Chapter 359: Chapter 193: Origin Unity, 1 Dao Unlocks 100
With barely a moment’s hesitation.
His figure transformed into a streak of Escape Light and shot toward the horizon at incredible speed.
At that very moment.
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion echoed.
Shrouded in a pillar of blood-red energy that shot toward the heavens, Montis abruptly rose into the air, hovering hundreds of yards from Wang Xiao.
He looked at Wang Xiao and narrowed his eyes.
"I never expected to find an expert like you among the Human Race. You’re merely a Venerable, yet your power far exceeds that of a Celestial Venerable. It seems you’re the one who killed Siming Kang of the Divine Race with a single arrow thirty years ago!"
"But as powerful as that arrow was, it couldn’t harm me."
"Heh heh... The sheer density of your lifeblood is truly tantalizing. Devouring you would be like devouring tens of millions of humans and Demon Beasts!"
Wang Xiao gazed at the demonic figure before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
[Analyzing...]
[Analysis successful.]
[Montis. Age: 75,700. Descendant Lineage: Demon Race, ranked third. Personality: Bloodthirsty and savage. Every ten days, he must devour at least one hundred thousand members of the Human and Demon Races to replenish his lifeblood and Origin.]
[At birth, he had already reached Foundation Establishment (Limit Breaking). Within a century, he became a Four-winged Demon (Venerable). Within a millennium, he became a Six-winged Demon (Celestial Venerable). He has also used the Celestial Observation Cauldron to fuse hundreds of Great Daos into one, with the Origin Great Dao as the core, creating his own Unparalleled Divine Techniques. The Inner World within his body is exceptionally resilient.]
[Current objective: To use the Power of the volcanic Earth Veins to further sense the location of the Heaven and Earth Consciousness.]
[Future Trajectory: He will find the Heaven and Earth Consciousness and attempt to refine it, but will fail and suffer a major blow to his Primordial Qi. After slaughtering Lin AhSan and the rest of the Demon Extermination Bureau, he will devour the entire Human and Demon Race populations of a province to recover his Primordial Qi, ultimately sparking the War of Demon Extermination.]
[During the War of Demon Extermination, he and Gongsun Yan will kill each other.]
Wang Xiao stared at the information, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He knew this future trajectory was one that did not involve him.
It wasn’t the true future.
Of course.
However, Wang Xiao wasn’t focused on Montis’s future.
Instead, he was focused on the method Montis used to evolve his Grotto Heaven.
He didn’t integrate the Great Daos into his Divine Palace one by one to form his Grotto Heaven.
Instead, he first fused the Great Daos and *then* integrated the unified result into his Divine Palace!
It was only a single-step difference.
But that one step made a world of difference.
If you integrate the Great Daos into the Divine Palace one by one, the Divine Palace quickly becomes saturated, making it impossible to integrate any more.
The Grotto Heaven created this way would be very small.
But by fusing the Great Daos *before* integrating them into the Divine Palace, the resulting Grotto Heaven would be far larger than one created by integrating them individually!
The larger the Grotto Heaven, the stronger the Grotto Heaven Power one can wield!
The power of one’s Divine Techniques would naturally be greater as well!
And when it comes time to refine a planet’s consciousness, you can contain more of it.
Upon achieving the state of a Tier Seven Life, your power would naturally be far greater.
It’s like throwing stones into mud.
Throwing them in one by one won’t make as big a crater as bundling them together and throwing them in all at once!
’Origin Unity... master one path, and you master them all. Interesting. Perhaps this is the best way to create a Grotto Heaven...’
A gleam flickered in Wang Xiao’s eyes.
Although the Cultivation Technique of this world was vastly different from his Martial Arts...
...their essence was still the same.
Both used the Great Dao as a foundation to establish a Grotto Heaven within the body.
The only difference was that the people of this world didn’t have the step of condensing a Dao Fruit.
’If I unify my Nine Great Origin Dao Fruits first and *then* evolve my Grotto Heaven, the result will surely be better than using each Origin Dao Fruit to catalyze its evolution one by one.’
’If I use the Origin Dao Fruits one by one, who knows what might go wrong with the resulting Grotto Heaven? It might even prevent me from fully merging my Inner World and Purple Mansion.’
’Besides, before achieving Origin Unity, I can use the Origin Great Dao to comprehend other Basic Great Daos, Natural Great Daos, and more. That would allow the Grotto Heaven I evolve to reach its absolute peak!’
Wang Xiao’s mind raced.
With the Nine Great Origin Paths as his foundation, comprehending other Basic and Natural Great Daos would become exceptionally simple.
It was a case of mastering one path to master them all.
If the Origin Great Dao was the root, then the Basic Great Daos were the stem, and the Natural Great Daos were the leaves.
Once you have the root, the stem and leaves will naturally follow.
It’s just like how comprehending the Material Great Dao is equivalent to comprehending the various Basic Great Daos of the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
’However, Origin Unity isn’t that simple. I’ll need the power of the Celestial Observation Cauldron. Otherwise, it could take an eternity. After all, each Origin contains immense energy. Fusing them into one is easier said than done!’
Wang Xiao let out a slow breath.
Even his Celestial Will Unity Arrow wasn’t a true form of Origin Unity.
It merely fused the Divine Techniques of the Nine Great Origins he had comprehended into a single arrow.
The Dao Charm of each individual Origin still existed independently within the attack!
These thoughts flashed through his mind in less than a hundred-millionth of a second.
Wang Xiao looked at Montis, his tone calm as he spoke.
"So what if one arrow couldn’t harm you? How do you know there won’t be a second?!"
The instant his words fell.
SWISH!
The Celestial Will Unity Arrow, which had just been shattered by Montis’s dazzling black light, reappeared from the Void.
Imbued with heaven-shaking lifeblood and Divine Will, it shot toward Montis.
The moment the arrow appeared...
...Time and Space seemed to cease to exist. It instantly appeared before Montis and shattered his protective black aura!
