NOVPUBAnd the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, is just some of the residual influence left over from that Law Assembly, which manifests in this world in a special way through the long river of history."
Startled, Shen Yuan listened intently.
His knowledge about the All-Worlds Luotian Convention came only from Xu Guan, who was just one of the Nine Phoenix Guard and didn’t even have the qualification to enter the convention, so the information he knew was naturally incomplete.
It wasn’t until Ji Zhaoyang spoke that Shen Yuan realized the convention involved more than just a simple Taoism impartation and preaching.
The Law Assembly that spanned three thousand years across the long river of history, creating a Law Assembly of a multitude of immortals and gods, and even just some residual influence was enough to bring about earth-shattering changes.
"Actually, regarding the information about the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, even the Great Yin Imperial Family’s records are not extensive, there is the powerful influence of Tao’s Way Great Exalted One inside the convention, and ordinary means simply cannot retain information from it.
The various big grotto heavens blessed lands and successive Human Emperor Dynasties only barely retained some information through some special means."
"The location where the All-Worlds Luotian Convention is held is not in the Primal Chaos Realm, but rather in a vast world opened up by the Great Tao True Words during the time when the Great Exalted One preached Taoism.
In that nascently opened world, some Land of Taoism Impartation retains the Great Tao True Words from the time the Exalted One preached, deciphering the nature of Land of Taoism Impartation allows one to grasp the Great Tao True Words within, thereby stepping onto the path of Tao at once."
However, deciphering the Land of Taoism Impartation for ordinary beings is still too remote, and more people focus their attention on those treasures within that nascent world which have been tainted by the Great Tao True Words."
"Some of these treasures are natural exotic treasures suitable for Taoist artifacts, Immortal Artifacts, while others are Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures containing Tao that need forging to bring out the Tao rhythms within.
Many Taoist artifacts, Immortal Artifacts in the Primal Chaos Realm come from the vast world opened by the All-Worlds Luotian Convention.
Even the body of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda originated from a Primal Chaos Stone tainted by the Great Tao True Words in the Luotian Convention, and it transformed into the most precious immortal tool after being nurtured by the Primal Chaos Realm."
In his words, Ji Zhaoyang’s eyes could not help but show a hint of envy and admiration.
Inside the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, there indeed was an abundance of opportunities, and obtaining any one of them could propel someone to the heavens in a single step.
However, these were not the main concern for him; his true purpose was self-preservation.
Pausing slightly, Ji Zhaoyang looked at Shen Yuan and added:
"Of course, if you think that the All-Worlds Luotian Convention is simply a land brimming with opportunities, that would be a huge mistake.
There seem to be some unknown secrets within the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, and many outstanding powerful experts have entered and vanished without a trace."
"Forty thousand years ago, the direct descendant of a Heavenly Immortal who ascended participated in the All-Worlds Luotian Convention, only to perish within. When that Upper Realm Heavenly Immortal tried to investigate the cause, he also fell quietly due to some unknown reason. Since then, no one dared to interfere with matters of the All-Worlds Luotian Convention."
"Fellow Taoist Shen ranks among the top participants in the convention, but you also need to be cautious in your conduct."
A glint of understanding flickered in Shen Yuan’s eyes, and he nodded in response, "I am certainly aware of this."
"However, I still have something I don’t understand. Is the Third Imperial Prince able to enlighten me?"
"Please feel free to ask."
"If the All-Worlds Luotian Convention is essentially a vast world opened up by the Great Exalted One during his time preaching Tao, then what exactly is the purpose of these so-called quotas?"
Ji Zhaoyang chuckled lightly: "Actually, entering the All-Worlds Luotian Convention does not require any threshold, but ordinary cultivators who step into it will only be assimilated by the Tao.
These quotas are the karma laws bestowed by Upper Realm Immortals, with the purpose of stabilizing a cultivator’s True Spirit and preventing assimilation by the Tao. Without these karma laws, it would be difficult to take even a single step."
"Besides, the All-Worlds Luotian Convention does not restrict cultivators who step into it, but the karma laws bestowed by Upper Realm Immortals can only protect those cultivators at the level of True Monarch and below.
Those who have reached the Tao Harmony Taoist Doyen level have already touched the Tao, and the risk of assimilation is too high. Even with karma laws, it’s difficult to protect them."
Shen Yuan had a moment of clarity, but he felt that there were some issues he hadn’t noticed yet.
Before Shen Yuan could further ponder, a Flight of Light flew back overhead in the outside sky, returning the attendant who had gone to the Imperial Scripture Depository.
The attendant strode into the courtyard and respectfully presented Ji Zhaoyang with a wooden storage box.
The seemingly ordinary dark wood box was carved from the fifth-tier Spirit Wood, Mount Sumeru Wood, which is a natural storage magical treasure, with a space it created being able to ensure ten thousand years of preservation.
The attendant presented the wooden box and then voluntarily stepped back. Ji Zhaoyang placed the wooden box in front of Shen Yuan with a light chuckle, saying,
"Actually, I am not ashamed to admit to Fellow Taoist Shen that since its establishment for tens of thousands of years, the Great Yin has always lacked inheritance that could support the foundation other than the Mortal Emperor’s position. Therefore, previous Mortal Emperors have collected many Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Methods.
Some were taken by force from grotto heavens blessed lands, and others were obtained through trades with these lands. Many of them are unique volumes that have never appeared in the outside world, with nearly half of the cultivation methods for Earthly Destroyer Divine Power in the Primal Chaos Realm collected there.
Regrettably, over tens of thousands of years, the forces that inherited the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power have remained steadfast, and the Great Yin has failed to gain anything from them.
On the contrary, we acquired the Disaster Averting Divine Power, ranked fifty-third among the Earthly Destroyers, during the campaigns against the various realms. It is now the hereditary method of the Sky Divination Bureau."
He opened the wooden box, revealing well-preserved ancient books and bamboo strips before Shen Yuan’s eyes.
Shen Yuan casually picked up a bamboo strip, and saw a familiar name written on it, "Taiping Fu Art".
This cultivation method was passed down from the Maoshan Blessed Land, ranked first among the 72 Blessed Lands, corresponding to the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Water Talisman. Shen Yuan had once purchased a volume from the All-Things Trade Association.
Unfortunately, even after ten thousand years, the Maoshan Blessed Land’s heritage remained, and the Talisman Water Divine Power still had a master.
He felt a bit of regret, but since this was only the first volume of the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method, Shen Yuan didn’t pay it too much mind.
Setting down the bamboo strip, Shen Yuan picked up an antique-looking scroll inscribed with the bold and powerful words, "Spiritually Traversing the Great Void".
Shen Yuan sighed with relief, confirming that this was a cultivation method for the Earthly Destroyer Divine Power that he had never obtained before.
Ji Zhaoyang began to explain,
"’Spiritually Traversing the Great Void’ corresponds to the Divine Skills of Teleportation, ranked seventeenth among the Earthly Destroyers. It is said to originate from the projection techniques of Primordial Spirits in the various realms and is currently the hereditary method from one of the 36 Little Grotto Heavens, the Grand Profound Great Kang Heaven.
Once mastered, one can traverse the various realms and wander the void with one’s Primordial Spirit, which is a supreme method."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan looked somewhat disappointed.
The Grand Profound Great Kang Heaven was still one of the 36 Little Grotto Heavens in later times. Even when challenging Emperor Xia for the throne, the Grand Profound Great Kang Heaven had sent powerful experts into the Imperial Capital. The inheritance of this Divine Skills of Teleportation very likely hadn’t been interrupted.
Divine Skills are good, but they can’t be put to use for oneself.
He picked up another ancient book, inscribed with "Summoning Deities Invoking Immortals".
"This Earthly Destroyer Divine Power Cultivation Method corresponds to the Summon Immortals Divine Power, ranked twenty-fifth among the Earthly Destroyers, and is a divination technique for invoking Immortals through planchette writing.
It is now inherited by one of the 36 Little Grotto Heavens, the Yuque Baogui Heaven."
The Yuque Baogui Heaven was still one of the 36 Little Grotto Heavens in the future, and the inheritance of the Summon Immortals Divine Power was very likely not lost either.
Setting aside this ancient book, Shen Yuan picked up another one called "10 Realms Soul Pursuit".
"This method corresponds to the Soul Pursuit Divine Power, ranked twenty-sixth among the Earthly Destroyers. It is a curse-killing technique that can transcend mountains and seas once cast, and can kill in any of the Ten Realms. It is one of the inherited Divine Powers from the Little Clarity Void Heaven."
Shen Yuan’s expression took on an odd look, as the Little Clarity Void Heaven had once set up a 10 Realms Soul Pursuit altar for him, which he ultimately avoided by returning to ten thousand years earlier.
Ten thousand years later, the Little Clarity Void Heaven still existed, and this Divine Power had not discontinued its inheritance in later times.
"That impostor Clarity Void Exalted One has taken charge of the Little Clarity Void Heaven, and when it makes a move against me, it might utilize the power of the Little Clarity Void Heaven.
This Earthly Destroyer curse-killing Divine Power might be used as one of the opponent’s trump cards, which I have to guard against."
However, even if the Little Clarity Void Heaven again erected a ritual altar, Shen Yuan would not harbor any fear.
Possessing the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power, the source of the curse-killing path, he may not use this path to ascend to the Highest Heaven, but suppressing a mere Soul Pursuit Divine Power is an effortless task. Shen Yuan had long since stopped fearing the Soul Pursuit Divine Power.
Once again setting aside the ancient book, Shen Yuan casually picked up a beautifully woven golden thread scroll.
The moment his fingertips touched the scroll, the dormant Gods Purging Divine Power within Shen Yuan suddenly trembled, as if the radiance of the Great Sun was about to revive on his Great Tao Manifestation.
Shen Yuan quickly suppressed the disturbance in his Great Tao Manifestation, his gaze falling upon the golden thread scroll, where five bold characters were inscribed.
"10 Suns Immersion Technique"!
