I Fabricated the Techniques, but My Disciple Really Mastered Them?

“Even I understand why Taicang did this. The Border Wilderness appears ravaged and devoid of Spirit Spark, diverting attention away so no one discovers my presence here…”

Tian Zi sighed wistfully, then angrily added, “But Taicang is too cruel! Everything left for me is gone, even the last bed is no more. How am I supposed to live from now on?”

Next, Tian Zi looked earnestly at Li Xuan and said, “Senior, do you think you could…?”

Li Xuan smiled in surprise and said, “This may be a good thing for you. Since you’ve been hidden, why expose yourself?

“Freeing you is easy for me, but have you thought about it? After hiding for so many long years, are you really willing to reveal yourself?”

Even with Taicang’s power, it had perished. Although the current Taicang Domain seemed safe,

what if Tian Zi’s exposure attracted a strong opponent from the Imperishable Temple?

Li Xuan wasn’t sure if he could oppose a strong foe from the Imperishable Temple while inside the Taicang Domain by harnessing the entire Domain’s power.

After all, even with his current Establishing Dao Realm, numerous Divine Skills, and the Breathless Silence Sword in hand, tapping into Taicang’s Domain Power didn’t guarantee victory over Taicang.

Therefore, it wasn’t possible for Tian Zi to be completely free for now, but a plan could definitely be set in motion.

“What if I’m unwilling? I don’t want to be trapped here even for another moment. Taicang is such a bastard, dying just like that and leaving me to suffer here alone.”

Tian Zi harbored deep resentment.

“Of course, I know the one to truly hate is that terrifying guy. But he’s too strong, I can’t beat him. Otherwise, I’d want to kill him too.

“If not for him, how would I, Tian Zi, have suffered here for so many years?”

Speaking of the powerful individual from the Imperishable Temple, Tian Zi was evidently filled with hatred.

No matter how one saw it, he was created by Taicang, and in a way, Taicang was like a father to him.

“Those who followed Taicang are all useless. So many years have passed, and not one has broken through the limits to reach the point where Taicang once was?”

Tian Zi fumed as he spoke, then started cursing angrily.

“The changes in Taicang Domain—the Border Wilderness, Inner Domain, Spiritual Realm—are all about nurturing a new Master of Domain, yet those people haven’t moved at all, or they each have their own plans…

“The former core of Taicang Domain is today’s Three Hundred Realms of the Dao Realm, and those Realm Masters, they’re all bastards…”

The more Tian Zi cursed, the more furious he became, babbling incessantly, occasionally lamenting how miserable his life was.

Li Xuan remained silent as Tian Zi played the role of a pitiful figure.

“The Three Hundred Realms of the Dao Realm, huh, three hundred Realm Masters? Well, there aren’t that many now.”

Li Xuan thought to himself.

The Three Hundred Realms of the Dao Realm, each realm was like a small Domain.

Without a doubt, these three hundred realms were opened by the powerful figures who once followed Taicang, the former Minor Domain Masters.

Li Xuan had already understood the Martial Arts strength within Taicang Domain.

“Heavenly Union, Divine Venerate, Supreme Sovereign, Realm Master… now the Realm Master is the strongest in Taicang Domain, and the seven of Taicang are the Masters of Domain.

“The Realm Master was once called the Minor Domain Master.

“Among the Masters of Domain, Taicang was the strongest, and the formidable entity from the Imperishable Temple even surpassed the Masters of Domain.”

Li Xuan assessed in his mind.

“My Martial Arts, with the Domain Realm comparable to Divine Venerates and Supreme Sovereigns; achieving Great Accomplishment in the Domain Realm grants the power of a Supreme Sovereign. The Establishing Dao Realm is equivalent to a Realm Master.

“Between the Supreme Sovereign and the Realm Master is a vast chasm, with an equally enormous gap between the Domain Realm and the Establishing Dao Realm.

“If I achieved Great Accomplishment or even Perfection in the Establishing Dao Realm, could I annihilate Taicang?”

Li Xuan wondered. Even if he reached Establishing Dao Realm Perfection, he feared it would still be difficult to destroy Taicang. However, he might not be weaker than Taicang, and among the other six Masters of Domain, he might be able to slay the weakest one.

Of course, the strength between Realm Masters could vary significantly.

The fact that Taicang alone could suppress the other six illustrated his formidable power.

“Only beyond the Establishing Dao Realm does one possess the threat to annihilate Taicang, and the ability to not fear the strong individuals from the Imperishable Temple…”

Li Xuan had clarity in his mind.

Under normal circumstances, the Establishing Dao Realm was akin to a Realm Master or slightly stronger, but he wasn’t a typical Establishing Dao Realm, which was why he had such strength within it.

“That said, it’s not impossible to find another path, to continue enhancing strength before surpassing the Establishing Dao Realm.”

Thinking this, Li Xuan looked at the cursing, occasionally tearful Tian Zi and smiled, “Young friend, you are the spirit of the Taicang Domain. Do you wish to enhance the Taicang Domain?

“Do you want to prevent those eyeing the Domain from being able to act against it?”

Tian Zi’s spirit immediately lifted.

“Senior, I do, I’ve dreamed of it!”

Li Xuan stood up, walked out of the small stone house, with Tian Zi instinctively following. He surprisingly walked out of the small stone house, even out of the palace covering the stone house.

At that moment, Tian Zi was shocked. The shackles on his body had been partially unlocked!

Li Xuan looked up at the firmament, laughed, and said, “As I said, this Domain is missing something and is too weak, but you can fill in those missing elements.”

“If I fill in what’s missing, won’t I die?”

Tian Zi couldn’t help but shiver.

“You won’t.”

Li Xuan beamed, patting Tian Zi’s shoulder, and said, “I came to Taicang Domain to travel. Inspired by the heart, I accepted a few apprentices; they are in the midst of growing.

“The Martial Art I teach is called Great Wilderness Martial Arts, and now the Inner Domain is the Great Wilderness.

“This Domain’s missing parts still need to be supplemented. With Taicang dead, now only you can do it.”

Tian Zi asked puzzledly, “Senior, you keep saying this Domain lacks something. What does it lack?”

Li Xuan turned back to look at him and uttered two words, “Heavenly Dao!”

Heavenly Dao!

Tian Zi was dazed, murmuring, “Heavenly Dao?”

“Correct, Heavenly Dao!”

Li Xuan nodded and said, “The Taicang Domain has its Dao Principles, appearing to function smoothly and seamlessly, but it ultimately lacks the Way of Heaven. If the Heavenly Dao existed, running the sun and moon, the cosmos would continue to strengthen and expand, maintaining the balance of the domain…”

Li Xuan was indoctrinating Tian Zi with his concept of the Heavenly Dao.

“You are the spirit of the domain, well-suited to unify with the domain into Heavenly Dao, but in the beginning, you shouldn’t control all of Taicang Domain.

“And with Taicang dead, this domain is no longer just Taicang’s Domain, which can also hide you, allowing you to discard all past causes and effects…”

Li Xuan smoothly spoke about how powerful the Heavenly Dao was, how it controlled domains, received the reverence of domain’s beings, and how it strengthened itself, ensuring continued growth of the domain.

Tian Zi’s eyes grew brighter as he listened, excitedly saying, “Senior, I want to become this Heavenly Dao. Please teach me!”

“Oh, you want to be Heavenly Dao? What kind of Heavenly Dao would you be then?”

Li Xuan asked with a smile.

Tian Zi assumed a solemn expression and answered earnestly, “With Taicang dead, the Great Wilderness should rise. I am the Great Wilderness Heavenly Path!”

Li Xuan nodded silently; Tian Zi was a clever one.

“Your resolute determination is commendable. Since you’ve decided, this Daoist Ancestor will teach you the Heavenly Dao techniques, showing you how to become Heavenly Dao. Of course, if you’re too dimwitted to grasp it, it simply means you’re not meant to be Heavenly Dao.”

Li Xuan nodded and said.

“Don’t worry, Daoist Ancestor, I have great talent.”

Tian Zi said, puffing out his chest.

“Let’s hope so.”

Li Xuan didn’t broach the topic of taking him as a disciple; Tian Zi’s real strength within Taicang Domain was stronger than those Realm Masters, as he was the spirit of the domain.

“Daoist Ancestor, you are teaching me the ways of the Heavenly Dao, and from now on, I will be the Great Wilderness Heavenly Path. You, Daoist Ancestor, being the Great Wilderness Martial Ancestor, means I, Tian Zi, am under your tutelage… an apprentice?

Tian Zi scratched his head, pondering as he asked.

“Up to you!”

Li Xuan chuckled wryly.

“Then it’s settled. I, Tian Zi, am a pupil under Daoist Ancestor!”

Tian Zi declared happily.

Li Xuan shook his head with a smile; Tian Zi had a nimble mind.

“You are the spirit of the domain, so wanting to become the Heavenly Dao is much simpler. The techniques of the Heavenly Dao are simple as well, initially using the Taicang Domain Dao Principles as the foundation, but not entirely following them…”

Li Xuan produced a book in his hand.

It was the Book of Taicang!

Tian Zi froze for a moment, his expression suddenly becoming more desolate as he sighed, “Taicang certainly left a fallback plan, wanting future generations to retrace his path and become the new master of the Taicang Domain, guarding it!”
