Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 239

Chapter 239: Dao Scripture

Wei Huo broke out of the illusion and obtained the Eye of Illusion Destruction. He saw the path to the ninth level and the layout of the ninth level.

Upon seeing Wei Huo walk out of the Immortal Pond, the golden armor could not help but praise him. “Just thinking about that kind of situation is terrifying. If you sink into it, you will never be able to get free.”

The golden armor did not dare enter the Immortal Pond. It was afraid that it would not be able to come out.

Wei Huo said, “I can see the way out. Follow me. If you want to break through in the future, come to Kunlun Mountain and walk your own path through the first level.”

The golden armor nodded silently. It indeed did not want to overcome this calamity yet.

Wei Huo took a step forward and the scenery around him changed. The sky and earth on the eighth level disappeared, and they arrived on a small mountain.

There was a small straw house on the small mountain, and there were a stone table and two stone chairs in front of the straw house. A pine tree stood on one side of the house. It was not strong, but it covered the stone table and chairs, allowing people to cover themselves in front of the table.

Not far away, there was green grass with dewdrops on it. The surface of the dew was like a mirror reflecting the world.

The golden armor was confused. “Is this the ninth level? Why is there nothing here?” it asked.

It rushed into the straw house, but there was only one bed inside. There was nothing else.

Wei Huo, who had already understood everything, said, “This is the ninth level, the world outside Kunlun Mountain.”

The golden armor still did not understand and said, “I don’t understand. What about the Dao Scripture?”

Wei Huo said, “Man takes his law from the Earth; the Earth takes its law from Heaven; Heaven takes its law from the Dao. The law of the Dao is its being what it is. The Dao Scripture is right in front of you, but you haven’t realized it.”

The golden armor was confused. “Can you speak the human language? I really don’t understand anything. Have you read the Dao Scripture? Tell me how to refine Qi into God.”

Wei Huo said, “One day of purity, two days of quietness, and three days without any wild thoughts.”

Golden armor: “…”

The golden armor held back for a long time before saying, “Wei Huo, you’ve changed.”

How could a person’s temperament, way of speaking, and gaze change so much in just a few seconds?

Wei Huo walked under the pine tree and felt its strong aura. He then said, “A predecessor is comprehending the Dao in the pine tree. He might be the author of the Dao Scripture.”

Upon hearing Wei Huo’s words, the golden armor rushed over and sat under the pine tree. However, it could not feel anything after trying to sense something for a long time.

Wei Huo waved his hand and a shadow appeared. It was a man wearing an ancient Daoist robe. His hair was tied up, and his back was facing them. He had his hands behind his back as he looked into the distance. There was a special aura flowing around his body.

The golden armor blurted out, “It’s the Dao Lord!”

The golden armor was shocked. It then said, “Legend has it that the ninth level of Kunlun Mountain was built by the Dao Lord. The Kunlun Mountain is his Dao field. He once preached the Dao here. The coarse beasts of Kunlun Mountain turned into half-demons after hearing his words. However, this is a legend from tens of thousands of years ago!”

Wei Huo touched the stone table on one side and said, “One can only come here by following the path after one breaks through all illusions. If one forces oneself to go up one level at a time, one might reach the Kunlun Mountain Heavenly Palace. There might be a text version of the Dao Scripture there, but it’s not as good as this place. Comprehending the Dao in Matsushita for a year is definitely better than comprehending the Dao Scripture for 10 years!”

The golden armor was confused. It asked, “Really? I’ll be sitting under this pine tree from this day onward. I will not get up unless I die.”

Wei Huo sat on the stone chair and sensed the aura of the stone tools. He then said, “This set of stone tools has existed for tens of thousands of years. The rules of time are flowing in it. If you study it carefully, you might be able to comprehend the Dao of Time. If you cultivate it to a high level, you might be able to obtain information from your future self and change the present. You might also be able to see the future through the river of time and change it.”

The golden armor was more interested now. “It’s that impressive?”

It could not sit still anymore. It rushed over and stroked the stone tools carefully. It then mumbled, “A treasure that can change the past and future after one comprehends it? Incredible. The Dao of Time is the most profound law. Legend has it that one can live forever after comprehending it.”

Wei Huo walked into the straw house. There was a stone bed inside. Wei Huo walked in and scanned it carefully. He suddenly realized that Yin and Yang Qi were flowing on the stone bed. He immediately understood. “This is a Chaos Stone. It can turn Yin and Yang Qi into Qi. Cultivating on the bed all year round can change one’s physique and forge a Dao Body.”

Wei Huo speculated that Chen Xuanyue should have such a system. Unfortunately, her race was cursed and her lifespan was short.

The golden armor looked at the Chaos Stone bed silently and said, “Why don’t we take this bed away and dig out Old Song as well?”

After the golden armor said that, the pine swayed as if it understood what the golden armor was saying.

Wei Huo glanced at Old Song and said, “I’m not the only one who came here after breaking through the illusions. They didn’t do anything, so I naturally won’t do anything. Besides, I have to take a path by myself.”

As soon as Wei Huo finished his sentence, the golden armor seemed to nod its head. Soon, a figure appeared under the pine tree. Unlike a Dao Lord, this person’s figure was not focused. His back was also facing everyone, and he was dressed in black. His clothes looked like the monotonous clothes that the people in the City of Law on the seventh level often wore. This was enough to show that he had only arrived there after breaking through the illusions. Besides, the aura of a space-time domain was flowing in his body. It seemed like the Dao he had comprehended was related to space and time.

The figure disappeared, and another person appeared. Everyone present was very familiar with this person, as he was Wei Huo’s shadow. His back was facing them, and his body was surging with the aura of nirvanic extermination.

The golden armor said, “You’re indeed not the only one who came here by breaking through illusions. However, you’re the second one.”

Wei Huo was not the second person who had come here to express his curiosity, as the path they had taken was different. That was the good intention of the Kunlun nine-story Small World built by the Dao Lord. He did not want the younger generation to walk the same path as him. He wanted everyone to walk their own path and obtain their own Dao Fruit. That was why he had spent so much effort to build the nine-story Small World.

The last level was especially profound.

Wei Huo looked into the distance. He could actually see Kunlun Mountain’s main peak from there. He could see the unique staircase-shaped mountain top. If he really had gone up one level at a time, he might have arrived there and obtained the paper version of the Dao Scripture.

In the end, Wei Huo retracted his gaze and walked into the straw house. He then said, “I want to cultivate in seclusion here for a while and break through the middle stage of the Legendary stage.”

Wei Huo had already obtained the Qi Cultivation Skill. He could begin his seclusive cultivation now.

The golden armor, who was still hung up on the Dao Scripture, asked, “Can’t you explain the method of refining Qi into God? The Dao Lord has already written a book.”

Wei Huo said, “Go and gain enlightenment. You will understand.”

He then took out the Ruyi Pagoda. His Ruyi Pagoda had been upgraded after refining an Epic-ranked demon beast. It could now be stored in a Legendary-ranked creature that could not resist. He threw the pagoda out and turned it into a sharp pagoda that sat on the back of the small mountain. Then, he told Xiao Qian, “Go into seclusion in the pagoda. Refine that branding mark and you will become a real person.”

Wei Huo’s experience in the Illusion Realm had broadened his horizons. He had once cultivated to the peak of the Legendary stage in the wild and experienced countless battles. He had seen and learned all sorts of cultivation techniques. He could now be considered a grandmaster.

After explaining everything, Wei Huo returned to the Chaos Stone bed. He cleared his mind and entered a state that made him forget everything else. The Qi Cultivation Skill Laws of Refining Qi Into God started operating automatically. The Qi of Heaven and Earth, the Spirit Qi hidden in Kunlun Mountain, and the Dragon Qi underground were all absorbed by him and turned into mental power.

Wei Huo had comprehended the essence of Qi Cultivation. Naturally, he could refine all the Qi in the world.

The sun rose and set, and flowers bloomed and withered. Time passed like a white steed. In the blink of an eye, 81 years had passed.
