Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

"Good! That's the kind of spirit we should have!"

Dao Ancestor Youxiong laughed.

Although Xia Mangqing was only one step away from becoming a Pure Yang True Immortal after comprehending the Great Dao, there were countless top-tier Celestial Immortals in the Three Realms who were stuck at the last step. The fact that he dared to so decisively accept the test of breaking through every hundred years made Dao Ancestor Youxiong think even more highly of Xia Mangqing.

"You have cultivated the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons. For the next hundred years, this avatar of yours will remain in this world to cultivate."

Dao Ancestor Youxiong spoke again.

"Yes," Xia Mangqing replied.

On the other side, in the world of the Zhuanxu human race, Xia Mangqing met the Qiongchan Dao Ancestor and was given the test of comprehending a layer of chaotic restriction.

According to Dao Ancestor Qiongchan, this Chaos Restriction was obtained by the Three Pure Ones from the chaotic void. It is extremely profound, and only a very few gods and immortals can comprehend the first level.

This was an unexpected surprise for Xia Mangqing. He knew very well the origin of the Chaos Restriction, which was created by the Supreme Being Qi. Each layer had many mysteries and endless variations, and theoretically, it could evolve into countless kinds of restrictions.

For example, the Zhuxian Sword Diagram, crafted by the Three Pure Ones, was created after the Three Pure Ones had deciphered the seven layers of chaotic restrictions. Based on this, they created their own seven layers of restrictions and incorporated the four great chaotic divine swords, which is why it was hailed as the number one ancient killing treasure.

Moreover, this nine-layered chaotic restriction is a peerless technique, but it must be mastered before reaching the World Realm.

Xia Mangqing was naturally delighted to have the opportunity to comprehend it, and he was also curious about what the Chaos Restriction would be like after it was transformed into the Perfect World.

Time flew by, and the two clones cultivated and comprehended in the worlds of the Zhuanxu and Dayu peoples, respectively.

To Xia Mangqing's surprise, comprehending the Chaos Restriction was actually beneficial to comprehending the Great Dao!

Thanks to this, Xia Mangqing comprehended the first level of the Chaos Restriction in his eighteenth year. At the same time, he had a sudden realization of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and could break through at any time to become a Pure Yang True Immortal.

"But before that, I must first cultivate the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons to the second level."

In the world of the Zhuanxu human race, Xia Mangqing was not in a hurry to break through.

If he were to become a Pure Yang True Immortal now, the resources required to cultivate the second level of the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons" would increase a hundredfold, which would be beyond his capacity and too wasteful.

"Fortunately, I have already deciphered the first level of the Chaos Restriction, which allows me to enter the Zhuanxu Treasure Vault and choose any item. Perhaps I can use this to exchange for rare treasures needed for cultivation."

Xia Mangqing thought to himself, and then went directly to see the Dao Ancestor Qiongchan.

"In just eighteen years, you have comprehended the first level of the Chaos Restriction. Your comprehension surpasses that of most celestial gods and true immortals. That's remarkable."

Qiongchan Daozu smiled faintly. He was the son of Zhuanxu and one of the Dao Ancestors of the human race. He was generally responsible for managing the affairs of the Zhuanxu human world.

"A lucky epiphany."

Xia Mangqing said, and Qiongchan Daozu smiled slightly, then waved his sleeve. In an instant, the two of them teleported in the void and appeared in front of a magnificent palace.

"Having passed the first test, you may enter the Zhuanxu Treasure Vault and choose one item. Go," said the Qiongchan Dao Ancestor. However, Xia Mangqing did not move, but respectfully asked again:

"Dao Ancestor, this junior wishes to use this reward to exchange for the resources needed to cultivate the second level of the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons.' Is that permissible?"

The Qiongchan Daozu looked calmly and asked with a smile, "I remember you came for the most powerful killing formation in the Three Realms. There is one in the treasure vault. Are you sure you want to switch? The second test will be much more difficult."

Xia Mangqing nodded: "My first test in the world of the Great Yu human race is to become a Pure Yang True Immortal. Now I have comprehended the Great Dao and condensed the five elements in my chest. However, once I become a Pure Yang True Immortal, the resources required to cultivate the second level of this secret technique will increase a hundredfold, which is really difficult to bear. Therefore, I want to cultivate the second level before breaking through."

"I see."

Qiongchan Daozu nodded, slightly amazed.

As far as he knew, Xia Mangqing had been cultivating for less than two hundred years, yet he was about to become a Pure Yang True Immortal. Such talent was unmatched by most people in the human race from ancient times to the present.

"An exchange is possible. You are merely a Celestial Immortal, and the rare items you need to cultivate the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons' are few. Moreover, the Zhuanxu Treasure Vault even contains top-grade innate spiritual treasures, but you may not be able to obtain them. Therefore, I will offer a rare item equivalent to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure as a replacement. What do you say?"

"Alright!" Xia Mangqing nodded in agreement, then thought for a moment and asked, "Dao Ancestor, I wonder if the rare item we can exchange for is enough to cultivate the second level of the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons'?"

"More than enough," Dao Ancestor Qiongchan laughed. "It's roughly equivalent to half the resources needed for a Celestial God or True Immortal to cultivate to the second level. That's more than enough for you."

"If your true form were to become a celestial being, cultivating this secret technique would be much easier."

Xia Mangqing's eyes lit up, and he bowed to express his gratitude:

"This junior thanks the Dao Ancestor!"

In secret techniques like the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons," if the resources required for a third-grade Golden Core are "one," then for a second-grade Golden Core they are "ten," and for a first-grade Golden Core they are "one hundred."

The True Immortals of the Three Realms are Third-Rank Golden Core True Immortals, which is equivalent to First-Rank Golden Core Celestial Immortals. Xia Mangqing is a Second-Rank Golden Core Celestial Immortal. Fifty percent of the cultivation resources of a First-Rank Golden Core Celestial Immortal would be more than enough for him to successfully cultivate to the second level.

"No need for thanks. Focus on your cultivation. If one day you become a Dao Ancestor, it will greatly enhance the strength of our Three Realms and our human race," said Dao Ancestor Qiongchan calmly.

"This junior will certainly do his utmost."

Xia Mangqing frankly stated that he also longed to become a Dao Ancestor as soon as possible, so that he could do even more things.

"Um."

Qiongchan Daozu nodded and quickly retrieved the rare items needed for cultivation.

After Xia Mangqing accepted the gift, Dao Ancestor Qiongchan said again, "The second test is still to comprehend the Chaos Restriction. This time you need to comprehend the second level. The reward is still to enter the Zhuanxu Treasure Vault and choose one item."

"Yes!" Xia Mangqing smiled.

He was trying to comprehend the Chaos Restriction!

Of course, only a handful of Heavenly Gods and True Immortals can comprehend the second layer of Chaos Restriction; they are all among the most outstanding Heavenly Gods and True Immortals in the Three Realms. As for the third layer, according to Xia Mangqing's knowledge, even ordinary True Gods and Dao Ancestors can probably only comprehend the third layer.

For Xia Mangqing right now, that step is still a long way off.

For now, let's focus on cultivating the secret technique and breaking through our cultivation level!

With this thought in mind, the avatars of the second primordial spirit gathered together.

Now that he has comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and can use the Great Shift, he can travel much faster. He quickly arrived in the world of the Zhuanxu human race and used a rare artifact to cultivate the second level of the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons".

"This state is still more comfortable."

All twelve clones have recovered to the strength of the original body, becoming second-class Golden Core Celestial Immortals. With his understanding of the Great Dao, even now, he can rival top-tier Celestial Gods and True Immortals.

"Next, it's time for a breakthrough."

With the five elements already condensed in his chest and the Great Dao of the Void fully comprehended, Xia Mangqing had fulfilled all the conditions to become a Pure Yang True Immortal.

Next, all you need to do is let the Golden Core absorb a massive amount of primordial energy, gradually transforming it into a Pure Yang Golden Core, and you will be a true Pure Yang Immortal.

This process could be accelerated with Pure Yang Elixir, but Xia Mangqing didn't have that many Pure Yang Elixir, so he naturally chose to take it slowly. Fortunately, he was a second-grade Golden Core cultivator, so he could absorb Yuan Qi faster. It was estimated that he would become a Pure Yang True Immortal in no time.
