Chapter 672 Ye Jie - The True Form of the Dao Scripture
"Is this the true power of the Taoist scriptures...? It is truly extraordinary."

Ye Jie obtained the various cultivation techniques he had collected over this period from his companions, added them one by one to his file, and integrated them into the Daoist scriptures.

As more and more techniques were incorporated into the Taoist scriptures, its true form was revealed to Ye Jie through the Book of Life and Death.

【Name of the Exercise: Daoist Scripture】

[General Principles of the Mindset: 60/100]

【Five Elements Taoist Techniques: 54/100】

[Footwork Techniques: 34/100]

[Protective Magic: 68/100]

[Transformation Method: 20/100]

Combat Skills: 260/100

After careful study, Ye Jie gradually figured out the trick.

The numerous entries presented in the Daoist scripture correspond to different categories of cultivation techniques, and the numbers displayed after them represent the number of cultivation techniques Ye Jie has currently integrated into it.

Upon careful counting, Ye Jie has learned a total of 496 cultivation techniques. With the power of the Book of Life and Death, he has modified them all to the Great Dao level and integrated them into the Dao Scripture, making them a part of the Dao Scripture.

Among them, combat techniques and fighting methods are the most numerous, totaling two hundred and sixty types.

Whether it's swordsmanship, knife skills, fist techniques, or many unorthodox martial arts, as long as they contain profound principles of killing and are designed to defeat the enemy, they will be classified as combat techniques.

After browsing through the text, Ye Jie's gaze fell on the phrase "one hundred cultivation techniques." It seemed that when the number of the same cultivation techniques fused in the Daoist scripture exceeded a certain amount, a unique change could occur.

Currently, only the number of combat techniques and fighting methods meets this prerequisite. Ye Jie immediately tried it, and as soon as he had a thought, a brand new word quickly appeared on the Book of Life and Death.

[Technique Files:]

[The required number of combat skills and techniques has been met, and 1/48 of the Daoist power has been unlocked.]

[A new trait is gained in combat skills: Natural Combat Skills.]

[Mastery of Combat Skills: Doubles the final power of all combat skills and techniques.]

[Combat Skills and Techniques: Current Stage 1. Next unlock requires 260/200.]

As the words appeared in the Book of Life and Death, Ye Jie trembled, feeling an endless surge of heat within his body, which greatly enhanced his already formidable strength.

Feeling the new power surging within his body, the unique creation that seemed to be the arrival of the Great Dao, and the vast divine power that could tear the sky apart with a wave of his hand, Ye Jie also had a premonition.

If he were to encounter Emperor Gouchen again, he could defeat him head-on in no more than three moves, without breaking a sweat. "This change... so this is the true power of the Daoist scriptures!"

As Ye Jie carefully sensed the changes in his body, he couldn't help but show a look of joy. Who would have thought that such potential was hidden in the Daoist scriptures?

However, upon closer inspection of the description in the Book of Life and Death, it seems that this is not the full power of the Dao Scripture, but only one forty-eighth. Even so, it can greatly enhance Ye Jie's strength. If the power of the Dao Scripture is fully unsealed, who in the world can be his opponent? Even a peak ninth-level immortal would not be a match for him!
"Come again!"

Noticing that the next unsealing of combat techniques would require learning two hundred different techniques, and that the required number had already been met, Ye Jie made a decisive decision to continue unsealing.

Soon, the words appeared again in the Book of Life and Death:
[The required number of combat skills and techniques has been met, and 2/48 of the Daoist power has been unlocked.]

[A new feature has been added to combat skills: Combat Skill Superiority.]

[Combat Skill Dominance: Prevents enemies with fewer combat skill/magic abilities than you from using combat skills/magic abilities.]

[Combat Skills and Techniques: Current Stage 2. Next unlock requires 260/300.]

"This... the Daoist scripture can actually directly seal off the cultivation techniques of other immortals?"

After carefully reading the words in the Book of Life and Death, Ye Jie couldn't help but gasp.

According to Taoist scriptures, as long as one's combat skills and techniques exceed those of the enemy, one can directly prevent the enemy from using their combat skills and techniques.

In other words, anyone whose combat skills and techniques are inferior to Ye Jie's, whether it's swordsmanship, saber techniques, or other techniques that contain killing power, is unable to use them and cannot harm Ye Jie in the slightest!
"Interesting... This is the power that the Great Dao should possess. If I could unlock the characteristics of other types of cultivation techniques as well, wouldn't I be able to render my enemies unable to use any techniques in front of me?"

Thinking of this, Ye Jie also showed a hint of anticipation. Cultivation techniques are the most powerful weapons of immortals. Once they cannot use cultivation techniques, no matter how strong their cultivation level is, they will have no way to use their strength and can only use pure immortal energy to suppress others. Once they face an enemy of the same level, they will be utterly defeated.

Seeing the changes in Ye Jie, Shen Qingge felt a pang of concern: "Ah Jie, are you alright? There seems to be a unique aura brewing within you. I've only ever sensed that kind of aura in the first ten generations of the sect's founders..."

Ye Jie smiled faintly: "I've never had such a good time. So this is the true meaning of the Dao Scripture! As long as we keep collecting cultivation techniques, we can complete the incomplete power of the Dao Scripture and unlock its true power. It truly deserves to be called the ultimate cultivation technique formed by the fusion of multiple top-level cultivation techniques."

Standing to the side, Su Miao asked in confusion, "How come I've never heard of such a thing before? Just by mixing together various cultivation techniques, you can create a supreme Dao Scripture? Not only me, but I'm afraid even none of the immortals in the Heavenly Court know about this. How is this possible?"

Shen Qingge pondered for a moment and made a conjecture: "Perhaps it is because of the level of the cultivation technique. Before this, no one has ever been able to possess so many Great Dao cultivation techniques like A Jie. Even if an ordinary immortal exhausts his three lifetimes, it is difficult to deduce and cultivate a single cultivation technique to the level of the Great Dao, let alone possess dozens of Great Dao cultivation techniques. This is probably the first case in history."

In the distance, Li Feie, who had rushed back with materials about the elephant demon, also heard the discussion and couldn't help but care. She excitedly exclaimed:

"So, this is the first time something like this has ever happened in the world? Aren't we witnessing history?"

Shen Qingge rubbed her forehead: "We mistakenly returned to five hundred years ago. This kind of thing is unique. Even if something strange happens, there's nothing to be surprised about."

Ye Jie listened to everyone's words and couldn't help but laugh: "Now I understand why the legendary Underworld Emperor possessed such power that resounded throughout the Three Realms and made all the immortals fear him. Speaking of which, I should thank the Moon Goddess. If it weren't for this incident that sent us back to this era, I'm afraid all these benefits would have gone to the Yama Emperor, and we wouldn't have gotten a share."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and then he continued:
"You've all worked so hard collecting cultivation manuals during this time. However, this number of manuals is far from enough. To unleash the full power of the Daoist scriptures, I need to learn even more manuals."
