Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1721 Chapter 435: Extreme Dao True Transmission, Foundation Surpassing_2
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
A sudden realization dawned on Li Hao as he pondered. Since the Chaos Immortal Emperor had forged the Chaos Heavenly Dao List using the power of the Heavenly Dao itself, it was highly probable that he possessed complete knowledge of every individual ranked upon it.
"This..."
Li Hao rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. He couldn't exactly admit that his hesitation stemmed from a fear of progressing too rapidly and drawing unwanted attention, could he?
Now that he understood the Chaos Heavenly Dao List held no secrets from the Immortal Emperor, he felt a surge of relief that he hadn't hurried his breakthrough to the fifth stage of Chaos Dao.
"Your defeat in the Dao field can be viewed as hitting a bottleneck. Given that your previous comprehension of Chaos Power was truly remarkable, my original plan was to let you focus on that first. I intended to wait until you reached this limit before imparting my true teachings. Now that you have arrived at this stage, the time has come to pass my true mastery on to you."
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor spoke with a calm, steady voice.
Startled by the revelation, Li Hao finally grasped the reason behind his master's summons.
The true teachings?
Curiosity and excitement danced in his eyes, which began to sparkle with anticipation.
Observing Li Hao’s reaction, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor couldn't suppress a light chuckle. He detected no trace of bitterness in the boy's gaze. Had his Dao heart been weaker, two decades of being in the Sect without receiving specific instruction might have bred resentment. Instead, the youth looked as though he had just discovered a hidden treasure, showing he had never harbored such negative thoughts.
"Every Immortal Emperor carves out their own unique Emperor Road."
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor offered a faint smile. "My path diverges from those of Chaos and Original. Disciples within the Chaos Sect practice the Chaos Refining God Skill. This technique allows them to condense the immortal power in their bodies into a liquid form, which, when merged with Chaos Power, allows for the cultivation of the Chaos Taoist Body! Furthermore, they can infuse their Primordial Spirit with a shard of Chaos Power, granting it superior destructive capabilities compared to others at the same level!"
Li Hao’s eyes narrowed instantly. This mastery sounded incredibly potent, bearing a resemblance to the immortal body he had developed himself. However, while his own method integrated the Primordial Spirit and physical form more deeply, his Primordial Spirit lacked the infusion of Chaos Power.
"On the other hand, the disciples of the Original Immortal Emperor train in the Great Annihilation Skill. Once they master it, they can command the primordial annihilation laws. These are unique laws birthed by the Original Immortal Emperor himself. They aren't part of the standard 23 Chaos Laws; rather, they are the primordial annihilation Chaos Laws forged after the refinement of 24 Chaos Laws!"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor continued his explanation.
Li Hao was struck with profound shock upon hearing those words.
It was his very first time hearing that someone had successfully refined 24 Chaos Laws!
Noticing Li Hao’s stunned silence, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor remained composed. "Shi Miao likely mentioned the Chaotic Stars to you. Long ago, there were 72 Chaotic Stars here, which together were capable of refining 24 Chaos Laws!"
"If one manages to fuse those 24 Chaos Laws into a single entity, it becomes the Chaos Infinite Law!"
"If the Chaos Laws represent the Extreme Realm of the Monarch Realm, then the Chaos Infinite Law signifies its Final Realm!"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor spoke deliberately. "After refining the Chaos Infinite Law, one can transmute the strength of those 24 laws into a singular, peerless Chaos Law that cannot be refined by others. Its potency far outstrips the standard 24 Chaos Laws. Should one reach Great Accomplishment in this, their combat strength will equal the combined power of refining all 24 laws!"
Li Hao felt his soul tremble. Was refining 24 Chaos Laws truly the ultimate goal?
To think someone had actually achieved such a feat—the title of Immortal Emperor was truly well-deserved!
"Then, by practicing the Great Annihilation Skill in the Original Land, isn't that like bypassing the need to understand the Chaotic Stars and refining individual laws? One would jump straight to the stage of refining laws! Once mastered, wouldn't their power dwarf everyone else in the same realm?"
Li Hao could not help but voice his thoughts.
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor gave a slight nod. "Precisely. If a disciple of the Original Land trains under a master for three centuries, their combat prowess will lead the way! While others are still struggling to comprehend the Chaotic Stars, those practicing the Great Annihilation Skill—even at the entry level—will already possess power rivaling refined laws. They can easily overwhelm any peers at the same stage of cultivation!"
Li Hao marvelled internally. That was terrifying. Within that same three-hundred-year window, while others were just beginning to grasp their first refined law, these disciples would already be wielding techniques of that caliber!
"In terms of the early stages of cultivation, the Original Land sees the fastest growth in battle power!"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor said slowly. "However, by the mid-stages, the disciples of the Chaos Immortal Emperor begin to close the gap. Once the Chaos Refining God Skill is fully realized, both their Primordial Spirit and Chaos Taoist Body become nightmarish forces within their realm."
Li Hao looked at his master with growing expectation. What about you, Master?
Sensing Li Hao's curiosity, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor smiled. "Though my title is Dao Origin, the path I tread is the Extreme Dao!"
He turned to Li Hao and explained, "What is the Extreme Dao? It is the Dao one pursues only after reaching the absolute peak!"
"To put it simply, one must reach the ultimate limit to even be qualified to practice my Dao and draw out its true potential. Consequently, those who study under me may seem mediocre in the early stages and merely average in the middle. But once you reach the ultimate level and pair it with my Extreme Dao, you will be undeniably peerless among those in your realm!"
As he spoke, a flicker of pride crossed the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor’s features.
Li Hao inquired, "Master, are you saying that I must first refine all 23 Chaos Laws before I can begin this cultivation?"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor shook his head. "You can begin your cultivation now. What I meant was that to unleash its full, overwhelming power, one must reach the ultimate—not just the 23 laws, but all 24 Chaos Laws!"
He looked directly at Li Hao. "Given your current state, you are ready to cultivate this Dao. This supreme mastery is known as 'Infinite'!"
"Infinite?"
Li Hao’s heart skipped a beat.
"Indeed. Infinite consists of five distinct layers. To master even the first two layers while in the Monarch Realm is to stand at the very apex of existence!"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor continued, "The requirement for beginning the first layer is, at the very least, reaching the stage of refining Chaos Laws!"
