The Recuperate Pearl, his own divine power foundation, and the push of the dragon breath to merge with his own dragon breath, these were all critical elements to help Qin Wushuang achieve the breakthrough.
Initially when Qin Wushuang broke into the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary Stage at the ordeal island of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, he had already begun to intentionally strengthen his comprehension of the Supreme Dao.
In this one year, Qin Wushuang spent a lot of time through meditation to comprehend the Supreme Dao.
Therefore, Qin Wushuang made sufficient enough homework to prepare his comprehension of the Supreme Dao.
As if he had the experience of the Supreme Dao before a dozen of previous generations of reincarnations, Qin Wushuang was incredibly familiar and natural during this breakthrough process.
Qin Wushuang knew that although the Supreme Dao Stage was high in the air, in fact it was only an extension to those stages from beneath.
It’s core would not change, but the comprehension and the usage of natural power would. To speak honestly, the power produced by martial artists themselves was limited.
The difference was in the ability to control the power of nature.
After they entered the Supreme Dao Stage, the control of natural power would become even more crucial. Each Supreme Dao elite warrior would have their own Supreme Dao element.
In ordinary senses, each Supreme Dao elite warrior would only possess one form of element. For the other portion, it was possible to possess two to three different kinds.
However, the majority of martial artists, despite those possessing many different forms of elements, they might not have the talent to exploit it. It was because after entering the Supreme Dao Stage, it would be extremely difficult to train. It was extremely difficult to train one form of Supreme Dao element, not to mention giving consideration for two or more things.
Initially when Qin Wushuang was training, he realized that he was different than others. For other martial artists, they would possess one or two forms of elements. However, he had all five elements.
Of course, Qin Wushuang knew that this was related to the five colored divine light baptism of the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation. After his divine light baptism, he also received a completely new change.
“The heaven has given me the opportunity to have all five elements. When I train for the Supreme Dao Stage, I must also show consideration for all five different elements and work at them equally. If not, I will have let down the blessing from the gods.” Qin Wushuang thought of it this way. He knew clearly that it would not have been without reason since that divine light baptism gave him the opportunity to have five elements together.
Therefore, he decided that after entering the Supreme Dao Stage, even if he were to slow down, he must train these five elements together.
Naturally, Qin Wushuang had his reason for making such a plan. Across the heaven and nature, the most basic five elements were these five ancient attributes.
The five ancient attributes were the foundation that formed all beings of the world.
When training five attributes together, it could be said as having thoroughly comprehended the origin of nature. When grasping one element among the five attributes, in the end it could be said as having grasped the rules. One could follow the rules and to some extent, step on top of the rules. Possessing just a single element would never allow one to place above the rules themselves completely, not to mention creating new rules.
Although Qin Wushuang had yet to enter the Supreme Dao Stage, he already had a clear understanding of this hidden knowledge. Combined with some of his understanding and insights gained from the knowledge of the Daoist of his former world had about the universe and nature, it gradually caused Qin Wushuang to not just be satisfied with the pursuit of Skill. Instead, it slowly climbed its way to skill for Dao. Following the continuous upgrade of his strength, in one day, the training of Skill would become the end and the comprehension of Dao would occupy the mainstream position.
Supreme Dao, endless Supreme Dao.
The word Dao was not said without thought. Initially, Dao was above Skill. If people competed for Skill when beneath the Supreme Dao Stage, when at the Supreme Dao Stage, people would be competing against the Dao for their own elements.
At this aspect, Qin Wushuang was not the slightest unduly humble.
He knew that his comprehension of the Dao would not be inferior. One could even say that he possessed great qualifications. Of course, although the competition of Dao was important at the Supreme Dao Stage, the other aspects were equally important.
“Regarding how the origin of the universe was formed, this was the original Dao. I am afraid that no one could explain it clearly besides those existences at the initial period of the primordial world. The operation and the variability of the universe is a form of Dao and can be considered the operation Dao for heaven and earth. For example, the operation of space, the change of the four seasons, and the change of the weather. The natural changes such as wind, thunder, lightning, and rain could be said as the operation Dao. The growth of a tree, the change from one drop of water, the process from a torch of fire from getting ignited to getting put out, the variability from hammering a piece of iron into a sword, to the extent where even the movements of the blue sea turning into mulberry fields, all the little details of everything are a form of Dao. In terms of a broad sense, Dao was extremely complicated, indescribable by words, only to be comprehended and not spoken. In terms of a narrow sense, it could be shown in every little detail…”
Countless thoughts stepped to arrive in Qin Wushuang’s head. Like the whistling beach, one thought after the other washed over him.
Each time when it washed over, it seemed that an extra sense of inspiration emerged from Qin Wushuang’s head. Countless images flashed across his head, scene after scene.
Numerous fragments from his previous incarnation and current life kept rushing out.
Yet, these segments were like the cold breeze brushing past as it could no longer arouse a single ripple from Qin Wushuang’s mind. In the moment of being absent-minded, Qin Wushuang was like a wood statue for there were no longer the slightest emotions.
At this moment, suddenly a flash of divine light emerged from Qin Wushuang’s head. All the thoughts, all the images shot out suddenly like an exploding volcano.
Deep inside his soul, there was a ball of magic ascending slowly. This ball of magical things seemed to be congealed by the divine soul that shed his mortal body to become his primordial spirit.
Divine light kept flowing out from Qin Wushuang’s body; however, currently he was unaware of it. If there was a mirror in front of him, he would certainly be surprised.
It was because outside his body, there contained a layer of faint divine light that appeared incredibly holy. It dispersed five different colors and indeed, it was of the same origin of the five colored divine light he went through at the Seven Deadly Arrays Formation.
“Supreme Dao…”
The corner of Qin Wushuang’s mouth twitched slightly. He mumbled with a whisper, “So the Supreme Dao is like this…”
He felt that divine soul inside his body for it was gradually becoming clearer. Qin Wushuang could almost feel that a vivid life form had integrated with his body. Yet, it was also an independent life form that was getting nurtured and taking form.
“So this is the Divine Soul! Indeed, it’s a different stage different from the Primordial Spirit. Regardless of how powerful the Primordial Spirit, in the end it was a brush of formless mass spiritual perception, the soul that could not be seen through the core. This divine soul was like a baby. Although it fluttered, it was an existence that could be sensed clearly.”
Qin Wushuang slightly checked into his Dantian. Five streams of air of martial arts power formed into a strange network of blood vessels and moved along in his body.
“It seems that I do have the five elemental divine blood vessels!” Qin Wushuang was unable to contain his joy. He slowly opened his eyes.
An astonished expression emerged from his face. The familiar five colored lights inside his body seemed to be like a baptism as it also molded perfectly to his appearance.
Outside the body, the corporeal body also secreted countless impurities that could not be discarded to help him achieve the genuine change of turning a new leaf!
Qin Wushuang slowly exercised restraint of these five colored lights. He also exercised a few circles of Supreme Dao stream inside his body. By doing this, he became proficient at it.
In this case, it took him two or three days to adjust.
When six days passed, Qin Wushuang finally got up. He bathed his body well and changed into a new set of clothes. Instantly, he was glowing with health and vigor.
Qin Wushuang felt incredibly joyous as he mumbled from the corner of his mouth, “He Ziniu, I let you wait long enough.”
At the same time, he sent out his voice, “Ai Simo, Engulfing Sky, and Dark Mysterious, come in.”
Ai Simo was the first one to jump in and she scuttled on Qin Wushuang’s body. She arched at him and appeared incredibly close. She kept calling out, “Chun’er, Chun’er.”
In the dragon tongue, “Chun’Er” meant daddy. Although Qin Wushuang was used to hearing it, he still found it somewhat uncomfortable as he laughed mischievously. “Little one, you should call me daddy directly, I really am not used to you calling me that…”
Ai Simo slightly frowned her exquisite nose and gave a wry face.
Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon and Dark Mysterious Snake both said with great joy, “Congratulations on entering the Supreme Dao Stage, Master!”
Qin Wushuang was also in a great mood. “You guys have worked hard in these past few days! Since I’ve entered the Supreme Dao Stage, it also means that the day for you guys to gain your freedom is getting closer.”
“You are so considerate, Master.”
At this moment, Mi Jia also arrived outside the door like a bursting whirlwind. Before she came in, her voice traveled through, “Young Wushuang, it seems that you’ve achieved the breakthrough?”
She pushed the door open and when she saw Qin Wushuang, Mi Jia was clearly stunned. Like the first time when she saw him, she sized him up from head to toe.
“What are you looking at?” Qin Wushuang almost got goosebumps when she looked at him.
“Is it really you?” Mi Jia found it really strange. The current Qin Wushuang showed too much difference than the previous one.
“Rubbish, who else would it be if not me?”
“This is your true identity, you didn’t wear your mask, right?” Mi Jia asked again.
“Is this very important?”
“It’s very important.” Mi Jia nodded seriously. “If this is your original face, I must say you are a handsome guy. It’s much better looking than the previous expressionless one.”
“Stop speaking so much nonsense, how’s the situation with the Rising Sun City in these few days?”
“Besides having more hostility, it’s more than less the same. There are two things to tell you, one good, one bad. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Qin Wushuang said lightly, “The good one.”
“The good news is that the weather is getting close to clearing up in the Rushing Current Valley. However, I am worried that you won’t be in the mood to go after you hear the bad news.”
“What bad news?” Qin Wushuang’s heart squeezed.
“Recent information says that at the door of the Coiled Dragon Royal Mansion, your secular Stargaze Palace, two disciples were captured. Most likely, this was done by the Heavenly Emperor Gate.”
“What?” Indeed, Qin Wushuang was astonished. He opened his eyes widely and vicious lights emerged from his eyes. He clenched his fists and let out a gurgling sound. With a low voice, he asked, “Who are the missing ones? Do you have any information on this?”
“There are names, yet I don’t know exactly who they are. They are called something like Wei Yi and Zhao Muzhi. This time, the Coiled Dragon Mansion is losing great face, ha ha.” When Mi Jia talked about the Coiled Dragon Mansion, she couldn’t help but take joy in someone else’s misfortune. Then immediately she realized that it seemed somewhat inappropriate as she covered her mouth embarrassingly.
Qin Wushuang’s complexion turned even more unsightly. “Heavenly Emperor Gate… Heavenly Emperor Gate, you have invited death to your front door!”
