World Dao-Proving Method, Evolving the Myriad Heavens Worlds Ahead of Time!

During the Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm, Zhao Gongming unleashed twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls and beat Quasi-Sage Ran Deng into fleeing in defeat.

Had he not encountered his nemesis, the Treasure-Dropping Coin, he wouldn't have ended up dying and being listed upon the Investiture of the Gods.

Moreover, the Dinghai Divine Pearls weren't merely for smashing people. They could also evolve into Twenty-Four Heavens Worlds.

That was equivalent to twenty-four worlds, integrated in offense and defense, their origins connected. Ran Deng had relied on the Twenty-Four Heavens Worlds to become the Western Buddhist School's foremost figure beneath the Saints, the Buddha of the Past. Once the Myriad Heavens Worlds were unleashed, offense and defense became one, leaving him invincible.

At this thought, Zhao Gongming immediately immersed his mind.

As his divine sense merged into them, the Innate Restrictions within the Dinghai Divine Pearls clearly appeared before him.

Previously, when his former self had examined the Innate Restrictions, it had been like viewing flowers through mist or fishing for the moon in water; he simply couldn't grasp their essence.

But now, under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, the once-complex restrictions appeared incomparably clear and simple before him.

The moment he began refining them, they were refined and deciphered at an astonishing speed, while countless insights surged continuously into his mind.

[You have refined 2 restrictions of the Dinghai Divine Pearls and gained a slight insight. You have comprehended the minor divine ability—Water Movement.]

[You have refined 12 restrictions of the Dinghai Divine Pearls. You have comprehended World Law. Current World Law: 15%!]

[You have refined 24 restrictions of the Dinghai Divine Pearls. Combined with World Law, you have attained enlightenment and comprehended the Myriad-Heavens World Dao-Proving Method.]

"Myriad-Heavens World-Creation Method?"

Zhao Gongming opened his eyes. At that moment, the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls appeared before him with a whirring spin, each one as large as a dou measure and radiating brilliant light.

Under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, he had refined over half the restrictions within the Dinghai Divine Pearls in mere moments and could already wield part of this Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure's power.

Yet what delighted Zhao Gongming even more was the Myriad-Heavens World Dao-Proving Method he had comprehended!

In the Primordial World, there were three mainstream methods of Dao-Proving: Strength-Based Dao-Proving, Merit-Based Dao-Proving, and Three Corpses Dao-Proving.

Strength-Based Dao-Proving wasn't truly proving the Dao through brute strength. Rather, it meant using the power of laws—Law-Based Dao-Proving. One had to thoroughly comprehend one of the Three Thousand Great Daos to perfection and fuse it into oneself. Only then could one charge forward in a single burst and attain the realm of the Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, becoming a Great Dao Sage. However, since Pangu had split open Heaven and Earth, those who had proven the Dao by this method seemed to be few and far between.

As for Three Corpses Dao-Proving, apart from Hongjun, there wasn't a single living being in the Primordial World who had proven the Dao through it.

The remaining path was Merit-Based Dao-Proving, also the mainstream method in the Primordial World. The Heavenly Dao Six Sages, and even Hongjun, had actually all attained sainthood through merit. There was a common misunderstanding here: people believed that becoming a Saint through merit was the weakest of the three methods. In truth, it was the strongest!

Heavenly Dao Sages wielded Heavenly Dao Authority. With every movement, they could draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth in the Primordial World. Even a Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal as powerful as Space God-Devil Yang Mei the Great had ultimately been driven to flee into the Chaos World and expelled from the Primordial World. This showed that after Hongjun merged with the Dao, so long as the greater currents remained unchanged and minor currents did not arise, Saints were the supreme existences of the Primordial World!

But attaining sainthood through merit was far too difficult!

Saints held the position of Heaven and Earth and wielded Heavenly Dao Authority.

If the Primordial World were compared to a house, Primordial Purple Qi would be the key. To become the administrator of Heaven and Earth, one first needed a key.

And because the house had limited space, the number of Saint Fruit Positions was limited as well—one radish for one hole.

The World Dao-Proving Method, however, took a different path.

Since the Saint Fruit Positions in this house were already full, then he would simply build another house—that was, open up an entirely new world.

At that time, he would be the owner of that house. Even without Primordial Purple Qi, he could naturally prove the Dao and become a Saint.

Even if the world he created couldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the Primordial World!

A world itself could still advance.

As long as it continued growing stronger, even if it couldn't catch up to the Primordial World, it was entirely possible for it to accumulate enough origin to support a Saint Fruit Position.

"To open a world using the Dinghai Divine Pearls, I need the Heaven-Earth Ruler..."

As Zhao Gongming contemplated the World Dao-Proving Method, trillions upon trillions of sparks of inspiration evolved in his mind in an instant, more terrifying than even a supercomputer from his previous life.

Very quickly, he suddenly looked toward the thunder tribulation clouds floating in the heavens, and a flash of inspiration struck him!

The Heaven-Earth Ruler contained Heaven-Earth Origin. Qian was Heaven, Kun was Earth; Qian and Kun were Heaven and Earth. It was this origin of Heaven and Earth that allowed the Heaven-Earth Ruler to assist the Dinghai Divine Pearls in evolving the Myriad Heavens Worlds. But thunder tribulations were likewise formed from the origin of Heaven and Earth in the Primordial World, and what they contained was pure Heavenly Dao Power. The Heaven-Earth Ruler was certainly good, but how could it compare to Heavenly Dao Power?

If he borrowed the thunder tribulation, not only could he save his three younger sisters, he could also use the origin power within it to directly evolve the Twenty-Four Heavens Worlds ahead of time.

At that point, even Ran Deng could only stare helplessly!

At this thought, Zhao Gongming's eyes immediately lit up.

"Go!"

At that moment, the thunder tribulation clouds in the heavens roared as they evolved thick, terrifying bolts of lightning, ready to descend once more.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming raised his hand, and the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls instantly shot beneath the thunder tribulation, drawing the Three Xiao Sisters into the pearls.

After losing their target, the tribulation lightning immediately struck toward the Dinghai Divine Pearls!

Rolling thunder shook the firmament!

Having lost its target, the thunder tribulation fell completely into a furious state. Bolts of lightning brimming with destructive aura continuously plunged into the Dinghai Divine Pearls.

Within the Dinghai Divine Pearls, as the terrifying lightning entered, their radiance flared brilliantly. As Zhao Gongming used the World-Creation Method, the power of Heaven and Earth Origin contained in the violent thunder tribulation was unexpectedly used to create worlds. Amid ceaseless booms, the small worlds within the Dinghai Divine Pearls rapidly broke through and evolved toward higher levels under the violent origin power.

Meanwhile, in a safe corner within the Dinghai Divine Pearls, the Three Xiao Sisters used their divine sense to observe the suddenly descending thunder tribulation, trembling in terror.

"Eldest Sister! Look! That thunder tribulation seems to have chased us in!"

Bi Xiao transmitted anxiously.

"Don't be afraid. We should be inside Eldest Brother's magic treasure now. Since Eldest Brother took us in, he must have confidence in dealing with the thunder tribulation."

Yun Xiao transmitted her reassurance to Bi Xiao, but there was still an undercurrent of worry in her voice.

After all, they were facing a Heavenly Dao Tribulation. If it were so easy to evade a Heavenly Dao Tribulation, no one would fear it like a tiger.

Though the three sisters were safe for now, Yun Xiao couldn't help worrying about Zhao Gongming outside.

How was Eldest Brother doing now, after helping them avoid the tribulation?

Just as Yun Xiao's heart was filled with worry, outside, Zhao Gongming watched the Heavenly Dao lightning descend without end, and his gaze gradually turned excited.

At that moment, as the lightning origin containing Heaven and Earth Origin continuously poured into the Dinghai Divine Pearls, the worlds within the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls had expanded more than a hundredfold compared to before. They had already faintly taken on the rudimentary form of the Twenty-Four Heavens Worlds. Yet before Zhao Gongming could rejoice, the violent lightning suddenly came to an abrupt halt. Even the thunder tribulation clouds in the heavens began slowly dissipating.

"That's it? It's over already?"

Rather than pleased, Zhao Gongming felt somewhat helpless.

Lightning in the Primordial World was also divided into ranks: Forty-Nine Divine Lightning, Eighty-One Divine Lightning, Purple Firmament Divine Thunder, and the legendary Chaos Divine Lightning.

In the end, the Three Xiao Sisters had only been tainted by a wisp of Dragon Clan Karmic Power. The Heavenly Dao had merely sent down a Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Had his former self not acted so rashly, it probably would have ended long ago.

But the Myriad Heavens Worlds had only just evolved their rudimentary forms. The feeling was like being at the height of pleasure, only for it to abruptly stop.

Rumble!

Yet just as Zhao Gongming felt helpless, the heavens over the entire Eastern Sea of the Primordial World seemed to darken. Then, the thunder tribulation clouds that had just dispersed gathered anew in a vast and mighty sweep. This time, they stretched for more than a million li, and the destructive might they contained was enough to make even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals change color.

"This is... Eighty-One Divine Lightning?"

As Zhao Gongming watched the thunder tribulation clouds gather once again, light bloomed anew in his eyes.
