However, this dream illusion technique has reached the pinnacle of control over the illusion's time. One instant outside equates to ten or a hundred years inside.

Yuan Ming nodded to himself; this All Living Beings Dream Rune is extraordinary and, if used properly, can have miraculous effects.

Yuan Ming focused his thoughts and took out the Stealing Heaven Tripod, calling out with his Divine Thought: "Senior Kong, are you there?"

There was no fluctuation from the Stealing Heaven Tripod, nor did anyone respond.

Having called several times with no feedback, Yuan Ming had no choice but to give up.

With no other option, Yuan Ming could only ask Qi Ye: "Fellow Daoist Qi Ye, do you know what the rune in the Dantian is?"

"The rune in the Dantian? I've never heard of it. How did it come about?" Qi Ye quickly responded.

Apparently, he was also very interested in this.

Yuan Ming thought for a moment and then briefly explained to Qi Ye how Yun Luo Fairy, upon breaking through to the Dharma manifestation Stage, condensed three types of Divine Skills into runes and integrated them into the Nascent Soul.

After hearing this, Qi Ye could only shake his head and sigh: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, in my previous life, I was only a cultivator in the Returning Void Realm, unable to witness the splendor of the Dharma manifestation Stage. What you describe likely can only be understood by Dharma Phase Cultivators."

Yuan Ming was somewhat disappointed after hearing this but not surprised.

Then he tried to comprehend the other two runes of Yun Luo Fairy but, not being adept in Divine Movement and Sealing, achieved little. Moreover, he was preoccupied with the matter of the Dantian rune, so he soon gave up.

Seeing that Yun Luo Fairy wouldn't emerge anytime soon, Yuan Ming took out a stick of Black Incense, ignited it, and possessed Guoguo.

Xi Ying was in a meeting with several people dressed in Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce deacon robes when Guoguo rushed in and jumped onto her lap, meeting her eyes with a glance.

Xi Ying's gaze flickered, and amidst the deacons' puzzled looks, she ended the meeting.

After everyone left, Xi Ying waved her hand, activating the Forbidden Array within and outside the room, then placed Guoguo on the table in front of her.

They shared their recent situations with each other. Xi Ying was still in Xuejing Country and had refined several precious elixirs from the Pill King Secret Manual, selling them under a new identity.

By relying on these elixirs, the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce rapidly expanded its business in Xuejing Country.

Xi Ying was credited with offering the Dan Recipe, now overseeing all business in Xuejing Country, thus remaining there.

Yuan Ming also recounted his situation, particularly focusing on the two Divine Skill runes.

After listening, Xi Ying looked surprised.

"The All Living Beings Dream Rune and Dream Butterfly Rune have entered the Dantian... Such a situation shouldn't occur for you, especially since you haven't reached the Dharma manifestation Stage..." Xi Ying said, puzzled. The c#an^on+ica%l sou#r#c-e# for this cont@e#n+t:^ M&|V|L2&EM*PY@R@.@

"Do you know what these runes are?" Yuan Ming asked with some delight.

"Yes, the true name for such runes is 'Dao Seal'. Typically, a high-level Divine Skill or magic, whether self-awakened or learned through practice, can communicate with the power of Dao if cultivated to the Perfect Realm. Once infused with the aura of the Dao, it can condense into a Dao Seal." Xi Ying nodded and explained.

Yuan Ming recalled that his Dream Butterfly Rune indeed formed after comprehending Yun Luo Fairy's Illusion Technique Divine Rune and achieving the Perfect Realm.

"Moreover, when a cultivator undergoes a major breakthrough and communicates with the power of the Dao, there's a certain chance to condense a Dao Seal." Xi Ying continued.

"What constitutes a major breakthrough?" Yuan Ming quickly asked.

"Such as a Magic Practitioner breaking through the Dharma manifestation Stage, a Soul Cultivator advancing to the Life Witch Realm, a Body Cultivator reaching the Undying Body; these all shatter the earthly constraints to some extent, reaching a level capable of communicating with the power of Dao. Even if the divine skill hasn't reached perfection, as long as it's close, there's a chance to condense a Dao Seal." Xi Ying explained as she glanced into Guoguo's eyes.

Yuan Ming nodded; the three Dao Seals condensed by Yun Luo Fairy belonged to this category.

"I can feel that this Dao Seal contains a special aura, and the power of the magic has significantly increased from before." He said.

"Naturally, the Dao Seal contains the essence of the Dao, and its power is incomparable to the past." Xi Ying explained.

"I see. But Shura Master mentioned that the All Living Beings Dream Rune originates from the Abyss and wasn't condensed by himself. Could it be that a cultivator's Dao Seal can be passed on posthumously?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Such situations are rare. Generally, after a cultivator's demise, their Dao Seal dissipates. However, under certain special external influences, a Dao Seal might persist beyond the owner's death." Xi Ying replied.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming recalled that Shura Master obtained the All Living Beings Dream Rune amidst the Abyss Yin Qi Ghost Fog.

The All Living Beings Dream Seal, sharing its origin with the Yin Qi Ghost Fog, must have leveraged the Yin Power of the ghost fog to survive.

"Dao Seals contain the power of the Dao; the more condensed, the more beneficial they are to the cultivator. Especially for Magic Practitioners, the more Dao Seals they form in the Dharma Phase, the stronger their combat power. The Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce has a Dharma Phase Tributor from the Heavenly Saint Academy who has condensed nine Dao Seals. Although his cultivation is only at the early-stage Dharma manifestation, he can rival ordinary mid-stage Dharma manifestation opponents." Xi Ying stated seriously.

Yuan Ming felt a surge of delight upon hearing this; there was indeed such a concept.

All these years, he'd been using the Stealing Heaven Tripod to enhance his mastery of various Divine Skills, without realizing how fortuitous it was.

"The role of the Dao Seal is not only to boost combat ability. From the information I've reviewed recently, the more Dao Seals condensed, the more it aids in advancing to the Mahayana Realm." Xi Ying continued.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming was stunned.

Mahayana cultivators are the pinnacle existence in the Cultivation World, with fewer than five in the entire Chuyun Realm, and each is a pillar supporting the realm.

Reaching this realm means being a prodigy with great fortune, possibly appearing once in countless years.

To think that the elusive Mahayana Realm could be related to Dao Seals?

"Could you elaborate further?" Yuan Ming promptly requested.

"I saw related records in the Sky Eagle Chamber of Commerce's Wanjuan Pavilion Classics. To breakthrough to the Mahayana Realm, one must comprehend the Dao, and these Dao Seals present the best opportunity for a cultivator to do so." Xi Ying recalled, explaining.

"So, the more Dao Seals, the higher the chances of advancing to the Mahayana Realm?" Yuan Ming pondered slightly and said.

"Indeed, since you have the Stealing Heaven Tripod in hand, which allows you to quickly enhance your Divine Skills by possessing others, this is a great fortune. I hope you can condense as many Dao Seals as possible, preferably before breaking through the Dharma manifestation Stage." Xi Ying nodded and advised.

"Why is that?" Yuan Ming was slightly puzzled.

"Every breakthrough after the Dharma manifestation Stage will involve the descent of the power of Dao. Your Dao Seals can absorb more of the Dao's aura, becoming stronger, which will benefit your understanding and comprehension." Xi Ying explained.

"I see, I understand now. Xi Ying, how is your progress in training your Divine Skills? Have you condensed any Dao Seals?" Yuan Ming asked upon hearing this.
