1075 Dao Comprehension Stone (1/2)

”What's in that mysterious realm?” Fang Yuan asked the important question at once.

Although they could not enter, making some Golden Core cultivators do their bidding was no trouble at all.

Moreover, they had surely found some extremely valuable treasures or clues in their previous explorations. Otherwise, they would not ask for his help so directly.

After all, he was definitely unwelcome in both the Orthodox and Demon Dao communities. The five city masters had to be taking a huge risk doing this.

It looked like the treasures were truly valuable.

”Big Brother…” Qian Xingzi and the Miscellaneous House Master exchanged glances before looking at Venerable Lie Huo.

”It's fine… If Brother Situ doesn't help us, we can't be sure we'll obtain them. The Orthodox Dao and Demon Dao cultivators will certainly catch wind of this before long!”

Venerable Lie Huo smiled wryly. ”We couldn't enter the mysterious realm, but after discovering the Golden Core entrance, we sent some of our Golden Core subordinates inside to investigate. It is indeed perilous, and the only one who managed to return alive brought back a 'Dao Comprehension Stone'. According to him, the mysterious realm consists of many levels, and the Dao Comprehension Stone was the reward for passing a certain level!”

”From the sound of it, it looks like this mysterious realm was the place for a certain force to elect members of its group or test its disciples…” Fang Yuan nodded. ”But if even Immortals have to undergo this test, it is truly incredible! That Dao Comprehension Stone, what is it?”

”This…” Venerable Lie Huo and the others exchanged glances and decided to explain in detail through gritted teeth.

Of course, a Dao Comprehension Stone was not the Dao Comprehension Cliff of the Barbarian Ancestral Court. However, there were some similarities.

The carvings on the Dao Comprehension Cliff were the personal comprehensions of the nomological laws left behind by Apotheosis and Immortal Patriarchs. They were explained in the patriarchs' words and were difficult to understand. However, a Dao Comprehension Stone was a true treasure of heaven and earth, and it contained unbelievable power.

Its only function was to force the user into a state of comprehending nomological laws!

As long as the user was not an idiot, the user's comprehension of nomological laws would increase dramatically in this state of enlightenment.

For example, Fang Yuan had entered this state briefly when he broke through to the Primordial Core realm. He had immediately broken through his bottleneck and achieved large success in the Illusion Realm's nomological laws.

”Direct comprehension?” Fang Yuan's eyes almost popped out. ”How is this possible? There are tens of thousands of nomological laws in the world, so how can this Dao Comprehension Stone let the user directly comprehend the Dao?”

”It's absolutely true!” said Venerable Lie Huo solemnly. ”This object is also known as 'Heavenly Dao Stone'. Rumor has it that a trace of the world's origin power is hidden within, giving it such power!”

Or rather… is it because it has traces of the nomological laws of this world's Heavenly Dao hidden within? Fang Yuan had some vague speculations. It's not the Heavenly Dao of this world. It must be the natural source of this entire universe's Heavenly Dao, right?

”It's truly invaluable!” At this point, he no longer had any doubts.

This kind of treasure was not only tempting to Golden Core cultivators, but even Immortals would covet them.

After all, if they wanted to continue advancing, the next step was to elevate their nomological laws to a Great Dao.

”These Dao Comprehension Stones might even have some effects on the breakthrough of Immortals!

”Of course, according to secret records, the effects are slightly different…”

This world was truly vast. Countless treasures, including Dao Comprehension Stones, had appeared many times, and detailed experiences were aplenty.

The Miscellaneous House Master explained, ”For ordinary nomological laws, a single Dao Comprehension Stone will allow the user to break through their bottleneck and reach large success! As for those slightly more advanced ones, such as the Nomological Laws of Sword and Nomological Laws of Fire, a Dao Comprehension Stone also has a good chance of helping the user break through their current bottleneck!

”In the rumors, although Immortals use the stones as well, they don't use them in ones or twos, but tens and hundreds. They must use them in combination with an array to boost the effect as well!”

”I see!” Fang Yuan nodded.

The effectiveness of the Dao Comprehension Stones was limited.

For some of the lower-tier nomological laws, the effect was naturally amazing. However, if the user wanted to elevate a complete set of nomological laws to a Great Dao, they required a large investment of the stones.

Furthermore, my Illusion Realm's nomological laws and Nomological Laws of Time are comparable to Great Daos… For the Dao Comprehension Stones to be effective, one or two won't do at all. I must use tens, hundreds of them together like Immortals!

”… For this reason, the majority of the Dao Comprehension Stones are circulated only among the Immortals, and they will generally use them the second they get their hands on them… Therefore, I'm afraid all of the Immortals in the Sixteen Countries will be attracted to this mysterious realm that can produce Dao Comprehension Stones!” Venerable Lie Huo said worriedly.

”I see! So, I take it you want to obtain a big haul before that happens?” Fang Yuan smiled.

These five city masters had large amounts of resources at their disposal and had all managed to reach the peak of the Apotheosis realm. However, their comprehension of nomological laws differed.

The stronger ones like Venerable Lie Huo had completely comprehended more than one set of nomological laws, and the Miscellaneous House Master and Qian Xingzi had likely only completely comprehended one set. As for Madam Hua Rui, she had not even completely comprehended a single set and was merely one step away.

For someone like Madam Hua Rui, she required only one Dao Comprehension Stone to almost guarantee breaking through her bottleneck.

”Why do you need Dao Comprehension Stones?” Regardless, Fang Yuan wanted to clarify his doubts before deciding anything.

”We all wish for long life. However, with the strength of our current nomological laws, we really don't have much confidence in surviving the lightning tribulation. The only thing we can do is to strengthen our foundation!”
