Chapter 4682 Divine Monk Yong Ye, the Dao Merging Powerhouse
Led by Yu Hao; the divine monk, Duan Ling Tian and the others soon arrived at the main temple of the Temple of the Bitter Sea to meet the Dao Merging powerhouse of the Temple of the Bitter Sea.
The other party was an old monk with white eyebrows. He was dressed in a simple gray and white kasaya. He was seated in an old and simple Buddha hall, and he looked inconspicuous. Not only that, but if one closed their eyes and only relied on one"s Divine Consciousness, it would be difficult to detect his presence. At this moment, he was sitting down and meditating.
Yu Hao bowed respectfully and said, "Ancestor, the guests have arrived."
"I"m Jiang Hai Shan. These are the other four Dao Establishment powerhouses from the Surging River Divine Kingdom. Greetings, Divine Monk Yong Ye," Jiang Hai Shan took the lead to say. His tone was very respectful. After all, the other party was a formidable and strong powerhouse. No matter how strong he was, as a Dao Establishment powerhouse, he was nothing in front of a Dao Establishment powerhouse.
Duan Ling Tian was extremely strong as a level-nine Dao Establishment powerhouse who had mastered three Daos. However, he might not even be able to withstand a single strike from Yong Ye. He would either die or be severely injured.
At this time, everyone from Duan Ling Tian, Hong Dong Chuan, and the people from the Surging River Divine Kingdom to the people from the Temple of the Bitter Sea, excluding Bai Yan, looked at Yong Ye in awe.
Yong Ye was not just the strongest person in the Temple of the Bitter Sea. He was also wors.h.i.+pped by everyone in the Temple of the Bitter Sea. In their eyes, no one could replace him in their hearts.
Even the reclusive old man, who was leaning on a crutch, only came out of seclusion after so many years because of a chance to hear the teachings of Yong Ye. It did not matter if he won or lost the compet.i.tion as long as he could meet Yong Ye.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian studied the old monk with white eyebrows in front of him. This was his first time meeting a Dao Merging powerhouse, whose strength surpa.s.sed all Dao Establishment cultivators. Moreover, even in the Myriad Worlds, whether it was before or after the historical gap, the most powerful people were only level-nine Dao Establishment cultivators. There was no record of anyone stronger than that. According to the Void Elder, a level-seven supreme powerhouse whose memories he had obtained, one could only possess powers comparable to "heaven" when one became a level-nine supreme powerhouse.
Previously, in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary, Duan Ling Tian found "heaven" mysterious. It was not until he arrived in the Divine Land that he discovered that "heaven" was just the rules of the Life Creation Chart controlled by a Dao Merging powerhouse. In a way, the master of the Life Creation Chart could also be considered the "heaven" of the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary.
Duan Ling Tian also discovered that the Life Creation Chart was controlled by different people before and after the historical gap.
The master of the Life Creation Chart before the gap in history had cultivated the Sacrificial Dao to the ninth stage and was just a step away from merging it with an already merged Dao. If he succeeded, he would have become one of the strongest people in the Divine Land. The merging of three Daos was the pinnacle for powerhouses in the Divine Land. Currently, in the Divine Land, there were only fewer than a handful of people like that.
Alas, the master of the Life Creation Chart before the historical gap failed to make that last step. Before he could succeed, he was besieged and severely injured, which led to his death. After that, the Life Creation Chart was taken away and divided into several parts. For this reason, the world within the chart collapsed.
It was also at that time that the Void Elder died, leaving his memories in his Realm of Origin, which Duan Ling Tian obtained later on.
After coming to the Divine Land, Duan Ling Tian finally found out that the Void Elder"s speculation was wrong. The Void Elder had speculated that "heaven" feared supreme powerhouses with the potential to become level-nine supreme powerhouses, which was the highest cultivation base in the world within the Life Creation Chart, so "heaven" wanted to kill them.
Many years later, someone gathered the parts of the Life Creation Chart and rea.s.sembled it to cultivate the Sacrificial Dao, becoming the new master of the Life Creation Chart. With this, the world within the chart was recreated. That person also captured many natives of the Divine Land and threw them into the world within the Life Creation Chart to propagate the world.
Duan Ling Tian was the descendant of those people from the Divine Land. Naturally, it was not just him. Everyone in the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary after the gap in history was a descendant of those people.
Just as the new master of the Life Creation Chart reached the eighth stage of the forbidden Sacrificial Dao, he was captured and suffered an almost similar fate to the former master of the Life Creation Chart. The difference was that he was only severely injured and he managed to escape with the damaged Life Creation Chart.
Back to the present, Yong Ye opened his eyes. His gaze was dull, and his appearance was ordinary, but no one dared to underestimate him. After all, he was a Dao Merging powerhouse. He said, "Greetings, everyone."
Following that, Yong Ye looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, "I didn"t expect to meet someone from the world within the Life Creation Chart. I can sense the unique vitality energy of the world within the chart on you. Previously, I didn"t partic.i.p.ate in the attack against the new master of the Life Creation Chart, but when the chart was damaged, I could sense many people with unfamiliar energy arriving in the Divine Land…"
It was also due to the unique and unfamiliar aura of the world within the Life Creation Chart that Yong Ye was able to quickly determine Duan Ling Tian was from the world within the chart.
Yong Ye"s words also satiated much of Duan Ling Tian"s curiosity regarding this matter.
At this time, Yu Hao said with a sigh, "Ancestor, our Temple of the Bitter Sea lost the compet.i.tion this time."
Based on Yu Hao"s expression, it was clear that he blamed himself.
Yong Ye"s expression did not change when he heard those words. He looked at Duan Ling Tian again and calmly asked, "Because of him?"
"Yes," Yu Hao replied with a nod, "Brother Ling Tian"s strength far surpa.s.ses mine. Not only has his Sword Dao reached the ninth stage, but his Limitless Dao and Mastery Dao are also at least at the eighth stage."
Upon hearing this, Yong Ye"s dull gaze seemed to brighten slightly.
Meanwhile, everyone, except for Jiang Hai Shan, Yu Hao, and Bai Yan, was shocked. Even Hong Dong Chuan, who knew how strong Duan Ling Tian was, was shocked. None of them expected that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended another two Daos to such a high level. With this, it meant that as long as one of the two Daos reached the ninth stage, Duan Ling Tian could attempt to merge his Daos. If he succeeded, there would be a new Dao Merging powerhouse in the Divine Land.
Yong Ye looked at Duan Ling Tian and said kindly, "The people within the world of the Life Creation Charts are descendants of people from the Divine Land after all. Their talents are naturally not inferior. However, based on the fact that you"re able to cultivate to this stage, it"s clear that your talent is extraordinary. It should not be difficult for you to merge the Daos."
Duan Ling Tian bowed slightly and said with a smile, "I hope that I"ll be able to gain some insight after listening to your teachings so I can further improve my Limitless Dao."
