Ascending Immortal Island, within the Star Aperture Source Qi.
Tao Qian, who had subdued two entities and learned the Secret Technique, was digesting the cultivation experience his Master had gifted him.
While digesting, he also marveled at the profundity of the Divination Technique and the Ten Thousand Treasure Secret, weighing their importance.
"Ten Thousand Treasure Secret!"
"This skill seems almost born for my Master, only one like him with an indescribable obsession with treasures could cultivate this Magic Skill to a realm that even Heavenly Venerates cannot compare."
"In the end, he even broke free from the thought of 'getting all treasures,' opting instead for 'abandoning all treasures,' doing Corpse Disintegration on his Demon Body, leaving only a few treasures from his entering the Dao days to reincarnate and cultivate anew... When his Reincarnation Body returns, he will surely leap to an even higher realm."
"This Secret Technique, I can cultivate it, but it need not be my main Divine Skill. It is sufficient to cultivate it to a realm worth glimpsing."
This thought arose, and Tao Qian seemed to realize something.
He paused momentarily, then suddenly said:
"Come to think of it, although I now master many Magic Skills, cultivating Three Meridians simultaneously, and although my realm power is not low, I indeed have no main cultivation skill."
"One reason is my lazy and greedy nature, and the other is that karma has not yet arrived."
"Now, karma has arrived."
"This Divination Technique interests me greatly, I shall cultivate diligently."
Tao Qian is now genuinely a Great Divine Power, though he does not quite look the part, he truly is.
A Great Master has inherent spiritual intuition.
The related Record of the Divination Technique emerged, and he immediately felt moved, deciding to cultivate earnestly.
He really enjoys relying on the "absolute information gap" to bully enemies, which is three parts more exhilarating than direct magical combat.
When these thoughts settled, Tao Qian had already digested Duobao True Monarch's lifetime experience.
Meanwhile, the last bit of doubt in his heart was resolved.
"No wonder Master was unwilling to sit idly for eight hundred years for peaceful cultivation tribulation, now I see this method may not necessarily succeed."
"Without external disturbances, eight hundred years is not considered long."
"Unfortunately, half of Master's Ten Thousand Treasures come from inside the realm, while the remaining half was plundered from the Great Abyss Origin Sea, naturally offending many enemies outside the realm in the process, including divine spirits, sea demons, and other beings."
"Compared to those divine spirits and demons, figures like Xiu Zhonglin and Lingwa are practically insignificant. Though he could resolve the karmic debt of all treasures inside the realm, the ones outside were too difficult."
"Master, due to cultivating two skills, has excessive obsession, numerous mortal enemies... If he does not sever these karmic debts, and cultivates anew in penury, let alone eight hundred years, even were a single divine spirit to decide to trouble him, even eight thousand years might not suffice."
"Lesson from past mistakes, heed Master's warnings, treasures that suffice are enough, do not be too greedy."
Tao Qian withdrew his powerful Dharma Image, dissipated his Three Meridian Divine Abilities, restoring the appearance of an extraordinarily handsome, and pure-hearted young Daoist, heading toward the secret passage.
Before leaving, he glanced at the Star Aperture filled with Source Qi, muttering to himself:
"Because of the Human Dao Destiny, I was spared the pain of the Three Stages of Ultimate Happiness, but cannot be exempt from the 'Dao Nightmare' matter."
"It is fine, everyone else has found where their Dao lies, only I remain in chaos and confusion."
"Perhaps this opportunity will fall on the Dao Nightmare."
Though there were some minor fluctuations, it ultimately allowed Tao Qian to cultivate with ease.
After thanking the Spirit Marrow Lady, he stepped out of the Star Membrane Secret Realm.
Just as he was closing the bronze portal, he suddenly noticed his Ascending Immortal Island had become bustling, seeing numerous aunts each leading disciples and maids, bringing along various strange flowers and herbs, Immortal Mountain stones, pavilions... It seemed they began decorating the Immortal Island for him.
Seeing this scene, he immediately speculated happily: "Could it be the wedding date is set."
The thought had barely settled when a person suddenly appeared before him.
This aunt's divine skill is indeed astonishing, even with Tao Qian's current realm and Dao Heng, he could only discern a few details.
Perhaps due to handling a wedding affair, Aunt Ma Yi appeared increasingly benevolent, always wearing a smile.
Appearing, she smiled and said to Tao Qian:
"I have already discussed all chapters with Daoist Taizhen, the auspicious day is set for seven days hence."
"Although a bit rushed, it is indeed a moment not to be missed, offering a wonderful benefit for you as the groom."
"Since your entry into the Dao and cultivation, you have been busy and rarely had leisure."
"Now that you are in the Realm of Ultimate Happiness, with a lifespan over a thousand years, it is fitting to set aside burdens and embrace a beautiful lady, enjoying a few years of carefree joyous times."
Tao Qian heard these words, and immediately smiled.
Nodding repeatedly, he replied: "I have long desired this, after overcoming the tribulation, upon entering the Realm of Ultimate Happiness, it seems it was fate, I need not pursue the Ultimate Happiness, but seek only peace and joy."
Ma Yi nodded in comfort, and was about to turn and leave. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Suddenly she seemed to recall something, looking at the place where he held the Yuan Gong Statue.
Inspiration surged, red smoke billowed out, revealing Yuan Gong in form, who bowed and greeted:
"Ma Yi Daoist, is there something you wish to instruct?"
"Mr. Yuan Daoist, no need for formality, it is not instruction, merely a small matter to discuss with Daoist."
"It's nothing else, my junior brother sent word before his reincarnation saying Daoist not only wishes to serve as this child's personal teaching mentor with a body of remaining soul, but also gifted a complete Dao inheritance from the Secret Demon Sect, this child is a grateful one, though he has not expressed it verbally, he likely already agreed in his heart to contribute when he participates in the rebuilding of your Secret Demon Sect's Mountain Gate shortly."
"This matter was originally the karmic debt of you three master and disciple, I do not wish to interfere, but you should know, Daoist Taizhen commands the [Haotian Divine Mirror], that treasure can see through any matter effortlessly, discerning this karma, Daoist Taizhen clearly stated: repaying kindness and debts is right, only needing to wait some years, at least wait until Yunrong's child is born to discuss further."
