Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"How is it?" Alkaid made his suggestion. Then he looked at the Penglai Dao Lord, awaiting her response. For anyone in the Shattered Void, Integrate Dao was akin to seeking survival in the face of death. Especially the Void Path, which not only risked Dao Transformation during integration but also faced unprecedented and dangerous human calamities. Of course, he could consider integrating with the Time Great Dao. But… With Time Dao Techniques being so rare, what if there were no more such techniques in the future to deepen his understanding of the Time Great Dao? At that time, he surely couldn't afford to risk it all to evade human calamities by gambling on the highly improbable Time Great Dao. In a situation where even he himself had no absolute confidence in ascending to Integrate Dao, choosing the path with the highest success rate was clearly the most appropriate. Among all the Great Daos, the Great Void Path walked by countless people was definitely the most valuable for reference. Consequently, he would have to consider the issue of human calamities. Just then, with a figure like the Penglai Dao Lord protecting his path and blocking human calamities from him, his promotion would truly be almost certain. The Penglai Dao Lord looked at him, the corners of her eyes curving up in a smile, "What you have said, all hinges on your successful Integrate Dao. But what if you fail? Then there'll be no Immortal Artifact, no Immortal Array, nothing at all." "So, it all depends on whether the Dao Lord has such courage." Alkaid responded with a smile, "Before I attempt to Integrate Dao, I won't need any support from the Dao Lord. With my own means, I will be able to seize the position of the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect. Using that status, I will gather resources and cultivate Dao Techniques to bolster my foundation for the Integrate Dao attempt. If I fail, then let's not mention it, but if I succeed in Integrating Dao, all the problems and worries you have will be solved, and you will gain an ally at the Dao Lord Level." "Alkaid, you have a way with words." The Penglai Dao Lord remarked. "I am merely presenting the possibilities that may come to pass before the Dao Lord." Alkaid said. The Penglai Dao Lord did not reply again, instead turning her gaze to the sword embryo of the Limitless Sword. The next moment, she suddenly made her move, reaching out with an empty hand towards the not yet fully refined Dao Artifact. In an instant, Alkaid felt as if he saw the phantoms of the entire world emerging before his eyes. An unprecedented Dao charm spread from her fingertips, its intensity so great that a mere trace seemed equal to refining a Void Dao Elixir. If channeled into a Spiritual Treasure, it would instantly become qualified to transform into a Dao Artifact. Within the visibly rippling Dao charm that spread out like waves, a force of the Great Void Path was drawn, pouring into the Limitless Sword. "Hum hum!" In an instant, the Dao charm of the Limitless Sword in its initial state surged, climbing to the level of a Dao Artifact and then continuing to evolve towards a Superior Dao Artifact. "This is..." Alkaid suddenly widened his eyes. This Artifact Refining technique... Creating a miracle with sheer force! Directly invoking the manifestation of the Great Dao, channeling an immense amount of Dao charm to forcibly convert the Limitless Sword from a sword embryo into a Dao Artifact! "Is this really a Superior Dao Artifact? Moreover, it seems it might further evolve from a Superior Dao Artifact into a top-tier Dao Artifact in the future?" The Penglai Dao Lord, noticing the changes in the Limitless Sword, looked at the Dao Artifact in surprise for a while. "No need for the future!" Alkaid quickly stepped forward, urgently guiding the surging Dao charm on the Limitless Sword to resonate with the Great Void Path on a higher level. In just a moment, the Dao Artifact had completed its transformation from an ordinary Dao Artifact to a Superior Dao Artifact, and continued evolving towards a top-tier Dao Artifact. "You mean, you can refine this Dao Artifact into a top-tier one right now?" "Yes." Alkaid nodded, "As long as there's enough Dao charm!" "Dao charm, huh." The Penglai Dao Lord, witnessing this scene, once again pointed with an empty hand. The Void Path trembled, continuously drawn by the Origin Dao. As the two Daos collided, countless Dao charms once again spread unceasingly, filling the entirety of Hundred Refinement Peak. "Like this?" "Yes! Just like that!" Alkaid waved an empty hand, and countless Dao Artifact materials he had prepared surged forth. Using the Spirit Nurturing Art, he collected the dispersing Dao charm and then merged it into the Limitless Sword before his eyes. As various Dao Artifact materials mingled with the rich Dao charm and fused with the Limitless Sword, it continuously transformed, the power of the Great Dao it radiated growing stronger and more vigorous. "You're misusing your Dao charm, wasting ninety-nine percent of it! Let me guide the infusion of your Dao charm!" As he spoke, Alkaid instantly activated his "Divine King" talent, causing his Divine Sense and that of the Penglai Dao Lord to resonate. "This ability of yours... is indeed quite clever." The Penglai Dao Lord looked at the rapidly evolving Limitless Sword, not stopping Alkaid's Divine Sense from leading. She didn't know how to refine artifacts. She invested all her time and effort in cultivation. Forget Artifact Refining, even Alchemy and Formation were purely novice-level for her. The Dao Artifacts given to the juniors by the Penglai Immortal Sect were all powered by her Dao charm. Provide a bit more Dao charm, and any Spiritual Treasure, Magical Treasure, would transform into a Dao Artifact in no time. For someone like Alkaid, using Artifact Refining techniques was a first, and it made her curious. How did the Artifact Sage refine artifacts? In this collaborative state, the Limitless Sword grew rapidly. One day, three days, ten days, half a month... Only a month. As the Dao charm emitted by the Limitless Sword reached a never-before-seen peak, all the Dao charm suddenly solidified from the ethereal state, and a path that seemed like the real Great Void Path, condensed by countless Dao charms, plunged into the Limitless Sword. At this moment, the Limitless Sword was no longer just the Limitless Sword, but had become an external manifestation of the Great Void Path. The sword body, merely a vessel for this Great Dao. "Top-tier Dao Artifact." Penglai Dao Lord uttered a voice tinged with a hint of astonishment. One month! Merely one month's time. She had personally witnessed this Dao Artifact materialize from nothingness, ascend from an ordinary Dao Artifact to a Superior Dao Artifact, and ultimately leap into the rank of top-tier Dao Artifact. Throughout the process, aside from binding the power of the Great Void Path to maintain its manifested state and continually infusing the Limitless Sword with Dao Rhythms, she did nothing else. The artifact refining process was solely managed by Alkaid. In such a state, he had actually managed by his own power, with the body of the Shattered Void, to forge a top-tier Dao Artifact that many Dao Lords couldn't even equip. This was truly… Incredible. "It's done." Alkaid said joyfully. The Limitless Sword! This top-tier Dao Artifact, with his own capabilities alone, would have taken him decades to completely refine to the top-tier standard. Yet with the help of Penglai Dao Lord, one month! In just one month, the sword, which was originally just a sword embryo, completed a three-tier leap and transformed into a top-tier Dao Artifact! This was an unexpected joy for him. "Being able to forge a top-tier Dao Artifact at the Shattered Void stage, you say once you achieve Dao Lord you could make Semi-Immortal Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts, I believe it!" At this moment, the fluctuations of Penglai Dao Lord's Divine Sense resounded. Only then did Alkaid notice that they were still in a state of "resonance." He smiled and said, "Thank you, Dao Lord, for lending a hand. Without your help, who knows how long it would have taken to fully refine this Dao Artifact." "It is you who have laid a sufficiently excellent foundation, I merely sped up the process a bit," replied Penglai Dao Lord, eyeing the sword in Alkaid's hand with a tinge of envy. Noticing this, an idea struck Alkaid, "Dao Lord, you must have considered creating a top-tier Dao Artifact suitable for yourself, right?" "Hmm, but I've been a Dao Lord for a short time and I don't know artifact refining. Until now, I have been using a set of ordinary Dao Artifacts," responded Penglai Dao Lord. A Dao Lord using Dao Artifacts… Is like a Hollow Void cultivator using ordinary Spiritual Treasures. It's completely superfluous. Even Superior Dao Artifacts are considered mediocre for a Dao Lord. Only top-tier Dao Artifacts can improve a Dao Lord's strength by ten to twenty percent. While it may seem like a minor improvement, for beings who have reached the limits accessible to all cultivators in the universe—Dao Lords—even a slight increase in strength can give them an edge in a struggle against peers of the same realm, let alone ten to twenty percent. "Do you have the corresponding materials? If you do, and if you trust me, I can help you try to refine a top-tier Dao Artifact. Of course, it might take some time, and you'll have to assist with the subsequent work," Alkaid offered. "You?" Penglai Dao Lord glanced at Alkaid, "I practice the Origin Dao." Alkaid smiled and made a beckoning gesture with an empty hand, as the rhythm of the Supreme Human Emperor began to circulate. "You have mastered this Dao Technique?" Penglai Dao Lord was somewhat surprised. The next second, the look of surprise on the Dao Lord's face turned into shock, "No! It's not just mastery... Such an accomplishment... Have you achieved Great Success with the Supreme Human Emperor!?" "Hmm." Alkaid nodded, "With the comprehension of a Great Success Level Dao Technique, refining a top-tier Dao Artifact is possible, it just requires more time and energy. Of course, if in the future I gain a deeper understanding of this Dao Technique and reach Perfection, the efficiency of refining this Dao Artifact will undoubtedly be quicker." "Great Success…" Penglai Dao Lord didn't reply, but instead stared at Alkaid, somewhat dazed, "Since I gave you the Supreme Human Emperor, it hasn't been forty years yet... You took forty years to cultivate this non-Void Category Dao Technique to Great Success?" "I have an exceptional talent for practicing Dao Techniques, which is why I could reach the Shattered Void stage so quickly," Alkaid said. He estimated... That his pace of Dao Technique cultivation might have even surpassed Penglai Dao Lord's, or else the Dao Lord wouldn't have been caught off guard for the first time. "So fast…" Penglai Dao Lord simply said. Then, she suddenly laughed, "Now I can slightly empathize with how other cultivators from my generation feel when they see me master one Dao Technique after another." Alkaid also smiled, "So, Dao Lord, would you like to give it a try?" "Yes!" Penglai Dao Lord immediately took out a Storage Treasure, "Here are the materials I've collected; I give them all to you. Have a look, is there anything missing? If anything's lacking, I'll find it." Alkaid swept it with his Divine Sense, intending to take an inventory. But in the next second, his thoughts ground to a halt, overwhelmed by the dense Dao Rhythms inside that felt like a direct confrontation with the Origin Dao. "This…" Alkaid inhaled sharply. The value of the materials in this Storage Treasure, if converted to Pure Yang Great Pills... Would be no less than a hundred billion!
