level is merely supportive, the key lies in the central core’s status and quality.
Xu Yang, observing all realms, knew only the Extreme Imperial Weapon could meet this need.
But the Extreme Imperial Weapon is the Life-bound Heavy Weapon of a Tenth Order Earth Immortal, to use it as the core for a True Immortal Mech of the Ninth Order, setting aside whether it can be realized, even if it could, it would seem redundant.
If you already possess an Imperial Weapon, why would you need a mech?
Therefore, the idea of the Ninth Order Heavenly Craft Technique is to use a True Immortal Mech, which isn’t an Imperial Weapon, to wield power comparable to an Emperor’s Weapon.
This is hard to achieve.
But he did it, and with the help of “money consumption,” he achieved it.
