Shrouding the Sky: Creating Your Own Cultivation Technique at the Start

Chapter 32 Chaos Banner

Under the attack of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, the Fire Domain underwent a tremendous change. For the first time, a terrible gap appeared in the once perfect Fire Domain.

At this moment, the seven-colored flames in front of Lu Zhao were cleaved open by the sword light, and although the surrounding flames were spreading, it would take another three or four days to completely engulf the area. This time would be enough for him to get things done.

Lu Zhao rolled up the Dao Diagram and the Divine Mark Purple Gold, and rushed into the depths of the eighth layer of the Fire Domain, preparing to refine his own weapon.

This time, the artifact to be refined is not just the Chaos Banner.

The Yin-Yang diagram needs further refinement, and even the Immortal-Slaying Gourd needs to be reforged.

Lu Zhao continued to venture deeper into the eighth level of the fire domain, but before he even got close to the ninth level, he felt a terrifying temperature.

The ninth level of the fire domain is terrifying; its temperature is several times higher than that of the eighth level.

Lu Zhao had only reached the center of the eighth layer of the fire domain when he could no longer go any deeper, as he would be injured by the flames of the ninth layer.

This is enough; it's enough for Lu Zhao to activate the treasure refining process.

So over the next three days, Lu Zhao activated the Dao Diagram and the Divine Mark Purple Gold, completely refining the two treasures and finally condensing them into one, becoming a large purple-gold banner.

This is the Chaos Banner, also known as the Pangu Banner.

The entire banner was just over ten feet tall, and the banner surface was just over four feet five inches. At the same time, there seemed to be chaotic energy flowing around the center of the banner surface.

Although it is just a banner, it possesses extreme destructive power.

"The second artifact is finally complete. After completing the third artifact, I will continue to refine it so that they can merge and become a brand new artifact," Lu Zhao muttered to himself.

After retrieving his own artifact, Lu Zhao looked at the Immortal-Slaying Gourd again.

After this tempering, the surface of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd gleamed with a dark light, and it was many times better than its previous flawed state.

Especially inside the gourd, some principles have been completely corrected and perfected.

If a complete weapon spirit can be added, an ancient imperial weapon will surely reappear in the world.

"Don't rush into the battle spirit; we'll do it before the Yaochi Grand Gathering three months later." Lu Zhao decided to enter the Holy City again in three months.

He couldn't even switch away before because there was no way to store the soldier's soul.

If there is no suitable vessel, it cannot be placed in one's own vessel, otherwise the spirit of the weapon will merge into one's own vessel and become a deity within the weapon.

This way, he could acquire a deity faster, but as his cultivation level increased in the future, the weapon would automatically generate a deity, which would be a waste of the weapon's soul. He absolutely could not do such a thing.

The Soul of a Soldier is extremely precious, and cultivating it is very difficult.

Naturally, it should be used in the right place to perfect the imperial weapon in his hands.

Now he does want to cut it off, but not long ago he killed six holy sons, which must have already alarmed the six holy lands.

I'm afraid that there are people lying in ambush in the vicinity of the Holy City, in all six holy sites.

If he shows up with his own face, he probably won't get any benefit. If he transforms into someone else's appearance, he might be recognized. So it's best not to go for the time being.

It's not appropriate to rush into this now; let's wait until things calm down a bit.

As for this period of time, he decided to first collect the Nine Secrets, then comprehend their mysteries, and create his own secret techniques.

Of the nine secrets that Lu Zhao currently possesses, only the "Fight" secret and the "All" secret are available. The only secrets he can quickly obtain are the "Soldier" secret and the "Travel" secret.

As for the secret of the previous character, one must at least enter the Qishi Mansion to obtain it.

The Secret of the Journey is located at the Sacred Cliff in the Central Region. Entering it is extremely difficult; without the protection of a powerful figure, entering the Sacred Cliff is practically tantamount to suicide.

The relatively simpler one is the "Soldier" secret of Zhongzhou.

"Gai Jiuyou is located in the Qinling Mountains of Zhongzhou. That area not only has the Immortal Transformation Pool, but also the Military Secret of the Qin Clan. I must go to that place." Lu Zhao made his decision.

If we find Gai Jiuyou, things will be much simpler.

Then, we can invite Gai Jiuyou to help, and obtaining the Xingzi Secret will be very easy.

He sought out these nine secrets in order to broaden his horizons.

Then, by utilizing the effects of these nine secrets, one can create one's own secret techniques.

If one can obtain the Flying Immortal Technique, one can create even more secret techniques. By using various Great Daos to create secret techniques, one's mastery of the Great Dao will deepen.

This is a special kind of training he undergoes, which allows him to continuously tap into his potential.

As soon as Lu Zhao stepped out of the Fire Domain, he sensed a terrifying threat, as if someone was secretly watching him and planning to harm him.

This situation was so bizarre that he had to tense up.

When he investigated the Dao principles, he found that there were no enemies around, the surroundings were completely peaceful, and there were no other people's Dao principles.

At that moment, Lu Zhao instantly understood that his tribulation had arrived.

He absorbed many principles of Taoism during his battles within the Qixia Sect.

With the Dao principles he absorbed in the Fire Domain over the past month, Lu Zhao has reached the perfection of the second level of the Four Extremes and entered the third level of the Four Extremes.

Previously, due to the influence of the Fire Domain, the Heavenly Tribulation was delayed.

Now that he has left the Fire Domain, the Heavenly Tribulation descends, instantly enveloping Lu Zhao within it.

"I just happened to be refining the Chaos Banner, so I'll take advantage of this tribulation to temper it today." Lu Zhao looked up at the sky.

At this moment, terrifying lightning was already gathering in the sky.

A vast sea of ​​lightning condensed, completely engulfing Lu Zhao below.

Also submerged were the Chaos Banner and the Taiji Diagram in his hands. At this moment, under the terrifying lightning tribulation, the two weapons floated in the sea of ​​lightning and were being tempered by the tribulation.

The lightning tribulation lasted for an hour before gradually dissipating.

Having survived this tribulation and refined the Chaos Banner once more, he absorbed it into his body and nurtured it within his own Dao Palace.

However, after trying it out briefly, he still felt it wasn't quite right.

The Chaos Banner's power lies in its extreme offensive capabilities, but among the five major realms of the human body, the four extremes are the most prominent in terms of attack.

If we compare the human body to a universe, then the four poles represent the directions for opening up the universe.

Extreme destructive power is required to continuously expand the entire universe.

The Chaos Banner is formed from the blade of the Heaven-Opening Axe, symbolizing unparalleled offensive power, making it naturally more suitable for placement in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Another interpretation is that if the human body represents the universe, then the limbs and four poles represent four pillars supporting the sky.

It supports the entire universe, making it more stable.

During cultivation in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, one gains the ability to connect with the heavens and the earth, allowing the limbs to be connected with the Great Dao and to master more power.

Regardless of which version is correct, the cultivation of the four poles is crucial.

Moreover, in Lu Zhao's view, whether the Four Extremes are the creation of the universe or the support of the universe, they have a very important role, which is to have the ability to communicate with the profound.

This means that all kinds of spells must be activated from the limbs.

This secret realm is the key to the attack, and the key to activating the profound techniques within the body.

That's why one can achieve enlightenment and fully unleash all of one's power.
