Chapter 533: Chapter 12 Debate_1

In the Dantian.

The colorless auras quietly condensed.

It was none other than the initial Mother Qi of Dharmas that would naturally form after the entry level of the Dharmas into One cultivation method.

With the birth of the Mother Qi of Dharmas, the Mana of the water, wood, and earth styles in Wang Ba’s original Dantian were swept into it.

The pace of absorption was neither fast nor slow. However, being a cultivator at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage, Wang Ba possessed a profound foundation. As the Mana was being absorbed into the Mother Qi of Dharmas, new Mana was continuously being generated within his body.

If he wanted to convert all the Mana present in his original body into the Mother Qi of Dharmas, it would probably take around two to three years’ time.

Plus, the conversion of the metallic and fiery Mana in his second Dantian would take approximately four years.

Wang Ba attempted; discovering that no new consumable options had appeared in his Lifespan Panel. Clearly, he could not simply skip past this step.

Even if he could skip it, Wang Ba would not choose to do so. Yao Wudi had previously emphasized that the process of conversion into the Mother Qi of Dharmas was essential. Only after becoming familiar with the process could he freely transform other styles of power into the Mother Qi of Dharmas in the future.

This was inherently a progressive relationship.

Wang Ba carefully contemplated the process of conversion into the Mother Qi of Dharmas.

He found it to be quite peculiar; even though it was formed by the transformation of water, wood, and fire styles, it did not lean towards any specific style and remained in a ‘void’ state.

This resulted in the Mother Qi of Dharmas seeming extremely mediocre compared to the Mana of any other style.

Attempting to use the Mother Qi of Dharmas to cast spells, he soon realized that the lack of unique style characteristics had resulted in the loss of the power of their corresponding styled Mana.

For instance, when casting a spell of the Fire Style, there was a complete absence of the explosive effect characteristic of the Fire Method.

“The power has decreased by at least twenty percent …”

Wang Ba, perceiving the changes as the Mana transformed into the Mother Qi of Dharmas, remained clear-minded without any turbulent feelings.

This was indeed a crucial part of the cultivation process of the Dharmas into One method.

It was like a pupa transforming into a butterfly, one has to pass through a period of recession to welcome the day of blossoming.

Plus, being within the sect, safety was ensured, so he was not worried about the temporary vulnerability of his strength.

“However, even though four years is not a long time, to get the remaining four cultivation methods would be challenging.”

Wang Ba pondered.

The four cultivation methods, based on the borrowing price of the Manual of Azure Emperor’s Seed in the Myriad Library, would cost approximately twenty thousand merit points.

If he were to take the regular approach, he would have to work for six to seven hundred years.

This was something Wang Ba could not accept.

“I still need to find a way, get more acquainted with sect members to find other ways of acquiring merit points.”

This thought flashed through Wang Ba’s mind before he submerged himself again, continuing to comprehend the changes within his Dantian.

…

Shaoyang Mountain.

The landscape was imposing and majestic, resembling a coiled dragon.

Halfway up the mountain there was an eye-catching ancient stone gate.

Within the stone gate, flickers of multicoloured lights were barely visible.

This was the entrance to the Myriad Library.

All the inheritance of the ten thousand peaks within the Wanxiang Sect, along with countless scriptures, Jade Slips, etc. obtained by many predecessor cultivators, were all housed here.

The night sky was dotted with stars, with the moonlight slightly dim.

However, in the eyes of the cultivators, it was no different from daylight.

The figure of Yao Wudi quietly landed in front of the Myriad Library.

As he stood there with his hands behind his back, his gaze focused on the familiar stone gate. His eyes flashed with nostalgia.

Once upon a time, he, too, was running back and forth in this place with other sect members, eager to learn.

However, in the blink of an eye, more than two thousand years have passed. Many of his peers who entered the sect at the same time as him, barring a select few who have gained a lot of lifespan from this world, have already passed away.

Time is merciless.

Even for cultivators, when compared to the heavens and the earth, they’re small existences.

Since his cultivation had been successful, he hasn’t visited this place for over a thousand years.

Sensing Yao Wudi’s undisguised aura, a young cultivator with half black and white hair appeared quietly above the stone gate.

The young cultivator was clearly standing atop the stone gate but seemed completely isolated from this world.

Around him, a mysterious aura swirled; as profound as heaven and earth, impossible to probe.

His gaze fell on Yao Wudi with a hint of surprise:

“Junior Brother Yao…”

“Senior Brother Pang.”

Upon seeing this young cultivator, Yao Wudi was slightly taken aback but he wore rare respect in his demeanor:

“So it’s Senior Brother Pang who is working as the guardian here, I was completely unaware.”

The young cultivator was easy-going:

“You haven’t come often, I’ve been guarding here for three to four hundred years… What suddenly brought you here?”

Mentioning this, Yao Wudi couldn’t help but clear his throat, replying awkwardly:

“Well, I took on a disciple… However, you know Senior Brother Pang, in our Dharma Lineage we need to gather the five elements cultivation method at the start. But Ling Weizi and others intentionally avoided me and only the niece of the Renshui Lineage was willing to help… However we’re still four manuals short, so I thought…”

“Coming to exploit?”

With a light smile, the young cultivator completed Yao Wudi’s unfinished sentence.

Upon hearing this, Yao Wudi didn’t seem embarrassed. Seeing his intention exposed, he simply went with the flow:

“It couldn’t be any better since you, my senior brother are guarding the library. You can create a case file for my disciple and I don’t need to borrow the manuals, once they are at home I can teach them myself.”

Despite Yao Wudi’s words, the young cultivator continued to smile lightly, not seeming surprised.

“After so long, you’re just as impudent, Junior Brother.”
