Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

"So what should we do now?" Xu Yao asked, looking at the lotus flower in his hand.

According to the information recorded on the jade slip, as long as he merges with the lotus, he can inherit this cultivation technique.

"Give it a try." Xu Yao took a deep breath and placed the lotus flower between his eyebrows.

In an instant, the lotus emitted a faint light, and then slowly floated towards Xu Yao's forehead.

The lotus flower entered Xu Yao's mind and then slowly melted away.

Suddenly, a massive amount of information surged into Xu Yao's sea of ​​consciousness; this was the final will of the lotus.

"The Great Void Technique," Xu Yao murmured.

He then closed his eyes and sorted through the information that had just flooded his mind.

The information contained so much that he would probably have a mental breakdown if he didn't digest it properly.

Time passed slowly, and Xu Yao finally regained his senses from the vast information of the Tai Xu Jue.

"The Tai Xu Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier cultivation method in the cultivation world. This cultivation method is several times, even ten times, more powerful than the cultivation methods I practiced before."

"No wonder cultivators are so rare, and the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to improve," Xu Yao murmured.

This technique allows for extremely fast cultivation, but it also consumes a huge amount of resources.

Ordinary cultivators need to consume spirit stones, spirit herbs, or other precious materials to assist them in cultivating the Tai Xu Technique.

However, cultivators like Xu Yao, who directly devour the elements of heaven and earth, do not need any auxiliary treasures at all.

Xu Yao's physique is unique; his meridians are relatively wide and also possess a trace of spatial attributes.

This allows Xu Yao to absorb not only more spiritual energy, but also more spiritual energy.

Moreover, it is much more efficient, so cultivating the Tai Xu Technique becomes much easier.

"This harvest has been incredibly bountiful," Xu Yao exclaimed, standing up excitedly.

The Tai Xu Technique has three realms, and each realm is further divided into nine grades.

Xu Yao has now reached the fourth rank and is not far from the fifth rank.

"This Tai Xu Technique is really good. It seems I should study it properly when I have time in the future," Xu Yao murmured.

"Wait, what's this?"

Just then, Xu Yao noticed something lying next to him.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this was a parchment scroll covered with densely packed small characters.

"The Great Void Divine Talisman, could this be a relic left behind by the Great Void Divine Emperor?"

Xu Yao said excitedly.

According to the Taixu Manual, the Taixu Divine Emperor is the oldest emperor in the cultivation world.

The Great Void God Emperor was born at the beginning of the primordial chaos, before the world was divided, and was one of the first living beings in the prehistoric era.

At the time of its birth, Hongmeng had not yet fully evolved and everything was still in chaos.

Furthermore, due to the unique nature of chaos, even the Supreme God Emperor could not perceive the edge of chaos.

The Supreme God Emperor's cultivation level was astonishing, but his cultivation method was extremely strange.

Instead of seeking spiritual stones and herbs to aid his cultivation, he chose to cultivate using the power of the laws within his own body.

Moreover, the cultivation method of the Taixu God Emperor is also known as the Devouring Law, which involves devouring all power to enhance one's cultivation level.

Of course, devouring everything is relative. Although the Taixu God Emperor can devour everything, he still needs to have enough power.

For an ordinary cultivator, absorbing the power, spirit stones, or spirit herbs of a mortal world is practically worthless.

However, the Taixu God Emperor is different. His cultivation method is different from others, so he can devour all kinds of laws and powers.

The Supreme God Emperor once devoured the power of many laws, such as heavenly lightning and flames.

Of course, these laws of power all contain an aura of destruction. If someone with low cultivation level were to absorb them, they would definitely explode and die.

However, the Taixu God Emperor still converted these laws into his own power.

This increased the power of the Taixu Technique by several times or even dozens of times.

Xu Yao took out the Taixu Divine Talisman and examined it carefully.

The Taixu Divine Talisman was personally crafted by the Taixu Divine Emperor and possesses miraculous power.

Once activated, it can summon the phantom image left behind by the Taixu God Emperor to fight.

This Taixu Divine Talisman is extremely expensive; even the most powerful forces in the cultivation world rarely possess such a treasure.

He was lucky this time, as he actually obtained a Taixu Divine Talisman.

Xu Yao used the Taixu Divine Talisman to set up an isolation array around himself.

Then he placed his palm on the Taixu Divine Talisman, and the Taixu Divine Talisman immediately emitted a dazzling light.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light curtain enveloped Xu Yao, increasing his safety factor several times over.

"Now I can confidently break through to the Foundation Establishment stage," Xu Yao said with satisfaction.

When Xu Yao touched the Taixu Divine Talisman, a loud bang suddenly rang out in Xu Yao's dantian.

A sharp pain instantly swept through his body, and blood spurted out. Xu Yao's face turned pale.

He never expected that he would attract the tribulation of advancement, although this tribulation was nothing to Xu Yao.

However, this caused Xu Yao to suffer serious injuries, and at this point, Xu Yao no longer had the strength to undergo the tribulation.

He quickly took a healing pill and then sat cross-legged on the lotus platform to recuperate from his injuries.

After a while, Xu Yao's injuries finally stabilized.

"I never imagined I'd almost lose my life this time," Xu Yao sighed.

"I've actually advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining. It seems my gains this time were pretty good," Xu Yao said with a smile.

He is currently at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but his true cultivation level has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

I estimate that I will be able to reach the Golden Core realm when I advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Then we'll be able to fly on swords.

"Huh?" Just as Xu Yao was about to get up and leave, he suddenly froze.

"What is this?" A ring had appeared at his feet without him noticing.

"A storage ring?" Xu Yao's eyes widened.

"I, Xu Yao, actually have a storage ring! I'm rich now!" Xu Yao said excitedly.

"What material is this ring made of? It's so hard." Xu Yao tapped the storage ring at his feet and asked in confusion.

He discovered that the material of this storage ring was even more durable than his own body.

“It seems my cultivation method is indeed suitable for practicing weapon crafting,” Xu Yao said.

Xu Yao was originally a martial artist, but he only started practicing body-refining techniques later.

However, his understanding of body refinement techniques is no less than that of any other cultivation method.

"I'll refine the Taixu Divine Talisman first," Xu Yao said.

Then Xu Yao sat cross-legged on the lotus platform and began to refine the Taixu Divine Talisman.

While Xu Yao was refining the Taixu Divine Talisman, in the imperial palace of Taixu City on the other side...

The Supreme God Emperor opened his eyes and revealed a cold smile.
