Chapter 196: Unsealing the Dao Platform | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on April 9, 2025
This trip to South Remote City can be described as a complete success.
Ten thousand-yuan stones are not only hard currency in the extraordinary world, but can also be used as cultivation resources and supplies for sustained combat.
Moreover, the two Grade A Low-Rank Dao techniques that Jiang Wuyong lost to him included a fire-element attack Dao technique called Blazing Chirp and a fire-element escape technique called Flame Meteor.
Although cultivating the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique has given him a deeper control over the four elements of wood, metal, water, and fire, this technique focuses more on body refinement. In terms of elemental control, it didn’t reach the level of Wang Changxiang’s innate Wind Sparrow True Spirit, which was not enough for him to master Dao techniques across ranks.
These two Dao techniques can only be formally practiced after reaching the Soaring Dragon Realm.
Following the usual practice, Jiang Wang entered the illusory realm of the Supreme Void and used the Dao Evolution Platform to deduce these two Dao techniques.
It’s not that his first-level Dao Evolution Platform is sufficient to optimize such high-quality Grade A Dao techniques. He had tried it before with Binding Tiger, Flame Flower, and Thorn Crown, and the first-level Dao Evolution Platform had no room for optimization for such high-quality Dao techniques.
His main purpose was to use the Dao Evolution Platform of the illusory realm of the Supreme Void to confirm whether these two Dao techniques had been tampered with.
On the way to Qi, Jiang Wang experienced the blessed land challenge on the fifteenth day of the second month, falling from the blessed land of Tao Mountain to the blessed land of Yellow Well.
This time, he missed the blessed land challenge on the fifteenth day of the third month due to sword forging in the Sword Furnace. He fell from Yellow Well to Mount Rotten Ke, which ranked thirtieth among the blessed lands. The monthly merit production was only 1,150 points.
Because he hasn’t matched many battles during this period, the merits have been accumulated. There are a total of 5,500 points.
He placed the jade slip materialized into the illusory realm of the Supreme Void onto the Dao Evolution Platform and chose to deduce it.
After deducting two hundred points of merit, the deduction ended.
As expected, there were some problems!
Jiang Wang picked up the jade slip and looked at it. Only two very inconspicuous hand seals were corrected, which could not be seen before. After correcting them and verifying them, he immediately understood the problem.
If he directly cultivated according to the Dao techniques given by Jiang Wuyong, there might be problems in some battles.
It was because he knew that Jiang Wang had the illusory realm of the Supreme Void that Chong Xuansheng suggested that he choose Dao techniques when selecting bets.
When he tried to improve the three Dao techniques that Chong Xuansheng had helped him find before, although the deduction was fruitless, a prompt appeared in the Supreme Void illusory realm at that time—whether to submit the Dao technique to the Dao Evolution Platform to obtain corresponding contribution points.
At that time, although Jiang Wang was also very curious about the subsequent changes of the Dao Evolution Platform, he did not choose to submit it because he did not own the three Dao techniques.
These two Dao techniques won from Jiang Wuyong do not need to be hidden. Although it is now known that the Supreme Void illusory realm is not unique and others may obtain the Dao techniques he submitted through merit consumption and deduction, these two Dao techniques are not unique to him anyway. Jiang Wuyong must also have a copy.
Submit Grade A Low-Rank Dao technique Blazing Chirp, submit Grade A Low-Rank Dao technique Flame Meteor.
The prompts from the Supreme Void illusory realm came one after another.
The second level of the Dao Evolution Platform is unlocked.
Contribution point data is open.
The consumption of promoting the Dao Evolution Platform is named “Merit”; the need for upgrading the Dao Evolution Platform is named “Law”. The gains from the victory or defeat of the Sword Debate Platform are called “Merit”, and the gains from submitting and deducing Dao techniques on the Dao Evolution Platform are called “Law”.
Jiang Wang turned to look at the sundial phantom, and saw the words gradually appearing on it.
Blessed Land 30, Lord of Mount Rotten Ke. Dugu Wudi.
Sword Debate Platform: Seventh Grade (Reaching the Heavens Realm).
Required for promotion: Soaring Dragon Realm.
Merit: Five thousand three hundred points.
Dao Evolution Platform: Second Level.
Law: Four hundred points.
Required for promotion: Ten thousand Law. (The Dao Evolution Platform of the Lord of Mount Rotten Ke is in a sealed state, and one thousand Law can unlock it, but it has not been unlocked.)
It has been a long time since he obtained the Supreme Void illusory realm, but today, with the “assistance” of Jiang Wuyong, he was able to unlock the second level of the Dao Evolution Platform.
Merit is the merit of cultivation, and Law is the Law of protecting the Dao.
The appearance of the Dao Evolution Platform after the upgrade has not changed much. It is still the green bamboo table and the jade book.
It’s just that the green bamboo is greener and the white jade is brighter.
Under Jiang Wang’s gaze, the jade book slowly opened.
“Sword Technique Purple Qi Comes From the East Sword Canon, Military Family Cultivation Method Four Spirits Body Refining Technique, Tracking Dao Technique Remembrance, Dao Technique Flame Flower, Dao Technique Flame Meteor, Dao Technique Blazing Chirp…”
The Dao techniques and cultivation methods that have been deduced and the Dao techniques that he actively submitted slowly turned over, and the jade book had a second page.
Among them, such as Purple Qi Comes From the East Sword Canon, Four Spirits Body Refining Technique, Remembrance, etc., all consume merit in the Dao Evolution Platform to strengthen, although they are also recorded by the Dao Evolution Platform itself after the deduction, the contribution obtained is naturally not much.
This Supreme Void illusory realm does not have any detailed explanation. Jiang Wang had communicated with Chong Xuansheng before, but Chong Xuansheng also had a superficial understanding of the Supreme Void illusory realm. Unlike Jiang Wang, who “inherited” from Zuo Guanglie, Chong Xuansheng was chosen by the Supreme Void illusory realm.
The only thing Chong Xuansheng was sure of was that the Supreme Void illusory realm was not a product of conspiracy and would definitely be beneficial and harmless.
The reason is simple: the Supreme Void illusory realm, with such a wide range of radiation, cannot be concealed by any existence and cannot be hidden from all the strong people of the nations and sects of the world.
In other words, although the existence of the Supreme Void illusory realm has not been made public, it must be acquiesced by all the nations and sects of the world.
From this, it can be inferred that the core principle of the Supreme Void illusory realm must follow fairness and neutrality.
But at the same time, because the Supreme Void illusory realm is so secret, everything about the Supreme Void illusory realm can only be explored by oneself.
At most, it is like Jiang Wang and Chong Xuansheng, who know each other’s identities in the Supreme Void illusory realm and communicate in private.
Considering that the prompt to submit Dao techniques only appeared when he deduced Binding Tiger at that time, it shows that the Dao Evolution Platform has very high requirements for the Dao techniques and cultivation methods themselves.
In order to verify his ideas, Jiang Wang successively submitted some basic Dao techniques learned in the City Dao Institute to the Dao Evolution Platform, such as Flame Blade, Wind Blade, and Golden Light Arrow.
The Law displayed by the Dao Evolution Platform did not change at all.
Jiang Wang then submitted the grafting Dao technique he created independently, Vine Snake Entangling Wall Grafting Flesh-Eating Flower.
The Dao Evolution Platform increased by three points of Law. It is also a very common Dao technique, but because there are changes, there are gains. Although this gain is better than nothing.
“So, the Dao techniques submitted to the Dao Evolution Platform not only receive different contributions due to different powers, but also the degree of rarity has a great impact.”
Jiang Wang fell into thought.
The Dao Evolution Platform can be upgraded through contributions, which is obviously to encourage more cultivators to contribute their unique secret techniques.
In fact, he had speculated during the battle with Jiang Wuyong. Because the Purple Qi Comes From the East Sword Canon and Jiang Wuyong’s swordsmanship have the same origin, someone must have contributed the Qi Imperial Family’s swordsmanship to the Supreme Void illusory realm.
I just don’t know if there will be the Supreme Purple Micro Heavenly Canon in the Supreme Void illusory realm?
It seems impossible.
Take Jiang Wang himself as an example. He did not submit the three unique sword techniques he created to the Dao Evolution Platform for deduction.
The Supreme Void illusory realm Dao Evolution Platform may be able to deduce a sword technique to “perfection” through the vast array of sword techniques, but that may not be the best sword for Jiang Wang.
Everyone has their own path, and they must have their own sword.
Whether it is the sword of the sun, moon, and stars or the sword of mountains and rivers, it is based on the fusion and refining of Jiang Wang’s own essence, qi, and spirit. He only needs to continue walking.
He has never thought about submitting these three sword techniques to the Dao Evolution Platform in exchange for contributions to unlock the Dao Evolution Platform as soon as possible.
Perhaps he will consider such a thing when he no longer needs these three sword techniques.
Because this is something that truly belongs to him, and it is his strongest means at present.
Thanks to the legacy of Zuo Guanglie, Jiang Wang is now much easier to upgrade the Dao Evolution Platform, requiring only one-tenth of the Law to unlock it. And Jiang Wang has only unlocked the second level so far.
It is hard to imagine how many resources Zuo Guanglie invested in the Supreme Void illusory realm back then. He stacked the Dao Evolution Platform to the nineteenth level! What a huge astronomical number that is.
But when he thought of Zuo Guanglie’s famous and unique Dao techniques, Flame Flower Burning the City, Prairie Fire, Yang Explosion… everything seemed reasonable again.
Such a person, such a prodigy…
He burned through the long sky like a shooting star in broad daylight, and the light he left behind still shines on Jiang Wang.
Ps: Merit is the merit of cultivation, and Law is the Law of protecting the Dao. In fact, the calculation of points using traditional Chinese numerals 壹貳叄肆伍 is the most consistent with the ancient rhyme and the atmosphere of the story. But the author was worried that some readers would not recognize traditional Chinese numerals… Considering the reading threshold, they were all changed to numerals later. However, some readers said that 12345 is too discordant.
So, as a compromise, in the future, we will uniformly calculate with simplified Chinese numerals one, two, three, four, and five.
