In the Heavenly Ocean Lake of Kunlun, Qin Hao sat cross-legged on the surface of the lake. Circles of ripples spread out under him, slowly moving into the distance.
Beside him, there was an extremely huge lotus. Its petals were open, and the white lotus shone on top of him. Endless divine light showered down, bathing his body.
The Heavenly Lake Flower Queen transformed into a fairy. She flapped her emerald green wings and flew beside Qin Hao. She held a tiny green scepter in her hand and kept waving it at Qin Hao, causing the divine water of the Heavenly Lake to flow into his body.
Qin Hao's face was slightly pale, and his breathing was a little chaotic. Just now, he had failed to mend the sky and used up a huge amount of Red Lotus Divine Power. He was greedily absorbing the Divine Will of the Heavenly Lake.
At this moment, it was as if he had become a part of the Heavenly Pool. He sat there quietly as if he was one with the pool. As the Flower Emperor continued to heal him, Qin Hao's body gradually rumbled with the will of the Great Path again. Waves of divine light cyclones rushed out and flew towards the sky above the Kunlun Sea. It was as if he wanted to merge with the Great Path.
Rumble!
Muffled sounds rang out in the void. Endless divine light swirled and once again converged into a spectacular vision. The airflow seemed to be opening up space from the Heavenly Path, making it contain the universe of the Great Path and giving birth to the power of space.
Divine light swept out from Qin Hao's body. The cyclones became denser and denser. They were like blinding lightning flashing in the sky, tearing everything apart. Those cracks did not last long and quickly closed up on their own, blocking Qin Hao's Divine Will outside.
"Enough."
A figure descended. Ziyin Clan Lord looked at the pale Qin Hao. He did not know whether to scold or praise him. He said, "Your Spatial Divine Power is not complete yet, and you can't reach the Heavenly Wheel. You want to merge with the Heavenly Path? Don't you have any self-awareness?"
"I just want to try and see."
Qin Hao looked up and smiled bitterly.
"That's enough. You've done enough. Cultivation isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. More haste, less speed. This is the case for martial arts and the Divine Dao. Your foundation is shallow, so there's no need to rush."
Ziyin reached his hand into his sleeve and took out a divine pellet. He opened his palm and the divine pellet flew towards Qin Hao. Qin Hao swallowed the divine pellet, and immediately, his limbs and bones were filled with a powerful energy. His Tian Lun glowed brightly, and his complexion gradually improved.
At this time, one figure after another flew over from the distance and landed on the Heavenly Lake. They were all the higher-ups of the Kunlun Sea. Xiao Han, Wuque, and the others were all here. Huan Zun also brought the people of the Chu Clan here.
"Greetings, Sect Leader."
Everyone said.
"Yes."
Ziyin nodded slightly and said to Qin Hao, "Do you feel better now?"
Qin Hao smiled awkwardly.
"This brat is too daring. As long as he has the slightest chance, he will directly make a move. He doesn't even look at his own cultivation. He is delusional to think that he can reverse the Heavenly Dao."
Master Lu said angrily.
"Just now, the God of Kunlun … was mending the sky?"
Chu Wen's heart trembled. No wonder for a moment, the Heavenly Dao seemed to have been reversed.
"He is too lacking. My father was the same back then. Both of them were not fully prepared."
Ziyin glanced at Qin Hao. "However, he has improved a lot in these years. He is about to condense the second divine power."
The space aura overflowing from Qin Hao was extremely strong. After all, he lived like a god every day. The resources of the Kunlun Sea were all given to him. He ate divine pellets, drank immortal jade, and smelled divine incense in his dreams. How could he not improve?
"It's all thanks to Senior Brother."
Qin Hao laughed and looked at Xiao Han and Wuque. He was not the only one. Xiao Han had been cultivating with Fairy Xu. In these years, he had stepped from the Peak of Enlightenment to the Flawless Emperor Path. The aura he emitted was obviously very close to "Nirvana". He had probably made sufficient preparations and only needed a slight opportunity to enter Nirvana.
This step was very difficult. It was the most difficult hurdle of the Emperor Path. As long as one crossed it, half of one's body would have entered the Divine Gate. If it was in the Divine Wilderness in the past, Xiao Han would not have been able to reach this level in just a few years.
Wuque was already at the seventh level of Nirvana. The power of faith was getting stronger and stronger. He was the closest to proving divinity.
Tang had also improved a lot. He was at the third level of Nirvana.
And all of this was inseparable from the abundant resources of the Kunlun Sea and the guidance of Taichu and the others.
"Dao will mending the sky. The Supreme Venerable did this back then. Amazing!"
Clan Leader Chu Wen was greatly shocked. He bowed to Ziyin Clan Lord.
Although Kunlun's Heavenly Dao gave birth to all things, it did not have any attributes. Everything depended on one's cultivation. When one lost the advantage of the Heavenly Dao, the speed of cultivation and understanding of Dao would naturally fall behind other planes.
For example, the Heavenly Dao did not contain Dao forces such as Sword Dao, Fire Dao, and Ice Dao. They had to rely on one's own comprehension and hard work to condense the Essence Soul.
This was the reason why the three Divine Path families rose. Their ancestors had comprehended the Great Dao of Fire first. After ten thousand years, they had honed the Dao of Fire to the extreme and passed it down from generation to generation. This created the glory of the three families.
Other forces were not as good as them.
It was because of this that the Supreme Venerable Zihua wanted to mend the sky and change Kunlun's attributes so that the common people would have better living conditions. As long as one attribute could be born in Kunlun, then everyone would be able to comprehend the Great Dao and be equal.
Lin Du, Ancestor Chu, and Qi Zu did not have this kind of breadth of mind.
"Changing the Heavenly Dao is not a secret. You will know sooner or later. Now, Chu San is shouldering the heavy responsibility. The future of Kunlun depends on his results."
Ziyin Clan Lord landed slowly and sat beside Qin Hao. The Flower Emperor danced around the two of them. It landed on Qin Hao's shoulder and sat on Ziyin's arm. It was quite cute.
Seeing this, everyone sat down. A group of Kunlun's big shots sat on the surface of the heavenly lake as if they were discussing Dao in a dojo.
"Chu San, how much do you know about the Divine Path?"
Ziyin asked. Qin Hao had learned a lot of Divine Powers and Spells over the years, but he seemed to be confused about the Immortal State. He often asked Ziyin for help.
"I don't know much about it. I only know that the cultivation of the Immortal State is related to the strength of faith. Also, it is related to the Heavenly Wheel and Divine Power. The Heavenly Wheel is divided into four grades: Mortal, Saint, Immortal, and Perfect. It is also known as Small Heavenly Wheel, Great Heavenly Wheel, Immortal Lord Heavenly Wheel, and Immortal King Heavenly Wheel."
Qin Hao told him everything he knew. He did not know much about the Immortal State because the highest cultivation in his previous life was only the Heavenly Wheel, which was the beginning of the Immortal State. Also, the Heavenly Wheel was not perfect. It was a Great Heavenly Wheel, and it was forged in the superior environment of the Immemorial Realm. Maybe its foundation was too weak.
Zhan Wu's situation was much better than Qin Hao's. He forged a Celestial Grade Heavenly Wheel, but it was not perfect. Therefore, when they were stranded in the Divine Wilderness, they had the idea of re-cultivating.
"The Heavenly Wheel is divided into four grades. This is the foundation and the condition to judge the innate foundation of the enemy. However, the true strength of the Immortal State is not completely determined by the Heavenly Wheel."
Ziyin explained.
Qin Hao nodded. It was true. In the battle at the Kunlun Sea, the grade of his Heavenly Wheel crushed the Forest Seedling. Even though he had mastered the Heavenly Way, he could not defeat his opponent. He found that the Forest Seedling's Divine Power was much stronger than his.
"Senior Ziyin, since the strength of the Immortal State is related to the Heavenly Wheel and Divine Power, why can't the high-grade Heavenly Wheel suppress the low-grade Heavenly Wheel sometimes?"
Wuque asked seriously.
"You can see the Heavenly Wheel as a container. The higher the grade, the greater the capacity. Divine Power is the quality. Often, the more Divine Power is injected into the Heavenly Wheel, the stronger the power it can unleash."
Ziyin said and looked at Master Lu and Taichu.
Then, Master Lu and Divine Lord Taichu released their Heavenly Wheels. They were both Great Heavenly Wheels of the sacred grade and their radiance was similar.
However, Qin Hao and Wuque felt that Master Lu's Divine Will was stronger. In comparison, Divine Lord Taichu was much weaker. It was completely imaginable that if they really fought, Divine Lord Taichu would not be Master Lu's opponent.
"How can this be?"
Wuque frowned. The same basic conditions, but Master Lu's Divine Will was stronger than Divine Lord Taichu.
"This is about 'cultivation.' Everyone in the Mortal World knows that in addition to the level of cultivation, the longer the cultivation time, the more precious the cultivation method and the stronger the strength. It's the same for the Immortal State, but under normal circumstances, it's difficult to distinguish the cultivation time of a Heavenly Wheel expert."
Ziyin Clan Lord's face became serious.
Everyone knew this in their hearts. After stepping into the Immortal State, one would have endless lifespan and would not enter the cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, even if one old and one young stood together, it was possible that the young would live longer than the old.
"Then how do we distinguish?"
Qin Hao asked.
"Chakra."
Ziyin Clan Lord pointed to their Heavenly Wheels. "Look carefully. This is the key to analyze the strength of your opponent in the future. If you encounter a Heavenly Wheel Divine Pattern with more than seven meridians in ten thousand years, don't think about anything and run immediately."
"Divine Pattern."
Qin Hao looked carefully. His Red Lotus Fiery Eyes flashed. Through the two bright Heavenly Wheels, he quickly found that there were lines on the edge of Master Lu's Heavenly Wheels.
Divine Lord Taichu's Heavenly Wheels also had lines on the edge.
Master Lu had two, and Divine Lord Taichu only had one.
"One Heavenly Wheel Divine Pattern represents ten thousand years of Divine Source, two for twenty thousand years. Do you understand this explanation?"
Ziyin Clan Lord's eyes fell on Qin Hao. Qin Hao's body involuntarily trembled. He swallowed and nodded heavily.
It turned out that there was such a secret hidden in the Heavenly Wheels.
One Divine Pattern represented ten thousand years of Divine Source. Then, Senior Brother said that those with more than seven Divine Patterns were all … Undying Old Monsters.
In that instant, Qin Hao and Wuque felt their scalps go numb. According to Zi Yin, even if a Mortal Grade Tian Lun had lived for 70,000 to 80,000 years, it could still kill an Immortal Grade Tian Lun by relying on its monstrous cultivation.
"To be exact, one Divine Pattern doesn't really have ten thousand years of cultivation. Look at yourself."
Master Lu pointed at Qin Hao. "As long as you enter the Divine Level, one Divine Pattern will appear. A thousand-year-old Divine Pattern is the same as a nine-thousand-year-old Divine Pattern. But after ten thousand years, a second Divine Pattern will appear. By the same logic, an 11,000-year-old Divine Pattern and a 19,000-year-old Divine Pattern both have two Divine Patterns. I just happened to be ten thousand years old, so two Divine Patterns have appeared."
"I've cultivated for six thousand years."
Divine Lord Taichu smiled and dispersed the Heavenly Wheel Divine Light.
Hiss!
Qin Hao and Wuque couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, they knew the secret of the Heavenly Wheel today. Otherwise, they might be careless and die in the hands of a small Heavenly Wheel someday.
"In this case, the Divine Pattern is the key to determining the strength of the Divine Level."
Xiao Han said.
"It's not that simple. The number of Divine Patterns represents the length of cultivation, which is also the level of cultivation. But the key to strength lies in the Heavenly Wheel and divine power. Innate conditions account for a huge proportion."
Ziyin Clan Lord looked at Qin Hao. "There are two kinds of divine power. One is the external divine power, and the other is the internal divine power. They come from different directions. You should know this."
Qin Hao nodded. Although Senior Brother didn't understand, he could guess that the external divine power was the belief given by all living beings. The internal divine power came from oneself and was the determination of oneself.
"When the internal divine power and the external divine power are combined, it will be born into the power that fills the Heavenly Wheel. Your rapid progress now largely comes from the external divine power of Kunlun."
Ziyin said the key point.
Qin Hao took over the Will of the Heavenly Path of Kunlun. Naturally, he became the belief of all living beings. Even the people present more or less provided a source of power for Qin Hao.
"Okay, let's stop talking about the Divine Level. In fact, there are many conditions that can determine one's combat power. For example, the True Dragon Roar and One Sword Seven Kills that you have obtained are the supreme divine techniques refined by the Divine Will of the Great Path of the Dragon Clan and the Sword Emperor. They are broad and profound and can also allow you to exert extremely strong power. Then you integrate them into your Heavenly Wheel and activate them with divine power.
Ziyin stood up and said to everyone, "Continue to cultivate. You still have a long way to go. It's not that easy to reverse the Will of the Heavenly Path of Kunlun. You need enough stability."
With that, Ziyin stepped forward and prepared to leave Heavenly Lake.
"Senior Brother, how did the Exalted Venerable One die?"
At this time, Qin Hao stood up and asked. Wuque, Xiao Han, and the people of the Chu Clan also trembled slightly. They stared at Ziyin's back. They all wanted to know the truth of the death of the Exalted Venerable One.
"Your current strength is far from enough. When you have condensed ten strands of divine power from the Heavenly Wheel and possess eight divine inscriptions, I will naturally tell you. Or …" Zi Yin abruptly turned around and stared at Qin Hao, "Or you can become a Divine King that controls the myriad worlds."
"Divine King."
Everyone stared at Qin Hao. This target was really not an ordinary big one.
