Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1318 618: Xuanhuang Dao Pattern (Part 3)

Black Pot nodded repeatedly. Here is pleasant, I do not long for the Heavenly Soldier Camp.

Chen Shi said with a smile: "You should collect some Xuanhuang Spiritual Energy, not too much, just enough for cultivation."

Yu San was extremely reluctant, as Xuanhuang Spiritual Energy is a hundred times superior to other energies. Cultivating here for one day is equivalent to cultivating a hundred days outside!

Moreover, outside, one cannot cultivate every day. There is the need to ferry boats to earn money and save enough to buy some Immortal Qi Spirit Liquid to cultivate in peace. In other words, the results of cultivating here for a day might match or surpass several years of outside cultivation!

The progress he made in these few days is equal to that of two or three decades of arduous cultivation outside!

However, the path of cultivation cannot be pursued behind closed doors. Constant seclusion will not produce a Daluo Golden Immortal. There is still a need to refine, travel, comprehend, and elevate one's vision to cross one barrier after another.

Although Yu San's current speed of cultivation seems rapid, it is also due to years of accumulation. With ample preparation, he could make a great leap with the help of Xuanhuang Spiritual Energy. Once his foundation is exhausted, even soaking in the liquid of Xuanhuang Spiritual Energy will not advance his cultivation by a fraction.

Though full of reluctance, Black Pot and Yu San had no choice but to gather some Xuanhuang Spiritual Energy each for their respective Dao Realm.

Chen Shi also took out a strand of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi and gifted it to Yu San, smiling: "These days have delayed your boat trips, this strand of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi is a small token of apology."

Yu San was both surprised and delighted, quickly declining: "This treasure is too precious, I dare not accept it! Please, take it back!"

Chen Shi laughed: "I have plenty here, just accept it."

Yu San hesitated, eager to accept yet hesitant, saying: "I have heard of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi. Every hundred days, an Immortal will take a boat to the edges of Thick Virtue Heavenly Palace to grab some Ancestor Qi. But my cultivation is too low to qualify for obtaining Ancestor Qi. Such treasures are extremely precious. I heard that when refining treasure, a slightest bit of Ancestor Qi mixed with the materials can significantly enhance the power of the magical treasure. A passenger I ferried once grabbed a little bit of Ancestor Qi and refined it into his cauldron. Once activated, the Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi manifested a world within the cauldron, greatly increasing its power."

Saying this, he was full of envy, and wondered if he was dreaming to be receiving a strand of Ancestor Qi himself.

Chen Shi was surprised, was Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi mixed with other materials for refining? He thought it was simply using Ancestor Qi to forge magical treasures, hence collecting so much of it.

"Should I return some? Nevermind, there's plenty in the well, this little isn't missing."

Chen Shi also gave Black Pot some Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi, saying: "You both wait for me at the Heaven Gate. After I bid farewell to the Lady, I will come find you."

Yu San assented and left together with Black Pot.

Chen Shi arrived at the Nine Flowers Jade Palace, seeking an audience with Emperor Houtu. Emperor Houtu was surprised and said: "Why would Your Highness want to leave? Is it because you are uncomfortable here, or has someone slighted you?"

"None of these."

Chen Shi smiled, "The Lady has treated me very well, guiding me in learning and cultivating the Eight Trigrams Dao Patterns of Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi, and imparted to me her own supreme Xuanhuang Dao Pattern. I have gained immense benefits. Others in the palace have also been very kind to me."

Emperor Houtu smiled and said: "Then why do you still wish to leave?"

"Remaining in the Ruzhu Female One Palace as Crown Prince is indeed good, but this place is too peaceful and too harmonious, while the things suppressed under the Heavenly Palace are far too terrifying."

Chen Shi said: "I wish to help relieve the Lady's burdens, yet fear becoming complacent in this sanctuary and losing the fighting spirit like the fairies in the palace. Therefore, I prefer to leave. After some honing, once sharpened, I can better share the burdens with the Lady."

Emperor Houtu was touched: "I sent a strand of my clone across the seas into the Dark Sea, unwilling to leave the people of the West Bull New Continent. But with even a trace of incense, I am willing to fight for them. Unexpectedly, this act has brought me Your Highness. Return to the Heavenly Court and focus on cultivation, I will send word to warn King Li, advising him of the stakes, so he will not trouble you."
