Chapter 789: In the primordial beginning, who transmitted the Dao?

Mi fell into deep thought.

Xiao Feng's words shattered her understanding of bloodline inheritance.

The Yuan Su Shen Yu has always believed that inheritance is the best. The ancients left behind countless great rules and powers for descendants to enjoy endlessly, to inherit and imitate.

No one has ever said that one can forge a new path with one's own wisdom!

Hearing such words today from the mouth of an adventurer with only lesser god strength……

In Mi's heart, she instinctively doubted it.

But she also felt that what the master said seemed right, and it made sense!

If everyone must inherit to become strong, where did the first generation of powerhouses who left the inheritance come from?

In the primordial beginning, who transmitted the Dao? With no form above or below, how could it be examined?

Rules are what beings observe in the cosmos, inductively summarized; they have always existed and never changed!

The War Ancestor might be the one who reached the end of war's rules, understanding everything related to combat.

But after the War Ancestor appeared, people could still comprehend the cosmic rules and feel the power of war.

Rather than being required to worship the War Ancestor and learn the war rules he grasped after comprehending the cosmos!

Rules cannot be taken away by those who have attained Enlightenment!

Attaining Enlightenment is like reading a book: the book is the author's summary of knowledge, not necessarily entirely correct, nor necessarily complete.

To fully trust a book is worse than having no book—that's the point!

"I think… I understand."

Mi closed her eyes, stood in place, and fell into deep thought.

Just before she closed her eyes, Xiao Feng saw a flash of light in her golden pupils.

This little girl seems to have had an awakening!

"At last, my tirade wasn't for nothing," he thought to himself.

What he just said was actually his own insight as well.

The Ninefold Heavenly Dao records myriad complex heavenly rules, but the skills taught to him are only three per level.

Why is that?

Isn't it to make him think actively and attain Enlightenment on his own?

The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao; the Ninefold Heavenly Dao is what the Nine Mysteries Venerable compiled after viewing the fragmentary Primordial World's Tenfold Heavenly Dao.

It can serve as a classic for later generations to inherit.

But it is absolutely not a 'standard answer'!

As a Heavenly Dao successor, the Nine Mysteries Venerable naturally understood this, so when leaving his legacy he did not write down all the heavenly rules he had comprehended.

but only left one

He left only a portion of the more important things, similar to a 'framework,' letting the successor explore and comprehend along that path.

The flesh that extends from the framework must be filled in by the successor himself!

If the Ninefold Heavenly Dao and the War Ancestor's 'drop of blood' were compared, the former would be a thought-provoking work that not only transmits knowledge but also leaves many questions, prompting continued reflection while studying.

The latter, however, is merely a specimen; what one can see from it depends entirely on personal fortune.

Flowers come in hundreds of thousands of varieties, butterflies in myriad colors.

If, based on a single flower or butterfly specimen, one thought all flowers and butterflies in the world looked alike, wouldn't that be absurd?

Mi was awakened by his words and began to reflect on the war rules she had previously encountered.

Xiao Feng did not urge her, waiting quietly beside her.

... Although it seemed a waste of time, he felt this was also his own exploration and discovery of the game world.

If Mi could truly overcome her predicament thanks to his words and find a new path, that would be a great thing; waiting a day or two would be worth it!

Hmm… if it takes longer… then forget it!

Da Bai tilted his head, looking at Xiao Feng, seemingly also affected by his words, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he quietly said, 'Brother, I didn't expect you to have any other talents besides bullying the Fairy Maidens of Wind Spirit Island!'

Xiao Feng's face darkened: 'If you can't speak well, say less—do you really have to praise me like that?'

"Hehe, I'm sincerely praising you this time. With just that bit of strength, you already have such insight; your future achievements are limitless—you truly are a Heavenly Dao successor!" Da Bai raised a wing, as if wanting to give a thumbs‑up.

But its wing was too clumsy, the pose awkward, making it look more like a salute.

Xiao Feng pursed his lips and mumbled, 'Mainly, I was more diligent in school…'

As for grasping laws and such, he had six of his seven apertures open—one remained closed.

Being able to chatter with Mi for half a day is purely because he has read many books, giving him greater cognition in philosophical thought and study.

So, reading is still important!

One person and one crane waited in the forest.

Occasionally, some god‑level wild monsters would pass by nearby.

But after sensing Mi's greater god aura on her, they all kept their distance and did not come looking for trouble.

Xiao Feng originally thought Mi's enlightenment would take a long time, requiring a long wait.

But after only about forty minutes, she opened her eyes.

Hum~

The air seemed to have something vibrating.

Mi's golden eyes emitted a gleam, like a small sun rising.

"War……"

She murmured softly, raising her head to gaze at the blue sky above the dense forest.

Rumble—

The air suddenly trembled, and the earth seemed to shake as well!

The wild beasts in the forest were all frightened, scattering and fleeing far away.

Even the birds in the woods were startled, scattering and flying away!

Xiao Feng's expression shifted slightly, sensing Mi's aura rising; though she was merely a tsundere female war goddess, she now seemed to grow somewhat "tall"!

In the high sky, invisible law power converged, forming a blurry figure among the clouds.

Xiao Feng looked up; that silhouette resembled a hunter—judging by the outline, he likely wore simple animal-skin clothes, carried a bow and a quiver on his back, and had a wood-chopping knife at his waist.

With the vibration of the law power, that golden phantom quickly dissolved, turning into specks of golden light that fell from the sky and gathered upon Mi's body.

"Is that... a phantom of the Dao Ancestor?"

Da Bai let out a shocked sound beside her.

"Dao Ancestor? Damn!"

Xiao Feng heard that and instantly felt a bit dazed.

He merely gave her a few words of advice, yet she ended up comprehending the rules on her own, even drawing down a phantom of the Dao Ancestor to aid her enlightenment?

This is way too strong!

"I'm really a genius!"

Xiao Feng immediately took credit for the merit.

Without him, could little Mi Mei have gotten this chance?

Obviously not!

So, rounding it off, that Dao Ancestor phantom was summoned by him!

Dao Ancestor, War Ancestor…

Xiao Feng secretly wondered, could that guy possibly be the master of the "drop of blood" inherited by the ancestors of the War God Kingdom?

The old ancestor of the Iron Armor War God turned out to be a leather-armored archer NPC?

This is such a mix-up!

Golden specks rained down, all falling into Mi's sea of mind.

She understood.

This time she truly grasped the power of the law!

When the tremors in the air ceased, her strength had increased considerably.

Mi slightly closed her eyes, retaining all those insights in her heart.

She then opened her eyes again, and her golden pupils returned to their original appearance.

She raised both hands, and the fierce full set on her hands suddenly detached from her body, floating upward.

Then, with the infusion of golden light, at a visible speed… it melted!
