"Uh..."
After hearing Laozi's explanation, Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian hurriedly continued reading the Jade Talisman.
A long while later, they came back to their senses and said somewhat helplessly, "So that's how it is!"
"Attain Dao through Law has an extremely high threshold in its own right."
"Reaching entry level in a law is difficult. Those who reach minor accomplishment are few and far between, while those who reach major accomplishment are as rare as phoenix feathers and kirin horns. Hardly anyone can reach perfection, and as for laws beyond perfection, not a single person has attained them!"
"Although Daluo Golden Immortals have ample time to deduce laws, how tremendously difficult is it to choose the one most suited to oneself from among so many laws, let alone develop it to major accomplishment? And how much harder is it to surpass perfection!"
Hearing this, Li Yun nodded in agreement.
Only a law that surpassed perfection could allow one to advance to the Hunyuan Sage realm.
This information was completely unexpected. It even proved one thing: even the Twelve Ancestor Witches, who had inherited Pangu's complete laws, could not attain Dao and become Saints through that inheritance alone.
Unless they broke their shackles and surpassed perfection on the foundation of their inheritance, the furthest they could go along the path of Attain Dao through Law was the level of a Limitless Golden Immortal. Although they could rival half-saints, False Saints, or even Sub-Saints, they would ultimately not be Saints.
At this thought, Li Yun could not help sighing. "It really is difficult!"
"From what I can see, attaining Dao and becoming a Saint through laws is scarcely any easier than Attain Dao through Strength."
This was no joke.
With the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, it would be even harder.
