Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 469 - 455 Immortal Sect

Half a day later.

Alkaid felt the two top-notch Dao Artifacts that were still thriving and let out a slight sigh of relief.

"They are unharmed."

Among the two Dao Artifacts, the Human Emperor Sword needed to be handed over to the Penglai Dao Lord!

The strongest combat force on his side.

In the future, he would need to rely on its power to combat the tribulations of humanity as he aimed to reach the "Integrate Dao" realm.

As for the other Dao Artifact, the Endless Tower…

There was even less to say.

He would merge it into his body, replacing the Lifebound Daoist Artifact of the current Cave Heaven Physique.

After confirming that the two top-notch Dao Artifacts were unharmed, Alkaid then turned his attention to the ancient tree in the Spiritual World, which shimmered with glaze-like precious light.

Looking at the energy accumulated on the branches of "Demon Hunter," Alkaid smiled faintly.

A Dao Lord!

The intensity of this energy was a significant step beyond that of a Divine Emperor.

His gaze lingered on the branches of "Artifact Refining" for a moment, but he still chose to inject all the energy without hesitation into the branches of "Integrate Dao - Void."

He was about to challenge the realm of "Integrate Dao," and the more his realm increased at this time, the more it would help him successfully integrate Dao.

As this energy infused, the branch representing "Integrate Dao - Void" began to grow rapidly,

The branch seemed to pierce through the top layer of mist in the canopy, allowing him to truly "see" the world surrounded by that mist.

Although he couldn't directly see the scene hidden in the mist at the canopy, the branches that had grown into it still provided him with a wealth of information.

Cultivation techniques.

Immortal Techniques.

Experiences and insights into Integrating Dao.

Deeper understanding of higher levels of the Integrate Dao realm.

All kinds of information constantly flowed in his mind.

Among these, the experiences and insights into the Integrate Dao realm made him frown.

"They all are about the cultivation experiences after integrating Dao, but what exactly is the process of integrating Dao? There's no technique or information that explains it clearly."

He paused, "Perhaps… even the cultivators themselves don't know how they managed to withstand 'Dao Transformation'?"

This feeling of having no experience to refer to made him insecure.

"I will first proceed on the Human Immortal Path, relying on the three top-notch Dao Artifacts that carry essence, spirit, and strength from the Human Immortal Path. Compared to other paths of integrating Dao, I possess stronger risk resistance; even if I truly face Dao Transformation, I should at least be able to withdraw."

Alkaid pondered, shifting his thoughts back to the cultivation of the Human Immortal Path.

Cultivating the Human Immortal Path…

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

Meant continuously enhancing and elevating his essence, spirit, and strength, or, in other words, continuously enhancing and elevating the quality of the three top-notch Dao Artifacts, so he could manipulate more of the Great Dao's power.

It was starkly different from the paths of Ghost Immortal, Earth Immortal, Deity, and Heavenly Immortal.

"Among these pieces of information, there is indeed an objective description of the five types of immortals. Among these, the pathway of the Ghost Immortal is the easiest to traverse, but unless one has significant backing, it is very hard to follow this path to its end. Therefore, they make up less than twenty percent; Deities enhance their strength by deepening their integration with the Great Dao, which is also a relatively easier growth path. However, success depends on the Dao, and failure too; some immortals with profound understanding of the Great Dao can even manipulate other Deities to serve themselves through its use… Due to this drawback, the number of Deities is also few, only around fifteen percent."

Alkaid let out a slight breath.

Earth Immortals and Human Immortals were the mainstream.

These two types of immortals accounted for nearly seventy percent of the immortals in the Immortal Realm!

"No wonder, the first time I entered 'Integrate Dao,' I found so many Earth Immortal and Human Immortal techniques."

As he digested this information, his attention focused on the "Heavenly Immortal."

This path…

Was the most difficult!

And the numbers were the fewest!

They could not even be measured by ten or five percent.

In the Immortal Realm, among a hundred people, there may not even be one Heavenly Immortal.

And most Heavenly Immortals live together in high places, hence in the outside world, very few encounter a true Heavenly Immortal.

Due to their rarity, coupled with their boundless magical powers and extensive Divine Skills, these individuals, once they achieve a certain proficiency, are also known as Great Practitioners of Magical Powers.

"Ghost Immortals, Human Immortals, Earth Immortals, Deities, all achieve Dao through external forces; Ghost Immortals plunder others' cultivation, Human Immortals rely on Immortal Artifacts to carry essence, spirit, and strength, Earth Immortals create Cave Heaven Blessed Lands by striking the ground, and Deities further integrate themselves with the Great Dao, deepening their cultivation and gradually becoming indifferent to emotions and desires, akin to Dao puppets… No wonder, only those who succeed in the Heavenly Immortal Path are honored as Great Practitioners of Magical Powers and powerful force wielders."

Alkaid felt somewhat sentimental.

However, things being what they were, he had no intention of changing his path.

Despite the new progress allowing him access to two more Heavenly Immortal Techniques, neither of these were the Heavenly Immortal Codices of the Void Path.

In this respect, Alkaid could understand.

There was hardly one in a hundred among the Heavenly Immortals.

Accurately obtaining a Heavenly Immortal Technique of the Void Path was even harder.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the Path of the Void is one of the four Supreme Daos.

It's not surprising that he hadn't yet found Dao Techniques like Causality or Destiny.

While digesting the information, the ancient tree's branches gradually ceased their growth.

Alkaid glanced at the final progress.

"One Dao Lord just added 4 points of progress?"

This outcome surprised him.

It was much less than he had anticipated.

At this rate, if he wanted to fill up ten thousand progress points, wouldn't he need 2500 Dao Lords?

"I wonder what the difference between Dao Lords and Immortals is? If it's significant, 2500 Dao Lords… might not be difficult, but if the difference between Dao Lords and Immortals is minimal..."

Alkaid pondered up until now and quickly dismissed the thought.

From the Martial Daoist Immortal Secret Treasury in his possession, one could infer that the gap between a Dao Lord and a true Immortal was not much smaller than that between Hollow Void and Shattered Void.

Although he hadn't achieved the leap from Shattered Void to Dao Lord, such an advantage...

was enough to allow him to relatively easily achieve the hunting of 2500 alien Dao Lords.

"Of course, this is just the ideal situation. Theoretically, higher-level hunting lower-level will experience a diminishing return on Experience; I wonder what the definition for 'diminishing return' is in 'Demon Hunter'."

Alkaid estimated for a while, then withdrew his attention from the Demon Hunter and Integrated Dao - Void branches, and shifted towards the Businessman branch.

The Penglai Dao Lord had transferred all the spoils of war from the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord to him, and this wealth — not to mention...

"Hmm!?"

Alkaid was first taken aback.

Then, his heart filled with incredulity.

A lot!

It was too much.

In the Businessman branch, there was a thin layer of energy, almost filling the entire branch.

It was only because this energy was far less dense than that of Demon Hunter that Alkaid hadn't noticed it at first glance.

"What is this!?"

Alkaid looked at the thin but extremely vast amount of energy, somewhat perplexed.

He swiftly retracted part of his spiritual awareness and probed into the remnants of Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord's Cave Heaven.

There were quite a few good things.

But...

An ancient Dao Lord who had lived for 120,000 years would have used any resource to extend his lifespan, increase his mental activity, or strengthen his own strength.

In light of the unpredictable arrival of Celestial demise, how could he possibly keep such valuable materials unused on his person?

Therefore, the total value of the treasures here wasn't even close to that of the Wheel-Turning Dao Lord.

It was just about four to five hundred billion or so.

"No good items here."

Alkaid riffled through them repeatedly.

But if there really weren't any good items, it wouldn't explain the anomaly of the Businessman branch.

Unwilling to give up, Alkaid once again turned his gaze towards the numerous items collected by the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord and...

One by one, he carefully distinguished between them.

This process of discriminating continued for a while; after looking over a rather ordinary Star Chart, Alkaid suddenly had a strange feeling surge within him.

Uncontrollably, his gaze fell once again onto the Star Chart.

He unfolded the Star Chart, which indeed showed the maps of the stars the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord had charted during one journey after another in his life span of 120,000 years.

Indeed, this Dao Lord in his long life, had traveled many places.

The farthest reaches he marked spanned a staggering three billion light-years!

However, along these three billion light years, there were many blank areas.

Alkaid estimated that he must have found several special Void nodes, enabling him to leap across ten million or even hundreds of millions of light-years at once, which allowed him to travel as far as three billion light-years away.

In most cases, the range of the Dao Lord's roaming would still be centered around the Northern Sea Star, covering a circle of one billion light-years.

Or even three hundred million light-years.

This would be a reasonable roaming range for many Dao Lords to choose.

In this region, even if something happened to the Northern Sea Star, they would have enough time to rush to the rescue quickly.

Otherwise, traveling to ten billion or dozens of billion light-years away, when their sect in the Northern Sea Star encountered danger, it would take them hundreds to thousands of years to return; by that time, the sect would have been razed to the ground, becoming dust in history.

Or if some Dao Lord, rich and powerful, decided to invest in a massive amount of high-energy material to open the Gate of the Immortal Realm ahead of time, and they missed this opportunity because they went too far, they would regret it immensely, wasting ten thousand years of waiting in vain.

"This Star Domain, was it a new discovery by the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord within this ten-thousand-year cycle? Marked with many high-energy areas that Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord had not explored before? Just because the timing for the opening of the Northern Sea Star's Gate of the Immortal Realm was nearing, and he was worried that the return journey might not go smoothly, so he set out early... and didn't have the chance to explore further..."

While saying this, Alkaid, following an intuition, suddenly shifted his gaze to a high-energy region marked three billion light-years away from the Northern Sea Star.

"What is this?"

He muttered to himself.

Subsequently, he directed a part of his spiritual awareness toward the Businessman branch.

More precisely, toward a talent that had evolved from this branch.

Businessman's intuition — even with an item or material never seen before, one could approximately assess its value.

"Didn't expect that this ability would actually be quite useful."

It was because of this talent that he was able to first select this Star Chart from the numerous items, and upon unfolding it, quickly turned his gaze toward the high-energy site three billion light-years away.

"So, what exactly is there?"

Alkaid wondered to himself, intending to test the limits of the "Businessman's Intuition" talent.

"An Immortal Technique legacy? A share of Immortal Artifact material? A Dao Lord's site of transcendence? A top-tier Cave Heaven Blessed Land? Could it possibly be a true Immortal Artifact?"

Alkaid speculated one by one.

But then, he sensed once again the scope of energy from the Businessman branch...

"A real Immortal Artifact probably wouldn't even have such an enormous amount of energy... so..."

With an intuitive leap, Alkaid boldly speculated, "A Gate to the Immortal Realm!?"

Almost as soon as he identified the value represented by this high-energy region, the initially somewhat tenuous but massive energy at the Businessman branch rapidly became denser.

The quantity...

even if compared to when he killed Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord, exceeded by several dozens of times!
