6 Dao repository (1/2)
During the last part of the war, after the Devil Emperor awoke, it seemed as if the alliance may lose. At that time the oldest of the titled gods, the God of Death came up with a proposition. He wanted all the gods and titled gods to store their inheritances in a dao repository so that the future generations could carry on their inheritance even if they fail.
Even though many gods were against it, in the end almost all the gods did do so. Even Long Tian placed his own inheritance in there.
The gods did not want their inheritances to be lost, and at the same time easily destroyed. Thus the God of Death hid the dao repository in the heavenly dao itself. This meant that the invaders or anybody else could not find it. The God of Death was the strongest as well as the most knowledgeable of all the gods. No one else even knew how he created the dao repository. Being hidden within the folds of the dao, it was impossible to find it without having a level of insight into the dao similar to that of the God of Death. Being hidden in the dao also meant that it was possible to access it from anywhere and anyone could do so. And the way to enter the dao repository was a breakthrough in stage. When someone had a breakthrough in their stage, their dao mark would be updated, and when that happened, the heavenly dao would descend and through it ones consciousness could enter the dao repository.
But the gods also had a high requirement for the people who would inherit their legacies. So they set up a condition. Only those people of cultivation base lower than the immortal step or breaking through to the immortal step could enter the dao repository. At the same time one needed immortal sense in order to enter the dao repository.
Immortal sense was a special sense that only people of the immortal stage could have. The perception that one gains when one starts on their path of cultivation would strength itself over time and would become immortal sense when one reaches the immortal step. The greatest difference between perception and immortal sense was that while perception was formless and intangible, immortal sense had a tangible existence. It could be used to oppress or even kill enemies.
Almost all of the people who entered the immortal step gained the immortal sense after becoming an immortal. Since they did not have the immortal sense during their breakthrough they would not be able to enter the dao repository.
But every now and then a few people would be able to give birth to immortal sense while still in the dao step. These people were terrifying talents. Maybe even millions of years would pass by before such a person would be born. For example among all the titled gods other than the God of Battle all other gods managed to generate immortal sense before reaching the immortal step. But most of the gods did not. The people who generated immortal sense before the immortal stage could enter the dao repository during their breakthrough to the immortal step. But on every entry they could only chose one legacy.
There were some people who could even generate immortal sense in the second stage of the dao step. These people could enter the dao repository twice. But this was impossibly difficult. Only two people had managed this so far. They were Long Tian himself and the God of Death.
Long Tian currently had god sense. God sense is the evolved form of the immortal sense. During his breakthroughs he would be able to use it to enter the dao repository and gain a legacy. Not only that he would be able to enter the repository ten times in total.
He did not need any legacy to help him cultivate. It was legacies that contained auxiliary skills that he needed. Also in the dao repository the stronger legacies, including all the legacies of the titled gods were towards the back. And the deeper you go, the more powerful the pressure exerted by the dao repository would become. You had to use your immortal sense to power through it. Even though what Long Tian had was god sense, without any cultivation to power it, he would be unable to withstand even the mildest pressure. Thus during his first entry he could only chose from one of the legacies in the entrance area. And those were the weakest kind. His own legacy was towards the very end of the god legacy region.
Suddenly Long Tian recalled someone who had left their legacy in the entrance area. He had arrived late and just created his legacy without thinking about it too much and had left it in the front. And he knew a few skills that would be extremely useful for survival in this world, where he had to grow up without his fathers protection.
Then Long Tian closed his eyes and waited for the Soul Healing pill. Time passed by and quickly two days had gone by. Long Tian was still in meditation familiarizing himself with his new body. Suddenly his soul felt a pure and gentle power flowing into him. Even though he had never taken a dao class Soul Healing pill before, he had taken an Immortal class Soul Healing pill before. Thus he was able to quickly recognize it.
As he felt the power of the Soul Healing pill enter him, he quickly reconnected his soul to his body. He could see that no one was checking him. He sighed in relief and quickly gathered the medicinal power of the pill pooling around him. As his soul was not hurt, the medicinal power had nothing to do. He knew that after a while the medical power would simply waste away. So he had to act quickly.
