73: Self-created cultivation techniques, encompassing mountains and seas.

"Grand Chapter of the Ultimate Saintly Primordial Unity Great Dao of Myriad Laws of Great Purity?"

"Hiss~"

"The name is actually so long, what Rank of Cultivation Technique must this be? Does the Qingyuan Sect practice this? Could this be the original form of the Qingyuan True Scripture?"

Yu Xuzi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but draw in a cold breath, his heart deeply shaken.

The Qingyuan Sect's Legacy Cultivation Technique, the Qingyuan True Scripture, was far-famed, possessing a complete cultivation method from the Qi Refinement Stage to the Dharma Idol Realm. It was known to everyone in the entire continent's Cultivation World, and Yu Xuzi had naturally heard of it.

Then what was this Great Dao Chapter before him?

He roughly flipped through the sections called the Harmonizing Light Qi Refining Method and the Star Foundation Establishment Method, finding them indeed broad and profound.

So much so that there were many places he couldn't even understand.

Although it was an Origin ultimate fragmented version, it was far more profound and mysterious than the Qi Refining and Dao Foundation Chapters of the Huang Tian True Scripture he currently practiced, and it even included many powerful Spells.

For example, the star seal Magical Artifact, which was the hallmark of Qingyuan Sect Cultivators, the Star Flame unique fire, and so on, were all within it.

"So terrifyingly powerful!"

"What a pity that it only has the Qi Refining and Dao Foundation Chapters. There is a method for condensing a Profound Fetus, but there is no more content beyond that."

"To Cultivate it or not?"

Yu Xuzi fell into a dilemma.

With such a good Cultivation Technique, its visible upper limit was higher than the Huang Tian True Scripture, but it was hard to say if he could find the subsequent chapters in the future.

Furthermore, frequently switching to different Cultivation Techniques would not be beneficial to his own cultivation.

"How about... trying to create my own Cultivation Technique?"

A bold idea popped into Yu Xuzi's mind.

And then, this idea could no longer be dismissed.

He thought it over and over, and the more he thought, the more he felt that creating his own Cultivation Technique was the path most suitable for him.

The reasons were mainly the following:

First, it stemmed from Yu Xuzi's confidence in himself.

He had already been practicing for eleven years, and his natural talent and Comprehension Ability were all top-notch.

Skills like Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formations, Talismans, Beast Taming, Puppets, and so on, he basically mastered as soon as he touched them, progressing rapidly. His understanding of technique cultivation, Spells, and Divine Abilities was also very thorough.

This wasn't arrogance, but an objective fact.

At the very least, in the Qingyuan Realm, he had never heard of anyone with better talent than himself.

Therefore, Yu Xuzi believed he had the ability to create the Cultivation Technique most suitable for his own cultivation!

Second, it was because of the Resources Yu Xuzi currently possessed.

As of now, having plundered the Legacy classics of so many Sects, the Cultivation Techniques Yu Xuzi had obtained were innumerable; many he only glanced at before setting aside.

There were hundreds of Qi Refinement Stage techniques, dozens that could be cultivated to the Dao Foundation Stage, and nearly ten third-Rank Profound Fetus True Methods.

Not to mention techniques like the Huang Tian True Scripture that could break through to the Dharma Idol Realm.

And it was obvious that in the future, Yu Xuzi would obtain even more and even more powerful Cultivation Techniques.

These were all the nourishment for Yu Xuzi to create his own technique.

Third, and the most important point, a self-created Cultivation Technique is the most suitable one!

Even something as strong as the Huang Tian True Scripture could not satisfy the upper limit of his talent during the Qi Refinement Stage; he could only risk running the Dao Foundation Chapter, which led him to obtain the most powerful Dao Foundation by a stroke of luck.

Perhaps a technique he created himself would be more compatible.

"Other Cultivation Techniques, Spells, and Divine Abilities can be used as references, but the most fundamental Origin Cultivation Technique should still be self-created!"

"There's no harm in trying!"

"If it doesn't work, we'll talk then."

Yu Xuzi made up his mind.

From now on, he would set aside time every day to analyze the Profound Truths of others' techniques and begin trying to fuse and create his own methods.

Immediately after, Yu Xuzi put down the Great Dao Chapter and picked up the second Jade Slip.

"General Overview of the Shanhai Major Thousand Cultivation World."

Don't be fooled by its appearance as a tiny Jade Slip; in reality, its interior was all-encompassing, with the total word count far exceeding ten million.

As soon as Yu Xuzi's Divine Sense entered, countless words surged into his mind like a torrent.

"The Heavens and the Universe are vast and boundless, with an immeasurable number of living beings and races."

"The saying of 'Ten Thousand Worlds' is but an imaginary number; in truth, there are immeasurable worlds, generally divided into the following five Ranks: Mayfly Realm, Micro Dust World, Lesser Thousand World, Middle Thousand World, and Major Thousand Worlds!"

"There are only forty-nine Major Thousand Worlds in the heavens, and Mountains and Seas is one of them!"

"Taishang Dao Lord has ruled for hundreds of thousands of years; cultivation flourishes and our Dao prospers. Immortals and gods reside on high, and True Spirits roam freely. Thus, this overview is written to be passed down through the heavens."

"Volume One: General Overview of the Shanhai Great Realm."

"Mountains and Seas is immeasurably vast, with Five Continents and Four Seas and the Nine Heavens of Immortals. With the Taiqing Dao Lineage passed down by the Dao Lord as the backbone, the Shanhai Dao Alliance was established..."

"..."

Yu Xuzi was instantly immersed.

There were so many words that even after half a day had passed, with Yu Xuzi's photographic memory speed, he had only read a very, very small part.

"This is... what the Shanhai Major Thousand Worlds look like!"

Just by looking at the written descriptions, Yu Xuzi felt his heart surge and his blood boil.

It was a kind of awe toward the unknown and the profound.

It was also from this Jade Slip that Yu Xuzi learned of all the cultivation Realms in the Universe.

The five stages before the Human Race's Immortal Ascension—Qi Refining, Dao Foundation, Profound Fetus, Dharma Image, and Primordial Spirit—Yu Xuzi already knew.

The sixth stage afterward was called:

[Dao-Merging True Immortal]!

Their Divine Abilities were unimaginable; after merging with Laws, even the aftershocks of a battle were enough to destroy countless Micro Dust Worlds like the Qingyuan Realm.

Their Lifespan even reached 120,000 years!

In extreme cases, by surviving multiple True Immortal tribulations, one could even live for over 200,000 years!

In comparison, a fifth-Rank Primordial Spirit Dao Lord only had 10,000 years of life; Dao-Merging truly deserved the name of 'True Immortal.'

And such True Immortals were not uncommon in the Shanhai Major Thousand Worlds, where they were considered the mainstay.

As for the seventh-Rank Realm, it was called:

[Mahayana Immortal Lord]!

Their Lifespan was measured in millions of years; unless they fell in battle, few died of old age.

Their Divine Abilities were even enough to control the Laws of Heaven and Earth. They were top-tier combat powers in the heavens and were among the notable figures in the Shanhai Major Thousand Worlds.

Further up, the eighth-Rank was called:

[Taiyi Dao Fruit]!

Daoist Cultivators of the Human Race respectfully called them: Dao Lord.

Divine path Cultivators respectfully called them: Heavenly Emperor.

Buddhist Cultivators respectfully called them: Buddha Ancestor.

Heaven and Earth True Spirits respectfully called them: Great Sage.

And so on.

This was the absolute peak of cultivation in the heavens, with an immeasurable Lifespan of billions of years, nearly eternal and undying.

Further up, there was no longer a path.

And such Taiyi existences were not detailed in this Mountains and Seas overview because there was only one in the entire Mountains and Seas Realm.

[Taishang Myriad Laws Most Holy Immortal Truth Abyssal Great Dao Lord]

This was that person's Daoist title and honorific name.

Seeing this, Yu Xuzi finally understood what kind of Cultivation Technique the first volume, the Great Dao Chapter, was.

An eighth-Rank Cultivation Technique!

The cultivation method of the Taishang Dao Lord, passed down through the countless Taiqing Orthodoxies within the Shanhai Major Thousand Worlds, belonged to the top-tier Cultivation Techniques in the heavens!

"Hiss~"

"With such a good Cultivation Technique, do I still need to create my own?"

Seeing this, Yu Xuzi couldn't help but feel like retreating.

It wasn't that his conviction was weak, but that the Origin of this Great Dao Chapter was simply too great!

Could the Qi Refining and Dao Foundation Chapters of his self-created technique be as powerful as this fragmented Great Dao Chapter?

Absolutely impossible!

It would be good if it had even one-ten-thousandth of its mystery.

No matter how confident Yu Xuzi was, he couldn't possibly be arrogant to that extent.

Then... "Create! Why not create it!"

Yu Xuzi only hesitated for a moment before his confidence became firm once again.

"Having such a profound Cultivation Technique to use as a template and nourishment, I should be happy!"

"Besides, I haven't even started yet, how can I give up?"

"The Great Dao Chapter is Taishang's Law, what does it have to do with me, Taiyin?"
