Chapter 638 Ye Jie - Daoist Scripture
As Ye Jie carefully recalled the great cultivation techniques he had practiced throughout his life, various unique insights also emerged from the depths of his heart.

Although the effects of each cultivation method are different, at least one thing is common: no matter what effect a cultivation method has, in essence, it is still a kind of control over the Dao, which is then activated by the power of immortal energy.

In other words, no matter how complex or simple a cultivation technique is, or what its grade is, all cultivation techniques are interconnected at least in one respect, even the most exquisite immortal techniques are no exception.

This discovery brought Ye Jie a profound understanding. With his exceptional comprehension, this understanding greatly benefited him. From this sudden enlightenment, he seemed to see the whole picture of the Great Dao and the key to taking his cultivation technique to the next level!

Ye Jie took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually became firm. An unknown change was quietly taking place within his body.

If Ye Jie were to open the Book of Life and Death at this moment and check his own file, he would be surprised to find that the rows of Great Dao level cultivation techniques that were once recorded in the cultivation technique file are now disappearing rapidly, their names being completely erased from the cultivation technique file as if they had never existed.

The disappearance of the cultivation technique should, in theory, have dealt a severe blow to Ye Jie's strength. His cultivation level is limited, and if he wants to contend with powerful enemies at a higher level, he can only rely on the power of the Great Dao cultivation technique. However, those past reliances are now disappearing rapidly, which is undoubtedly like cutting off his own arms. But the result is exactly the opposite. Ye Jie's strength has not declined as a result, but is instead constantly rising.

An aura far more powerful than before began to emerge within his body, growing stronger and stronger. Even Ashoka, who had remained calm throughout, changed his expression completely after carefully sensing the aura emanating from Ye Jie's body.

"That aura... He actually possesses such power? How is that possible?"

Just as King Ashoka was filled with doubt and surprise, the changes that had occurred in Ye Jie were gradually coming to an end.

The moment Ye Jie opened his eyes, a dazzling light burst forth from them, as if it could completely illuminate the darkness. He clenched his fist, feeling the supreme and unique power within his body, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Taking out the Book of Life and Death and looking at the records on it, Ye Jie roughly understood what had happened to him.

[The practice learned: Taoist scriptures (the Great Way)]

Upon closer inspection, the words "Taoist Scripture" stand out prominently in the section on learned techniques. Apart from that, there is nothing else. The long list of techniques, whether simple or complex, has vanished without a trace. All that remains is this one technique that directly points to the origin of the Great Tao.

Calm down and think carefully, Ye Jie can better understand the profound meaning behind it. As the saying goes, the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All the cultivation methods in the world can be said to have been born from the most primordial Tao. No matter how unique the cultivation method or how powerful the power, this is no exception. Without the original Tao, no cultivation method can even exist.

This realization gave Ye Jie hope for a breakthrough. To this end, he spared no expense, willingly refining all the Dao-level techniques on his body. With this almost self-destructive decision, he only wanted to reveal the most fundamental Dao.

Ye Jie's move was extremely risky. If he failed, the situation would not be as he expected. If he failed to deduce the origin of the Dao, he would not only lose all the skills he had learned, but he would also lose everything. He would lose all his power, and it would be unknown when he could regain his current strength.

Fortunately, the final result did not disappoint Ye Jie. By fusing all the Great Dao techniques in his body, Ye Jie successfully deduced the Origin Dao. The manifestation of the Origin Dao was the Dao Scripture revealed in the section on the techniques Ye Jie had learned!
In the past, there were indeed Nine-Turn Immortals who realized this and planned to use their cultivation to push back the most fundamental Great Dao. However, they all failed, and their final fate was quite tragic. Losing their cultivation techniques was no different from cutting off their own arms. Even if their cultivation level remained unchanged, it would probably take hundreds of years to recover their former strength, which was a great loss.

None of those Nine-Turn Immortals had a lower understanding of the Dao than Ye Jie, and some were even many levels higher than him. However, without exception, they all failed. The reason for this was that they did not possess enough cultivation techniques that directly pointed to the origin of the Great Dao, that is, those techniques that reached the level of the Great Dao.

Previously, Ye Jie had seen Jiu Tian Ying Yuan's file. He did have many powerful techniques, but only the most commonly used ones had truly reached the Great Dao level.

Even Jiutian Yingyuan was like this, so even if the other Nine Revolutions Immortals were in a slightly better situation, they wouldn't be much better off. They would never do something so suicidal. Without sufficient Great Dao techniques, doing so would inevitably lead to failure.

Yet Ye Jie managed to do just that. The complete Book of Life and Death granted him the authority to modify records. Any cultivation technique, once in his hands, could instantly propel him to the true level of the Great Dao. In this respect, Ye Jie's advantage was unmatched by any immortal. Even though not many years had passed since Ye Jie became an immortal, his accumulated knowledge, especially in terms of cultivation techniques, far surpassed that of any immortal in the world!

With this unique advantage, Ye Jie naturally fused his Dao-level techniques and finally deduced the Dao Scripture that recorded the primordial Dao, resulting in a complete transformation of his strength.

With the blessing of the Taoist scriptures, Ye Jie felt that the world before him had become different. Ashoka, whom he had once called invincible, now seemed to be nothing special in his eyes. With the blessing of the Taoist scriptures, Ashoka was by no means invincible!
Feeling the unique power within his body, Ye Jie couldn't help but feel a bit emotional. If he didn't have enough comprehension, no matter how many Dao-level techniques he mastered, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such a result. It can be said that comprehension is the most crucial factor in obtaining Dao scriptures. Without enough comprehension, one can never comprehend the true Dao.

Thinking of this, Ye Jie couldn't help but sigh. When he was in Beiju Luzhou, he had spent a lot of effort to collect all the ingredients for making Three Snake Soup. Among them was the flesh and blood of the Demon God Xiang Liu. It was with the help of those precious materials that he was able to permanently improve his comprehension.
