Chapter 1298 - 690: Secluded Cultivation, Advancing Strength
True Martial Sect’s Great Island.
In a silent space.
Jiang Shu sat cross-legged, his hands continuously making seals, with strands of the Great Dao running from between his palms, gradually aligning with the intricate ancient patterns on the jade box.
As the jade box slowly opened.
The aura of east half of Donghuang Demon Lord’s Dragon Horn emerged once again.
Compared to when Taiwu Daoist Venerable employed it, Jiang Shu now could better sense the breathtaking power from within this half Dragon Horn.
Just observing it could reveal the crisscrossing of the Great Dao.
Amidst these intersecting Great Daos, a golden line was exceedingly clear, seeming to link all Great Daos together.
"This should be Donghuang Demon Lord’s Time Dao."
"My current realm is still somewhat low. Moreover, after ascending to the Mixed Cave Realm, my foundation is insufficient. Forcibly comprehending the Time Dao isn’t much beneficial for me."
"On the contrary, it’s easy to be influenced by the Time Dao."
"First, start with its fundamental power, then refine the essence blood, and finally refine the Great Dao step by step."
Jiang Shu whispered, having made up his mind.
Though he received such an opportunity.
His mind naturally wouldn’t be swayed by the treasure.
He took a deep breath, firstly placing the whole jade box into the Mixed Cave Space he opened within his body.
Such a treasure cannot be revealed outward.
The Mixed Cave Space within is the most beneficial location.
Almost instantaneously, an illusory halo rippled out, and the phantom of the World Tree swayed with grace!
At the same time, the more than ten Great Dao Lock Chains within Jiang Shu’s body hummed and intertwined, starting to endlessly encircle the jade box, gradually devouring the aura power emitted from the half Dragon Horn of Donghuang Demon Lord.
With the power aura of that half Dragon Horn being sealed by various Great Dao powers, the illusion of the World Tree spread forth, greedily sucking the aura from Donghuang Demon Lord.
Vaguely, on those branches, indistinct patterns began to surface.
Very subtle, yet truly existed!
Vaguely, the aura of Space Dao Jiang Shu had long comprehended intertwined, seemingly about to fuse.
Buzz!
A slight change seemed to occur between the Mixed Cave Spaces, Jiang Shu could clearly feel that his inner world became more stable, and the space expanded outward little by little.
He immersed himself in a state of seclusion.
As if he forgot the passage of time.
Unaware of how long had passed.
Until the aura of the half Dragon Horn from Donghuang Demon Lord was fully absorbed by Jiang Shu’s World Tree, only then did Jiang Shu slowly open his eyes, revealing a hint of satisfaction.
The Mixed Cave Realm is virtually the pinnacle combat force of the Cang Mang Domain and Demon Domain.
To advance further is exceedingly difficult.
The vast majority of Mixed Cave Realm Daoist Venables are stuck at the early stage.
Only a very few manage to ascend to the middle stage.
And among the middle stage, only sparingly few reach the late stage.
The Mixed Cave Space is the inner world each Mixed Cave Realm Daoist Venerable opens, akin to a miniature universe.
Each step forward requires the consumption of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, described as a massive amount.
Some Daoist Venables of Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage may spend a millennium’s accumulation, yet might not be able to ascend to the late stage.
Jiang Shu’s closed eyes slowly opened.
If he fully absorbs Donghuang Demon Lord’s half Dragon Horn.
Naturally, he could ascend to a Mixed Cave Realm Late Stage, and might even progress further, infinitely close to the existence of Taiwu Daoist Venerable.
However, doing so would require expending too much time and energy.
He needs to remain in seclusion for an extended period.
Rather than that, when he hits a bottleneck, he should venture out to cultivate and seek new opportunities.
At this moment, he had completely stabilized his realm at the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage.
If previously he was merely at the initial entry of the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage.
Now, he is in a position approaching the extreme within the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage.
Yet, some comprehension of the Great Dao can’t quite keep up.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shu didn’t rush to stand up, but instead operated the Panwu Great Strength Dao Book several times.
By absorbing Donghuang Demon Lord’s half Dragon Horn.
Some emanating Great Dao aura was also gradually absorbed and comprehended.
In the Power Dao, he had a new understanding.
Once the Power Dao progressed further.
He then performed the Great Void Heart Scripture, the surrounding space seemed like Mirror Flower Water Moon, layer by layer shattering.
The long stagnant Space Dao also underwent new changes.
"Whew..."
Slowly exhaling a breath.
This time’s significant seclusion.
Jiang Shu’s realm itself didn’t advance further, still in the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage.
After all, at this level, advancing further is exceedingly difficult.
But it doesn’t mean his battle strength didn’t improve during this seclusion.
His Fundamental Dao, Power Dao progressed another step.
The Space Dao, most crucial to comprehend in the Mixed Cave Realm, also gained new insights.
Not to mention, his realm has thoroughly stabilized in the Mixed Cave Realm Middle Stage.
At this moment, even confronting some Late Stage Realm Demon Venerables, he could fight fiercely!
Moreover, there’s a probability of directly defeating them!
After all, the Great Dao he comprehends might even surpass certain Demon Venerables.
Regrettably, during this time of comprehending Great Dao within Donghuang Demon Lord’s half Dragon Horn, he didn’t touch the Time Dao.
This Great Dao is still too profound.
For him at this moment, it could deeply entangle him.
Instead, it’s easy to forget time, unnecessarily squandering excessive time and energy.
"Time Dao... that Heaven-Burning Ancestor merely comprehended a thread, and the injuries caused me to expend numerous means to resolve."
