Your Talent is Mine

However, before explaining how to break through the limits, Dao Ancestor Void Sky revealed some secrets.

"Ye Tian, your physical body, chaos divine force, and divine soul should now be approaching your own limits, correct? Once you've reached this limit, it will become nearly impossible to improve your strength in terms of essence, qi, and spirit. The next step will be to attempt the condensation of your True Spirit. Once the True Spirit is fused with your body, you will enter the True Spirit Realm.

As for the Grand Dao Realm, it involves condensing a complete Dao, which is equivalent to a 100,000-meter-long Dao.

But in reality, one must also merge the Dao with their soul.

The True Spirit merges with the body, the Dao merges with the soul, and to become a Dao Ancestor, you must fuse the Dao with yourself, meaning it must unite with your essence, qi, and spirit! Only when a True Ancestor's essence, qi, and spirit become one with the Dao can they truly be called a Dao Ancestor!"

Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained.

"So this is how one becomes a Dao Ancestor!" Ye Tian was shocked.

He had always heard that merging with the Dao allowed one to become a Dao Ancestor, but he never fully understood what this kind of fusion entailed.

Most people remained vague about it, as the Dao Ancestor level was too distant. Unless one reached the peak of the True Ancestor level, there was no need to even consider these secrets beforehand. Gaining this knowledge early wouldn't be of much help.

Many Heavenly Monarchs even had misconceptions about the process of merging with the Dao. Ye Tian himself had nearly misunderstood it, thinking that merging with the Dao simply meant uniting the Dao with the physical body.

Who would have thought that the true Dao fusion required the unification of the Dao with essence, qi, and spirit? For a True Ancestor, the Dao initially merges with the soul.

At this point, Dao Ancestor Void Sky continued, "Once the Dao has fully united with your essence, qi, and spirit, you yourself will become the embodiment of the Dao.

Those who rely on themselves to merge with the Dao possess infinite potential, while those who use the Ancestral Stele to merge with the Dao will never achieve a perfect fusion.

I've mentioned this to you before, but I haven't explained it in such detail until now.

But to merge essence, qi, and spirit with the Dao—how difficult that is! The Void Sky Dao Body is my attempt to accomplish this. You've probably noticed that the Void Sky Dao Body can advance your body, divine force, and divine soul simultaneously, though its primary focus is on the body.

According to my ideal design, the Void Sky Dao Body should fully evolve all three aspects of essence, qi, and spirit. However, my cultivation level is limited, and I cannot create the most perfect version of the Void Sky Dao Body.

Otherwise, once the Void Sky Dao Body reached perfection, your essence, qi, and spirit would naturally merge, forming an entirely new power. At that point, when you reach the peak of the True Ancestor Realm, you would easily be able to fuse with the Dao and enter the Dao Ancestor Realm."

"Master, no cultivation method is without flaws. The Void Sky Dao Body is already incredibly powerful!" Ye Tian quickly responded.

"Yes, although the Void Sky Dao Body isn't perfect, it still gives you a great chance to achieve Dao fusion on your own.

However, you're currently cursed with the Evil Demon Seal Curse, and if you can't break the curse, you won't be able to ascend to True Monarch, let alone True Ancestor.

And the way to break through this limit and dispel the curse is through the unification of essence, qi, and spirit!" Dao Ancestor Void Sky said solemnly.

"What? The unification of essence, qi, and spirit?" Ye Tian was astonished. "Master, I'm only at the Destiny Realm!"

"That's right. The unification of essence, qi, and spirit is indeed a necessary process, one that the Destiny Realm cannot achieve. Even we Dao Ancestors haven't perfected the unification of essence, qi, and spirit; we merely rely on the Dao to help facilitate this fusion.

However, the unification of essence, qi, and spirit is achievable. This was deduced through the collective efforts of many Dao Ancestors. Dao Ancestors complete this fusion in the True Ancestor Realm, but no Heavenly Monarch has ever achieved it. If you can unify essence, qi, and spirit at the Heavenly Monarch level, it will break the boundary, and the Evil Demon Seal Curse will no longer affect you!" Dao Ancestor Void Sky explained.

"This… seems too difficult!" Ye Tian lacked confidence.

In all of chaos, no one had ever achieved the unification of essence, qi, and spirit at the Heavenly Monarch level. Could he do it?

"There's no other way. This is your only path forward!" Dao Ancestor Void Sky said helplessly, "If you don't take this path, you'll remain at the Heavenly Monarch level for your entire life. Even if you reincarnate, you'll still be plagued by this curse."

"Master, I am willing to attempt the unification of essence, qi, and spirit!" Ye Tian declared.

"Good. I will now teach you the secrets of how to unify essence, qi, and spirit!" Dao Ancestor Void Sky smiled.

Looking at his master's smile, Ye Tian couldn't help but wonder if he was becoming Dao Ancestor Void Sky's test subject. Of course, he also understood that his master wasn't trying to harm him, but rather wanted to validate the possibility of unifying essence, qi, and spirit. If Ye Tian succeeded, it might even provide some insight to Dao Ancestor Void Sky.

At Dao Ancestor Void Sky's level, making any further progress was incredibly difficult. If he could grasp the mysteries of unifying essence, qi, and spirit, he might be able to take another step forward in the Dao Ancestor realm.

In the days that followed, Dao Ancestor Void Sky continuously guided Ye Tian on the profound truths of unifying essence, qi, and spirit.

This was a treatment other disciples could only dream of. It was a great opportunity! Under Dao Ancestor Void Sky's guidance, while Ye Tian's power didn't increase significantly, his understanding of cultivation and his insights grew at an astonishing pace.

Moreover, with Dao Ancestor Void Sky's instruction, Ye Tian gradually gained a clearer sense of direction toward unifying essence, qi, and spirit.

First, he needed to reach the limit of his current realm, meaning his physical body, divine force, and divine soul all had to reach the extreme limit of the Heavenly Monarch level, where no further progress was possible.

The second step required him to create three Origin Divine Abilities: one rooted in his physical body, one based on his divine force, and one centered around his soul.

Once these three Origin Divine Abilities were achieved, his essence, qi, and spirit would gain an unimaginable boost, potentially pushing him halfway through the boundary.

The third step would be to fuse the three Origin Divine Abilities into a completely new one, which would become his innate Origin Divine Ability.

The moment his innate Origin Divine Ability succeeded, his essence, qi, and spirit would perfectly unify.

At that time, he would break the Evil Demon Seal Curse and smoothly condense a True Spirit, one that would be stronger than even the supreme True Spirit.

According to Dao Ancestor Void Sky, only ten-star Divine Generals could condense a supreme True Spirit, and a supreme True Spirit was the limit.

However, if Ye Tian's plan succeeded, he would give birth to a True Spirit that surpassed the supreme True Spirit.

Although Ye Tian hadn't yet completed the initial stages of the plan, he already had a name for this True Spirit—Chaos True Spirit! In any case, naming it first gave him motivation!

After guiding Ye Tian, Dao Ancestor Void Sky left the Grand Universe and stopped overseeing him.

If Ye Tian succeeded, Dao Ancestor Void Sky would gain an unrivaled disciple. If Ye Tian failed, he would simply lose a genius disciple. While unfortunate, it was something beyond control.
