Chapter 178 : What If There Is a Dao Bone?
Chapter 178: What If There Is a Dao Bone?
“What an unexpected delight!”
“The Dragon and Phoenix divine abilities have both reached Initiated. Only the Black Tortoise and White Tiger divine abilities remain!”
“Once I comprehend the Black Tortoise and White Tiger divine abilities, I can cultivate Immortal Techniques!”
“Immortal Techniques!”
Li Yunqing was overjoyed, a gentle smile appearing between her brows.
Divine abilities were complete manifestations of the momentum of heaven and earth condensed into seeds—equivalent to fragments of the laws of heaven and earth.
Once a divine ability reached perfection, it was equivalent to mastering a type of law.
As for Immortal Techniques, they were formed by combining two or more complete laws of heaven and earth, unleashing power that completely surpassed the human realm.
If divine abilities could move mountains and overturn seas, then Immortal Techniques could reshape heaven and earth.
The gap between them could not be measured by reason.
For ordinary people, comprehending even a single law of heaven and earth would already exhaust their efforts.
To fully grasp multiple laws and perfectly combine them required vast amounts of time to refine and integrate—
And success was not even guaranteed.
Thus, creating a divine ability might not be difficult, but creating an Immortal Technique was like ascending to the heavens.
It required opportunity, fortuitous encounters, unparalleled comprehension, and even the tempering of blood and fire.
This was also the rarity and power of an Innate Dao Bone.
An Innate Dao Bone contained Immortal Techniques within it. There was no need for comprehension—it would autonomously absorb the laws of heaven and earth and generate them on its own.
The Immortal Techniques born from a Dao Bone could be activated as long as one had sufficient power, because they were inherently part of the body.
If one’s comprehension was sufficient, once they understood the laws contained within the Dao Bone—even a True Immortal Technique could make one a supreme existence in the mortal world.
If it produced Immortal King or Immortal Emperor Techniques, then being invincible across the nine heavens and ten lands would not be difficult.
Thinking of this, Li Yunqing’s gaze shifted to her panel.
“Pure Yin Momentum: Mastery (5% → 55%)”
“Yang Spirit: Mastery (1% → 15%)”
“As expected—when Yin and Yang revolve, all things are born!”
“The Pure Yin Dao, like the Pure Yang Dao, can contain and encompass all things. The momentum of heaven and earth from the True Dragon and Phoenix divine abilities has also been absorbed into the Pure Yin Momentum.”
“In the future, as long as I focus on cultivating divine abilities to perfection, the laws will naturally be born!”
At this moment, Li Yunqing once again realized the terrifying nature of the Longevity Panel.
She only needed to grind experience, to raise divine abilities to perfection—and she would comprehend the laws.
Not only could she strengthen her inner world, she could also attempt combinations to create invincible Immortal Techniques.
“Even Immortal Emperor Techniques are not impossible!”
“To contain all laws and refine them into one furnace—this is indeed a supreme path, the most suitable supreme path for one who possesses longevity.”
“Unfortunately, only eighty-six years remain!”
Thinking of the Ten Lands Reincarnation Battle, Li Yunqing fell silent.
Time was too short—far too short for her to create Immortal King or Immortal Emperor Techniques.
If she had another ten thousand years, the mere Ten Lands Reincarnation Battle would not trouble her at all.
“I still need to rapidly increase my realm and seek other paths!”
“Fusing all laws into one furnace is a long-term endeavor. It can only be done slowly!”
“As long as I don’t die, I will eventually succeed!”
With that thought, Li Yunqing raised her head and looked at the gazes focused on her, lifting her hand slightly.
“Roar!”
“Cry!”
Amid dragon roars and phoenix cries, the white true dragon and the fiery phoenix merged directly back into her body.
The dragon’s might and phoenix flames disappeared entirely.
Li Yunqing’s expression was calm, her tone gentle as she said, “I gained a slight insight during cultivation. Sorry for the disturbance.”
Hearing her gentle voice, everyone paused, a strange feeling rising in their hearts.
Gaining Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan divine abilities—and she called that “a slight insight”?
For others, comprehending even one divine ability took years, even decades.
Yet Li Yunqing casually “gained slight insight” and comprehended both Dragon and Phoenix divine abilities. The comparison was infuriating.
“Truly worthy of being the Path Pioneer!”
For a moment, many people shared this thought.
Only a Path Pioneer would consider such talent normal.
The path of cultivation could extend lifespan, but it could not stop aging—at most, it slowed it.
With Li Yunqing’s youthful appearance, no matter how one calculated, she could not be over twenty.
A Fifth Realm expert at twenty—none could be found in the world.
“You say Fairy Yunqing is only fifteen?”
On the imperial carriage, Di Qing’s voice trembled slightly.
A fifteen-year-old in the Profound Realm existed in the Central Region—they were considered supreme geniuses.
A fifteen-year-old in the Divine Realm? Not a single one existed in the entire Central Region.
But at fifteen, already surpassing the Divine Realm and stepping into the Fifth Realm—
That could no longer be described as talent. Even “monster” was insufficient.
Moreover, such a person was not even a reincarnator.
This kind of talent made Di Qing feel that perhaps, eighty-six years later, the Reincarnation Battle could truly be resisted.
“Indeed. She has cultivated for less than half a year!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan spoke—but even as he said it, he was shaken.
He had witnessed Li Yunqing’s growth firsthand.
In less than half a year, she had reached the Fifth Realm.
Compared to her, those in their thirties or forties who had yet to break into the Divine Realm—were they all worthless?
“Half a year…”
Di Qing fell silent.
Such a monstrous genius—why had she only begun cultivating half a year ago?
If she had been in the Central Region, the moment her talent appeared, countless Divine Realm experts would have competed to guide her.
If she had started cultivating at eight or nine, in five or six years, Li Yunqing would have already pioneered a new path and become a Path Pioneer years earlier.
“Great Yu is remote, lacking resources, and plagued by constant war.”
“Many small families are unwilling to spend great resources training daughters in martial arts. Instead, they cultivate zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, intending for marriage alliances!”
Sword God Ying Jiu explained.
Such situations were common.
Even in the Jianghu, if descendants lacked martial talent, they would be married off at sixteen or seventeen to produce offspring.
Resources were always allocated to the most talented.
In great families, those without talent would be pushed aside.
All resources would be concentrated on the most gifted—that was human nature.
After all, cultivating a single genius required immense cost.
Which family would willingly invest in a daughter destined to marry out?
“Her father is unworthy of being human!”
Hearing the explanation, Di Qing could not help but rebuke sharply, unable to calm his emotions.
If she were in the Central Region, such talent would be cultivated at all costs.
Men could become strong—women could too.
Once accomplished, even bringing in a husband could elevate an entire family.
Marriage alliances might be quick—but would the foundation be stable?
“Indeed… somewhat unworthy of being human!”
The Sword Saint of Cangshan spoke, unexpectedly agreeing.
Others might not know, but he had stayed in Qingzhou for a long time and had heard certain things.
If not for arranging Li Yunqing with Jiang Yu, her father might not have even sent her to a martial hall.
Though he understood that small families lacked resources to train daughters, thinking of Li Yunqing’s talent—
No matter how much he understood, anger still rose within him.
Li Yunqing did not know that in just this short moment, her father had already become the example of someone “unworthy of being human.”
Even if she knew, she would likely just smile it off.
After all, she had only awakened her memories and the Longevity Panel at fifteen. Relying on her previous life’s foundation in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she had maxed them out in just over ten days.
Even if she had started martial cultivation earlier, she likely would not have achieved much.
If there was blame, it could only be that the Soup of Forgetfulness had been too diluted.
“You actually succeeded!”
On the carriage, Ying Qianqian’s shock was impossible to conceal.
When she had passed the divine ability to Li Yunqing, she had only wanted to repay her.
The divine abilities of the Four Sacred Spirits were extremely difficult to cultivate without their bloodline.
Otherwise, someone would have long gathered all four and fused them into an Immortal Technique.
Yet after so many years, such a thing was almost unheard of.
Clearly, without the bloodline of the Four Sacred Spirits, cultivating their divine abilities was extraordinarily difficult.
Yet Li Yunqing had reached Initiated—and from the looks of it, she was no weaker than Ying Qianqian, who possessed the Azure Dragon bloodline.
What puzzled her even more was that she had not sensed any True Dragon bloodline from Li Yunqing.
This was truly unbelievable.
“Mm, it took me twenty days to reach Initiated. A bit slow!”
Li Yunqing nodded, her tone somewhat regretful.
Twenty days—in the past, if she had been grinding martial arts, she could have already reached perfection.
But now, the level of techniques was higher and higher. Even with relentless effort day and night, progress was no longer so fast.
Hearing this, Ying Qianqian opened her mouth, but after a long while, could not say a single word.
Li Yunqing did not notice. Her gaze shifted to the Dao Scripture.
“Dao Scripture: Initiated (2881/5000)”
“I should first grind the Dao Scripture to Minor Completion!”
“What if there is a Dao Bone?”
