Chapter 721: Dao Ancestor (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xiao Shi had only heard that people from the Tianwu Continent could enter the Beginner Martial Era. He had never heard that people from the Beginner Martial Era could go to the Tianwu Continent.

Especially when he knew that the Beginner Martial Era would constantly reset. He realized that it was impossible for people from the Beginner Martial Era to go to the Tianwu Continent.

But how should he explain what happened to him at that time? Xiao Shi was puzzled.

Just as he was shocked and puzzled, the Dao Ancestor standing in front of them had already said slowly, “Although the Dao of the world is divided into the Heavenly Dao and the mortal Dao, no matter which Dao it is, it has endless and unknown potential.

“In fact, most martial artists only grasped the most basic Dao and did not explore these potentials of the Dao. Even though the Dao of the world was created by me, even 1 can’t discover the greatest potential of every Dao.

“In my opinion, the potential of Dao is endless!”

Apart from Xiao Shi, this was not the first time the others had heard the Dao Ancestor say this. Almost after every reset of the Beginner Martial Era, when they first saw the Dao Ancestor, he would say the same thing.

But even so, everyone listened attentively. Every time they heard the Dao Ancestor’s words, they would have a different feeling.

Compared to others, wWhen Xiao Shi heard the other party’s words, his entire mind shook violently again. He noticed an important message from the other party’s words.

That was that the Dao of the world was created by this Dao Ancestor! This was also the reason why the other party was called the Dao Ancestor. Dao Ancestor and Daolord. Although there was only a difference of one word, the meaning of the two was completely different.

The Dao Ancestor was the ancestor of the Dao. He was the founder of Dao. This was definitely not something an ordinary Daolord could compare to.

This also made Xiao Shi understand why these people were so respectful to this Dao Ancestor. He also understood the shocking value of the nine identities they could choose previously. Be it the disciples of the Dao Ancestor, they all had the chance to master the Dao under the guidance of the Dao Ancestor.

This was undoubtedly an indescribably huge opportunity. It was enough to make Sages of any era go crazy. No wonder Beginner Martial Reflection Dao was a Daolord-level item of the highest quality!

The opportunities contained in the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao was far larger than Xiao Shi had imagined.

Under Xiao Shi’s shock, the Dao Ancestor continued, “I know that your goal is to control the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is difficult to achieve overnight. 1 hope that you can start from the mortal Dao and advance to the Heavenly Dao step by step!”

Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He felt that every word the other party said could resolve the doubts in his heart and also give him an extremely strong shock. Before that, he knew that there was only one way for mortal Dao to advance to Heavenly Dao.

That was to become the ruler of an era like the Martial Emperor. However, this method was clearly useless in the Beginner Martial Era. Or rather, there was another method here that could allow mortal Dao to advance to the Heavenly Dao even without becoming the ruler of the era.

Clearly, this was the reason why the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord chose to become a Daolord with the mortal dao. He wanted to use the mortal Dao to advance to the Heavenly Dao!

It was not that he could control many Daos. Apart from the Dao Ancestor, no one in the world could control the second Dao.

“Among you, Fourth is quite talented and has already successfully grasped the Kindness Dao. There are two ways to advance to the Heavenly Dao.

“The first is to continue to dig out the potential of the Kindness Dao through karma and use the Great Good Dao to advance to the Heavenly Dao.

“The second is to control the evil Dao through karma and fuse with the Kindness Dao. You can use the good and evil Dao to advance to the Heavenly Dao.”

The Dao Ancestor looked at the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord and nodded in appreciation. He also told the other party the path of grasping the Dao. Then, he looked at the others. “As for the few of you, although you have already touched the aura of Dao, you are still a little far from mastering Dao. You have to speed up your progress.”

Finally, the Dao Ancestor focused his gaze on Xiao Shi. “Old Seventh, your progress is the slowest. Although the Slaughter Dao is too domineering, this Dao is very compatible with you. It’s the most suitable Dao for you. If you can master this Dao, your future will be limitless.”

The Dao Ancestor’s words to Xiao Shi surprised everyone. Although they knew that after every reset, the Dao Ancestor would evaluate them according to their Dao situation, they did not expect the Dao Ancestor to make such an advanced evaluation from Xiao Shi.

One had to know that in the past, when they first grasped the Dao, the Dao Ancestor’s evaluation of them was “not bad”. There were even situations where he directly shook his head to indicate that their dao were not compatible with themselves. No one had ever been praised for being “very compatible” or for having a bright future.

This made their expressions complicated. They did not expect Xiao Shi to be so lucky to choose the most suitable dao technique as soon as he arrived.

However, when they thought of the drawbacks of the Slaughter Dao, they felt that even if the method of the Slaughter Dao was very compatible with Xiao Shi, it would be very difficult for him to use it.

Soon, when the Dao Ancestor evaluated the situation of each of them, he gave pointers according to everyone’s dao. Because the Dao Ancestor was giving public guidance, this also made Xiao Shi realize that the different daos were still very different from each other through the Dao Ancestor’s guidance to others.

For example, using karma to control the Dao. In the next 300 years, he needed to constantly form karma with the people in the Beginner Martial Era, especially with those experts. Be it good karma or evil karma, the deeper the karma between them, the faster the speed of grasping the Dao.

However, with the karma Dao, the Dao he usually controlled would also be a karma-type Dao. It was very difficult for other types of Dao to appear. For example, the Kindness Dao that the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord controlled was the Dao that he grasped through karma.

In order to control this Dao, the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord did not hesitate to choose to sleep with the ten daughters of a Daolord from the Beginner Martial Era. Thus, he formed an extremely deep karma with the other party. What was worth mentioning was that this Daolord and his ten daughters were all special corpses like the Red Refined Corpse that had independent intelligence.

After Xiao Shi found out about this, he could not help but sigh in his heart. He was a ruthless person!

Usually, when there was more good karma, it would be easier to form a kindness dao. If there were more bad karma, it would be the evil dao. It was not only the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord who could use karma to control the Dao.

Xiao Shi and the others could also choose to use karma to control the Dao. However, if they used karma to control the Dao, there would not be much additional improvement. Only by controlling the Dao in a way that matched their status was the easiest way to control the Dao. Therefore, none of them would choose to master the Dao in other ways.

As for Xiao Shi’s Slaughter Dao, it was not complicated. He only needed to continuously kill to gradually master it. However, in terms of killing, there were also certain requirements. If he killed martial artists below the Sage realm, it would be almost useless. At the very least, he had to kill a Sage.

However, the Beginner Martial Era was different from the Great Martial Era where Xiao Shi was. In the Beginner Martial Era, there were no independent lords like the Great Martial Era.

Sages from the Beginner Martial Era were basically under the protection of those Daolords, demigods, and even existences at the ninth realm of the Martial Dao. This was also the most difficult part of Slaughter Dao. It was impossible to kill the Sages under their protection under the noses of those Daolords, demigods, and even existences at the ninth realm of the martial path.

Moreover, even if he successfully killed one or two Sages, he would not be able to directly control the Dao. If he wanted to pass the Slaughter Dao, he would definitely need to kill a lot of Sages.

If he could kill the Daolord, it would be equivalent to sleeping with the ten daughters of that Daolord under the karma dao. It could instantly accelerate huge progress. However, this was clearly not something Sages like them could do.

This made the Slaughter Dao a dead end for them.

When the Dao Ancestor gave pointers to every disciple, he ordered, “I’ve already told you the key to control the Dao. Next, you can go out and do it.” “Yes!” Everyone responded respectfully.

However, just as they were about to leave, the Dao Ancestor suddenly said, “Old Seventh, stay for a while. The others can leave..”
