Infinite Professions

Chapter 188 - 94: The Seeker’s Path (Part 2)

Going, I must.

Not just for the life and death of Zhong Yuxiu, this direct disciple, but for my own survival and the fate of Fish Dragon Island.

When the nest overturns, how can there be intact eggs?

In the face of great calamity, who can escape?

Escape is impossible, avoidance futile.

Only fight remains!

By condensing the Dao Golden Core and refining the Demon Saber Dao Sword, I’ve depleted the high-tier resources in my possession, especially the longevity-boosting pills and Spiritual Objects, which are crucial for the pace of my cultivation. I must venture out to rob the rich and benefit the poor, replenishing my stock.

So I must go, but before I go, some preparations are necessary to avoid misfortune.

After all, the current Inland Cultivation Realm is too chaotic. Despite my confidence in being invincible at Core Formation and fearless of Nascent Soul with my Dao Golden Core and Demon Saber Dao Sword, who can guarantee that unforeseen events won’t occur, like an obnoxious Divinity Transformation old freak showing up?

I must strive to enhance my strength.

And now, the only enhancement possible is Professional Rank.

"Retain Professional Talent!"

"Retain Professional Skills!"

"Begin Professional Advancement!"

"..."

"Based on your experiences and deeds, you may choose one of the following professions to replace your current profession, Immortal."

"Profession One: Karma Fire Blade Demon (Karmic Fire Three Calamities, Slaying Zen and Killing Buddha, you have tread upon the Demon Cultivation Dao, even further refined Karma Fire Demon Soldiers, thereby you can advance to Karma Fire Blade Demon.

Through slaughter and carnage, you can refine the Demon Saber to gain vast Professional Experience, which can be consumed to refine Exclusive Professional Items, Karma Fire Three Calamities Blade, and the Karma Fire Three Calamities Blade shall never devour its master.)"

"Professional Talent: Demon Saber Unity (Blade among Demons, Demon among Blades, greatly enhancing the effects of refining Karma Fire Three Calamities, and breaking through to greatly enhance the power of Karma Fire Three Calamities, as long as the Demon Saber is indestructible, the Demon Cultivator cannot perish, if the Demon Cultivator does not die, the Demon Saber remains eternal.)"

...

"Profession Two: Sacrificial Daoist Sword Immortal (Primordial Spirit Sacrificial Dao, Sword Immortal Demon Slayer, you have entered the Sword Cultivation Dao, further forged the Sacrificial Dao Sword, thereby you can advance to Sacrificial Daoist Sword Immortal.

Through slaying demons and banishing evil, you can refine the Immortal Sword to gain vast Professional Experience, which can be consumed to refine Exclusive Professional Items, Sacrificial Demon Slaying Sword, and the Sacrificial Demon Slaying Sword can fuse with the Primordial Spirit, nurturing each other.

"Professional Talent: No Regrets (Sacrificial Demon Slaying, No Regrets, breaking through all limits to enhance the power of "Primordial Spirit Sacrificial Dao Demon-slaying Sword", and if the Primordial Spirit Sacrificial Dao Demon-slaying Sword can kill its target without perishing, then the Sacrificial Daoist Sword Immortal can be reborn from it.)"

...

"Profession Three: Seeker (Immortal seeking Dao, Battle Guardian, as an Immortal, you have not accepted the status quo, but continue forward with the spirit of "The road ahead is long; I shall seek diligently up and down," even risking cultivating Demon Skill for this, ultimately achieving the awe-inspiring Dao Golden Core, the heart of seeking Dao, witnessed by heaven and earth.

Through Immortal Martial Spirit, Alchemy and Artifact Refining, crafting talismans and arrays, Spirit Plant and Beast Taming, preaching and enlightening, and other ways related to "seeking Dao", you can gain vast Professional Experience, Immortal Martial Spirit, Hundred Skills of Cultivation, greatly enhance the cultivation effects of all Cultivation Techniques, and consume Professional Experience to refine Exclusive Professional Items—Dharma Guardian Demon Saber, Fighting Daoist Sword.)"

"Professional Talent: Iron Dao Heart (Neither Immortal nor Demon am I, but the Dao sees my true self, Demon Skill and Immortal Technique are merely means, Dao Fruit and Karma Position are the pursuits, no Immortal no Buddha, no god no demon can shake your heart of seeking Dao, immune to any pollution or assimilation on the mental level, soul snatching or control.)

...

Fourth Professional Transformation, successfully advanced.

Looking at the newly emerged three professions, Shen Hex showed a look of surprise.

Karma Fire Blade Demon, corresponding with Karma Fire Three Calamities Blade.

Sacrificial Daoist Sword Immortal, corresponding with Primordial Spirit Sacrificial Dao Sword.

Seeker, corresponding with Immortal Martial Spirit and Dao Golden Core.

These three new professions are actually formed around his latest three Dao Fruits, none associated with his previous professions.

What does this indicate?

It indicates the influence these three Dao Fruits have on the world, surpassing his previous deeds in the Inland Cultivation Realm.

But indeed reasonable, as these three Dao Fruits correspond to a Longevity Guardian that can reach Immortal Demon levels, a higher influence and level are only reasonable.

The process of generation is not important.

The important thing is how to choose?

Karma Fire Blade Demon?

Or Sacrificial Daoist Sword Immortal?

Or...

"Advancement successful!"

"New profession acquired—Seeker!"

"New talent acquired—Iron Dao Heart!"

"..."

Without hesitation, Shen Hex directly advanced to Seeker.

Although Karma Fire Blade Demon and Sacrificial Daoist Sword Immortal are quite formidable, even serving as present and future methods for breaking through, using the Demon Saber Dao Sword to cleave open the Demon Heaven Array, yet in terms of overall strength and development needs, they are still inferior to Seeker.

Seeker has three major advantages, first being able to gain Professional Experience through all methods related to cultivation and seeking Dao, with an unparalleled upgrade efficiency, unmatched by the slaughter-and-carnage focused Blade Demon Sword Immortal.

Second, it enhances the cultivation efficiency of Immortal Martial Spirit, Hundred Skills of Cultivation, and every Cultivation Method, which has immense strategic value for Shen Hex, traversing the heavens and achieving his Merit through the Ten Thousand Realms Dao.

And the ultimate talent, Iron Dao Heart, allows him to be immune to Outer Demon’s intrusion, no matter if it’s the Free Celestial Demon linked by Ten Thousand Dao Root Source Great Method or the Cosmic Evil God of the reality, or any other nonsensical entities, none can affect him at the mental level, let alone pollution, assimilation, soul snatching, or control.

This particular trait is far more significant than others; neither the immortality provided by the Demon Saber nor the resurrection by the Dao Sword can compare because it is directly tied to the real essence, allowing the essence to resist the immense danger of Evil God contamination.
