Chapter 159: Dao Canon

Afterward.

Lu Ling and the others saw Ye Tian off; everyone had a good meal at the hotel and chatted for several hours before parting ways.

After this parting, it would likely be a long time before they could meet again.

……

The next day.

Ye Tian notified Yu Wang that he was ready.

Very quickly.

Yu Wang arrived.

Hum!

A top-tier King-level Psionic Fighter landed at the Xia King Training Camp.

Ye Tian and Yu Wang boarded the King-level Psionic Fighter and headed toward the headquarters of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.

Ye Tian had assumed the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion headquarters was in Xia Country, but as the King-level Psionic Fighter kept flying higher into the sky, he realized something was wrong.

"Yu Wang, is the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion headquarters in the sky?"

Ye Tian asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Yu Wang nodded: "The Heavenly Emperor Pavilion headquarters is in a geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometers above Earth."

"Why was the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion headquarters built there?"

Ye Tian was puzzled.

"Because of the Earth Cave World!" Yu Wang said helplessly: "You should be aware that Earth will eventually merge with the Earth Cave World. Once that time comes, True Gods will definitely take action. And our allies on Earth will most likely not intervene unless we have the means to counter True Gods. Therefore, if Earth has not produced a True God by then, and Earth merges into the Earth Cave World to become a settlement, major factions might flee from Earth to save their lives."

At this moment, Ye Tian understood; being in geostationary orbit meant they could escape into space at any time.

Humans cannot survive there, but those in the King Realm and Saint Realm can. If they have spatial treasures, taking a batch of humans away wouldn't be a problem. Once a True God is born in the future, they could then strike back into the Earth Cave World; that is also an option.

Of course.

This is a plan for when there is no other choice!

"Ye Tian, just keep this information to yourself; you must never speak of it. Otherwise, once the news leaks, the Global True God Council will come looking for trouble!" Yu Wang said.

"Understood!"

Ye Tian replied.

……

The King-level Psionic Fighter was fast, flying high into the sky.

Soon, the fighter arrived before a sky screen.

"This is the Earth Sky Screen created by a semi-divine artifact, which can prevent alien races from passing through this barrier. Currently, Earth has been infiltrated and is riddled with holes; there is no way to clear out the hidden alien races or traitors, but it is still quite safe behind the sky screen."

Crack!

The sky screen tore open an entrance, allowing the fighter to pass through.

After flying past the sky screen, the fighter continued toward the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion headquarters.

Before long, Ye Tian saw a small landmass through the fighter, upon which there were many buildings.

"We have arrived at the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion!"

The fighter docked at the small landmass's airfield, and the two walked out from inside.

If an ordinary person came to this environment, they would have to wear a spacesuit, otherwise, they could not survive.

But experts in the Human King Realm no longer need to rely on oxygen; they can survive on energy alone.

It is no different from being on the ground here; there are not even any microorganisms, making the environment even better.

"Ye Tian, I will first handle the procedures for you to join the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion. Once completed, the benefits you are entitled to will be given to you one by one!"

Yu Wang said.

"Many thanks, Yu Wang!"

Ye Tian followed Yu Wang to handle the procedures, and it was finished quickly.

Next, Ye Tian's Battle Ring was replaced with the exclusive Battle Ring of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, and the reward of 10,000 points was also credited.

"Go and choose a top-grade Strange Treasure weapon!"

Yu Wang brought Ye Tian to the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion treasury, where there were many Strange Treasures, including no shortage of top-grade ones.

"I choose a sword-type top-grade Strange Treasure!"

Ye Tian decided.

"Then choose this Tianxuan Sword; it is a special non-elemental top-grade Strange Treasure. It cannot be used to comprehend Artistic Conception, but it is incredibly suitable for combat," Yu Wang introduced.

"A non-elemental top-grade Strange Treasure!"

Ye Tian requested it directly.

After all, a single-element sword can also be used to perform Sword Intent Domain and integrate other Artistic Conception powers, but it would be slightly unsmooth. It wouldn't affect combat too much, but when encountering an opponent of similar strength, a tiny gap could determine the outcome of the battle.

Therefore, a non-elemental top-grade Strange Treasure is incredibly suitable for someone like him who has mastered multiple Artistic Conceptions.

As for the ten opportunities to comprehend the Heavenly Emperor Stele, Ye Tian could go to comprehend it at any time.

Next were the Heavenly Pride benefits and places to improve one's state of mind.

Yu Wang introduced: "Ye Tian, the Heavenly Pride benefits of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion include a reward of 100 points per month, totaling 1,200 points a year. There is also a standard supply of resources, the quantity of which is quite decent, as well as authorization to use a King-level Psionic Fighter. In addition, you have the opportunity to comprehend the Dao Canon once a month."

"Dao Canon? What is that?"

Ye Tian was curious.

Yu Wang smiled and said: "I don't know exactly what the Dao Canon is either. I only know that it contains the mysteries of all things. Comprehending the Dao Canon helps in improving Great Divine Abilities, helps in creating Dao Techniques and Forbidden Techniques, and even helps in breaking through shackles."

"So omnipotent?"

Ye Tian was shocked.

"Yes!" King Yu nodded, then continued, "However, without Saint Realm cultivation, it is impossible to comprehend the true Dao Canon. King Xia and the others have been comprehending the true Dao Canon, while what you all comprehend are merely rubbings of the Dao Canon, though they still contain many mysteries. Once the meaning within the rubbings is exhausted, they must be re-rubbed, which is quite troublesome. Therefore, only those with Heavenly Pride status are permitted to comprehend them; ordinary members of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion have no way to comprehend them either."

"Where did the Dao Canon come from?" Ye Tian asked curiously.

King Yu said, "The Dao Canon was birthed by Earth. Hundreds of years ago, when Earth collided with the Earth Cave World, spiritual energy recovered and the laws of heaven and earth changed drastically, leading to the birth of the Dao Canon. Every world has its own special world treasure, and the Dao Canon is the world treasure of our Earth, controlled by the Global True God Council. It is precisely because of the Dao Canon that our Earth has been able to produce so many powerhouses in just a few hundred years. Back then, True Gods broke into Earth, also attempting to seize the Dao Canon."

"Even True Gods want to seize the Dao Canon!"

Ye Tian understood; once Earth and the Earth Cave World merged, the True Gods would certainly covet the Dao Canon. If Earth did not have sufficient strength, it would certainly be unable to resist, and at that time, they would have no choice but to leave Earth with the Dao Canon.

"King Yu, you mentioned earlier that there is a place for me to improve my state of mind; I wonder what place that is?"

Ye Tian asked again.

"It is a Secret Realm—the Ghost Realm. It is very suitable for improving one's state of mind, but it also carries a certain degree of danger. It opens once a year, and each time it lasts for one month. There are still three months until the Ghost Realm opens. This Secret Realm does not belong to Xia Country, but is located within Sun Country. We must pay a certain price to allow you to enter the Ghost Realm," King Yu said.

"Then I will go to the Ghost Realm in three months!"

Ye Tian said.

Afterwards, King Yu spoke of a few more matters and then left.

After all, King Yu also had to cultivate and did not have the time to stay with Ye Tian all the time.

Very soon.

Ye Tian arrived inside a pagoda and found his own room; from now on, this would be his residence in the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Although it was a single room, the area was at least 1,000 square meters, enough for him to live in alone.
