The First Emperor of the Primordial Era: Shrouding the Heavens

Chapter 10 The Secret of Mending the Sky

"What?"

"Immortal?"

"are you sure?"

Xu Que looked incredulous. He had spent thousands of years in the Patching Heaven Path, and it could be said that no one understood the Patching Heaven Path better than him.

That was merely a lineage that inherited the teachings of a sage, and the scriptures left behind by the sage were incomplete.

This lineage, with fewer than a hundred members, had actually produced immortals, and even beings above immortals. This was something he couldn't believe, and didn't want to believe.

Time is the most merciless thing. No matter how glorious the past was, it will eventually become a legend and disappear under the erosion of time!

Jiang Ling sighed, then continued, "That's all in the past. The core inheritance of the Heaven-Mending Path was severed in the early days of the Mythical Era. To restore its former glory, the only way is to enter the Immortal Realm and find the successor of the Heaven-Mending Path there!"

"With your talent, you might very well have the opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm with me in the future!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ling pointed her finger, and countless scriptures evolved from Dao symbols surged toward Xu Que.

"This is……"

"It's actually a Taoist scripture, and only half of it! No, it also includes the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Technique!"

Xu Que was shocked. The moment the scriptures flooded his mind, he knew the origin of the two scriptures.

There's no other reason than that these two scriptures are too famous, and are known as the mother scriptures of the human race.

Even though he had never practiced cultivation, he still recognized him.

He had come into contact with some incomplete parts of these two scriptures because they existed in the outside world.

However, the incomplete scriptures circulating outside the world are only of reference value and cannot be directly practiced.

"This...is far too valuable!"

Xu Que was shocked and somewhat at a loss. Whether it was the Moral Celestial Venerable or the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable, the lineage they established is still a behemoth in the universe.

If they find out that someone from the outside world has obtained their family's inheritance, they will definitely come knocking on their door.

With its current foundation, the Heavenly Dao is simply no match for those two great Dao lineages.

As if sensing Xu Que's worries, Jiang Ling spoke up:

"With your talent, you can draw upon these two scriptures to create your own immortal scriptures. Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die. Relying on these two scriptures to reach the highest realm is simply impossible!"

When he asked Xu Que to modify these two scriptures, he hadn't considered that neither the Dao Scripture nor the Tribulation Crossing Heavenly Technique were complete. Relying on these two scriptures to reach the peak of Quasi-Venerable would be an extremely difficult task.

Xu Que's talent was not bad. In an era when cultivation was difficult due to the suppression of the Emperor's Great Dao, he relied on incomplete sage scriptures and cultivated for more than two thousand years to become a sage. This was much stronger than many of the geniuses of the time.

All he lacks is the scripture for cultivation. If he had a complete Supreme Scripture, he could make further progress in the future.

Jiang Ling passed on the Daoist scriptures and the Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Technique he had obtained to him, hoping that he could go further and forge his own path.

As for why his scriptures were not passed on to him, it was because he needed to re-examine the scriptures he had created.

The scripture created by Jiang Ling is called the Myriad Paths Scripture. It was created by him by combining the Daoist scriptures and various incomplete scriptures with his own innate Daoist physique.

As its name suggests, the Scripture of Ten Thousand Paths is a work that elucidates the mysteries of the myriad paths.

However, this is too difficult. Even Jiang Ling, who possesses an innate Dao body, would not dare to say that he can expound on the mysteries of the myriad Daos.

This passage still has a great deal of room for exploration and requires a lot of time to settle.

Thank you!

After receiving the two immortal scriptures, Xu Que, knowing Jiang Ling's thoughts, expressed his gratitude.

"There's no need for that; we are fellow disciples!"

Jiang Ling shook his head. The karma between him and the Heaven-Mending Dao was too great. Without the Heaven-Mending Dao, he would have long since become food for ferocious beasts.

"You can find suitable successors within the church to pass on these two scriptures; I believe they can help some truly gifted individuals!"

Finally, Jiang Ling spoke to Xu Que and then took out a small bronze bell.

"These are the spoils of war I acquired in the past. Although they are only a quasi-Venerable Dao Weapon, they are more than enough for you now!"

As she spoke, Jiang Ling threw the bronze bell at Xu Que, causing him to scramble to catch it.

"Quasi-Quasi-Venerable Dao Soldier!"

Xu Que was thrilled as he caught the small bronze bell.

"I hope you will carry forward and promote the Dao of Mending Heaven!"

Regardless of Xu Que's reaction, Jiang Ling turned and left, as he needed to sort out his scriptures.

Watching Jiang Ling leave, Xu Que instantly calmed down. Their identities in the mortal realm were different. As Jiang Ling's lineage and sect, even if he was only a Saint at present, he could still treat him as an equal, even if he was a Quasi-Venerable.

All of this was brought about by Jiang Ling's attainment of the Dao and becoming an emperor.

However, Xu Que was well aware that to enjoy the corresponding status, one must have the corresponding strength.

The current prosperity of the Heaven-Mending Path is merely a castle in the air; if no truly powerful figures emerge, it is destined to decline again in the future.

Behind the Heaven-Mending Path, Jiang Ling sat silently by the lake, countless Dao symbols appearing around her, and golden lotuses blooming in the void.

Sweet dew falls from the sky, and golden lotuses spring up from the earth; this is nothing more than that.

The Daoist sounds emanating from his body were like the roars of three thousand gods and demons and the chanting of countless gods and Buddhas.

One by one, the Great Dao runes rearranged, and the five secret realms emitted a dazzling light.

Within the Sea of ​​Wheels, black and white mystical light of life and death spun continuously, and countless divine springs poured into the nascent seed of the universe.

He wants to complete this Dao Seed, hoping to use it to evolve a real universe and thus analyze the rules of all Dao.

To master all paths, one must first understand their essence, then subdue them, and finally transcend them completely.

The Great Dao is boundless, and every Great Dao can lead to the highest realm. To completely master all the Daos and transcend them is something even a Celestial King would find difficult to achieve.

Jiang Ling's path is to forge all paths to achieve self-realization, using all paths as resources to nurture the strongest Great Dao, which will ultimately govern all paths.

This approach, though seemingly difficult, is actually not simple at all.

In other words, he has an innate Dao body, is close to the Dao innately, and is favored by the Great Dao, making it easier for him to cultivate the Dao than ordinary people.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to master all the rules.

Throughout history, only the Chaos Body has been able to evolve and destroy all paths.

Of course, all paths can also evolve into a chaotic body, but this is a hundred times more difficult than nurturing the Hundred Scriptures to transform the original chaotic body.

Because apart from extraordinary trees like the Tree of Ten Thousand Paths and the World Tree, no person or thing can bear the myriad paths.

Countless strange phenomena gathered in the back mountain of the Patching Heaven Sect. The great sect leaders who had not yet left and the newly joined disciples of the Patching Heaven Sect all came to the back mountain and built huts to live in.

The extraordinary phenomenon that occurs when an enlightened being comprehends the Dao at close range is an opportunity that only comes once in ten thousand years.

If they can glean even a sliver of the profound mystery of the Great Dao from this, their future cultivation will be much smoother.

On the lakeside, Jiang Ling started by sitting cross-legged, but later stood up, stretched out her legs and arms, and began to manifest a terrifying Tao and Dharma.

His hands traced inexplicable trajectories, accompanied by deafening wind and thunder, as if he were creating the world.

The moment this secret technique was unleashed, the heavens and earth trembled, as if some unknown creature was wailing, and all the myriad paths of the heavens bowed down beneath its feet.

He decomposed and unfolded each rune, refining his own techniques and comprehending his own Dao, all in preparation for creating an even more terrifying grand art.

Jiang Ling's movements became slower and slower, but also more and more intricate, with complex trajectories. Although the speed was slow, it was dazzling and difficult to keep up with.

It was a pulse of the Dao, a vibrant energy, and an unfathomable depth, all contained in the movement of his hands.

"Boom!"

With a slight increase in force and pace, he smashed the sky, causing it to shatter and the silver moon hanging in the sky to tremble, almost falling down.

The aura emanating from it caused the leaders of the great sects who wanted to observe it up close to cough up blood and become weak and listless.

"retreat!"

At Xu Que's command, many people fled for their lives.

They knew very well that it was a vision brought about by Jiang Ling evolving and completing her own scriptures.

After attaining enlightenment, those who have achieved enlightenment will reflect on and review all that they have learned and practiced in the past.

Because they have attained enlightenment and stand at a higher level, the scenery they see is very different from what they saw before.

The same applies to their understanding of the Dao. Before attaining enlightenment, they were merely cultivators struggling in the mortal world.

But after attaining enlightenment, it's a completely different world.

Not only does their lifespan increase dramatically, but they also possess the ultimate power of humanity, and going further, they can glimpse the path of immortality.

At this point, they are fundamentally different from those before they attained enlightenment; they are not comparable at all.

"What incredible power this is! It's simply unbelievable; just the aura it emits is so overwhelming!"

"If the First Emperor harbors murderous intent, we will likely be blown to pieces in an instant!"

Everyone stared in horror at Jiang Ling by the lake, their faces filled with astonishment.

Jiang Ling was unaware of the shock of outsiders. He felt as if he were swimming in an ocean of Dao, with countless symbols of the Great Dao constantly evolving.

He could easily wield various secret techniques, analyze them, and then recombine the runes to create even more profound secret techniques.

His entire demeanor changed, as if a true immortal had descended to earth, and an indescribable aura emanated from him.

It was as if he were the supreme ruler, indifferent to joy or sorrow, looking down upon the passing years.
