Chapter 1359: Chapter 30: Dao Intention Organs – 3 Chapter 1359: Chapter 30: Dao Intention Organs – 3 “So you’re saying, if you refine the body of a divine beast cub, you could obtain its Dao Intention?”

Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask.

Qi Yan came to a halt upon hearing this and then firmly shook his head,

“Heavenly Dao cherishes balance, and innate divine beasts vastly surpass their peers in strength.

How could they be easily bred?

Instead of focusing on breeding a large number of divine beasts, it would be better to understand the differences between the bodies of divine beasts and ordinary spirit beasts and then make use of that.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba frowned in thought.

Qi Yan’s words had unexpectedly sparked some ideas in his mind.

But Qi Yan didn’t stop there and continued,

“I’ve previously dissected the body of the hybrid White Tiger, trying to find out what exactly is different about it that could contain Dao Intention…”

Wang Ba glanced at the scars and sparse fur on the White Tiger and began to understand why the hybrid was so fearful of Martial Uncle Qi.

“…To confirm my conjecture, I even altered its bloodline slightly.

...

Indeed, as the ‘Spirit Cat’ bloodline became slightly more prominent, its body structure also began to change.

I recorded all these changes, comparing them back and forth.”

So that’s why it had meowed like that.

“The same body, with changes due to bloodline alterations, that is the difference in the flesh between ordinary spirit beasts and divine beast offspring.

These changes in structure are probably the key to whether or not Dao Intention exists.”

Qi Yan turned his head, looking at the scars on the White Tiger with eyes full of joy,

“After decades of trial and error, I have finally found the key to how Dao Intention is nurtured in the White Tiger until it eventually forms into a Dao Secret!”

“That is its heart!”

“The heart?”

Wang Ba showed a look of surprise.

He was astonished that Martial Uncle Qi had actually found the key to the cultivation of Dao Intention in divine beasts and even more surprised that this key was a fixed organ in the body of the divine beast.

Qi Yan nodded,

“Yes, the heart.

I had never imagined that Dao Intention could be so concentrated, but after consulting records left by the past Patriarchs, and after thoroughly reexamining every slight change on it many times, and comparing with a large number of spirit beasts, I was finally sure, the place where Dao Intention was nurtured in this White Tiger was indeed its heart!”

“It’s just that this Dao Intention is hidden within its astonishing Qi and Blood, and although it has been used countless times, no one has been able to perceive it.”

Although Qi Yan spoke lightly, thinking back to Mo Qi’s words earlier, Wang Ba could imagine that Martial Uncle Qi had conducted a massive amount of comparative research before finally confirming this result.

He couldn’t help but sigh,

“Martial Uncle, you’ve worked hard.”

However, what puzzled Wang Ba was that there wasn’t much joy on Qi Yan’s face, he spoke solemnly,

“Now that we know the origin of this divine beast’s Dao Intention, the problem isn’t resolved.

Divine beast organs can contain Dao Intention, but ordinary spirit beasts cannot.

How to cultivate Dao Intention in spirit beasts as well and refine it en masse with minimal cost, that is the crucial point, but…”

He barely paused, his tone gradually becoming calm, laced with a hint of regret,

“I’m afraid I don’t have the time to do these things anymore.”

Wang Ba felt a sinking feeling in his heart, looking at Qi Yan with concern, “Martial Uncle, are you now…”

“I can hold on for another ten or more years, but it’s too late…

It’s already too late.”

“This little time probably won’t even be enough to complete the first step.”

Qi Yan looked up slightly, staring blankly at the ceiling of the Beast Controlling Cave, murmuring to himself.

There was both the confusion of not being able to step into Immortal Ascension and the desolation of not being to cultivate a truly Dao Intention-filled spirit beast.

Looking at his Martial Uncle, who once was vigorous and spirited but now was aging rapidly, there was an inexplicable pain in Wang Ba’s heart that he couldn’t shake off.

Just then, an idea suddenly struck him, and he turned to look at Qi Yan,

“Martial Uncle, perhaps there’s a way to extend your lifespan.”

Qi Yan paused for a moment, quickly regaining his composure, and gently waved his hand:

“You’re thinking of seeking help from Sect Leader Liang of the Longevity Sect, aren’t you?

There’s no need for that anymore.

My vitality is depleted, and I am utterly exhausted.

Even Sect Leader Liang’s Longevity Divine Power is unlikely to do much.”

However, Wang Ba slightly shook his head:

“No, I want you to try and see if you can attain Immortal Ascension.”

“Immortal Ascension?!”

Qi Yan froze in disbelief and then said with doubt:

“The Heavenly Dao has declined, Immortal Ascensions no longer occur.

How could one possibly achieve Immortal Ascension now…”

Wang Ba did not conceal anything and recounted the situation in the Eightfold Sea outside the West Sea Country and his own speculations, finally saying hesitantly:

“I’m not certain if it will work…”

But Qi Yan interrupted Wang Ba:

“This is the only possibility for me now, and it also counts as one last stride for the Sect.

If it succeeds, perhaps this world is not as dire as it seems.

If it does not, then it was meant to be.”

Hearing Qi Yan’s words, Wang Ba nodded in agreement, then reminded him:

“Then, Martial Uncle, please make sure to recover well.

Also, put the cultivation of the Spirit Beasts on hold for the time being.”

Qi Yan shook his head:

“The cultivation of the Spirit Beasts can’t wait.

Although there’s not much time left, I can still work out a general direction in these ten or so years.

It might save time for future generations…

Rest assured, since there’s a possibility to attain Immortal Ascension, I will not waste this chance.”

“You should return now.

Oh, and these are the results of my recent research.

Take them and have a look.

Perhaps in the future, you’ll be the one to take on these matters alone.”

Wang Ba took the Jade Slip from Qi Yan’s hand, feeling the undertone of farewell in his words, with complex emotions that could not be articulated.

Yet his face showed none of this, as he solemnly bowed to Qi Yan:

“Martial Uncle, when you think it’s the right time, just let me know, and I will come to escort you.”

Qi Yan merely waved his hand.

Wang Ba sighed inwardly and then, under the gaze of the Hybrid White Tiger filled with pleas for help and growing despair, he drifted away.

…

Boom!

Violent waves accompanied by shocking winds churned the entire sea into chaos, like the end of the world.

And amidst the overlapping of waves and winds, the roars of Demonic Beasts and sounds of fierce impacts could be faintly heard.

Dark splashes of water and unseen whirlwinds occasionally revealed glimpses of light and shadows.

Eventually, the roars of the Demonic Beasts and the sounds of impact gradually ceased.

The light and shadows within also quietly disappeared.

After a short while,

Four figures emerged in disarray from the hurricane that dragged along countless seawaters.

Their faces were filled with the joy of having survived a calamity.

It was Daoist Yuanci and his companions.

“Fortunately, Daoist Yuanci’s Divine Skills are extraordinary.

Using the power of Yuanci, he dragged that Demonic Beast underwater.

Otherwise, we probably wouldn’t have had any chance to escape.”

Xiang Sirui said, his face full of relief.

The radiant light of his treasure clothing had dimmed, and even his exposed body had several wounds.

These injuries, despite his continuous mana and Elixir treatments, were slow to heal.

Yet, he did not care.
