"Disciple understands."

Xia Mangqing nodded, and Emperor Tianxu added, "Well, go and cultivate. When you comprehend the strongest path, you will naturally be able to leave."

Having said that, the divine power avatar of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor disappeared.

"No wonder they said they would arrive within a hundred million years."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself that he didn't care too much. He had other clones outside, and he could just send one of them to Tianxu Holy City. Although he didn't have that identity token, it wouldn't have a big impact, and it would be easy to prove.

With this thought in mind, he directly entered the magical treasure cave that the Heavenly Ruins Emperor had given him.

This grotto-heaven world is not large, but it is extremely amazing. The chaotic spiritual liquid has accumulated into a lake, and a rough sense suggests that it is probably over 100 million cubic meters!

In addition, at the center of the cave stands a dark black ancient stele, inscribed with extremely mysterious marks that eventually combine to form an unparalleled path, seemingly evolving into a chaotic void, full of endless mysteries.

The Heavenly Ruins Emperor walks the strongest path of the void, and what is now presented to Xia Mangqing is the "Guidance of the Dao". This is the same as when he was at a lower level, he allowed all living beings to fully comprehend the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao between heaven and earth. However, the difference is that what he saw before him was a "Guidance of the Dao" at the level of a Holy City Lord.

The moment Xia Mangqing saw it, everything else vanished from her sight, and her mind became completely absorbed in it.

This is the Dao of a Holy City Lord, which is not only powerful but also incredibly vast and magnificent. Each trace requires Xia Mangqing to comprehend for a long time, but the gains are also enormous, allowing Xia Mangqing's understanding of the Dao of Void to continuously improve.

At the same time, Xia Mangqing created a prototype of the Void Dao. In his mind, his understanding of the peerless Void Dao techniques such as the Qilin Technique and the Gu Clan Technique was also constantly improving, gradually reaching an extreme. Then, Xia Mangqing took the essence of them and integrated it into the prototype of the Void Dao he created.

Time passed slowly, and Xia Mangqing suddenly realized something, as if he had crossed a threshold and stepped into another world. With a thought, the void was created and destroyed.

"Finally, I've figured out the most powerful path!"

Xia Mangqing gradually awoke. This was undoubtedly the strongest path, and the strongest secret technique he created from this profound path, Xia Mangqing decided to name it "Void Creation and Annihilation".

"Let's take this opportunity to establish the foundation for the Chaos Dao."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself that he had already comprehended the six directions of the Chaos Dao. Creating a foundation at his level would be simple, since his understanding of the Chaos Dao had reached the Perfect World Realm, and he had comprehended all the foundations of this Dao.

The Heart of Chaos, Yin and Yang of Chaos, Chaotic Spacetime, Chaotic Birth and Death, Chaotic Five Elements, Chaotic Reincarnation.

The Heart of Chaos focuses on cultivating the mind and is also a method of unifying the three forces. In Xia Mangqing's deduction, it should be similar to the "Heart Sword Technique". When it reaches its ultimate level, it can make the cultivator's Dao heart perfect.

To successfully merge with the Dao in the ultimate path, there are several major prerequisites, one of which is a perfected Dao heart. Although he has not yet embarked on the ultimate path, there are too many benefits to cultivating the Dao heart. Even if he fails to embark on the ultimate path in the future, if he can perfect this method to the extreme and achieve a perfected Dao heart, he will still have the opportunity to become a supreme being.

Even ordinary supreme beings have methods to break through and transform.

Chaos Yin and Yang is the strongest domain secret technique, Chaos Spacetime is the strongest escape technique, Chaos birth and death is the strongest killing technique, and Chaos Five Elements is the strongest defensive technique.

Chaos Reincarnation is the most powerful operating secret technique, capable of perfectly integrating several other methods to form a perfectly functioning system.

In fact, before the Dao is eternal, any Dao should be as pure as possible. However, the Chaos Dao naturally encompasses the true meaning of all Daos. Xia Mangqing extracted the true meaning of the heart, yin and yang, time and space, birth and death, the five elements, and reincarnation from it as the direction for creating the Dao.

In this way, although the six basic paths are still purely the path of chaos, as Xia Mangqing's understanding of other paths deepens, he can also improve the six basic paths.

"My understanding is still too shallow."

After creating the six fundamental secret techniques, Xia Mangqing couldn't help but feel helpless.

With his current level of skill, if he wants to deduce the six basic secret techniques into the six strongest paths, he needs to reach at least the World Realm level in his understanding of the six paths: Mind, Yin and Yang, Time and Space, Birth and Death, Five Elements, and Reincarnation.

"I am at the fourth or fifth level of the power of the Great Dao in these six paths." Xia Mangqing calculated in his mind that his current realm was high enough, especially since he had perfected the Chaos Dao. With the ability to draw inferences from one path to another, his understanding had been greatly enhanced.

Not to mention that he has extremely high levels of attainment in the areas of Void, Yang, and Fire, which naturally brings him some benefits. In particular, he has created the strongest path in the Void Dao.

"The mind is the hardest to grasp; everything else is simple."

Reaching the sixth level won't take long.

The reason why the mind is said to be the most difficult is because the path of the mind is the most special. The "mind" is both the Great Dao and a cultivation system.

Mental power can be seen as a kind of power of the Great Dao, but it is also the power of the flow of mental power, similar to divine power and magical power.

Moreover, Xia Mangqing takes "heart" as "one", and only by opening up the world of the heart can he truly step onto the starting point.

He was very confident in his comprehension; reaching at least the sixth level would not be difficult. However, his mental strength—he had already achieved perfection—was stuck in his final thought for tens of thousands of years, and he had not yet figured it out.

"I can't remember, let it be."

Xia Mangqing shook her head, clearing her mind of distracting thoughts.

Only then did he begin to truly examine the magical treasure cave that the Heavenly Ruins Emperor had given him.

Besides the Chaotic Spirit Liquid Lake and the ancient stele inscribed with "Guidance of the Dao," there are three thatched huts here. Inside the middle hut, there is only a portrait of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor, but it appears to be the work of a powerful being, mysterious and unfathomable.

After bowing, Xia Mangqing walked toward the thatched hut on the left.

In the thatched hut on the left, there were several sets of top-grade eternal divine weapons and several talismans, but what surprised Xia Mangqing the most was that there was also a natal divine weapon in the shape of a lotus flower!

"Top quality, perfect for me!"

Xia Mangqing's eyes lit up, but he did not intend to refine it and integrate it into his own Dao at this time.

A natal divine weapon is rare and expensive, starting at tens of millions of catties of chaotic spiritual liquid. If he could obtain one, he would naturally want to refine and fuse it with his own Dao when he has achieved success in his own Dao.

Therefore, he did not touch this natal divine weapon.

"This palace is quite suitable for the Void Path."

Xia Mangqing picked up a palace, which was also a top-grade eternal divine weapon. It belonged to the category of suppression and sealing. Once used, it could suppress a void. Combined with Xia Mangqing's Qilin Step and the creation and destruction of the void, it could also greatly enhance his strength.

Then he walked toward the thatched hut on the right.

This thatched hut is a hidden world inside, unlike its exterior. The interior is very spacious, with several rows of bookshelves displaying jade slips. In the very center, three orbs of light hang in mid-air.

Among them were a stele, a feather, and a talisman.

They are not divine weapons, but heirlooms, carrying a legacy that can be comprehended and understood through the mind.

"The three great inheritances, 'Great Free Heaven,' 'Divine Wing Escape Technique,' and 'Dao Talisman,' are all eternal inheritances—"

Xia Mangqing exclaimed in amazement, "The Great Freedom Heaven" is the core secret technique passed down by the Heavenly Ruins Emperor, and it is at the level of the Lord of the Holy City.

The "Divine Wing Escape Technique" and "Taoist Talisman" were created by Emperor Tianxu based on his insights into escape techniques and talismanic arts, and both are at the top-tier Emperor level.

Xia Mangqing was not surprised by this. Ancient beings like the Heavenly Ruins Emperor might even possess more than one Dao at the level of a Holy City Lord, but they just failed to merge them and break through to the Dominator level.

It's not surprising that he reached the top level of Emperor in escape techniques and talismanic arts; in fact, these are probably not all of his abilities.

As for the other jade slips, Xia Mangqing briefly examined them with his mental sense. Most of them were Daoist scriptures at the Dao Lord level, mainly focusing on the void, followed by escape techniques and talismans, and finally some other Daoist scriptures.

There are tens of thousands of varieties, and their value is astonishing.

"Master probably spent hundreds of millions of cubic meters of Chaos Spirit Liquid just on this one magical treasure. It's truly a great deal to become a disciple of such a powerful being," Xia Mangqing thought to himself.

Subsequently, Xia Mangqing also selected some secret techniques from the six basic Dao directions.

After thinking for a moment, he selected another copy of the Illusionary Path Inheritance and then entered a portable cave within his body.

"Brother Qingxuan."

When the Moon-Clad Immortal saw Xia Mangqing, she quickly greeted him.

"Um."

Xia Mangqing nodded, then handed over a jade slip: "Fellow Daoist Yue Chang, I plan to stay in the Heavenly Ruins Realm for the time being. This is a illusory Dao inheritance of a fourth-step Dao Lord."

"You can comprehend this inheritance, become a Dao Lord of Life and Death on your own, and then leave the Heavenly Ruins Realm. You can also use it to exchange for the Heaven-Stealing Life and Death Pill, become a Dao Lord of Life and Death again, and leave this realm."

The Heavenly Ruins Realm is a good place. It is basically undisturbed, and there is also a divine power avatar of the Heavenly Ruins Emperor protecting it. It is very safe to cultivate here. He even thought about bringing the Three Pure Ones and other powerful beings from the Three Realms here.

After all, there are many inheritances of top experts here, and the Three Pure Ones and other experts of the Three Realms have extremely high talents and potential. In particular, the few who have now become World Realm experts basically have the potential to embark on the path of fusion with the strongest path.

Having arrived in the Heavenly Ruins Realm, they had every opportunity to take away all the opportunities and fortunes here.

Therefore, he does not plan to leave for the time being, and there are still seven avatars of his true self in the outside world, which is enough to deal with most situations. He might as well stay here and cultivate in seclusion.

The Moon-Clad Immortal gazed at the jade slip with burning desire.

But she ultimately did not accept the offer. Instead, she respectfully inquired and asked, "Brother Daoist, may I follow you?"

The fact that she could so casually produce a Four-Step Dao Lord's inheritance meant that Xia Mangqing must have gained a great deal in the Third Heavenly Ruins Realm, and might even have completed all the trials!

Of course, even without passing all the tests, such a being who could gain so much in such a short time in the third layer of the Heavenly Ruins Realm must be an unparalleled genius.

A legacy is indeed important, but the benefits of following such a being for her future path are immeasurable!

"Follow me?"

Xia Mangqing looked at the Moon Garment Immortal, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, you take this inheritance and study it. If you can become a Dao Lord of Life and Death on your own, I will agree to let you become my follower."

"If you can't do it, then leave on your own."

If a Dao Lord of Life and Death is nurtured by the Heaven-Stealing Life and Death Pill, it has no meaning to him. However, if one becomes a Dao Lord of Life and Death on his own, it is worth nurturing him carefully.

"good!"

The Moon-Clad Immortal nodded repeatedly.

On a massive chaotic star, Xia Mangqing's figure appeared. This was a spacetime array that had traversed an endless distance to bring him here.

Before him, in a chaotic void, lay a colossal city that seemed to have no boundaries. Even though it was far away, it appeared immense to him, with countless palaces and temples situated within it.

"Heavenly Ruins Holy City!"

One of the eight holy cities, like the Heavenly Wood Holy City, even in ordinary times, the number of Dao Lords of Life and Death exceeds ten thousand.

"Is this your first time visiting the Heavenly Ruins Holy City, fellow Daoist?"

"Do you have a Dao Alliance token?"

A Chaos Immortal dressed in a black robe appeared before Xia Mangqing. The aura emanating from him was very similar to that on the token Xia Mangqing had obtained from the Heavenly Ruins Emperor, indicating that he was a disciple of the Heavenly Ruins Palace.

Tianxu Palace is a power created by Emperor Tianxu, similar to Tianmu Sect in Tianmu Holy City.

In the Heavenly Ruins Holy City, the disciples of the Heavenly Ruins Palace are also a very special group. They must not be killed while wearing black robes, otherwise even a peak Dao Lord would find it very difficult to escape.

-

Xia Mangqing smiled faintly: "Fellow Daoist, I am the Palace Master's newly accepted disciple, and this is just an avatar of mine. I do not have an identity token or Dao Alliance token, but you can submit your application, and it will be verified."

The Chaos Immortal was startled and dared not be negligent, because no one would be foolish enough to use such a complete lie, and he saw that Xia Mangqing's gaze was calm and there was no sign of him lying.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist, I will report immediately."

The Chaos Immortal immediately replied.

Several hours later, a Dao Lord of Life and Death dressed in golden armor appeared here.

"Could it be Junior Brother Qingxuan?"

The visitor asked with a smile, his tone warm and friendly.

"Exactly."

Xia Mangqing nodded.

"Haha, I've heard about it before. Junior Brother Qingxuan, come with me quickly."

The golden-armored Daoist laughed loudly, and Xia Mangqing nodded, then entered the Heavenly Ruins Holy City with him.

"I heard thousands of years ago that the Palace Master had taken on a fine disciple, but I never expected to see him so soon." Amidst the void and starry sea, this Daoist Master said with a smile, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is 'Qianfeng,' and I am a disciple of Emperor Siheng of the Heavenly Ruins Palace."

"Senior Brother Qianfeng."

Xia Mangqing bowed. He had inquired about the situation in Tianxu Holy City before he came. He couldn't find out too much about it, but he could find out which emperors were on the surface.

Emperor Siheng was a top-tier emperor who had followed Emperor Tianxu for a long time, and was said to be skilled in weapon crafting.

"Well, Junior Brother, you've come at an inopportune time. The Palace Master didn't expect your clone to arrive at this time either. The Palace Master is currently busy and has gone to the Dao Alliance Immortal Palace, so he won't be here for a while."

Daoist Qianfeng said, "However, my master has already contacted the palace master and verified your identity, junior brother. So you can go home now, junior brother, without worry or restraint."

"Yes, thank you, senior brother."

Xia Mangqing smiled faintly. There were too many ways for a powerful being at the Eternal level to verify his identity, and it was equally easy to do so silently. He was not surprised at all.

"arrive."

Before long, led by Daoist Qianfeng, they arrived in front of a palace: "Junior brother, my master is inside the palace."

Daoist Qianfeng led the way, bringing Xia Mangqing inside.

The palace wasn't very large, and at the moment, only an ancient being with an unfathomable aura and a pair of wings on his back sat inside. When he saw Xia Mangqing and Daojun Qianfeng enter, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Disciple greets Master."

"This junior greets Your Majesty."

Qianfeng and Xia Mangqing respectfully inquired about the greetings.

"Qianfeng, you may step back now. I need to speak with Qingxuan."

Emperor Siheng said calmly.

"Yes."

Daoist Qianfeng agreed and then left.

Then Emperor Siheng looked at Xia Mangqing and smiled, "I've heard the Palace Master mention you, but I didn't expect to meet you so soon."
