Cao Ya had a portion of the inheritance of the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying and the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning flowing through his heart. Although it was not the true meaning of the inheritance and was somewhat lacking, it was two divine skills that Meng Qi had comprehended based on the true meaning of the inheritance. It was mixed with his personal insights and was not entirely original, and was somewhat biased. However, Cao Ya still benefited a lot from reading it carefully.

All the divine skills and unique techniques in this world are passed down with true intention, avoiding distortion to the greatest extent possible. They are basically the kind of artistic conception envisioned by the original founder.

Such inheritances are rare, extremely scarce, and especially precious.

In most cases, martial artists practice their skills by reading classic texts, reflecting on their own understanding, or referring to the insights and experiences of others.

"The first move of the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying, [Slaying the Dao to Reveal Me], the third move, [The Dao Has No Ages], and the fifth move, [The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe]; the last six seals of the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning—[Heaven-Turning Seal], [Four Symbols Seal], [Yin-Yang Seal], [Void Seal], [Earth and Earth Seal], and [Primordial Heart Seal]; plus the third move of the Tathagata Palm that I have already learned—[A Smile While Picking a Flower]; and the General Principles of the Divine Palm..."

"Hey, I've even dabbled in the most top-tier techniques in the universe, the [Peerless Supreme]."

Cao Ya smiled gently.

If one masters this kind of seven-star universe technique, even if one cannot immediately achieve the seven-star level, achieving the six-star level is not a problem.

Cao Ya knew very well that Yuanshi Tianzun was the oldest among those on the other shore, Buddha was an incomplete Dao Fruit realm cultivator, and Daozun was a complete Dao Fruit realm cultivator!

These three beings can be said to stand at the very pinnacle of the [Supreme Being] universe!

The truth is revealed, and Buddha appears!

In the beginning, the heavens and earth were created, and the immense karma of all the heavens and myriad realms was borne upon him!

Of these three divine martial arts techniques, Cao Ya focused on cultivating the moves of "Slaying the Dao to Reveal Myself" and "The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe"!

Actually, he focused on cultivating the Seven Swords of Heaven!

Compared to Buddha's "Tathagata Palm" and Yuanshi Tianzun's "Nine Seals of Yuanshi", Daozun's "Seven Swords of Intercepting Heaven" is more to Cao Ya's liking.

While Cao Ya was undergoing arduous cultivation, Meng Qi had already left to meet his master and uncle, Xuan Bei.

Before leaving Cao Ya's meditation room, Meng Qi said he would definitely repay the great kindness again. Cao Ya felt that was enough and shook his head to refuse, but Meng Qi insisted. He said it twice, but Meng Qi did not change his mind, so Cao Ya did not say anything more.

In the years that followed, "Mad Blade" Su Meng reappeared in the martial world, his Dharma Body Realm making him invincible and causing quite a stir.

Cao Ya stayed at the Shaolin Temple gate, displaying the demeanor of a high-ranking monk, and devoted himself to rigorous self-cultivation.

The cultivation level of a celestial being is far too risky!

Cao Ya dreams of advancing to the Legendary Realm!

Sometimes, Kongwen Luohan would come over to discuss Buddhism, and sometimes Xuanbei would come over to talk to him. From them, Cao Ya also learned about what was happening in the martial arts world.

Compared to the two who were either amazed or worried, Cao Ya remained calm. No matter how much fame Meng Qi made, he didn't seem to find it strange, and didn't even raise an eyebrow.

Kongwen Luohan and Xuanbei were both surprised by this.

Cao Ya chuckled inwardly. If you knew the cause and effect behind Meng Qi, your eyes would probably pop out of your sockets.

Even if Meng Qichao becomes an Earth Immortal, a Celestial Immortal at noon, a Legend in the afternoon, a Creator at night, and the Other Shore at midnight...

Cao Ya felt that it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

Why is it that Meng Qi is both the "other self" of the Demon Buddha and the object of the Three Pure Ones' pursuit of emptiness?

Because of his entanglements with several other beings, Meng Qi's cultivation level hasn't improved rapidly. Wherever he goes, he doesn't cause a big stir, and he doesn't become the center of a storm... Hey, that would be strange!

However, Cao Ya certainly couldn't reveal such a secret to Kongwen Luohan and Xuanbei, so in the end, the two of them left Cao Ya's Zen temple with curiosity and confusion.

Cao Ya focused on comprehending many divine skills and unique techniques, such as the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying, the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning, and the Tathagata Palm. At the same time, he frequently activated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique to help the Reincarnation Seal erase the mark of the Demon Buddha.

Meanwhile, the level of the Reincarnation Seal's revival began to slowly increase.

Occasionally, some seemingly shocking news would circulate in the martial arts world, but it was not enough to attract his attention.

Even if a celestial being were to appear, it would be difficult to move him.

Now, he can kill ordinary celestial beings with one palm strike or at most three sword strikes!

In the list of real-world high-level Dharma masters—the "Heavenly Ranking"—his name still firmly occupies the top spot, unshakable.

However, the number on the "Heavenly List" has increased rapidly in recent years, almost more than double that of decades ago!

Now, among the Earth Immortals, there is another "Heavenly Divine Sword" Su Wuming, and among the Human Immortals, there is "Mad Blade" Su Mengjin.

Below the "Heavenly Ranking," the "Earthly Ranking," which includes top outdoor fighters, has also undergone significant changes. Currently, the top fighter on the "Earthly Ranking" is "Supreme Divine Sword" Jiang Zhiwei, and the second is "Demon Emperor" Qi Zhengyan. Both of them are about to attain the Dharma Body and catch up with their teammate Meng Qi.

Although Cao Ya knew that they were only superficially keeping up with Meng Qi's pace, as time went on, needless to say, they would definitely be left behind by Meng Qi.

But this does not mean that the two of them are weak.

In fact, the two of them are quite special.

Jiang Zhiwei, relying on the incomplete Haotian Mirror, has prematurely enlightened her "other self," possessing legendary characteristics and reaching the third realm of Dharma Body. This will definitely not be Jiang Zhiwei's limit!

As for Qi Zhengyan, he possesses the peerless divine weapon, the Demon Emperor's Claw, and has embarked on a unique path; his future is equally limitless.

In the original storyline, they each broke through to the Creation Realm at the end!

The Demon Emperor's Claw was an unparalleled weapon from the ancient past, created by the Demon Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds. The Haotian Mirror was the personal divine weapon of the ancient Haotian God. When the ancient era ended and the Haotian God fell, the Haotian Mirror was shattered, and its fragments were scattered throughout the myriad realms. Some still exist, while others have collapsed.

Since the Demon Buddha needs to conceal his identity, it's impossible for him to go back to find the Haotian Mirror.

Su Wuming was lucky enough to discover a clue to a core fragment of the Haotian Mirror. After some exploration, he obtained it and began his legendary journey in the Outer Realm. After attaining the Dharma Realm, he possessed some legendary characteristics! Ubiquitous!

After Su Wuming passed away, he no longer needed the Haotian Mirror, so he gave it to his disciple Jiang Zhiwei, hoping she would follow his example and embark on the path of legend ahead of time.

As it turns out, Jiang Zhiwei did not disappoint Su Wuming's expectations!

Jiang Zhiwei, backed by Xijian Pavilion and Su Wuming, belongs to the righteous path of the martial arts world, and is praised by everyone for her title of "Supreme Divine Sword".

Qi Zhengyan was driven to the demonic path by his ideals of equality for all and universal harmony, and was contemptuously called the "Demon Emperor" by various sects and families.

In fact, among the heretics and evil sects, there are countless criticisms and aversions towards Qi Zhengyan.

Qi Zhengyan's ideals and pursuits violated the greatest taboo between good and evil!

However, Cao Ya strongly agrees with Qi Zhengyan's philosophy!

He then supported Qi Zhengyan behind the scenes.

When various forces were besieging Qi Zhengyan, his Dharma body occasionally appeared, but Qi Zhengyan managed to escape without even a glimpse of him.

The righteous and evil Dharma bodies sensed something was amiss and believed that behind Qi Zhengyan, there must be a mysterious Dharma body expert.

Cao Ya is that mysterious Dharma body!

After a period of arduous training at Shaolin, Cao Ya secretly left the Central Plains with the Reincarnation Seal and went to the Southern Wilderness to meet Qi Zhengyan.
