Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 1058 - 3: Daoist School and Innate Spirit Root
Chapter 1058: Chapter 3: Daoist School and Innate Spirit Root
The method to enhance one’s strength in the Refining Void and Integration realm is to expand one’s power within the Great Tao River.
It is said:
“As the brilliant descendants grow and flourish, the powerful sect surpasses its ancestors with strategic wisdom. Last night’s lamp revealed a perfect match, and today, talents emerge before the hall. Each child like jade trees in clusters, the immortal offspring like golden stems. Some excel beyond priceless treasures, while they cultivate the fertile fields without help.”
This implies that after Refining Void and Integration, countless avatars gradually form and grow stronger, surpassing their original form, each avatar embracing the main trunk like dense branches.
In practice, Wang Sheng needs to disperse his power throughout various parts of the Great Tao River, similar to setting anchor points before.
The anchor points before were more about seeking protection from the Dao, whereas now, the anchor points act like his avatars, requiring him to gradually strengthen them and control the power there.
In simple terms, it is about establishing countless nodes, then connecting them into lines, and connecting lines into a network.
When power grows to the level of the network, it signifies the achievement of countless avatars, simultaneously gaining true control over the Great Tao River power covered by the “surface of power.”
When the controlled range reaches a certain level, it signifies ascension.
Of course, at present, he finds forming the “surface” a bit beyond his reach.
This requires a long time and gradual improvement.
What he needs to do is fully establish power nodes belonging to him.
While preparing for ascension, he also stabilizes his Refining Void and Integration realm.
As for how to set down nodes, he has a draft in mind.
“Although the Great Tao River no longer rejects me after experiencing the Nine Tribulations, setting down nodes at will is still challenging; the deeper the understanding, the less rejection… ”
“Currently, my understanding of time, space, causality, and destruction is deeper, with space-time being the deepest, so I’ll start with these four Daos.”
The Space-time Dao naturally needs no more explanation; for a breakthrough in the Refining God and Returning to Void realm, one must comprehend it.
As for causality, it’s because the God-slaying Sword, Curse, and other abilities are frequently used on the strong, leading to a significant understanding.
Destruction is even simpler; it can be said that it’s the first Dao he comprehended.
The Six Harmonies Spear and Eight Extremes Fist both have the Destruction Dao as their core for power, so while Destruction Dao seems rarely used, it’s frequently present.
With this thought, Wang Sheng began to mobilize his power after his advancement for the first time.
“If grasping was an earlier skill, now it’s control; using the power of Daoist laws feels like second nature to me now, but only this way can I leave something in the Great Tao River, to dwell in the Void Dao.”
He had never felt so smooth before.
Without hesitation, he directly sought out the two Daos of space-time.
These two he controlled most deeply, and it was easiest to set down nodes here.
“I wonder how many nodes I can currently establish with my power.”
The more nodes established, the more stable he becomes, and the closer he is to the Immortal Dao. Naturally, he hopes to set countless nodes to fill the entire Great Tao River. Of course, he understands this is pure fantasy.
But regardless of the outcome, he must give his all.
As the first step, instead of hastily spreading the nodes, he chose to lay a “power surface” within the Space-time Dao, rather than power nodes.
In no time, an area of hundreds of millions of miles was covered by his power.
“Thus, the realm is stable and unmatched, using this as the core to expand the nodes.”
The power surface is the ultimate goal.
It’s equivalent to having a territory of his own.
Just like in a disorderly struggle for supremacy, to achieve ultimate victory, one must have their own territory; otherwise, everything is an illusion, shattering at a touch.
Currently, aside from him, there are no other cultivators in the starry Great Tao River.
Carving out a territory of his own is without any pressure.
Once established, using this territory as the base, he rapidly expanded his power, letting it extend continuously within the Space-time Dao in all directions.
Whenever he reached a location, he would condense power to set up nodes.
It’s unknown how much time passed until Wang Sheng finally felt the pressure.
“I cannot continue establishing; setting more would definitely trigger backlash from the rules. However, having twelve billion eight hundred million nodes is sufficient.”
He naturally knows the number of nodes.
Twelve billion eight hundred million may seem few in the nearly boundless Great Tao River, but these are nodes, each separated by vast distances.
Once connected into lines, eventually forming a surface, the surface would be extremely terrifying.
His power will increase to levels even he finds unimaginable.
Undoubtedly, once it forms a surface, he would ascend to immortality and even make significant progress in the Immortal Dao Domain.
“That’s enough for now. Next, it is about slowly nurturing these nodes, allowing them to grow from ’seeds’ into ’forests,’ and finally becoming towering trees.”
With the nodes established, the next step is meticulous work, and he naturally takes his time.
Having done all this, his power had long since stabilized.
“It’s time to return, but now his true form cannot be shown before the mortal world unless most of the aura is withdrawn. Only reaching the Twelve Realm Saint Emperor Domain can barely gaze upon my true form.”
Whether his physical body or Yang spirit, all are entrusted within the Void Dao, as his being belongs to the level of conceptual existence.
To look at him is almost equivalent to looking at the Great Tao River.
