Chapter 1113 - Divine Dao Three Realms
If it was this reason, then did those Deity Realm powerhouses leave the Divine Realm because of this?
But where did they go to?
Could it be that there was still another expanse outside of this Divine Realm?
Countless questions hovered in Ye Yuan's mind, unable to dispel them.
The queries left behind by the disappearance of Deity Realm powerhouses were truly too many.
The more one investigated, the greater the enigma discovered.
"I had once heard people say before that at present, the Divine Realm's Heavenly Dao is deficient. Senior, I wonder if there is any method that can resolve this predicament?" Ye Yuan asked.
"Deity realms aren't gods! Deity Realm is just a form of address. Even if they are Origin Deity Realm powerhouses, it's impossible to truly take control of Heavenly Dao as well. One can only say that they are able to borrow even higher-level power of laws, that's all. Since Divine Dao laws are already gone, nobody is capable of changing this outcome. Unless, you can find the missing Heavenly Dao!" the mysterious powerhouse said.
Ye Yuan's gaze flickered. He fell into rumination himself.
If finding back the missing Heavenly Dao was the only method to break through to the Deity Realm.
Then his Dao Defying Pill was probably unable to let him break through to the Deity Realm either.
But if he admitted defeat like this, Ye Yuan was unwilling.
"Heh, Junior, don't have wishful thinking! As long as there is a trace of means, those Deity Realm powerhouses would not possibly all disappear in the Divine Realm too. Since they disappeared, that means that they were helpless to do anything and could only choose to leave!"
The mysterious powerhouse naturally perceived Ye Yuan's unwillingness. But how was Ye Yuan the only one who could not accept it? The others felt the same way too.
Something that even Deity Realm powerhouses were unable to solve, how could a measly little Dao Profound Realm martial artist possibly accomplish it?
Ye Yuan did not refute the mysterious powerhouse's words. He then asked, "Senior, can you tell me about matters of the Deity Realm?"
Seeing Ye Yuan's appearance, the mysterious powerhouse knew that he did not give up hope.
However, he did not refuse Ye Yuan and opened his mouth to say, "Divine Dao Three Realms can be categorised into Grotto Profound Deity Realm, Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm, and Origin Deity Realm! Essence, Energy, and Spirit, fusing all into one, mystic qi flooding the body, gaining insight into Great Dao, that is Grotto Profound Deity Realm. Great Dao connecting to the heavens, inferring some aspect from a peek, glimpsing a corner of Heavenly Dao, that is Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. The end point of Dao, myriad life returning to their origins, drawing transcendent Heavenly Dao for their own use, that is Origin Deity Realm! Divine Dao Three Realms, each realm's span is tremendous. The vast majority of people can only stop at Grotto Profound. In the ancient era, the fiend race rose up. Countless human geniuses corroborated their Dao and became deities. But those capable of reaching Origin Deity Realm were only three people!"
Ye Yuan listened by the side, his thoughts surging like the tide.
Such a secret, the people who knew about it in the Divine Realm were probably already scanty few.
Only at this time did he know that above Deity Realm, there were still three major realms.
Deity Realm was also just another beginning.
The mysterious powerhouse spoke rather detailedly and talked about his understanding towards Deity Realm for Ye Yuan to listen.
Deity Realm powerhouses had already glimpsed the source of Great Dao. Every movement and action secretly encompassed laws.
If Dao Profound powerhouses only had a fuzzy perception toward the power of laws, then Deity Realm powerhouses were able to draw powers of law for their own use.
The disparity in between this could not be measured with distance!
Even the lowest rank Grotto Profound Deity Realm was also capable of borrowing Divine Dao laws to easily eliminate Divine King Realm powerhouses.
These Divine Dao laws were even able to be inscribed by Deity Realm powerhouses, creating divine inscriptions.
"Many thanks for Senior's teachings! This Ye has gleaned considerable gains! It's just until now, Ye Yuan still doesn't know who Senior is, and what relation Senior has with the ancient Heaven One Sect?" Ye Yuan clasped his hands and asked.
The mysterious powerhouse said, "I am a Black Tortoise Divine Beast under Daoist Absolute Heaven's command, Skydistant, also the ancient Heaven One Sect's sect-protecting divine beast."
"Black Tortoise Divine Beast!" Ye Yuan's shock was by no means insignificant. He did not think that this Bloodrain Wilderness's seventh level actually sealed a genuine divine beast!
For 100 thousand years, true divine beasts had already become legends.
At present, the bloodlines of those so-called divine beasts in the Divine Realm actually became increasingly thin.
Even as powerful as the Azure Dragon Clan could not escape this fate either.
But now, Ye Yuan actually met with a living divine beast. How could he not be astonished?
"Since Senior is Heaven One Sect's sect-protecting divine beast, why would you be sealed in this place?" Ye Yuan asked.
When Skydistant heard Ye Yuan's words, a wave of foul air suddenly erupted, and he said with a cold snort, "It was all that insidious Zuo Zong! Truly deserve to die!"
Mentioning this Zuo Zong, Skydistant truly gnashed his teeth in hatred. Clearly, he hated him to the extreme.
Turned out that this Zuo Zong was also one of the three great Origin powerhouses back then. It was just that his strength was much weaker compared to Absolute Heaven.
The human and fiend, two races' war, the Yu Soul Sect that Zuo Zong was in showed up for work but did not exert themselves, causing the human race to fall into passivity at one time.
If not for Absolute Heaven and the other human race leader fighting the fiend race to the death, the human race would have long become extinct.
Later on, the war subsided, and the human race had a pyrrhic victory. Absolute Heaven and the other human race leader passed away one after another. This Zuo Zong became the number one person in the world.
Therefore, Zuo Zong led the sect's disciples and charged up to the Heaven One Sect together.
This Bloodrain Wilderness was originally Heaven One Sect's medicine garden but was directly connected to the Yu Soul Sect by Zuo Zong with great magical ability.
Zuo Zong, at that time, was truly incomparably mighty. He divided the space where the Bloodrain Wilderness was at into seven layers, and he sealed it layer by layer. He then suppressed Skydistant at the bottom-most section.
The Heaven One Sect at that time actually still had some Deity Realm powerhouses. But compared to Zuo Zong, they were far too lacking.
The strength of an Origin powerhouse was completely not what ordinary people could estimate.
"Heh heh, Absolute Heaven only turned a blind eye to Zuo Zong's actions for the human race's overall situation at that time. But Zuo Zong probably never dreamed that Absolute Heaven had long left behind a big meal for him, just waiting for him to attack the Heaven One Sect."
Talking up to here, Skydistant was truly incomparably delighted.
He knew that Zuo Zong was severely wounded by the contingency plan that Absolute Heaven left behind. Not long after, he perished too.
Hearing these stories from way back, he felt his mind rattled too. He endlessly admired Absolute Heaven's actions.
Humans were like that. Normally when together, they would engage in petty intrigue and try to get the better of each other. But whenever a crisis happened, there would always be righteous people coming forward.
Absolute Heaven was like that, and Fang Tian was similarly like so.
But what made Ye Yuan surprised was that the present Holy City was actually the descendant of the Yu Soul Sect one million yea
rs ago!
Indeed descended from the same lineage. Even the filthy manner was passed down perfectly.
Ye Yuan sneered coldly in his heart.
"Oh, right, Senior said previously that the Vast Heaven Stele and Evil Extermination Sword had another way of using. I wonder if … you can impart the method to me?" Ye Yuan said.
He currently d.e.s.i.r.ed strength and hoped to become stronger.
Regardless of whether it was in order to kill Ji Canglan or suppress the fiend race, his current strength was far from enough.
Just as Skydistant said, if these two kinds of divine objects were unable to unleash the strength that they should have, then it was truly a wanton waste of God's good gifts in his hands.
Skydistant said, "Of course! As you said, the burden on your body is likely even heavier compared to Absolute Heaven! The Holy Mother Devil Flower and Kanuo coming into being at the same time, even if Heavenly Dao is deficient, they are still able to use Divine Dao laws under Deity Realm! This way, their advantage is even greater instead!
[0] Seems like there is a differentiation between great Dao and heavenly Dao. Because of that, they will be capitalised: Great Dao, Heavenly Dao, including Divine Dao, starting from this chapter. This includes Sword Dao, Alchemy Dao, and so on; but not sword path or path of the sword. Son of Heaven's Mandate will also be capitalised.
Chapter 1114 - Tranquility Results in Distance!
Divine Dao laws were not laws that only Deity Realm powerhouses used.
One should say that Divine Dao laws were power of laws that only Deity Realm powerhouses could comprehend.
Dao Profound powerhouses, their life had not made a transition yet and were completely unable to touch the true source power.
But, ever since Deity Realm powerhouses created divine inscriptions and recorded down power of laws in the form of the golden characters, all of this became a possibility.
Although divine inscriptions were unable to truly depict source power, it used a shallow method to express the fleeting and ephemeral source of Great Dao.
And this gave Dao Profound martial artists the chance to comprehend the source of Great Dao.
Even though the comprehension of divine inscriptions was very difficult too, compared to genuine Great Dao source, it was much simpler.
Of course, powerhouses like Skydistant and Holy Mother Devil Flower they all were originally Deity Realm powerhouses and comprehended the source of Great Dao in the first place. Using Divine Dao laws was naturally nothing difficult.
Furthermore, their comprehension toward the Heavenly Dao was bound to be much deeper compared to a Dao Profound martial artist like Ye Yuan.
For Skydistant to be able to send the three great kings flying in one move, this in itself ill.u.s.trated many things.
"The reason why divine artifacts are powerful is naturally because they are deployed with the powers of Divine Dao. Each divine artifact is inscribed with extremely profound power of laws. Only by stimulating the power of laws, can one unleash a divine artifact's greatest might," Skydistant said.
When Ye Yuan heard, he felt deeply ashamed too.
All along, his way of using divine artifacts was like a nouveau riche.
Although pouring in divine essence could unleash a portion of a divine essence's ability, without corresponding powers of law to unleash it, the power was still very limited.
Ye Yuan unwittingly recalled the White Tiger Clan's Heaven Imprisoning Spirit Locking Flask back then. That power compared to when he used it was simply a disparity of heaven and earth.
Thinking about it now, it should be this reason.
"Senior, then how should one trigger the powers of law inside the Evil Extermination Divine Sword?" Ye Yuan asked.
"Divine artifacts have a spirit. Grasp hold of the Evil Extermination Divine Sword. When you produce a resonance with it, you'll naturally understand," Skydistant said.
Ye Yuan froze and blurted out, "Just that simple?"
"Simple? Heh heh, although the Evil Extermination Divine Sword acknowledged you as its master, with your cultivation realm, wanting to reach the level of resonating with it is difficult. It will likely be hard to even enter the rudiments without ten or eight years of effort," Skydistant said mockingly.
One was a divine artifact, while the other was a mortal.
For the two to want to reach the extent of resonating, how could it be that easy?
When Skydistant was ridiculing, Ye Yuan reached his hand out and grabbed the Evil Extermination Divine Sword.
To Ye Yuan, the Evil Extermination Divine Sword was merely a sharp weapon, used to storm and break enemy lines.
Ever since acquiring it, Ye Yuan had never really thought before that the divine sword still had so many secrets. He also did not even try to examine the Evil Extermination Divine Sword.
Under Heaven Man Unity Heart Realm, Ye Yuan's state of mind became incomparably tranquil.
But when Skydistant saw this scene, he smiled and said, "This brat. Does he really think that divine artifacts are so easy to grasp? To Dao Profound Realm martial artists, wanting to reach a resonance with divine artifacts is even harder than ascending to the heavens."
Ye Yuan held the sword hilt with one hand, the other supporting the sword body from below, and sat with crossed legs, entering an empty state.
Unknowingly, a mysterious power of law started winding around Ye Yuan.
Skydistant said in alarm, "This … This is Divine Dao law! This brat actually already comprehended a Divine Dao law! Furthermore, it's even the extremely profound divine soul law! Truly inconceivable!"
Ye Yuan sunk his entire mind into the Evil Extermination Divine Sword, attempting to find that trace of resonance.
But he discovered to his dismay that this was really not that easy of a thing.
Ye Yuan felt like he had arrived inside a vast expanse of the universe by himself. It was easier said than done than wanting to search for that trace of resonance inside this universe.
No wonder Skydistant said that without ten or eight years of work, even entering the door was hard.
From Ye Yuan's view, Skydistant's way of saying was likely still somewhat conservative.
Losing one's self inside this universe, one might even be unable to find that trace of resonance for all their lives.
"What in the world is this resonance? How can one arouse the Evil Extermination Divine Sword's resonance?"
Ye Yuan discovered that he really thought things too simple!
He thought that since the Evil Extermination Divine Sword took the initiative to acknowledge him as master, finding the resonance should be something easily accomplished.
But now, Ye Yuan sunk his mind inside it and discovered that he completely could not obtain a trace of the divine sword's response.
Seemed like it acknowledging him as its master was merely just because he was the Son of Heaven's Mandate. Or perhaps, it was merely because he possessed the Vast Heaven Stele.
Wanting to obtain the divine sword's acknowledgment was completely not such an easy thing, let alone producing a resonance with it.
One had to know that the divine sword's previous owner was a peerless powerhouse, the likes of Absolute Heaven. Its view was naturally incomparably critical.
Wanting to obtain its recognition was indeed not an easy matter.
If one did not have any extraordinary aspect, they could probably forget about ever producing a resonance with it.
"Seems like I have to do a little something before I can obtain the divine sword's recognition!" Ye Yuan thought to himself.
Thinking this through, Ye Yuan's state of mind calmed down instead.
In this word, there was no baseless love, and also no groundless hatred.
Since the divine sword had a spirit, it naturally would not acknowledge a stranger without rhyme or reason, and it produced a resonance with him.
During this period of time, Ye Yuan had indeed neglected the divine sword's feelings, merely treatin
g it as a sharp tool.
Even he himself did not acknowledge the divine sword, on what basis should the divine sword acknowledge him?
Therefore, that was how Skydistant was able to call it away so easily.
Because, to the divine sword, the relationship between Skydistant and it was even a little more cordial compared to Ye Yuan, its owner.
Perhaps it was because of his profession, Ye Yuan's attitude towards weapons was far from comparable to medicinal cauldrons.
With this communication, it was five days and nights.
In the five days, Ye Yuan did not move a muscle. He was attempting to understanding Evil Extermination bit by bit, getting Evil Extermination's recognition.
However, Evil Extermination still did not have any stirring.
Ye Yuan was still seemingly situated inside the universe, all alone by himself.
Skydistant did not interrupt Ye Yuan. He just watched him quietly like this.
Skydistant knew that Ye Yuan would ultimately still end in failure.
"Heh heh, although this brat's soul force is very strong, it should also pretty much reach the limits already, right? Communicating with a divine artifact, being able to do it to this extent, it is already very impressive," Skydistant said coolly.
The Deity Realm was another level. Even if it was a divine artifact, it was extremely taxing on the mind for Dao Profound Realm martial artists to communicate with it too.
For ordinary martial artists, being able to communicate with Evil Extermination for a day and night like this was most likely somewhat biting off more than they could chew.
For Ye Yuan to be able to communicate for five days and nights in one go, it was already several times that of an average person.
Skydistant could sense that Ye Yuan's soul force consumption was already right about there too.
But right at this time, Skydistant's pair of eyes suddenly constricted, as if he saw something inconceivable.
"This … How is this possible?" Skydistant exclaimed in shock.
Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his state of mind like an old well without ripples as he said indifferently, "A simple life shows high goals in life, tranquility leads to distance, I … understand!"
