Three Enclosures and Four Symbols

Chapter 284 Three Methods, A Choice

Chapter 1 Jiang Xuan Instructs

Jiang Xuan told Meng Tianzheng about Shi Hao, hoping that he would guide Shi Hao on the path of cultivating his body as a seed. After all, he had also set foot on this path and almost succeeded.

Although he failed, his strength should not be underestimated. If he had been born in the era of the Immortal Ancient, he might have already become an immortal.

Moreover, he had an obsession with the path of cultivating the body as a seed, hoping that a successor could truly break through and embark on this path. Shi Hao was undoubtedly the best choice.

As for Jiang Xuan, he had indeed cultivated three immortal energies and formed a Grand Dao Flower, but later he shared his strength and entered the Supreme Realm directly. At the same time, he created his own method and did not experience the Grand Dao selection of the Saint Sacrifice or Heavenly God periods.

Saying that he cultivated the Immortal Ancient method, but there was no Dao seed in his body, which was replaced by the inner world. Saying that he cultivated the present world method, but before igniting the divine fire, he did not sublimate to the extreme in other realms.

In short, his state was very special. In essence, after the Supreme Realm, he reached a state close to cultivating the body as a seed by reverse-engineering the Covering Heaven method, but the foundation was still the inner world method he had created.

Therefore, he cannot be regarded as a true cultivator of the body as a seed, but he was a pioneer. Although his Zhutian (multiverse) method was not even in its rudimentary form, it allowed him to possess invincible strength in this realm, capable of reversing and defeating true immortals, possessing unparalleled power.

At the same time, he also passed on the Covering Heaven method to Shi Hao, laying the foundation for cultivating the body as a seed. If Meng Tianzheng guides him again, Shi Hao will be much easier than in the original trajectory.

"Cultivating the body as a seed is a dead end. How can there be any certainty?" Meng Tianzheng sighed. In the past, he also had lofty ambitions, thinking of breaking the shackles of eternity and creating an supreme Grand Dao, but only after experiencing it himself did he know how difficult this path was.

Even he almost died on this path!

"Brother, this is his fate."

Jiang Xuan sighed. Shi Hao's original fate was to dominate the ages alone. He was destined to embark on an invincible path. Even if Meng Tianzheng did not guide him to embark on the path of cultivating the body as a seed, other beings would appear and guide him to embark on other invincible Grand Daos.

Meng Tianzheng was silent, looking calmly at Shi Hao, who had just defeated Lu Tuo and was full of fighting spirit and invincible aura.

He only felt that the current Shi Hao was very similar to him in the past, but whether he could truly succeed on this path was still unknown.

Not long after, Shi Hao was brought by Qi Daolin to where Jiang Xuan and Meng Tianzheng were. Shi Hao had already met Jiang Xuan, and in the dark, he felt that there was already a cause and effect between him and Jiang Xuan.

As for Meng Tianzheng, it was the first time he had met him, but he could also feel the extraordinary nature of this person. Even though he seemed amiable now, there seemed to be a true dragon lurking within him.

This was a strong man standing at the peak, overlooking the world, possessing invincible power.

"This is Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng." Jiang Xuan said to Shi Hao, and Shi Hao quickly bowed and waited quietly on the side.

"You are already at the Saint Sacrifice realm, and one step further, you will be a Heavenly God, but before that, you must also make a choice and choose the method you want to cultivate." Jiang Xuan said to Shi Hao. The time for the academy disciples to make a choice was not far away. After that, only those who remained in the Heaven Mending Academy would be able to receive his guidance and cultivate the Dao and methods of other worlds.

"Please give me guidance, Senior." Shi Hao bowed.

Jiang Xuan nodded and then said, "In today's cultivation, Dao and method are divided into two categories, one is the Immortal Ancient method, and the other is the present world method."

"The Immortal Ancient method is very different from our cultivation system. If you want to learn it, you naturally need to master their language and writing. Otherwise, some spells, Dao techniques, etc. cannot be used at all. Moreover, the world has changed today, and the Grand Dao is not as good as in the Immortal Ancient times. It is not easy to cultivate this path..."

"The present world method is transcendence, making extreme breakthroughs in every realm, surpassing the past, reaching the peak, and taking it to the next level to enter another world..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan also looked at Shi Hao and said, "You reached this step in the Cave Heaven Realm. The fusion of the ten heavenly passages is indeed amazing. If you can go further, even if you don't cultivate immortal energy, you will not be inferior to any evildoer."

Shi Hao suddenly understood that the present world method and the Immortal Ancient method are very different. The present world method focuses on transcendence, hoping to sublimate to the extreme and break through the extreme realm in every realm to reach an extraordinary realm.

The Immortal Ancient method is different. If you want to cultivate the ancient method in this world, you must first learn the words of that era, and there are as many as a million true Immortal Ancient characters, as vast as a galaxy.

These characters are the foundation of the Immortal Ancient method. All kinds of Dao techniques and spells need to be described in the language of the Grand Dao, so there are various obscure and difficult-to-understand characters that are close to the most fundamental Dao!

Each character has a kind of profound meaning, explaining some rules and principles, and finally condensed into a single character. Of course, if the understanding is deep enough, the million profound meaning characters can be turned into a hundred characters to explain the principles of heaven and earth.

Now Jiang Xuan also has an incarnation comprehending the Immortal Ancient method. Although the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are not suitable for cultivating the ancient method, it is different in the Immortal Domain. Now that the comprehension is deep enough, it will also benefit the incarnation in the future when entering the Immortal Domain.

"Normally speaking, the academy disciples must choose between these two methods. After all, human power has its limits, and the borderlands have already changed. We don't have time for you to waste." Jiang Xuan said to Shi Hao, which also tells him what to choose.

The Immortal Ancient method and the present world method must be chosen as the foundation for future cultivation.

"Of course, in the academy, there is also a third choice, which is the future method, which is also the method created by this venerable..." Jiang Xuan said to Shi Hao, "The five great secret realms you are cultivating are a part of the future method."

Shi Hao was stunned. He naturally knew the power of the five great secret realms, especially the ancient scriptures in his mind, which explained the secrets of the Grand Dao and pointed directly to the peak. However, Jiang Xuan said that this was the cultivation method he created, and it was only a part of it!

"So, Senior is the one who passed on this method to me." Shi Hao sighed. In the past, Liu Shen (Willow Deity) had told him not to tell others about the secret realm cultivation, but he did not tell him who taught it. Now he finally knew.

Jiang Xuan just smiled faintly. This was originally the method that Shi Hao created himself. What he is doing now is just reversing the order of cause and effect, wanting to see what will happen in the future.

"It is difficult to say which of these three methods is weak or strong. Don't think that the ancient method can make people become immortals and must be peerless and invincible, and don't think that the present world method is the most suitable for cultivation in this world. As for the future method I created, it is not invincible, but no matter which one it is, as long as you can continue to walk, you will gain a lot and will not be weaker than those who cultivate immortal energy."

Jiang Xuan continued, while also giving a choice: "You also have to choose among these three methods."

Shi Hao was silent. He himself cultivated three immortal energies, and also cultivated a unique Cave Heaven when in the Cave Heaven Realm. Moreover, he cultivated the five great secret realms, so it can be said that no matter which method he cultivates, he will have no small achievements.

It's just that, indeed, as Jiang Xuan said, human power has its limits, and it is already very difficult for creatures of their realm to comprehend one of the Dao and the method.

"I choose the Immortal Ancient method." However, Shi Hao quickly made a choice. "There is no reason to give up halfway. I have already cultivated immortal energy, so I always have to appreciate the scenery at the top of the mountain."

Moreover, he obtained the inheritance of the five strongest Emperor Scriptures. If he wants to cultivate the Covering Heaven method, he can also comprehend and explore it himself. As for the present world method, this is originally a path that is not yet complete, implying transcendence on the basis of the ancient method. He feels that comprehending the ancient method first can also make him better at achieving transcendence.

Jiang Xuan did not stop him, and this was what he hoped for. The path of cultivating the body as a seed was originally an idea derived from the Immortal Ancient method, but countless years have passed, and no one has succeeded.

"To cultivate the Immortal Ancient method, you must start with the characters. There is a White Jade Mountain in the academy, engraved with millions of Immortal Ancient characters, which will be opened in a while. At that time, you can go and comprehend it yourself."

Jiang Xuan said that the White Jade Mountain is a jade mountain left over from the Immortal Ancient Era. Its only function is to help people comprehend ancient characters, but the most core part has been cut off.

"Yes." Shi Hao replied.

"In addition, there is a condition for choosing to cultivate the Immortal Ancient method. You must choose an immortal seed to evolve with yourself. The more extraordinary the seed, the greater the achievement when you combine the Dao!"

After a short pause, Jiang Xuan added again: "In a while, the elders will lead you to the Boundary Tomb. If you have a chance, you may be able to get an supreme ancient seed..."

"Of course, what I most hope you will take is actually another path. That is the experience and wisdom of the Immortal Ancient predecessors, opening up another path, wanting to create an invincible path without borrowing an ancient seed."

As early as the Immortal Ancient times, Shi Hao used the fire of myriad Daos to burn himself and refine immortal energy. At that time, he was already considered to have embarked on the path of cultivating the body as a seed, so he said that this was fate. Even if Shi Hao wanted to avoid it, he was destined to embark on this path in the future.

Shi Hao's eyes shone brightly. He had an invincible heart and was not weaker than anyone. He wanted to achieve invincibility in the realm he could reach. This was indeed the case before, and he had cultivated to the extreme in each realm.

He would naturally do so in the future, and now he was very interested when he heard what Jiang Xuan said and wanted to understand the specifics.

"In this world, invincible treasure seeds have been rare from ancient times to the present. Even if a few can be found, they are deliberately sealed and left by the pioneers of the previous era, and it is almost impossible to obtain them."

"It is precisely for this reason that the ancient sages opened up another path, taking themselves as seeds, sacrificing and refining the true self, so that even without an invincible ancient seed, they can have supreme combat power." This time, it was the words of Grand Elder Meng Tianzheng.

Obviously, his experience on this path was much more than Jiang Xuan's. If Jiang Xuan was to teach Shi Hao to take this path, it would undoubtedly be misleading, and only Meng Tianzheng, who had also taken this path, had enough experience to guide him.

Shi Hao was shocked. This idea was amazing, taking himself as the Dao seed, not relying on external objects at all, directly achieving Dao with the flesh, unifying the primordial spirit, and evolving the true self.

But he does not understand how this method can succeed now. He had never understood it before, and he only learned about the differences between the various methods today.

"Did anyone succeed in the Immortal Ancient Era?" Shi Hao asked. Jiang Xuan praised this method so much, there must be a reason, so he asked to know the specific situation.

"They all failed, or became useless, or refined themselves to death." The grand elder responded calmly. He was a failure, lucky not to die, but also suffered heavy damage.

After all, according to the currently known situation, this is a broken road. Even in the Immortal Ancient era when talents emerged in large numbers and stars shone brightly, those peerless heroes died on the road and fell halfway.

Even if Jiang Xuan and Meng Tianzheng did not say it, he could clearly feel the danger, but he did not understand why Jiang Xuan strongly promoted it and specifically emphasized that he wanted him to cultivate this path?

Jiang Xuan seemed to see his doubts, but did not explain. Cultivating the body as a seed was the predecessor of the Covering Heaven method, but the requirements of this path were too high. Since the creation of the Immortal Ancient method, only Shi Hao has succeeded, so one can imagine the difficulty.

"In ancient times, how many supreme seeds could be found? They can be counted from ancient times to the present. Occasionally, an outstanding genius reaches that step. Without the fusion of Dao seeds, unwilling to be ordinary, they can only take a broken road." The grand elder seemed to see through Shi Hao's thoughts and could not help but sigh.

He was like this in the past. As for this world, there are indeed still a few supreme ancient seeds scattered outside, but there are terrifying creatures guarding them, such as the Myriad Dao Tree, which is guarded by an immortal creature.

"How to choose, you should consider it carefully later, and don't have to worry about my opinion, just follow your heart." Jiang Xuan said, actually he had already forced Shi Hao to make a choice. There were too few supreme ancient seeds in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, unless Jiang Xuan personally took action and snatched the Myriad Dao Tree and the Celestial Seed from the Boundary Tomb.

Otherwise, Shi Hao would only have two choices: one, choose an ancient seed that is one level lower, and two, take this broken road.

Shi Hao pondered, Jiang Xuan and Meng Tianzheng did not hide anything from him and told him the truth. This was indeed an extremely dangerous road, but he also understood that Jiang Xuan would not guide him to a dead end and must have some certainty.

"I want to take this road!"

Finally, Shi Hao made a decision, his eyes firm.

He had seen a corner of the truth. In the tragic war in the Immortal Ancient times, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths side was defeated. Even with the supreme Dao seeds, it was still very tragic. The Ten Ferocious died in battle, and the Immortal Kings were wrapped in corpses. Continuing the ancient road may just reproduce the tragic situation of the past. What he wanted to do was to transcend!

Therefore, no matter how difficult this road is, he will set foot on it.

When Meng Tianzheng heard this, his face glowed, and there was appreciation in his eyes. He said, "Good, if there is no road, we will create one to surpass the ancients!"

He was a loser on this road, but he sincerely hoped that someone could succeed, create a bright and clear world, and achieve the goal he had not achieved in the past.

"Since that's the case, you will follow the grand elder to cultivate in the future." Jiang Xuan finally decided that although cultivating the body as a seed was a broken road, with the accumulation of wisdom from predecessors generation after generation, there would naturally be many ways to verify the Grand Dao of cultivating the body as a seed.

Previously, Meng Tianzheng had been constantly summarizing, gathering all kinds of understandings and real experiences of cultivating the body as a seed, and then invited the supreme beings of the Nine Heavens to comprehend together, and had already made some progress.

……

After that, Meng Tianzheng also began to guide Shi Hao's cultivation. Cultivating the body as a seed required many preparations and was divided into stages. The first difficulty Shi Hao had to face now was in the Heavenly God realm. The preparations being made now were only the first step on this road.

Time flew by, and more and more enchanting creatures in the world were breaking through. Perfect and flawless ancient seeds such as the World Tree, Hongmeng Purple Qi Seed, Seed of Life, and Yin Yang Seed appeared in the world, being refined by creatures and becoming Dao seeds.

Those creatures also became Heavenly Gods because of this, and their combat power shocked the world. Few people in this world could be their enemies, but the Heaven Mending Academy was still calm. Since some peerless evildoers were taken away by the Immortal Academy and the Saint Academy, the Heaven Mending Academy had also become silent, as if it had declined.

However, one day, in a strange ancient land in the Nine Heavens, a strange seed broke open, cracking a gap, and the light from the outside shone in, and the rich essence of the great world also rushed in.

At the same time, a figure escaped from it, transforming into its original form in an instant. It was Shi Hao, who had been missing for a long time.

Not long after he appeared, Meng Tianzheng also appeared. He looked at Shi Hao, who had broken through, and was now unable to maintain his usual composure. His voice was trembling, and he was very excited.

He could see that Shi Hao had succeeded. He had also set foot on this path, and even if he had failed in the end, no one in this world knew this path better than him. The current Shi Hao was in a truly successful state!

This made him also excited. The current Nine Heavens can be described as extremely splendid, because talents are emerging in large numbers, geniuses are rising, and many brilliant figures have appeared, successively merging with perfect seeds, which can be described as shocking the past and present, and they all exude monstrous visions that shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

But now, a creature who has successfully cultivated his body as a seed has appeared, destined to transcend above, surpass all the evildoers of this era, and even surpass the sages of the past and present, standing before all the ages!

He saw hope in Shi Hao, the hope of defeating the foreign land, naturally surprised, naturally excited!
