Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

Xia Mangqing and Shi Yuan and the others talked for a while longer.

Most of them were asking Xia Mangqing if he had any other unparalleled magical abilities or techniques he was willing to trade.

In addition, Xia Mangqing also offered a special technique as payment, asking various sects to find the whereabouts of some precious materials, which were rare items needed for cultivating the second primordial spirit.

He had already made a preliminary calculation that he could cultivate a second primordial spirit in this realm, so he had to make sure that he could cultivate a second primordial spirit in this realm before his main body underwent tribulation.

The rare items he mentioned were all top-tier; if one could cultivate a second primordial spirit using them, their potential and talent would be beyond imagination.

However, these treasures are very rare and may not even exist in the eight lower realms. He was just trying his luck.

If there is still no news before his main body undergoes tribulation, he will settle for second best and cultivate his second primordial spirit with ordinary rare objects or the essence blood of powerful ferocious beasts.

After completing the transaction, Xia Mangqing studied the several magical techniques and abilities he had acquired, and returned two days later.

"What an amazing method!"

Within his personal immortal abode, Xia Mangqing's soul returned to its original form.

Several magical techniques and supernatural abilities were also transformed, and memories appeared like a torrent. After comprehending them once, the transformed Suanni magical technique truly amazed Xia Mangqing.

It is indeed a flawless treasure technique of a celestial-rank ferocious beast. After transformation, it should be called the Suanni Technique. It does not only include supernatural powers. Although he has not fully comprehended it, he can see that this Suanni Technique points directly to the essence of the Great Dao of Lightning. In the Three Realms, it can be considered the top level.

"The cultivation method is to refine the Qi, reaching the pure Yang level."

"But... the method for condensing the Golden Core seems to be different."

"Could it be a second-grade Golden Core?!"

Xia Mangqing was trying to comprehend the cultivation methods within the Suanni Technique.

The Celestial Immortal Scroll caused his expression to change drastically. Unlike the beings of the Three Realms who naturally condense a Celestial Immortal Golden Core with the power of heaven and earth after passing through the Heavenly Tribulation, this scroll required the assistance of several rare thunder-related artifacts to condense a special kind of golden core.

However, although those rare items were precious, they were far less valuable than the cost of cultivating to become a first-class celestial immortal. Therefore, Xia Mangqing speculated that they were used to condense a second-class golden pill.

Even if it is only a second-grade Golden Core, it is absolutely unique in the Three Realms today!

Once he completes his cultivation and becomes a Celestial Immortal, he will be able to reach the threshold of a Celestial God from the very beginning. His understanding of the Dao will be deep enough that he can even directly rival a true Celestial God.

"Switch to this method!"

Xia Mangqing did not hesitate and decided to first have his second primordial spirit switch to cultivating the Suanni technique.

The flow of time differs between the two realms, so Xia Mangqing's second primordial spirit will most likely not stagnate for more than a hundred years at the Void Returning level. Moreover, he does not believe that he can obtain a treasure or great technique that surpasses the Suanni Technique within a hundred days in the Perfect World.

Therefore, practicing the Suanni technique is sufficient.

As for his true form, since he is a being refined by gods and demons, he still has a lot of room for growth. He is not in a hurry now and can wait and see.

With this thought in mind, Xia Mangqing switched between his main body and his second primordial spirit once again. The former continued to comprehend the Dao in the Fourth Pavilion, while the latter entered his personal immortal abode and began to cultivate the Suanni Technique.

"Only one last one is missing, so the process isn't slow."

When Xia Mangqing returned, the memories and insights of the main body and the second primordial spirit were shared. In the past two years, the second primordial spirit has comprehended eight Dao Realms, only lacking the Dao of Shadow.

He lacked comprehension in the darker aspects of life.

Apart from him, the other Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals had all arrived at the Fourth Pavilion, which was within Xia Mangqing's expectations.

At this moment, they were also comprehending the Dao. After glancing at them, Xia Mangqing continued to comprehend the Dao of Shadow.

Three months later, he finally comprehended the realm of the ultimate Dao.

The profound mysteries of the nine Dao Realms spread out, and while the Earth Immortals and Loose Immortals were in shock, they also heard the spirit of the divine mountain announce that Xia Mangqing had passed the test of this pavilion and take him away from this place.

"This is the Treasure Hall of the Divine Mountain, which contains four levels of magical treasures: Immortal, Heaven, Earth, and Human. Young friend, you can choose one Immortal-level magical treasure by passing through the fourth pavilion."

The old Taoist, who is also the spirit of the sacred mountain, said.

Xia Mangqing looked puzzled: "Senior, what criteria are used to differentiate the rewards for each pavilion?"

He had previously obtained a human-grade flying sword in the first pavilion, then a heaven-grade immortal mansion in the third pavilion, but in the second pavilion he obtained a divine power. The standard of the reward did indeed puzzle him.

The old Taoist smiled faintly: "The rewards bestowed by each pavilion will be randomly selected from the Treasure Hall, the Divine Power Hall, the Rare Items Hall, and other halls. In addition, although it is not explicitly stated, there are evaluation standards for each of you. Differences in comprehension, potential, strength, and Dao heart will affect the final reward."

"The other people didn't receive the same rewards as you."

"I see."

Xia Mangqing suddenly understood. The old Taoist nodded, and with a flick of his sleeve, a golden light screen unfolded before them, displaying various immortal-grade magic treasures:

[Sky Cloud Shuttle: A high-grade immortal-level magic weapon, incredibly fast, covering 90,000 li in an instant, and capable of teleportation through the void, allowing it to roam freely across the heavens and earth.]

[Purple Cloud Sword Formation: High-grade Immortal Rank, consisting of thirty-six flying swords, each a Celestial Rank magical treasure.]

[Immortal-Slaying Needle: Mid-grade Immortal level, capable of destroying an Immortal's consciousness and soul.]

[Myriad Transformations Immortal Robe: Low-grade Immortal Rank, capable of countless transformations, with astonishing defensive capabilities.]

……

Xia Mangqing looked through them once and finally chose the Sky Cloud Shuttle.

His second primordial spirit already possessed a pair of top-grade immortal wings and a landscape painting, so he didn't need anything else for the time being. That's why he chose this magic treasure.

Upon arriving at the Fifth Pavilion, Xia Mangqing was somewhat surprised by his opponent.

That was a Nascent Soul Realm deity or demon, not a puppet!

"This deity is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Once you kill it, you will have passed this pavilion."

The old Taoist said, "Only if the main body or the second primordial spirit is allowed to kill it one-on-one will it count."

"Of course, after you join the Pavilion, your cultivation level, whether it's the Divine Demon Body Refinement or Qi Refining, will be suppressed to the early stage of the Primordial Spirit."

Xia Mangqing chuckled: "In that case, wouldn't the chances of successfully refining qi be almost nonexistent?"

"Not bad." The old Taoist readily admitted, "Moreover, this god and demon is not bad either. He has mastered a complete minor path, and his Qi cultivation is so high that unless one is an unparalleled genius whose understanding of the Dao has reached a level close to that of a celestial being, it is almost impossible for someone of the same level to defeat him."

This also shows that the creator of this sacred mountain valued practitioners of the Divine Demon Body Refinement School more.

However, this is common knowledge in the Three Realms. Almost all powerful beings value the God-Demon Body Refinement Path, since the difference in combat power between immortals and gods of the same level is too great after becoming immortals or gods.

"No wonder the Black Mist Demon King couldn't get through."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself, "That Black Mist Demon King is a rogue immortal. Although his realm is very high, his cultivation is suppressed to the early stage of the primordial spirit. With his understanding of the Dao, how could he possibly kill this god and demon?"

Shaking his head, Xia Mangqing stopped thinking about it and stepped into the pavilion, where he crushed the demon god with overwhelming force.

With his divine and demonic physique, he was in no way inferior to his opponent.

His understanding of the Dao far surpasses that of his opponent.

How could they possibly lose under such circumstances?

"Hahaha... After so many years, finally another being has passed through the Fifth Pavilion!" The old Taoist was delighted. "If you can pass through the Sixth Pavilion, young friend, you will become a true inheritor!"

"The true successor?"

Xia Mangqing was not surprised; he had already guessed it, but he did not expect the standard to be passed through the Sixth Pavilion.
