After Ye Xuan made his choice, a fragment of the Great Dao also merged into his Primordial Spirit.
This caused Ye Xuan's aura to become even more profound, carrying a trace of supreme charm—precisely the insights concerning the Law of Fate. This Great Dao, ranked fourth among the Three Thousand Great Daos, had its own merits.
The Way of Karma, once fully mastered, could seek cause and determine effect, fix the future, or alter cause and change effect—already considered overbearing.
However, it still had some requirements: only what truly existed could be modified by the power of karma.
But the Way of Destiny, once fully mastered, could not only control the fate of every living being but also fabricate a reality out of nothing, possessing the power to reshape the future.
The two were cornerstones of the Heavenly Dao; when combined, they became the true Heavenly Dao.
Seeing another fragment of the Way of Destiny in his hand, Ye Xuan's face showed wild joy, and he immediately entered secluded cultivation again.
However, after going into seclusion, Ye Xuan did not begin to comprehend the Way of Destiny. In his hands, he still had a supreme divine ability.
Taiyi Wonderful Divine Light!
This supreme divine ability contained the path of the Five Elements Demon God Dao, which was also somewhat useful to Ye Xuan.
"Boom!"
After Ye Xuan went into seclusion, the Five-Colored Divine Light on his body blazed even brighter, especially the golden light, which carried a killing aura.
It was the Innate Geng Metal Qi.
Among the Innate Qi, this governed the path of slaughter, representing the Way of Slaughter.
As for the Innate Xin Metal Qi, it was the Essence of Taiyin, the origin of the eight minerals, forming completed tools. It could suppress all treasures, seal their mysteries, elevate the offensive power of Innate Spiritual Treasures, and rely on boundless freezing power to freeze all things. Once fully mastered, even the power of laws could be frozen.
Each of the five elemental forces had four layers of mystery, each representing a Great Dao, and when these Daos intermingled, a third layer of mystery could emerge.
If they continued to intermingle, all Three Thousand Great Daos could be encompassed within!
After another period of secluded cultivation, a contemplative look appeared on Ye Xuan's face. It seemed he had guessed correctly: after becoming a Sage, one must integrate other Daos into one's own Great Dao.
If so, the Dao Ancestor's strength would be greater than he had imagined.
After Pangu split the heavens, the three Chaos Supreme Treasures all shattered. One of them, the Jade Plate of Creation, could not only help one comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos but also contained their true essence. Though after breaking, the Three Thousand Great Daos within were mostly incomplete, it was still enough to let one go further on the Dao of Saint!
"Could it be that this Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method was created by splitting the Jade Plate of Creation into three, each entrusted to a corpse, and then developed?"
While pondering, Ye Xuan inexplicably had this thought, but after thinking it over, it cleared up some of his confusion.
The Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method was created by the Dao Ancestor, but no one knew what treasure he used to entrust the three corpses. In the Primordial World, the most powerful Innate Supreme Treasures were undoubtedly the Three Treasures of Creation. The Chaos Bell was in Emperor Taiyi's hands, while the other two were with the Dao Ancestor.
If he wished, he could fully recreate the Sky-Opening Axe and ascend to the Realm of Sages.
But he did not use it.
Moreover, after three sermons, he directly merged with the Heavenly Dao, though he did not step into the Realm of Sages.
However, it seemed that not just any Sage could become the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao; at the very least, one had to be infinitely close to the peak of Sagehood.
If the Dao Ancestor became a Sage through the Jade Plate Fragment, it would explain everything!
Within the Jade Plate Fragment were the Three Thousand Great Daos. To comprehend them, he created the Three Corpses Becoming Saint Method, entrusted the three corpses, mastered all Three Thousand Great Daos, and thus advanced by leaps and bounds, merging into the Heavenly Dao and becoming its spokesperson.
"Others' paths are to seize a Dao Lord position and use their own Great Dao to encompass all things, integrating the other Three Thousand Great Daos into their own.
If I follow others, as a latecomer, Ye Xuan would have no hope of transcendence.
After all, even a single Ice Dao had great achievements, capable of freezing the power of Great Dao Laws. Which Dao could Ye Xuan choose to surpass others by a margin?"
After some thought, a glimmer of understanding appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes. He didn't need to compete for Dao Lord; he could completely forge another path, walking his own way.
"My path shall be to blaze a new trail. The Three Thousand Heavens—each world is dominated by one Great Dao, encompassing the other Three Thousand Daos. I am the Great Dao, one person equivalent to the Three Thousand Demon Gods!"
After Ye Xuan's enlightenment, the Five-Colored Divine Light in his hand blazed even brighter. Infinite mysteries intermingled, giving rise to other mysteries, sending him directly into a state of epiphany.
Another thirty thousand years passed before Ye Xuan fully mastered the Taiyi Wonderful Divine Light. Within the Five-Colored Divine Light, each color shone brilliantly, as if forming a world!
Seeing that with a raise of his hand, the Five-Colored Divine Light blazed, Ye Xuan's face showed satisfaction. He immediately entered secluded cultivation again, beginning to comprehend the Way of Destiny.
Cultivation knew no time, and the Primordial World did not count years. After Ye Xuan went into seclusion, Emperor Taiyi and the others mobilized their forces to the Four Seas, attacking the Dragon Clan, forcing them into the Heavenly Court. But the Dragon Clan was not limited to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.
There was also a Quasi-Sage, who had existed since the Dragon-Phoenix Measure Tribulation, second only to the Ancestor Dragon in status within the clan.
However, after a great battle, the Dragon Clan chose to submit. In the Ancient Times, there were few pure-blooded dragons left, and Candle Dragon was no match for the combined forces of Fuxi and the others. In the end, they entered the Heavenly Court!
While the battle raged, Ye Xuan finally fully comprehended the power of the Great Dao Law of Fate. The Heavenly Dao's power within him grew even stronger, and every move he made carried a trace of heavenly might.
"Such powerful strength—this is the power of destiny?"
In Ye Xuan's eyes, every living being had a thread of fate, their infinite futures and destinies intertwined, leading them into predetermined outcomes.
The power of destiny had two aspects: one was the power of fate, the other the power of fortune. Fate was fixed number, fortune was mutable number. When the two merged, a variable could arise, granting the power to fabricate reality.
On Emperor Taiyi and the others, there was also a thread of fate, already locked onto a future of certain death!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan shook his head. The fate on Emperor Taiyi and the others was too heavy; every future essentially ended in death—they were already dead men. As for Daoist Kunpeng and Daoist Nuwa, they had a glimmer of life. One could establish the Demon Script, the other could mold clay to create humans. By gaining immense fortune, they could defy fate and escape the dead-end situation.
Watching this, Ye Xuan gained some insight into the Way of Destiny. Just as he was about to enter seclusion again, an electronic sound rang in his ear.
