Chapter 704: 0436 Nine Dukes Move Mountains (Requesting monthly ticket and subscription)_2
The Daoist Zhong Chong pointed his longsword at the sky.
"Great Grandmasters, step out of the array; Grandmasters and those below, use the array as a base point and attack flexibly. Do not stray far from the array, and return swiftly within it at any sign of trouble."
Wan Tiangong and others watched the Ape King unleash its powerful might, faintly pressing the Blood Prison Ghost King. Their hearts were shaken.
"The Ape King is truly powerful; during its battle with us before, it must have held back, likely recognizing our identity as disciples of the Heavenly Fighting Sect... Otherwise, even with the array, capturing it would have been extremely difficult."
Wang Xian felt a surge of joy in his heart. "It must be the Junior Brother who sent the Ape King to support us; he has become an Inner Sect Disciple."
...
Ape God Cave Mansion.
A floating cultivation square in the air.
"I’ve already sent the young ape to support them. With its strength, restraining a Ghost King at the peak of the Fifth Realm is no problem. Although its stick technique talent does not match that of the ancestor, it carries the bloodline of the ancestor. You can cultivate here in peace." Mr. Turtle looked at Lu Chenzhou with an appreciative gaze. Unexpectedly, after waking up, he found himself accepting a direct disciple of the ancestor.
"Thank you, Senior."
"The law you comprehended seems to be the World?"
"Yes."
"I see... I’m not sure about the current era’s situation. In the Great Wilderness, cultivators typically comprehend laws based on one of the Innate laws like Yin Yang Five Elements, or on acquired laws such as Saber Dao, Sword Dao, and Human Dao as the foundation. You should know, the greater the law, the harder the cultivation. Achieving the Ninth Step Great Power in the future will be as challenging as ascending to heaven. I know a bit about all the Great Powers in the Great Wilderness, and none of them have comprehended the World Law."
Mr. Turtle spoke very tactfully.
"I understand. My seniors in the human world have said the same. However, I believe that since I’ve chosen this path, I will continue forward unwaveringly. There will always be a way. Even if there really is no way in the future, I won’t regret it."
Lu Chenzhou’s gaze was firm.
He was no longer a novice at initial Dao comprehension but had stepped into the Third Realm of Dao understanding, surpassing some Great Grandmasters, such as Qin Hui, in understanding the Dao. freewёbnoνel-com
Mr. Turtle smiled and said, "As long as you understand the risks, I’m offering you advice based on how the ancestor guided others. The Dao is very personal."
"What is the ancestor’s Dao?" Lu Chenzhou thought of the ultimate pure sense of power from the Golden Armored Ape.
"[Ultimate Strength of the Dao]."
"The Extreme Dao?"
"Yes, there are too many types of Dao or laws, and the ways to categorize them are varied. Qi Refiners divide them into two main categories: [Innate] and [Acquired]. For the Innate, there’s no need to say more, with Yin Yang Five Elements being the main focus.
These Dao are the most mastered, easier to comprehend, and their upper limit is very high. However, in the Great Wilderness, Great Powers generally do not recommend their disciples to tread the Innate Dao."
"Why?"
Lu Chenzhou had a vague suspicion.
Mr. Turtle replied:
"Because the Innate Dao, also called [Divine Dao], leads to the Great Wilderness Gods, such as the [Fire Dao], corresponding to several Desolate Gods like [Bi Fang], [Zhu Yan], [Zhu Tian], and others.
Gods are naturally powerful; it can even be said that they are the self-manifestation of the Dao, nurtured by heaven and earth and coexisting with the sun and moon. Some say that the reason cultivators cannot reach the God Realm is that gods stand at the end of the Dao.
The Acquired Dao emerges after the birth of acquired beings. It follows certain rules established by the civilization, order, morality, and techniques of these beings.
The most common is the Dao of Combat Skills.
Stick Technique, Spear Skill, Swordsmanship, Fist Technique... when practiced to the extreme, any of these can lead to Dao. There is no inherent superiority between Acquired Dao and Innate Dao; what suits oneself is the best.
But some Great Powers believe that during the glory days of the gods, only the Acquired Dao offers hope to step into the God Realm. The most direct examples are Emperor Zhan and Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Zhan mastered the Stick Dao, and Emperor Xuan the Sword Dao. Their techniques have reached the pinnacle, verging on the divine!
One staff to break all methods, one sword to break all methods.
The ancestor felt that his aptitude in Stick Technique was dull and that becoming a Great Power was too difficult, so he sought another path. Drawing from the Heavenly Dragon Sect’s Body Refining Technique, he developed the [Ultimate Strength].
If the Stick Technique was lacking, then use strength to compensate.
But what the ancestor spoke of was not the abstract [Strength], but the power he discovered, one that has always existed in the universe, present in all things, yet no one in ancient times studied systematically."
Lu Chenzhou had a sudden understanding.
"What power?"
Mr. Turtle waved his hand, and the sky of the Cave Heaven World darkened, with countless stars appearing, vast and boundless.
His gaze recalled the past, exuding an overwhelming aura as he said,
"Star Power."
"..."
Lu Chenzhou understood.
Gravity.
The ancestor’s Dao is gravity.
It truly is a glorious path!
"The ancestor researched for millennia, traversed the Great Wilderness, wandered the Three Thousand Worlds, and roamed the sea of stars. Finally, on a star in a certain world, he comprehended Dao in a mine. With his astonishing perseverance, he created the "Nine Dukes Moving Mountains Scripture." This Secret Technique is a direct path to the Ninth Step. As long as one achieves the First Layer, they can grasp what the ancestor called the [Power of a Mountain]. A casual strike would have the power of a thousand-zhang mountain falling, using the body as a star to harness the power of heaven and earth. Technically, this cultivation method has no upper limit. When mastered deeply, one could shatter stars, slaughter gods, annihilate worlds... shake the Great Wilderness!"
Lu Chenzhou was shocked.
Such a sensational cultivation method was actually created by a monkey. However, considering that Great Powers often like to boast, it could be some exaggerated effect.
Mr. Turtle said: "Ultimate Strength is very compatible with some bold and vigorous Combat Skills, such as Spear Skill, Hammer Technique, Saber Technique, and Stick Technique. You embody the World Dao, encompassing all things; you should be able to cultivate it as well. Today, I will pass on a part of the "Nine Mountains Moving Mountain Scripture" to you. Your Realm is too low; the complete knowledge of the method might explode your mind. After you reach the Heavenly Realm and defeat the aging old ancestor, I will then impart the full method to you."
"Alright."
"Of course, as a Ninth Rank Secret Technique, its difficulty is very high, hard to enter, and even harder to master... So whether you learn it is up to you. In any case, as long as you can enter the Beginner phase and step into the Fifth Realm, clashing head-on with the so-called Blood Prison Ghost King, the Six-Headed Demon King should be manageable. A mere Demon Ghost is nothing. The ancestor once slew no fewer than half a dozen Demigods and even escaped from the hands of an Evil God. To become a Great Power, cross-realm combat is a must. If you can still fight across realms post-Heavenly Realm, you could one day stand shoulder to shoulder with the Four Emperors."
With a wave, Mr. Turtle transmitted a cultivation method into Lu Chenzhou’s mind through Enlightenment.
"This Secret Technique works better with the Father Lifting Fruit. It exists within the Cave Heaven too, but even Direct Disciples can’t obtain it for free. Although the ancestor is dead, the legacy of his struggle against the Evil God remains. Hence, if you wish to obtain the Father Lifting Fruit, exchange it with a Great Demon King (Ghost)."
As the words fell.
Three fruits appeared before Lu Chenzhou, emitting a primordial aura. Just by taking a whiff, Lu Chenzhou felt his physical constitution strengthening. Although his Qi-Blood didn’t increase, his body density, strength, naturally emitted biological magnetism, and solidity were all enhanced to varying degrees, with strength being the most prominent.
"Lu Chenzhou, with these three Father Lifting Fruits, if your comprehension is sufficient, it should be enough for you to master the First Layer of the "Nine Dukes Moving Mountains Scripture" within ten years. Before that, stay here and cultivate in seclusion, don’t go outside."
"Senior, I still have to participate in the trials of our civilization, I can’t stay here all the time." Lu Chenzhou sensed the complex memories in his mind, knowing that, even though it was just a fragment, reaching the First Layer of this Secret Technique was very challenging, its difficulty no less than cultivating a Supreme Divine Skill.
Mr. Turtle was puzzled.
"Is that trial so important?"
"The junior needs to complete the trial to exchange merit for the Nine Apertures Exquisite Grass, used to aid Opening the Acupoint."
"Nine Apertures Exquisite Grass? You mean [Nine-leaf Star Grass], right? It indeed is a rare top-level sea treasure. Just so happens I have one here..."
Saying this, Mr. Turtle waved his hand. A herb emitting anomalies, with nine leaves, surrounded by the celestial scene of stars appeared. "Stay here and cultivate for a dozen years, and the [Nine-leaf Star Grass] will be yours."
Lu Chenzhou was internally moved, truly the Great Power Cave Mansion, even Heavenly Treasures were here, but he said helplessly: "Junior still has to leave, my comrades are fighting Demons and Ghosts, I can’t cultivate peacefully here alone."
Seeing Lu Chenzhou so determined, Mr. Turtle laughed and said: "Good, you’ve passed the mentality test. It seems the Direct Disciple I chose for the ancestor won’t turn into a white-eyed wolf." Mr. Turtle waved his hand, and the Nine Apertures Exquisite Grass slowly floated over.
