Chapter 1197: Three Thousand Great Daos (First update, requesting everything)
As a direct descendant of the Xuan Emperor and a key subject of cultivation, Yan Wanling understood the Xuan Emperor better than ordinary clansmen, even knowing some secrets related to the Xuan Emperor.
Among these were the Xuan Emperor's Demon Pets, Secret Techniques, secret arts, Demon Taming Arts, and Strange Treasures.
With this information, Li Zhangsheng's understanding of the Xuan Emperor was no longer as one-sided as before.
Previously, Li Zhangsheng's understanding of the Xuan Emperor basically came from the Baisheng King, but the Baisheng King only understood the Xuan Emperor before she became a Ninth-Rank Demon Tamer; furthermore, over a hundred years had passed, so how could the Xuan Emperor remain unchanged?
Although the information Yan Wanling brought about the Xuan Emperor included some outdated history, most of it was the latest news.
From this information, Li Zhangsheng learned that the Xuan Emperor had one, and only one, Emperor-rank Demon Pet, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Of course, it was also possible that the Xuan Emperor had hidden her strength.
It must be said that the Xuan Emperor practiced the Taishang Heartless Demon Taming Art, which was a Top-tier Demon Taming Art second only to the Zhou Tian Star Dou and Du Tian Divine Evil. It was rumored that after practicing this Demon Taming Art, one's seven emotions and six desires would become increasingly weak, and upon reaching the pinnacle, one would become truly heartless.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the Xuan Emperor could disregard familial affection and resolutely scheme against Yan Wanling.
As for the Xuan Emperor's Strange Treasures, Yan Wanling only knew of two: one was the Queen Mother Mirror, and the other was the Nest of Radiance; both were treasures the Xuan Emperor had obtained from the Ancient Xuan Queen.
Yan Wanling was not clear about the Xuan Emperor's Dao-Achieving Item, only having inadvertently heard that the Xuan Emperor's Dao-Achieving Item belonged to a combination-type treasure; as for whether it was true or false, that was hard to say.
Finally, there was the composition of the Xuan Emperor's power; besides the empire she controlled, the entire Northern Region was under her control.
In addition, her influence had already radiated to the bordering Northeast and Northwest Regions.
The Central Region also bordered the Northern Region, but unfortunately, the Central Region was the home turf of the Human Emperor, and the Xuan Emperor knew her influence did not match the Human Emperor's, so naturally, she was not foolish enough to clash head-on.
After gaining a preliminary understanding of the Xuan Emperor, Li Zhangsheng took out the Jade Fragment he had just obtained.
The Seeking Dao Jade Pendant rushed out from his Consciousness Sea and began to fuse with the Jade Fragment.
Soon, a larger Seeking Dao Jade Pendant appeared, emitting mysterious radiance.
Under the illumination of the radiance, Li Zhangsheng only felt his mind clear, and his thinking ability was greatly improved.
From the feedback of his Mental Power, the fused Seeking Dao Jade Pendant had initially stepped into the Zifu Qizhen level.
After retracting the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, Li Zhangsheng sensed it and discovered that his comprehension had doubled on its original foundation.
Besides this, the sensing range of the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant had increased tenfold.
Most importantly, the messy and complex text within the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant had become orderly and organized.
Of course, much of the content was still missing.
"Three Thousand Great Daos?"
After roughly finishing reading this content, Li Zhangsheng was completely stunned.
There were a total of three thousand Great Daos in the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, but according to Li Zhangsheng's understanding, the Great Daos mentioned here reached the same destination as the rules but stood above the rules, appearing to be the product of understanding the rules to the extreme.
The problem was, not only Demon Pets, but humans could also comprehend the Great Daos within.
"Time, Space, Fate, Creation, Five Elements, Karma, Yin/Yang, Reincarnation, Devour, Stars..."
Looking at the Three Thousand Great Daos in the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, Li Zhangsheng became excited.
However, even though the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant had reached the Zifu Qizhen level, it was still severely incomplete; the vast majority of the Great Daos lacked a lot of content, and the remaining ones were often damaged.
There were only four complete Great Daos, and none of them were in the top ten, nor did they even reach the top one hundred.
These four Great Daos were Extinguishing Emotion, Roaring, Deduction, and Enchantment, which were the so-called Great Extinguishing Emotion Art, Great Roaring Art, Great Deduction Technique, and Great Enchantment Art.
Li Zhangsheng could only practice these four Great Daos, but even for these lower-ranked Great Daos, the difficulty of comprehension remained extremely high.
To learn the Three Thousand Great Daos, comprehension was the most important; those without enough comprehension could at most grasp the surface, and it would often take ten or a hundred years; even for those with excellent comprehension, it would take a massive amount of time and energy to learn even the surface.
Li Zhangsheng was different; due to consuming the Wisdom Fruit, his comprehension could be described as excellent, and coupled with the huge bonus to comprehension from the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, he was afraid he could initially comprehend a Great Dao in less than a year.
"If only the Creation and Star Great Daos were complete, even the Space or Five Elements Great Daos would do."
Li Zhangsheng was a bit dissatisfied; the Creation and Star Great Daos went without saying, as they were extremely important to him, while Space and Five Elements were because of Dijiang and the Five-colored Peacock Essence Blood.
Compared to the top ten Great Daos, the lower-ranked ones were not just a little bit worse.
Of course, the lower-ranked Great Daos also had one benefit, which was that they were easier to comprehend.
Although there were no complete top-ranked Great Daos, Li Zhangsheng still decided to practice one.
Among these four complete lower-ranked Great Daos, the Great Extinguishing Emotion Art ranked the highest, belonging to the upper-middle tier of Great Daos.
Unfortunately, the Great Extinguishing Emotion Art did not suit him, because its drawbacks were very obvious, being exactly the same as the Taishang Heartless Demon Taming Art.
In Li Zhangsheng's view, the Great Extinguishing Emotion Art was actually very suitable for the Xuan Emperor.
Aside from the Great Extinguishing Emotion Art, the other three had no side effects.
The main effect of the Great Roaring Art was deterrence, and it possessed a certain amount of sonic damage.
The Great Deduction Technique went without saying; it could greatly strengthen deduction effects.
The final Great Enchantment Art greatly strengthened personal charm, which was more suitable for people with extremely high charm like Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen.
Among these three choices, Li Zhangsheng was more inclined toward the Great Deduction Technique; compared to the other two, the Great Deduction Technique was more compatible with him.
Li Zhangsheng possessed the Baxia Turtle Shell and the Heavenly Secret Stone, as well as the Top-tier Secret Technique Great Evolution Divine Calculation; if he were to comprehend the Great Deduction Technique as well, in terms of deduction ability alone, he would definitely be one of the best in the Fairy World.
Furthermore, as long as he comprehended the Great Deduction Technique, even if he only grasped the surface, his awareness of his own crises would be greatly improved.
That is to say, once someone wanted to plot against him, he might be able to foresee the arrival of danger in advance. If he were to comprehend the Great Deduction Technique to a profound level, he could even obtain certain fragments of the future.
However, this was ultimately a method from another world, and he did not know if it could be practiced in the Fairy World, or if some unpredictable changes might occur.
As for whether the Heavenly Dao would punish him, Li Zhangsheng was not too worried, because he was currently under the attention of the Heavenly Dao, and since the Heavenly Dao did not send down Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to destroy the Seeking Dao Jade Pendant, it represented a form of tacit approval.
The biggest problem was whether the Three Thousand Great Daos could be compatible with this world; if the repulsion was strong, it would mean Li Zhangsheng was wasting his energy in vain, and it could even potentially cause a backlash.
Therefore, before achieving certain results, Li Zhangsheng did not intend to let Ning Bizhen practice them.
