Dingyun Lake Manor, in the lake water.

Since returning to Flame Dragon, Jiang Chen plunged into the water, floating in front of the space rift on the cliff beneath the manor.

Dragon Saint and others all settled in Dingyun Lake Villa, quietly waiting for Jiang Chen to emerge.

When Jiang Chen returned, he instructed them that he had discovered something that might be beneficial in dealing with the space rift, so all the peak powerhouses waited at Dingyun Lake Manor.

Under the lake water.

Jiang Chen's body emanated mysterious waves, his eyes slightly closed, a hint of puzzlement and suspicion on his face.

In his Sea of Consciousness, his Divine Soul held the Holy Dragon Divine Sword, carefully observing it.

"This sword... why does it feel inferior to the Bi Xiao Sword?"

The Divine Soul's face was filled with confusion: "Lord Ancestral Dragon's Divine Sword is inferior to Ling Qiuyan's rascal sword? Impossible, right?"

Filled with doubt, Jiang Chen began studying the set of cultivation techniques and sword moves that appeared in his mind after the Holy Dragon Divine Sword was reassembled.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Swish!

When Jiang Chen's consciousness touched the cultivation technique, an image appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

Hmm? This is...

Looking at the kind old man who appeared before him, Jiang Chen's Divine Soul showed a hint of confusion.

"Child, you've finally reached this step!"

The kind old man fixed his gaze on Jiang Chen, a gentle smile in his eyes: "By the time you see me, the Holy Dragon Divine Sword should have reunited. Don't rush to know who I am; that's not important. What's crucial is that you should have already condensed the True Dragon Martial Spirit!"

"Child, remember, the True Dragon Martial Spirit is the foremost Martial Soul in the world. Its abilities are beyond your imagination. As you continue cultivating, you'll realize that the powers of the True Dragon Martial Spirit are merely the tip of the iceberg!"

"Your appearance is both coincidence and inevitability. Your mission is to live well. Don't listen to those who say you live to protect this or that. You don't need to care about those things; just be yourself!"

"I've left this image to tell you: the world, is based on living beings; living beings, are based on oneself. Don't think too much; clarity within is the true path for a Martial Artist!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Chen paused, frowning slightly.

Initially, he thought the old man was a humanoid image left by Ancestral Dragon, but after hearing the old man's words, he dismissed the guess, for the old man's words seemed to contradict those of Dragon Saint and Ancestral Dragon.

"Child, this set of cultivation techniques, was the most satisfying one I completed with all my life's effort. Unfortunately, by the time I finished it, before I could cultivate it, some accidents occurred!"

"Luckily, you appeared; otherwise, this cultivation technique would have been buried! Only those with True Dragon Martial Spirit can practice this technique!"

"This cultivation technique is called 'The Tome of Dao'. It's not a cultivation technique but rather a supportive technique. Cultivators train both body and heart but eventually switch to cultivating the path and the world's Great Dao. This technique was born because of Dao!"

"The Tome of Dao?! Quite a boast!"

Jiang Chen paused, as from Li Yuan, he knew cultivators practice the world's Great Dao after reaching the Divine Infant Realm. Yet, this old man dared name his cultivation technique 'The Tome of Dao', this...

Could this cultivation technique be the root of countless Great Dao?!

Jiang Chen shook his head amusedly, not believing it, yet he didn't hinder listening further.

After all, the 'Blood Fiend Heavenly Dragon Art' he practiced seemed capped at Saint Realm Peak, without insights into the world's Great Dao, preventing further cultivation after the Divine Infant Realm. This should be what Li Yuan referred to as the true Spirit Martial Warrior of a certain realm.

Yet the old man stated 'The Tome of Dao' is a technique that can only be cultivated by condensing True Dragon Martial Spirit, hinting it as 'Blood Fiend Heavenly Dragon Art's successor. However, the leap is quite significant!

"Possessing the True Dragon Martial Spirit, you can innately comprehend the Spatial Path, while the Holy Dragon Divine Sword serves as a carrier for thousands of Daos."

The old man's image continued:

"However, the Martial Dao World is filled with powerhouses. Where there are powerhouses, there's war; where there's war, there's plunder. To prevent others from targeting you, I've placed several seals within the Holy Dragon Divine Sword."

"Currently, the Holy Dragon Divine Sword is merely an artifact grade, but its toughness is unrivaled in the world!"

"Once you comprehend the Spatial Path, you can unlock the first seal. When the seal opens, the Divine Sword will evolve into a Spiritual Artifact. When you comprehend another path, the second seal can be unlocked, allowing the sword to evolve into a Treasure Artifact. The third seal requires you to condense the Divine Infant and use Primordial Spirit Power to integrate the Martial Soul's power to unlock. By then, the sword can evolve into a Spiritual Treasure."

"Each stage of the Divine Sword will be the top grade of that stage. Child, whether the Holy Dragon Divine Sword can restore its original might depends on your own efforts!"

The old man seemed just a mere image, continuing to speak without considering Jiang Chen's reactions.

Jiang Chen's Divine Soul glanced at the Holy Dragon Divine Sword in hand, showing a hint of contemplation.

The Holy Dragon Divine Sword turned out to be in its sealed form, no wonder it felt inferior to the Bi Xiao Sword, yet...

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, his lips slightly curled; it's a good cultivation motivation! This is rumored to be Lord Ancestral Dragon's sword; what will its final form be?

"Child, the 'Holy Dragon Sword Technique' within the sword was originally something I didn't want to leave you, as it was created by me and aligned with myself. However, considering the absence of a good sword technique, you couldn't survive in this ruthless cultivation world, I left it."

"Remember, while sword techniques are important, the most crucial is always one's own insight! This sword technique allows you to understand a sword path, and this is the last thing I can leave for you!"

"Child, the future path requires you to walk yourself. Remember, any mission is not important, the important thing - is the true heart. What your true heart is, is what it is. Follow your true heart; that's the true path for a Martial Artist!"

Swish!

After speaking, the old man's image transformed into a ray of light and dispersed.

Jiang Chen paused, blinking, and began reviewing 'The Tome of Dao' cultivation technique again.

"This... is truly a supportive technique, but... it seems it can invoke the Dao, this is completely a cultivation technique prepared for comprehending Dao!"

After reading the cultivation technique, Jiang Chen pursed his lips; seems after reaching the Divine Infant Realm, one still needs to find another cultivation technique to practice. Otherwise, merely comprehending Dao without advancing realms is also a problem!

During the extermination of Yunpiao Sect, Jiang Chen acquired several cultivation techniques seemingly suitable for Divine Infant Realm cultivation, but he didn't keep them, giving them all to You Xuan, Dragon Saint, and others.

These cultivation techniques, as those reserved by Yunpiao Sect, aren't top-notch. His realm is still quite far from the Divine Infant Realm, not rushing to cultivate.
