Chapter 10 Proving the Dao Through Laws
After settling the two children, Xuanhan and Xuanshuang, and instructing them to guard the cave and take good care of their spiritual roots, Kunpeng's figure flickered and transformed into a barely perceptible stream of light, disappearing into the void once more.
Although Beiming is already his public training ground, it will be the gateway for him to display his great power in the future.
However, that Netherworld Blood Sea was his true foundation, the secret place where he secluded himself to cultivate and hide his trump cards.
Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone the cautious and deliberate Kunpeng.
Returning silently to the Blood Sea, the Blood God's clone who had remained there immediately transformed into a streak of blood light and merged into his main body.
This place is filled with the most malevolent energy and karmic burdens, making it a place that others would avoid at all costs.
For him, however, it was the most tranquil place to find enlightenment.
He sat cross-legged, and the twelve-petaled karmic fire lotus appeared on its own, the raging karmic fire completely isolating him from the filth of the outside world.
Then, with a solemn expression, he took out the two biggest finds of the trip from his sleeve.
A golden, gleaming ancient bell, and a pristine white lotus platform.
It was the Jingyang Bell, the companion treasure of the Eastern King Duke, and the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus obtained from the Dragon Clan's treasure trove!
"These two treasures are among the top-ranked innate spiritual treasures, and their power is no less than that of the three supreme treasures in my possession."
Kunpeng's eyes burned with determination. "If I can refine it, my defenses and methods will reach a new level."
Without another word, Kunpeng closed his eyes, and a vast divine consciousness surged from his Niwan Palace, carrying the magic power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and began to gradually wash away the rock-solid innate restrictions inside the two treasures.
Cultivation knows no time, and the primordial chaos does not keep track of years.
The sea of blood was deathly silent, with only the endless waves of blood rolling eternally.
In the deepest part of that sea of blood, a figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by a radiant light. His aura grew ever more profound and vast with the passage of time.
In the blink of an eye, countless millennia have quietly passed.
On this day, Kunpeng, who was sitting cross-legged on the crimson lotus of karmic fire, finally slowly opened his eyes.
"Buzz—"
As his eyes opened and closed, two beams of divine light, one golden and one white, shot into the sky.
A golden bell and a white lotus slowly rotated around his body, radiating a harmonious and unified Daoist aura, without the slightest hint of stagnation.
"After countless millennia, I finally refined these two treasures into twenty-four restrictions, achieving a level of control comparable to that of the Yuan Tu, Abi, and the Karmic Fire Red Lotus."
Although it's still a long way from completely refining all the restrictions, this is enough for him to unleash some of the power of these treasures.
With a thought, the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus slowly drifted down, overlapping with the twelve-petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus beneath his seat.
In an instant, a wondrous change occurred.
The Red Lotus's primary power is killing and burning away sins; it is extremely violent.
White lotus is primarily for purification and healing, cleansing the soul and leaving it as gentle and refined as jade.
The red and white, the orthodox and the unorthodox, formed a perfect balance within the Kunpeng's body, flowing slowly like the yin and yang of Tai Chi.
"call--"
Kunpeng exhaled a long breath of turbid air, feeling relaxed all over and his mind clearer than ever before.
He has been cultivating the Great Dao of Devouring, forcibly devouring the origin of the Styx River, and even devouring the essence and blood of the Eastern King Duke.
Although this path leads to rapid progress and is extremely powerful, it also has a fatal flaw—it is extremely easy to become tainted by karmic consequences.
The more you kill and devour, the deeper the karmic burdens that bind you.
If this continues, at best, one's cultivation will stagnate and one's Dao heart will be clouded. At worst, it will attract the backlash of the Heavenly Dao and turn one into ashes.
Although he had the Karmic Fire Red Lotus protecting him, it was itself an object with extremely heavy malevolent energy. After using it for a long time, his temperament would inevitably be affected, and he would become bloodthirsty.
But now, with these twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus, everything is different!
This lotus possesses the power to purify all things. In the unseen realm, it can cleanse the karmic burdens on his body, protecting his primordial spirit from external demonic invasion.
The fiery red lotus governs external forces, burning away invading enemies.
The Pure White Lotus, a guardian of the world, purifies one's own karmic obstacles.
The two complement each other, and it can be said that they completely resolved the biggest hidden danger on his path of cultivation!
From this perspective, the Pure World White Lotus was even more effective for him than the Jingyang Bell, which combined offense and defense!
In addition, during his tens of thousands of years of seclusion, he also thoroughly refined and absorbed the essence of the severed arm he had obtained from the Eastern King Duke.
"The Pure Yang Dao is extremely strong and yang, and it does have some intricacies."
A surge of pure and powerful innate Yang energy erupted within his body.
This power is completely opposite to Kunpeng's original cold and sinister Northern Darkness attribute. If it were an ordinary person, they would have already exploded and died.
However, the Kunpeng embodies the transformations of feng shui and yin and yang, possesses the power to devour the Great Dao and suppress it, and is protected by two lotuses.
"Yin and Yang in harmony, all things are born. Merge!"
With a low shout, Kunpeng forcefully integrated this pure Yang Dao law into his own Dao foundation.
As this last wisp of origin was completely digested, Kunpeng felt a sudden boom in his body's magical power, as if it had broken through an invisible barrier.
His aura surged, and the Great Luo Dao Fruit above his head shone with unprecedented brilliance.
Above, auspicious clouds rolled, and three enormous lotus flowers slowly bloomed, with the five elements converging and soaring straight to the heavens.
A terrifying pressure, several times stronger than before, swept out from Kunpeng, causing the entire Netherworld Blood Sea to tremble.
Mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
When the water flows naturally, the channel is formed; when the melon is ripe, it falls from the vine.
It has been several centuries since he took human form and was born.
During this period, he encountered many extraordinary events, including swallowing the Styx River and seizing the Eastern King Duke. With so many opportunities, he was able to break through from the early stage of the Great Luo realm to the middle stage.
This speed of breakthrough is actually not considered fast among the top innate saints in the primordial world.
The fundamental reason is that the path he took was too difficult!
Ordinary innate saints mostly specialize in only one or two major laws, so that they can make great progress and attain enlightenment as soon as possible.
Kunpeng, however, cultivated six different techniques simultaneously!
Wind, water, blood, devouring, killing, and even the nascent pure yang!
Moreover, he did not merely dabble in these six great paths, but rather aimed to transform them all into his own fundamental great paths and integrate them into his being.
The difficulty involved is far more complex than simply one plus one equals two; it increases exponentially.
Each breakthrough requires advancing all six laws simultaneously, consuming tens or even hundreds of times more resources and effort than others!
However, the rewards gained from such arduous practice are unimaginable.
That is terrifying combat power far exceeding that of others of the same level!
Although Kunpeng is only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he is confident that he can fight against ordinary late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortals or even peak experts, and may even be able to kill them!
"If I could continue cultivating like this, eventually attaining the Dao fruit of a Primordial Golden Immortal, or even a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal..."
Kunpeng's eyes gleamed with an unprecedented ambition.
"The path I'm taking is the same supreme path as the three thousand Chaos Demons of the past, proving the Dao through force and laws!"
Cultivating the top-tier laws of six different schools together, once they attain enlightenment, their combat power is unimaginable!
At that time, how could those Xuanmen saints who only rely on severing the three corpses and accumulating merit to help others grow be comparable?
"The road is long and arduous, but if you keep walking, you will reach your destination!"
Kunpeng slowly rose, feeling the vast magical power within his body, which was several times stronger than before, and his heart was filled with boundless pride.
