Tian Dao Yi
"This is truly a makeshift team!" The Great Xia Cabinet, who watched the entire Tai Heng Elder Council, exclaimed.
Many large organizations, countries, companies, and enterprises subjectively assume that their leaders, senior executives, directors, general managers, secretaries, etc., should be extremely professional people, the elite of humanity, the smartest of the smart.
In reality, they are just like us, ordinary people with desires, prone to making foolish mistakes, and capable of making extremely idiotic decisions on some issues.
This theory is called the "makeshift team theory".
In short, the Taiheng Sect, the world's largest sect, is nothing more than a makeshift team of people who don't know how to govern.
The reason for its formation is quite simple: this is a world of cultivators, where great power belongs to the individual.
Naturally, here it's not a case of the capable rising and the mediocre falling, but rather the strong rising and the weak falling.
Of course, a strong person is not necessarily a mediocre person; they may also be a capable person. However, the probability of this is extremely low, because to become strong, one is destined to spend most of their time becoming stronger.
Where would they find the time to study how to govern a sect or manage a country?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tian Dao Yi, as one of the earliest super geniuses to open Deep Blue Weibo, now boasts 16 billion followers. His information and experiences have long been published online and can be easily found with a simple search.
So, as soon as he learned that his opponent had changed from Qu Heng to Tian Dao Yi, his information appeared in front of all the staff officers and leaders of the Eastern Victory General Staff.
Tian Dao Yi, who is three thousand years old, was born in a small country in Northern Plains that had just been established. He is the fourth son in his Lineage.
His father had no idea of the existence of the Taiheng Sect. Naturally, ignorance is bliss, and he didn't take Taiheng seriously at all. It was only after the cultivators who came to recruit disciples demonstrated their strength that his father casually sent a son to Taiheng. This son was Tian Dao Yi.
With such an arrogant father, the dynasty was bound to fail. Thus, Tian Dao Yi was only in the fourth grade when the country was destroyed.
Without the support of his Lineage, Tian Dao Yi was naturally unable to complete his studies and had to graduate early.
Unable to afford to support maids and servants, he had no choice but to sell them off. Only Xu Guiyuan had learned some blacksmithing skills, remained, so he stayed.
However, Xu Guiyuan was a loyal person. Even in this situation, he did not abandon his master. Instead, he worked tirelessly to help his master continue his cultivation.
Finally, after 11 years, he broke through to the Body Refinement Eighth Level in the Tian Dao Yi, and then, at the age of 27, he joined the outer sect of the Taiheng Sect.
Eight years later, at the age of 35, Tian Dao Yi successfully Qi Induction and entered the inner sect of the Taiheng Sect.
Since there was no country, Tian Dao Yi chose the Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps, a Divine Ability that could be cultivated by killing people and destroying fate. He did not stay in the sect, but went directly to the newly established Hundred Nations Battlefield.
Initially, he joined the inner disciple's ranks. Later, when this inner disciple advanced in cultivation, he left his entire army to him, who had distinguished himself in battle.
Tian Dao Yi then declared himself king and led his troops on expeditions to the east and west, destroying forty-one kingdoms in six years and nearly unifying the South Sea Peninsula.
During this period, he successfully mastered the Calamity Annihilation Heavenly Origin Steps and advanced to the Supernatural Power Realm.
Having reached this level, he could no longer remain on the Hundred Nations Battlefield, so he had no choice but to abandon his foundation and return to his clan, and the country he had built was directly destroyed.
With no one to kill and no country to govern, his cultivation stalled once again. Due to insufficient luck, he was stuck at the Divine Power Realm for over four hundred years, unable to progress from the Supernatural Power Realm to the Talisman Realm.
With a promising future and nearing the Tian Dao Yi of his lifespan, Taiheng Sect was assigned to the Transmission Hall of the Taiheng Sect to organize notes and materials.
While other cultivators were just wasting their time here, he was genuinely organizing materials, hoping to find a way to break the deadlock from the manuscripts of his predecessors.
He actually found it: to become the senior disciple and representative of the Taiheng Sect.
As long as everyone considers you to be the senior disciple of the Taiheng Sect, you will naturally receive the Taiheng Sect's fortune, and cultivation will naturally not be a problem.
But this is also a dangerous path, because as the senior disciple, you must be strong and invincible. Not only must you face challenges from the disciples within the sect, but cultivators outside are also always looking to kill you!
Tian Dao Yi chose to face the challenge head-on.
He changed his name to Tian Dao Yi, first trained within the sect, and then conquered the world. In just five years, he earned the title of being invincible among his peers!
From then Tian Dao Yi Qi of Taiheng, and his cultivation path became smoother.
However, he did not rush to break through. Instead, in order to maintain his title of being invincible among his peers, he would accumulate strength for a long time before each breakthrough, so as to remain powerful after the breakthrough.
It took him 300 years to go from the Talisman Realm to the Golden Core Realm.
It took him 450 years to go from the Golden Core Realm to the Divine Aspect Realm.
It took him 600 years to go from the Divine Aspect Realm to the Pure Yang Realm.
It took him 820 years to go from the Pure Yang Realm to the Supreme Being Realm!
Almost all of them broke through the lifespan limit!
With his cultivation level, he could have broken through to the Spiritual Law Realm long ago, but he was still accumulating strength, thinking that he would still be invincible among his peers once he reached the Spiritual Law Realm.
"This opponent..." Uchiha Madara. "Invincible among his peers? I'd like to see just how powerful he really is!"
"His level is higher than yours!" Senju Hashirama.
"Hmph, I'm going to challenge him and beat him even if I'm stronger than him!" Uchiha Madara said calmly.
He's invincible among his peers, but he's still just an ordinary person.
True geniuses are those who can challenge those of higher levels!
"If we can defeat him by challenging someone of a higher level, that would indeed be a good way to beat him!" Nara Shikahisa nodded, agreeing that it was a good idea.
In his early years, Tian Dao Yi pursued invincibility among his peers, perhaps to become the face of the Taiheng Sect and for his own cultivation. But now, this "invincibility among his peers" has become his path!
If one could defeat him in a challenge that puts him at a higher level, it would be enough to cause his Dao heart to collapse on the spot.
If one's Dao heart has collapsed, how can one lead troops into battle?
"But we don't have any information about him taking action!" Mei Terumi asked. "How can we obtain detailed information about him and assess his combat capabilities?"
"First of all, as the senior disciple of the Taiheng Sect Great Destiny Technique!" Nara Shikahisa said.
Everyone nodded.
"Secondly, since he has had such a long time to cultivate, he might also have mastered other unparalleled Peerless Divine Abilities of the Taiheng Sect!"
The [Great Destiny Technique] consists of Eight Gates Peerless Divine Abilities, which cannot form the seven Peerless Divine Abilities of the Supreme Dao Arts. This is the foundation of Taiheng.
This means that Tian Dao Yi has cultivated at least fifteen Peerless Divine Abilities.
"Tian Dao Yi has traveled all over the world and participated in many martial arts tournaments. It's possible that he learned other Divine Ability along the way!" Nara Shikahisa continued.
No grand event would reward Peerless Divine Abilities; that would be aiding the enemy.
But there's a chance of some opportunity along the way.
Conservatively estimating, let's say he has five subjects, that makes a total of twenty.
To challenge someone of a higher level, one must either possess more Divine Ability abilities than them, or have a Supreme Dao Arts composed of an extremely large number of Peerless Divine Abilities.
However, there are very few Supreme Dao Arts that can surpass the [Great Destiny Technique]. Bao Xiang Ru Lai said that the [Great Destiny Technique] can counter the [Great Karma Technique].
How powerful is cause and effect? Fate cannot escape it; cause and effect reign supreme!
Moreover, luck is a part of destiny.
Although this world doesn't have this ranking, [Great Destiny Technique] is definitely not Divine Ability that can be used to bluff anyone.
Moreover, the Tian Dao Yi has lived for three thousand years and cultivated the [Great Destiny Technique] for three thousand years; how powerful and profound must its accumulated strength be?
The Eastern Victory group, which has only been around for a little over a decade, no matter how talented they are, are facing a powerful figure who has accumulated Law Power three thousand years.
You wouldn't know unless you analyzed it, and once you do, you realize that this kind of challenge beyond one's level is not so easy to do.
Even if Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama joined forces, it's hard to say whether they could handle it.
After all, whether it's Rinnegan, their strongest Susanoo is nothing more than gravity.
Wood Release is a purely physical attack, which is Electromagnetic Force.
How do gravity and Electromagnetic Force counteract fate?
Seeing everyone remain silent, a girl with shoulder-length short hair, wearing a blue kimono, possessing a sharp aura, and with blue-purple spiral patterns blooming in her eyes, spoke up, "How about I give it a try?"
