Ning Cheng knew that this skeleton was stunned, if it was before he entered the Tai Su Secret Realm, not to mention two Bodhi Heavenly Buds, even a single Bodhi Heavenly Bud leaf would have been an unattainable treasure for him. Previously, he had found more than a hundred Bodhi Heavenly Buds in the Divine Spirit Herb Garden guarded by the Human Faced Poisonous Centipede. The bones on this skeleton’s body glowed golden, so it was obvious that like him, he was a top-level body refining powerhouse. For a top-level body refiner, I was afraid that a single Bodhisattva Heavenly Bud would not be able to perfectly restore his flesh and blood. Moreover, Ning Cheng felt that this person was not a cunning person, and would definitely not deny it after restoring his flesh and blood. Ning Cheng was simply more generous and took out two plants at once, he was begging this skeleton. Ning Cheng had not been trapped in the Tai Su Mystic Stone Forest for a day or two, he naturally knew how terrifying it was. Even if he could cultivate here and support himself for 600,000 years, it would not matter, he did not want to waste this time. This skeleton had been here for tens of thousands of years and said that he had a set of ways to get out, so it should be true. Secondly, he didn’t have a body refining technique after his astral body, he also wanted to consult this skeleton in front of him. The skeleton began to use the things Ning Cheng gave him to recover his essence blood and flesh, Ning Cheng did not continue to do useless work looking around, but waited on the side. A few more days passed and when Ning Cheng saw the skeleton male cultivator coming out of his temporary cave, he also put away his own cave and walked out. At this time, the skeleton male cultivator had flesh and blood on his body, and although he was so skinny and weak that he could even be described as skin and bones, he was far from being just a skeleton back then. The aura on Qi XIII Xing’s body was somewhat weak, and Ning Cheng could tell that when he recovered, he would also be a strong person. “Many thanks to my friend for saving me in good faith. My name is Qi Thirteen Stars, I was originally an inner disciple of the Xuan Yue Divine Sect.” The male cultivator bowed to Ning Cheng as soon as he came up, his eyes filled with the joy of having escaped from death. Ning Cheng had heard of the Xuan Yue Divine Sect, one of the top ten sects in the Tai Su Domain, and this Qi XIII Xing’s name was a little too strange. Ning Cheng had seen a lot of strange things. He didn’t care about a name either, and with only a slight surprise he cupped his fist and said, “My name is Ning Cheng, and it was by chance that I was able to save Brother Qi. When Brother Qi recovers, I will still have to rely on Brother Qi’s hand.” Ning Cheng did not hide this time. He said his real name. Qi Thirteen Stars saw Ning Cheng’s doubts and smiled, “When I was born, I had thirteen starbursts on my forehead. When I opened my eyes, these thirteen starbursts did not enter my body. My father then gave me this name. Brother Ning, did you come all the way to the Tai Su Mystic Stone Forest?” Come all the way here? Ning Cheng waved his hand and said, “No, I was chased by a human-faced poisonous centipede and fled here.” Qi Thirteen Stars looked at Ning Cheng in shock, “Could it be that you have found the Pill Garden of the Minh Kong Dan Sage? There is a human-faced poisonous centipede guarding the Min Kong Dan Sage’s medicinal garden, and that human-faced poisonous centipede’s cultivation level has long surpassed that of a Dao-shaping powerhouse, so how did you escape?” Without waiting for Ning Cheng to answer, Qi XIII Xing’s eyes lit up. “No wonder you were able to come up with two Bodhisattva Heavenly Buds, you actually found the Pill Garden of the Min Khong Dan Saint ……” “The Pill Garden of the Min Khong Dan Saint?” Ning Cheng asked in confusion. Qi XIII Xing nodded, “Right. If it is guarded by the Human Faced Poisonous Centipede, then it is the Pill Garden of the Minh Kong Dan Sage. The Min Kong Dan Sage was a top Dao Yuan Dan Sage, and back then, he had a superb status in the Tai Su Realm, and there was no one who didn’t respect him. It was just that the divine spirit grasses in the Tai Su Realm grew slowly, and were increasingly insufficient to provide for his pill-making needs. And in the Tai Su Secret Realm, it was perfect for the growth of divine spirit grasses. The Min K’ung Dan Sage wasted his own cultivation. He took his beast pet, the Human Faced Poisonous Centipede, into the Tai Su Secret Realm, which he heard was to cultivate the Divine Spirit Grass for pill making. But after he entered the Tai Su Secret Realm. He was never heard from again. Brother Ning, you said that you met the Human Faced Poisonous Centipede, so it must be the Pill Garden of the Min Khong Dan Sage.” Ning Cheng couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. There were really all kinds of people. There was even someone like the Min Khong Dan Sage, who ruined his cultivation just to come in and cultivate the divine Spirit Grass? If it was him, he would never have done that. It looked like those two poisonous centipedes should be the offspring of the one that had chased him, so I guess even Qi XIII Xing didn’t know about it, and Ning Cheng didn’t bother to explain. Seeing Ning Cheng’s speechless look, Qi Thirteen Stars said, “Some people also said that the Minh Kong Dan Saint was trying to open up the precedent of the third step of the Dao of Evidence from the Dao of Dan, perhaps he failed.” Hearing this, Ning Cheng’s spirit lifted and he hurriedly asked, “Brother Qi, is it true that there is a third step in the Dao of Enlightenment?” Qi XIII Xing looked at Ning Cheng with suspicion and asked, “Brother Ning, you should also be a great sect disciple with your abilities, right? Did your master not teach you anything in this regard?” Ning Cheng had only given a name before and did not name the sect, Qi XIII Xing thought that Ning Cheng was not willing to tell, so he did not ask, not even thinking that a cultivator like Ning Cheng, who could escape the Human Faced Poison Centipede’s pursuit, was a casual cultivator. Ning Cheng smiled, “I am a loose cultivator, so indeed there is no one to teach such things.” Qi Thirteen Stars froze, and then he sighed and said, “No wonder this is so, the Third Step of the Dao of Evidence definitely exists, but the Tai Su Realm is absolutely unable to cross into the Third Step since the rules were broken. So I can only tell you that the third step exists, and that if you want to step into the third step, you must either go to the Tai Su Realm or have a complete rule world of your own like the Tai Su Realm.” “I’ve heard that in the Tai Su Realm cultivation to the most powerful is to merge with the Dao, just how powerful is the Dao of Mergence?” Ning Cheng had managed to find someone to ask about these things, so naturally he wanted to ask all his unanswered questions. “Harmonious Dao?” Qi Thirteen Stars sighed and said, “Actually, some merging paths aren’t as powerful as you think, there are ten thousand merging paths. Although there are millions of paths to merging dao, in the Tai Su Realm, there are not many cultivators who can walk the path of powerful merging dao.” “I would like to hear more about it.” Ning Cheng had long forgotten that at this time, he should go out, and instead took out a stone mound and placed it beside Qi XIII Xing. Then he took out another stone mound and sat down himself. Qi XIII Xing knew how difficult it was as a casual cultivator, it was normal for Ning Cheng not to know this, and after he sat down, he said, “Brother Ning, let me explain it to you briefly. If we can get out of the Lost Stone Forest this time, I invite you to go to my Xuan Yue Divine Sect’s Divine Scroll Pavilion to look through the canonical scrolls ……” This promise was a great favor to Ning Cheng, the most important place of a sect was the Scroll Collection Pavilion. For Qi XIII Xing to promise this, on one hand, represented his unusual status, and on the other hand, it showed that he was truly grateful to Ning Cheng. Stopping Ning Cheng’s thanks, Qi Thirteen Stars continued, “I said that Dao Harmony is not necessarily as powerful as you think, it is not that Dao Harmony itself is not strong, but there are simply too many paths to Dao Harmony. The most common paths we take to merge with the Dao are to merge the Realm Dao with one’s body, to merge the Dao with one’s body, to merge the False Dao with one’s body, and so on. My father told me that none of these Dao mergers are considered to be supreme Dao mergers ……” Seeing Ning Cheng wanting to ask, Qi XIII Xing waved his hand, “Brother Ning, you shouldn’t ask me either, I don’t know what supreme Dao merging is, and neither does my father. I can only talk to you about the common means of Dao Harmonization in my Tai Su Realm. Merging the Dao of the Realm with one’s body is the most common, and it is also the strongest after merging the Dao. This is to manifest the Dao with one’s body and exist with the interface, and anyone who is in the interface he merges with is also a mole. However, it is not that he wants to leave the merging dao interface, it is not impossible, it is very difficult. Taking on the Dao with one’s body was only possible for those who possessed the topmost innate treasures. Such strong people fuse their Dao thoughts with the innate treasures and ask for the peak of the Dao with the help of the might of the innate treasures. Compared to the Incarnate Realm Daoist, this kind of strong person can go anywhere and is freer. However, they need to cut off their emotions and fuse their dao thoughts with the innate treasure ……,” Ning Cheng said with a sigh, “What is the difference between this and a weapon spirit?” Qi Thirteen Stars smiled, “It is still completely different from an artifact spirit, a dao merger only uses an innate magic treasure to host dao thoughts, not an artifact spirit. As for using one’s body to merge with a false dao, my father said that this does not belong to merging the dao at all. Rather, it was a means by which some powerful people worked their way closer to merging with the Dao. It was even equivalent to a half-step Harmonious Dao Saint Emperor, stronger than a hybrid, but not comparable to a true Harmonious Dao powerhouse.” Ning Cheng shook his head, these three ways of Dao Harmony were not what he wanted. Seeing Ning Cheng shake his head, Qi Thirteen Stars smiled and said, “We are still a hundred thousand miles away from Dao Harmonization, there is no need to think so much about it.” Ning Cheng put these things aside and asked, “Brother Qi, you asked me earlier if I came here specifically, did anyone else come here specifically?” Qi XIII said with a sigh, “I came here specifically. The strength or weakness of a cultivator, and how far that cultivator can go after attaining Dao enlightenment, or even whether or not they can attain Dao enlightenment, apart from the understanding of the Dao and the conversion of divine energy, the most important thing is a strong sea of consciousness and a condensed divine sense.” On this point Ning Cheng agreed, “Right, I agree with Brother Qi’s words.” He was able to far surpass his peers, apart from his powerful gong method and the condensation of his astral essence, the main thing was a strong sea of consciousness. And the stronger the sea of consciousness was, the more powerful the epiphany of dao and divine abilities would be. “Many powerful sects know that the Tai Su Mystic Stone Forest has a way to condense divine consciousness and strengthen the sea of consciousness, only all of them don’t know exactly what it is. For countless years, I don’t know how many people have entered the Tai Su Mystic Stone Forest, but none of them have been able to walk out. Even if someone had found the way, they would only fall in this place.” Speaking here, Qi XIII Xing sighed once again, somewhat sighing. Although Ning Cheng had saved him, he still did not know if he would be able to get out. “There is a way to condense divine sense here? Then why haven’t I heard of it?” Ning Cheng asked in amazement. Qi XIII Xing gave a hmph, “The original name of the Tai Su Lost Stone Forest was Tai Su Lost Forest, meaning that anyone who entered this place would be lost and eventually fall. Those who knew about it were rarely willing to come over. Moreover, this place was far away from the teleportation array, and even if an Eternal Realm cultivator flew as fast as he could, it would still take him three or four months to come over, and three or four months to go back by then. So most cultivators simply don’t have the time to come here, and likewise, it’s true that not many casual cultivators know about this news.” …… (unfinished
