Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect

The power of Yin and Yang was continuous and unbroken, but the might of the Thunder Sea was even more vast, especially the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" unleashed by the Purple Lightning Hammer, which contained a trace of the might of the Heavenly Dao.

The Golden Winged Great Roc's face was extremely ugly; he had believed that with his peerless speed in the world and the "Flask of Yin and Yang Essence" he refined with his innate Yin Yang Qi, he would be invincible in the Taiyi Realm. However, he never expected that in this world, there was someone like Xuanqing who, in the same realm, was his equal in both Magic Treasures and speed.

"Boom!"

Perhaps the Golden Winged Great Roc's refining technique was too crude; the perfectly good Yin Yang Qi, comparable to a Top Grade Spiritual Treasure, was refined by him into a High Grade Spiritual Treasure.

At this moment, when the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder struck, it immediately exceeded the devouring limit of the "Flask of Yin and Yang Essence," and the evolving Yin Yang Black Hole instantly vanished into thin air.

"What a waste of heaven's gifts!"

Watching this scene, Xuanqing couldn't help but shake his head; comparing people can lead to death and comparing goods can force a throw away. The Golden Winged Great Roc was far from his elder brother Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, known to brush against all things, could even withstand two attacks from a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Yet the Golden Winged Great Roc had actually refined the inherent Innate Yin Yang Qi into a Spiritual Treasure, and his technique was still inadequate, only managing to craft a High Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Although he was very unwilling to get involved with Karma, since the Golden Winged Great Roc was seeking trouble, Xuanqing would not have the slightest fear. The deterrence of being the Phoenix Clan's Crown Prince was significant, but in front of the Jie Sect, in front of the Tongtian Sect Master, it was still not enough.

"Sword light divides!"

Xuanqing summoned the power of thunder, channeling it into the Magic Sword in his hand, and in an instant, 129,600 peerless sword lights appeared in the void.

These sword lights, containing the power of thunder and corresponding to the number of the primordial unity, arranged in some peculiar formation, instantly formed a grandiose and vast Thunder Sword Array.

"Upper Pure World Suppressing Sword Formation!"

The sword lights linked together in an airtight formation, like the Heavenly River pouring down, like a sword qi dragon, stirring the cosmos, and instantly turning into a torrent that pierced through the body of the Golden Winged Great Roc.

"No!"

At this moment, the Golden Winged Great Roc was overcome with regret. He possessed the world's swiftest speed, with one flap of his wings covering ninety thousand miles, confident that no one in the Taiyi Realm could stop him.

But unexpectedly, Xuanqing's speed was not a bit slower than his, and because of a moment of carelessness, he was paralyzed by thunder and trapped within the Sword Array.

"Dare to make a move against the poor Daoist, you must be prepared to lose your life!" Xuanqing sneered coldly, immediately urged his Divine Skills, obliterating both the physical body and Primordial Spirit of the Golden Winged Great Roc, and then manipulated the Upper Pure Immortal Light to draw the "Flask of Yin and Yang Essence" and the golden Great Halberd in the opponent's hand to his side: "Truly, seeking opportunities is not as fast as seizing them!"

Killing for treasure brings golden belts; building bridges and roads leaves no corpses. Many people accumulate merit through good deeds, but lacking the protection of the Dao, the treasures they obtain often fall into the hands of others.

In the Primordial world of survival of the fittest, this is all the more true; no one knows when and where a Cultivator might suddenly appear to take your life.

Xuanqing has been in the East Sea for hundreds of years, considering himself rarely involved in troubles. Now, he had merely visited the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and had been targeted by the Golden Winged Great Roc.

Had he not retained some techniques, it's possible that all his Magic Treasures would have been cheapened by the other party.

"Retreat is the best strategy!"

After slaying the Golden Winged Great Roc, Xuanqing did not linger in place. After disturbing the Heavenly Mechanism with the "Innate Eight Diagrams," he directly escaped millions of miles away.

After all, the opponent was the Phoenix Clan's Crown Prince, with a background and status. Xuanqing, being a Saint's disciple, was not inferior in any way, but he feared that some might not place Saints in their eyes.

If someone were to bully the weak, Xuanqing would be helpless; he surely couldn't expect that after his own death, the Tongtian Sect Master would annihilate the Phoenix Clan to avenge him!

In fact, in the East Sea, the great battle between him and the Golden Winged Great Roc had many witnesses. With billions of sea creatures, Xuanqing could not possibly slay them all.

He has indeed accumulated much merit, but he does not wish to unnecessarily increase his Karma.

As long as the other party does not bully the weak, even if they come seeking trouble, Xuanqing is not the least bit afraid.

Before taking action, it's best to learn about the Four Swords of Slaying Immortal from Tongtian Sect Master first!

Furthermore, it was the Golden Winged Great Roc who made the first move this time, leaving the Phoenix Clan in the wrong.

What is there to fear?

After confirming that there were no pursuers, Xuanqing immediately found a small island and casually formed a temporary cave dwelling to inspect the gains from slaying the Golden Winged Great Roc.

That golden halberd is merely a high-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure, but it contains a thread of True Fire Essence, which grants it considerable power. In the hands of the Golden Winged Great Roc, it was a waste!

The "Flask of Yin and Yang Essence," however, is something that really grates on Xuanqing, making his teeth itch. The precious Innate Yin Yang Qi, originally with boundless potential, was recklessly turned by the Golden Winged Great Roc into such an object.

"I wonder if it's possible to return it to its original state, restoring the Innate Yin Yang Qi back to its initial form?"

Xuanqing sighed.

He himself definitely couldn't do it. He would have to wait until he returns to Kunlun Mountain to see whether Tongtian Sect Master, the Saint, has the miraculous power to revive it!

If even the Saint couldn't do it, then it's probably only the legendary Qiankun Cauldron that has such ability!

After simply branding the two Spiritual Treasures with his mark, Xuanqing began to examine the Yimu Essence that Meng Zhang, the Divine Monarch, had given him in the land of Dongji.

The Azure Dragon is associated with wood, dominating the Eastern direction, constantly exuding the Innate Qi of Yimu. The Yimu Essence, however, requires the condensation of over tens of thousands of Yimu Qi.

Its value needs no explanation!

Most importantly, the Yimu Essence contains a hint of Creation True Intent, endlessly vital, which might enable Xuanqing's Creation and Transformation Skill to attain a breakthrough.

This Cultivation Technique, bestowed by Nuwa, is also the foundation of his synthesis of all methods. As this Technique ascends to a higher level, both his Creation Furnace and Refining Dao would grow stronger.

Regretfully, Tongtian Sect Master establishes his path through swords and doesn't possess deep insight into the Creation Skill, so after consulting him, Xuanqing didn't gain much.

He could only explore on his own!

"Refine!"

With a mere thought, Xuanqing directed the Yimu Essence into his Dantian, and then started to operate the Creation and Transformation Skill in an attempt to refine it completely.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed by. With the Innate Eight Diagrams and "Golden Radiance Crown" obscuring the Heavenly Mechanism Cause and Effect, he wasn't worried about the Phoenix Clan coming to trouble him.

Before he left the mountain, he had specifically consulted with Tongtian Sect Master. The combination of the two, along with the disarray of Heavenly Mechanism during the calamity period, would make it extremely difficult even for a Saint to deduce his whereabouts.

This confidence is his foundation!

Assisted by the Yimu Essence, his "Creation Furnace" has become even more powerful. With every move he makes, threads of Creation and Transformation Essence linger around him.

Xuanqing stepped out of his cave dwelling and walked upon the earth. Not concealing the Creation and Transformation Essence emitting from his body, the vegetation in the areas he passed through experienced explosive growth.

"Not bad!"

Xuanqing appraised himself, then rode a beam of sword light, appearing thousands of miles away in an instant.

The opportunities in the East Sea seemed to be beyond his reach, and he knew better than to force it. With a single thought, he considered visiting the Human Clan Tribe first.

Currently, Nuwa's decree to protect the Human Race for one grand cycle is still in effect. Furthermore, Taiching's establishment of Human Sect and his transmission of the Golden Core Great Dao have made many powerful beings curious yet not daring to blatantly examine the Human Race.

The lifestyle of the Human Race at the moment is actually still bearable, so Xuanqing has not returned.

Besides, although the present Human Race practices Divine Skills and Spells, there are still many who live a primitive lifestyle. There's always been a subtle barrier between him and the people of this era.

And this is something he does not want to confront and somewhat struggles to accept.
