Xiao Shi believed that with the help of the Heavenly Mystery Box, the development of the Heavenly Mystery Palace would definitely be accelerated to a greater extent. As long as the influence of the Heavenly Mystery Palace increased, he would be able to produce more and more Heavenly Mystery Boxes. “Now, these three demigod Heavenly Kings already know that I’ve advanced to the Daolord realm.”
Xiao Shi looked up. One could clearly see the Dao River that existed in the sky above the Tianwu Continent. Through the reaction of Heavenly King Yao Xi, he could clearly sense that the three demigod Heavenly Kings would no longer underestimate him.
If the race between Xiao Shi and the three demigod Heavenly Kings was only a one-sided race, the three demigod Heavenly Kings didn’t take him seriously, nor did they think that Xiao Shi had the qualifications to race them.
As Xiao Shi became the Daolord, the three demigod Heavenly Kings began to feel varying degrees of pressure. Even though in their eyes, Daolord was still an ant that they could kill with a flip of their hands.
However, Xiao Shi’s advancement speed was too fast. Furthermore, he had advanced to become a Daolord in a way that they could not explain. This made them unable to look at Xiao Shi as if he was an ordinary Daolord.
“If I were them, I would definitely do my best to stop me from breaking through to the demigod level.” Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He knew that what was most important to him next was the problem of breaking through to the demigod level.
Only after becoming a demigod could he have the strength to face the three demigod Heavenly Kings head-on. However, it wasn’t easy to advance from Daolord to demigod. When Xiao Shi was in the Beginner Martial Era, he had already learned from the Martial Progenitor that the key to advancing from a Daolord to a demigod was to turn his Dao into rules.
According to the Martial Progenitor, there were two main ways to turn Dao into rules. The first was to be conferred by the person in charge of the ninth realm of the martial dao. For example, among the five demigods in the Beginner Martial Era, three of them had their Dao transformed into rules under the conferment of the Martial Progenitor.
The reason why the person in charge of the ninth realm of the Martial Dao had such ability was because the ninth realm of the Martial Dao had already turned its rules into the origin of the world.
From there, he could turn the Dao of the world into rules with a thought. This was also the reason why Xiao Shi felt like he was facing the entire world when he first faced the Martial Progenitor.
To a certain extent, the ninth realm of the Martial Dao, which had the source of the world, was equivalent to the ruler of a world.
From this, Xiao Shi understood the advancement process of the three realms of the Martial Dao. It was mainly to advance from the Dao to the rules and develop from the rules to the world’s origin.
A conferment by a ninth-stage martial artist was the first way to advance from a Daolord to a demigod. At the same time, it was the most common method.
Xiao Shi didn’t know if the three demigod Heavenly Kings were demigods conferred by the Martial Emperor. He only knew that the Tianwu Continent did not have a ninth realm martial artist. It was already destined that no one could use this method to advance to a demigod. He could only use the second method to advance to a demigod.
The second way to advance to the demigod level was mainly to study the rules. The rules of a demigod weren’t just their own rules. They were also the rules of the world. Only by having a deep understanding of the rules of heaven and earth could his Dao transform into the rules of the world.
This method was undoubtedly much more difficult than the first method of advancing to a demigod. Not only did it require very strong comprehension, most importantly, he had to look for an opportunity to come into contact with the rules of the world.
If it was in the Beginner Martial Era, it would not be difficult for Xiao Shi to come into contact with the rules of the world.
However, the Martial Progenitor had told him at that time. As the Beginner Martial Era had already entered another spacetime, this caused the rules of heaven and earth in the Beginner Martial Era to be completely different from the rules of heaven and earth in the Tianwu Continent.
There was even a serious conflict between the two.
If Xiao Shi studied the rules of heaven and earth in the Beginner Martial Era first, when he returned to the Tianwu Continent to study the rules of heaven and earth, there would be a huge obstacle.
Therefore, when Xiao Shi was in the Beginner Martial Era, he did not study the rules of the world. Now that he had returned to the Tianwu Continent, if he wanted to come into contact with the rules of the world, he could only start with the three demigod Heavenly Kings.
After all, only these three demigod Heavenly Kings could come into contact with the rules of the Tianwu Continent. The simplest and most effective way was to fight them. Through the rules of heaven and earth they used during the battle, they could comprehend and understand these rules.
This method was for ordinary Daolords. It was no different from having a death wish! Daolords didn’t have any hope against demigods. In a fight, he would definitely be insta-killed. However, Xiao Shi thought that he could use his undying characteristic to constantly fight the three demigod Heavenly Kings.
Even if he couldn’t defeat them and was killed by them, he could also constantly revive through his Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao.
“Although these three demigod Heavenly Kings already know that I have become a Daolord, my Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao has the augmentation of concealment. They definitely can’t tell that my Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao has the characteristic of being undying and indestructible.
“However, if I fight them frequently, they will definitely notice something amiss. I have to plan this carefully and not let them sec through my goal.”
Xiao Shi knew that once the three demigod Heavenly Kings knew that he was in an undying and indestructible state, they would definitely not fight him. They wouldn’t give themselves any chance to break through to the demigod level.
However, Xiao Shi felt that he could use their unfamiliarity with the Behind-the-scenes Heavenly Dao to create an opportunity. He could also find out if they controlled many rules through fighting them.
According to the Martial Progenitor, there could only be five rules in an era at most. If the three demigod Heavenly Kings only controlled one rule each, Xiao Shi still had a chance to advance to the demigod level.
If there were already five rules in the world, only by killing one of the demigods who controlled the rules could he have extra space to advance to a demigod. But for Daolord to kill a demigod was absolutely impossible.
Even Xiao Shi could not do it!
However, Xiao Shi felt that the possibility of these three demigod Heavenly Kings controlling many rules was minimal. After all, to control many rules, one had to first control many Daos when they were at the Daolord Realm.
But since ancient times, there were no more than five people who could master many Daos. There was a high chance that the three demigod Heavenly Kings only had one rule. Currently, the Tianwu Continent should still have two empty seats.
Soon, a plan quickly formed in Xiao Shi’s heart.
Moonfall Domain.
It was one of the 33 territories of the Tianwu Continent. The entire Moonfall Territory was relatively close to the Xingkui Domain of Heavenly King Xingkui. After the Great Wu Empire was destroyed and the three demigod Heavenly Kings requested the suzerains to take sides, Moonfall Territory immediately belonged to the Xingkui Domain.
A figure appeared out of thin air in the sky above Moonfall Territory. It turned into a slender figure that emitted a dense cold aura. This figure was only floating in the sky, yet the void around him cracked. A thick layer of ice condensed and spread at an astonishing speed.
Even the airflow was frozen. It caused a small portion of the sky where he was to instantly turn into a sky filled with dazzling ice crystals. Furthermore, after that figure appeared, the powerful aura fluctuation on his body was immediately released without reservation, filling the entire Moonfall Domain.
As a result, all the martial artists in Moonfall Territory trembled as if they were in an abyss under the spread of this aura.
Swoosh!
The Moonfall Territory Lord soared into the sky. He arrived in front of the other party with a solemn expression and carefully sized up this expert who had suddenly arrived.
“And you are?” Moonfall Territory Lord asked very cautiously. From the terrifying aura emitted by the other party, he realized that this was a powerful Daolord. But he was puzzled. He knew all the Daolords in the Tianwu Continent.
After all, there were only so many Daolords in the entire Tianwu Continent. However, he had never seen this Daolord before.
“I’m here on the orders of the fifth region’s Heavenly King. Moonfall Lord, you have two choices now. One, submit to us and take the initiative to take the Moonfall Territory into the Fifth Domain. Two, after I kill you, I’ll personally take Moonfall Territory into the Fifth Domain..”
