Chapter 662: Opening the Path of the Dao Lord

"If the drawbacks were merely this, many Immortal Kings would still practice it."

"After all, this Immortal Technique is so useful that it is enough to tempt many Immortal Kings."

The Great Thousand World Mirror continued to ask.

Although practicing this avatar technique does indeed cause one's combat power to be weak.

Yet this Immortal Technique is truly a supreme Immortal Technique, a supreme path leading to a Dao Lord.

After all, once one fully comprehends all laws, one can become a Dao Lord in an instant.

Even if one is the weakest Immortal King, so what?

If one breaks through, then one will tower above countless Immortal Kings.

Facing such a Tongtian path, it felt that not many Immortal Kings could resist the temptation within.

Moreover, the life-saving ability of this Immortal Technique is also extremely strong.

This makes the many Immortal Kings have even fewer worries.

"That is indeed the case, so it has a second drawback."

"That is, it will cause memory confusion, thereby turning one into a madman."

"Because the amount of information and knowledge an Immortal King can contain is limited."

"It is impossible to contain information infinitely."

"If too many avatars are nurtured, these avatars also perceive many law-related messages."

"Once these law-related messages are transmitted back to the original body, the original body simply cannot bear such massive information."

"Many Immortal Kings in history were like this, which led to the confusion of their Soul and memories, and in the end, they were actually assimilated by the Great Dao, becoming Daoization Monsters, and completely becoming madmen."

"So as time passed, many Immortal Kings completely banned this Immortal Technique, calling it a Jinjie zhi Shu."

"This is not a Tongtian path, but a road of no return."

Immortal King Taiyi sighed.

Although the avatar technique is indeed infinitely profound and points directly to the essence of the Great Dao, and can be called one of the strongest auxiliary secret arts, no Immortal King can withstand the side effects of this Immortal Technique.

Once one starts practicing, one cannot stop.

Even if one practices to the end and perceives many law-related messages.

The ending is still a dead end; all will become madmen, and some will even be assimilated by the Great Dao.

This is a profound lesson bought with the lives of countless predecessors.

Even if there are those in later generations who do not believe in evil, the result is still the same, never changing.

"No way, if this is the case, then how could Immortal King Xuanhuang succeed?"

"Nurturing so many avatars, wouldn't that cause memory conflicts and Soul overload?"

The Great Thousand World Mirror also realized the danger of this Immortal Technique.

Of course, if one did not intend to perceive laws when performing this Immortal Technique, there would not be much risk.

The problem is, having already practiced this Immortal Technique, how could one not want to go further?

Even if one did not want to at the beginning, as time passed, one would find that one's cultivation could no longer progress.

At this time, one would likely be completely shaken and still want to give it a try.

As a result, once one tries, one will completely step onto a road of no return.

"I think Immortal King Xuanhuang must have also known the drawbacks of this Immortal Technique, but practiced it anyway."

"More importantly, the other party actually succeeded."

"And he is the first Immortal King to succeed in countless years; it is truly inconceivable."

"So I dare to be certain that Immortal King Xuanhuang must have a special constitution."

"One that is extremely compatible with this Immortal Technique."

"That is why there were no side effects, thereby allowing his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds."

"Undoubtedly, this is also the only anomaly born in this Universe in countless years."

Immortal King Taiyi said decisively, stating his guess about Immortal King Xuanhuang: he must have a special constitution.

"A special constitution?"

"Just like the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart of the Zhu Immortal King, does Immortal King Xuanhuang also have a similar constitution?"

"So the other party is extremely compatible with the avatar technique, can nurture countless avatars, and perceive laws simultaneously?"

"If that is truly the case, I am afraid this is a path that only Immortal King Xuanhuang is compatible with."

The Great Thousand World Mirror could not help but nod in agreement.

It certainly also knew that in this Universe, geniuses with different constitutions are always born.

Even these special constitutions are unique.

In the long passage of time, there might only be one such example.

And it is impossible for a second one to be born; even through inheritance, it cannot be passed down.

It is just like the Zhu Immortal King.

His Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart is basically something no second person can possess.

This also created the unique Zhu Immortal King.

So it is very normal for Immortal King Xuanhuang to possess a special constitution; there is nothing strange about it.

"Wait, now I seem to understand a little why Immortal King Xuanhuang's cultivation is so fast."

"I am afraid that from the very beginning, this person was already extremely proficient in the avatar technique."

"And according to rumors, this person is simply an all-around genius; skills such as Pill, Artifact, Array, and Talisman have all reached the pinnacle of the world, and all kinds of abilities are beyond imagination and completely incomprehensible."

"Now it seems that the reason Immortal King Xuanhuang could become an all-around genius is likely due to the avatar technique, being able to manifest thousands of incarnations and learn all kinds of knowledge simultaneously."

"That is why such an anomaly as Immortal King Xuanhuang could be created."

The Great Thousand World Mirror seemed to recall something, and said with a sudden realization.

It felt that all the incredible rumors about Immortal King Xuanhuang previously were verified at this very moment.

It could only be said that its Master, Immortal King Taiyi, was indeed meticulous and possessed wisdom as vast as the sea.

Merely by knowing some intelligence, he had already grasped many of the secrets of Immortal King Xuanhuang.

If it were itself, even if it knew so much intelligence, it would still be completely confused.

It felt even more admiration for Immortal King Taiyi.

If it could also obtain some opportunities, it felt that its Master could also become a Half-step Dao Lord.

Perhaps even touching upon the Dao Lord Realm was not impossible.

"That's right, it is indeed a one-of-a-kind existence."

"The rise of every Immortal King is extremely unique, and can be called legendary."

"To be able to become the first Half-step Dao Lord in history, is it really as simple as one imagines?"

"However, this is also a great thing for our Universe."

"If not for the appearance of Immortal King Xuanhuang, we would never have been able to recover so much lost territory."

"Without a doubt, the other party is the savior of this Universe of ours."

Immortal King Taiyi sighed with emotion.

Originally, he also wanted to know the method by which Immortal King Xuanhuang could become a Half-step Dao Lord, but since it involved the use of an avatar technique, it was not a path he could imitate.

To imitate it rashly would only be stepping onto a dead end, completely devoid of any meaning.

But this was also a very normal thing.

After all, this was becoming a Dao Lord; every path should be unique, something that no predecessor had ever done before.

And it must be extremely compatible with one's own aptitude and comprehension.

The path of Immortal King Xuanhuang was not his own path.

But he could also see some mysteries of breaking through to Dao Lord from it.

For him, this could also be considered of great benefit and a significant harvest.

"However, besides those demon gods, I'm afraid there are some special places in the Hell Plane, right?"

Immortal King Taiyi continued to ask.

He instinctively felt that Immortal King Xuanhuang would not do these meaningless things.

The significance of the Hell Plane was likely more profound than imagined.

"That's right, there are indeed some very special places."

"Immortal King Xuanhuang capturing these Souls into Diyu to be imprisoned is not just to solve the problem of evil ghosts in the present world."

"After those evil ghosts enter Diyu, they will be subjected to various harsh tortures to wash away the sins upon them."

"Once the sins on them are completely repaid, then they can undergo Samsara."

"I am afraid this is the most important significance of Diyu."

The Great Thousand World Mirror explained.

This was also the conclusion it had reached after secretly observing the Hell Plane for countless years.

The more it observed the Hell Plane, the more it understood the formidable aspects of these Hell Planes.

Now, many Hell Planes have actually become the core of this Universe.

Their importance far surpasses other places.

"Samsara? What does this mean?"

"Could it be that these Souls can live another life?"

Immortal King Taiyi's eyes revealed a glimmer of light.

"From a certain perspective, it cannot be considered living another life."

"Because every Soul needs to cleanse all the memories on itself before it can undergo Samsara."

"Having lost the memories of the previous life, it is actually no different from being dead."

"To be honest, I also don't understand what the significance of Immortal King Xuanhuang doing these things is."

"Is it just doing useless work?"

The Great Thousand World Mirror felt very puzzled.

It felt that even if Immortal King Xuanhuang did not need to do this, this Universe could still continuously give birth to Souls.

There was no need for the existence of Diyu at all for this Universe to nurture countless living beings.

From a certain perspective, it was simply redundant.

"No, no, no, this is not useless work."

"Immortal King Xuanhuang's move is unfathomable; this is playing a grand game of chess."

"Although the Universe can indeed nurture countless Souls, these Souls are all too weak."

"Unless these Souls undergo cultivation, they can only grow stronger step by step to become immortals."

"But the Souls that enter the Hell Plane and then undergo Samsara are different."

"Because they originate from original Souls, they are naturally stronger than newly born Souls."

"Once reincarnation is successful, the talent possessed by such an infant will surely be beyond that of ordinary people."

"In other words, in the future, this Universe will also give birth to countless geniuses."

"The future will be an unprecedented great era."

"The geniuses nurtured within it are simply not something we can imagine now."

Immortal King Taiyi's eyes revealed a glimmer of light; he realized that the place of reincarnation in Diyu was extremely profound, conforming to the Reincarnation Law of the Universe, while simultaneously promoting the development of the entire Universe.

Without a doubt, the birth of the Diyu Plane was simply mandated by destiny.

Once the Diyu reincarnation was completely stabilized, it would become the core of this Universe.

It might even become the fundamental law of this Universe.

Countless Souls throughout the entire Universe would enter the place of Diyu reincarnation, thereby undergoing cycle after cycle of Samsara.

"Master, do you mean that the purpose of Immortal King Xuanhuang's actions is to create countless geniuses for the entire Universe?"

"But doing this is probably even more foolish."

"The appearance of so many geniuses is actually more disadvantageous for the Universe."

"After all, the entire Universe looks large, but resources are actually limited."

"If a large number of geniuses emerge, it might lead to a shortage of per capita resources in the Universe."

"The appearance of these geniuses might even threaten Immortal King Xuanhuang's position."

"This is simply making a rope to hang oneself."

The Great Thousand World Mirror still felt that the gains did not outweigh the losses in doing so.

For Immortal King Xuanhuang, he was already an invincible figure; why would he need to help others advance further?

If a genius at the Dao Lord level were truly born, wouldn't that threaten his own position and life?

"No, no, no, things are not as simple as you imagine."

"Although Immortal King Xuanhuang is indeed an anomaly with astonishing talent, capable of becoming a Half-step Dao Lord."

"But I estimate that Immortal King Xuanhuang still lacks a bit of confidence regarding whether he can become a Dao Lord."

"This is also understandable; the gap between an Immortal King and a Dao Lord is like a chasm."

"No one in this Universe has ever stepped into the Dao Lord level, and no one can provide any experience."

"Therefore, in order to increase the probability of success, Immortal King Xuanhuang naturally needs to make many preparations and arrangements in advance."

"One of these methods is likely the Great Luck Art."

Immortal King Taiyi clenched his fist and stated his speculation.

"Great Luck Art?"

"Master, do you mean that Immortal King Xuanhuang wants to gather the Luck of the entire Universe to increase his probability of ascending to Dao Lord?"

The Great Thousand World Mirror's heart stirred, and it instantly understood its Master's meaning.

It felt that if this were the case, it was not an impossible matter.

"That's right, that is exactly what I mean."

"The Luck of the entire Universe is not immutable."

"Especially the Luck of the myriad races of the heavens; sometimes it is incomparably vast, and sometimes it is incomparably weak."

"If one can nurture a large population while also nurturing countless geniuses, then the Luck of each race can be imagined—it must be unimaginably vast."

"Immortal King Xuanhuang wants to use the power of the Diyu reincarnation place to increase the Luck of the myriad races of the heavens."

"In this way, as the Heavenly Emperor, Immortal King Xuanhuang can naturally enjoy infinite Luck."

"It is equivalent to gathering the Luck of billions of races onto himself."

"When Immortal King Xuanhuang breaks through to become a Dao Lord, with countless Luck added to his body, he will likely be invincible at that time, gaining the blessing of the entire Universe's Luck; it would be hard to fail."

Immortal King Taiyi sighed with emotion.

He could only say that this junior was indeed terrifying.

Even though his talent had already reached a terrifying level, he was never arrogant.

He still used various methods in secret to increase his chances of success.

If it were an ordinary prodigy, they would likely be full of confidence, feeling that they could break through without any external assistance.

Little did they know, external force is also a type of power.

If one can utilize external force, one can make one's success twice as effective with half the effort.

Why not do so?

You must know, this is life, this is the future; it does not allow for the slightest bit of luck.

Once failure occurs, it is the end of death and the dissipation of the Soul.

Therefore, no matter how cautious one is, it is only right and proper.

"Master, hearing you say this, Immortal King Xuanhuang has truly made many preparations in order to become a Dao Lord."

"If even Immortal King Xuanhuang fails, I fear no one will be able to succeed."

The Great Thousand World Mirror did not know what else to say; it was completely convinced.

"That's right, I am very much looking forward to the appearance of the first Dao Lord of this Universe."

"Perhaps it can open up an unprecedented path for us Immortal Kings."

Immortal King Taiyi said with great anticipation.
