58: Building the Xuanhuang Dao Palace: A Revolution in the Cultivation World

Age 130: Through your persuasion, those Martial Saints and the factions they belonged to all joined the Xuanhuang Orthodoxy.

The Martial Saints did not have much resistance to this. After reaching the Martial Saint Realm, there were few things in this world that could concern them, and exploring higher Realms was the goal of all Martial Saints.

In their view, your current performance showed great promise in breaking the shackles of the Martial Saint Realm, achieving a Breakthrough, and reaching even higher Realms.

After the major factions joined, you obtained the original copies of their core Cultivation Techniques. In reality, while you were debating the Dao with the Martial Saints, you had already comprehended most of their core Cultivation Techniques.

However, these original copies contained insights annotated by the Martial Saints of these factions throughout the generations, and these notes provided you with quite a bit of inspiration.

You integrated all these inspirations into the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture. It is worth mentioning that everything you created was added into the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture; it could be said that even if you died, as long as the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture remained, the Xuanhuang Orthodoxy would persist.

Age 140: Your Dao of Space made significant progress. You were now able to move that stone of World Origin, so you stored it inside the xuanhuang divine talisman.

Without the energy support of the Origin stone, the efficiency of your Qi Gathering Formation dropped significantly, but the gathered Origin Qi was still sufficient for your use.

Age 150: You decided to construct a massive building to serve as the facade of the Xuanhuang Orthodoxy. You invited the Martial Saints and asked them to provide some Materials, promising to reserve a spot for them once it was built.

The Martial Saints did not oppose your decision and provided you with plenty of Materials, which pleased you.

After obtaining the Materials, you also recycled the fragments from the collapsed Demon Suppressing Pass. With the abundance of Materials, you constructed a massive and magnificent palace.

You inscribed numerous Formations on this palace, along with countless Xuanhuang runes. Supported by these Formations, the palace could float at an altitude of 100,000 meters like a floating city.

Of course, these Formations were not just for making the palace airborne; their greatest function was to unleash a devastating, world-destroying strike when fully energized.

According to your calculations, this strike was far more powerful than the one you unleashed under the support of the Xuanhuang Heaven-Covering Battle Formation. Based on the form of the attack, you named it the "World-Extinguishing Origin Qi Cannon."

Naturally, such power required a massive amount of energy, so you moved the core of the Qi Gathering Formation to this palace.

Through years of research, you had become very familiar with the principles of the Qi Gathering Formation. You refined many Formation Flags and buried them within the ley line nodes of Daqian, allowing the Qi Gathering Formation to extract Origin Qi from within Daqian out of thin air.

As for the energy required to run the Formation, it was, of course, the extracted Origin Qi. Under your control, the Qi Gathering Formation extracted one-third of the Origin Qi from the entire Daqian territory.

A small portion served as energy for the Formation's operation, a portion was stored as energy for the World-Extinguishing Origin Qi Cannon, and the remainder was used to provide for the cultivation of those in the palace.

Under the effect of the Xuanhuang runes, the palace's defense was unimaginably powerful, capable of repelling all kinds of techniques.

You named this palace the Xuanhuang Dao Palace, which would henceforth be the core and source of the Xuanhuang Orthodoxy, as well as the world's greatest defensive power.

Age 160: The Martial Saints also sensed the supreme mysteries contained within the Xuanhuang Dao Palace and one after another chose to settle there.

Age 170: By this time, the Xuanhuang Dao Palace had become the permanent residence of the Martial Saints, which you were happy to see.

Because all the Martial Saints were studying the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture, they drew wisdom from it to perfect their own martial paths. Every bit of their understanding regarding the Way of Xuanhuang would feed back into you, improving your cultivation.

Furthermore, the Martial Saints now gathered at the Xuanhuang Dao Palace most of the time, so they would debate the Dao every few days. From then on, this floating palace truly became a Holy Land for the Martial Saints to discuss and exchange ideas, where various profound insights collided and merged.

Age 180: After studying the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture, many Martial Saints improved their own cultivation methods based on the knowledge contained within.

Afterward, they passed these realizations down to their Disciples.

At this time, you also spread the complete Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture, which contained even more knowledge, across the entire world, triggering a wave of Cultivation Technique innovation that swept through the entire cultivation world.

As for whether the accessibility of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture would lead to an increase in cultivators, thereby draining the world's Origin Qi, that was impossible.

Because the Origin Qi in the world could not be drained, or it could be said that the current number of Martial Artists in the world was nowhere near enough to drain the Origin Qi.

Moreover, the Origin Qi within the world was not non-renewable. In this world, any Martial Artist above the Primordial Spirit Realm knew that the world had boundaries, and that Origin Qi surged in from the edges of the world.

You speculated that outside the world there might be things like Chaos, and that this Origin Qi was all converted from the world absorbing the power of Chaos.

During this wave of Cultivation Technique innovation, all those who cultivated the Dao of Heavenly Secrets, including the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, were awestruck by the profoundness of Karma after seeing the "Floating Dust Illuminates the World, Karma Xuanhuang Heavenly Secret Method."

Therefore, they all planned to develop in this direction to promote the progress of Heavenly Secret arts.

Body Cultivators, including those from the Dragon Elephant Sect, believed that the "genes" mentioned in the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture were extremely profound and considered them the key to further advancement for Body Cultivators.

Buddhist cultivators, such as those from Wuyou Temple, earnestly studied the Buddhist scriptures you had copied into the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture from your previous life, believing that these scriptures contained deep Buddhist principles.

Sword Cultivators from places like Divine Sword Mountain earnestly read the "Sword Dao Random Thoughts" you had inserted into the Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture. Although they knew that most of the various Sword Dao Realms recorded within were fake, they still felt a sense of yearning.

Some Sword Cultivators even truly intended to collect Materials to prepare for crafting the kind of sword pellets that could be integrated into the body, wanting to become the Sword Immortals who could "illuminate nineteen provinces with a single flash of cold light."

This was also what you wanted to see. Although some of these things were merely fantasies, and a portion were simply copied over, that did not mean these things were truly unfeasible.

Perhaps they could really research something genuine. After all, things from Earth were absolutely brand-new knowledge to these Martial Artists. What was this called? This was called "gathering the essence of two worlds."

Although your Xuanhuang Heavenly Scripture led many people astray, this wave of Cultivation Technique innovation still greatly increased the strength of the major factions and the majority of Martial Artists, and further promoted communication and cooperation between the various sects of the cultivation world.

The Xuanhuang Dao Palace also became a Holy Land that cultivators yearned for. Every day, countless cultivators came to the outside of the Dao Palace, wanting to listen to the Martial Saints debating the Dao, hoping to gain inspiration from it.

The cultivation world ushered in an unprecedented scene of prosperity. New Cultivation Techniques and new concepts emerged continuously, and the entire cultivation world radiated with vibrant vitality.
