Realm-Hopping Martial Master

These Great Daos and the intricate ancient patterns on the jade box seem to originate from the same source.

Each Great Dao is connected to the intricate ancient patterns.

In this connection, it feels as if a natural Great Array is being created in the void.

Until the moment the Great Array stabilizes, the jade box slowly opens a gap, and the scorching golden light seems to pierce through countless spaces. The power emanating from within the jade box shocks Jiang Shu.

This is... the aura of a Demon Lord!

Jiang Shu’s eyes suddenly change.

In the Star Ruins Realm, he had encountered Saints and knew their strength.

In the Demon Domain, he had shared a room with the Nirvana Realm ancestor, Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

He had personally felt the aura of a Demon Race Demon Lord.

This aura is unmistakable!

You must know that in today’s Demon Domain, there are thousands of races.

But those who can truly rule an area are all, without exception, supreme major races who have produced Demon Lords!

Races like the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Kunpeng Clan rely not only on heritage and bloodline but also have strong individuals in the realm of a Demon Lord!

This realm of existence has long comprehended the Time Dao.

Unless assimilated with Heaven and Earth, even a Daoist Lord of the same realm cannot completely eradicate them.

They are immortal existences!

No matter how great the crisis, they can use the Time Dao to restore all injuries suffered.

Such an existence was once slain by the True Martial Sect and even sealed within a jade box?

It took a full hour for Taiwu Daoist Venerable to gradually release the seals above, revealing a half piece of dragon horn as red-gold as the sun.

Though it was only half a horn, the aura emanating from it fully blossomed within the jade box.

Each ray of light seemed to possess a soul-stirring power.

Just witnessing it was enough to captivate.

The half dragon horn was as pristine as if newly forged, appearing eternal.

Outside the jade box, lines of Great Dao and intricate ancient patterns formed a new sealing Great Array, completely locking the aura emanating from this dragon horn within.

The aura of a Demon Lord felt by Jiang Shu just now originated from this item.

"What is this?"

"The Dragon Clan, five thousand years ago, welcomed a newly ascended Demon Lord named Donghuang Demon Lord. During his ascension to Demon Lord, he led a demon army to invade our Cang Mang Domain."

"Throughout, several sect Daoist Masters attempted to intercept and were forced to retreat repeatedly."

"Until the Daoist Master of the True Martial Sect intervened, displaying supreme means to sever half of his dragon horn."

"Sadly, following this battle, the senior Daoist Master was sensed by the Heavenly Dao and had to remain in seclusion, unable to emerge until now."

"This half dragon horn is what he left within the sect."

"Inside, it contains both part of Donghuang Demon Lord’s Great Dao comprehension and his purest essence blood."

"Although this essence blood surely can’t compare to Ancestor Dragon bloodline, that is the complete Ancestor Dragon bloodline. Your current Golden Horn avatar has merely received the Ancestor Dragon bloodline inheritance."

"If you can comprehend part of it from this half dragon horn, just the Dragon Clan’s Great Daoist Divine Skills can further strengthen your Golden Horn avatar."

"Not to mention, there is also the bloodline purification of its essence blood."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable displayed a hint of pride.

Though Jiang Shu possesses countless opportunities, any cultivator wishing to elevate quickly.

Needs to rely on a major force.

If Jiang Shu were not in the True Martial Sect but in other sects like the Dan Fu Sect or Sword Control Sect.

Though they too belong to the Eight Great Sects.

They may not possess such heritage or grand vision.

After all, such a treasure, even individuals like himself covet.

Some Daoist Venerables at the Mixed Cave Realm Late Stage, upon discovering, would abandon all decorum to compete.

Though the path of Daoist Master or Demon Lord isn’t taken lightly.

At crucial times, having the potential to take that step, many a Daoist Venerable would seize the chance.

While they may choose not to step forward, they cannot be unqualified!

Only with qualification, can one truly aspire to ascend, to transcend ordinary Daoist Venerables!

"Your Golden Horn avatar belongs to the Dragon Clan, and you have learned the Dragon Transformation Technique, so you naturally know that some Dragon Clan cultivations hinge entirely on this dragon horn."

"This half dragon horn also contains a portion of Donghuang Demon Lord’s comprehension of the Time Dao."

"Of course, my suggestion is that you might glean some other Great Daos from this half dragon horn, but do not easily attempt to comprehend the Time Dao."

"It’s not that I doubt your aptitude, Jiang Shu."

"It’s to prevent your prodigious comprehension from being influenced during the process, thereby triggering Donghuang Demon Lord’s awareness. Once detected, he might target you no matter the cost, and we may not be able to stop him."

"Donghuang Demon Lord was so young. He only acted five thousand years ago."

"Now we don’t know what realm he has reached."

"However, as long as you slowly comprehend, through Donghuang Demon Lord’s Time Dao, you will eventually grasp your own Time Dao without harm."

"Hiss!"

On hearing this, Jiang Shu couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

From the beginning, he knew the True Martial Sect had deep roots, but he did not expect it could reveal Donghuang Demon Lord’s half dragon horn.

Containing a portion of the Time Dao.

It’s plainly presented to him as a path of advancement.

This precious resource is one that even the Supreme Sect Leader would vie for.

"Many thanks, Supreme Sect Leader."

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, choosing not to say anything more.

To him, although he has done quite a bit for the True Martial Sect during this time.

No amount of work compares to this half dragon horn.

No matter if he slays twice as many Demon Venerables or even demolishes the entire Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array.

His achievements could not exchange for this half dragon horn.

The more he cultivates, the more he understands the importance of this half dragon horn.

This is why his sense of belonging to the True Martial Sect grows stronger.

The True Martial Sect’s investment far outweighs his return!

"Let’s skip the formalities. When comprehending this half dragon horn, exercise utmost caution."

"Understood."

Jiang Shu nodded immediately, his eyes filled with fervor.

The further into the Mixed Cave Realm he goes, the more he knows how difficult realm cultivation becomes.

At realms like the Primordial Pill Realm and Nirvana Realm, he could rely on various elixirs to advance.

But nearing Mixed Cave Realm, every step grows increasingly tougher.

Comprehending the Dao becomes progressively slower.

Ascending to the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage nearly consumed his entire foundation.

But now, this half dragon horn of Donghuang Daoist Lord.

Makes him see a path to quickly reaching the Mixed Cave Realm Late Stage!

You must know, to him at this moment.

Heaven-Burning Ancestor is like an oppressive cloud, constantly looming.

Half-step Demon Lord is akin to a giant elephant in the ant’s eye.

Unless he directly shuttles across the Two Realms.

He has no means of resistance.

But now, if he can leverage the half dragon horn to advance his realm.

Reaching the Mixed Cave Realm Late Stage with his exceeding foundation.

Even if unable to defeat Heaven-Burning Ancestor.

He is confident to face Heaven-Burning Ancestor in battle!

"Remember my method of unlocking the seal earlier; open it gradually when interpreting."

"Do not underestimate this half dragon horn."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable smiled, looking at Jiang Shu with appreciation.

And Jiang Shu, raising his hand, took the jade box. Gazing at the half dragon horn within, sealed by the Great Dao and intricate ancient patterns, his eyes burned as he felt the vast and pure power within.

Even without absorbing the essence blood in the dragon horn.

Even without comprehending the Great Dao within the dragon horn.

Just absorbing the power within the dragon horn could push him significantly forward in the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage!
