Great Dao Ruler, Heavenly Desolation Realm
"The number of Innate Gods and Devils is small, and they are all different, making it impossible for them to form a single race. Otherwise, all the races of the heavens would have to submit to them."
Liu Yi stroked his chin, lost in thought.
The gestation of Innate Gods and Devils is too mysterious. What would it be like if they could completely transform into the Great Dao Principle during the gestation process?
At that time, one will be able to Ruler a Great Dao Principle and become the true Lord of the Great Dao.
Upon thinking of this, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he murmured to himself:
"Ruler a Great Dao Principle... The Great Dao Ruler..."
Could it be that the true essence of the Ruler Realm is to embody the Great Dao Principle and completely control one of them?
That makes some sense, but to what extent must one go to truly grasp the Great Dao?
He frowned, pondered deeply, and gradually an answer came to him:
"Presumably, it means merging one's essence, energy, and spirit entirely into the Great Dao, and then transcending from the Great Dao to wield the power of the Great Dao."
Simply put, it means the Return to Unity of "essence, energy, spirit, and the Dao," achieving Primordial Unity, Dao Dissolution, and thus gaining control over the Great Dao.
Thinking of this, his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, and he muttered to himself:
No way!
If that's the case, then my current state of 'essence, qi, spirit, and Dao' as a unified whole at the Martial Emperor Realm is actually very close to that of the Ruler Realm.
It's just unclear whether the two are completely identical or if there are other differences.
Is the truth really as I think?
Or perhaps I was wrong from the start, and the Ruler Realm doesn't involve wielding the Great Dao, but rather holds some other profound mystery?
But in my opinion, the true essence of the Ruler Realm should be to embody the Great Dao and wield its Great Dao Principle.
After pondering for a long time, he sighed and shook his head, suppressing his thoughts for the time being.
No amount of speculation will lead to a definitive conclusion, so it's better to put this issue aside for now.
He then proceeded to deduce the cultivation path for the next realm on his own.
While traveling to various realms to gather information, they might find a few clues about the Ruler Realm, thus uncovering its true mysteries.
Having made up his mind, he conjured up the figure from the Long River of Time, while concealing some of the secrets.
"Hehe, those enemies would never have imagined that I have already transcended time and space and become Martial Emperor."
If they ever try to scheme against me using the Long River of Time, I will give them an unexpected surprise.
He then turned his gaze toward the Heavenly Dao Space.
The once vast World Origin has now dwindled to a small lake, having consumed ninety percent of its original power before his breakthrough to Martial Emperor.
"No wonder I entered the late stage directly after breaking through to Martial Emperor. If I hadn't deliberately suppressed my cultivation, I could have even reached the peak in one step."
It turns out that he absorbed a massive amount of the World Origin, and with the integration of his Past Self and Future Self, he achieved this leap in realm.
Unfortunately, now that I have transcended time and space, the "Three-World Supreme Technique" can no longer condense my Past Self and Future Self.
Otherwise, my combat strength and cultivation speed would definitely have increased several levels.
His gaze swept over the Cauldron of Creation, and he raised his hand to retrieve this Innate Spirit Treasure back into his inner world, leaving only the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Great Dao Jade Disc.
Then, looking at the World Origin in that lake, he lightly tapped his fingertip, driving the power of the Heavenly Dao, manipulating creation, and condensing the World Origin of the entire lake into a Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light.
Once the Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light took shape, only a small pool remained of the World Origin.
He reached out and grasped the Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light in his palm, examining it closely, a smile playing on his lips.
After breaking through to the Martial Emperor, and in coordination with the Heavenly Dao, his methods of creation became even more profound, enabling him to directly create Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light.
The only problem is that creating the Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light consumed a lot of the World Origin.
Then it was returned to the Heavenly Dao Space, where it was continuously nurtured with the World Origin, helping the spiritual light to grow stronger.
Liu Yi probed the 3000th floor of the Trial Tower with his Divine Sense, intending to create a mirror image of himself to hone his combat skills and familiarize himself with the surging power within his body.
Unexpectedly, it was discovered that the Fairness System could no longer evolve his mirror image.
This unexpected turn of events startled him slightly; it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
After a brief deduction, he quickly figured out the Liaoyuan:
Now he is Martial Emperor, with unparalleled strength, and has even achieved the unity of "essence, energy, spirit, and Dao".
The Fairness System is no longer capable of evolving its own mirror image.
He sighed helplessly, realizing that he would soon lose a place to hone his combat skills and Divine Ability.
After exiting the Trial Tower, he saw a message from Little Yellow on Microchat:
"Master, have you not emerged from seclusion yet?"
This seclusion has been going on for far too long!
I have already cultivated to the peak of the Longevity Realm and am preparing to break through to the True Martial Realm.
This message was from many years ago; Liu Yi had been in seclusion at the time and hadn't seen it.
He immediately replied, "I have just finished my seclusion and will continue my intensive training."
"Cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Martial King Realm as soon as possible."
"Wow, Master, you finally replied! You've been in seclusion for so long, and I've just broken through to the True Martial Realm. Becoming Martial King is only a matter of time!" Little Yellow replied quickly.
"I actually went into seclusion once before, rested for a while, and then went into seclusion again."
Your cultivation progress is good; it's clear you haven't slacked off. Keep up the good work.
I hope that when I emerge from seclusion next time, you will have broken through to the Martial King.
Liu Yi exited the system and sat cross-legged on the Chaos Azure Lotus.
The Great Dao Jade Disc above his head emitted Dao light, helping him to enhance his comprehension.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, entering a state of seclusion once more to solidify his Martial Emperor Realm cultivation.
While using his Divine Sense to link with the Subsystem Computing Power Matrix, he began to deduce the Martial Emperor Realm methods of the Fairness System 15.0 and the Dao Seed Martial Dao System Cultivation Method Secret Manual in the System Store.
Not far from the Azure Billows Realm lies the Desolate Heavenly Desolation Realm, the outer sect residence of the Wuji Demon Sect.
Zhang Wei returned to his residence covered in wounds. Ignoring the excruciating pain, he lay down on the bed, his eyes vacant and filled with despair.
Three years ago, he was still on Earth, eating hot pot and singing songs.
Suddenly, a beam of light struck, and he was inexplicably transported to the Heavenly Desolation Realm.
At first, he was full of expectations, thinking that he could embark on the path to immortality and seek Longevity.
As a model young man on Earth, he originally did not want to join Devil Dao Sect, but now he had no other choice.
If one wishes to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference of other cultivation sects, one must travel to other countries, which are thousands of miles apart, and are rife with bandits along the way.
Given his modern physique, he would probably perish in the wilderness before he got very far.
Left with no other choice, and driven by his dream of Longevity, he had no choice but to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference of the Wuji Demon Sect.
He was initially worried that since he had transmigrated in a physical body, he would be a person without Spirit Root.
Fortunately, during the initial Spirit Root test, he was found to have Five Elements Spirit Root.
Although this was only the worst aptitude for cultivation, he was already quite content, at least he had the qualification to embark on the path of cultivation.
Since joining the Wuji Demon Sect, Zhang Wei has been cultivating diligently day and night, but his aptitude for the Five Elements Spirit Root is really mediocre. For three whole years, he has only cultivated to the Qi Refinement Third Layer.
Although the Wuji Demon Sect belongs to the demonic path, it does not treat its disciples as talents like those described in the novels he read in his previous life.
On the contrary, outer disciples have meat for every meal, and are given a Low-Grade Spirit Stone every month. The sect rules also strictly prohibit fellow disciples from killing each other.
However, competition among demonic sects is fierce, and forming cliques and bullying the weak are commonplace. As long as no one dies, no one cares.
Because of his slow progress in cultivation, he remained at the bottom of the hierarchy for many years and was repeatedly harassed by Chen Heng, a bully from the outer sect. Chen Heng even tried to steal his Spirit Stone on several occasions.
But Zhang Wei never gave in easily and always fought back fiercely.
Unfortunately, Chen Heng possessed Three Spirit Root and had already reached the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer. The difference in their cultivation levels, coupled with the fact that he had two subordinates, made it difficult for Chen Heng to compete.
This is why he lost every time.
He had just fought another battle with his opponent and was covered in injuries. Even the Spirit Stone that the sect had just distributed were stolen from him.
