464 COMPLEXITY IN MASTERING THE DAO OF TIME AND SPACE (1/2)
The Dao of Space!
It is a common knowledge that among the ten natural elements, there exist two Dao which is extremely difficult to master. They are Dao of Space! And the Dao of Time!
In order to completely master a Dao, one has to do it in four stages. They are
Manifestation Stage
Domain Stage
Transformation Stage
Supreme Stage
In the Manifestation Stage, one will learn how to manipulate the element and manifest it into a shape. For example, Arjun's fire fist. He used the Dao flames to master this simple manifestation stage of Dao of fire.
After Manifestation Stage, it was Domain Stage. In this stage, the user could create his or her own domain which particularly belongs to him or her. Until unless their opponent breaks that domain, they can't harm that domain master.
The third stage is the Transformation Stage. In this stage, the user can transform anything in his domain into that of a particular element and attack his opponent. It sounds simple. But the output of this attack could even destroy a Domain of a domain realm expert with ease.
And finally the Supreme Stage. In this stage, a particular element in which the user masters in belongs to him completely. He can manipulate that element however he wants. Only another Supreme Stage expert can compete against that Supreme Stage expert.
That's why, in the God Realm, the experts are measured in terms of how many levels of Dao one reached. Cultivation base is secondary here.
A cultivator who has higher cultivation base but didn't master any Dao might be considered strong. But a cultivator who has lower cultivation base, but has mastered the Dao Arts are considered stronger. There is an in-depth meaning between strong and stronger.
In this case, the cultivator with weak cultivation base might not be able to defeat the cultivator with better cultivation base. But that's only the case if they fight using the Divine Power only.
But if the cultivator with weak cultivation base Who could use the Dao could definitely defeat the cultivator with the strong cultivation base who couldn't use the Dao. This is the difference between the quality. And the big pavilions would pay any price to get that cultivator.
