Chapter 17

The scripture was still the same scripture, but the principles contained within it had become completely different, leaving Henry Carter utterly astonished!

“Have I gone mad from reading too much?”

For a moment, Henry Carter couldn’t even tell if the scene he was experiencing was real or just a bizarre dream.

However, driven by an inexplicable impulse, he subconsciously kept reading.

“Heavenly arts?”

“This is... is this a kind of deduction technique?”

Strangely, after seeing those scriptures, all the golden characters began to dance, like endless shooting stars, rushing into the center of his brow. Then, in his mind, a mysterious new method appeared.

“Three thousand great Daos fused into one furnace, with a single technique in the heart, myriad arts are possible...”

Sensing that method, Henry Carter’s face gradually turned pale.

He could hardly believe the information appearing in his mind, because it was just too... too outrageous!

“The three thousand Daos, all within the primordial unity; by deducing with this technique, all the arts of the world are within one’s grasp...”

Just as he was in shock, unsure whether to trust the information in his mind, he subconsciously recalled the only cultivation method he currently possessed—the basic Qi Refining technique of the Qingyang Sect. He had been practicing it for a month now. Though diligent, there were still many unresolved doubts, and it was precisely these doubts that prevented him from achieving perfection in the first layer of Qi Refining.

Originally, these doubts were like a tangled mess in Henry Carter’s heart.

To resolve them, he could only consult the elders of the immortal sect, or slowly experiment on his own.

But at that moment, as Henry Carter subconsciously tried to use the deduction technique in his mind to analyze that cultivation method, he suddenly felt a dramatic change within himself, as if some of his inner strength had been drawn away by an unseen force.

This sudden sense of exhaustion made his head spin, and he nearly collapsed to the ground...

But just as he was startled and hurriedly withdrew his mind, he suddenly froze.

Within his sea of consciousness, a clear spiritual imprint appeared!

This imprint was none other than the basic Qi Refining technique of the Qingyang Sect. But unlike before, when it was shrouded in confusion and difficult to comprehend, now it appeared in his mind with perfect clarity, like a straight road leading directly to the heavens!

The doubts that had troubled him for so long were instantly resolved. In a flash, he understood exactly what he needed to do to most directly and reliably push his cultivation to the completion of the first layer of Qi Refining. Even more, he realized that there were many issues within the Qingyang Sect’s basic Qi Refining technique itself. If these could be eliminated, his cultivation efficiency would undoubtedly soar...

“So this is the secret of the True Explanation of Dao Origin?”

Although the sudden loss of a large amount of energy left his face pale and his forehead aching, Henry Carter’s expression was one of wild joy, his eyes shining, his heart filled with indescribable delight...

“This True Explanation of Dao Origin is definitely not a fake...”

“There really is a deduction technique hidden within it...”

What was hidden in the True Explanation of Dao Origin was not a cultivation method, but something that surpassed any cultivation method in the world!

Because it was a miraculous technique used to deduce and improve cultivation methods, enhancing their efficiency and quality...

It was a supreme art, formed by integrating the cultivation methods and principles of all the great immortal sects in the world. Its function was to break down any known cultivation technique and, from that, deduce a more efficient and powerful method!

Three thousand Daos, all paths lead to the same destination!

Some say that all cultivation methods in the world ultimately lead to the same endpoint, but this miraculous technique was created by tracing back from that endpoint. It already encompassed the three thousand Daos, allowing one to see through endless illusions and directly grasp the true essence of cultivation...

“There are three thousand great Daos in the world, but I will break them all with a single technique...”

Henry Carter’s expression grew more and more animated, his fists clenched tightly as if grasping all things: “Although it seems to consume a great deal of my mental energy to perform this deduction, even so, this is just... too... too incredible, isn’t it?”

“Junior Brother Carter, Junior Brother Carter, are you alright?”

Suddenly, a voice called out, pulling Henry Carter’s mind back to reality. He saw the ugly face of Steward Reed before him, and all the golden scriptures around him had vanished. He was still sitting against the bookshelf, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but a strange dream.

“I saw you sitting here hugging an empty book, staring off into space as soon as I came over. Did you get hit too hard?”

Steward Reed sighed as he pulled him up, looking him over and asking.

“Empty book?”

Henry Carter was momentarily stunned, then looked down, and was once again taken aback.

The True Explanation of Dao Origin, which had just been filled with scripture, now didn’t have a single word left. Only the empty pages remained, with just Elder Gu Song’s seal on the first page, as if all the scriptures had escaped from the book.

“Uh, it’s nothing, nothing, I was just thinking about something!”
