Chapter 2241

Fu Xi shook his head: "Dao Ancestors who prove the Dao through multiple paths are exceedingly rare in the universe. My nineteen-layered method is still mostly short of perfection; only one Great Dao has truly reached perfection. Of course, this does not mean that methods incapable of becoming a Dao Ancestor are worthless—no one knows how far an untrodden path can go; we merely weigh the known information. If you encounter a law unknown to anyone, whether to contemplate it further depends on your own judgment."

Xiao Feng seemed to have realized something.

The nineteen-layered method of Patriarch Fu Xi—for example, the Wind of Xun he taught to Han Que—is one that has not reached the Dao Ancestor realm.

The Wind Dao, even if cultivated to perfection, may not become a Dao Ancestor, because it is not an original law but merely an ordinary one among many energy laws.

But it is also a direct path to the eternal Great Dao!

How few Dao Ancestors are there in the universe?

Who dares to say they will surely reach that step?

What Patriarch Fu Xi told him was merely a reminder: within the paths he has already mastered, choose the one he is best at and that can go the farthest as his main direction—that is enough.

As for how far one can ultimately go, that depends on one's effort and later opportunities.

Use limited energy to gain as much return as possible.

This is the principle Patriarch Fu Xi told him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Patriarch!" Xiao Feng expressed his thanks again.

His mind gradually settled; before attaining the "Transformation of the Dao" in the Dao of All Things, he would ignore all other laws!

To comprehend the Dao Ancestor realm all at once is a bit exaggerated; he hasn't swollen to that extent.

First pursue the Transformation of the Dao, then slowly pursue its limit.

When progress later becomes slow,

, then switch to another path to update what's in his mind; referencing each Great Dao against the others might help the Dao of All Things take a new step.

In short, everything is for the path of the Dao Ancestor!

Only, it's unknown how many years this process will take.

"Father, the hegemony struggle in the virtual world has officially begun; do you and the other Dao Ancestors have any orders to issue?"

Feng Feng Shi, seeing the two had finished speaking, then asked.

Patriarch Fu Xi replied: "The war game is overseen by Yi. The competition among the younger generations of each tribe is not convenient for us to intervene; we should only bestow rewards after it ends."

This tone is not absolute; obviously, if an unexpected situation arises—such as another tribe's Primordial Ancestor intervening—they will not stand by idly.

Feng Feng Shi looked at Xiao Feng and said: "Father, do you think Xiao Feng should participate in the war or not?"

This question is also what Xiao Feng wants to know!

He looked at Patriarch Fu Xi.

All he heard the patriarch reply: "Each tribe has several Controllers entering the field; Xiao Feng originally grew up in the virtual universe, so if he wishes to participate, the Dao Ancestors of all tribes dare not object. However… you still need to weigh the pros and cons yourself."

The last sentence was directed at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng felt moved.

Weighing the pros and cons does not refer to whether his participation would provoke dissatisfaction from the foreign tribe's Dao Ancestors.

But rather about his merit.

If he participates, his merit will inevitably be the greatest; if he ultimately wins, the opportunity to make a wish will be for his own use—he cannot wish for someone else to become a Controller, only to grant others some lesser benefits.

Therefore, if he wants Jiang Ning to receive that benefit, he must not be too conspicuous; the past few years have already been brilliant enough, and in the following nine years or more, he must let Jiang Ning continually achieve merit,

surpass his battle results, and secure the final victory.

Only then can the "benefit" be maximized!

Feng Feng Shi did not know these things; hearing this, she said: "Also true, he is only in his twenties, still basically a child."

Then she asked again: "Speaking of which… Xiao Feng's breakthrough to this level in such a short time is also inseparable from the Dao Ancestor's intervention. Would such a matter cause the foreign tribe's Primordial Ancestors to bear a grudge?"

Patriarch Fu Xi gave a light smile: "Even if they bear a grudge, if they have the ability they too can find a junior who can swiftly forge the Controller realm without leaving future troubles."

Feng Feng Shi could not help but gasp.

Xiao Feng was also somewhat surprised, feeling as if he had been favored beyond expectation.

Patriarch Fu Xi's tone actually seemed rather proud?

Xiao Feng's ability to break through so quickly mainly has three reasons.

First, Chen Jie beat him up, helping him absorb a vast amount of cosmic energy, prompting his genes to evolve rapidly and reach the peak of the extraordinary.

Just this step alone equals nearly a hundred years of arduous cultivation for an ordinary person. Even with Xiao Feng's own aptitude, wanting to cultivate to the extraordinary peak would still require at least twenty or thirty years.

The second reason is the various opportunities within the virtual world that have fostered the robust growth of his willpower.

He has seen too many experts and experienced the power of laws far beyond his own realm; thus his resolve is far more tenacious than that of his peers, and he has early honed his mental energy to the level of being able to multitask.

With these two foundations, entering the Controller realm naturally becomes much easier.

However, the most important point still lies in his own aptitude!

If his innate aptitude is insufficient, even if he accumulates enough external force to break through into the Controller realm, he will leave behind great hidden dangers, causing him to stall forever and unable to advance even an inch.

Even if his aptitude is absolute

excellent, after undergoing the process of forcing growth, it will also damage the foundation, possibly affecting his prospects.

But Xiao Feng will not!

His hidden innate aptitude directly ignores the deep harm caused by forcing growth; plus, the Lord of Time personally accelerated time for him—these actions, which for others would be tantamount to self-destruction, here proceed naturally and completely without any side effects.

Even if the foreign tribe's Dao Ancestors know where Xiao Feng's abilities come from, they cannot replicate his experience; they can only sigh in helplessness.

"In these ten years, the Dao Ancestors' gaze will often fall upon the virtual universe, selecting those of outstanding aptitude. In a few more years, the conflicts of the virtual world may even reflect reality; those genius juniors might perhaps meet on the domain battlefield. The strife of the great cosmos never ceases; remember not to be arrogant and complacent—before becoming Dao Ancestors, you must not relax. Even after becoming Dao Ancestors, you are far from the endpoint; higher still lies another world, possibly even more than one." Patriarch Fu Xi said to the two.

Cultivation knows no bounds; even Dao Ancestors are not the strongest, let alone them.

Xiao Feng's entry into the Controller realm counts as having taken a step, but many steps remain ahead.

Feng Feng Shi, having re-cultivated for one lifetime, has only just begun; she is far behind by a great margin.

"Father, if there is war with the aquatic civilization, please allow me to go to the front lines!" Speaking of war, Feng Feng Shi seemed to have some idea, with a glint of battle intent in her eyes.

In the game world, she does not harbor much hostility toward the aquatic civilization.

That's because those water tribe players were too weak; she didn't even bother with them.

She had once been an Eternal-level Controller, the opponents she faced were all Venerable-level existences in the game, and in fact they were compared to the Venerable

the Venerable are much stronger.

Fu Xi nodded upon hearing this and said: "Good, I will let you go then, but you must first raise your strength."

"I will not disappoint my father!" Feng Feng Shi's fighting spirit soared.

Xiao Feng, however, was filled with astonishment.
