At the foot of the Enlightenment Cliff.

The three strongest beings in the True Martial Spirit Realm now use the void as their canvas and their internal magical power as their brushes to continuously refine the cultivation techniques of the Mountain Ancestor.

With Ning Qi as the main figure and the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor as his assistants, the three of them devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the task.

The branches of the tree in the Enlightenment Realm swayed, and a beam of blue light fell down, stimulating the wisdom of the three to its fullest extent.

As the three continued to comprehend and refine their techniques, the Enlightenment Tree underwent its first change, seemingly receiving feedback from the three's spiritual light.

Perhaps it was the power of the three, or perhaps it was the three perfecting their immortal cultivation techniques, that made the World Tree so sensitive to immortal cultivation techniques.

You can see that the leaves on its drooping branches have also changed at this moment, resonating with the method created by the three.

Its leaves are constantly changing, transforming into the leaves of all plants and trees in the world, and are not fixed.

At this moment, the leaves on the branches also sprouted divine runes, as if they were engraving and recording the wisdom of the three people...

If someone could take a leaf and give it to a cultivator who is just beginning their cultivation, they could probably use that leaf as a foundation to cultivate all the way to the Dao Integration Realm.

A single leaf can be comparable to a complete Dao-harmonizing profound skill!

However, the three of them were so focused on the cultivation technique in front of them that they did not notice the changes in the leaves of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, and even Ning Qi did not perceive them.

They continued to dedicate themselves to the Dao, and it can be said that their communication penetrated into their respective souls and even touched upon their respective Dao principles.

In their past, all three were sect leaders or patriarchs, and they often attained enlightenment alone, rarely communicating with others with their minds completely open.

But now, especially for the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, this is the first time they have experienced this kind of practice of studying the Dao with cultivators of the same realm.

For a moment, they even forgot their own existence, reaching a state of selflessness.

The void gives rise to divine script, time and space stand still, and the Great Dao resonates...

After an unknown amount of time, a brand new immortal cultivation technique appeared in the void.

Whether it was Ning Qi, or the Holy Ancestor Hai Zu, the three of them stood outside, their eyes shining brightly as they gazed at the divine runes in the void.

To their astonishment, they discovered that not a single word could be added or removed from this immortal cultivation manual.

They had reached the pinnacle of their understanding based on other immortal techniques, and could no longer delve deeper into it. It was the most perfect state that the three of them could achieve at present.

"In my original plan, I would first use a natal divine script as a foundation, and then continuously expand upon it, which led to the later Hundred-Character Stele and Thousand-Character Script. This journey has been extremely difficult..."

The Holy Ancestor murmured.

"Now that I have seen this cultivation technique that you two helped me perfect, I realize that I was just a frog in a well with a limited view of the sky before..."

Human strength has its limits. No matter how powerful a person is, they will always have their own choices, interests, and preferences, and may overlook other things.

And these things are often made up for in others...

For example, the divine text before us is a work in which the Sea Ancestor helped the Holy Ancestor perfect the divine text related to the Water Moon's ultimate gentleness.

Ning Qi, on the other hand, used the rudimentary form of the Great Dao rune array and the Yin-Yang Dao diagram he currently possessed to modify the divine runes, making them more in line with the Great Dao...

Overall, Ning Qi's transformation was beyond his current level, and it can be said that Ning Qi played the most important role in it.

"This method can no longer be improved for the time being. How do you think it compares to the previous Taoist methods?"

Ning Qi seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder; he asked the Holy Ancestor.

As the Holy Ancestor stroked his beard, the smile on his old face stretched almost to his ears and never disappeared.

"Excellent!"

Haizu bit her lip and said, "Who was worried just now?"

The Holy Ancestor blushed.

"Hasn't this old man been slapped in the face?"

After saying that, he said happily, "Since you helped me improve this Divine Dao Integration Technique, I will change its name."

Ning Qi smiled and asked, "What name do you want to change it to?"

"How about calling it the Three Saints' Inscription on the Immortal Script?"

Ning Qi and Hai Zu smiled upon hearing this.

"While we don't mind being called saints, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

The Holy Ancestor shook his head and said, "No, with this method alone, I believe that the three of us will one day become saints!"

"You're quite optimistic."

The Holy Ancestor gazed at the divine runes in the void, then rubbed his hands together excitedly and said:

"Why don't I try practicing this technique first and see just how amazing it really is?"

However, Hai Zu reached out her delicate hand and intercepted the Holy Ancestor.

Both Ning Qi and the Holy Ancestor were taken aback.

Hai Zu smoothed his hair and said, "I just finished perfecting this immortal technique. I don't believe your inspiration hasn't been stimulated. Why don't you two help me perfect my technique again before the inspiration fades?"

The Holy Ancestor did indeed feel his inspiration gushing forth like a spring, but he still said, "Don't you already have that Taiyin Flying Heaven Immortal Scripture? Do you still want to improve it?"

Hai Zu's icy eyes gleamed.

"Haven't you noticed that after this joint creation of the cultivation technique, our perception of the Great Dao has become much more acute? I feel that what we've gained today is more than I've gained in my entire life. Why not strike while the iron is hot?"

Ning Qi also said, "We have all benefited greatly from this exchange, so why don't we just go all the way?"

Although he initiated the improvement of the cultivation method and played a huge role in it, Ning Qi did not feel that he was making a one-sided contribution.

Not to mention the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor, Ning Qi had already regarded them as his own people.

Having just perfected his immortal cultivation techniques, Ning Qi had already gained some new inspiration for his own realm lord cultivation system.

If he could perfect another cultivation technique, he would surely be able to obtain even more nourishment.

"I will endure the pain of not being able to immediately experience the Three Saints' Inscription of Immortal Scriptures..."

The Holy Ancestor made a pained expression, which immediately amused the two of them.

So the three of them then engaged in another battle, using the void as a platform and their own Dao to clash, in order to perfect their cultivation techniques.

After an unknown amount of time, the three gazed at the void ahead, which appeared hazy and shifting like the moon reflected in water.

Unlike the Holy Ancestor's cultivation method, the Sea Ancestor's cultivation method leans towards extreme yin and gentleness, and he also follows the path of extreme yin and gentleness.

This happened to be similar to a part of Ning Qi's Yin-Yang Dao Diagram, so Ning Qi naturally spent a lot of effort to help Hai Zu improve it.

The entire technique was merely inscribed in the void, yet it seemed as if a vast, yin, and gentle net was spreading out, making one both intoxicated by it and unable to escape.

Besides sensing the obvious yin and softness, the three also sensed some other great principles within it.

The highest virtue is like water, the mother of all things, and the gentle can overcome the strong, etc...

The Holy Ancestor pondered, "Why do I feel that this cultivation technique is stronger than mine?"

Hai Zu chuckled and said, "That's a misconception. Although our paths are different, we have done our best to perfect our techniques."

Perhaps feeling that this was to comfort the Holy Ancestor, Hai Zu added:

"After all, this cultivation technique corresponds to the Yin-Yang Dao Diagram of the Realm Lord, and it also has the Taiyin Flying Heaven Immortal Scripture as its foundation. There aren't many similar immortal scriptures that your Three Saints Inscription Dao Immortal Scripture can refer to, but as long as you continue to improve it, I believe you will reach a certain level sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor seemed to feel a little better.

"Are you planning to rename this cultivation technique?" the Holy Ancestor asked curiously.

Hai Zu narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across the two faces.

"Naturally, let's call it the Water Moon Immortal Inquiry Classic."

The three of them laughed again.

The Holy Ancestor continued, "Now that all the cultivation techniques are perfected, I will go and try out the new ones."

Hai Zu nodded, his eyes conveying the same meaning.

After perfecting two immortal cultivation techniques, the two finally felt that their inspiration was starting to wane.

It's not that the Enlightenment Tree can't provide them with more inspiration, but rather that people always have limits, and things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes; too much inspiration is not a good thing either.

The two of them immediately cupped their hands and bowed slightly to Ning Qi, saying, "Lord Realm, we are once again deeply grateful for your kindness!"

Ning Qi gently brushed the two of them aside.

"We are friends, and we are here to jointly explore the path to immortality. How can we be so formal?"

Compared to what the other two gained, Ning Qi felt that he gained more.

He already had a clear idea for further developing the subsequent cultivation system for realm masters.

"Since the Realm Lord says so, then we will not stand on ceremony any longer."

Both of them, filled with joy, found a spot in the Enlightenment Square, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate new techniques.

"Remember to test the sect's level again later. I want to know if the changed cultivation technique can cause changes in the sect?"

Ning Qi's voice reached their hearts.

"Don't worry, we're interested in that too."

Ning Qi stood in the square, and suddenly raised his hand to look at the sky.

The branches of the tree in the Enlightenment Realm seemed to have completed their mission and were about to disappear from this place.

However, Ning Qi, with his sharp eyes, finally noticed the difference on the boundary tree.

"Huh, what's this...?"

He suddenly waved his hand, and the branches of the Jie tree, as if trying to curry favor, drooped directly in front of him.

The leaves rustled and moved as if they were cheering and jumping for joy.

Ning Qi brushed his hand across the branches, finally stopping on two thinner branches.

These tiny branches have only a few leaves on them.

Ning Qi looked down at the two thin branches, whose leaves were noticeably different from the other leaves on the boundary tree.

On the leaves of one small branch, divine runes flowed; on another small branch, the leaves were like water and the moon...

Especially the leaf at the very tip of the two branches, which stands out prominently, as if it has completely transformed into a leaf of the Great Dao!

How could the boundary tree have undergone such a transformation?

Ning Qi gazed at the changing leaves, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The Boundary Tree can help people attain enlightenment. I had only focused on this point in the past, but I never thought that people could also affect the Boundary Tree..."

"However, it seems to only react to immortal cultivation techniques, that is, techniques involving the Great Dao?"

Ning Qi was not quite sure if that was the case.

However, as Ning Qi stroked the leaves that had changed, he vaguely felt that the leaves were nurturing something.

"It should be considered a good thing. I haven't seen any impact on me yet. I'll focus on perfecting my own Realm Lord cultivation system first."

Ning Qi released the branches of the boundary tree, and the boundary tree instantly disappeared into the void.

He left a clone here, while his main body returned to the inner world.

It would take some time for the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor to fully adapt to and perfect the immortal cultivation techniques. Ning Qi felt that with what he had gained so far, he could continue to deduce the cultivation system of the Realm Lord.

In the inner world.

Ning Qi closed his eyes, sat cross-legged in the void, neither sad nor happy.

He did not immediately immerse himself in the deduction of the realm master system, but instead adjusted his mind and body, trying to empty his mind of everything.

Spirit, thoughts, distractions, emotions...

All of this has vanished into nothingness.

After a while, Ning Qi opened his eyes again.

"The Realm Lord cultivation system has two realms since I created it."

"First Realm, Realm Lord Realm."

"The main purpose of a Realm Lord is to merge with the smaller world and become the master of that realm."

"Compared to traditional cultivation realms, the Realm Lord realm spans two realms: the Primordial Spirit realm and the Void Dao realm. However, the Realm Lord realm is stronger. Once one enters the Realm Lord realm, it is equivalent to being invincible in the Primordial Spirit realm, and when the Realm Lord realm is perfected, it is equivalent to being invincible in the Void Dao realm."

Ning Qi murmured to himself, reviewing each realm of the Realm Lord cultivation system he had created.

"The second realm of the Realm Lord's cultivation system is the Rule Realm."

"The Rule Realm corresponds to the Integration and Dao Integration Realms in ordinary cultivation."

"When one first touches upon the origin of rules in the Rule Realm, the birth of a single rule origin signifies entering the Rule Realm, corresponding to invincibility in the Integration Realm; when one can contain a hundred rules, a rule cycle can be formed, signifying the Great Completion of the Rule Realm, invincibility in the Integration Realm; and if one can contain even more, one can contend with cultivators who are close to immortality."

Ning Qi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he couldn't help but recall his battle with the Mountain Ancestor.

"However, even a Realm Lord at the Rule Realm cannot defeat an Immortal, because an Immortal has transcended the constraints of the world and transformed the power of the rules within their body into the most perfect Immortal power."

Ning Qi then recalled all the related information he had previously obtained, as well as the two improved immortal cultivation techniques.

"Let's call the third realm of the Realm Lord's cultivation system the Transcendent Realm, or the Great Dao Realm!"

"Rules are all that exist in the world, and are the origin of the world's birth, but the Great Way is not something that the world can possess."

"My prototype of the Great Dao Rune Array can also be regarded as a small world, except that it is a world composed entirely of rune arrays."

"If it were to completely transform into the fruit of the Great Dao, then the world would be utterly incapable of confronting it!"

Through traditional immortal cultivation techniques and this nascent form of the Great Dao, Ning Qi vaguely grasped the next step in the cultivation system of the Realm Lord.

He sat cross-legged in the void, and suddenly his whole being seemed to have changed from being confused to having a direction.

"The direction is clear, but to completely break through the rule realm and enter the transcendence realm is not something that can be done in a short time. My reference points are not enough."

"Furthermore, I need to transform the rules I possess into immortal power, but right now the immortal power within my body is intertwined with boundless evil energy, making it impossible to convert into the pure immortal power of the traditional kind..."

"It seems we still need to continue exploring. We must create a new path to immortality that can accommodate both immortal power and boundless evil energy, or rather, the energy of the Boundary Sea."

Based on everything that had happened, Ning Qi realized that the immortals seemed to be particularly averse to the energy of the Boundary Sea.

The even more powerful, boundless evil energy was like seeing the one who killed one's father.

Ning Qi was puzzled as to why this was the case.

But he possesses two powers, yet he can perfectly integrate them. He is destined not to follow the traditional path, but to forge a different one.

"The true path to immortality may not be black and white, just as the world is not only filled with light, but also with darkness. Choosing one leads to immortality, while choosing the other leads to demonhood..."

Are the two really completely opposite? I don't think so!

Even someone like the Mountain Ancestor, who was willing to sacrifice all living beings in both realms, could become an immortal. Ning Qi felt that the Mountain Ancestor was more like a demon. (End of Chapter)
