Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 450 436 Five Immortals
In the spiritual world,
the ancient tree's brilliance flowed like ripples.
Countless energies, representing "nourishment," poured into the Alchemy branches, causing them to grow robustly.

As the branch thrived, it quickly became crystal clear and emitted bursts of lustrous, glaze-like treasure light.
When this branch transformation was complete, the entire ancient tree shrouded in the lustrous color suddenly became one. At that moment, to any onlooker, this was no longer an ancient tree; it had become indescribable—overflowing with breathtaking beauty, a divine tree, a holy tree, an immortal tree.
Endless treasure lights from the ancient tree fell like a shower, scattered in every direction, filling the whole spiritual world, creating a heart-stirringly beautiful and brilliant spectacle.
Each beam of treasure light seemed to contain massive, immeasurable information, as if the vast Milky Way above had been gathered together.
Each beam appeared to represent the total information accumulated by a star since its birth—a mere glance could make one sense the grand historical epics contained within, the billions of years through which countless beings, tribes, species flourished and declined, playacting many sagas forged by the innumerable years.
Although Alkaid hadn't deeply immersed himself in these lights to read this information, the mere sight of these starlit skies plunged him into an inexplicable state of shock.
For a long time...
Alkaid seemed to detect something.
Within the myriad stars, there appeared to be three thousand trails of various forms.
These trajectories were imperceptible, indefinable, but they undeniably existed, composing the integral glaze treasure tree.
Countless nutrients, emitting green glows, flowed through these three thousand trajectories to this expanse of stars, which in turn relayed certain information through these pathways back into the tree.
The two seemed like a mystical lifeform.
Breathing in and out, engaging in an exchange that was beyond human comprehension.
Alkaid fully immersed his mind in this process, experiencing a sense of spiritual emptiness during the "inhale and exhale," as if he could perceive the mystery of every star in the vast sky...
He became utterly intoxicated.
Like a student who could easily understand all knowledge, swimming through the endless ocean of knowledge, facing the massive truths of the universe head-on.
All the perplexities of the world seemed to find their answers here.
The laws of the universe's evolution could be enacted in a single thought.
This feeling, this wonder...
It surpassed the limits of sensory cognition.
Even breakthroughs in realms, even transformations of life, couldn't match a fraction of the profound feeling this mystery brought.
Only when Alkaid first left the Cangwu Realm, coming into the vast universe, standing among stars with his mortal body, could the touch of what he saw then be barely comparable to this feeling.
At that time, standing within the vast universe, he profoundly felt his own insignificance and the universe's grandeur.
The strong collision and push of the two thoughts nearly brought him to tears.
But at this moment, the stirring in his heart was not due to his own insignificance or the universe's greatness, but rather...
Someone had laid out all the answers of the universe before him.
It seemed...
That if he looked, he could see all the truths of the universe.
This face-to-face with truth, with reality...
Still the vast universe, so enormous that one didn't know how many billions of light-years it spanned, the truth filling one's vision, permeating one's soul...
Such sensation left Alkaid breathless.
Luckily, the perception in the spiritual world meant he didn't need to breathe.
But in this moment...
"If there really is eternal in this world... then this scene, this moment, is eternity."
Alkaid murmured to himself.
Just as the treasure lights reached their peak splendor, the sky full of stars began to converge, each beam of starlight seemingly turning into a leaf, appearing atop the tree crown.
At the same time, the tree suddenly grew once more.
From its original state, though already about ten meters and filled with a sacred, ethereal aura, it rapidly soared to twenty, thirty, forty, fifty meters...
In an instant, the tree had grown over a hundred meters tall, its massive crown covering the sky, countless starlights twinkling within it, the area and range expanding dramatically.
But when Alkaid looked up through the crown, he found that at its center, a special area was now connected.
It was like the peak of a mountain thousands of meters high hidden amidst mist.
These mists concealed parts of the crown and even veiled the entire area above it, making some places seem indistinct, almost elusive.
Alkaid was filled with profound enlightenment.
His eyes instantly focused on the original branch of cultivation.
Without him knowing when, the branch, previously representing the "Immortal Path: Shattering Void," had transformed into the words "Integrate Dao - Void."
And, as his mind immersed in the newly transformed "Integrate Dao - Void" branch, information he had never possessed before clearly emerged in his mind.
"The cultivation of the Integrate Dao... is to unite the self with the Dao, until one fully masters a Great Dao... masters one of the Three Thousand Great Daos that build the universe... and Integrate Dao... is just the qualification, the authority to fully control a Great Dao's power!"
Alkaid spoke quietly to himself.
Qualification, authority!
An Integrater, in comparison to the real Great Dao that constructs the universe, was miles apart.
A recent Integrater...
Could at most control a mere one ten-thousandth of a Great Dao's power.
The future cultivation would be to reach control of one thousandth, one hundredth, one tenth...
Until one fully mastered this Dao, reaching the ultimate state of cultivation for this Dao path—the Daoist Ancestor!
"The pinnacle of Dao Techniques... is the Origin Dao Technique, and this is where the biggest difference between a Dao Lord and a non-Dao Lord lies,"
Origin Dao Techniques differ greatly from those derived from the Origin Dao itself.
Many Dao Techniques were derived from the Great Void Path.
Techniques such as Void Blink, Sword of the Void, Eight Desolates Purgatory, and Reversing the Cosmos are all Dao Techniques derived from the Great Void Path.
The so-called Origin Dao Technique is the fusion of the myriad Dao Techniques derived from the Great Void Path, forming the Great Void Technique that leads directly to the origin of the Great Void Path.
This Great Void Technique is the true portrayal of the Great Void Path.
It is said that once the Great Void Technique is mastered, it can seal off all Dao Techniques except for those of destiny.
Even render any Dao Technique incapable of manifesting.
After all, the Void is the foundation upon which the Three Thousand Great Daos are carried and manifested; without the Great Void Path, other Great Daos would cease to exist.
This is also why the Great Void Path is known as one of the four Supreme Daos.
"The Great Void Technique..."
Alkaid let out a long breath.
If he could truly master this Origin Dao Technique...
He would definitely sweep through all the Shattered Void!
Those Shattered Void who possess Dao Techniques would not even have a chance to resist him.
Even...
"Many Dao Lords, in fact, have not transformed their Lifebound Daoist Arts into Origin Dao Techniques! It seems that only by entering the Immortal Realm and utilizing its unique environment can Lifebound Daoist Arts transform... Therefore, Origin Dao Techniques are also known as Immortal Techniques..."
Alkaid pondered.
He couldn't help but long for the Immortal Realm.
Wondering what kind of scenery the Immortal Realm would hold.
After a while, Alkaid turned his gaze to the branch of "Integrate Dao - Void."
The current progress of this branch...
Was nonexistent.
0%!
But Alkaid knew there was still a tiny bit of a specific value, but it must be below 0.01%, hence it didn't show up at all.
"Should I adjust the progress bar?"
A thought occurred to Alkaid.
"Integrate Dao - Void" had now become 1/10000.
"Going by this trend, I don't even know how long it will take to rise to one-thousandth."
Alkaid shook his head.
However...
The changes brought by the metamorphosis of the Luminous Treasure Tree were not just this.
The branches such as - Formation, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Demon Hunter, Businessman - which had been elevated to level 15, 100%, had all transformed.
Alkaid sensed the various skills that had completed their transformation, especially the Artifact Refining skill, and immediately had an understanding in his heart.
"The efficiency of deliveries will significantly increase, and the refinement of Superior Dao Artifacts, top Dao Artifacts will become even more effortless. However, for Immortal Artifacts..."
Alkaid digested the information related to Artifact Refining, gaining insight: "Now I see why the concept of Semi-Immortal Artifact Level exists. To refine an Immortal Artifact, one must transform their Lifebound Daoist Art into an Origin Dao Technique, which is an Immortal Technique! But at the Dao Lord stage, few can take this step..."
He quietly felt the information contained within the one-ten-thousandth progress of "Integrate Dao - Void."
This information was primarily based on perceptions of this Realm, with surprisingly little on cultivation.
However, it also involved some methods for fusing Immortal Techniques.
But these methods...
Were quite distinctive.
"To master an Immortal Technique is to truly Ascend to Immortality, but there are five methods to achieve Ascension,"
Alkaid quickly sorted out the various methods involved.
"To ceaselessly plunder others, refining their Origin Dao Techniques into your own, is the Path of the Ghost Immortal,"
"Using oneself as a vessel, refining one's body, essence, and spirit into an Origin Dao Technique, is the Path of the Human Immortal."
"Borrowing the spirit roots of Heaven and Earth, Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, and refining a region to cultivate an Origin Dao Technique, is the Path of the Earth Immortal."
"Going a step further and merging with the Great Dao, letting oneself undergo Dao Transformation to gain the power of the Origin Dao Technique, is the Path of the Divine Immortal."
The last step...
Which is also the most difficult one.
Is to merge countless similar Dao Techniques into one, until one glimpses the true essence of the Great Dao and cultivates the Origin Dao, which is the highest Path of the Heavenly Immortal.
"Dao Lord, Immortal, Daoist Ancestor."
This is the path of cultivation after entering the Immortal Realm.
Because Alkaid's progress in "Integrate Dao - Void" was merely one ten-thousandth, although it mentioned the path of cultivation after becoming a Dao Lord, it did not have concrete cultivation methods, and he was only half-understanding how to cultivate Immortal Techniques.
"In the end, the progress is too low. If it could reach two-ten-thousandth, or even three-ten-thousandth, I would likely be able to determine which of the five types of Immortal is most suitable for me."
Alkaid looked up, "I need to increase the progress as soon as possible."
"Whoosh!"
As he was digesting the various information brought by the Unity Realm Stage, in the Void tens of trillions of miles away from this area, on a Void node, a Dao Artifact Warship styled after the Light Divine Race tore through the sky and arrived.
