Chapter 263: Yi Yun’s Dao


    After the way of the weapons, there was the secondrge category, thews of the five elements!


    The five elements, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth could be cultivated to an extreme and pushed to the pinnacle of martial arts. If one couldbine the five elements into one, one could go one step further.


    Besides the five elements, there were thews of nature.


    One could use the powers of nature such as Wind, Snow, Thunder and Lightning and the power of crumbling mountains and tsunamis.


    Once thews of nature were cultivated to an extreme, they could also bebined into one. A warrior could be an embodiment of Heaven and Earth, holding onto the power of the Creator.


    The aforementioned threews were the mostmon cultivation techniques. They were not considered difficult to master, but they were still promising as one went higher. 90% of the warriors in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom chose from these three categories, focusing on a particrw.


    After the three big categories, there were some rtively rarews.


    Manyws and Great Dao often came in pairs, for example, Hard-Soft, Fake-Real, Space-Time, Yin-Yang, Life-Death, Cause-Effect, Being-Void, Murder and Redemption, Ephemeral-Eternal...


    Yi Yun kept reading. The 3000 Great Dao of martial arts were all-inclusive.


    A typical warrior would only choose one of them, and at best, just a few.


    Every path in the 3000 Great Dao contained endless mysteries. A warrior could spend his entire lifetime and still not be able to glimpse at every secret.


    If one chose too manyws, it could result in one bing too distracted, preventing one from aplishing greater things.


    Yi Yun read the introduction to everyw, as well as their properties and principles which were recorded in the ‘Truth of the Laws’...


    The ‘Truth of the Laws’ was a foundational description. Only 16 types were described in detail amongst the 3000 Great Dao.


    Different Dao had their own differing qualities.


    The highest grade amongst the 3000 Great Dao was the “Great Dao of Origins”!


    There were very few types of Great Dao of Origins. It exceeded the normal Great Dao, and was king amongst the 3000 Great Daos.


    It was very difficult to have an initial foothold in the Great Dao of Origins. It was also quite difficult toprehend, master or break through. Just finding a mystic technique that dealt with the Great Dao of Origins was nearly impossible. Even the sages in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom rarely managed to see a book that dealt with the Great Dao of Origins.


    A typical warrior would not choose the Great Dao of Origins when practicing martial arts. It was tantamount to blocking their own martial arts careers.


    In human history, there were nock of elites from super family ns that chose to focus on the Great Dao of Origins because of their exceeding talent. But due to their inability to seed, they had to change to a lower gradew, resulting in wasted time.


    In this world, there were people who tried to gain understanding in the high realm of the Great Dao of Origins. These people would usually begin with a normal Great Dao, and only when they became a sage and exceeded peers on the same level as them would they choose to try to understand the Great Dao of Origins. If they had any sess, they could go a step further, bing a Great Emperor. They would then be a giant of the Human race, allowing them to exceed a Divine Kingdom, being respected by all.


    Below the Great Dao of Origins, there were second-ranked Great Dao. They were named Great Dao of Supremacy.


    The so-called Supremacy was Supremacy below Origins.


    For example, Space-Time Dao, Yin-Yang Taiji Dao, Life-Death Dao, Immortality Dao.


    The Great Dao of Supremacy were also extremely difficult. Butpared to the Great Dao of Origins, they were slightly easier. There were also many more known cultivation technique manuals for them.


    Below the Great Dao of Supremacy, they were no longer named Great Dao, but instead namedws.


    For example, thews of the five elements, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, the naturalws of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning. These were all known as high-gradews.


    Below high-gradews were the lowest grades amongst the 3000 Great Dao, they were just normalws.


    Hard-Softws, Fast-Slow concepts, Mountain-River concepts, vibrationalws were all considered normalws.


    Young warriors with exceptional talent would slowly grasp normalws in the Purple Blood realm. When they reached the Yuan foundation realm, they would be rtively skilled at using thews.


    Of course, it was not easy to understand normalws to an extreme limit.


    There was no limit tows. In the history of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, many sages focused on normalws. But even in the realm of sages, they were far from being able to cultivate any normalw to an extreme.


    Yi Yun browsed through the ‘Truth of the Laws’ in its entirety once. The 16ws described within the ‘Truth of the Laws’ were the five elements, Hard-Soft, Fast-Slow, Wind-Lightning, Starlight, Yin-Yang, Murder and Redemption.


    The more Great Dao of Laws one cultivated and the more thoroughly one understood them, the closer one would get to reaching the pinnacle of martial arts.


    Yi Yun clearly understood that he had to go slow. Although he had the Purple Crystal Origins helping him and had a promising future ahead of him, his martial arts path was still in its infancy. He could not be too greedy for many warriors would only focus on one Great Dao of Laws in their entire life.


    After a lot ofparison, Yi Yun decided on his final choice, pure Yang Dao!


    The pure Yang Dao was part of the Yin-Yang Dao, which was a Great Dao of Supremacy.


    When the Universe was in its formative stages, “The primordial universe (Wuji) generated supreme ultimate (Taiji), and therefore generates the opposing forces. The two opposites generate the four images.”


    This primordial universe was Chaos, and Chaos was a Great Dao of Origins, and the two opposites were Yin-Yang, which was a Great Dao of Supremacy.


    By the evolution of Pure Yin and Pure Yang, they formed everything that existed in the Universe.


    The Yin-Yang Dao was extremely difficult and profound. This was a reason why many elites failed at learning the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’.


    After establishing his first goal of practicing the pure Yang Dao, his direction in condensing an Aspect Totem was then also decided.


    That was to hunt pure Yang deste beasts to form a pure Yang totem!


    When Yi Yun chose the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’, what mattered the most to him was that the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ had no restrictions based onws. There was no requirement on what type of primordial species had to be killed for the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’.


    Unlike the ‘Five Elements Divine Totem’ and the ‘Book of the Stars’, they were based on the five elementalws and the powers of the stars respectively. The cultivation technique designated a strict path for a warrior.


    Cultivation techniques were rare. High level cultivation techniques like the ‘Five Elements Divine Totem’ and the ‘Book of the Stars’ were invaluable.


    Many warriors would restrict their own martial path by amodating the cultivation technique, but Yi Yun was not like that.


    “I want to gain an understanding of the pure Yang Dao, and cultivate the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’. At the same time I need to cultivate the next few volumes of the ‘Tai Ah Sacred Technique’. Not only that, I also need to learn the Deste Heaven technique! I have so many things to learn!”


    Yi Yun could perfectly control the energy within a deste beast thanks to the Purple Crystal, so it was half the work with double the results when it came to mastering the Deste Heaven technique.


    The Deste Heaven technique was a supplementary skill that greatly helped one’s cultivation, so Yi Yun would definitely not miss out on it.


    Yi Yun had previously obtained a copy of a Deste Heaven Master manual when he and Lin Xintong separated.


    In the past six months, Yi Yun would read the contents within the Deste Heaven Master manual whenever he had time. Although Yi Yun had never systematically practiced the Deste Heaven technique, he had a general understanding of it.


    “The Tai Ah Divine City also has lessons that teach the Deste Heaven technique. It’s not toote for me to start now.”


    Yi Yun decided to report for a Deste Heaven technique ss starting tomorrow. At the same time, he would progress in his cultivation ofws and Aspect Totems.


    With his future path decided, Yi Yun took the remnant pages of the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’ and began trying to gain an understanding of the contents in the ‘Ten Thousand Beast Totem’.
