Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 973 - 287: [Ghost Race] (6600)_2

Of course, this is theoretical. After all, Saint Positions are limited. No matter how beautiful the theory is, if there is no vacancy for the Saint Position, even comprehending the Heavenly Dao to death won’t allow for a Realm Breakthrough to a Saint Position.

But, this was the mainstream cultivation path for the Human Race in the Domain Realm.

However, that mountain sage came up with an idea.

Cultivators in the second stage, after breaking through to Celestial Being, have combat power far surpassing those below the Celestial Human Realm, such as those in the Third Realm Ascension Realm.

Because once the Celestial Human Realm is broken through, one can start to glimpse and comprehend the Heavenly Dao. The rules of the Heavenly Dao, and harnessing the power of heaven and earth, are already vastly different from the first great stage.

In terms of combat power, if a Celestial Human Realm wants to deal with a Third Realm Ascension Realm cultivator, it’s simply an effortless suppression and slaughter!

Although the Celestial Human Realm is just the Fourth Realm in sequence, only one realm higher than the Ascension Realm.

Below the Celestial Being, all are ants!

Cultivators knowledgeable in the rules of the Heavenly Dao are far stronger than those who have never comprehended the Heavenly Dao, even if it’s just the Fourth Realm against the Third Realm.

Theoretically, a Second Realm cultivator could challenge a Third Realm cultivator, barely putting up a fight, and might manage to maneuver somewhat even though they aren’t a match.

If a few Second Realm cultivators gather, they could jointly kill a Third Realm cultivator.

But...

Facing a Fourth Realm, it’s entirely different.

If a Celestial Human Realm kills an Ascension Realm, even though it’s just the Fourth Realm against the Third Realm in terms of level, it’s like a strong man wielding a sharp blade against a preschool child.

Even a group of ten or more Third Realm cultivators wouldn’t stand a chance! A Fourth Realm Celestial Human cultivator, having initially mastered the rules of the Heavenly Dao he glimpsed, can harness Heavenly Dao power. Compared to Third Realm cultivators, their strength increases exponentially, easily mowing down a group of Third Realm opponents!!

Before the Celestial Human Realm, the realm levels of cultivators differentiated their strengths.

But these differences didn’t amount to a qualitative distinction.

The sage’s thought was that the Southern Border mountain people lacked powerful cultivation and combat strength.

But reaching the Celestial Human Realm is so difficult!

Although the Southern Border’s land is vast, the cultivation resources aren’t abundant. Trying to reach the Celestial Human Realm is exceedingly difficult.

The strength of second-stage cultivators over first-stage ones lies in the Heavenly Dao!

Only after breaking through to Celestial Being does one become a second-stage cultivator, able to initially glimpse and comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao.

But cultivation in the Domain Realm historically starts from comprehending Primordial Qi. First-stage cultivators begin with Primordial Qi, then cultivate the Primordial Spirit or walk the path of body cultivation. Only upon reaching the second stage, after breaking into Celestial Being, can one comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

The road founded by that sage, however, goes completely against the grain!

The first step in cultivation: first comprehend the Heavenly Dao!

Forget Primordial Qi, Primordial Spirit, or body cultivation.

I will directly leap forward, heading straight for the Heavenly Dao!

This approach is not only absurd but also widely regarded as nonsense.

Comprehending the Heavenly Dao is not something you can do just because you want to. You can’t glimpse it just because you desire to.

The reason why the traditional cultivation steps allowed one to glimpse the Heavenly Dao only after the Celestial Human Realm is understandable.

Before reaching the Celestial Human Realm, a cultivator has already established a foundation for the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit, their Divine Sense is strong, so they have sufficient spiritual power to glimpse and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Additionally, during a Realm-Breaking Celestial event, there’s a major celestial tribulation. The process of crossing this tribulation not only tempers the cultivator’s physical body and cultivation but also allows one to sense the power of the heavens and earth amidst life and death, touching upon a trace of the profound Heavenly Dao rules during the crossing.

These are indispensable conditions.

Previously, it was always believed in the Domain Realm that lacking these conditions made it impossible to comprehend the Heavenly Dao—you couldn’t glimpse it even if you stared till your eyeballs bled!

Given that such a sage was incredibly gifted, how could they not know this basic principle?

But he uniquely devised a method almost akin to magic! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

·

Back then, this sage proposed a discourse that was almost universally attacked across the Domain Realm, deemed heretical, and a reversal of the celestial spirit!

He stated:

[The Heavenly Dao is like a will between heaven and earth. Traditional cultivation involves the Heavenly Dao setting examinations: when it wants us to cultivate Primordial Qi, we cultivate Primordial Qi; when it wants us to cultivate the Primordial Spirit, we cultivate the Primordial Spirit; when it wants us to practice body techniques, we practice body techniques.

We complete one test after another. Once we pass, with enough scores, the Heavenly Dao lifts its veil, allowing us to glimpse the rules of heaven and earth, thus comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

It’s akin to apprenticing under a master, requiring us to pass the master’s assessments before acquiring the secret manual.

But...

If one doesn’t want to go through these steps but wants the master to teach them the most powerful true skills directly, what can be done?]

The answer is simple.

The sage’s answer is just three words:

[Offer incentives!]

·

At the time, you couldn’t offer money to the Heavenly Dao. But the meaning was easily understood, which is bribery.

To take something and offer it as a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao.

The method conceived by this sage was:

Sacrifice one’s own soul!

·

He created a secret technique that could directly put a person into a state of Divine Travel—it’s very dangerous for mortals to enter a state of Divine Travel! Because mortals have no cultivation, lack Divine Sense, and the state of Divine Travel depletes a person’s spirit. Once it’s exhausted, even if one is saved, they become dull-witted—like what is commonly known as soul-loss syndrome.

However, using this dangerous state, at the cost of burning one’s spiritual power, the resultant state of Divine Travel allows mortals to barely enter a state where they can sense the rules of heaven and earth!
