Exploring Immortality Cultivation

"Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture," which allows the use of any spell under the sky, regardless of its category, function, or school of thought—of course, this includes the ability to use modern spells in theory as well, but it requires the cultivator to understand their principles.

This law contains the Innate Five Taos, five great paths. Wang Qi had not considered this aspect before, but upon careful thought, he could understand what the Innate Five Taos truly were.

Five forms of material existence.

Mass is the amount of matter, energy represents the capability of matter to move, spiritual energy is the exponent of energy, information is the probability of matter.

The Innate Five Taos could be energy, information, spiritual energy—they are everything!

And before, when Hu Buxue was directly confronting him, and Zhen Chan recognized the Innate Destiny Killing Dao, it allowed Wang Qi to catch a glimpse of the rationale behind the Innate Five Elements.

The Innate Five Elements are forms of entropy increase.

Death is the decline of living systems, Doomsday is the chaos of ecological systems, war is the collapse of social systems, and the breakdown of ritual and music represents the end of civilization systems.

Therefore, it is easy to understand the corresponding Innate Five Virtues—the five processes of entropy reduction, the five methods of establishing order.

With the Five Elements and Five Virtues combined, entropy increase and reduction converge as one, similar to the Holy Light skill combined with the Life Burning Skill that Wang Qi had used before.

The combination of the Five Taos and Five Virtues represents the natural process of entropy reduction—it is true life.

The combination of the Five Taos and Five Elements is like a burning flame.

So, how exactly is order established?

Wang Qi then thought of the Divine Tao.

Establishing a human-made order is to establish religions and doctrines.

Zhao Qingfeng exclaimed, "You actually managed to break through the puzzle and trace back to innate wisdom to this extent?"

Although I'm not sure if my scientific thinking counts as innate wisdom, I really feel like my thought process is quite different from yours...

Wang Qi mused inwardly. Zhao Qingfeng looked at Wang Qi and noticed the faint alienation in his demeanor, yet he felt even more strongly that this guy was truly his comrade.

Not believing in others, only in oneself as the sole immortal.

This is the quality that a Righteous Skill Daoist Longevity Guest should possess!

Zhao Qingfeng spoke up: "Your thoughts are not wrong—at least I think that the Divine Tao is definitely related to Innate Saintly Virtue and Innate Morality. A minority also touches upon Innate Merit and Innate Favor."

Wang Qi bowed respectfully for guidance: "I would like to hear more about this."

"Religion, religion, mostly holds the merit of teachings. Orthodox great sects once led a trend of their time, their doctrines and precepts became the ethical norms of today. Even though their Daoist lineages have perished, their blessings have remained. This is Dao Morality."

"The great sects also once gathered the human clan's great strength, forming a protective peace. This is Holy Virtue,"

"The acts of cults are actually not much different from ancient religious sects, they are simply not in line with the current era. Today the Immortal Alliance exists in the world, and the commoners live in peace..."

Wang Qi nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, it was just as he had speculated. The Innate Five Virtues are five methods to establish order.

But how exactly do these Five Virtues transform from an intangible "system" into actual, tangible power?

This indeed could be the breakthrough point.

Wang Qi then asked, "Brother Zhao, do you have a Cultivation Technique of the Innate Five Virtues?"

"People always say that Divine Tao Skill harms the world to elevate one person's Ascension, and after that person's Ascension, they sever ties with their Believers, which is extremely unwise, considered a low-class method. However, that's just riffraff Divine Tao, like the Zen of a wild fox, nothing substantial. The real Divine Tao is all based on the Five Elements," Zhao Qingfeng avoided the question and said, "Wang Qi, do you know about the Holy Infant Sect?"

Bullshit... Wang Qi complained in his heart, but he kept a neutral expression and said, "I've heard a little."

"The Holy Infant God, or the Yahweh Holy Infant of Ten Heavens, is actually a very powerful Divine Spirit Cultivator who created his own Divine Spirit Cultivation Method, and it even secretly aligns with the Dao Morality, Holy Virtue, and Merit—already a shocking and unconventional Cultivation Technique—It's just a pity that he is not aware of it."

"But, Jidou, the Holy Infant Great Sect Master, is an even more terrifying character. When the Holy Infant's Ascension was imminent, he took advantage of the Holy Infant's trust, murdered him, transformed the Holy Infant Sect, and completed the attributes of Favor and Yin Morality, making it all-inclusive with the Five Virtues. However, this change also severed the path to Immortal Heaven, the route of Ascension, turning what was originally Divine Tao into an unequivocal Heterodox practice!"

"The Holy Infant Sect's Cultivation Technique is actually all-inclusive with the Five Virtues?" Wang Qi and Zhen Chan simultaneously cried out in shock. Only Zhen Chan was roaring within Wang Qi's Spiritual Sense, unnoticed by Zhao Qingfeng's Spell.

Zhen Chan found it hard to accept this reality. Luofu Xuanqing Palace had struggled for thousands of years with Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao just for the unity of the Five Virtues and Five Taos. They never thought that there was another set of Innate Five Virtues Cultivation Technique in existence!

At this moment, Zhen Chan was truly devastated.

Wang Qi feigned a headache, rubbing his temples to ease the dizziness. He asked, "Brother Zhao, is there perhaps a simpler Cultivation Method related to the Five Virtues?"

The original Divine Spirit Cultivation Method of Yahweh Holy Infant God is no longer verifiable, and both the Three Wei Mengdu Praise, as a Witch Cultivation Technique, and the Original Dao Salvation Song, as a Divine Son Cultivation Method, are overly complex. Moreover, the Divine Tao Cultivation Method differs greatly from both Modern and Ancient Righteous Skills, making it difficult to decipher due to the different Qi Fields.

Theoretically, all Ancient Method Cultivation Methods should reveal the Great Dao after advancing to the status of Immortal. However, there's always a distinction between the strong and the weak. Some unknown Ancient Methods, like those of Hu Buxue, manifest the intent of the Innate Destiny Killing Dao before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, while core Cultivation Techniques of Luofu Xuanqing Palace and Emperor's Extreme Heaven Splitting Dao are assuredly one of the Five Virtues and Five Taos upon Immortal Ascension. Some Cultivation Methods greatly diverge from the Great Dao and require considerable effort to discover, presenting various difficulties to be unraveled.

An uncomplicated Ancient Method that is essentially close to the Five Virtues but isn't Divine Tao—this is what Wang Qi currently needs the most. Zhen Chan, although knowledgeable about many Ancient Methods, didn't know which of the Forty-Nine Paths they later corresponded to.

Zhao Qingfeng said, "One condition. The new Cultivation Technique you create must be shared with us for joint study."

Wang Qi nodded, "Deal."

It was perfect; the New Divine Tao still needed more test subjects.

Zhao Qingfeng took out about twenty Jade Slips from his Storage Bag and tossed them to Wang Qi. Wang Qi expressed his surprise, "So many?"

"The Holy Infant Sect had once waged wars on heresies, destroyed witchcraft, demolished temples, to wipe out the old gods and establish an Earthly Divine Kingdom among the Human Cultivators. However, there were wise people in the Holy Infant Sect who preserved these Ancient Methods. The one hundred and eight thousand Daoist Skills were refined into one, called 'Immortal Dao Burning Book List.' The Immortal Alliance debated on the destruction of gods and the abolition of the Holy Infant Sect, and this treasure consequently came to light," Zhao Qingfeng had already closed his eyes again, signaling the end of their meeting.

"Immortal Dao Burning Book List... Is this treasure a special Jade Slip?" On the way home, Wang Qi scratched his head, "Did he come across it through the Immortal Alliance, or was it another Opportunity?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Qi temporarily let go of this question. The Ancient Methods mostly had value for him in terms of reference; the encyclopedia-like list was of little use to him. He relayed the contents of the Jade Slips to Zhen Chan, "Old man, take a look. Are there any gaps in the Cultivation Techniques that guy gave?"

"I, old fellow… I￥#%#￥#@%￥&..." Zhen Chan lost his composure and cursed through the breach in Wang Qi's spiritual force.

Most of these Cultivation Techniques were known to him; Luofu Xuanqing Palace had compiled them! Yet, nobody realized that these Cultivation Techniques, which weren't Advanced, were essentially so close to the Innate Five Virtues!

If only they had known sooner...

Wang Qi temporarily blocked out Zhen Chan's voice and continued on his way. As he reached the entrance to Chen Feng's courtyard, he saw Li Zhengguo approaching him with a peculiar look on his face.

"Senior Brother Li, is there something you need?"

Li Zhengguo asked, "Wang Qi, we've sorted that box of Innate Divine Seals for you. It's just that there are three we're really not sure about."

"Uncertain?" Wang Qi queried.

"Did you really get them from the Divine Capital Nobles?"

Wang Qi nodded, "Yes."

"That's impossible..." Li Zhengguo doubted, "Surely nobody would be foolish enough… not to recognize the Dragon Clan Innate Divine Seal, right?" (To be continued.
