To Surpass Dao

To Surpass Dao chapter 9 : Entering the cave

He also thought of how he ended up in this world, the more determined he became.“Free things are always accompanied by a huge price in the end. I should try and survive by hard work and make the system like a shifu, that can only offer small guidance. Formations, Alchemy, and Cultivation techniques I’ve immersed from the system through my creativity enough to improve myself if anything unexpected occurs. In case I receive pills as rewards for tasks I can also learn how to refine them too.”

Luo Ping put the idea of being put aside and remembered the MC that seemed to have been brought into Douluo continent and the system disappeared leaving him desperate. Or the upgrade notice then disappears for more than a millennium or indefinitely. He created a technique of parallel minds to allow there to be several consciousnesses that think independently on issues and offer suggestions in the fastest time possible. The technique received four upgrades and he leveled it to the peak of the third level. He seems to have an AI of his own in the head, implying that he can improve his intelligence with time.

After organizing his thoughts he looked at the cave with caution before activating his eye skills, which seem to be on a whole new level compared to Tang Sang’s(MC Douluo Dalu) Purple demon eyes. Upgraded to the fourth Realm but only leveled to the second realm fourth level yet it could devour even light. Used properly the technique is capable of destroying the soul of the strongest person in this world but due to having a low cultivation level can only use the First realm despite the level he had upgraded it to, so are the other techniques otherwise it would be harming the body. 

The ability to destroy the soul comes from the first realm seventh level and the time stop ability is the ninth level. The first realm already is so overpowered imagine the use of the fourth realm. All the nine abilities in that realm could be said to have reached a terrifying proportion. Advancing the techniques really is among the main benefits the system offered Luo Ping even if he had numerous worries.

He had pushed the aura restraining technique to the peak of the third realm since it consumed less exp to level up. He stopped since he had to improve others, thus it indicates no one could be able to see through things he has yet to allow on his body.

Luo Ping went into the cave and if any medicine herbs were found he could pick them up and store them properly in the system space. He had already created some storage rings once he improved the level of refining but the medicine herbs were too important in improving the level of alchemy and also for creating a reserve of pills. He planned to sell grade 1 and 2 pills since they might have less attention and he could change his aura and disappear after obtaining the money. Having some clothes from the place was also important, so he could only raise his money himself. They had to wait till he joined a sect.

The more he moved the stronger the spiritual energy and the barrier to entering the star cultivation increased. He only had to convert the miniature planet into a star. The amount of spirit energy required for the process is too much but the benefits are numerous since he could be more powerful with ten times the lifespan he had. Considering his blood energy and body cultivation art he could be ranked among beasts so hundred times lives added to the already present and once he breakthrough another ten times. 

He decided to collect the spiritual medical herbs first before thinking anything such as breakthroughs. He moved and eventually found the quality of both medicines increased in years, an indication of the concentration of spirit energy very high and lack of any living beings present. The coercion from blood seemed to be from a dragon and he could hear illusions of a dragon roaring in the air.

 “ Beasts are very sensitive. Maybe they become afraid of approaching this region because it is the same from the outside perimeter several hundred kilometers around the cave.” Baoza concluded and  also thought, “If my blood had yet to be increased or willpower leveled up to the peak perhaps I could also just start trembling at several meters before even reaching this place.”

Reaching a huge door, Luo Ping collected all the spiritual herbs that had a lifespan of thousands ignoring the rest before eventually approaching a door. Pushing it took some effort and eventually he managed to open it only to see a pair of golden eyes that seemed to overlook the starry skies. He got flustered and even some fear became apparent in my heart. “Human, you came eventually?”

Confused, Luo Ping looked around and it indeed seemed to be addressing him, before he could reply, “ Yeah.. you. I observed you once you reached the cave but left and then also came back. Very interesting a weak human is the only one that managed to get in.” The dragon laugh could be heard and it even confused him, how did he find it funny when he had yet to speak. 

“Senior? Have you been to the outside world?” He asked and it even laughed more and said, “ of course, back then I had reached the peak of this world.. Little kid, why are you asking?”

After listening to the dragon recount some of its glory, Luo Ping asked, “ How is the place divided, the people there?” Luo Ping obviously told it about how he woke up in the middle of the forest as a baby and had to survive there till now. 

The dragon seemed to think of something, then seemed relieved and said,” No wonder your scent smells like this great one, you have grown in this great one's domain. Humans have sects but the mid-level ones exist close to the forest about several hundred kilometers…” After getting information from the dragon he seemed to be lost in thought. He asked, “ Can I join a sect?” The dragon found it amusing and replied, “ Yeah the mid-level sects you can become an outer disciple since you are at your current realm or breakthrough and become an inner disciple..”
