Source Great Dao

Biodata

Nature and hierarchy

• Source Great Daos surpass Source Laws. Even a fading remnant of Great Dao power can suppress a cultivator’s Law power 33.
• There are three thousand Source Great Daos. Complete Great Daos have no inherent ranking: at the same realm, the Water Great Dao can contend with Space or Destiny 422 552.
• Before completion, some Daos are more immediately effective but harder to comprehend. Time, Space, Karma, Destiny, and Slaughter are treated as particularly formidable at this stage 552.
• Each Source Great Dao and its source are unique; lost Great Dao Source cannot simply be restored 495.

Cultivation and attainment

• At the Twenty-Sixth Tier—the Primordial World’s Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm—a cultivator begins comprehending a Source Great Dao 119.
• Comprehending ten percent is sufficient to carry a Great Dao. Reaching complete comprehension and attaining Enlightenment are far more difficult 442.
• Essence, Qi, and Spirit must form the Three Flowers to bear Great Dao power; an inadequate foundation can be crushed by it 342.
• During Enlightenment, a cultivator verifies their own Dao against a world’s complete Source Great Dao. Their Three Flowers then merge with the Dao to form a Great Dao Flower, the source of a Thirtieth-Tier Dao Attainer’s power 483 484 487.
• A Great Dao Flower can merge with further Great Dao Sources. Their combined power grows without the sources becoming incompatible 487 559.

Worlds and treasures

• A world bearing even one Source Great Dao qualifies as a Grand Cosmos. The Primordial World contains forty-nine complete Source Great Daos 15 513.
• Great Dao Treasures contain Source Great Dao power. An incomplete Dao makes a treasure an Innate Spiritual Treasure; a complete one makes it an Innate Supreme Treasure 34.
• The documented Innate Spiritual Treasure grades correspond to the proportion of Source Great Dao they contain 34:

• Possessing a treasure’s Great Dao power is distinct from attaining that Dao oneself. Bai Yu could wield the Profound Light Pearl’s power before Enlightenment, but gained direct control of the Space Great Dao only after his own breakthrough 320 486.
• Great Dao power can overwhelm lesser worlds and even destroy an undefended Grand Cosmos. A Grand Cosmos’s Heavenly Dao can counter it with power of the same level 506.
