Super Divine Daoist Skill

Bai Ziyue had recently developed an interest in formations and Dao runes.

In terms of formations, he had actually encountered them before.

However, compared to the cultivation techniques, magic, and alchemy, formations were more complex, making the Entry Level significantly more challenging, which was why he hadn't achieved much in that area.

But now, having increased his strength to the Divine Realm, his Spiritual Sense was exceptionally sharp, and his Great Dao Sensing was countless times stronger than before.

Countless things that originally seemed obscure now could be easily seen through, allowing him to draw inferences effortlessly.

So, after mastering the Nine Yang Refining Technique for alchemy and the Ancient Moon Refining Technique for artifact refining, he immediately began to study formations.

Qimen Dunjia, Array Dao True Understanding, Detailed Explanation of the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirits Prohibition... Many of these were connected in their techniques, and he progressed rapidly by drawing analogies, estimating that it wouldn't take long to Entry Level one particular Array Dao Technique.

By then, once his Attribute Panel was upgraded, it would be much easier for him to elevate that particular Array Dao Technique to Perfection and then specialize in more advanced formations. He believed it wouldn't take long to elevate his Array Dao, like alchemy, quickly to become a Second-grade Array Master or even a Third-grade Array Master.

As for the 'Dao runes,' it was because of that Demon Race Technique that he initially took notice. But after understanding the mysteries of the Dao runes, he felt that these words, embodying the Great Dao, must contain a special kind of power that would provide invaluable help to his future cultivation.

So, he also devoted a substantial amount of thought to studying the 'Dao runes.'

The progress was very slow!

Even slower than his study of formations.

But the words themselves—Dao runes seemed inherently unable to be recorded on ordinary paper, brocade cloth, or within Jade Scroll Eye. Bai Ziyue could only see them on a Dao Origin Stone left by Master Six Extremes that specifically recorded powerful cultivation technique formulas.

In total, there were only one hundred and five Daoist Texts.

These words actually didn't look complicated.

But often after Bai Ziyue looked away, he would find that he couldn't recall the specific way to write these words. All the strokes and shapes were blurred with no impression left.

"Gone in a blink, as if forcibly stripped from my brain..."

Bai Ziyue was surprised.

*To know how astonishing his memory was now? Photographic memory and dual focus were no problem at all. A cultivation technique, even if he only glanced at it casually, he could remember every word and image clearly after days or weeks and quickly comprehend the deeper meanings.*

But he couldn't remember when looking at these Daoist Texts.

*This, instead, ignited the fighting spirit within him.*

Through reading some of Master Six Extremes's notes and insights, he also came to understand the reason behind it.

"The Daoist Texts naturally align with the Great Dao, perhaps even embody the Great Dao itself. They cannot be borne by ordinary paper, brocade cloth, or Jade Scroll Eye. It's like something transcending its own dimension, visible yet intangible, let alone written or memorized in the real world.

Only by thoroughly understanding everything the Daoist Texts embody, whether it's their specific meanings, Great Dao mysteries, or some connection with the world... can one fully memorize and thus write them down smoothly."

Bai Ziyue was surprised, but when he truly settled down to study the Daoist Texts, he felt it was perfectly natural.

Because the Daoist Texts themselves contained power.

So, in the following few days, Bai Ziyue either focused his mind on formations or delved into studying the Daoist Texts. Although due to the limited time, his progress wasn't too visible, he nevertheless felt immensely fulfilled.

Occasionally, Qiu Yuepiao and Qiu Dingyue would visit, seeking his advice on cultivation matters.

For this, he was not stingy.

With his experience in cultivation, guiding two cultivators at the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation was naturally effortless and comprehensive, often yielding great gains for them and accelerating their cultivation progress significantly.

Of course, taking this opportunity, Bai Ziyue also subtly gathered more information about the area, which also proved immensely rewarding.

Among the information gathered was a basic understanding of the Nine-star Divine Order, previously mentioned by Qiu Family's Patriarch.

In the Heavenly Domain, besides several Super Sects, there was another force equally enormous and formidable, encompassing even more powerhouses than each Sect, spanning across the Immortal Technique World, truly a superpower.

This force was called the Nine-star Daoist Palace.

The Nine-star Daoist Palace wasn't a Cultivation Sect or a Cultivation Commerce Association. Initially, it was merely an organization for assassins. But after over ten thousand years of development, this organization gradually grew and transitioned from the dark to the light, forming a completely loose Immortal Technique organization.

However, their assassin ranking system was entirely preserved.

Any Immortal Cultivator wishing to join the Nine-star Daoist Palace had to pass an assessment. Based on the cultivator's power and the number of tasks completed, they were categorized into star levels, from one-star to nine-star.

Except for Qi Refinement Stage and Enlightenment Realm cultivators, due to their limited strength and lifespan, who weren't qualified to be categorized as 'stars,' Immortal Cultivators above the Divine Realm could participate in evaluations to determine their 'star' level and obtain a Star Order.

Like the One-star Divine Order, Two-star Divine Order… up to the Nine-star Divine Order.

It was the same for the Golden Core Realm and above, with the One-star Golden Core Order, Two-star Golden Core Order… up to the Nine-star Golden Core Order.

These Star Orders were not only Dharma Treasures with certain defensive capabilities, but also represented identity and strength.

Additionally, once someone became a star-level powerhouse, if they themselves fell due to accidents or various reasons, then their family, descendants, or sect could hold this Star Order, and invoke Nine-star Daoist Palace's intervention through special means.

Once the Star Order was activated, Nine-star Daoist Palace would immediately issue a mission and summon the appropriate star-level powerhouse for rescue.

For example, if the holder had a One-star Divine Order, then a One-star Divine Realm powerhouse would be summoned, and if the holder carried a Nine-star Divine Order, a Nine-star Divine Realm powerhouse would be summoned.

This held immense allure for many Immortal Technique influences, and for smaller Immortal Cultivation Clans like the Qiu Family, it could be directly regarded as a treasure capable of stabilizing their status, viewed as a great foundation.

Therefore, even the various Immortal Technique Sects would have powerhouses visit the Nine-star Daoist Palace, applying to become star-level powerhouses to obtain the Star Order.

"The star-level is not divided based on Immortal Technique Realm, but entirely according to strength.

A cultivator at the early stage of the Divine Realm could wear a Four-star Divine Order, while a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Divine Realm might only obtain a Three-star Divine Order.

Of course, a powerhouse wearing a One-star Divine Order might also have strong abilities, as they might be concealing their strength, but a powerhouse holding a Nine-star Divine Order was indisputably the strongest at the Divine Realm Level.

It was said some highly skilled Nine-star Divine Realm powerhouses could even withstand Golden Core Realm powerhouses without defeat."

Finally, Qiu Dingyue spoke with a face full of longing.

Bai Ziyue felt a sense of shock within his heart.

*A star-level system determined entirely by strength? Powerhouses holding a Nine-star Divine Order could even contend with Golden Core Realm powerhouses?*

*Regardless of other factors, this strength classification somewhat corresponded to his own differentiated strength grades.*

*However, he divided by third grade, second grade, and first grade, whereas the Nine-star Daoist Palace calculated directly by star-level.*

*Within the same realm, one star was the weakest, nine stars the strongest.*

…

"Elder Kunlun, it's time to set out."

On the third day of Bai Ziyue's stay at the Qiu Family, the siblings Qiu Yuepiao and Qiu Dingyue came again, respectfully saying.

"Good!"

Bai Ziyue nodded, stood up tall, and looked at the two as he asked, "Are you going to Blood Peak City as well?"

"Originally, our cultivation was insignificant, plus our elder brother was at a critical moment in reaching the Peak of the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, and thus had no chance of going to Blood Peak City.

But thanks to Elder's great blessing, the Patriarch has already agreed to let us accompany you, and during the journey, if Elder needs anything, you can directly instruct us, we will naturally assist you."

Qiu Yuepiao said with a respectful expression.

"Oh? Your patriarch does have intentions."

Bai Ziyue was slightly startled, nodded, and said no more.

Given his Immortal Technique Realm as a Divine Realm cultivator, coupled with his identity as an Alchemist, it was quite normal for Qiu Dashang to take such actions.

Soon, under the guidance of the siblings, Bai Ziyue met Qiu Dashang, the Qiu Family Patriarch, along with a group of not weak Immortal Cultivators.

"Elder Kunlun."

"These are all patriarchs and some members from nearby Immortal Cultivation Clans who rushed here upon hearing elder's news and intend to travel with us to Blood Peak City to attend this Qingxu Summit."

Standing on the spacious square, Qiu Dashang introduced each to Bai Ziyue with a broad smile.

His mood was indeed excellent.

According to previous conventions, every decade, the Immortal Cultivators in the vicinity would first go to the place where the Xu Family was, occupying a part of the market, gather, and then set off to attend the Qingxu Summit in Blood Peak City.

But this time, due to his deliberate mention of Bai Ziyue's identity, the patriarchs of several Immortal Cultivation Clans immediately came straight to his Qiu Family.

This was something that was absolutely impossible previously.

After all, not only did the Xu Family occupy a market, but the Xu Family Patriarch was also a Peak of Enlightenment Realm Cultivator, very strong and always treating him with a chilly attitude... Yet now, seeing the Xu Family Patriarch inquire about Elder Kunlun with a flattering expression early in the day, he felt delighted.
