Taking a deep breath, Jian Shen who started focusing on the Dao of Fire made his five minor orange coloured dao rings appear by themself and surround him as they also basked in the orange dao which was covering Jian Shen.Still, neither of them two absorbed the dao in any way and instead just looked pleased from enjoying the heat they were experiencing.
After all, absorbing Dao could only be done by special means, like how those chips back at the casino did. In fact, that also couldn"t be considered as absorbing of Dao, since what they did was force the body into coming in contact with certain Daos and forced it to comprehend them.
Similarly, what Jian Shen did to strengthen his grasp on the four daos before they were corrupted wasn"t absorption either because all he was doing was using the real dao laws to temper his own dao and fix them.
But, Jian Shen wasn"t focussed on improving his knowledge regarding the dao he had already comprehended and instead was trying to improve his comprehension of the Dao of Fire as a whole due to which the process wouldn"t be as easy as it was for him until now.
Therefore, Jian Shen who was sitting cross-legged at the center of the Fire G.o.d"s Lotus used the dao floating from it to stimulate himself and brought himself closer to the Dao of Fire as a whole after which he slowly began comprehending it.
Five…. Six........Seven...….....…...Eight..................….
Comprehending a dao turned harder and harder as one kept on persisting on the path and didn"t back down.
For example, imagine a gla.s.s full of water inside which a pinch of salt is added.
When the gla.s.s is stirred, the salt quickly disappears after being mixed with the water. Following this, even more salt is added and stirred until it mixes with the water again.
As you keep on repeating this, soon you"ll notice not only that the amount of time you need to stir the water to mix the same quant.i.ty of salt with the water grows by a lot, but also that after a certain point of time, it becomes impossible to add any more salt at all as a whole.
The situation of dao cultivators was the same as well.
In the early stages, regardless of their talent they could very easily comprehend dao at a very quick speed. But as time went on, not only would their speed of comprehension decrease by a lot, it was also possible that they"d reach their limit and never manage to comprehend the dao any further.
Due to this, it wasn"t uncommon to see cultivators who never managed to form a major dao ring in their entire life span and were left with seven, and even eight minor dao rings.
Luckily, Jian Shen"s situation wasn"t the same.
Even though the time to form the next minor dao ring kept on increasing, his progress was smooth and without any problems due to which in just four short months he went from possessing five minor dao rings, to eight completely formed dao rings and a ninth one which was almost full as well.
Literally breathing flame as he just sat there cross-legged inside the Fire G.o.d"s Lotus due to how focussed he had been on comprehending the Dao of Fire, Jian Shen didn"t even have time to open his eyes and look towards the lotus which was no longer lush and beautiful like before and was rather completely dried up and looked like it was at the end of it existence.
With only the tips of the petals still remaining bright and br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vitality, no one who looked at it would be surprised if they saw it suddenly crumbling into dust which would disappear with the wind.
But, no one was here to see that happen, and the only one who could see that was completely engrossed in comprehending the Dao of Fire to be bothered about anything else.
Eyes closed and attention completely on trying to grasp that one bit of knowledge which seemed to be playing hide and seek with him, Jian Shen frowned ever so lightly for the first time ever since he began comprehending dao inside the Fire G.o.d"s Lotus.
The frown however was very short-lived with a look of enlightenment suddenly appearing on his face around the same time that the tips of the lotus also turned lifeless.
Not the slightest bit bothered from sensing the lotus he was sitting on top of him turning into dust and flying away, Jian Shen was entirely focussed on looking towards the nine orange rings which were floating one above the other inside his upper dantian.
From what he heard, the formation of a major dao ring was something which happened by itself and didn"t need anyone to do anything.
Therefore, Jian Shen kept on looking towards the minor fire dao rings because he didn"t want to miss the moment when they fused and became a major dao ring, his very first one.
Soon, the nine rings floating one above the other began moving closer to the ones that were closest to them until the nine rings looked like they were three sets of three rings each.

Following this, they did turn into three thick rings which were bigger than the previous minor rings before finally all three of them further fusing and becoming one big ring which despite being just a little larger than a minor dao ring was definitely on a completely different level.
Opening his eyes after observing his Fire Dao Ring, which was now a major dao ring, Jian Shen smiled faintly from looking towards the illusory orange ring floating around him. Sure becoming a Dao King didn"t feel any different than being a Dao Disciple, but this was because no power was stored inside the body per se like it was in the Middle and Lower Dantian.
Instead, what Jian Shen gained was the ability to control fire at his will.
