Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect-Chapter 58 [Heavenly Dao Pact, Treasure Coin] (4th Update)

Chapter 58: Chapter 58 [Heavenly Dao Pact, Treasure Coin] (4th Update)

"Heavenly Dao above!"

"Disciple Xuanqing, a student of Saint Tongtian, vows to cleanse a hundred thousand mountains of poison miasma, to comb through the land’s evil qi, and to contribute a meager force to the order of the Primordial world!"

"Barefoot across a thousand mountains, pushing away clouds to greet the bright sun. Not seeking to become immortal or saintly, only wishing for clarity in heaven and earth!"

"Please let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

Under the coordination of Tongtian Sect Master, Xuanqing successfully established a contract with the Heavenly Dao to cleanse the poison miasma of a hundred thousand mountains, using the "Treasure Coin" as the medium.

In an instant, merit descended from heaven, and thousands of strands of Merit Golden Light immediately fell into the auspicious clouds above Xuanqing’s head, with the golden radiance continually twinkling in the void.

This merit was an advance from the Heavenly Dao, roughly amounting to thirty percent of the total. When Xuanqing fulfills the contract and completely cleanses the mountains of their poison miasma, the Heavenly Dao will bestow the remaining seventy percent of the merit.

The method Xuanqing adopted is somewhat similar to the "Great Vow" of those two in the Western Paradises, but not exactly the same. The Heavenly Dao would advance a portion of the merit, yet if Xuanqing fails to fulfill his promise to cleanse the miasma, the Heavenly Dao will not only reclaim the merit but will also inflict karma equivalent to the advanced merit.

Of course, if Xuanqing fulfills his promise, the Heavenly Dao will naturally issue the remaining seventy percent of the merit.

"Is it really possible?"

When the merit descended, Daoist Duobao expressed his disbelief: "If this method works, wouldn’t it be possible for me to borrow some merit from the Heavenly Dao?"

He was currently at a critical moment in breaking through to the Daluo Realm. With enough merit to aid him, perhaps he could indeed advance beyond his own limits!

Borrowing merit from the Heavenly Dao is not something just anyone can do; ordinary beings, unlike the two saints of the Western Paradises, cannot directly communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

The reason the Heavenly Dao lent merit to the two Western saints is because they possessed Hongmeng Purple Qi, capable of achieving the status of Heavenly Dao Saint, and had the potential to repay that Heavenly Dao Merit in the future.

Xuanqing did not have the ability to negotiate directly with the Heavenly Dao, so he asked Tongtian Sect Master to be his guarantor and used the "Treasure Coin" as witness to the contract.

"Theoretically, it’s possible!"

Xuanqing smiled and said: "However, the deed you propose must be beneficial to heaven and earth, and with our teacher vouching for you, only then might the Heavenly Dao descend its merit."

"That’s easy!"

Duobao was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Last time, when the two peerless formations of the Witch and Demon Clan clashed, my disciples on Golden Turtle Island, under teacher’s protection, were not much affected, but several water veins in the East Sea were impacted! I happen to have a few treasures at hand that are perfect for combing through water veins!"

Saying so, he turned to Tongtian Sect Master and respectfully requested: "Please be my guarantor, teacher!"

"Agreed!"

Tongtian Sect Master did not refuse.

He could also see the predicament Daoist Duobao was in. As the transformed existence of the Treasure Dividing Rock, having absorbed many Spiritual Treasure essences, attaining the Eighth Grade of the Daluo flower’s bloom was not a problem at all. However, to make the Daluo flower bloom at the Ninth Grade, he needed some external assistance.

He began to communicate with the Heavenly Dao.

"Heavenly Dao above!"

"Disciple Duobao, a student of Saint Tongtian, is willing to comb through the East Sea Water Vein, to restore the Water Element Cycle to its rightful path, and to contribute a thin sliver of strength to the order of the Primordial World!"

"When water veins are uneven, do not certify as Quasi-Saint, where hidden currents are ceaseless, do not Slash Three Corpses!"

"Please let the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

Daoist Duobao immediately imitated Xuanqing, using the "Treasure Coin" as the medium to set a contract with the Heavenly Dao to comb the East Sea Water Vein.

Instantaneously, more merit than what Xuanqing had just obtained descended from the heavens.

Evidently, the Heavenly Dao considered the difficulty of combing the East Sea Water Vein to be greater than that of cleansing the hundred thousand mountains, and so it granted Daoist Duobao a bit more merit.

"I, Daoist Duobao, have made it!"

As the merit infused into his body, Duobao felt the clarity of his spiritual platform and his Primordial Spirit began to undergo continuous transformation.

He pointed one hand to the heavens and the other to the earth, declaring with great boldness: "In the Jie Sect, striving ahead on the path, body like a furnace refining true gold. Three Flowers gathering at the top to bloom in brilliance, Five Elements ascending to the primordial to play mysterious tunes! Today, as I reach the Daluo Ninth Grade, I only wish that the will of heaven aligns with mine!"

The resonant voice of Daoist Duobao, with Golden Turtle Island at the center, spread outwards in all directions, echoing through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and lingering long in the Great Thousand Universe. Below his feet, a golden light path emerged, with the illusory flow of time and space encircling an impeccable Dao Fruit, faintly visible.

Boom!

The void exploded with noise, and the Great Dao thundered.

As the past, present, and future overlapped, Daoist Duobao’s Taiyi Dao Fruit reached its utmost sublimation, blossoming with Ninth Grade and successfully proving the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

However, this was not the end; above the vault of heaven, ominous clouds gathered as the Daluo Heavenly Tribulation descended, with the "Purple Cloud Divine Thunder" transforming into a Thunder Dragon charging towards Daoist Duobao.

"Bring it on!"

Daoist Duobao was not the least bit frightened and did not even use a Spiritual Treasure for protection, directly clashing with the Heavenly Tribulation with his physical body.

His original form was the Treasure Dividing Rock outside the Purple Cloud Palace, inherently extremely sturdy, and after absorbing various mystical auras from Spiritual Treasures, it had transformed to a whole new level.

The Daluo Heavenly Tribulation consisted of nine strikes, each stronger than the last, but with Daoist Duobao’s profound foundation, he spent only half a day to successfully traverse all nine divine tribulations.

In an instant, infinite divine light shone, the past three thousand universes, the present three thousand universes, the future three thousand universes—all creatures within them chanted Daoist Duobao’s name in unison.

"Is this Daluo?"

Xuanqing watched this scene, his heart filled with longing, and then he firmly said, "It won’t be long before I can do it too. The Daluo Realm is just a starting point!"

This was his first time witnessing another being achieve Daluo up close, and he could feel a supreme power unlike that of the Taiyi Golden Immortal gathering upon Daoist Duobao.

Even though he, at present, was not inferior to Daluo in physical body, Primordial Spirit, or Mana, as long as his Dao Fruit had not transformed, he would fundamentally differ from Daoist Duobao. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Indeed!"

The Tongtian Sect Master watched Daoist Duobao and couldn’t help but admire: "You must be the first disciple among the three teachings to break through and blossom with Ninth Grade in Daluo!"

Then, he looked forward to Xuanqing and said, "I hope you can be the second one!"

"I shall not fail my teacher’s expectations!"

Xuanqing smiled and then congratulated Daoist Duobao, saying, "Congratulations, Daoist Duobao! Once Daluo is proven, it’s proven forever, from now on you’re beyond the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements!"

For them, the direct disciples of the Saints, Daluo was not the end; rather, it was a new starting point—with higher realms awaiting their climb.

Daluo was not such a difficult task!

The Tongtian Sect Master laughed, "You two, don’t forget the promise you made to the Heavenly Dao. If you can’t fulfill it, I’ll have trouble explaining to the Heavenly Dao!"

"Yes!"

Daoist Duobao immediately responded, "Disciple will set off now to manage the East Sea Water Vein!"

Having said this, he returned the few Spiritual Treasures he had borrowed from Xuanqing to their original owner. He had already absorbed their mystical auras and had no further need to keep these Spiritual Treasures.

Xuanqing also spoke up in agreement.

Although he had the incarnation of the Plague God, and didn’t need to take action himself, he still prepared to experience what it would take to cleanse the Poison Miasma Land.

He left Golden Turtle Island once again.

However, before leaving, he carefully examined the "Treasure Coin" and discovered that this Innate Spiritual Treasure seemed to have undergone some changes.

"Trade!"

"Causality!"

Xuanqing thoughtfully said, "Using a vessel to carry the Dao, trading with the Heavenly Dao to earn Merit and fortune is the correct use for this Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! If it is only used to take other people’s Spiritual Treasures, it would be settling for the inferior path!"

He had acquired the "Treasure Coin" for quite some time, but due to the side effect of consuming his own fortune, he dared not use it lightly until he understood the essence of Merit, and then he uncovered the marvelous uses of this treasure.

Of course, even having the Tongtian Sect Master vouch for him today and making an agreement with the Heavenly Dao was just a trial; he wasn’t ready to spread this method widely yet.

Because there were still risks involved.

Moreover, having the Tongtian Sect Master vouch would also consume the Sect Master’s credibility.

The contracts he and Daoist Duobao made with the Heavenly Dao were within their abilities to fulfill, but other people might not have the same capability as these two.

He needed a foundation that could be widely promoted, at least allowing the majority of Cultivators to participate.

For instance, specializing in developing a Spell or Divine Skill to cleanse poisonous mists or purge land of evil Qi.

Only when many benefited would he be able to guide public sentiment and change the momentum of the Heavenly Dao!
