321: The extreme number nine!

At this moment, Ji Changkong also looked at the vast starry sky of Great Daos with anticipation.

He recalled the words his clan elder had told him before he set off.

The true opportunity of the Black Pagoda was the fourth stage opportunity, where he would be able to see the legendary 'Abyss'.

To obtain the true Black Pagoda opportunity, he had to pass the talent level test on the ninth floor.

That test standard was set by the 'Abyss'!

He had been the favored son of the Ji family since he was young, hailed by the world as a rare prodigy, seen only once in a hundred thousand years.

Since the fall of their ancestor, the Ji family had been on a decline, with their clan resources even coveted by various super- power (forces).

After Ji Changkong was chosen as a seed, the Ji family poured everything into cultivating him, treating him as the hope of the Ji family.

In his world, there were only two goals: cultivation and bringing glory to the Ji family!

And he lived up to expectations, becoming a leading figure among his peers in the Tiangang Star Domain!

During this trip to the Black Pagoda, he made rapid progress, reaching the Great Emperor Realm Ninth Stage.

If he were to return to the Tiangang Star Domain with this Realm, he could be considered a hegemon of a region.

However, it was not enough!

The pressure on the Ji family was too great!

He had to become stronger!

“I must pass the talent level test!”

Ji Changkong looked at Lin Chen and smiled:

“Brother Lin Chen, the opportunity is hidden within these 3000 Great Dao stars. Let's go.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes burst with a sharp gleam. He nodded slightly, then his body directly soared into the air.

He chose a Great Dao star that he had not yet comprehended.

Seeing this, Ji Changkong also chose a star and went towards it.

After Lin Chen entered the star, he discovered that the Great Dao here was actually the Great Dao of Illusion!

The star was not large, only comparable to the main world of a Great World.

On this star, there were countless illusionary regions, just like the illusionary training regions in the Origin Chamber.

However, the illusions here were exceptionally terrifying.

Lin Chen felt that in some areas, even with his true spirit Realm at the Great Emperor Realm Ninth Stage, he would get lost... Within the star, dense profound meanings of the Great Dao of Illusion filled every space, and these profound meanings of the Great Dao were also extremely profound!

Lin Chen's spirits lifted with a slight sense.

This scene, filled with profound meanings of the Great Dao, was very similar to when he used the system to add points for improvement!

Comprehending the Great Dao in such an illusionary environment would surely be very fast!

“But besides this, I haven't seen any clues...”

“My Taiyi Great Dao is already perfectly integrated; it's impossible to add new Great Daos.”

“Old Lei also said before that for the three grades of Great Daos—upper, middle, and lower—choosing 9 types from each grade is a limit.”

“Adding the three grades together makes 27 types, which is also recognized as the strongest path!”

“But what Ji Changkong said, there are also Great Daos that surpass the Ultimate Level Great Dao...”

Lin Chen's brows furrowed slightly. He observed the profound meanings of the Great Dao of Illusion for a long time and found it quite normal, merely accelerating his comprehension of the profound meanings of the Great Dao of Illusion.

Four days later.

Lin Chen comprehended the profound meanings of the Great Dao on the star of the Great Dao of Illusion.

With his eternal level of comprehension, in just four days, he had already mastered the Great Dao of Illusion at the Dao Realm level.

This was actually the peak, because to continue improving, he would need to create his own Great Dao.

That is, to extract the profound meanings of the Great Dao from the Great Dao of Illusion that fit him, and then continuously refine and create... At this point, it would involve the level of creating a Great Dao.

Suddenly, Lin Chen thought of something.

“Could Old Lei's statement, 'nine is the extreme,' also be interpreted as nine types of Ultimate Level Great Dao!”

“There are 3000 types of Great Daos in this Great Dao space, with many Great Daos of all three grades.”

“Right, let me check the system.”

Lin Chen looked at the system panel, and saw that the Great Dao column, which originally had over 1000 Great Daos, now showed 3000 Great Daos!

Many Great Daos had a comprehension level of 0%, while the Great Dao of Illusion was 100% (Basic).

“Basic?”

“This 'basic' should be the Great Dao at the Dao Realm level; going further up should be the Great Dao at the Origin level...”

Lin Chen discovered that the system had also categorized the newly appeared Great Daos according to their grades.

For example, the Great Dao of Illusion he was currently comprehending was an Upper Grade Great Dao.

“There are 81 Upper Grade Great Daos?”

“That's exactly the extreme number of 9!”

Lin Chen's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered some extraordinary secret.

“If calculated this way, I can still comprehend 8 more types of Ultimate Level Great Dao!”

“Adding my original Taiyi Great Dao, that makes exactly 9 types, and each Ultimate Level Great Dao needs to integrate 9 Upper Grade Great Daos, which is also just enough!”

Lin Chen now understood; this was very likely the true Great Dao opportunity!

“But what happens after comprehending 9 types of Ultimate Level Great Dao?”

“Do I need to fuse these 9 types of Ultimate Level Great Dao?”

Lin Chen's mind raced. He found that even the system did not have an option for fusing Ultimate Level Great Dao.

“No, I can first deduce all the Ultimate Level Great Dao, and then use the system's Great Dao Millstone to fuse the 9 types of Ultimate Level Great Dao together!”

The Taiyi Great Dao was previously deduced with the help of the system's Great Dao Millstone... “I’ll know if I try. Anyway, comprehending these Great Daos here is as fast as using system points, and I only need to comprehend the Great Daos at the Dao Realm level!”

The next moment, Lin Chen's thoughts stirred, and he summoned all his clones.

To create 8 types of Ultimate Level Great Dao, he needed to comprehend 216 new Great Daos.

He needed to comprehend 72 Great Daos from each of the three grades.

There were 81 Upper Grade Great Daos, so there was no need to choose; all of them had to be comprehended.

For example, the Great Dao of Illusion, the Great Dao of Runes, the Great Dao of Formations, the Great Dao of Dreams, the Great Dao of Artifacts... As for the Middle Grade and Lower Grade Great Daos, there were many, and Lin Chen needed to choose carefully.

One day later, Lin Chen had finalized all the Great Daos.

His main body and clones began to travel to various Great Dao stars to comprehend.

With his comprehension ability, he could comprehend a Great Dao to the Dao Realm perfect level in three or four days.

Lin Chen's grand-scale comprehension of the Great Daos was naturally discovered by the other trial-takers.

They all complained to themselves.

“What is that fiend doing again? Why do I have a sense of déjà vu? He was like this during the last physical body opportunity too, letting his clones comprehend bloodline inscriptions in large quantities...”

“Hmph, can bloodline power be the same as these Great Daos? I think he's just never seen so many Great Daos and wants to master more.”

“However, in just five years, at most he can comprehend these Great Daos to the Dao Realm level. What good is that?”

“I think he's just wasting his efforts. Don't mind him, be careful not to be targeted by that fiend... He's here!”

These trial-takers were all secretly transmitting their voices with their true spirits. Their fear of Lin Chen had deeply rooted in their bones. At this moment, when they saw one of Lin Chen's clones arrive, they all fell silent.

Lin Chen's clone glanced at everyone indifferently, a cold sneer in his heart.

“Once I'm done, I'll come back and thoroughly plunder them...”

“After this Great Dao opportunity, these trial-takers will all return home. There won't be such a good opportunity again.”

Just then, Ji Changkong's voice rang in Lin Chen's ear, with a hint of excitement.

“Brother Lin Chen, have you discovered something?”

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and then stated his deduction.

This Ji Changkong seemed like a decent person for now, so telling him was no harm.

After all, trying to create 8 types of Ultimate Level Great Dao within five years was too difficult.

Moreover, once outside the Black Pagoda, there wouldn't be so many Great Daos available for comprehension... “What?”

“9 types of Ultimate Level Great Dao? Is this really feasible?”

Ji Changkong replied in shock, as what Lin Chen said was too unbelievable.

One must know that the difficulty of creating even one type of Ultimate Level Great Dao was heaven-defying.

Creating 9 types?

And within five years!

He felt that he simply couldn't do it.

Moreover, with these five years, he could completely raise his own Great Dao to the limit of the Great Emperor Realm, or even break through the shackles to reach the half-step Eternal level!

Ji Changkong only thought for a moment before overturning Lin Chen's astonishing deduction.

He chose to continue improving his Great Emperor Realm's Creation Level Great Dao... Lin Chen didn't say anything about this.

After all, he was only deducing.

Even if he missed this opportunity, it didn't matter. He now had many clones, and in the future, he could quickly improve his comprehension of the Creation Level Taiyi Great Dao.
