"The 'Life' method can perfectly alter the fluctuations of the true spirit, and no matter how close the person is, they will not be able to see through it!"

"This is something that no amount of transformation or supernatural power can compare to. No matter how much one disguises their aura, they cannot change the pulse waves of a true spirit."

Cao Ya praised it, but also warned that if such a method were to spread, it would definitely cause a huge mess! Everyone would be in danger!

Putting everything else aside, from now on, I need to be more careful with my relatives and friends and not trust them too much.

Of course, the art of "Life" also has problems; it has obvious flaws and is not perfect.

The most obvious example is in the area of ​​cause and effect, where it cannot be faked.

However, those who can directly observe the entanglement of cause and effect are extremely rare. Generally speaking, even top-tier emperors and peak Dao Lords cannot do it. Even the Lord of a Holy City must have studied cause and effect or be a great supernatural being in the Dominator Realm!

Therefore, the scope of application of this technique is still very wide, especially for those below the emperor level, where it may have miraculous uses in many situations.

"Well, but to be honest, I could have done this without 'Life'."

Cao Ya stroked his chin. Within the system space, there were so many versions of himself, each with different circumstances and different extraordinary systems. Even though his true spirit was unique, the fluctuations of his various auras had already changed.

If he wanted, he could change himself into a different version of himself, even his appearance could be drastically altered, and without any flaws!

Even cause and effect are maintained and never broken.

"I didn't even use the 'Life' technique. Impersonating someone else? I'd be asking for trouble."

Cao Ya shook his head, but a sudden thought struck him.

If one cannot attain the Dao before the end of this life, but relies on other extraordinary systems to still live in the world and enjoy eternal life, one's life essence is comparable to that of an emperor.

At that time, in order to avoid being exposed, targeted by the Overlord and others, captured, suppressed, and studied, they will be able to conduct research.

Perhaps, with this technique and the support of numerous extraordinary magical powers, he could easily alter his aura without anyone noticing, allowing him to hide his identity and travel to other realms to attempt to merge with the Dao again.

"That's not going to work either!" Cao Ya pondered inwardly. In the vast and chaotic universe, failure to merge with the Dao means the collapse of the true spirit and gradual death. The stronger ones can last for a hundred or so Chaos Eras, while the weaker ones will perish completely after a few Chaos Eras.

Even the most extraordinary geniuses are only a thousand or ten thousand times the peak of the Chaos Era!

Unless, during this period, one can comprehend the true method of immortality!

But Cao Ya clearly lacked confidence that he could create a divine technique that would make the true spirit immortal in his lifetime!

The reason why the West Chaos Universe is so powerful is precisely because of this technique. Dao Lords on the verge of merging with the Dao can attempt to merge with the Dao again and again before their lifespan ends. If they fail once, they can try several more times!

They are all beings who have created their own path and reached the edge of merging with the Dao. Who among them has poor comprehension?

With so many opportunities and the ability to correct mistakes one after another, the probability of achieving Dao naturally increases significantly, which is equivalent to each Dao Lord having multiple Dongming Jade Talismans by their side!

One can only imagine the sheer magnitude of the Eternal Emperor of the Sith Chaos Universe!

Even the ultimate Dao Lord, the peak Dao Lord, and the second-level Dao Lord still have a considerable chance.

Otherwise, where did all those rulers, even ordinary supreme beings and ultimate emperors, come from?

In the future, Ji Ning will fail to achieve Dao and on the eve of his complete annihilation, he will have an epiphany by chance and create the True Spirit Immortal Law, which belongs to the primordial chaos universe!

Cao Ya thought to himself that his comprehension was still inferior to Ji Ning's.

Let's leave this important task to Ji Ning. He can offer some reminders at certain points regarding the difficulties of the Ultimate Dao Lord's Dao Integration.

There are five levels of difficulty: the ordinary path, the relatively strong path, the strongest path, multiple strongest paths, and the ultimate path. The difficulty increases exponentially as you progress!

The eternal process of the ultimate Dao Lord was extremely rare in the entire chaotic universe before.

No one has that experience, unlike the most advanced, second-level Dao Lords who have the lessons of predecessors and can make various preparations in advance. But Ji Ning, who is the master of the ultimate sword path, has no one to consult.

Perhaps the Supreme Being knows more secrets, but the leaders of several cultivator civilizations are elusive and difficult to meet, even for super rulers, let alone Dao Lords.

Cao Ya is different; although he is not the ultimate Dao Lord, his understanding is quite profound.

Even though his reminder might not necessarily prevent Ji Ning from failing to achieve Dao in the original story.

It might increase the probability by 10% or 20%, but it's still not a big problem.

This can be considered one of his contributions to this universe. Without the Ultimate Supreme, how could the invasion of the Sith Chaos Universe be repelled?

Even for ordinary Supreme Beings and Ultimate Emperors, who are at the peak of the six-star level, it's not enough.

Only a seven-star ultimate supreme being is acceptable!

Only a seven-star level expert is qualified to refine the chaotic universe and become its controller.

Only when a ruler emerges can any external covetousness be prevented and all living beings protected!

"I am indeed trillions of years older than Ji Ning, but in the face of the life-and-death Dao Lord's limit, it is insignificant."

"Perhaps, we can wait until the day when Ji Ning creates the True Spirit Immortal Law?"

"At that time, even if the path to enlightenment fails, there will be no worries."

"Well, don't doubt yourself too much. With two Dongming Jade Talismans in hand, and the Purple Thunder Cold Flame, I'm still about 70-80% confident."

Cao Ya thought to himself, "I must make up for the defects in my mind; I cannot doubt myself!"

Otherwise, even if one's laws are flawless when one is in harmony with the Dao, one may still perish due to self-doubt!

"Besides, I also have a thank-you gift from the otherworldly Emperor Fu Bo—a natal Dao talisman!"

“Even an emperor whose life essence is already eternal can be resurrected, let alone me, who is a Dao Lord.”

"This is yet another backup plan!"

Cao Ya's gaze calmed as he walked to the edge of the abyss. Seven-colored light shimmered on the cold chains that stretched across the sky, both dreamlike and dangerous.

According to the message on the stone pillar, the seven colors of the chains correspond to seven kinds of soul auras. They must be transformed using the "Life" method, with no difference between them, and each of the seven must correspond perfectly in order to pass through.

The slightest mistake could lead to being plunged into the abyss, resulting in death and the annihilation of one's soul.

"How ruthless! The Crimson Wave Palace was originally used by the Sith Clan to cultivate their own clan's peak Dao Lords."

Cao Ya studied the Dharma of "Life" and diligently comprehended it. His aura would change dramatically from time to time, sometimes exuding demonic energy, sometimes appearing ethereal and otherworldly, and sometimes melancholic and sorrowful.

Even if the people from Mingguang Palace came, they probably wouldn't dare to recognize Cao Ya if they saw him like this!

Fortunately, Cao Ya's mind was clear and his true self remained unchanged. He remained unmoved and steadfast, letting his breath flow freely.

Time flies, and several years have passed. Gradually, some peak Dao Lords have begun to break into the third layer of the world.

"It's Daoist Mingguang!" Ji Ning, along with Sect Leader Jiuchen and Daoist Laiya, saw Cao Ya sitting upright.

With the explanation from the spirit Pu Luo, they came to understand everything.

There were two other paths, and the two naturally separated. Ji Ning took the paths two, six, and seven, while the Nine Dust Sect Leader and Daoist Laiya took the paths three, five, and eight—they were not confident that they could compete with Ji Ning.

"Haha, Beiming, hold on tight! Once the Wine Saint and the others come in, we might end up with nothing!" said the Nine Dust Sect Master, his expression turning serious.

Ji Ning nodded, looked at passages one, four, and nine, took a deep breath, and finally stepped onto the paths two, six, and seven!

According to Pu Luo, the total value of the three channels is equivalent.

"And each Dao Lord can only go through one passage—of course, after exiting, they can kill and plunder!"

Ji Ning's expression was resolute. He wanted to revive his senior sister Yu Wei, and the safest way was to ask the Sovereign for help, which obviously required a huge amount of divine fruits!

Channels one, four, and nine are the best, but channels two, six, and seven are acceptable as they offer two types of second-tier divine fruits and have a greater number of them than the ninth command token.

The main reason was that Daoist Mingguang had taken it first, and Ji Ning was grateful, so he naturally wouldn't compete with him.

He joined forces with the Nine Dust Sect Master to pass through the first and second levels, and he also had another epiphany, improving his strength and defeating the Three-Colored Divine General.

Ji Ning gave the Cave Sea Jade Talisman to the Nine Dust Sect Leader—even though he contributed more!

Ji Ning mainly thought that, given his situation, the Ultimate Sword Dao and the Cave-Dark Jade Talisman would be of little help, and it would be better to give them to his close friend, the Nine Dust Sect Master.

In comparison, the relationship with Daoist Laiya was certainly not that close, and he contributed the least, not as much as the Nine Dust Sect Master.

Of course, the Nine Dust Cult Leader did not openly and brazenly claim it as his own.

The peak Dao Lord of this ancient cultivator clan was extremely grateful and took out many of his own precious treasures to give to Ji Ning and Dao Lord Laiya, not deliberately ignoring the contributions of his two allies.

After all, there was absolutely no hope of him seizing a Dongming Jade Talisman on his own!

"Senior sister, I will definitely revive you!" Ji Ning murmured to himself.

His greatest desire was not to achieve eternal union with the Dao, but to bring Yu Wei back to life!

This is Ji Ning's obsession!

One of the important reasons why people leave the Three Realms, experience risks, venture out into the world, and cultivate themselves diligently to become stronger!

Ji Ning is determined to obtain the divine fruit!

Before different passages, Ji Ning, the Nine Dust Sect Master, and Daoist Laiya simultaneously comprehended the secret techniques of the Sith Clan, immersing themselves in them.

Soon, more peak Dao Lords arrived, though their numbers were small and most of them were injured.

It is obvious that the competition for that last Dongming Jade Talisman is extremely fierce!

Judging from the unwillingness of Palace Master Li Xing, King Guangming, and others, as well as the satisfied look on Daoist Xiaomeng's face, it must be Daoist Xiaomeng who won.

Beside him, the Wine Saint was also quite frustrated. He had already acquired a share when he was at the ninth level of the Yi Bo Realm, but he was besieged. Even with the treasure of the universe in his hands, he dared not be too presumptuous. He wanted to wait for an opportunity to make a move, but Daoist Xiaomeng had quite a few allies, so he could only regretfully give up in the end.

Even the Wine Saint regretted not finding more allies.

The spirit Pu Luo reappeared, and after some explanation, the heroes understood and immediately made their choice.

Without a doubt, the passage between the Nine Dust Sect Leader and Daoist Laiya was the most targeted!

After all, who doesn't know the renown of Daoist Mingguang and Daoist Beiming?

In a one-on-one fight, no one can rival him except for the Wine Saint!

"Huh?" Suddenly, the eyes of the heroes shifted. They saw Cao Ya stand up, quickly fly across the seven-colored chains, his aura changing without any flaws, and walk directly to the rocky ground at the end, grabbing the first command token.

Immediately, the faces of the assembled heroes darkened. The nine tokens corresponded to nine kinds of divine fruits, enough to make any emperor envious!

If they obtain one of them, they can certainly trade for it, or exchange it for the enlightenment treasure they need!

Emperors generally do not collect rare items that lead to enlightenment, but since the Eternal Emperor is also cultivating, he naturally needs treasures for enlightenment.

Those who can catch the Emperor's eye are obviously extraordinary. They can always provide some help to peak Dao Lords, increasing their chances of merging with the Dao by 20% to 30%.

With the Dongming Jade Talisman gone, this was the only way to devise a plan.

"Let's go!" The heroes dispersed, choosing different paths, all earnestly studying the Dharma.

These Sith secret techniques are also mysterious and quite precious.

The main issue is that eight of the command tokens are unclaimed, so there's no need for a major fight or a life-or-death struggle!

Even the peak Dao Lords were still shaken by the fierce battles at the ninth level of the Yi Bo Realm and the second level of the Crimson Wave Palace.

Of course, no one chose Cao Ya's path; no one was confident they could outmaneuver him!

Even if they harbor some ambitions, they are not going to act now. The powerful are still hesitant to compete for supremacy on chains.

Wouldn't it be clearer to have a clear objective if all the command tokens were taken out before engaging in battle?

Each of the heroes has its own allies, and they were able to defeat even the Wine Saint. They don't believe that they can't defeat Daoist Mingguang!

"First token in hand." Cao Ya smiled slightly. The token, a mixture of black and gold, alternated between hot and cold.

Although the first and second command tokens are the least valuable, only one in 30,000 Chaos Eras.

But in any case, it is a rare and precious item that many emperors would covet.

Cao Ya looked around. He was already aware of the arrival of the heroes. Even when he was engrossed in comprehending the Dharma of Life, he always reserved a bit of his mental energy to guard against others.

"I raced against time and got ahead by so much time, but now I'm not in the lead anymore and they've caught up with me."

Cao Ya sighed. In terms of comprehension, he was indeed lacking compared to the other heroes.

Cao Ya focused his mind and went to the end of the rocky land where the first command token was located.

The same abyss, the same chains, only the colors are different; no longer seven-colored, but three-colored.

The stone pillar on the side records another method called "Dao Xin" (The Mind of the Dao).

“The Dao Heart is much more useful than Life,” Cao Ya muttered to himself, quite confident in this regard.

So many extraordinary systems have also built up the foundation of one's Dao heart. In particular, many universes, such as [The Supreme Being], [Perfect World], [Covering the Sky], [Immortal Gourd], and [Primordial World], also place great emphasis on the strength and clarity of one's mind.

"It's a pity that only the first three levels are available here. In the Sith race, one must become an Eternal Emperor to be qualified to learn the remaining four levels!"

Cao Ya shook his head. Having such an opportunity was already a stroke of luck. If he could fully comprehend the methods of "Life" and "Dao Heart," it would be of great benefit.

Moreover, there are still the first and fourth command tokens to be harvested, which are two rare divine fruits!

Cao Ya learned this method, uttering ancient syllables that were quite unique. It acted on the soul, accompanied by boundless suffering. Even with Cao Ya's well-rounded Dao heart, he found it somewhat unbearable!

However, Cao Ya maintained his true self and had a steadfast Daoist heart. Gradually, he adapted to this pain and successively mastered the first, second, and third levels of the Daoist Heart Dharma.

Finally, he stood up abruptly and stepped onto the three-colored chains.

"Hiss." Cao Ya's eyes twitched. Boundless pain surged from the chains. If he hadn't perfected the first three levels of the Dao Heart Method, he would have had a hard time blocking it at the beginning!

But now, though his movements are slow, they are methodical as he crosses the three-colored chains and heads towards the next level of rocky ground.

At the other two locations, the heroes' pupils suddenly contracted upon seeing them.

"So fast?!"
