Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 281 - 269 Northern Sea

"Dao Technique."

Alkaid searched briefly in his mind.

Because the progress of "Immortal Path - Refining the Void" had only advanced to 41%, covering just thirteen Dao techniques, and all of them were merely superficial, not even close to minor accomplishment.

As for the Supreme Divine Powers...

After digesting them a bit, he had already perceived over ten thousand types.

However, the number of Great Daos these ten thousand Supreme Divine Powers pointed to was only three thousand.

Clearly, the same Great Dao, understood by different Dao Lords, could give rise to various Dao techniques and Supreme Divine Powers, among which the highs and lows...

He would have to judge for himself.

Alkaid did not rush to choose one or several Supreme Divine Powers to cultivate to Perfection; instead, he immersed his Divine Sense in the Dao Fruit Divine Powers that had emerged from the transition from Hollow Void Realm to Refining Void Realm.

"The last Dao Fruit was the ’Divine Heart’ talent that I abandoned in the Cangwu Great World, this time..."

Son of the Void?

Alkaid looked at this talent and immediately thought of the Child of the Stars, which had already been phased out during the Body Refinement Stage.

He suddenly felt...

"How perfunctory."

He complained inwardly, but he still sensed the features of this "talent."

Favored Child of the Void.

Capable of better understanding the changes in the Void, accurately perceiving the flow of the Void, lowering the difficulty of achieving the Hollow Void, and reducing the difficulty of achieving the Refining Void.

"These features..."

Alkaid’s mind was flooded with the rich to the point of overflowing experience and perceptions of "advancing to Hollow Void."

Is the breakthrough difficulty in need of your reduction?

Useless.

These features are completely useless.

Fortunately, the characteristics of the Son of the Void did not stop there.

Reduces the consumption of Void-related Divine Skills and Dao Techniques.

Lowers the burden of Void-related Divine Skills and Dao Techniques.

Increases the casting speed of Void-related Divine Skills and Dao Techniques.

These three features did perk him up a bit.

To put it in simpler terms, it’s like reducing skill consumption, decreasing skill cooldown, and increasing skill casting speed?

Looking at it this way, it seems not too bad?

However, ultimately, it is a talent matching the Hollow Void Realm, and its actual effect would only become apparent once he cultivated to the Hollow Void Realm.

And now...

He needed to select a batch of Supreme Divine Powers to adapt and master.

"Three Thousand Great Daos form the essence of the world; there might be no difference in that respect, but for us cultivators, there certainly is a hierarchy."

He quietly searched through the many Divine Skills in the information he had obtained.

In the Northern Sea Star, there were distinctions between Divine Skills, Great Divine Skills, and Supreme Divine Skills.

These distinctions were not about the power of the Divine Skills but about their upper limit.

Supreme Divine Skills directly relate to Dao Techniques and are the legacy of Dao Lords.

Great Divine Skills relate to incomplete Dao Techniques, merely a legacy of Shattered Void.

Divine Skills refer to those created by Refining Voids based on their own concepts, which can point to a Great Dao, the specific performance of which has not yet been confirmed.

In other words, without touching upon the level of Dao Techniques, the power of Divine Skills may not necessarily be less than that of Supreme Divine Skills.

Of course, how could the perspectives of Dao Lords and Shattered Voids compare to that of Refining Voids?

Even the simplified Supreme Divine Skills and Great Divine Skills, their profundity is beyond the imagination of those Divine Skills created by Refining Voids.

Therefore, Divine Skills that are truly more powerful than Great Divine Skills and Supreme Divine Skills are very rare.

"When I ascended to the ’Refining Void’ stage, I obtained thirteen Dao Techniques, which correspond to the Supreme Divine Powers..."

Alkaid looked them over briefly, his expression turning odd.

The thirteen Dao Techniques that corresponded to the Supreme Divine Powers were all of the Life-Saving Category, Protective Category, Escapism Category, and Cultivation Category.

"Is this the true reflection of my soul?"

However, according to what Susan and others described about the Northern Sea Star, in this world, the more you yield, the more others will press on you until they drive you to death, completely exploiting you until they desist.

Therefore, having just Life-Saving, Protective, Escapism, and Cultivation category Divine Skills is not enough; he must master sufficiently powerful Arts of Slaughter.

Soon, he had chosen five Supreme Divine Skills.

Protective Category, related to the Stellar Path: Chaotic Body of Numerous Stars.

Escapism Category, related to the Great Void Path: Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement.

Slaughter Category, related to the Great Void Path: Rip the Sky with One Strike.

Supportive Category, related to the Path of the Mind: Supreme Detachment.

Cultivation Category, related to the Devouring Path: Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique.

Five Supreme Divine Skills, each serving its purpose, each with its own merits.

"Originally, I should have considered five Divine Skills directed towards different Great Daos, but with the Son of the Void trait, the Void Category skills like Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement and Rip the Sky with One Strike can achieve better results. The remaining three..."

Alkaid made his selection based on his condition: "Chaotic Body of Numerous Stars supplements the Star God Body Refinement, Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Technique and Star Devouring Art combined can accelerate the enhancement of my Star God’s body; the remaining Supreme Detachment... leans towards Divine Refinement and mental power application, reaching a state aligned with ’Supreme’ by discarding all emotions and desires, allowing for one hundred to one hundred and twenty percent utilization of one’s full strength."

He had gained enough understanding of these Supreme Divine Skills through "High-Dimensional Cognition"; next, he just needed some time to master them one by one, demonstrating the full and even perfect state of these skills.

By that time, his strength would not only increase, but he would also be capable of contending against a true Sunburst Golden Core.

...

One month later, the Void Disk was gradually captured by the "Gravity" of the Northern Sea Star.

This process was very dangerous for many forces entering the Northern Sea Star.

According to Susan, many cultivators would band together on the periphery of Northern Sea Star to rob and loot, taking advantage of the difficulty newcomers faced in extracting themselves, killing them, and sweeping away all their carried resources.

This was the first trial of entering Northern Sea Star.

In this situation, Li Hanqiu, being a Hollow Void Realm cultivator, had no choice but to pause the refinement of the Domain Stabilizing Ring, take control of the Void Disk, and, while releasing the aura of a Hollow Void Realm powerhouse, hurriedly executed a round of Void Shuttle.

Thanks to this ability of Void Shuttle, the Void Disk directly crossed the "gravity" capture phase and the one or two months it would normally take to formally arrive at Northern Sea Star, appearing directly on the periphery of Northern Sea Star.

At the periphery of Northern Sea Star, the sight that met their eyes was like witnessing a circle of deep blue radiance.

That was the light emitted by the visible Spiritual Energy.

If one were to set up a Spirit Gathering Array in these spaces, it’s unknown how many Spirit Stones could be produced each year.

However, at this time, neither Li Hanqiu nor Alkaid were in the mindset to consider such things. The binding effect of Northern Sea Star on the Void Disk was increasing, pulling the Void Disk rapidly toward the ground, like a spaceship about to crash into Northern Sea Star.

"It’s Spiritual Power!"

Li Hanqiu sensed for a moment and said, "Northern Sea Star ’absorbs’ all the Spiritual Energy in this part of the void, and the Spiritual Power and spirituality contained in this treasure of the Void Disk are also being pulled and directed deep into Northern Sea Star, unless we stop the operation of this Dao Artifact, this pulling force will grow stronger until it completely absorbs all the Spiritual Power and spirituality in the Void Disk, leading to its disintegration."

"Can it hold?"

Alkaid asked.

"If it were before, with my unstable ’Chaos Void’ state, I wouldn’t dare give you a definite answer, but now..."

Li Hanqiu smiled and glanced at the marked coordinates, "Hang on tight."

As he spoke, the whole Void Disk suddenly rippled with waves under his control, these ripples contained the force of the void, clearing away the terrifying "gravity" emitted by Northern Sea Star.

Seizing this opportunity, the speed of the Void Disk increased rapidly, roaring towards a location they had chosen earlier.

Amidst violent tremors and the continuously dissipating spatial ripples, the Void Disk swiftly passed through the layer of Spiritual Energy on the periphery of Northern Sea Star, and suddenly, the landscape filled with mountains, swamps, plains, and forests, appeared in Alkaid’s view.

Also appearing was the onrushing Spiritual Energy.

Because of the abundant Spiritual Energy, all animals and plants on Northern Sea Star had undergone transformations, becoming strong and aggressive.

Furthermore, the Star Core in the deepest part of Northern Sea Star seemed to be absorbing and pulling Spiritual Energy and spirituality throughout the starry space, thus the soil and rocks on the ground, without exception, were infused with Spiritual Power, altering their material properties.

To say in no uncertain terms, even the most ordinary rock from this planet, once brought to the outside world, could serve as a material for crafting Spiritual Artifacts.

It’s like neutron star matter; even a gram would enable a milestone breakthrough in the technology of some technological planets, if brought out for study.

"Truly worthy of being called the Northern Sea Spirit Realm, the Spiritual Power is too immense," Alkaid sincerely stated.

Li Hanqiu deeply agreed and nodded his head.

He was exerting the suppression of a Hollow Void Realm powerhouse while controlling the Void Disk, swiftly traversing through an area below that resembled a primeval forest.

No!

Not swiftly!

Because the binding power emanating from the Star Core of Northern Sea Star was so immense, the Void Disk had to utilize a vast amount of energy to counteract this binding and pulling force, causing its flying speed to drop to less than ten times the speed of sound.

However, the occasional spatial ripples emanating from this treasure canceled out the "air resistance," thus preventing violent tremblings and roaring during flight.

The Void Disk swept over, undoubtedly alarming many cultivators residing in these mountains and forests.

These cultivators, looking at the Void Disk, were filled with envy and greed.

Yet they all wisely kept this envy and greed deeply hidden, not daring to show even a hint of it.

Fearful that if they were discovered by the other party, a flick of a Flying Sword could take their lives.

...

After flying for a couple of hours and covering tens of thousands of miles, the Void Disk came to a halt in a city built among mountains.

Immediately, everyone in the city hurriedly concealed themselves.

Some gazes towards the Void Disk were filled with fear.

Alkaid and Li Hanqiu quietly surveyed the city for a moment, and soon, Alkaid stepped forward and exited the Void Disk.

He pinched a spell, emitting a special fluctuation that rapidly swept across a radius of...

Three thousand miles!

Alkaid sensed for a moment and frowned.

It was a while before he realized that his Divine Sense, which theoretically should have encompassed tens of millions of miles, under the restraint of Northern Sea Star, could only transmit three thousand miles before it could no longer continue.

Furthermore, he tried a little and discovered that the energy consumption to expand his Void Divine Realm on Northern Sea Star was extremely huge.

It seemed as if a monster was constantly devouring his soul power, making the cost of maintaining the Void Divine Realm increase a thousandfold, ten thousandfold.

"This world, just as Susan and those others said... it’s like compressing the essence of ten thousand miles into just one... no wonder those with Golden Cores felt incredibly relaxed when they reached Cangwu Great World, I initially thought it was because living in Northern Sea Star was psychologically stressful... but it turns out, there is not only psychological pressure, but physical pressure as well," Alkaid thought to himself.

After stimulating his Divine Sense with a Secret Technique, he waited for a moment...

No response.

For a moment, he had to try again.

Still, there was no one coming out to meet him.

"The spell is correct, the coordinates are also right, according to Wan Liugui, he did arrange for someone to keep a way out for us here..."

But then, as if he "saw" something.

This city...

Had experienced turmoil!?

And it hadn’t been more than a year!?

Realizing something, he quickly rose into the air, his Divine Sense immediately covering the city below, locking onto the strongest life form in the city—a Fission Realm cultivator.

"Come to me immediately!"
