Chapter 443: Chapter 226: Ninth Grade Golden Core Half-step Immortal, Each Dao Seed—A Heaven (Part 2)

This piqued Zheng Yi’s curiosity. Since Divine Thought Patriarch kept it in the core area of the Daoist Canon, it proves that this map is indeed one of the most precious treasures.

Even for Divine Thought Patriarch, its importance exceeds that of many magic inheritance texts.

However, after the string of information left by Divine Thought Patriarch on the secret map flooded into his mind, Zheng Yi’s pupils slightly shrank, feeling a great interest.

"Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven Blessed Land?!"

"It’s actually the core secret map of this place..."

Isn’t this the secret realm that Master Xuan Chun of Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect, Yin Shili, issued an ultimatum to Zheng Yi to enter during the War of Dao Destruction?!

"This map holds more mysteries, as if there’s a certain directionality..."

Zheng Yi became interested and carefully examined the map again, clearly seeing that the secret realm map marked many locations and treasure names.

No wonder this secret realm could trigger the Dao Destroying War and War of Demon Slaying between the Righteous and Demonic Dao, it is indeed extraordinary.

It is a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land left by Ancient Cultivators from ancient times, although now long abandoned, the resources left inside still make the Righteous and Demonic Dao covet them greatly.

Just from the names of those treasures and spiritual objects marked on the secret realm map, it seems some things can even tempt Golden Core Cultivators.

And at the most core marking, Divine Thought Patriarch left a thick red mark and drew special symbols, the name on it made Zheng Yi’s heart move.

"Heaven-Cutting Vine?!"

"The name of this thing, how bold..."

At this moment, along the red mark his fingertip touched, it immediately transformed into a symbol and surged into Zheng Yi’s forehead, Zheng Yi did not stop it, it’s the Divine Thought Patriarch from a thousand years ago.

Then, the information and significance represented by the Heaven-Cutting Vine immediately fed back into Zheng Yi’s mind.

Manifesting one by one.

As this string of information was known to Zheng Yi, his always calm expression suddenly had a slight change, his eyebrows slightly raised, showing a solemn expression, couldn’t help but say.

"So that’s it?"

"If it really is as described, claiming to cut the heavens, it’s indeed somewhat true to its name..."

No wonder Zheng Yi is showing this expression at this moment.

Because the origin and function of the Heaven-Cutting Vine truly exceeded his expectations, even shaking his Dao Heart slightly.

This thing is useless for Qi Cultivation, fruitless for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, for Nascent Soul Level Patriarchs, it is even more of a worthless thing among worthless things.

But for Purple Mansion Cultivators like Zheng Yi, even Golden Core Cultivators, it is indeed a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object.

It is even a supreme treasure for advancing to Upper-Grade Golden Core.

As it is said, the Heavenly Dao is divided into ten parts, I with my Great Dao cut nine.

This is, Dao of Cutting.

The so-called "Dao of Cutting" is the "Dao of Severing", akin to severing the Outer Dao.

The Great Dao is fifty, Heavenly Development is forty-nine, leaving one thread as life force, which is the opportunity of all things competing, and if seized it is fortune, if missed it is fate.

This is the mystery of Dao of Cutting, which is the Dao of cutting the life force of heaven and earth, turning it into one’s own use.

Heaven and earth are perfect, but within perfection, there must be a thread left, this is, supreme Heavenly Dao.

Everything will have a share of life force, just like around a venomous snake, within seven steps there must be an antidote.

Like the Golden Core Level, once formed, almost no hope of continuing to advance.

But things are not always unchanging, in certain special areas, some special spiritual objects exist, these spiritual objects seize the creation of heaven and earth, nurturing spirituality, thereby giving birth to some unique divine effects.

And Heaven-Cutting Vine is such a treasure, one of the most precious treasures for advancing to Upper-Grade Golden Core.

Because the effect of Heaven-Cutting Vine is to sever the essence of Outer Dao to supplement oneself, transforming into oneself, condensing the Divine Dao Seed, enhancing the Golden Core’s level.

And it is a harmless enhancement.

In other words, if a True Man at Lower Three Grades of Golden Core obtains it, they can use this Heaven-Cutting Vine to absorb some essence of external things to assist in condensing the Power of Rules and thus form a Divine Dao Seed, enhancing the Golden Core level.

Of course, the level to which the Golden Core can be enhanced is not fixed, but jointly determined by the cultivator’s foundation, accumulation, and the most basic Golden Core level.

Simply put, after a Lower Three Grades Golden Core uses this Heaven-Cutting Vine, they may only barely enhance to Middle Three Grades, or even only enhance one grade.

However, Middle Third Grade Core Formation Cultivators may use this, if they have ample accumulation, to possibly further advance, catching a glimpse of the path to Upper Third Grade Golden Core.

None of this is certain.

...

According to the information left by Divine Thought Patriarch, it can be seen that this King of Independent Cultivators is highly ambitious, achieving greatly, his ultimate Core Formation, what he condensed is considered at the Upper Third Grade Golden Core level.

Unfortunately, for some reasons, he could barely condense a Seventh Grade Golden Core, seeing it as a regretful event.

And that Celestial Demon Relic was also obtained from the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Initially, Divine Thought Patriarch was just a Foundation Establishment, taking the opportunity to join a Foundation Establishment Clan, thus gaining the chance to enter the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven Blessed Land, ultimately by incredible luck, gifted talent and discerning eye, obtained the dust-covered Celestial Demon Relic.

And at the time of obtaining the Celestial Demon Relic, he also learned of the clues to Heaven-Cutting Vine, but for some other reasons, in the end, could only reluctantly abandon it, missing the rare opportunity.

After that, Divine Thought Patriarch reinvented himself, soared sky-high, no one knew, the prestigious King of Independent Cultivators was once just a clan’s son-in-law.

Sadly, later this Divine Thought Patriarch never again had the chance to enter the Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven.

However, Divine Thought Patriarch drew precise maps and left clues to the Heaven-Cutting Vine.

Even though he never obtained the Heaven-Cutting Vine, by relying on the seized Celestial Demon Relic, he greatly enhanced his strength, gained immense augmentation to his origin, soared to reach Golden Core Zhenren status in a hundred years.

This involves the second kind of Golden Core grade Dao.

Which is enhancing Golden Core quality through external objects.

Some powerful origin objects, innate origin enhancements can elevate the Cultivator’s rank, even condensing into Great Divine Dao Seed.

Such Great Divine Technique Dao Seed is not within the Ninth Grade range, once condensed, can rival collections of multiple minor Divine Technique Dao Seeds, immensely high ranked, often able to condense into an Upper Third Grade Golden Core.

No doubt, Celestial Demon Relic is within this category.

Sadly, Divine Thought Patriarch originally had a bright future, but later clashed with the Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect, ultimately defeated, dying in this space.

...

After studying multiple Daoist Canons, and the information and clues left by Divine Thought Patriarch, Zheng Yi greatly benefited.

For his future path, it can be said to be of crucial importance.

This one known as the ’King of Independent Cultivators’, who can almost run amok in the Three Desolate Mountain Range as an Upper Third Grade Golden Core Cultivator, ultimately could not escape fate, suppressed and fell.

In short, after the splendor, it’s all just fleeting clouds.

One must admit, the cultivation path, the future is unpredictable.

But in Zheng Yi’s view, this Divine Thought Patriarch was too flamboyant in character, too arrogant, unable to restrain himself.

Without a certainty, he actually challenged the might of Taiyin Profound Celestial Sect, this was the path to his fall.

The cultivation road, there’s always another mountain higher, another person stronger, another heaven beyond.

Zheng Yi always believed in his own strength, but he also understood more profoundly, the tiger doesn’t suppress the local snake.

Be strong when one should be strong, but hide when one should hide.

After all, like the powerful Golden Core Sect that ruled the Three Desolate Mountain Range for thousands of years, even once produced a Nascent Soul Stage True Monarch, its tremendously strong foundation cannot be countered by a True Man who just reached Upper Third Grade Golden Core level.

If it were Zheng Yi, he would surely hide his strength, accumulate himself within permissible limits, then plan gradually.

Wait until after accumulating strength, then make plans, at least able to gain time to develop.

Of course, fortunately, Divine Thought Patriarch has fallen, otherwise he wouldn’t have left these precious treasures for Zheng Yi.

Whether the Celestial Demon Relic or the Heaven-Cutting Vine, they are both very important to him.
