Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

================¶¶================

Within the palace in the painting, Arthur sat in a meditative position to cultivate.

He knew that from the vision that he saw he needed to speed up his plans.

Also, he had to quickly settle the matters of his faction in the sect and make his position here stable before leaving for his pre-planned cultivation journey.

In all these things the most important thing to do would be to increase his strength.

"Nine Heavens Universal Scripture..."

As Arthur meditated, information about his cultivation technique filled his mind as he comprehended it.

"The Nine Heavens Universal Scripture is divided into nine levels. It is unlike most cultivation scriptures where the levels of the technique correspond with a person's cultivation level."

"Right now I am yet to enter even the 1st level of the technique and I only just finished laying the foundation for the next stage," Arthur muttered to himself as he reviewed the cultivation technique.

As he did so, what steps he had to take next became clear to him.

Now that he had created his elemental cores and their corresponding origin veins, it was time to condense the Chaos Origin Essence.

In doing so, he would break through to the next cultivation rank.

The Grand Martial Realm.

In the Heavenly Sword Sect, whoever became a Grand Martial Realm cultivator has met the requirements to become a Core Disciple of the sect.

Once a practitioner steps into this realm, his essence core will revert to its liquid state and an essence energy pool will be formed.

Along the formation of the essence energy pool, there will be a passive circulation of essence energy through the origin veins at all times.

This will enable the practitioners to perform feats that lower-ranked cultivators can not accomplish.

Crushing a ten thousand-pound rock to dust with a single attack is what the weakest Grand Martial Realm cultivator can do.

It is at this point that cultivators get a big boost in their life span, with the ability to live for five hundred years.

Due to the essence energy circulation, it is almost impossible for cultivators to fall sick as the energy circulation keeps them at their peak all the time.

Their needs for food and drink become very little as they could go months without it.

Once, Arthur creates the Chaos Origin Essence, he will step into the next level.

At the same time, something greater will take place.

'My Chaos Dragon Bloodline will be awakened!'

This was what gave Arthur the most excitement.

'Alright, time to start.'

Arthur calmed down and freed his mind of all thoughts and entered into a state of deep meditation.

At the same time, strange chants exited his lips as his hands moved and formed different hand signs one at a time.

When he did that, the ten cores in his dantian began to revolve and slowly got transformed into liquid.

It took a long time but eventually, there were now ten small pools of elemental essence energy in Arthur's dantian.

Next, those ten small pools began to rotate in a clockwise manner and the essence energy it contained began to flow through the origin veins.

At this time, Arthur officially broke through into the next realm.

Rank 1 Grand Martial Realm!

His essence energy began to passively circulate throughout his body by following the pathways of the origin veins.

Arthur released his martial spirit and began to ravenously devour an insane amount of essence energy which got refined and absorbed into his dantian.

When this happened the essence energy within him all flowed in one direction, his right chest.

All ten essence energies, fire, water, earth, wind, wood, lightning, light, darkness, life, and death, all gathered at that point.

And then they began to revolve chaotically.

When a sufficient amount was gathered, Arthur felt it was time.

'Chaos Origin Essence, condense!'

Arthur commanded and all elemental energies began to fuse and when they did, something miraculous happened.

*Ba-dum!*

They condensed and formed the shape of a multicolored heart!

*Ba-dum!*

The newly created heart began to beat slowly at first, but it slowly gained momentum and its speed became unbelievably fast.

Then, all the origin veins in Arthur's body became rewired and they were now connected to the crazily beating heart.

It was then Arthur heard it.

*Crack!*

Something cracked from deep within him, and then what followed was the sound of chains being broken.

And when it did, the spiritual chains that were binding his Chaos Dragon Bloodline got released.

*Ba-dum!*

Arthur's newly created beating heart slowed down considerably but the sound of its beating became louder

If one was to describe it, it was akin to the beating heart of an ancient life form.

*Ba-dum!*

This time, it wasn't just Arthur that heard it, but Cora who was in another room also heard the sound of the beating heart.

Cora was startled and rushed out of her room. She arrived before the room where Arthur was and stood in silence.

*Ba-dum!*

She heard it again and this time her heart and mind froze at the sound.

Her mind became a bit warped and for a moment she felt that she was standing before the den of a mighty beast.

A mighty ancient beast, so powerful that it could devour her if she dared to make a sound.

*Ba-dum!*

The heart became louder once more and this time it echoed throughout the world within the Serene Palace Painting.

"Grh!" Arthur groaned within the room as his bloodline was awakened.

He felt an indescribable pain as his body began to undergo reconstruction. His bones were destroyed and reformed again and again.

His blood was disintegrated many times as new blood was formed, only to face the same fate.

His skin cracked and fell off to reveal the muscles beneath them as Arthur roared in pain.

'What the hell?! This wasn't in the description!' Arthur cursed in his mind as he could only scream in pain.

He was prepared for such an event at all.

Time passed, and Arthur had no idea how long he had endured the pain of having his body destroyed and reconstructed multiple times.

But the pain finally came to a stop.
