In the past hundred years, Xiao Shi had already begun to construct the Behind-the-scenes Dao. He had basically successfully constructed the prototype of the Behind-the-scenes Dao. However, it was extremely difficult for this Behind-the-scenes Dao to transform into the Heavenly Dao.

If Xiao Shi did it himself, he estimated that it would take at least a hundred years before he could turn the Behind-the-scenes Dao into the Heavenly Dao. Fortunately, after the Martial Progenitor revived, he would directly help him form the Heavenly Dao.

“Dao River, open!” Following the Martial Progenitor’s words, the sky of the Beginner Martial Era immediately changed. However, this change could only be sensed by people in the upper three realms of martial arts. Those who had not reached the upper three realms of martial arts could not see anything abnormal in the sky at all.

The entire sky turned pitch-black at this moment. But he could not see any abnormality in this pitch-black sky until the Martial Progenitor reached out his hand and tapped gently on his glabella.

Hiss! It was as if he had activated his Heavenly Eye. Xiao Shi immediately saw bean-sized stars scattered densely in the sky that was like a spread of black velvet. They were either bright and flickering, or dim and lifeless.

“This is…” Xiao Shi’s heart trembled. He could sense that these stars in the sky were not ordinary stars.

“This is the Dao Star in my Beginner Martial Era’s Dao River!” The Martial Progenitor stared at the stars in the sky and said to Xiao Shi. “Every Dao star represents a Dao that exists in the Beginner Martial Era. These smallest Dao stars represent inferior-class mortal Dao. The larger Dao Star above is a superior-class mortal Dao. And the star at the top is the Heavenly Dao!”

Following the Martial Progenitor’s explanation, Xiao Shi’s gaze condensed on these Dao Stars. These Dao stars were divided into three levels: upper, intermediate, and lower. The lowest-level Dao Stars were all bean-sized stars. The Dao Star in the middle level was about the size of a basketball. The Dao Star at the top gave Xiao Shi the feeling that it was as big as the sun!

Moreover, in terms of quantity, the Dao Stars at the lowest level had the most quantity. The higher they went, the fewer there were.

Not only that, most of the Dao Stars emitted a dazzling light. However, there were also a small number of Dao Stars that seemed dim.

“Those dim Dao Stars represent that the person who previously controlled this Dao has already died, causing these Dao to become ownerless.” The Martial Progenitor said.

Xiao Shi was enlightened. He suddenly recalled that in the Great Wu Era, if Sages wanted to master the Dao and become Daolords, they usually had to fight for these ownerless Dao. In the era of the Great Wu, no one could pioneer the Dao. They were all competing for the existing Dao.

Once the number of existing Daos was not enough, there was no extra Dao. Then, he would not be able to become a Daolord. Therefore, in the Great Wu Era, the number of Daolords was limited and fixed.

If there were only more than ten Dao in the Great Wu Era, at most, there would only be more than ten Daolords. However, it was different in the Beginner Martial Era. Perhaps it was because of the existence of the Dao Ancestor in the Beginner Martial Era that there were many Dao in the entire Beginner Martial Era.

Xiao Shi found his Slaughter Dao among the many inferior-class mortal Dao on the Dao River above. He found the Exclusive Dao in the superior-class mortal Dao.

“When I return to my era, will my Dao appear in the Dao River of my era?” Xiao Shi suddenly thought of this problem. After all, the Dao Rivers in different eras contained different Daos. Especially since there was still a long time between the Beginner Martial Era and the Great Wu Era.

Most of the Dao that existed in the Beginner Martial Era had already disappeared in the long river of history. Now that his Dao was in the Dao River of the Beginner Martial Era, Xiao Shi couldn’t help but worry if his Dao would still appear in the Dao River of the Great Wu Era when he returned.

The Martial Ancestor nodded and said, “You don’t have to worry about that. As long as you can return successfully, the Dao you control will also enter your era. Furthermore, your Dao will become an ancient Dao.

“The longer any Dao in the world exists, the stronger the power of Dao. Even inferior-class mortal Dao will advance to superior-class mortal Dao and even Heavenly Dao after a long time. Time is also a way to advance. However, for martial artists, they don’t have so much lifespan to wait for their Dao to advance in the way of time.”

Xiao Shi was enlightened. In that case, as long as people from other eras could successfully master the Dao in the Beginner Martial Era and leave this place to return to their own era, his Dao would receive the enhancement brought about by time.

From there, it would become the Ancient Dao. This made Xiao Shi look forward to it.

“Now let me find your Dao first.” The Martial Progenitor’s eyes flickered. He stared seriously at the Dao River above. Because Xiao Shi’s Behind-the-scenes Dao had yet to take shape, it did not transform into a Dao Star and appear in the Dao River. However, the Martial Progenitor made a discovery among the light fragments near the Dao River. “Found it!”

He reached out to the Dao River above and absorbed it. He directly fished out an incomplete Dao Star from the Dao River..
