[Chapter 163 Comments]

[TheTavius08: well Mia tomatos fruits and are commonly referred to as vegetables due to their use in savory dishes.But they are technically berries]

…

"Bu…" Mia pouted. She failed again. "So, which item piqued your interest, Dad? For you to not think about me."

"What are you saying? I’m still thinking about you." Theo shook his head while taking out the bamboo fan. "This is the one."

"Hmm?" Mia tilted her head in confusion. "What is this? A bamboo fan? Is it something special? I can’t sense anything from it."

"Of course, you can’t sense it. This bamboo fan seems to be connected to a similar power system that our original world has."

"What? Similar power? Are you talking about our magical power?"

"No. It’s something that I haven’t told you. But I think the readers have told you. It’s the power that only a select few can wield, Order."

"Order?" Mia gasped before tilting her head with an innocent expression. "What is Order? Do you mean like I order you to do it or something?"

"No. Hmm. I shouldn’t tell you this yet, so I’m going to explain it in a roundabout way. Order is a power that stems directly from your very existence. If you can wield a fire, what kind of fire will it be? Will it burn everything in the world? Or will it be a warm fire that is gentle enough to protect the people around you? You can’t make a fierce fire if you want it to be gentle."

"O-oh?" Mia was still confused, but she managed to get some grasp on this power. "Basically, it’s a power given only to those that follow a certain path, right?"

"Yes, essentially."

"So, does that mean it’s similar to Dao?!" Mia asked.

"Dao?" It was Theo’s turn to be confused.

"Yes. Dao is always the way of cultivators. It’s said there are a total of three thousand grand daos, giving people a power that surpasses that of a mere cultivator. Dao of Life, Dao of Wind, Dao of Yang, and so on. It’s something like that," Mia explained with a smug smile, showing off her knowledge from the novels she read.

"I think they are pretty similar." Theo nodded and grabbed the bamboo fan. "And I can finally understand why this power feels so familiar to me."

Theo poured his essence into the bamboo fan when, all of a sudden, the wind flowed in a circle, brushing Mia’s skin.

"Ah!" Mia widened her eyes in shock. She didn’t feel any illusion, so this wind must have come from the bamboo fan instead of her father’s illusion. At the same time, she couldn’t really sense this power. It felt weird.

"It seems that you can’t sense it." Theo smiled.

"Mhmm…" Mia looked down, feeling sad. "In our world, can you feel the power of order? I mean normal people?"

"It’s the same as here. You won’t be able to feel it. Only when you reach a certain level will you be able to sense it. Back then, it had only been two years since your father first started becoming stronger, so it shouldn’t take too long for you to be able to feel this power." Theo smiled. "Though, I don’t think only this world had this kind of power."

"Then, what about finding your own Dao, Dad? Instead of martial ability, I think this is a better option to bring back."

"It’s not that simple. Unlike the spirits, I don’t think this world’s will want to see me."

"World’s will… The one that governs the Heavenly Tribulation and everything in this world… Wait. When I see it this way, isn’t the world’s will in this world called Heavenly Dao?" Mia gasped. She had read this in one of the novels.

"Is that so? Well, I can try, but I’m not very sure. Besides, I don’t know if they have the power I want or not, considering there are only three thousand of them… according to you." Theo smiled.

If he wanted a Dao, it would be something similar to his power. In other words, it would be the Dao of Reality. However, he wondered if this world had this kind of power. After all, the Order originated from every single word that humans and beasts knew. Even if it was a new power, it would be registered as a new power by the world.

So, Theo wondered if he searched for another power, what kind of Dao would he be able to get?

"Nonetheless," Theo said, looking at the bamboo fan. "This power is similar to that of an elder that I respected very much. He was known as the Wind Emperor. His wind could disintegrate everything, including time and death. Unfortunately, he still succumbed to old age."

Mia thought for a moment. "In that case, let’s enter this tomb. From what I read, an ancient tomb like this would have the soul of the owner. He will give you free stuff, so I think we can ask him about Dao! Just like the spirits, I don’t think it will hurt to have one Dao to bring home, right?"

"Hahaha." Theo chuckled. Though, he didn’t deny that he was a bit curious about this power. In the Sword and Magic Realm, he had received the inscriptions from Baold. In the Mythical Realm, he got the power of spirits. He also originally had a Demon from his world.

If he looked at this carefully, this so-called Dao might be the specialty of this world. Instead of Martial Arts, it was indeed better to bring back Dao.

With this, he would have a total of four different powers in his body. He would search for more until he got one unique power from each world.

Ten worlds and ten unique powers. He believed this was the key to meeting the author.

"In that case, it seems that I can’t really hold back during the exploration." Theo smiled. "I’m sorry for the youngsters, but I’ll directly go to the goal."

"Hehehe. That’s what I’m waiting for." Mia smirked. "The exploration this time is going to be interesting."

…

As Mia said those words, the exploration indeed became even more interesting, but not because of Theo’s determination. Instead, it was due to the arrival of the Snow Blossom Sect.

"That’s…"

"That’s the Snow Blossom Sect."

"The one in front must be the disciple of the sect leader, Yue Yi!"

"All of them are so beautiful."

"They all look strong."

Yue Yi led the group with a calm expression as if their words meant nothing to her. All of a sudden, a gentle but seductive voice echoed in her ears.

"Yue Yi. Where is this senior you’re talking about? I’d like to meet him. He was the reason for your enlightenment, right? If not, you wouldn’t be with us here."

Yue Yi glanced to the side, looking at this woman. She had long black hair and a well-endowed body. Her body was releasing a mature charm, giving off the vibe of a gentle and caring person. It was vastly different from Yue Yi’s fierce and cold atmosphere.

However, in Yue Yi’s eyes, this mature charm was like black magic. She was using this power to control all the young men around her.

’Do you think she is worthy to meet him? As expected, the first elder must have told her about it. She is the first elder’s disciple after all. The other elders were also shocked by the enlightenment. It was all your fault. Senior had been kind enough to grace us with his presence, but you refused to meet him. And now, you were frantically searching for him?’ Yue Yi snorted in her mind. They simply reaped what they sowed.

However, she continued, "Yue Yi… You are still too young. It might be the reason you couldn’t enter his eyes. If it were me, I might have been pregnant already."

Yue Yi’s expression darkened. She didn’t say anything, but her gaze was slightly empty as if she had abandoned this woman. She couldn’t help but think, ’Should I… kill her?’

Soon, the thought disappeared as the relationship between her master and the first elder reminded her that she shouldn’t do it.

"I don’t know if the first elder told you about this or not. But if you offended him…" Yue Yi squinted his eyes.

"Of course, I won’t offend him." She shook her head.

Originally, Yue Yi wasn’t supposed to come here. After all, she had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage not long ago. Meanwhile, the woman before her was already a 9-Star.

Due to her enlightenment, her strength skyrocketed, allowing her to barely fit the group. Li Shuye believed that this exploration would further increase the effect of her enlightenment. That was why she sent her.

Unfortunately for her, there was no way she could find Theo in his disguise. Theo also didn’t intend to meet her again after the readers told him about her troubling behavior. It would be best if they didn’t meet because her actions couldn’t be linked to him.

More and more important people started to enter the city, preparing for the exploration.

And Yue Yi, knowing that Theo took her advice to stay at the Myriad River Inn, couldn’t help but keep on the lookout, wondering when Mia and Theo would come out. This way, she could meet them again.

…

Meanwhile, Theo kept experimenting with this fan. "So, this fan can actually release this kind of power… It’s not at the level of the Wind Emperor, but it’s quite strong. I guess it’s something that can be expected from an artifact."

"An artifact?"

"Yes. Do you remember my weapon? The one that can change into five forms? It has been accompanying me a lot, so its core has been influenced by my power. This fan is the same. However, it’s quite weird. In our original world, the power wouldn’t disappear even after thousands of years. In the end, the Dao itself is similar to Orders, but not the same." Theo explained.

"I see. But it’s still quite strong, no? Can you use it?"

"Yeah. If you can sense this power, I think you will be able to use it as well."

"Really? Then I’m going to train hard." Mia smirked.

Theo smiled and waved his hand, showing the comments. "Here you go. It’s the conversation you start."

"Mu…" Mia frowned when she saw this comment as though she didn’t like it. "No way. Tomatoes are vegetables. No matter what anyone says, tomatoes are vegetables."

Mia looked adamant in determining whether the tomato was fruit or vegetable. Even Theo couldn’t help but chuckle, knowing why she acted like a kid for this one.

"Just to let the readers know. Mia is a picky eater when it comes to vegetables. And tomatoes happen to be one of the few things she can eat. That’s why whenever she eats, she is always showing tomatoes as if trying to show that she has eaten enough vegetables."

Mia pouted, "Dad. Don’t say that! The readers will know! And they will condemn me for being a picky eater, especially after Mom said you suffered during your childhood."

She looked down, feeling bad.

Theo smiled and patted her head. "It’s fine. It’s just my past, there’s nothing wrong with you being a picky eater. Today, I have given you everything—money, status, knowledge, and even strength. You had everything right when you were born. However, I hope that you always remember this question.

"What will you be tomorrow? I was born with nothing but suffering, but I didn’t plan to die in the same way. If you end up being poor when I’m not with you, then it’s your fault for not utilizing everything I’ve given. If you are a picky eater, you have to work hard enough to be able to live that way. That’s why I want you to remember, you are the one creating your own path."

Mia looked down as though she couldn’t understand it.

’I guess it’s too deep for a seven years old…’ Theo glanced at her, observing her reaction.

"I know that. And it’s precisely the reason why I want to make a name for myself, whether it’s from my prank, my talent, or whatever. I want people to remember that I am Mia Griffith, not a mere Theodore Griffith’s daughter." Mia nodded.

Theo was a bit surprised but soon patted her head while Mia hugged him.
