“The key to an eternal divine weapon lies in its origin, and in this respect, I am lacking. The Path of Bright Light has never been eternal,” Cao Ya thought to himself.
However, he has enough laws to refine various rare items collected from the Origin Land and the Ancient Domain, as well as the spoils of war after killing the Three Silkworm Emperors, which can also be selectively forged...
Finally, if a top-notch weapon refiner were to step in and possess superb skills, the quality of the Bright Light Divine Axe could be greatly enhanced, and in terms of power, it would have a very good chance of becoming comparable to an ordinary eternal divine weapon.
"If I have the chance, I must learn weapon crafting skills from Venerable Dan." Cao Ya pondered. Venerable Dan was the number one alchemist in the other universe and one of the top three weapon crafters. His expertise in these two areas was unfathomable.
At this moment, the Pill Venerable pointed to the lake and said, "The Chaos Spirit Liquid can nurture life and give rise to all things, while top-grade pills can be effective on Dao Lords of Life and Death, Eternal Emperors, and even Sovereigns. It is not only about mastering the alchemy techniques and the timing of the fire, but also about being careful with the consumption of these external materials."
Cao Ya and Ji Ning exchanged a glance, both speechless.
However, it was obvious that neither of them was skilled in alchemy; at most, they had some rudimentary understanding of it.
Of all the arts of cultivation, Cao Ya is relatively more familiar with weapon crafting!
His Bright Light Divine Axe was a weapon he had refined to the level of a Dao-grade divine weapon.
Of course, compared to Venerable Dan, he is still far inferior and cannot be compared at all.
Suddenly, Venerable Dan turned his head, and his usually cold eyes behind the mist seemed to become somewhat tense.
"Ji Ning, you have received the inheritance of the Sword Dao Master. Shouldn't one of his armor pieces have been passed on to you?" Venerable Dan said softly.
Ji Ning was taken aback, but he did not hide it, nor was there any need to. In front of a living ruler, who could stand against him except for a powerful being of the same level?
He didn't even glance at Daoist Mingguang beside him, who, despite his power to kill a top-tier emperor, still held him in awe!
Cao Ya understood that the Sword Dao Master who fell from the Origin Land and the Dan Venerable were Daoist partners!
The other two Eternal Emperors who followed the Sword Dao Ruler were also the second and third elder brothers of the Pill Venerable.
But they all died, leaving only Venerable Dan alive. Later, her enemies also perished unexpectedly, leaving her without a target for revenge. Venerable Dan's obsession was to continuously improve her cultivation, become stronger, and possess abundant wealth so that she could persuade the Supreme Being to resurrect her three relatives!
Ji Ning ventured into the Inner Realm and passed the test set by the Sword Dao Master before his death, becoming his disciple! He also obtained many treasures left behind by the Sword Dao Master, a truly bountiful harvest!
That armor was effective in battles at the Dominator level, which speaks volumes about its quality!
As expected, after receiving the Sovereign's armor, Venerable Dan's eyes welled up with tears, and he was on the verge of weeping.
Both of them could sense that sorrowful emotion. Cao Ya knew the inside story but didn't talk about it. Even Ji Ning, who knew nothing, had some guesses in his heart and understood why Venerable Dan had gone to the Origin Land to take him away.
“I will take this armor with me for half a month. During this time, you may make a request to me. There is no need to rush. Think it over slowly and tell me when you have made up your mind,” Venerable Dan said softly.
Ji Ning was taken aback, then overjoyed.
Through the previous conversation between Venerable Dan and Daoist Mingguang, he already knew that the woman in front of him was one of the three strongest ancient star lords in the other universe, and was a great supernatural being like the ruler of Mangya Kingdom!
If the Lord's promise were to spread, countless experts would go crazy for it!
Venerable Dan stroked his armor, his expression sentimental. Suddenly remembering something, he slowly spoke: "Since you have all reached the Three-Leaf Realm, I will not be stingy with my gifts."
Immediately afterwards, the Dan Venerable bestowed upon her the secret art of alchemy—"The Seven Chapters of Danye"!
This was the creation of the Dan Venerable, her proudest technique. Her alchemy skills were unparalleled in the other universe, a source of even greater pride than achieving the status of a ruler!
Of course, in terms of achieving her goal, being in control is more helpful.
After all, at the Dominator level, there are very few pills and weapons that are still useful, and they are also very difficult to refine.
It would be better to rely on the strength of the Overlord to venture out and explore the chaotic universe, and see if you can get some rare treasures of heaven and earth, or get lucky and obtain prehistoric war weapons from ancient ruins. These are the most valuable things, and even the Overlord would be envious!
Although the Supreme Being didn't care, the conditions he set for reversing time and resurrecting the dead were basically the sum of thousands upon thousands of such treasures and rare items!
Dan Zun Zhe thought to himself that he could not accumulate such wealth in a million or ten million Chaos Eras, but with continuous efforts, he would eventually achieve it in a hundred million or two hundred million Chaos Eras!
At that time, the three emperors who died in the land of origin will be reborn and reappear in the other universe!
"Thank you for bestowing the Dharma upon Venerable Dan." Cao Ya bowed respectfully. To be honest, he himself had never expected to receive the Seven Chapters of Danye.
After all, he wasn't Ji Ning, and he hadn't become the disciple of the Sword Dao Master, so they lacked a certain connection.
Of course, Venerable Dan and the Black Emperor were also old friends from countless Chaos Eras. Out of respect for the Black Emperor, they wouldn't just dismiss him with a little knowledge.
Furthermore, Cao Ya's performance surprised even Venerable Dan. He was not yet on the verge of becoming a Daoist, yet he had already reached the level of the most monstrous Daoist Lord. If he were to become eternal... if he really succeeded, Venerable Dan pondered. Could Daoist Lord Cao Ya, the Bright Light Lord, surpass ordinary rulers and be comparable to super rulers?
However, Venerable Dan was also well aware that such a great path was extremely difficult to maintain forever!
Ji Ning is only at the World Realm, and it is still uncertain what kind of Great Dao he will open up when he steps into the ranks of the Dao Lord of Life and Death.
From Dan Zun Zhe's perspective, since Ji Ning is the disciple of the Sword Dao Master, he should be as strong as possible!
"Thank you, Venerable Dan." Ji Ning also bowed. He could tell from a cursory glance that the "Seven Chapters of Danye" was extremely valuable.
The most exquisite alchemy techniques he possesses so far are far inferior to "Seven Chapters of Pill Leaves"!
Ji Ning felt that as long as he put his heart into it, even if he wasn't a genius in alchemy, he could become a master alchemist with the help of "Seven Chapters of Pill Leaves".
This is the culmination of a sovereign's life's work!
"Within the Three Leaves Realm, there are five more Eternal Emperors, all of whom are my followers..."
At this point, Venerable Dan paused slightly, glanced at Cao Ya, and his eyes flickered.
Although the Three Leaves Realm is vast, it contains several Emperors, who are renowned throughout the entire alien universe and revered by all races!
But if she doesn't make a move, Daoist Mingguang Cao Ya alone is enough to break through the Three Leaf Realm!
The extraordinary Dao Lord is such an unbelievable existence that many emperors cannot defeat him!
"You can wander around; you might find something unexpected—even if you're not as strong as them, they still have a very high level of skill in alchemy and weapon crafting!"
After giving instructions, Venerable Dan had another follower, Daoist Yu Hong, lead the two away to arrange the cave dwelling and give a detailed introduction to the Three Leaves Realm.
She gently put on her armor, returned to her cave, closed the door, and then casually lay down on the ground, resting her head on the armor. As if she had returned to the past, she felt nostalgic and drifted off to sleep after a long time.
"With so many emperors following him, he truly deserves to be called the ruler!" Ji Ning exclaimed in amazement. Within the Mangya Kingdom, there were only a handful of Eternal Emperors!
As he spoke, Ji Ning was also looking forward to whether he could obtain any opportunities from the five emperors.
Of course, he wouldn't be disappointed even if he didn't gain anything. To become a disciple of the Sword Dao Master, to be bestowed with various treasures, and to receive the Seven Chapters of Pill Leaf from the Pill Venerable...
This scene far exceeded Ji Ning's expectations, and he was already very satisfied.
Cao Ya stroked his chin. Apart from the Three-Leaf Realm Emperor and the Pill Venerable, he had no fear in a contest of combat power!
His path is clear and he doesn't need any fundamental Taoist methods. As for the ultimate techniques that amplify power... since he's not a direct disciple, close friend, or relative, and there's no great favor owed to him, why would anyone teach him these techniques for no reason?
"However, that Emperor Abandoning Fire is the number one weapon refiner in the other universe, and his skill in this field even surpasses that of the Pill Venerable! If we can persuade him, perhaps my Bright Light Divine Axe will have a great chance of being upgraded to an Eternal Divine Weapon."
Cao Ya's target was Emperor Qi Huo, but he was not in a hurry. With the help of Daoist Yu Hong, he chose an unclaimed cave, parted ways with Ji Ning, and entered the cave to begin studying the "Seven Chapters of Dan Ye".
He only had a basic understanding of alchemy, unlike weapon crafting, where he possessed many skills and could forge divine weapons.
But having received the master's secret alchemy techniques, such a valuable inheritance, wouldn't it be foolish for Cao Ya not to cherish it?
"Seven Chapters of Danye" progresses from easy to difficult in a step-by-step manner. While the techniques in the first three chapters are merely impressive, the techniques in the last four chapters are so advanced that they inspire awe and admiration!
The alchemy techniques recorded in Chapter Seven are especially incredible, defying the laws of nature and beyond comprehension!
Cao Ya read through it, filled with admiration. He realized that if he had tried to figure it out himself, he would never have been able to develop such a great art of alchemy, even until his death!
"There are countless paths to the Great Dao, but they all lead to the same destination. Perhaps I can incorporate many techniques from the Seven Chapters of Crimson Leaves into my Bright Light Dao." Cao Ya thought to himself, reading intently and becoming fully absorbed.
After that, Cao Ya began to cultivate diligently, occasionally going out to drink and feast with Ji Ning and Daoist Yu Hong, chatting about everything under the sun, including the situation in the other universe, the Yanlong Domain, and Mangya Kingdom.
In fact, besides Ji Ning, one of his followers, the World God of Danbao, was also brought to the Three Leaves Realm because he stayed in Ji Ning's cave world and was taught the "Seven Chapters of Dan Leaves". His progress was no slower than Ji Ning's!
Don't underestimate the World Realm just because it's nothing in the Other Universe or the Flame Dragon Domain. This level has already surpassed the Chaos World and reached a limit of 108,000 Chaos Eras. It's incredibly powerful!
The creation of heaven and earth and the evolution of all living beings is not a big deal.
"Danbao is also a member of Mangya Kingdom. He is skilled in alchemy. After I consulted with Danzun, he also obtained the 'Seven Chapters of Danye' and his cultivation has progressed rapidly. Now his attainments are even more profound than mine," Ji Ning said with a smile.
Cao Ya and Daojun Yu Hong looked over and saw the young-looking Danbao World God with red lips and white teeth, who smiled shyly.
"Then congratulations, Danbao! If you make another breakthrough and catch the eye of the Pill Venerable, your great fortune will truly arrive!" Cao Ya said with a smile.
"I'm still far from good enough." World God Danbao waved his hand, not out of modesty, but because he truly believed it.
In fact, anyone who has read "Seven Chapters of Danye" will feel ashamed of their own inferiority.
"Gentlemen, you haven't explored the Three Leaves Realm yet, have you? Come on, let's go see other places." Yu Hong Daojun said, leading the three outside.
The Three-Leaf Realm was created by Venerable Dan in the Dark Sea of Bitterness of another universe. It is vast and can accommodate a great many living beings.
Although there are few outsiders, some powerful individuals have emerged from the naturally formed groups within the territory of Sanye, so overall, their numbers are not very small.
Everyone understood that it was virtually impossible to become a disciple of Venerable Dan!
However, the other five Eternal Emperors had lower requirements; some World Realm and Dao Lord level beings were qualified to become their disciples, which caused a great uproar and constant competition.
"A powerful Dao Lord is someone that even ordinary or top-tier Emperors might not be able to defeat!"
Yu Hongdao sighed, and he, Ji Ning, and Danbao World God all looked at Cao Ya in unison.
This person is currently the second strongest expert in the Three-Leaf Realm, surpassing even the five Eternal Emperors and second only to Venerable Dan!
"My strength is just passable, nothing special," Cao Ya sighed.
The three rolled their eyes and refused to speak.
You've killed even the most powerful emperors, and that's nothing... Could it be that only rulers are truly strong?
Cao Ya shook his head. In one alien universe, there are multiple rulers, and the number of holy city lords below them is generally in the double digits. In the chaotic universe, there are countless domains and alien universes, and the rulers can be eternal. As long as they are not attacked, they can exist forever. The accumulation of countless chaotic eras is so numerous that it is outrageous!
Even super rulers like the lords of other universes are numerous!
Whether it's the Flame Dragon Realm or the Destruction God Court, these are actually remote places in the Chaos Universe.
To traverse the chaotic universe, Cao Ya knew that his power was still far inferior.
"The minimum requirement is a six-star high-level ruler... If it's a six-star peak supreme being, that would be even better, truly standing at the pinnacle of countless cultivators!"
Cao Ya thought to himself that his current combat power had only touched the threshold of the middle level of the six-star level. Only when he could truly reach the edge of the Dao Integration stage would he be roughly a complete middle level of the six-star level, which is the level of a normal Holy City Lord.
Once he reaches eternity, he might be able to reach the sixth-star advanced level, but due to the nature of the Great Dao, it would be difficult for him to contend with ordinary rulers; at most, he would be a half-ruler.
The group first went to the territory of the Abandoned Fire Emperor, where there were many Dao Lords and World Realm experts coming and going, their faces showing both longing and disappointment.
Yu Hongdaojun laughed and said, "The Abandoned Fire Emperor is the number one weapon refiner in the other universe. Even the Eternal Emperors hope to obtain a magic weapon personally refined by the Abandoned Fire Emperor. For Dao Lords and World Realm cultivators, if they could acquire one, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds, and it would not be impossible for them to fight beyond their level!"
Ji Ning and Dan Bao nodded in agreement. Good weapons do indeed significantly improve one's strength.
A hint of anticipation also appeared in Cao Ya's eyes.
With the "Seven Chapters of Dan Ye," Cao Ya made rapid progress in alchemy, but what he really wanted was to improve his weapon crafting skills so that he could elevate the Bright Light Divine Axe to the next level and upgrade it to an eternal divine weapon!
Because Daoist Yu Hong cleared the way, no one dared to provoke him. In fact, after learning about Cao Ya, Emperor Qi Huo personally came out to greet him.
Upon seeing this scene, the Dao Lords and World Realm experts around them, including the attendants of the Abandoned Fire Emperor, were all stunned.
"Who is that person? What a daring person! To have the Abandoned Fire Emperor personally greet him?!"
