Chapter 82: Daemon-Devouring Dao
[After Bai Qi’s explanation, you finally understood how to measure the strength of a third-step expert. You couldn’t help but ask Bai Qi curiously, ‘What is a Sage?”
[When Bai Qi heard your question, he looked a little conflicted. However, he still opened his mouth to speak to you. When he killed quasi-Sage Xun Zi, he had once summoned the dharma idol of the Venerable Sage, Confucius. He had only taken a glance before he was seriously injured to death by that boundless Righteous Qi. Fortunately, the 12 Ancestral Shamans had acted together and saved him. He had taken a glance from afar and saw that the manifestation of the grand Dao behind Confucius was actually millions of meters long.
[You’re shocked. Bai Qi’s strength is definitely at the top of the third step. The manifestation of the great Dao of an existence like him is only 10,000 meters long, yet Confucius’ grand Dao was hundreds of thousands of meters long. What a terrifying great Dao!
[According to Bai Qi’s analysis, Confucious had created his own great Dao, namely Confucianism. All Confucian practitioners (scholars) could cultivate the same Dao together. Although everyone had their own understanding of Confucianism, in the end, their understanding of Confucianism would be fed back to Confucious, strengthening his great Dao.
[The same went for the other two religions. If they want to advance to the Sage rank, relying on their own efforts is not enough. They still need many disciples who cultivate this Dao.
[After saying that, Bai Qi asked you with a face full of surprise and joy, ‘Did you awaken the Dao of Slaughter?'”
[You were very confused, but you also summoned the great Dao you condensed.
[The manifestation of a great Dao that was only 50 meters long and carried the auras of various demonic beasts appeared in the air. The demonic beasts and daemons that you had once devoured had all turned into daemonic spirits and wandered in the great Dao. You could vaguely see the phantoms of Bi Fang and Ji Meng.
[Bai Qi could not help but frown after looking at your great Dao. From the strength of your great Dao, you, a third-step expert, can be said to be extremely below normal standards. Even the weakest third-step expert had a Dao manifestation that was at least 100 meters long in the beginning. Your 50-meter-long great Dao manifestation is also chaotic. It is likely that you will only be able to raise your Dao manifestation to less than 1,000 meters in your lifetime.
[You’re not disappointed at all. It’s just a simulation. Once you learn more, you’ll naturally be prepared next time.
[You and Bai Qi will once again drink and have fun in the tribe and talk about the past, the present, and the world…]
...
[On the 203rd day, Bai Qi personally invited Ancestor Gonggong to bestow you with the Ancestral Shaman’s blood essence.
[From now on, a great shamanic tribe has appeared in the land of the shamans, and their name is the Zhao Hao tribe.
[You tried many times to increase your cultivation base through cultivation techniques, but you suddenly discovered that even though your talent was heaven-defying, you were still unable to increase the length of the Dao manifestation by one meter.
[You were slightly disheartened, but you suddenly remembered that you still have a trump card that you had yet to use.]
...
[On the 205th day, you came to Feng Bo’s tribe and had a friendly conversation with him. After that, you requested to spar with Feng Bo, and he naturally agreed to it. You were defeated and returned with serious injuries all over your body. The Lucky Star talent’s effect was triggered.
[Defeat: 1]
...
[On the 209th day, because you had tested it before, the same opponent could not provide you with a continuous accumulation of defeat. You came to the Rain Master’s tribe and fought with him. You were heavily injured…
[Defeat: 2]
...
[On the 243rd day, you traveled to the far west and fought against many Great Shamans. You lost every battle.
[Your reputation is widely spread among the shamanic tribes, but because you are Bai Qi’s sworn brother, no one dares to mock you.
[You have fought a total of 23 times and accumulated 23 consecutive defeats.
[You returned to Bai Qi’s tribe and proposed to fight him. Even though Bai Qi did not understand why you did it, he still accepted your challenge. You were effortlessly beaten to a pulp…
[Defeat: 24]
...
[On the 253rd day, you rested for 10 days and 10 nights before you recovered. You found a Shaman General and easily defeated him, successfully opening the lucky bag of 24 consecutive defeats.
[The result didn’t surprise you. Instead, you were deeply disappointed. The accumulation of 24 consecutive defeats did indeed make your Dao manifestation grow, from the original 50 meters to 60 meters.
[After careful calculation, you’re afraid that you’ll have to challenge all the third-step experts in the world. After that, you’ll be rewarded. The final length of the Dao manifestation will probably not exceed 1,000 meters.
[You felt that the information collected this time was still enough, so you bade farewell to Bai Qi. Bai Qi also knew about your situation, so he didn’t stop you and accompanied you to the Jade Gate Pass.]
...
[On the 255th day, you went to the Jade Gate Pass with Bai Qi. Because you did not hide your aura, the entire Jade Gate Pass entered a defensive state. The city gates were closed, and rays of light from the formation quickly circulated on the city walls.
[The Jade Gate general, Chu Shanjun, hurriedly sent a message to the Western Chu Empire. “Great Shamans are attacking!”
[When you looked at the formation of Jade Gate Pass from afar, you actually felt a sense of danger.
[Bai Qi explained to you that this is a formation personally set up by a third-step Daoist.
“As long as you fall into the formation, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will be suppressed by a large level. The strength of the people in the formation will also increase by different degrees.
“If you want to break through this barrier, you will need at least one Ancestral Shaman to lead the way. Only by sending out 10 Great Shamans will you be able to break through it.”
[You’re greatly shocked. You never thought that the formation set up by a third-step Daoist would have such terrifying power.
[However, you didn’t hesitate at all. You bade farewell to Bai Qi and soared into the sky, heading straight for the Jade Gate Pass formation. Bai Qi just watched you silently as you flew in, not stopping you at all.
[A world-shaking battle soon erupted. You were suppressed by a large level, but you were also a third-step expert. Your strength and divine abilities were incomparably terrifying. You killed many of the Jade Gate cultivators. The Jade Gate guards raised Chu Shanjun’s strength to the third step. His attacks were shocking, intending to kill you. The two of you erupted into a great battle. In the end, you ended the great battle with your self-detonation.
[You’re dead.]
[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]
[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 255 days. System Cooldown Time: 255 minutes.]
“I really didn’t expect that there would be so many things to take note of from the second to the third step…”
Zhao Hao’s eyes slightly narrowed. From the fact that it was extremely difficult to advance on his Dao and that his growth potential was extremely limited, it could be seen that entering the third step required extremely careful consideration. At the very least, he had to choose a Dao with extremely strong potential for growth.
Although he had made a muddle-headed breakthrough to the third step by devouring daemons, he fell to the bottom. His potential had been exhausted, and he had become the trashiest third-step expert.
