Starry Sky Professional

What does it feel like to die of old age?

Fang Xing truly experienced it in the Great Qian World.

Even with a bit of supernatural power, he still couldn't stop his body from aging. The torment of watching himself weaken bit by bit was indeed difficult to overcome.

In his final years, he even felt like he was a corpse gradually rotting away...

If he hadn't already broken through the memory seal, he might have succumbed to it.

Then, he might have done all sorts of crazy and ridiculous things for the sake of longevity and extending his lifespan.

In fact, during his later years, there were alchemists who came to offer 'elixirs of immortality' or wanted to guide him to seek immortality.

For Fang Xing, who was already a True Immortal, this was quite speechless.

Moreover, the other party's intention to poison him with heavy metal pills seemed undisguised.

The result was naturally that he had all those alchemists and Taoists killed, and ordered several princes and grandsons to commit suicide, along with a batch of civil and military officials to be buried with them...

When he lay on his bed, taking his last breath.

Boom!

The world brightened.

Fang Xing suddenly returned to that beautiful place with clear mountains and rivers, and saw that face made of white clouds.

He subconsciously scanned his surroundings, but didn't find the female Dao Sovereign.

'Alas... although this woman had some tricks, I didn't expect her to be kicked out of the instance so quickly...'

'Was she exhausted by the various methods of the harem? Or was governing the country too tiring?'

'I wonder what her evaluation is? Does she have the qualifications to take away the Innate Spiritual Treasure?'

'This World Spirit is also something, everyone entered the same instance, but why are we not in the same place when we come back? Can't afford to play?'

Fang Xing complained in his heart, then looked at the Secret Realm Spirit: "World Spirit, what is my temperament like?"

The face formed by clouds and mist seemed to glance at Fang Xing deeply, and then waved its hand.

Whoosh!

The wind and clouds surged, and a huge golden list unfolded in the sky.

Then, rows of golden seal characters appeared.

These seal characters seemed to be eternally unchanging, yet they seemed to be changing at all times.

Fang Xing understood the meaning at a glance.

[Temperament Ranking]

[Temperament Ranking First, Ye Weixian!]

[Temperament Ranking Second, Fang Xing!]

[Temperament Ranking Third, Wan Daoliu!]

...

"Ye Weixian... who is it?"

Fang Xing was a little curious: "A Dao Venerable?"

"Not quite..."

The giant face formed by clouds and mist smiled: "I said that only one cultivator can take away the Innate Spiritual Treasure, and what Ye Weixian took away is even more precious than the Innate Spiritual Treasure... It's just a pity that it's a unique opportunity."

"And based on your evaluation, you can choose one from these treasures."

The Secret Realm Spirit waved its hand again, and a ray of light flashed across the golden list, and the golden seal characters changed again:

[One, an Innate Spiritual Treasure (choose from the Innate Exquisite Pagoda, the Heaven-Opening Axe, the Chaos Pearl, the Creation Cauldron...)]

[Two, a set of the 'Nine Transformations of the Auspicious Phoenix' secret technique, including complete cultivation resources...]

[Three, a Celestial Puppet]

[Four, three thousand cubic meters of the Reversing River water]

[Five, a Flame Yang Wonder Wood]

[Six, seven Frosty Cold Beads...]

...

"These... I mostly don't understand, is there a detailed introduction?"

Fang Xing asked.

Fang Xing glanced over, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

'I really want to... snatch this World Spirit, but unfortunately, I can't beat it, and it's embarrassing to rob someone who's giving you treasures.'

'Transcendent items? It seems that some of them can assist in condensing transcendent characteristics? Even Eternal Existences would be tempted...'

'Unfortunately, it's useless to me, it's better to exchange for an Innate Spiritual Treasure.'

Fang Xing looked at that inheritance.

To be honest, he was very interested in the inheritance of a Transcendent.

But now, of course, the Innate Spiritual Treasure that can immediately improve his strength is the most important.

"I choose one!"

Fang Xing said: "Then... the Heaven-Opening Axe."

"This is not the best choice, nor is it the worst choice," the Secret Realm Spirit said.

Then!

The world suddenly darkened, and countless Chaos Qi flowed.

A ray of axe light broke through the Chaos Qi and landed in front of Fang Xing.

It was single-edged, with a chaotic color all over, and the axe handle was rough, made of an unknown black wood.

"Heaven-Opening Axe?"

Fang Xing stretched out his hand, and just by touching the axe body, he felt an unfathomable power surging and an astonishing sharpness.

"Innate Spiritual Treasure - Heaven-Opening Axe, is a rare treasure nurtured by the origin of the heavens-level world... When you advance to the Third Step Dao Sovereign, you can try to refine it, so that the 'Great Dao Seed' in your body turns into a 'Innate Dao Seed'..."

The Secret Realm Spirit explained.

"The Great Dao has always been there, even if the Eternal Existence opens the Dao, once it is opened, it will immediately be entrusted to the myriad worlds..."

"Therefore, the Great Dao is the Great Dao, and there is no distinction between Innate Great Dao and Acquired Great Dao!"

"What truly distinguishes the Great Dao is people!"

"Refining the Innate Spiritual Treasure and achieving the Innate Great Dao Sovereign is the sublimation of the Dao Sovereign itself..."

Fang Xing roughly understood after the Secret Realm Spirit's explanation.

Theoretically speaking, there are always Fourth Step Dao Sovereigns appearing, and there are also Eternal Existences opening the Dao... The Great Daos they open and leave behind are naturally all Innate Great Daos, but why do they degenerate into Acquired Great Daos after later people take charge?

This is naturally wrong.

The essence of the Great Dao is the same, there is no distinction between Innate and Acquired.

What truly distinguishes them is the Dao Sovereign himself!

The so-called Dao Lord and Dao Sovereign-level existences in the Fourteenth Realm completely control a Great Dao and receive the blessing of the Great Dao's power.

However, completely comprehending a Great Dao does not mean completely mastering it.

This is something only the opener of the Great Dao can do.

Dao Lord and Dao Sovereign-level existences, after occupying an ownerless Great Dao, will imprint their own True Spirit and distort the Great Dao... in order to achieve control. This point of distortion can be called the 'Dao Seed'!

When it comes to the Fourth Step Dao Sovereign, the imprint must be reversed from Acquired to Innate, forming an 'Innate Dao Seed'!

With the 'Innate Dao Seed', the control and amplification of the Great Dao far exceeds that of ordinary Dao Lords.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is as if the Great Dao has been sublimated into an Innate Great Dao.

In fact, what is sublimated is only the cultivator himself!

And even when it comes to opening the Dao, abandoning the original Great Dao, the Innate Dao Seed will not be abandoned, but will be more closely integrated with the cultivator, sublimating into the 'Eternal Dao Seed'!

Under the blessing of the 'Eternal Dao Seed', there is the power of the Eternal Existence's imprint spreading across countless planes, eternally indestructible.

"This axe is not bad... it matches my Pan Wu Great Dao very well."

"Pan Wu Opens the Heavens?"

Fang Xing held the axe handle, reached out and stroked the axe body, very satisfied with it.

Even if he has not initially refined this Innate Spiritual Treasure, he can sense its power, which is definitely far beyond ordinary Emperor Weapons!

What's more, there is also an Innate Spiritual Treasure origin, which can help him quickly break through the Third Step Dao Sovereign barrier!

"Innate Dao Seed, Eternal Dao Seed?"

Fang Xing sighed in his heart: "Unfortunately... I am only a Second Step Dao Sovereign."

He looked at the World Spirit: "I wonder if other cultivators have entered the Secret Realm after I participated in the trial?"

The Secret Realm Spirit did not answer, but waved its hand: "You have completed the test and obtained the opportunity... it's time to leave."

In an instant, Fang Xing felt a spinning sensation.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he had come to a surface, and was actually repelled from the world's origin area.

"Alas... you're really stingy, do you think I would snatch other people's opportunities?"

He sighed, and casually tore open the space in front of him.

In an instant, the Cultivation Immortal clone crossed an infinite distance and came to the main body.

The Heaven-Opening Axe in his hand was naturally taken by the main body.

"Good treasure."

Fang Xing's eyes lit up, and the rolling power of the Pan Wu Great Dao crashed down.

Compared to the Cultivation Immortal clone, which only had the strength of the Dao Sovereign threshold, the main body was already a Second Step Dao Sovereign, and had gone far in this realm.

He had the full strength to refine this Innate Spiritual Treasure and exert its power more deeply.

"As expected... the first time I saw it, I knew that the Heaven-Opening Axe was a perfect match for the Pan Wu Great Dao..."

"If I refine its Innate Origin after becoming a Third Step Dao Sovereign, I will definitely be able to achieve the 'Innate Pan Wu Dao Seed'!"

"Cultivation below Transcendence, the Thirteenth Realm completely comprehends the laws, the Fourteenth Realm controls a Great Dao... in fact, they are not their own things."

"And after forming the Dao Seed, even if the Great Dao is abandoned, the Dao Seed can still be left behind, which is completely one's own!"

"After that, it is to transform the Innate Dao Seed into an Eternal Dao Seed. This process requires 'Opening the Dao'..."

"After opening the Dao, the nature of the Dao Seed will also be transformed... For example, the Dao Venerable, originally comprehended the True Illusion Law, and then the Great Dao related to True Illusion... Then the Fourth Step Dao Sovereign is the Innate True Illusion Great Dao... Finally, opening up the 'Immortal Great Dao', his 'Innate True Illusion Dao Seed' will naturally become the 'Eternal Immortal Dao Seed' after breaking through the Fifteenth Realm of Eternity!"

"Even later, making subtractions to seek emptiness, abandoning the 'Immortal Great Dao', the 'Eternal Immortal Dao Seed' is still in the Dao Venerable's body, integrated with him, bringing eternal-level power..."

"The Great Dao cannot be eternally occupied by one person, so the cultivation of the Law Great Dao is like grabbing pork, the pork is sent away, but the oil and water are still left in the hand... The so-called 'oil and water' is the Innate Dao Seed?"

"What's more, after reaching Eternity, they will actively open up new Great Daos, which is very beneficial to the myriad worlds, which is equivalent to making a bigger cake..."

This Secret Realm trip made Fang Xing no longer confused about future cultivation.

"Next, in order to deal with the Zerg of the Great Xia Universe... the Qingyuan Great World needs to work harder."

Fang Xing left the Cultivation Immortal clone, and the main body swiped his hand.

Using the Gate of Heavens that had been completely refined, he immediately came to the Qingyuan Great World, in the Lingbao Palace...
