Chapter 1301

These geniuses don't necessarily have high mastery over the Dao.

During breakthrough, if one cannot freely control several Daos to guide them in refining the Primordial Spirit or body in proper sequence, the result is only one.

One is that the forces of different Daos erupt in direct conflict, leaving the breakthrougher utterly unable to guide the Dao forces to refine their Primordial Spirit or body.

The other is that one must expend excessive mental focus to balance the different Daos, carefully guiding them bit by bit to refine the Primordial Spirit or body.

Doing so still offers a slight chance to complete the refinement of the Primordial Spirit or body.

It simply requires more time.

The heavenly tribulation does not wait; once time runs out, it descends immediately.

If full breakthrough is not achieved, the result is only one: death beneath the heavenly tribulation.

To break through and become a Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian holds almost no difficulty and virtually no chance of failure.

To achieve a better breakthrough into Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian, however, carries a significant risk of failure—and even the possibility of failure.

This "better" lies in saving time.

After breaking through to Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian, attempting to refine the Primordial Spirit or body using other Daos becomes vastly more difficult and requires far more time.

The more Daos one masters, the more time it takes.

This greatly slows the speed of one's power advancement.

For ordinary lifeforms, this is not a big deal.

They do not lack time; for them, the most important thing is breakthrough.

For geniuses, time is far more important.

The younger and the higher one's cultivation base, the stronger one's innate talent.

Innate talent can be exchanged for resources.

The stronger one's innate talent, the more resources one can obtain.

Compared to directly drawing multiple Daos to refine the Primordial Spirit or body during breakthrough, making up for it afterward takes far too long.

Most geniuses cannot endure such a prolonged time.

Besides saving time, the blessing of the Great Dao River is another crucial reason.

The stronger one's foundation and the more Daos one draws, the more the Great Dao River appears, the longer it lasts, and the greater the opportunities one gains.

Even for those prodigies, the Great Dao River's blessing—which appears only once during breakthrough—is an extremely precious opportunity.

Almost all geniuses do not wish to forfeit this opportunity.

Not only do they not wish to forfeit it, they also wish to obtain even more.

Simply wasting some time, some more cautious geniuses, after considering themselves, may choose stability.

After all, most people know that only by staying alive can one possess everything; death means nothing.

Of course, choosing stability is due to insufficient temptation; if the temptation is strong enough, unless one's personality is extremely risk-averse, all will choose to take the gamble.

Saving just a little time offers insufficient temptation for some cautious geniuses.

Time holds little meaning for Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian.

Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian possess nearly eternal lifespans.

No Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian has ever perished due to reaching the end of their lifespan.

Since they possess infinite lifespan, risking one's life merely to save a little time is not worth it.

But now, adding the Great Dao River's blessing changes everything.

The further one cultivates, the slower progress becomes; without corresponding resources or opportunities, most Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian remain trapped in the early to mid stages of Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian.

Only a portion of Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian can reach the peak.

As for the Dao level, even geniuses require sufficient resources and opportunities to break through.

Resources above the Hunyuan layer are exceedingly rare.

To acquire sufficient resources, even Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian must take risks.

Places where resources above the Hunyuan layer are born are typically extremely dangerous; even Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian who venture deep into them risk death.

When breaking through to Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian, the Great Dao River bestows Dao primordial essence.

This is a resource precious even to Dao-level experts.

Such a level of resource is not guaranteed even for prodigies and monsters.

The probability of failing to break through to Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian is not high; even when drawing multiple Daos, the chance of failure and death is quite small.

On one hand, it is a highly valuable resource; on the other, the failure probability is extremely low.

Most people, when faced with this situation, choose to take the gamble.

The Great Dao River's blessing appears only when breaking through to Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian.

Once breakthrough is complete, even if one immediately draws other Daos to refine the Primordial Spirit or body, one will no longer receive the Great Dao River's blessing.

This is why countless geniuses are forced to take the gamble.

For some geniuses, merely breaking through to Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian is not difficult.

Had the Great Dao River's blessing appeared only at the moment of becoming Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian, most would not need to take the gamble.

In a sense, the Great Dao River's blessing is the direct cause of many geniuses perishing during their breakthrough into Hunyuan Daluo Jin Xian.

Men die for wealth, birds die for food!

The struggle for resources has always been the primary cause of countless strong ones' deaths.

When breaking through, geniuses choose to draw more Daos because they understand the pattern of the Great Dao River's blessing.

Luo Fu only knew of the Great Dao River's blessing, not its pattern.

His acquisition of so much Great Dao River blessing was pure luck.

One must admit, Luo Fu is a man of great destiny.

Anyone who chooses a simpler breakthrough method, merely drawing upon one or a few Great Dao paths, would never receive the blessing of the Great Dao River lasting an entire month.

Whether simultaneously drawing upon the three thousand Great Dao paths, or breaking through both the Primordial Spirit and physical body at once, both strike at the pattern of the Great Dao River's blessing.

Just as drawing upon more Great Dao paths does, breaking through both the Primordial Spirit and physical body simultaneously also grants greater blessings from the Great Dao River.

If the Primordial Spirit and physical body break through one after the other, no additional blessing from the Great Dao River is granted.

Although Luo Fu did not know the pattern of the Great Dao River's blessing, he maximized its blessing through his own accumulation and great fortune.

This opportunity was greatly influenced by fortune.
