Chapter 398 Dao Seal
Zhou Feng hadn’t met many sword cultivators before, but he still understood some of the sword cultivators’ modus operandi.
Most sword cultivators would choose to kill their enemies with one sword strike in many situations.
They would almost never use other methods.
This was because it was the most efficient and easiest.
But Jiang Yi didn’t do so. Instead, it was as if he was slowly fishing.
He did not use his full strength to control the flying sword. This feeling was as if he was forcing Zhou Feng bit by bit. He was asking him to hand over all his trump cards and display his full strength.
The best word that could better describe this was prudence.
The current Jiang Yi gave him the feeling that he was overly cautious.
“Opportunities also mean danger! Remember! Remember!
At this moment, Jiang Yi’s mind was recalling the prophecy that the Great Elder had given him back then.
That was, when opportunities appeared, it also meant that risks would come along with them.
Now, Jiang Yi had already confirmed that Zhou Feng had a big secret.
This big secret could allow a vagabond cultivator to break through to the Divine Ability realm quickly, and at the same time, his battle prowess was outstanding.
Zhou Feng was not inferior to some veteran Divine Ability experts. Such a situation was really strange. To be able to do this, Jiang Yi suspected that there was a Dao Seal in his body.
Only a Dao Seal could allow Zhou Feng to improve so quickly.
This could also explain why he could quickly grasp the use of divine abilities after reaching the Divine Ability realm.
What was a Dao Seal?
This was actually the foundation of a sect’s inheritance.
As mentioned earlier, inheritance was an extremely important matter to all large factions.
And the inheritance of a large clan depended on the bloodline. Then, what did a sect rely on for its inheritance?
There was not only one clan in the sects but also countless talented monsters.
Some of these monsters came from humble backgrounds, while others came from noble backgrounds.
So what did these sects rely on to maintain their competitiveness and inheritance?
The Dao Seal method was created in this context.
To condense a Dao Seal, one had to reach an extremely high realm at least, and they could only condense it before death.
The Dao Seal contained all the secrets of the sect and all sorts of divine abilities.
It even contained battle experience and a trace of power.
Simply put, this Dao Seal was an unusual bloodline that contained all the things of the previous Sect Leader.
Including cultivation, the successor only needed to slowly absorb all the things within the Dao Seal to be able to obtain the cultivation of the previous Sect Leader.
The power contained in this Dao Seal was also terrifying after being passed down from generation to generation.
This was an inheritance method that was not inferior to bloodline inheritance at all.
However, the Dao Seal inheritance still had some drawbacks compared to bloodline inheritance.
That was, the Dao Seal inheritance required a certain realm. The successor had to comprehend a divine ability and completely transform their soul.
Only then could they withstand the full power of the Dao Seal. Otherwise, it would be very easy not to be able to withstand the power of the Dao Seal and become delirious.
Of course, in times of crisis, they could also abandon most of the power within the Dao Seal and only keep the core inheritance.
This way, they could allow lower realm cultivators to inherit it.
They could even turn the Dao Seal into a Dao Seed and plant it on mortals. Mortals could also completely withstand it.
As their realm slowly rose, this Dao Seed would be able to grow back into a Dao Seal.
However, if that were the case, one would only be able to harness 10% of the inheritance’s power.
Moreover, unless they cultivated to a certain realm again, this Dao Seal would not be able to be passed down.
That’s right!
Jiang Y suspected Zhou Feng had a Dao Seed planted on him.
If Zhou Feng had a Dao Seed, then his shocking performance was not worth mentioning
It wouldn’t be strange for him to break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm within a year with the Dao Seed’s help.
There was also Zhou Feng’s strange recovery ability, and he even had a soul attack.
All of these clues pointed to Zhou Feng having a Dao Seed. Otherwise, Zhou Feng wouldn’t have been able to do all these things.
‘Dao Seed… If my guess is true…’
The more Jiang Yi thought about it, the calmer his state of mind became and the less anxious he became.
If he obtained Zhou Feng’s Dao Seed, becoming the future Holy Lord Sect wouldn’t be a problem at all.
After all, a Dao Seed was something that even the Jade Sword Holy Lord didn’t have the qualifications to condense.
‘First Elder! You only calculated that my opportunity was here, but you musthave never thought that I would meet a person who seems to have a Dao Seed!’
Jiang Yi once again tested Zhou Feng’s strength. The purple Sword Qi split into two, combining with the sealing power of the surrounding formation.
This time, the attack was twice as strong as before.
The endless sealing power, as well as the unstoppable Sword Qi, made Zhou Feng somewhat breathless.
“Ha!”
Zhou Feng decided that he couldn’t just sit and wait for death.
After fighting for so long, his passive skills had been stacked.
That’s right! He hadn’t taken the initiative to attack previously for the sake of safety and stacking up all sorts of passive skills, such as Fighting Spirit and Adaptive Shell.
Zhou Feng’s strength increased exponentially with all the stacked passive skills.
The golden fist instantly tore apart the endless Sword Qi and the formation set up by the formation disk.
The Great Void Primordial Qi could corrode the void, so even the formation could not escape its corrosion effect.
The Blood Qi in Zhou Feng’s body also boiled to the extreme. The Blood Qi and the Great Void Primordial Qi complemented each other.
The Invincible avatar appeared again!
An avatar that was 90% similar to Zhou Feng appeared and collided with Jiang Yi’s sword avatar.
It was like two volcanoes erupting at the same time. One side was golden, while the other was purple.
The terrifying energy storm poured out in all directions uncontrollably while the ground quaked, becoming a complete mess.
‘He’s indeed extraordinary!’
Jiang Yi was not surprised to see Zhou Feng’s crazy counterattack. After all, Zhou Feng had a Dao Seed.
Jiang Yi had always been in the eye of the formation. He did not run around. Instead, he relied on his divine sense to control the flying sword and the formation disk.
He suppressed Zhou Feng fiercely, not giving him any chance to leave.
As long as Zhou Feng was in this formation, he would not be able to escape from his grasp no matter how hard he struggled.
This was because the surrounding power of heaven and earth had long been locked down.
Zhou Feng could not borrow the power of heaven and earth. He was completely trapped.
Therefore, Jiang Yi was not in a hurry. What if Zhou Feng did not care and directly exploded with the power of the Dao Seed? This would be a troublesome matter.
“Break!”
The Great Void Primordial Qi surrounded Zhou Feng’s body, and the golden Blood Qi emitted a golden light.
It made him look like a Godking that could battle in the void.
He punched fiercely at Jiang Yi again.
Jiang Yi did not even bat an eyelid as a huge bell floated above his head.
Then, a thick and heavy feeling spread out. It was another dao artifact that contained a large amount of earth-type laws.
Naturally, Zhou Feng was unable to break this bell.
This…’
This was the first time Zhou Feng had encountered such a situation. He could not escape, nor could he break this turtle shell.
There was also the gradually increasing suppressive force around him.
It was trying to compress him alive!
At that moment, the equipment gap was reflected vividly.
