1299: Chapter 383 Tai’a Mountain, Rise 1299: Chapter 383 Tai’a Mountain, Rise “Dark Snow…”
Qing gazed upon the dusky blue snowflakes before him, naturally uttering the name.
This was one of the Netherworld King’s uniquely created cultivation techniques; the purple ice sealing everything above was the ultimate manifestation of Dark Snow when cultivated to the extreme.
It was with this that Netherworld King had once broken through into the Immortal Sovereign State.
Naturally, breaking through to the Immortal Sovereign relied more upon one’s own understanding of the Tao, not solely on a cultivation technique.
Any cultivation technique could push open the doors to the immortal realm at its pinnacle; to advance further, one had to tread their own path.
Just like the Transforming Beast Guide, reaching its zenith could merely open the doors to the immortal realm with the merging of four bodies into one.
But cultivation techniques are like the foundation of a building, and the doors to the immortal realm they push open are distinct.
For some, behind the doors lays a straight path to the heavens, while for others a narrow winding road, and that’s considering the fortunate ones.
Some may find the road utterly cut-off.
Naturally, this was how things stood in the past, but now it no longer matters.
After all, no one can open the doors to the immortal realm anymore.
Even if one doesn’t practice this cultivation technique, its reference value is tremendous.
Perhaps his mind is too open.
Just a glance, and Qing feels as though he has gained something.
Although Qing does not follow the path of ice and snow, there’s no issue with deriving enlightenment from related concepts.
The same applies to both Ji Feixue and Su Huanian.
The Illusory Snow Gate is also suitable.
Of course, Qing would need to inspect it first.
The Illusory Snow Gate protected the Divine God Card for thirty million years for him, so naturally, they deserved a set of cultivation techniques that lead directly to the Immortal Realm.
However, there are many cultivation techniques; whether to pass down such a top-tier technique depends on the circumstances.
Illusionary Ice, Channel Spirit, Yellow Springs, Sky Ghost, Earth Book…
There are too many cultivation techniques; one simply cannot learn them all.
Qing suddenly remembers something.
Guiwang Mountain is the Genesis Land; the cultivation techniques of All Heavens originate from Guiwang Mountain.
Actually…
most of them come from the legacy of his Third Senior Brother.
The First Senior Brother is the father-in-law, the Netherworld King is the Second Senior Sister.
The Third Senior Brother was the First-Generation Taoist Master of Guiwang Mountain.
He is merely known as Xuan.
Perhaps because the deeds of both the father-in-law and Netherworld King were too shocking for the common world—one founded the Heavenly Court, the other the Netherworld—it is only the Third Senior Brother who honestly inherited the family business, took charge of Guiwang Mountain, and dutifully passed down and taught the Tao.
His contributions span millennia, but his fame is not prominent.
Looking at the Tai Chi Diagram hanging on Guiwang Mountain, one could guess that the Third Senior Brother might truly be a person of the Tao.
Indifferent, pure, and non-active…
As Sect siblings, Netherworld King’s legacy probably contains a heritage not inferior to that of a Tao Master.
Substantial and complex!
This is a lineage that could support an entire world!
Netherworld!
Initially, Netherworld King may have intended to create a true Netherworld Realm, which is why there are innumerable techniques here, most of which lean towards the ghostly path of Yellow Springs.
Qing’s eyes brightened as a projection fell into the Netherworld within his Inner World.
His gaze swept over the ghost generals standing with their swords.
Indeed!
The method by which Baiyin condensed the ghost general, he could see the shadow of Netherworld King’s “Soul-shaping” at a glance.
This ghost general was the one Baiyin snatched from Qing during his first journey through ancient times.
After Qing left, Baiyin raided Zhenyou Mountain, acquiring his legacy there before returning to shape this ghost general.
Netherworld King possesses a complete Netherworld legacy, whereas he has a Netherworld within his Inner World.
Even though fundamentally, no living creatures with awakened Spirit Wisdom should arise in the Inner World…
who knows?
Perhaps one day he could slay a group of people and take them into his Inner World.
Thinking thus, he suddenly felt a deep sense of pity.
In the past, he shouldn’t have slain his enemies; rather, he should have brought them back to become true beings within his Inner World.
The stronger the beings within are, the greater the benefits he, as the “Boundary Lord,” naturally acquires.
Amitabha Buddha!
Being a direct disciple of the Taoist Ancestor naturally means being directly taught by the Buddha Lord himself.
As a Buddha’s Son, he will abstain from killing henceforth!
Offering every living being a thread of Life Energy, even the deadliest of foes deserve a chance for redemption if at all possible!
Qing made up his mind.
“Senior Sister, most of your legacy actually shouldn’t be spread; the doctrine of clarity and darkness has not yet emerged among the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Why not keep it inside my Inner World?”
No wonder no one has ever been able to enter Zhenyou Mountain—how could the dead travel to Guiwang Mountain to seek apprenticeship?
The path of Yin and Yang cultivation for ghosts has been severed; even the Ascending Immortal Drum cannot be sounded, making entry to the Sect gate impossible!
The Netherworld King’s Great Tao remains here, with no possibility of inheritance.
Take them away!
Speaking thus, Qing absorbed the legacies into his Inner World.
His voice resonated within the Netherworld.
“Establish the Netherworld King’s Bookstore to preserve the Netherworld King’s inheritance.
Within my realm, those with significant contributions may inherit!”
A majestic voice reverberated within the Inner World.
When Qing speaks in the Inner World, it is as if the Heavenly Charter is being articulated.
A grand hall erupted into being within the Netherworld Realm, situating itself at the Foot of Tai’a Mountain.
A succession of legacies, revealing their forms, became Yellow Springs, Black Dragons, bolts of lightning, mountains…
and flowed into the Netherworld King’s Bookstore, turning into various inheritances.
Whether as books, Jade Slips, or other marvels.
Beams of light also descended upon the beings in the Netherworld.
Whether ghost generals or the thirty-seven individuals of the former Sky Fury Clan, they all awaited Qing for millennia with unwavering loyalty, surely deserving inheritance.
Even the Yi River, which strove diligently within the Netherworld over the years.
No one knows what happened to the cultivators of the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, unable to open the doors to the immortal realm.
But could it be that those beings now entirely belonging to his Inner World might be able to open their doors to the immortal realm?
Qing contemplated this possibility at the bottom of his heart.
If they could open the immortal doors, how great a power boost would the beings of the Inner World who achieved this bring to him?
Unimaginable!
Even though they were scattered across various places within the Netherworld, they all heard the grand celestial music from above at the same time.
Felling the addition of new cultivation techniques within their sea of consciousness, thirty-nine individuals bowed down in unison.
The highest realm among them was none other than Yi River.
Previously, a Stepping Sky Seven-fold cultivator, but only an ordinary member of the Tian Nu Clan at that level.
From being an immortal, they were still further than a mortal from reaching Stepping Sky Seven-fold.
Seeing the Dark Symbols in their Intention Orifice, their entire beings prostrated onto the ground.
Becoming beings within the Inner World, they already held utmost devotion towards Qing, and receiving such a grace now made it even harder for them to contain themselves.
