Chapter 1146: The Key to Unlocking the Tian Dao

Such a world is not perfect, with immense flaws.

It must rely on a Tian Dao-level powerhouse to maintain its existence over the long term.

Once a Tian Dao-level powerhouse perishes, over time, such a Hun Yuan world will quickly collapse entirely.

Compared to a true Hun Yuan world, such a Hun Yuan world contains fewer Great Dao principles and thus its own Tian Dao is incomplete.

Unless manipulated by a Tian Dao-level powerhouse, it is utterly impossible to resist a Tian Dao-level powerhouse.

Another point: only the dependents of Tian Dao-level powerhouses and cultivators who cultivate the same Great Dao can survive in such a Hun Yuan world.

All other Great Dao cultivators, upon falling into such a Hun Yuan world, will suffer absolute suppression—even a Hun Yuan Da Luo Jinxian will be directly cast down to the mortal realm.

Pangu is a half-step Great Dao-level powerhouse, but his primary cultivation is the Great Dao of Force.

Although he has reached the half-step Great Dao level and can generate myriad Dao principles from one, compiling the Three Thousand Great Daos is no simple task.

With Pangu's violent method of creation, forging a Hun Yuan world is by no means an easy feat.

Pangu was able to carve out the Primordial World largely thanks to the Tian Dao Jade Disc.

For this reason, the Tian Dao Jade Disc is extremely vital to the Primordial World.

The Tian Dao of the Primordial World was born from the Three Thousand Great Daos.

And the Three Thousand Great Daos were compiled based on the Tian Dao Jade Disc as a blueprint.

In a certain sense, the Tian Dao Jade Disc is a key—a key that can unlock the Tian Dao.

It is through this key that Ancestor Hongjun was able to slowly devour the entire Tian Dao without being rejected by it.

For Ancestor Hongjun, the importance of the Tian Dao Jade Disc surpasses all else.

Without the Tian Dao Jade Disc, Ancestor Hongjun would likely have long since left the Primordial World, just like many reincarnated Chaos Gods and Demons.

Of course, the Tian Dao Jade Disc is no longer as crucial to Ancestor Hongjun as it once was.

When Ancestor Hongjun seized the vast majority of the Tian Dao's authority, the Tian Dao Jade Disc lost its function.

After all, the Tian Dao Jade Disc is merely a key.

The greatest function of a key is to open a door.

When Ancestor Hongjun no longer needed the Tian Dao Jade Disc to open the door, its importance naturally declined.

But it declined—it did not lose all utility.

Even if the Tian Dao Jade Disc no longer needs to serve as a key, it itself possesses immense value.

Strictly speaking, the Tian Dao Jade Disc is somewhat similar to the Chaos Pearl.

Both belong to world-type spiritual treasures, each containing the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The only difference is that within the Chaos Pearl, the Three Thousand Great Daos are unified as one; though they have not formed a world, they have formed a Chaos space, allowing the Chaos Pearl to ascend into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

The Tian Dao Jade Disc merely records the Three Thousand Great Daos, containing only Dao resonance and possessing no great power.

From the perspective of Dao comprehension, the Tian Dao Jade Disc can certainly be classified as a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Many auxiliary Chaos Spiritual Treasures lack even the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Yet the Tian Dao Jade Disc's own power is weak, merely equivalent to a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

Thus, the Tian Dao Jade Disc can only be considered half a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

However, whether the Tian Dao Jade Disc can manifest its full power depends on who wields it.

If a Saint wields it, the Tian Dao Jade Disc is indeed only equivalent to a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

After all, a Saint's magic power is limited and cannot activate the Three Thousand Great Daos.

In the hands of a Tian Dao-level powerhouse, the Tian Dao Jade Disc can unleash the power of a half-step Chaos Spiritual Treasure—far stronger than ordinary Primordial Supreme Treasures, yet significantly weaker than true Chaos Spiritual Treasures.

The Three Thousand Great Daos within the Tian Dao Jade Disc cannot unite; they cannot unleash the true power of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

In Ancestor Hongjun's hands, the Tian Dao Jade Disc can surpass its own inherent power.

Because Ancestor Hongjun is the controller of the Tian Dao—he can mobilize Tian Dao power and also command the Three Thousand Great Daos.

As long as the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World are infused into the Tian Dao Jade Disc, the Tian Dao Jade Disc can unify them and unleash the power of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

The Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World were themselves compiled based on the Tian Dao Jade Disc as a blueprint; combining its own Three Thousand Great Daos with those of the Primordial World presents virtually no difficulty for the Tian Dao Jade Disc.

Whoosh!

Vast amounts of Tian Dao power continuously flooded into the Tian Dao Jade Disc.

Tian Dao power is also a necessary condition for the Tian Dao Jade Disc to unleash its true power.

After all, the Tian Dao Jade Disc itself cannot store much power.

Immediately afterward, the Three Thousand Great Daos appeared one by one and were infused into the Tian Dao Jade Disc by Ancestor Hongjun.

In an instant, the Three Thousand Great Daos upon the Tian Dao Jade Disc interconnected and fused completely into one.

The entire Tian Dao Jade Disc instantly turned chaotic-colored, and the aura of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure was released without restraint.

Unlike the Chaos Pearl's subtlety, the Tian Dao Jade Disc showed no concealment whatsoever, flaunting its power without restraint.

"This is the Tian Dao Jade Disc—I never expected it to also be a Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Even Master possesses a Chaos Spiritual Treasure."

When the Tian Dao Jade Disc revealed its aura, Pangu's Flag within Master Yuanshi's body began vibrating uncontrollably.

It was an instinctive suppression triggered by a spiritual treasure—by a higher-grade spiritual treasure.

At the level of Primordial Supreme Treasures and Chaos Spiritual Treasures, a higher-grade treasure can easily suppress a lower-grade one.

Primordial Supreme Treasures can suppress Primordial Spiritual Treasures—even top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures must submit to Primordial Supreme Treasures.

Of course, the suppression of Primordial Spiritual Treasures by Primordial Supreme Treasures is not very obvious.

Primordial Spiritual Treasures lack sufficient sentience and cannot sense suppression from higher-grade spiritual treasures.

The suppression of Primordial Supreme Treasures by Chaos Spiritual Treasures, however, is extremely obvious.

Primordial Supreme Treasures possess considerable intelligence; encountering a higher-grade Chaos Spiritual Treasure—even sensing just a trace of its aura—will be suppressed.

This suppression is like higher-bloodline power suppressing lower-bloodline power.

Previously, when Luo Fu summoned the Chaos Pearl, the Supreme Sage and others did not feel their primordial supreme treasures being suppressed because Luo Fu deliberately concealed the Chaos Pearl's aura.

Otherwise, the Supreme Sage and others would have guessed that the Chaos Pearl was the legendary Chaos Sacred Treasure.

Even now, the Chaos Pearl has not yet revealed its true aura as a Chaos Sacred Treasure.

Not only Master Yuanshi, but also the Supreme Sage and Pingxin Niangniang felt the vibration of their primordial supreme treasures within them.
