Chen Jiuyang sat atop the spiritual脉泉眼, rapidly absorbing spiritual energy.
Simultaneously, he observed his golden core.
The Pure Yang Medical Immortal was in the tribulation period, but such cultivation still couldn't touch the origin Dao, remaining above Dharma Aspect divine abilities.
Only upon reaching immortal cultivation could one fully access the power of the origin Dao.
As it stood, the memory inheritance left by the Pure Yang Medical Immortal had become a double-edged sword. Chen Jiuyang even suspected that the cultivation methods within the memory had been tampered with.
After all, the "Eight-Nine Arcane Art" and "Instant Annihilation Martial Way" were terrifyingly powerful, capable of guiding a person onto the path of the Human Emperor's inheritance.
Chen Jiuyang had to completely abandon his previous understanding of 'Yuan Dao' and its divine abilities, retaining only the "Yansheng Blade" and modifying the "Yasheng Method" into a "Yan Dao Method." Yansheng had followed him for many years, and its name didn't need changing, as only he could communicate with it.
What remained was the 'Bing' Dao, which Chen Jiuyang had comprehended through his battles.
Bow, spear, saber, sword – he had achieved great mastery!
He was extremely clear about the Dao power in this regard.
The Bing Dao, when taken to its extreme, tempered the will and communicated with heaven and earth, borrowing the power of heaven and earth, which could be considered a form of appropriation.
Having abandoned the Pure Yang body, his Daoist name could no longer be Qianyang.
Even the character 'Qian' was no longer suitable.
His thoughts became clear.
"If I were to engrave the Bing Dao as my first origin Dao..."
"My Daoist name should then be, Jiuji!"
"This Daoist name also subtly aligns with my mindset of returning after a rebirth..."
"Hidden, not acting, but when I move, it is extreme. The Nine Daos subdue evil, precisely like this..."
Chen Jiuyang suddenly entered his self-created Myriad Manifestations Unity state, holding the Yansheng Blade. Threads of法则 suddenly appeared from the void.
The immortal path pursued法则, while the martial path pursued origins.
As法则 progressed, it transformed into origin Dao, and with the increase in cultivation, power became increasingly formidable.
Chen Jiuyang controlled these threads of法则, slowly carving them onto his golden core...
At the Golden Core stage, to touch upon法则 and have the Nascent Soul refine and absorb them was an absolutely extraordinary feat.
The moment the Nascent Soul broke through the Golden Core and refined it, it would be complete...
Chen Jiuyang would then be able to directly aim for the path of the Immortal Emperor...
After seven days and seven nights of carving the nine Daos of the Bing Dao onto his golden core, Chen Jiuyang's complexion turned pale: "Indeed, it is not so easy..."
To reserve space on the golden core for the engraving of the other eight Daos was no simple task.
For the Bing Dao, he had walked it step by step himself, and was extremely familiar with it, yet it still took seven days and seven nights. During this time, he had consumed countless spiritual pills and elixirs to prevent his physical body from collapsing and achieving immortal release.
"But the more difficult it is now... the longer the path ahead can be walked... rather than some people whose cultivation reaches a certain point and can no longer advance..."
"By engraving the Bing Dao法则 onto the golden core now, I can transform into a naturally born sword body, a naturally born saber body, to conceal it..."
"Given my birth conditions, who would have thought that I could extract法则 for engraving at the Golden Core stage? At most, they would think I possessed some special physique..."
"My combat power should have increased significantly. For now, I have only planted the seed of the Bing Dao法则; I still need to cultivate diligently and comprehend, allowing the Nascent Soul to fully absorb it..."
"However... when I refine and engrave other法则 later, I cannot reveal it in front of others..."
"If, after the revival of destiny, I encounter someone with higher cultivation, they will see through my abnormality at a glance, and the trouble will be immense then..."
"It seems I must seize the time and engrave eighty-one法則 onto my golden core before the Martial Ranking World Championship of destiny revival... My time is running out..."
Thus, Chen Jiuyang understood why immortal cultivators would often go into seclusion for decades, or even centuries, because although the immortal path could grant longevity, it was fragile.
Chen Jiuyang calculated with his fingers; it was almost time for the New Year. After stabilizing his aura, he would leave this spiritual脉泉眼 and return home for the New Year.
The family of four sat together for a reunion dinner. In Qingzhu Village, every household was setting off fireworks, making the night sky brilliant.
After tonight, in this Qingzhu Village, only his family, Chen Jiuyang's family, would remain.
"From tonight onwards... it will be an era of surging undercurrents..."
"But it has nothing to do with me; I want to keep a low profile and hide."
"The last year of the era of Dharma decline... all sorts of prodigies are emerging, hehe..."
After dinner, Zhang Xiuzhen and Chen Jianmin were pulled by their younger sister, Chen Yating, to set off fireworks.
Meanwhile, Chen Jiuyang took out his phone and sent messages one by one to Yao Zixuan, Lin Yuexian, Ji Lengyue, Qin Rouyu, and Yun Jingbai.
He had disappeared for another seven days and seven nights, and it was likely that his many confidantes were unhappy.
He was still in the pursuit stage; disappearing so frequently, which woman would be happy?
Yao Zixuan: "Oh."
Lin Yuexian: "It's alright, Mr. Chen. The Moon Palace will send my father over the day after tomorrow; I'll trouble you with it."
In this life, Lin Buwen had instructed Lin Yuexian to interact more with Chen Jiuyang, but Chen Jiuyang had disappeared for seven days straight, and even if she wanted to visit him, she couldn't find him.
Ji Lengyue: "You still know to send messages?"
Qin Rouyu: "I'm preparing to file for divorce; you need to come over these few days."
Yun Jingbai: "Nothing."
Chen Jiuyang gave a wry smile, feeling a headache. He had never seen any of his confidantes throw a tantrum.
In such a situation, if he had subordinates or trusted aides, having them serve his confidantes would be much more convenient.
"It seems that not only Fang Bo, but Deng Zun should also be brought under my command..."
He had to collect and refine all the remaining eight origin Dao法则 before the Martial Ranking World Championship ended. Time was truly tight, and he still had to visit the forbidden area.
"These past few days have passed; King Yan should have finished dealing with Yi Han, that girl..."
Tomorrow, he had to go to Fengcheng to first contact Yi Han and break the curse of her Heavenly Charm Body, to avoid future trouble.
"Granny Hui and the crippled old man should have been transferred..."
"Calculating the time, Fang Bo should have entered the Earth Realm. In this life, I must make him a Marquis, so that I can stand behind the scenes and, through him, contact other Marquises in Feng Province."
For the entire night, Chen Jiuyang was busy calling his confidantes one by one to appease them.
Currently, Chen Jiuyang had reached the Golden Core stage cultivation. He could stay up all night without feeling any impact.
After dawn, he ate tangyuan with his family. Chen Jiuyang said, "I'm going to Fengcheng today to handle some matters and will only return at night."
"Good, good, go. Don't delay important matters," Chen Jianmin and Zhang Xiuzhen said with a smile. "Your maternal grandmother and them are coming today."
Maternal grandmother? Back then, his maternal grandmother's family brought Monk Puhui, but he didn't know if Monk Puhui would still come looking for him in this life.
