The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1259 - 284: The Meeting

The Dao Ancestor is not in a hurry, truly not in a hurry.

Now he resonates with the world's martial artists through the Qi Mechanism; any True Qi martial artist is connected to his Qi Mechanism, providing him with support. He only hopes for time to grow more abundant, for the decisive battle with Qing Yu to be delayed rather than hastily rushing into a life-or-death duel.

Qing Yu is also aware of this point, so after transferring some power to his avatar, he carries the momentum of slaying the Buddha and heads towards the East Province.

"Woo—"

The flow of Primordial Energy is intense, emitting a sound like a wild gale. Wherever Qing Yu goes, immeasurable Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is absorbed into his acupoints, filling the voids within them.

Each acupoint, upon receiving an abundant amount of Primordial Energy, vibrates as if it were a heartbeat, and small spherical forms appear within the acupoints, in which echoes the faint flow of the Star River, filled with a profoundly mysterious aura.

After the battle with the Buddha, Qing Yu's entire martial arts are finally fused into one furnace, refining into the Taiyi True Body. Now, he is absorbing Primordial Energy to further strengthen his True Body.

With Qing Yu's steps, the gathered Primordial Energy becomes more abundant, and all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi within a thousand miles is seized by him, even affecting the Qi Mechanism Resonance of the Dao Ancestor.

"So, the secret of Dao Ancestor's Qi Mechanism Resonance lies here······"

As he walks, Qing Yu does not miss the study of Dao Ancestor's Qi Mechanism Resonance. He captures the Qi Mechanism radiating across the world, examining its secrets meticulously, discovering that the Dao Ancestor's Xuan Yuan One Qi has markedly changed compared to ten years ago.

Thousands of years ago, the Dao Ancestor, as the founder of the True Qi Martial Way, could resonate with all martial artists through his own Qi Mechanism. However, after a millennium, due to the ever-changing nature of martial arts, he could no longer resonate as he used to.

The version of the Dao Ancestor has undergone numerous updates over the millennia, having patched countless times, and has become outdated.

Since it's outdated, updating one's version to the current era is the right approach. This is the Dao Ancestor's coping method.

Although the path of this update is destined to be full of hardships and countless challenges, the Dao Ancestor ultimately overcame them. (Just like my persistent updates)

He changed his cultivation body, and eased the Xuan Yuan One Qi, allowing his Qi Mechanism to once again resonate with all True Qi martial artists.

For this reason, the Dao Ancestor specifically targets the martial artists of the Divine Demon Body Training stream, sparing no effort in employing various strategies. Because he knows, as long as the foundation of the world's martial artists is not replaced and remains based on True Qi, the Dao Ancestor will never become outdated.

However, once the world's martial artists alter their cultivation to the Divine Demon Body Training stream, even with Dao Ancestor's profound abilities, his path of Qi Mechanism Resonance would reach its end.

"What a clever calculation, Dao Ancestor, you're much trickier than the Buddha."

Compared to the single-minded Buddha spreading the Dharma, the scarier one is the Dao Ancestor, who silently completes the setup and seizes victory without a word.

But thinking about it, the Buddhist has an incomparable advantage in missionary work, and the Buddha actually just made the optimal choice.

Yet it's Qing Yu and the Dao Ancestor, these two who ostensibly play the orthodox Dao struggle but are actually plotting to either monopolize or overturn the table, such unfathomable behavior, it's no wonder the Buddha couldn't think of it.

At this moment, Qing Yu has traversed the long distance, from the Western Regions on the western side of the Central Plains, across the entire Central Plains, to the easternmost East Province.

The sky of the East Province is now shrouded by the clouds formed by Xuan Yuan Qi, and above the white sea of clouds, the enormous White Jade City abruptly comes into Qing Yu's view.

Within White Jade City, a pillar of communication rises into the sky, its Qi piercing the firmament, connecting with the Daoist martial artists scattered across the world.

These Daoist martial artists are the Divinity Realm martial artists cultivated by the Dao Ancestor over the years, all having received the Dao Ancestor's Xuan Yuan One Qi, their True Qi assimilated by it.

This causes their entire power to be wholly controlled by another, while also granting them the ability to connect their Qi Mechanism with the Dao Ancestor.

They can at any time borrow the power of the Dao Ancestor through this connected Qi Mechanism, and the Dao Ancestor can also use them to radiate his Qi Mechanism across the world at the fastest speed.

The Dao Ancestor prepared ten years for this day, cultivating more than fifty mass-produced Divinity Realm martial artists as relay stations.

Although these mass-produced martial artists have worrisome combat power, the Dao Ancestor didn't cultivate them to have them go up against the Mystical Sect or Demon Sect in a bloodbath; they just need to function as relay stations. After all, they're just tools.

On his way here, Qing Yu captured one such tool and conducted a Soul Search, basically getting a clear understanding of the Dao Ancestor's plans and arrangements.

"You've given me quite a surprise, Dao Ancestor."

Looking at that White Jade City, suspended above the sea of clouds and shrouded in boundless Dao Qi, Qing Yu said mildly.

As his words fell, Primordial Energy above White Jade City boiled, the Xuan Yuan One Qi converging into the Dao Ancestor's face, and with an ear-splitting voice, it said, "Aren't you the same? Xuan Venerate, or rather Demon Emperor. Your sudden battle with the Buddha also gave me quite a surprise."

Two surprises, but the one given to Qing Yu by the Dao Ancestor was certainly more a shock than a delight, while the one Qing Yu gave to the Dao Ancestor was perhaps a mix, with the delight outweighing the shock.

If Qing Yu hadn't gone to challenge the Buddha, the Dao Ancestor might have endured for a while longer, perhaps months or even years, before launching his plan.

Timing is crucial, and Qing Yu provided the Dao Ancestor with this timing.

"I must thank you; if not for you, my resonance plan might not have proceeded so smoothly. But I am also impressed by your advancement; in merely ten years, you've grown to such an extent as to extinguish the Buddha. And······"

At this point, a trace of gloom flickered across the enormous face composed of Xuan Yuan One Qi.

Qing Yu is an extraordinary person.

The Divine Demon Body Training stream he pioneered is incredibly sensitive to the Qi Mechanism, no less than True Qi martial artists, but their resonance with the Qi Mechanism is weaker.

Because the Divine Demon Body Training stream uses more Primordial Energy for refining acupoints and the body, compared to Qi Mechanism Resonance, it is undoubtedly weaker than True Qi Martial Way.

In other words, the Qi Mechanism Resonance between Qing Yu, who is of the Tao Realm and the Divine Demon Body Training stream, yields benefits far less than the resonance between True Qi martial artists.

When Yun Qiong researched Yanmo Hanba's heart, discovering this fact through his research results, he reported it to the Dao Ancestor immediately.

And the Dao Ancestor, he found it hard to believe.

Because this signifies that Qing Yu had abandoned the orthodox Dao struggle and the path of Qi Mechanism Resonance from the very beginning.

This also indicates that Qing Yu found a better choice.

"Let me see······"

The cloud sea formed by Xuan Yuan One Qi seethed, innumerable clouds swirling and gathering, forming into the image of a giant amidst the whirlwind, standing mightily atop the Heavenly Vault.

"Let me see what caused you to abandon the path of Qi Mechanism Resonance, what gave you the strength you have today."

The gigantic figure held White Jade City in one hand, looking down from above, speaking in a heavenly voice to that ant-like tiny figure below.
