188: The Great Dao

Dao Child…

Not long after, Wu Tian Ce found Wu Ning and handed him a spatial Magic Treasure, which contained five Emperor-grade Rule Crystals and the corpse of that Immortal Emperor creature.

Wu Ning glanced at it and lost interest. "You guys keep these things for yourselves. You don't need to give them to me."

With his current Cultivation, hunting Immortal Emperor creatures was as easy as flipping his hand, and these things were no longer useful to him.

He paused, then added, "Hmm, you can give three Rule Crystals to Wu Siqi and the other two. As for the rest, you can handle them as you see fit."

Wu Tian Ce was a bit confused.

These were Emperor-grade Rule Crystals and the corpse of an Immortal Emperor creature, things that even Immortal Emperor powerhouses would covet. Yet, the Dao Child didn't want any of them?

This was too extravagant, simply inhumanly wealthy!

"Dao Child… are you serious? Why don't you reconsider?"

"No need, take them all."

Wu Ning waved his hand indifferently.

"Alright then."

Wu Tian Ce left with a complex feeling.

"Life is truly as lonely as snow…"

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Wu Ning took in the entire Taichu Ancient City with a glance, and couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

He was now completely on a different level of existence from the myriad beings in this city.

Afterward, Wu Ning returned to the main hall and opened his System personal panel:

...

Upon reaching the Dao Lord Realm, one follows the path of evolving and perfecting one's own Origin Great Dao, and there were originally no specific minor Realm divisions.

However, as one's Origin Great Dao continuously evolves and perfects, the strength between Dao Lords will also show a vast difference.

Therefore, people later divided Dao Lords into three different Ranks based on the maximum range their own Origin Great Dao could cover.

Firstly, the range that a Dao Lord's own Origin Great Dao can encompass is called the "Great Dao Divine Domain."

Within the Divine Domain, a Dao Lord can freely control the Great Dao, and even modify Great Dao rules, just like the master of the Great Dao.

For example, within the Time Divine Domain, a Dao Lord can freely control the Time Great Dao that envelops this heaven and earth, performing operations such as time acceleration, deceleration, stagnation, reversal, and even forming time loops.

It's like controlling a video.

Even Immortal Emperor powerhouses within this heaven and earth would be like Mortals, completely unable to resist.

After all, an Immortal Emperor only presides over the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, like a judge enforcing laws, they must act according to the law.

A Dao Lord, on the other hand, is the sole law-maker, capable of modifying laws. Within their jurisdiction (Divine Domain), they can change it however they wish.

Within the Domain, like a god, this is the Great Dao Divine Domain!

And the three Ranks of Dao Lords are actually divided based on the size of the Great Dao Divine Domain.

If the Divine Domain can encompass a Minor Thousand Worlds, it is a Minor Extreme.

If it can encompass a Middle Thousand Worlds, it is a Middle Extreme.

If it can encompass a Major Thousand Worlds, it is a Major Extreme.

Wu Ning is currently in the initial stage of the Minor Extreme.

Don't think that the Divine Domain of a Minor Extreme is small. One must know that a Minor Thousand Worlds is not a Small World. To be called a Minor Thousand Worlds, its diameter must be at least one hundred billion light-years.

The largest can even reach one trillion light-years.

This is absolutely an extremely vast range.

And the difference in Divine Domain from Minor Extreme to Middle Extreme, and Middle Extreme to Major Extreme, is trillions of times, so one can imagine how difficult the promotion is.

Wu Ning even felt that his journey on the Dao seemed to have just begun.

"110502 times…"

He glanced at the remaining sign-in attempts, only a little over one hundred and ten thousand, which was about three hundred years' worth.

This was because he had used over two hundred annual sign-ins during his promotion to gain more sign-in Cultivation, which allowed him to successfully advance to Dao Lord Realm.

Before, he had thought it was simple, but the difficulty of advancing to Dao Lord Realm far exceeded his expectations, not to mention he advanced his Physical Body and Divine Soul simultaneously, making the difficulty even greater.

Wu Ning did not intend to easily use these remaining one hundred and ten thousand sign-in Opportunities. With his current strength, annual sign-ins had a negligible effect on him.

Unless it was in some extremely special places.

He planned to save them all and use a single millennium sign-in directly in the future.

Closing the personal panel, Wu Ning took out his supreme order, released a wisp of Divine Thought, and his consciousness was immediately drawn into the control center of the Virtual God Realm.

"Hello, esteemed Controller Adult!"

Within the ancient bronze hall, Xu Ling immediately appeared before Wu Ning's Incarnation of consciousness.

Wu Ning nodded slightly and asked, "In these past few centuries, have any other Controllers visited?"

"Adult, besides you, the last visit of the other three Controllers was 1.3 billion years ago."

"…Alright."

1.3 billion years, truly a long time scale, Wu Ning couldn't help but click his tongue.

It was conceivable that the other three Controllers were likely super old monsters who had lived for tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of years!

Wu Ning didn't ask further and walked directly towards the depths of the ancient hall.

After advancing to Dao Lord Realm, he intended to try again to see if he could decipher the Great Dao runes on those golden obelisks.

However, he soon frowned.

The last time he came, it was like a primary school student reading a math Ph.D. thesis, completely incomprehensible.

And now, he was at a university student level…

Alright, he could finally understand some symbols.

Wu Ning, refusing to believe it, directly sat cross-legged in front of the nearest golden obelisk and began to comprehend the densely packed Great Dao runes on it.

Days passed one by one.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Wu Ning remained seated in front of the obelisk, comprehending, completely motionless.

One day, he quietly opened his eyes, a glint flashing in them.

"It can actually promote the rapid evolution of the Origin Great Dao!"

Wu Ning murmured in surprise.

The Great Dao runes on this obelisk seemed to be the most fundamental Great Dao rules. Comprehending these runes was like directly comprehending the root of the Great Dao, and the speed was tens of millions of times faster than his own Cultivation!

Moreover, on these tens of thousands of obelisks, almost all Great Daos in the world were included.

If he could fully comprehend the Great Dao runes on these obelisks, his understanding of the Great Dao would probably reach an extremely terrifying Realm!

Wu Ning's heart immediately grew fervent, and his eyes glowed as he looked at all the obelisks.

Perhaps, these golden obelisks were the greatest Opportunity in the entire All Heavens Battlefield!

Wu Ning took a deep breath, cast aside distracting thoughts, and quickly immersed himself in comprehension once again.
