Chapter 51: Cultivate the Invincible Dao, Walk the Invincible Path!

Those beams of light did not scatter; instead, under the guidance of the Willow Deity, they landed one by one in front of Zhu Chen.

As the radiance upon them dissipated, treasures overflowing with brilliant light appeared before Zhu Chen's eyes.

These were the inheritances of the Supreme Hall.

There were three items in total.

The first was the Supreme Hall's foundational inheritance—the "Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art"!

This was a method for wielding precious techniques, allowing the practitioner to fuse and stack multiple techniques to unleash a single, most powerful strike.

The second item was a collection of precious techniques gathered by the Supreme Hall.

While the power of these techniques did not reach the level of the Ten Great Evils, they were nonetheless extremely rare Primordial precious techniques.

The key was their quantity and how easy they were to learn.

As for the third item, it was a Ten Great Evils precious technique that the Supreme Hall had obtained back in the day.

It was named the "Grass Sword Manual"!

Originating from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, this technique manifested as nine blades of grass, as sharp as swords. A single strike could split the stars; it was peerlessly domineering.

Legend had it that this sword manual had already gained illustrious fame during the Primordial Era, possessing the power to sever time and space and crack the universe. It was the Supreme Hall's most sacred treasure.

"I had heard that the inheritances of the Supreme Hall in the Upper Realm possessed supreme precious techniques, but I did not expect them to be this Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art and the Grass Sword Manual..."

As her cultivation recovered, the Willow Deity's memories were continuously being perfected, allowing her to recognize the contents of this treasure trove at a single glance.

"Willow Deity, do you want to learn these techniques and methods?" Zhu Chen asked generously.

The Willow Deity's eyes flickered. "You are willing to share this inheritance with me?"

"Why not?"

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Chen sent the items directly to her.

The stronger the Willow Deity's cultivation became, the more he would benefit in the future.

He hoped the Willow Deity would break through to the Emperor realm right now.

If she did, his "brother" would be elevated to Emperor, and perhaps he could directly ascend to the Dao!

The Willow Deity was not an indecisive person. Seeing that Zhu Chen was willing to share these things, she did not act coy.

However, she only borrowed the "Grass Sword Manual" for comprehension.

In return, she gave Zhu Chen her own "Willow Deity Method" and the "True Phoenix Precious Technique."

This caused Zhu Chen to feel a surge of excitement.

The "Willow Deity Method" was the Willow Deity's innate divine ability. It contained her analysis of the mysteries of life, as well as the methods of Nirvana—destruction and rebirth—allowing one to find vitality within destruction.

Upon reaching Great Success, one could transform thousands of willow branches into chains of order that pierced through all directions with endless power.

Furthermore, those who practiced this technique could obtain even greater strength through continuous cycles of Nirvana and rebirth.

As for the "True Phoenix Precious Technique," there was even less to be said!

One of the Ten Great Evils, its power was absolutely not inferior to the "Grass Sword Manual"!

Zhu Chen was the bloodline successor of the Primordial Vermilion Bird.

Practicing the "True Phoenix Precious Technique," which also carried the attribute of fire, was perfectly suited to him.

"You may learn my method, but as for the Grass Sword Manual and the True Phoenix Precious Technique, it is best not to use them lightly until your cultivation reaches the True God Realm, otherwise, you may invite disaster..."

After passing the two techniques to Zhu Chen, the Willow Deity gave him a word of caution.

Zhu Chen naturally understood the principle that "an innocent man is guilty simply for possessing a treasure."

He also knew she was saying this for his own good.

But he did not want to cultivate with such hesitation and fear.

After storing the two techniques into his Grotto-heaven, Zhu Chen immediately looked up and stared directly at the Willow Deity. "Willow Deity, you said it yourself just now: the sword is born from the fire. True experts are tempered through constant combat. If I am always worried that others will come for me and thus act with hesitation, then I don't think I will ever become the strongest in this world, sweeping away all enemies under heaven."

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.

It was the invincible momentum possessed only by a young Supreme!

However, this aura lacked a certain sharpness.

The ultimate reason was that he had experienced too few battles.

"Since you have made such a decision, I have nothing more to say. But remember, you are not the only one who wishes to walk the path of invincibility. In the Primordial Era and the Immortal Ancient Era, there were many brilliant young geniuses who wished to walk an invincible path with supreme talent to sweep away all enemies, but they all eventually perished on that road. This path is destined to be covered in thorns; one slight mistake, and you will fall into eternal perdition..." the Willow Deity said with a light sigh.

The path of invincibility—this was a path every powerhouse wanted to walk, but none dared to.

Because once a cultivator stepped onto this path, it meant they had to face every battle personally, with no possibility of escape.

Even if an opponent's cultivation far exceeded their own, they had to fight.

If they fled without fighting, or even showed a hint of a fear of battle, their invincible heart would crumble.

A damaged Dao heart would, at best, lead to a drop in cultivation and a permanent halt in progress; at worst, it would lead to the destruction of their cultivation and their death!

After warning Zhu Chen, the Willow Deity took the initiative to dissipate her physical form.

She had said all she needed to say; as for how Zhu Chen would choose to proceed, that was not for her to interfere with.

"Little friend... you have obtained a massive opportunity!"

Shi Yunfeng had been standing nearby since the beginning and had heard the conversation between the Willow Deity and Zhu Chen. Although his cultivation was low and he lacked experience—meaning he couldn't understand much of what they were discussing—he saw one thing clearly.

That was that Zhu Chen had obtained another immense opportunity from the Willow Deity.

Zhu Chen turned to look at the elderly village chief, just as he was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a villager from the Shi Village patrol ran up in a frantic rush.

"Chief, something bad has happened! A disaster!"

"Don't panic, speak slowly. What exactly happened?" Shi Yunfeng hurried forward to ask.

The villager swallowed hard and said with a terrified expression, "We encountered a group of bandits while hunting outside with the Princess of the Fire Kingdom. Not only did they rob us of our prey, but they also wanted to capture us all. To cover our retreat, the Princess stayed behind alone..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yunfeng flew into a rage. "Your hunting team consists of the strongest men in Shi Village! How could you leave a young girl there?"

The villager said with a grim face, "Chief, there were cultivators in the Cave-heaven Realm among those bandits. We were no match for them at all. Shi Hu and Shi Shan were both heavily injured by them."

"Where are those bandits?"

Zhu Chen stepped out from behind Shi Yunfeng, a flash of intense killing intent crossing his eyes.

Huo Ling'er was the woman he had chosen as his wife; if those bandits dared to touch her, they were surely seeking death.

"They are in the forest thirty miles to the northwest, but I don't know if they are still there..." The villager pointed in a direction toward Zhu Chen.

Seeing this, Zhu Chen did not hesitate for a moment. Spreading his wings, his body instantly turned into a streak of light and soared into the sky, vanishing toward the horizon in the blink of an eye.
