"Daoist Palace Master?"

"Dao Arts Rule the Age?"

Shen Hex’s eyes narrowed.

Once again, it’s a unique advancement.

A Seeker advances to a Law Founder, and a Law Founder advances to a Daoist Palace Master; it’s all unique advancement with no other choices.

Multiple choices in the early stage set the direction.

Unique advancement in the later stage leads to ultimate sublimation.

As long as the direction is correct, the outcome won’t be poor.

Shen Hex looked at the professional panel.

"Daoist Palace Master: Seek the Dao and create laws, propagate teachings across the world. You establish a path through your own Dao, setting a precedent never seen before, with monumental achievements that astonish the ancient and present. Though still a mortal cultivator, you are a Dao lord, spreading the law to the world, enlightening all beings, with immeasurable merit.

Through methods like spreading the law, imparting knowledge, and enlightenment, you can gain massive experience. The cultivation effects of all techniques are greatly enhanced. The efficiency of Daoist Palace disciples and the cultivators under your jurisdiction in practicing Daoist Palace cultivation techniques is significantly improved, providing you with a certain degree of feedback."

"Professional Talent: Dao Arts Rule the Age (Moral Edification, Law and Order of the Human Heart, you establish the greatness of the Human Dao, supplementing the deficiency of Heaven and Earth, filling the world’s void. The union of Heaven and Man, the Human Dao aiding the Celestial Dao, the Celestial Dao nourishing the Human Dao. The Power of Heaven and Earth’s Primordial Spirit will be enhanced with the fruition of "Dao Arts Rule the Age," simultaneously strengthening the power of Dao Arts Rule the Age, achieving the Orthodox Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Orthodox Techniques of the Universe.)"

"..."

Looking at the professional and talent effects of the Daoist Palace Master, Shen Hex fell silent.

In terms of basic professional strength, the Daoist Palace Master is the advanced stage of a [Law Founder], further enhancing the effect of creating the Dao and spreading the law. Daoist Palace disciples and the cultivators under governance also gain some benefits, providing feedback to him as the Dao lord, akin to gathering numerous practitioners of cultivating immortality.

This effect is strong but not surprising, as many "leadership-type" professions have such traits. For instance, before in the Spirit Control Realm, his advancement as the Spirit Control Martial Monarch and Celestial Destiny Saint Master also improved the cultivation effects of spirit beasts and disciples under his command, providing feedback.

Therefore, in terms of basic professional strength, the Daoist Palace Master is not particularly outstanding, standing equal with the [Celestial Destiny Saint Master], which he advanced to after accumulating over a thousand years in the Spirit Control Realm.

But the subsequent talent effect allows it to surpass the Celestial Destiny Saint Master abruptly, even leaving it far behind.

Dao Arts Rule the Age!

This professional talent has two layers of effects.

The first is using the power of the Human Dao to strengthen the Primordial Spirit Power of the Celestial Dao!

What is the greatest issue in Taiyuan Heaven and Earth?

It’s the decline of heaven and earth, the degradation of the world!

If nature’s spiritual energy didn’t wane, and the world’s position didn’t fall, remaining a thousand-fold realm, then not just an Eighth Realm Returning Void Cultivation Mo Yunzi, even a True Immortal or True Demon of the Twelfth Realm and beyond wouldn’t pose a world-ending calamity.

But the decline of heaven and earth, the degradation of the world, is hard to prevent; otherwise, why would those Ancient Immortals and Demons leave for distant lands to ascend to the Upper Realm?

So, this is an unsolvable dilemma.

But now Shen Hex has found a partial solution.

Dao Arts Rule the Age, using humanity to supplement heaven.

The greater the works of peace, the stronger the power of heaven and earth.

Theoretically, as long as the Taiyi Daoist Palace keeps developing and thriving, using the power of peace from the Human Dao to bolster the Primordial Spirit Power of Heaven and Earth, one day, Taiyuan Heaven and Earth will recover its thousand-fold status, becoming once again a realm of Primordial Spirits, a world of Immortals and Demons.

Although this is just theory and hard to accomplish in practice, it at least opens a pathway to restoring the "Power of Heaven and Earth."

This is crucial!

Shen Hex has advanced through many stages and transformed professions many times, but this is the first time encountering such a power capable of "world restoration."

This greatly resolves the predicament of him and the Taiyi Daoist Palace.

Although in recent years, the Taiyi Daoist Palace has developed rapidly, with the Five Elements Array, Demon-Locking Tower, Sword Valley, and others thriving and flourishing, as a self-aware leader, Shen Hex clearly understands that despite their current grandeur, they’re merely flamboyant displays, destined to burn out eventually.

To change this situation, a fundamental problem must be resolved.

Resources!

The production techniques Shen Hex transported from the Human Empire, along with methods like Five Elements Lock Demon and Borrowing Illusion for Cultivation, only increased productivity through improved utilization rates.

The fundamental issue of resources hasn’t been altered.

It’s like having a single barrel of water. Even if you use it to its fullest—washing your face, body, vegetables, and finally the dishes, before flushing the toilet—you manage to achieve the effect of ten barrels from one. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But what difference does it make?

It’s still one barrel and won’t become ten, let alone infinite.

This is the fundamental issue of resources!

If this problem is not solved, the development of Taiyi Daoist Palace will eventually hit a dead end. Once resources run out and cannot sustain further, not even his unmatched power can quell inner unrest and the collapse of order, leading to inevitable reincarnation.

Without planning for eternity, one cannot plan for the moment.

Shen Hex had been contemplating this issue but never found a solution, after all, it’s a dilemma that even Immortals and Demons find insurmountable. What could a mere mortal cultivator like him do?

But his inability doesn’t mean the "profession" cannot.

What is meant by cheating?

This is what cheating means!

Dao Arts Rule the Age, the harmony of heaven and man, using the achievements of peace to enhance the power of heaven.

It’s as if a well has been opened. As long as the Taiyi Daoist Palace continues to develop and the mutual strengthening of heaven and man continues, the resources of the Primordial Spirit won’t be exhausted. It may even be possible to achieve a balance between income and expenditure, leading to perpetual development.

Although it’s just potential, the actual outcome and possibility of perpetuity depend on the specific effect of "Dao Arts Rule the Age," but regardless, it has opened a conduit. Even if balance and perpetual development aren’t attainable, it can at least extend time, providing an opportunity for breakthroughs.

The significance is immense, with incalculable value!

This is the first effect of Dao Arts Rule the Age, using the Human Dao to augment the Celestial Dao.
