What was the jade stele capturing the vein patterns of my Dao inheritance for? Moreover, most of these vein patterns could be matched up, but what did the extra parts mean? They were practically inexplicable extensions! Normally, altering one's vein patterns would inevitably cause immense harm to oneself. If the patterns became disordered, one might even go mad like Forbidden Slave!
If there were too many vein patterns, the Dao body might even develop strange characteristics. In mild cases, one might become hideously ugly; in severe cases, one might grow an extra arm or two, or lose an arm or leg and end up looking like an alien. All of that was possible. So which normal immortal would casually alter the channels of their own body?
I suddenly wondered if Forbidden Slave had forcibly altered her Dao body according to the vein patterns she currently possessed, thereby becoming the inhuman, ghostlike figure she was now.
"This..." My face couldn't help turning deathly pale. Come to think of it, this really did explain why Forbidden Slave had become like this!
But when I thought about it again, something felt wrong. If it had merely been a partial disorder, she should have been able to change it back at the time! What exactly had caused her to walk down that road to the bitter end? And what did the extension of these Dao-inheritance channels mean? What consequences would there be if I let them extend?
I stood before the three jade steles, completely captivated by them. After racking my brains and still failing to understand, I decided to let the jade disk absorb more of my Dao power—at least until all the Dao-inheritance channels in my Dao body were fully revealed on the three jade steles. Only then would I know
