Chapter 54: Taoist Sutra 00

Zhou Bai thought to himself, You’ve really made a sudden turn. Watching Zuo Dao leave, Zhou Bai couldn’t help muttering, “You didn’t even tell me your room number…”

Zuo Dao turned around and said coldly, “I wrote it on the notebook. You better work hard and stop disgracing us.”

Although the process was a little beyond Zhou Bai’s expectations, the results were gratifying.

Especially after Zhou Bai returned to his dorm and flipped through the learning notes Zuo Dao gave him, he couldn’t help exclaiming at how detailed these notes were.

Not only did they explain every step of the process in increasing Degree of Taoification in detail, they also briefly explained all the related theories and even had notes on which textbooks to reference. Zhou Bai was shocked at their detail.

He’s really a nerd, Zhou Bai thought. He could probably sell these study notes as textbook material.

In the following days, Christina quietly practiced the second star point, Tai White, while Zhou Bai cut class during the day to raise Laziness and read Zuo Dao’s notes at night with Christina. Now and then, he went to the library to borrow related textbooks to read.

As for Zuo Dao, Zhou Bai didn’t go to him; after all, he didn’t want others to know his current skill level.

And besides, Zuo Dao’s notes were detailed enough, plus he had Christina to help fill the gaps in his basic theories. Christina learned even faster than Zhou Bai, as if she was continuously recovering her memory.

Zhou Bai had a lot of confidence in raising his Degree of Taoifcation.

***

A whole week passed like this. Not only did Zhou Bai make tremendous improvements in his knowledge of Degree of Taoification, but his Laziness also increased greatly, exceeding 3,000.

Degree of Taoification: 0%

Primordial Spirit Value: 99

Divine Map: Deva Nine Disasters

Laziness: 3,450

“The so-called Degree of Taoification measures the synchronization of humans with the Heavenly Tao. The more synchronized they are, the greater primordial spirit power they can master, and the more they can improve and become more powerful in all aspects…”

Zhou Bai closed Zuo Dao’s notes. He slowly shut his eyes. The comprehension of Degree of Taoification lingered in his mind.

Before the Heavenly Tao became distorted, when practitioners wanted to raise Degree of Taoification, they just had to meditate and breathe every day. In the process of breathing Spark, they would naturally gain information little by little regarding the Heavenly Tao, increasing their comprehension of it.

This information was hazy and hard to describe, but at the same time practitioners were safe and harmless.

In this kind of hazy Heavenly Tao, practitioners needed to continuously comprehend, summarize, describe, and turn the information into their own understandings in order to raise Degree of Taoification

After the Heavenly Tao distorted, this process became completely different.

In order to prevent practitioners from being infected in the process of practice, the entire Donghua City was enveloped in a protective formation. Almost all the practitioners had gone through primordial spirit adjustment since birth and had gotten rune vaccines.

That’s why the practitioners practicing inside Donghua City today basically couldn’t come into contact with Heavenly Tao information through breathing Spark. The triple protection blocked it all.

The new method Tao academies gave them was to directly read their summarized contents.

From Taoist Sutra 00 to Taoist Sutra 99 corresponded to Degree of Taoification 1–99%. They each represented the necessary knowledge and comprehension for each point of Degree of Taoification.

But they had been transformed into text that generations of strong individuals compiled using countless ciphers and metaphors that could be read and understood little by little. The text was much less harmless than contacting the Heavenly Tao directly.

But even so, when you actually increased your Degree of Taoification and synchronized with the Heavenly Tao, there were still many dangers.

Because the Heavenly Tao…is ubiquitous.
