Congratulations, junior brother!
Daoist Qianfeng and other Daoists flew over to congratulate Xia Mangqing.
"Qingxuan greets all senior brothers and sisters."
Xia Mangqing bowed respectfully. Although he was the personal disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor, he was still only at the World Realm, so he still had to address these Dao Lords as Senior Brother and Senior Sister.
Of course, if he becomes a Dao Lord of Life and Death and surpasses these Dao Lords in strength, they will also have to call Xia Mangqing their senior brother.
Strength is paramount; this is the ironclad rule among cultivators in most cases.
"Qingxuan, come here, let me introduce you to these people."
Daoist Qianfeng laughed, saying that those he brought here were at least nominal disciples of Emperor Yongheng.
They were naturally very curious about Xia Mangqing, the newly accepted disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor, and expressed their goodwill after being introduced by Daoist Qianfeng.
After that, Xia Mangqing's clone truly joined the Heavenly Ruins Palace and began cultivating there, occasionally discussing the Dao with a Daoist named Sheng Si Daojun.
Of course, most of the time, he stayed in a secret hall in an ordinary holy site of the Heavenly Ruins Palace. This secret hall was similar to the Ancient Scripture Repository, but the difference was that the supernatural powers, secret techniques, and Daoist scriptures collected here were not of a high level, at most at the level of a top-level fourth-step Dao Lord, which was incomparable to the Ancient Scripture Repository.
However, there are advantages here as well. There are no restrictions. Any disciple of the Tianxu Camp can come here to study at any time without paying any price.
Therefore, although these are relatively ordinary inheritances, they are an excellent place for Xia Mangqing, who wants to embark on the ultimate path of chaos, to lay a solid foundation.
After all, the Chaos Dao inheritance in the cave world that Emperor Tianxu gave him was too little. Although it was an inheritance carefully selected by Emperor Tianxu, it was obviously more suitable for laying a foundation compared to the more than 5,000 volumes of Chaos Dao inheritance at the Dao Lord level in the Secret Method Hall.
Yu Yu Tian, the main vein of the Golden Crow.
In a dazzling land covered by the sun god's fire, Xia Mangqing is breaking through the barrier.
Only a few years have passed since the ancient war, and he has now become a god.
Of course, he could step into the Void Path at any time if he wanted to, but he was undergoing his final transformation—inscribing the ninth layer of Chaos Restriction!
At the center of the Land of Divine Fire, a colossal golden crow lay prostrate, as if asleep, surrounded only by the boundless divine fire of the sun.
It bounces, yet it doesn't harm it in the slightest.
Rumble—
Suddenly, a booming sound came from within the Golden Crow's body, and the chaotic light suddenly erupted, reaching its peak of brilliance. Even the Sun God Fire was submerged and devoured at this moment.
"Hey!!"
With a long cry, the Golden Crow suddenly opened its eyes, within which flames danced. However, these flames were completely different from the golden solar divine fire of ordinary Golden Crows. The flames in its eyes seemed to be a chaotic mass, as if they had ignited all the myriad paths.
boom!
Another deafening roar, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting, was heard. In the distance, several powerful beings of the Golden Crow Clan appeared, gazing at this world, but could only see endless chaotic light and countless runes that blotted out the sky.
"What is that?!"
An elder was utterly horrified. In the sky-covering runes, he saw endless directions of evolution, and even his own Dao and Dharma!
"What has Qingxuan cultivated?!" Another elder was shocked. They all knew that Xia Mangqing was in seclusion here, but the scene at this moment made them all tremble.
Just as they were still reeling from the shock, a long roar resounded once more from the Land of Endless Divine Fire. Immediately afterward, a blurry figure shot straight into the sky, as if splitting open the chaos to recreate the world!
Rumble—
All paths resonated, while chaos dissipated. However, it couldn't be said to dissipate; rather, it seemed to be condensing towards a single point. Billions of runes were condensing and evolving, first becoming more complex, then more concise, and finally transforming into a rune shrouded in chaotic energy, which even the powerful Golden Crow Clan members couldn't see through!
Buzz—
The heavens and earth trembled slightly, and a hazy, chaotic light spread out, enveloping the blurry figure. Then, the figure changed and gradually transformed into a human form.
Under the shroud of chaotic light, it was still difficult for ordinary people to see his true appearance, but all the powerful Golden Crow Clan members watching from the side knew who he was—the Holy Son of Azure Profound.
That holy son from a branch of the Three Thousand Provinces.
However, he has now proven his strength with absolute power, and even within the main branch, he holds a pivotal position.
"This is... a chaotic entity?"
At this moment, Xia Mangqing was sensing his own condition.
He had inscribed all nine layers of chaotic restrictions into his body, and now he had undergone an ultimate transformation. Deep within his sea of consciousness, there was also a blue flower swaying, constructed from endless chaotic restriction runes. Within it was a space with the same function as the one in the wilderness.
However, perhaps because he had inscribed the Chaos Restriction on his body, his body also underwent an extreme transformation.
Upon internal observation, the Golden Crow Blood, which originally radiated brilliant golden light, has now completely transformed into a chaotic color, and its body and bones are also naturally absorbing and transforming chaotic energy.
Even the perception and resonance with the laws of heaven and earth and the Great Dao became increasingly clear, and all the Daos were "clearly visible".
"Shouldn't it be considered a chaotic entity?"
Xia Mangqing thought to himself that this transformation had allowed his bloodline, body, and primordial spirit to evolve. Protective techniques like the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" were nurtured to perfection during the transformation, even without deliberate cultivation.
"What exactly a Chaos Body is, we don't know, but if a Chaos Body exists in this era—it must be a banished immortal, right?"
Xia Mangqing deduced in his mind that the banished immortal used the "Fierce Nest" layout to sacrifice many living beings and melt their essence, which was similar to the method used by ruthless people in later generations to cultivate the Chaos Body.
Of course, it is still unknown whether the Chaos Body can be cultivated in this era, but at least Xia Mangqing has cultivated what he considers the "Chaos Body", which is not formed by bloodline origin, but by the myriad paths!
"The Ninefold Chaos Restriction can perhaps be seen as an extremely simplified version of the origin of all things," Xia Mangqing thought to himself. This was an insight he gained after his body bore the complete Ninefold Chaos Restriction.
In the past, the Supreme Being created the Ninefold Chaos Restriction with the ultimate goal of creating a perfect system. Its foundation is naturally the origin of all things, which is why the Chaos Restriction has no end to its evolution.
"Formed from the Dao, let's call it the Chaotic Dao Body."
Xia Mangqing added that this physique was different from the chaotic physique he knew, so he added a word to distinguish it.
wow~
As the chaotic light gradually dissipated, he truly appeared outward. His appearance remained unchanged, but his temperament underwent an astonishing transformation.
If he was once a sharp, piercing divine blade capable of cleaving the heavens and the earth, then he is now an endless, chaotic void, seemingly without end and unfathomable.
One step forward, and the world turns upside down.
Although this realm cannot invoke the power of the Dao, the creation of various Daos in the desolate wilderness has allowed him to push various precious techniques to their limits, making him unparalleled among his peers. Even those great beings do not have a far better understanding of the Dao and the Law than he does.
That is, only by relying on his superior cultivation can he become stronger than him.
"Greetings, esteemed elders."
In the next instant, Xia Mangqing had already walked out of the Divine Fire Land and arrived in front of the group of Golden Crow elders, bowing and saying hello.
"Qingxuan, what have you cultivated?"
A young man asked. He looked young, but he was an elder of the Golden Crow Clan at the quasi-supreme level. Xia Mangqing had met him when he first came to the Golden Crow Clan.
"Reporting to the Elder, I have merely perfected the Dao I cultivated when I first started cultivating immortal energy," Xia Mangqing said calmly. "It can be considered—"
—Perhaps he cultivated a special physique.
"A special constitution?!"
The young elder was taken aback. This physique was indeed quite special; even he couldn't see through it. It was too mysterious.
However, the previous scene of chaos evolving into myriad paths all demonstrated the power of this physique. He had a premonition that Xia Mangqing had created an unparalleled physique.
Perhaps it can be compared to those long-standing, supposedly invincible paths.
"So, how strong are you now?"
On one side, a female elder inquired. She had also seen him before and was also a quasi-supreme. Xia Mangqing's breakthrough this time was too tumultuous, shaking an entire ancient land. Endless chaotic light permeated the area, attracting many ancient beings of the Golden Crow Clan.
"An ordinary Void Dao Realm cultivator could be killed with a flick of the finger."
Xia Mangqing said calmly, "Ultimately, it depends on one's foundation and cultivation. If it's someone who has cultivated three strands of immortal energy and fused with a perfect immortal seed, he can deal with them now, but killing them would be too difficult."
But if one hasn't cultivated immortal energy and isn't a seed of immortality—then in his eyes, one is just an ordinary cultivator, and killing them would be easy.
More importantly, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are incomplete, and his cultivation is not truly perfect. Otherwise, with his level of cultivation, killing a genius who has fused with a perfect immortal seed would be no problem.
Moreover, this is without using his trump cards such as mental strength and the merging of a thousand bodies; otherwise, he would only be stronger. According to his calculations, his current maximum combat strength is considered top-tier among those in the Self-Slaying Realm.
The elders were shocked, but they also felt it was normal. After all, when Xia Mangqing first came to the Golden Crow Clan, he already possessed combat power comparable to the Void Dao Realm. Now that he has become a Heavenly God and made a breakthrough, it is reasonable for him to have such combat power.
"Truly worthy of being the young supreme of our clan."
An old man stroked his beard and smiled. He was one of the three quasi-supreme beings he had met in the past. He held a very high position in the Golden Crow Clan. When the supreme beings did not appear, he usually ruled the Golden Crow Clan.
His words were, without a doubt, the final verdict.
From this moment on, Xia Mangqing is not only the Holy Son of the Three Thousand Dao States lineage, but also the young supreme of the Golden Crow clan of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the future leader of the Golden Crow clan.
Of course, Xia Mangqing now fully deserves the title of "Young Supreme". You should know that the standards for Young Supreme in the Nine Heavens are different from those in the Three Thousand Provinces.
Among the three thousand provinces, there may even be a saying of "the supreme being of one province". But in the Nine Heavens, the word "supreme" carries immense weight. Only beings who are truly invincible among their peers can be honored as young supreme beings.
Moreover, this matter is to be announced to the outside world, not just discussed within the Golden Crow Clan, but spread throughout the Nine Heavens, so that countless geniuses and prodigies may know about it.
After all, each young supreme being is not chosen by a single person in their clan. To gain the respect and approval of countless cultivators, they must go through one battle after another.
It is foreseeable that after the news of Xia Mangqing being called the young supreme of the Golden Crow Clan spreads, challengers will definitely come knocking, but he doesn't care about it.
He wasn't afraid of anyone competing with his peers, let alone the monstrous geniuses of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or even those from the Immortal Realm whose cultivation and laws were perfected.
He was confident that he could kill any fellow cultivator from another realm.
"Brother, shouldn't the Immortal Crow Pool be opened to Qingxuan?"
The young man spoke with a smile.
The old man smiled faintly: "Indeed, how could our clan's young supreme being refuse the baptism of the Immortal Crow Pool?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Mangqing and said, "And I'm also curious about what kind of changes will occur after you, Qingxuan, undergo the baptism of the Immortal Crow Pool, given your special physique."
"So, when do you plan to go to Xianwu Pond?"
"I am available at any time."
Xia Mangqing looked on with a hint of anticipation.
He had heard of the Immortal Crow Pool long ago, but this opportunity was not something that could be obtained simply by knowing about it; it depended on one's talent and potential, and one also had to undergo some trials.
Xia Mangqing's talent and strength both meet the requirements, so the test can't stop him at all. In addition, they have been observing Xia Mangqing's character over the past few years, so they decided to let him enter the Immortal Crow Pool.
"Alright, then three days from now."
"Go and make proper preparations."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled. Opening the Immortal Crow Pool requires some preparation. It is the true foundation of the Golden Crow Clan, and it is not a place that can be opened just like that.
"Yes."
Xia Mangqing agreed, taking the opportunity to sort out his own condition. He felt that there were still many wonderful aspects of his current physique that he had not yet discovered.
As the quasi-supreme elders prepared to open the Immortal Crow Pool, and Xia Mangqing sorted out and explored the state of his Chaotic Dao Body, the news that the Golden Crow Clan had chosen a young supreme being was also announced to the public.
The Jin family, a long-lived clan residing in Yu Yu Tian just like the Jinwu clan, was the first to learn of this news.
"A young supreme being? For the Golden Crow Clan to make such a grand display, he must be a monstrous talent."
"Rumor has it that the Golden Crow Clan brought many prodigies from its ten branches a few years ago. Could this young supreme being be one of them?"
"I have heard that a prodigy has emerged among the Golden Crow Clan of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. It is said that he cultivated immortal energy on his own."
"Immortal aura—if that's the case, it's truly remarkable. But it's also an opportunity to send a young member of the clan to see this young supreme being of the Golden Crow Clan."
An elder of the Jin family spoke up, saying that the reputation of a young supreme being is always earned through hard work, especially in this era. To dare to call oneself a young supreme being, one must not be afraid of being challenged.
The Jin family was no exception, as were other ancient clans and lineages in Yu Yu Tian. After receiving the news, they all planned to send someone to make the trip.
Moreover, this is only Yu Yutian. As the news spreads further, more young beings will arrive at the Golden Crow Clan to challenge Xia Mangqing.
However, Xia Mangqing was unaware of these things at the time.
Led by the quasi-supreme elder, he had already entered an ancient land. After traveling tens of thousands of miles, he finally saw a golden pool, which had been smelted with immortal gold and was shrouded in boundless immortal energy.
Without a doubt, this is a celestial artifact!
It did not unleash its power, but simply by standing there, Xia Mangqing felt an astonishing pressure.
At a glance, he saw that the Immortal Crow Pool was filled with a pool of golden liquid, which was said to be the blood of the immortal golden crow. But at this moment, it looked like liquid flames, and contained countless fire runes, explaining the mysteries of the immortal path.
Xia Mangqing observed for a moment before revealing his true form and leaping into the Immortal Crow Pool.
hiss-
As soon as he entered the pool, the golden liquid seemed to come alive, as if it had a spirit, and continuously flowed into Xia Mangqing's body.
At this moment, Xia Mangqing's Golden Crow body seemed to be being tempered, his bones and blood becoming increasingly pure. However, unlike other Golden Crows, his bones and blood were now a chaotic color, and as they were being tempered by the golden liquid, the hazy chaotic light became even more dazzling.
"Um?"
But what amazed Xia Mangqing the most was that the runes on the original precious bone in his body seemed to come alive after being covered by the golden liquid, evolving and transforming towards a higher level!
"This golden liquid definitely contains the profound runes of the Immortal Golden Crow." Xia Mangqing realized that otherwise, such a transformation would never have occurred.
"However, it is not easy to completely transform into immortal runes —" Xia Mangqing deduced. The Immortal Crow Pool can temper bloodlines and enhance the mysteries of original runes, but it also depends on how much an individual can absorb.
Although both the Golden Crow Clan of the Immortal Realm and the Golden Crow Clan of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are Golden Crows, there is a difference in their bloodline levels. Simply put, even if they are both at the Heavenly God Realm, the Golden Crow Clan of the Immortal Realm can reach it more easily, and their combat power is usually stronger than that of the Golden Crow Clan of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Of course, this is also affected by the environment.
But without a doubt, if Xia Mangqing can undergo a complete transformation, his foundation will become even stronger.
With this thought in mind, he activated his Chaotic Dao Body, and in an instant, myriad paths roared. His body seemed to transform into endless chaos, frantically devouring the golden liquid in the Immortal Crow Pool.
Just as Xia Mangqing was undergoing her transformation, the longevity families of Yu Yutian, along with some powerful members of imperial clans and Dao lineages, also brought a group of young beings to the outskirts of the Golden Crow Clan.
The Golden Crow Clan knew their purpose, so they did not stop them. Instead, they sent elders to guide them into their territory.
"Fellow Daoists and young friends, our clan's young supreme being is currently in seclusion for cultivation. However, since you have come, we are well aware of your purpose."
The guiding elder smiled and said, "If you want to challenge our clan's young supreme, that's fine, but our clan's young supreme doesn't have that much time, and it's impossible for him to personally deal with everyone."
"so----"
He pointed in a direction: "Our clan's young supreme will face you all in that Dao Palace, but on the way there, there are other geniuses and prodigies of our clan. Only by defeating them will you be qualified to challenge our clan's young supreme."
