I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 364: Dao Seed Fragment
Some mysteries from Ancient Times are now difficult to uncover without understanding their background, always left to conjecture.
Fortunately, this journey was filled with surprises but no disasters.
Although in the Divine Envoy's memory, Han Zheng had gone through battles, he had come through them and even gained some life-or-death fighting experience. Was it a blessing or a curse?
"Right, I suspect the black shadow in the tomb chamber is the obsession left behind by the Divine Envoy after his death.
But what does it mean for him to give me this jade pendant and point west?"
Yan Xuankong glanced at the jade pendant and didn't notice anything amiss.
However, he guessed the Divine Envoy's intention.
"Can't you see? The Divine Envoy wants you to return this jade pendant to the place they once departed from, their homeland.
Why do you think the Divine Envoy pulled you into his memories? To me, it seems like a test.
You passed the Divine Envoy's test by traveling from their homeland to Smoke Wave Lake, where the divine are buried, which proves you're capable of making the journey back.
So he gave you this jade pendant to return it to his homeland for him."
Han Zheng, recalling the various routes within the illusion and calculating the distance based on his speed, then wryly said, "Do you know where the Divine Envoy's homeland is? If my calculations are correct, it's beyond Demon Suppression Pass, in the Northwest Wilderness, the land of a myriad of demons!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Yan Xuankong responded lightly, "Don't make a fuss. What's the big deal about the Northwest Wilderness? Don't underestimate the madmen guarding Demon Suppression Pass.
Not only are demons frequently attacking the pass, but sometimes those madmen, out of sheer boredom, even venture into the land of myriad demons themselves on hunting expeditions.
Otherwise, where do you think all those demon cores and spiritual medicines from outside the pass come from in Great Zhou?
If you get a chance to enter Demon Suppression Pass, you can naturally proceed into the Northwest Wilderness. By then, just return the jade pendant. Besides, the Divine Envoy didn't set a time limit, did he?
And he isn't letting you take this for nothing; didn't he say he gave you something?"
As Han Zheng walked along the tomb path, he asked, "Do you think Cui Zeyuan also experienced the Divine Envoy's memories?"
Yan Xuankong replied, "I don't know, but even if he did, with his skills, he would probably have died halfway and been eliminated.
Why do you think the Divine Envoy made you experience his memories? He wished to find someone capable of traveling from his homeland to Smoke Wave Lake with him.
However, the world has changed over eons; the current era isn't like his ancient one with autonomous nations and tribes, nor are there as many terrifying ancient giant beasts.
In Great Zhou, even though there are dangers and demons, as long as one sticks to the official roads, problems generally don't arise.
Not just Martial Artists from the Dan Sea Realm, but even ordinary people with some luck can travel safely.
The real difficulty lies in his homeland, which now has completely become the land of myriad demons."
Nodding, Han Zheng walked for a short while and entered a small room.
Inside the room was only one thing.
On a round column sat a stone box containing something made of a strange material.
Like stone but not stone, like wood but not wood, it was palm-sized, seemingly a fragment of an oval object.
Han Zheng, feeling a sense of familiarity with the item, suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "A fragment of the Supreme Tao Fruit!"
This item was precisely the fragment of the Supreme Tao Fruit that the Blood Wolf Thieves had snatched from the Smell Fragrance Sect in the past.
"You know about the Supreme Tao Fruit fragments?"
Yan Xuankong was immediately startled.
This item, even valuable to those at the heavenly level, should be unknown to a Demon Sweeping Captain like Han Zheng.
"Previously, the Blood Wolf Thieves seized this fragment of the Supreme Tao Fruit from the Smell Fragrance Sect and fled to Southern Mountain. My Demon Cleansing Bureau intervened, wiped out the remaining thieves, and the fragment then came into my possession."
With Yan Xuankong in such a state, there was no need for Han Zheng to keep these things from him.
After hearing the explanation, Yan Xuankong sighed in awe, "What a great destiny! Does this not mean you now have two Dao seed fragments?"
Han Zheng held the Dao seed fragment in his hand, and in an instant, it was devoured by the Taotie Furnace.
[Received special item: Dao seed fragment. Collect Dao seed fragments to complete the Dao seed and plant it within the soul to nourish it with origin power, and it can produce a Supreme Tao Fruit.]
At this moment, Han Zheng could feel that the Dao seed fragment in his mind had roughly formed a circle, although a small piece was still missing.
"Still missing a piece, are these Dao seed fragments of different sizes? The one I seized from the Blood Wolf Thieves was half, and this piece is slightly smaller, seems like a third.
What if the next one I find is even smaller? It seems like my Dao seed won't be complete."
Yan Xuankong replied, "That won't happen. As long as you can find another Dao seed fragment, you will definitely be able to piece together a complete Dao seed."
"Why?"
"Because the Dao seed is a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, condensed by origin power.
One begets two, two beget three, and three beget all things.
Conversely, three merge into two, two merge into one, and one is the origin of heaven and earth.
Thus, a Dao seed can only be divided into two or three parts. This is a law of the rules."
Speaking of which, Yan Xuankong's tone carried a hint of envy, "You really have an incredible destiny, to be able to obtain two of such treasures like the Dao seed fragments at this level.
You know, most martial artists start looking for Dao seed fragments only when they reach the Yang God Realm, because only in the Yang God Realm can one nurture a Dao seed.
When I first learned of the Dao seed, I didn't even inquire about it, because I knew how hard it was to find it.
Some martial artists keep searching from the Yang God Realm, and only when they reach the Heavenly Position are they able to collect the complete Dao seed."
Han Zheng asked, "What exactly is a Dao seed? And what kind of powers will nurturing Dao seed fragments yield? I've previously searched through some materials in the Guardian Storage of Southern Mountain, but found only fragments of information with no detailed descriptions."
Yan Xuankong pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "The Dao seed, by its origin, is a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, condensed by origin power, an innate divine object.
To put it simply, a Dao seed contains a powerful force not belonging to human warriors, something that cannot be cultivated through Martial Arts.
Nurturing a Dao seed, producing a Tao fruit, what does the Tao fruit contain? It contains the supreme divine skills, transformed from the rules of heaven and earth!
Moreover, there are no two identical Tao fruits in the world. The divine skills born from each matured Tao fruit are unique.
Although controlled by martial artists, these divine skills do not belong to Martial Arts.
There are even rumors that the Tao fruit does not originally belong to the Human Clan but was controlled by the ancient deities and demons.
Therefore, some say the Tao fruit contains the secrets to becoming a deity.
However, in my view, this is purely speculation; no one has successfully proven it.
Despite being rare, there have been strong individuals throughout history who have collected the Tao fruit and nurtured supreme divine skills. During my era, there were quite a few.
Especially Martial Saint Yu Jiu, who was said to possess six major divine skills, was extraordinarily astonishing.
But even Yu Jiu was unable to comprehend the secret to becoming a deity and take that final half step, much less anyone else.
Kid, don't think too far ahead. You just need to know that the power of divine skills is immensely strong, far surpassing Martial Skills.
Now you are equivalent to being in the Dan Sea Realm but already have two Dao seed fragments. In the future, it's almost certain that you'll be able to collect the complete Dao seed."
At that moment, Han Zheng suddenly said, "I now actually feel that this Dao seed truly is related to the secret of becoming a deity."
"Why?"
Han Zheng narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "This Divine Envoy wanted me to return the Jade Pendant to his homeland, and as a reward, he gave me this Dao seed fragment.
Clearly, this Dao seed fragment was also an incredibly precious existence in ancient times.
For a Divine Envoy who can leverage divine power, what would he consider the most precious?
It must be something related to the divine!"
