Chapter 644: 644

The amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energies absorbed going from a pinnacle mighty figure to a perfected Great Dao figure was massive . Small Worlds, even up to five of them, could not provide the required Heaven and Earth spiritual energies! Even a breakthrough in the Heavenly realm would result in a huge commotion .

But in Green Touring Palace, there was an endless stream of Heaven and Earth spiritual energies provided . Breaking through there did not cause any commotion .

The absorption of Heaven and Earth spiritual energies only stopped after an hour .

“This feeling sure is magical . ” Qin Yun opened his eyes, finding his Essence Soul more lively and vigorous . Cultivation also became faster . His Dharmic powers had also strengthened . The same move which was powered by perfected Great Dao Dharmic powers was several times stronger!

“I should improve and perfect my divine powers and sword moves . “

Qin Yun flipped his hand and produced a black jade bottle . He pulled out the stopper and consumed a drop of Samsara Dew which quickly spread throughout his Essence Soul . As he started feeling a little tipsy, his Essence Soul turned even more vivid as his perceptivity increased .

Qin Yun had once cultivated in two great divine powers—the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes and the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm .

Since Qin Yun’s insights lay in the Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man and not the Great Dao of the Stellar Heavenly Cycle, it prevented those two great divine powers from reaching the phenomenal success stage .

“Divine powers are in essence the remarkable use of a Great Dao . “

Using the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes as a reference and his own insights in defensive measures, Qin Yun first completed a defensive great divine power, one that was similar to a robe . He gave it a simple name, Azure Cloud Robes . It was the manifestation of the Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man into a world so as to protect his body . The robe appeared to be azure-colored and it was weaved by countless threads that contained the profundity of the Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man .

He next created a second great divine power by referencing the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Realm as well as his Intrinsic Flying Sword’s Misty Rain domain . The second great divine power was named the Misty Rain Realm .

Speaking of which…

The two great divine powers were in no way inferior to the two created by the ancient demons’ Celestial Thearch . However, the Misty Rain Realm provided little aid to Qin Yun . After all, casting the Misty Rain domain through his Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure was stronger! Instead, it was the Azure Cloud Robes that Qin Yun believed surpassed the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Robes . Furthermore, he was very interested in anything that protected his body .

In the future, perhaps all he needed was an additional defensive ability to allow him to transcend the Itinerant Immortal tribulations?

“These two great divine powers are just a crowning touch . My strongest means are still delivered by my Misty Rain Sword,” thought Qin Yun . Even the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure believed that he would possess strength at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm once he solidified his perfected Great Dao . It was all because of his Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure!

“Misty Rain Sword…”

…

Qin Yun continued meditating .

Every perfected Great Dao existence had a trait they were excellent at . For instance, the King of Myriad Fiends was good at controlling the hearts and minds of others because of his Six Desires Great Dao .

Qin Yun’s Great Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man… was best at setting up arrays! Even the Intrinsic Flying Sword he nurtured could naturally split into the three swords of Heaven, Earth, and Man .

Back when Pangu first split the heaven from the earth, it resulted in the formation of the Heaven, Earth, and Man realms .

Concentrating on what he was best at meant half the work with double the results!

Array formations .

They could be used defensively, as well as for entrapment and killing!

With his own accumulated insights and the referencing of the numerous array formations recorded in Green Touring Palace, as well as drawing from the various charms of the Immortal Vanquishing Array, his Misty Rain Array reached an initial stage of success after six hundred years of seclusion in Green Touring Palace .

“The Misty Rain Sword can be used to protect, entrap, and kill… It’s what I will be relying on to withstand the Itinerant Immortal tribulations and to reign supreme in the Three Realms . Now, it can be considered as me garnering some initial success . ” Qin Yun smiled before consuming another drop of Samsara Dew . “Next, it’s time to study more Great Dao and infuse them into my Sword Dao, as well as look forward to the day when I figure out the Dao of the Myriad Things in Heaven and Earth, so as to reach the Heavenly Dao realm . “

Qin Yun closed his eyes and attempted to infuse the Seven Stars Great Dao into his Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man .

The Seven Stars Great Dao… was the only Great Dao he had insights in at the pinnacle level other than his Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man . Although he had attempted to fuse them together, his Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man was imperfect back then . Now that it was perfected, he could naturally attempt fusion . With the foundation of the past, it was a lot easier this time .

“The Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man will be the body, while the Seven Stars Great Dao will be the veins . ” Qin Yun attempted fusion .

During the fusion process, Qin Yun had chanced upon the insights of a Sword Kinesis Flight art and named it the Seven Stars Evasion Art . It was striking for its speed and unpredictability .

A new Sword Dao was figured out after spending two centuries .

Now, his Misty Rain Sword Dao was the fusion of the Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man and the Seven Stars Great Dao . It was at least fifty percent stronger than just the Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man alone!

“Qingping Sword!”

Qin Yun flipped his hand as the Qingping Sword flew out from his sleeve and rested on his knees .

It contained the evolution of a Chaos world, where Heaven and Earth had been split . It also held endless vibrancy in it .

“Inside the Qingping Sword, the genesis of Chaos split into Yin and Yang, creating the Heaven and Earth . The Qingping Sword has a complete Yin Yang Great Dao! The Great Dao of Heaven and Great Dao of Earth are present as well . There’s only a portion of the Limitless Great Dao and the Life Great Dao . ” Qin Yun smiled . “However, a complete Yin Yang Great Dao is very suitable for me . “

Qin Yun continued cultivating .

…

Cultivation knew no time . One particular day, Qin Yun opened his eyes .

“I’m about to undergo my eighth Itinerant Immortal tribulation . It’s time to return . ” Qin Yun got up and left the cave abode . He had spent nearly a thousand years in seclusion in Green Touring Palace .

“Whoosh . “

Invisible forces enveloped Qin Yun as he was transported away . Qin Yun did not resist for he was very familiar with the force . It was none other than this master .

In the main hall .

Qin Yun appeared out of thin air .

The Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure sat on a bed of clouds as he looked at the present Qin Yun whose Dharmic powers were most forceful . They had reached the perfected Great Dao stage .

“How has your consolidation been after nearly a thousand years of seclusion?” inquired Numinous Treasure .

“I’ve already figured out various mystic arts, array formations, and killing arts,” said Qin Yun respectfully .

“Well done!” Numinous Treasure laughed . “How’s your ability to hide from the heavenly secrets?”

Qin Yun laughed .

After fusing the Seven Stars Great Dao into his Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man, his ability of hiding from the heavenly secrets had improved . Furthermore, with his Intrinsic Flying Sword present, he was able to obfuscate the heavenly secrets .

“Master, watch . ” Qin Yun attempted to blur the heavenly secrets to conceal his aura .

“Oh?” Numinous Treasure looked at Qin Yun in surprise . He nodded slightly . “Even with you in front of me, all I can do is vaguely sense your strength . Even you were to hide in a Great World, no one in the Three Realms will be able to see through you . However, this is still insufficient . “

With that said, Numinous Treasure waved his hand and threw out a black bead .

Qin Yun grabbed it immediately .

“This is an ordinary Connate Numinous treasure,” said Numinous Treasure . “It’s something I recently completed refining with a Connate Wonder . There’s no other use for it except to hide from the heavenly secrets . By bringing it with you, the heavenly secrets will be blurred . No one can spy on you . “

“No one? Would even the Fiend Ancestor fail to find me?” Qin Yun turned worried .

If the Fiend Ancestor could not find him, how was he to deliver him a setback?

“Haha, although there’s no way to infer your location from the heavenly secrets, there are always dumb methods,” said Numinous Treasure with a laugh . “All you need to do is head to a Great World and act according to how you usually would . With the intelligence network the fiends have across the entire Three Realms… it’s still possible to find you if no costs are spared .

“It will take him greater effort to find you if you hide well, and that will result in him being less suspicious,” said Numinous Treasure .

“Yes . “

Qin Yun nodded .

“I prepared this for you . ” Numinous Treasure threw out a gray cloth sack . “Remember, when you head to any Great World, the first thing to do is to set up a formation! After all, the Fiend Ancestor will be sending a perfected Great Dao enemy . The person in question might appear at any time . “

“Master, don’t worry . I understand . ” Qin Yun received the gray cloth sack and when he looked at the array formation treasures within, he could not help but be astounded .

Without any preparations, killing a perfected Great Dao in a one-on-one battle was rather difficult .

Although he had strength at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm, every figure at the perfected Great Dao had spent a great deal of effort in the aspects of life preservation and escaping .

But…

If he could set up an array formation ahead of time, allowing the enemy to fall into the trap, the chances of him using his half-step Heavenly Dao realm strength to kill a perfected Great Dao existence were a lot higher .

“This plan is firstly to weaken the fiends and secondly, to win you an opportunity of gaining immense merit,” said Numinous Treasure . “With your strength, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for you to gain immense merit . You must not miss out on any opportunity . “

Qin Yun nodded .

Back when he was invincible in Small Worlds, he could change the situation of the Three Realms and receive immense merit . Furthermore, the areas with the most number of lives in the Three Realms were all found in Small Worlds . Back when Qin Yun changed the situation of the twenty-six dominions, the merit he received left many mighty figures envious . Similarly, Star Destruction, who was once invincible in Small Worlds, had sins that ranked in the top five .

Becoming a mighty figure did not mean invincibility . It actually made the earning of immense merit very difficult! That was because there were many in the Three Realms who were still stronger than Qin Yun .

Even now! There were many who were Qin Yun’s equal! There were a few that were close to him in strength as well .

“I understand, Master,” replied Qin Yun .

“Go on then,” said Numinous Treasure .

…

Qin Yun returned to Mt . Lightning Roar and left after transcending the eighth Itinerant Immortal tribulation .

Yi Xiao and his family were all worried . After all, eight thousand years had passed! Qin Yun had yet to break through to the perfected Great Dao, which naturally made them anxious . And to keep it a secret, Qin Yun did not even tell his loved ones, afraid that it would leak . Mighty figures were very good at gathering intelligence .

“Hahaha, it’s been eight thousand years . You have finally left the Heavenly realm . “

In the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, the Fiend Ancestor’s destruction body smiled . “I’ve long determined that you can’t hide in the Heavenly realm all the time when faced with the Itinerant Immortal tribulations . You have to go out to seek out opportunities .

“Oh? Why is his concealment of the heavenly secrets that formidable?

“All I can see are his karmic lines . He should be in the Huifeng Great World . I can’t tell where exactly he is, however . To be able to hide from the heavenly secrets that well, only a few Heavenly Dao realm figures are capable of doing so . It must be Numinous Treasure acting personally . He sure cherishes this disciple of his . Numinous Treasure is even willing to help his disciple hide from the heavenly secrets when he’s out seeking opportunities . ”
