262: Secrets, the future path of cultivation

Xu Qing naturally didn't know the Ancestor of Bei Yin's thoughts, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

"Ten years!"

Xu Qing murmured.

Ten years in the outside world meant three thousand six hundred years had passed on the nine-dragon carriage!

He had never Cultivated for such a long time, but the rewards from this extended period were undoubtedly immense, as he had forged a Dao path that did not belong to the current methods of Cultivation.

"System, lift the message block!"

Inside Xu Qing's Sea of Consciousness, lines of text appeared, and prompts sounded.

"Host: Xu Qing"

"Identity: Xu Clan Chief"

"Origin Qi Cultivation: Peerless Quasi-Emperor; Body Refining Cultivation: Dao Severing Early Stage; Unknown Martial Dao System Cultivation: Dao Severing Perfection (Has forged a new path of Cultivation, combat power comparable to Dao Lord Realm Perfection!)"

"Aptitude: Eternal"

"Physique: Chaos Dao Body (Perfection), Void Dao Body (Perfection), Chaos Dao Eye (Perfection), Undying Dao Body (Perfection), Heaven and Earth Dao Heart (80%)"

"Luck: Nine-Colored"

"Power: Dao Family"

"Family Mall: Supreme Rank"

"family points: 160.5651 billion"

"Family Luck Spirit: Purple-Gold Sacred Dragon (48.65 billion zhang)"

"Talents: Investment Return, Plunder Luck, Heavenly Secret Obscuration, Heavenly Dao Pressure, Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains!"

"Territories: Netherworld: 10 Ghost Domains; Eternal Continent: 76 Territories; Middle Thousand Worlds: 1; Second Star Ring: 1721 medium-grade planets; Third Star Ring: 33420 low-grade planets!"

"Mysterious Gift Packs: 3; Mysterious Grand Gift Packs: 1; Mysterious Super Gift Packs: 1!"

"Note: Given the host has conquered too many regions, from now on, the Saint and Emperor Domains of the Eternal Continent will no longer be displayed, but rather represented by the area of a territory. Areas less than one territory will not be recorded; the Netherworld will be calculated by domain, and areas less than one domain will not be recorded!"

"Note: Each Ghost Domain provides 2.5 billion family points per month; each Middle Thousand Worlds provides 20 million family points per month; each medium-grade planet provides 15 million family points per month; each low-grade planet provides 5 million family points per month; and each territory provides 5 million family points per month!"

"System, what's with this 'unknown Cultivation'?"

"Ding! The Eternal Dao Realm was opened by Pan Huang. The Cultivation Realms in this Realm are based on the Origin Qi System created by Pan Huang, which is the method of Martial Dao Cultivation; later, various people in the Eternal Dao Realm successively created Divine Dao, Demonic Path, Immortal Dao, Ghost Dao, Alchemy Dao, Body Refining, and so on, but only Divine Dao and Body Refining have the potential to reach Eternal!"

"What happened later? Did anyone reach Eternal?" Xu Qing quickly asked.

"Ding! The creator of Divine Dao was Nine Heavens, and the highest achiever was Jun Tian, who reached Half-step Eternal. Later, there was the action of Myriad Races destroying the Heavens, and even Nine Heavens, strong as he was, ended with the destruction of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, and eight of the Nine Heavens perishing!"

"The creator of Body Refining was Human Emperor Shi, one of the three ancestors of the Human Race. He collected the methods of Innate Gods and Devils and Myriad Races, comprehended for tens of thousands of years, and finally created the 'Other Shore Divine Demon Art,' thereby stepping into the Half-step Eternal Realm. Later, there was the invasion of Chaos Race during the Dark Era, which ended with Human Emperor Shi's demise and 70% of the Chaos Race being exterminated!"

Xu Qing's expression changed, and he felt a chill. Connecting this to what Yang Heaven had told him, he seemed to have learned something extraordinary.

The two calamities, no matter how he looked at them, felt like someone was guiding them, with the goal of preventing the birth of an Eternal Realm expert in the Eternal Dao Realm!

If it weren't for Yang Heaven's words and the System's two "laters," Xu Qing would never have thought of this. Perhaps many of those in the Upper Realm were still kept in the dark!

"System, do you know that hidden mastermind?" Xu Qing asked.

After waiting for a while, the System did not reply, which was within Xu Qing's expectations.

"System, what kind of path am I walking?"

"Ding! The Origin Qi System, starting from the Body Tempering Realm, involves Cultivating Origin Qi and comprehending the Great Dao. When the Great Dao reaches Perfection, one severs the shackles of the Eternal Dao Realm and transcends oneself. At this time, the Small World ascends to a Middle Thousand Worlds. In the years to come, by absorbing enough Chaos Origin Qi, it will ascend to a Major Thousand Worlds. At that point, one's own body will evolve into the Great Dao, controlling the Major Thousand, which is the Dao Lord Realm."

"A Dao Lord Realm expert, by absorbing Chaos Profound Qi and evolving Chaos Primordial Qi to enrich the foundation of the Major Thousand Worlds, can then attempt to evolve living beings. Some of the Myriad Races originate from this. Only by giving birth to living beings can the Major Thousand Worlds be considered complete, and then one can Breakthrough to the Dao Lord Realm!"

"Thereafter, one Cultivates oneself, achieves the Body of a Dao Ancestor, then condenses the Great Dao World, crosses the Sea of Bitterness, ascends to the Other Shore, and achieves Eternal!"

"The Body Refining path does not Cultivate the Great Dao, nor does it evolve worlds. It only Cultivates the self, using one's body as a furnace to refine Heaven And Earth Treasure, refine all things in the world, and even the Great Dao, continuously strengthening the Physical Body, breaking all laws with pure strength, thereby crossing the Sea of Bitterness and reaching the Other Shore!"

"The path the host is walking is merely a prototype (prototype). It has shadows of both Martial Dao and Body Refining. With the Supreme Physical Body as Chaos and the myriad Great Daos as the Realm, the System does not know what comes next!"

"However, all methods in Heaven and Earth ultimately lead to the same destination! The System suggests that the host Cultivate his Physical Body, strengthen his Dao Realm, and nourish himself with myriad Dao Realms to cross the Sea of Bitterness and ascend to the Other Shore. As for whether this is feasible, the System cannot judge!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

Soon, his eyes became resolute. The System's suggestion was not without reason. The path was beneath his feet. Since he had chosen this path, he would walk it to the end. If there was no way forward, he would break everything and forge his own path.

With this thought, his gaze turned to his System panel!

"System, is your Rank setting based on the Martial Dao System or the System I am following?"
