For twenty years, Fang Qianyuan had not appeared before the world. Rumors abounded that he had entered the crucial stage of his push toward Heavenly Dao Great Perfection.
With Ye Tianming's understanding of the Heavenly Dao Realm, he also knew that after reaching great accomplishment in the Heavenly Dao, Fang Qianyuan needed to absorb and refine more origin power and master more Dao paths, constructing a vaster, grander net of laws to seize control of the entire Spirit-Taming World.
Yet the Heavenly Dao was immense, and it posed a tremendous trial to the will of any sentient being.
Even after Fang Qianyuan advanced to the Heavenly Dao Great Accomplishment Realm and could use his innate spirit-taming method to share the burden of its erosion of his will, he would still struggle to endure it.
Supreme Heaven Sect Master Panling had slumbered for tens of thousands of years. Not only had he failed to weather this ordeal, but he had sunk ever deeper into it, ultimately falling to Fang Qianyuan.
Now Fang Qianyuan was undergoing this cycle as well, but Ye Tianming did not believe he would follow in Panling's footsteps.
Over these twenty years, he had clearly sensed that Fang Qianyuan was not letting his instincts dictate his actions. Instead, he consciously selected the more important Dao paths, entering the Dao through such crucial origins of the universe as yin-yang, the Space Dao, and the Time Dao. This allowed him to maximize his cultivation and strength while keeping the burden within limits.
Once he transferred his origin and severed off a Heavenly Emperor manifestation, he would use this to rebuild the Immortal Dao and establish a magnificent foundation that would endure unchanged for countless ages.
Yet Ye Tianming had never expected Fang Qianyuan to awaken so quickly.
