Chapter 967: Chapter 55: First-class True Intent, Four Seasons Divine Splendor, Breaking Through Third-rank, Floating Achieved!
"My goal is simply to break through to the third rank, initial mastery is sufficient, no need to waste much time."
To condense a third-rank Taoist body, only initial mastery is needed; even a first-class true intent can be gradually cultivated to the first rank later.
Zhao Xing cupped his hand in farewell and decisively withdrew.
That afternoon, he found another wooden house.
"Such formidable vitality!"
Zhao Xing felt his Qi and blood instantly surge, automatically circulating.
In an instant, his heartbeat quickened, and his Qi and blood surged like an ocean.
The intense vitality, as if overwhelming and pervasive, seemed to want to break through the structure of life itself!
Zhao Xing astonishingly grew three centimeters taller in that moment.
Moreover, he subconsciously wanted to drive the Roc Transformation.
"Incredible! The vitality is as vast as the heavens and earth, giving one a sense of warped cultivation as if practicing the Marquis Transformation Method."
"Cangwu True Intent, only the dao of Cangwu True Intent can give such a sensation." Zhao Xing immediately judged.
The true meaning of Tao that could be cultivated to the first rank was easy to identify, as they were all unique existences.
Zhao Xing did not hesitate and immediately sat down to meditate.
...
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the eighth day of July.
Liu Tianning arrived at Wandao Plain aboard the Golden Dragon Warship, gazing at the Ten Thousand Dao Tree from afar.
Whoosh, whoosh~
Ji Zixuan saw the warship arrive and immediately ran up to the ship.
"Dean Liu."
"Hmm, is he still in the Ten Thousand Dao Tree?"
"Yes." Ji Zixuan nodded obediently.
"Alright, I understand." Liu Tianning nodded.
Then he addressed a middle-aged man with an honest appearance beside him, "Ren Jiu, make a trip to the Wandao Array Formation Department. If the day after tomorrow my disciple is still meditating, do not disturb him."
"Yes, Dean." Ren Jiu was a third-grade Mechanism Master.
Although the Ten Thousand Dao Tree opens for just one month, Zhao Xing can meditate for as long as he wishes.
After all, he is Liu Tianning’s disciple, isn’t he?
Since the situation is being handled more smoothly than expected, Liu Tianning did not immediately call Zhao Xing out.
He now can easily let treasures wait, rather than having Zhao Xing come out to wait for treasures.
...
On July 10th, the barrier of the Ten Thousand Dao Tree reopened, and most people were teleported out.
Only a few esteemed guests, as well as key talents and powerful figures from Shangluo Academy, remained inside to meditate.
Zhao Xing was among them.
Three Lights Divine Water True Intent, Cangwu True Intent, Sun Geng Metal True Intent.
He was now comprehending the fourth true intent—Li Fire True Intent.
"Li Fire’s Way, which I encountered during the ninth rank, Master Li Fire’s dao altered the rules of heaven and earth, embedding his own dao within, replacing them."
"Over the next twenty years, I frequently used Li Fire Altar at the Li Fire Taoist School."
"That feeling was more advanced than what I’m comprehending now; it was at the level of [establishing dao to form the heaven and earth], even with spiritual energy recovery, it’s the ceiling grade in the Xuanhuang World."
"Recalling those scenes of using Li Fire Altar, I spent fifteen days and initially mastered Li Fire True Intent."
Zhao Xing patted the wisp of flame on his body.
Three days to master Three Lights Divine Water True Intent, seven days for Sun Geng Metal True Intent, five days for Cangwu True Intent, fifteen days for Li Fire True Intent.
"Now, only the Earth True Intent is left unmastered."
Actually, Zhao Xing could have broken through to the third rank from mastering the first true intent.
He, however, set high standards, choosing to pursue multiple daos instead of settling on just one.
"Hmm? It’s already July 10th; why haven’t I been teleported out yet?"
Xu Xing said it would be open for a month, from June 10th to July 10th.
But now it’s already July 10th, and he still hasn’t been teleported out by the formations.
He found a message from Lao Liu on the Earth Realm.
"Telling me not to worry, stay as long as I wish?"
Zhao Xing chuckled.
"That’s right, having fought alongside Dean Liu into Shangluo Academy, I consumed all the hardship meant for the rest of my life in that battle."
"What’s left is only enjoyment."
If we compare Shangluo Academy to a country,
Lao Liu would be the Emperor, and he, the Crown Prince!
"Hehe, hehe."
Zhao Xing laughed smugly.
During that battle, he was fully focused.
He dedicated all his energy to ensure a splendid opening for Lao Liu.
Who would have thought, the opening served as the closing too.
"Then, immerse myself in comprehending to master the last Earth True Intent."
Zhao Xing rapidly searched for an Earth True Intent that suited him.
On July 11th.
Zhao Xing found an exposed root at the base of the main trunk of the Ten Thousand Dao Tree.
The root was adorned with numerous mountain patterns.
"Spirit Mountain True Intent."
Zhao Xing had an enlightened realization.
Given the size of this root, which stretched deep underground, Zhao Xing had to use escape skills to delve and observe below.
....
July 11th to August 11th.
It took Zhao Xing a full month to master the Spirit Mountain True Intent.
Spirit Mountain True Intent wasn’t the best choice for condensing a top Taoist body initially, but anticipating future mountain technique studies, Zhao Xing was determined to master it.
Because when he has his Ten Thousand Skill Dao Body perform mountain techniques, possessing Spirit Mountain True Intent allows him to learn faster innately, with greater power.
For instance, the nine-level heavy weapon [Ten Thousand Mountains] from Kunyuan Underground Palace is a treasured possession of the Spirit Mountain Institute.
He can easily drive this gigantic divine weapon.
If he possessed a different true intent, the primordial energy cost to drive it would be much higher.
If one had not mastered Earth True Intent or possessed a relatively weak Earth True Intent, driving such a thing would be inefficient.
Before the mountain even crashes down, one would be exhausted.
"Almost there."
Zhao Xing used Teleportation and left the Ten Thousand Dao Tree, appearing on the plain outside.
