Dragon King Hall's Legend

Chapter 1997: I Have the Human Emperor Technique! Ji Wudao’s Excitement! The Right Choice!

On a mountain peak about a thousand meters high.

This is where Ji Wudao resides.

Mu Jinyu came here and soon saw Ji Wudao, who was gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

"Senior."

Mu Jinyu stopped, still more than ten meters away from Ji Wudao, and spoke softly.

"Hmm?"

Hearing Mu Jinyu’s call, Ji Wudao snapped out of his contemplation and turned to look at Mu Jinyu.

Seeing Mu Jinyu, a trace of surprise flashed in Ji Wudao’s eyes.

He could tell that Mu Jinyu’s cultivation had not broken through, yet somehow, his restrained aura was much stronger than it had been a few days ago.

If his previous aura was truly that of the first layer of the Life and Death Realm, then now it should be that of the fourth layer,

belonging to the mid-stage of the Life and Death Realm.

Yet, bizarrely, Mu Jinyu’s cultivation had not improved at all; only his aura had become stronger.

This made Ji Wudao feel very strange.

Why would Mu Jinyu change so much in just a few days?

Could it be that he had completely stabilized at the first layer of the Life and Death Realm?

But that didn’t seem right either. After Mu Jinyu had passed his Life and Death Realm heavenly tribulation, his aura had already increased and then stabilized completely.

Though perplexed, Ji Wudao’s expression didn’t change as he asked Mu Jinyu, "Jinyu, is there something you need from me?"

Mu Jinyu nodded slightly and said, "Senior, I have obtained the true Human Emperor Technique!"

"Human Emperor Technique?" Ji Wudao was taken aback by Mu Jinyu’s words, then immediately showed a bright gleam in his eyes, nodding continuously, "Really? That’s great news!"

Although he didn’t know which Human Emperor Technique Mu Jinyu had obtained, it was undoubtedly good news, and he didn’t intend to delve into it, as the "Humanity Path Sutra" was already more than enough for him to devote a lifetime to exploring.

Seeing Ji Wudao’s calm reaction, Mu Jinyu felt slightly puzzled but quickly understood.

Ji Wudao’s calm demeanor was likely because he believed that Mu Jinyu had obtained the technique of another Human Emperor, not the one who was directly bestowed the title "Human Emperor!"

So, Mu Jinyu reminded once more, "Senior, it’s not another Human Emperor, but that Human Emperor’s technique!"

"Hmm, the Human Emperor’s technique..."

Ji Wudao responded absentmindedly, showing considerable happiness, but then suddenly realized, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Mu Jinyu, asking urgently, "The Human Emperor you’re talking about, is it that Human Emperor? The one who founded the ’Humanity Path Sutra’?"

Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, then shook his head and replied, "Yes, that Human Emperor, but the ’Humanity Path Sutra’ wasn’t created by him. It was his insights that were discovered and compiled by later generations!"

"Right!" Ji Wudao didn’t want to drag on this topic and quickly asked Mu Jinyu, "So the Human Emperor Technique you obtained is from this Human Emperor; does it truly complete the ’Humanity Path Sutra’?"

"Yes!" Mu Jinyu nodded, "Indeed it does. I’ve successfully adapted and my strength has grown considerably, so I specifically came to share with you!"

"Wonderful, just wonderful..."

Hearing Mu Jinyu, Ji Wudao was momentarily overjoyed, beyond excitement, appearing quite out of character.

But no one knew just how thrilled he was at this moment.

Originally, in the Ji Imperial Clan, he was considered one of the exceptionally gifted Heaven’s Pride, and unsurprisingly, would eventually step into the Zenith Space-Light Realm, then enter the depths of the clan’s territory to slumber, hoping for a future breakthrough to harmonize the foreign race bloodline more effectively.

But how could he be willing to accept that?

He also felt that such a dependent, sycophantic cultivation method was unreasonable and disgusting.

If, at the end of cultivation, he merely tucked himself away in that domain to eke out an existence, he might as well not cultivate at all.

So, Ji Wudao decisively left the Ji Clan and came to Dongyue Mansion, starting to sever the foreign race bloodline within him, then began cultivating the ’Humanity Path Sutra’!

And his talent indeed was quite exceptional.

Even when it was difficult for a great many humans to cultivate the ’Humanity Path Sutra,’ he could easily cultivate it, quickly reaching the peak of the Unity Realm Stage, then his cultivation surged to the Void Breaking Realm.

Next came the issue of the ’Marrow Nourishment Chapter,’ which nearly killed him!

Ji Wudao narrowly survived, spending several more years before finally finding a bit of a path that allowed the ’Marrow Nourishment Chapter’ to be cultivated, enabling him to smoothly break through to the Life and Death Realm.

Subsequently, he spent over a decade on cultivation technique, researching the next Chapter’s cultivation method. Although he felt the path might be wrong, it was at least cultivable, certainly safer than the path of foreign bloodlines.

So he continued cultivating.

After that, he struggled immensely to breakthrough to the Creation Realm.

But at this point, because the initial path taken had some issues, his cultivation was extremely difficult for a long time afterward.

This made him keenly aware that issues likely existed in his ’Marrow Nourishment Chapter’ as well as later cultivation methods, and he wanted to correct them.

Yet he found no way to start.

Because he simply couldn’t think of a better method beyond what he had worked out.

Though it troubled him, Ji Wudao gave up after pondering for several decades.

Although it wasn’t quite right, at least, it was stronger than the path of foreign bloodlines.

He should be content.

Now, with the help of the Phoenix Sun Blazing Spirit Fruit, his cultivation successfully reached the pinnacle of the Creation Realm, forcing him to contemplate the issues of the next step in Chrono Light Realm cultivation methods.

This also made him too afraid to attempt a breakthrough, as looking at his previous self-devised cultivation paths, another hasty attempt this time could be life-threatening.

As such, Ji Wudao prepared for the possibility of not advancing his cultivation for the next decade.

At this time, Mu Jinyu brought him immense surprise.

He had acquired the sole Human Emperor’s technique, the root of the ’Humanity Path Sutra.’

How could he not be thrilled by this?

This would allow him to rectify the errors in his cultivation path and enable him to walk further ahead, with a future much broader than the path of foreign bloodlines.

After all, the path of foreign bloodline cultivation, even up to reaching the Great Void-breaking Realm to Life and Death Realm, presents a hurdle.

Only by using the Life and Death Creation Fluid to cleanse the marrow and cut the veins could one continue to cultivate to the Creation Realm, even the Chrono Light Realm.

But by then, it essentially leads to a dead end, with no possibility for continued cultivation.

Yet this path of cultivation is still somewhat stronger than the humanity path cultivation method of the ’Humanity Path Sutra,’ and easier to cultivate, which is why it was mainstream.

But now, the prospects of the human path would become broader, which also proved that Ji Wudao’s choice decades ago was not wrong, and naturally he was filled with excitement and joy.
