Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 509 - 495: Dao Venerable
Jun Tian Dao Lord's efficiency was high, and in just one day, he had organized the materials on Hongmeng Dao Venerable and delivered them.
While he was looking through the materials related to Hongmeng Dao Venerable, Emperor Hui Dao Lord and Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord learned from Jun Tian Dao Lord that he was collecting information on many Venerable Dao figures in preparation to truly step into the Venerable Dao domain.
There was no need for Jun Tian Dao Lord to go; these two great Dao Lords had already sent the materials of their Venerable Daos over.
By now, Alkaid had already displayed a momentum of being invincible in the Northern Sea, and even if he could not achieve the status of Dao Venerable in the future, he was bound to be a leader among the Ten Great Immortal Paths.
If he really could step into the domain of Dao Venerable...
He would dominate the Northern Sea!
For a long time to come, everyone would have to act according to his whims.
In such circumstances, the two great forces naturally wanted to take the opportunity to forge good relations.
Not just Emperor Hui Dao Lord and Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord, but also other forces from the Ten Great Immortal Paths rushed to send over the information they had on other Venerable Dao figures upon learning of this matter.
The materials they sent included not only the Dao Venerables of Northern Sea Star but also rumors of Dao Venerables from other star domains.
Especially the Dashang Immortal Dynasty.
The Destiny Dao Lord from the Dashang Immortal Dynasty sent over not only a Star Chart covering an area of more than thirty billion light-years, documenting a vast number of power distributions, but also three sets of Immortal Artifact materials, to express gratitude for Alkaid and Penglai's assistance.
Alkaid and Penglai had set out to hunt Divine Race nobles, and indeed, the six Divine Venerables against Destiny Dao Lord were actually a trap to lure Alkaid into the fray, but...
This matter ultimately involved Destiny Dao Lord.
To some extent, had Alkaid and Penglai not intervened, the six Divine Venerables might not have refrained from seizing the opportunity to swallow Destiny Dao Lord whole.
From this perspective, the two had saved Destiny Dao Lord's life.
As a result, after Destiny Dao Lord and the other Dao Lords of the Four Great Immortal Dynasties were out of danger, they not only didn't help Alkaid and Penglai against the six Divine Venerables but also fled back to the Four Great Immortal Dynasties.
Had Alkaid and the six Divine Venerables ended up in a mutually destructive fight, it would have been one thing, but instead, in that battle, Alkaid and Penglai demonstrated a nearly invincible momentum in the Northern Sea, annihilating eleven Dao Lords...
Such ferocity completely intimidated the Dao Lords of the Four Great Immortal Dynasties.
If Alkaid later decided to hold them accountable for abandoning their allies...
Even the combined efforts of the Dao Lords of the Four Great Immortal Dynasties would not be enough to withstand their fury.
Moreover, they had both justification and moral high ground; exterminating the Dao Lords of the Four Great Immortal Dynasties, others would only applaud.
Realizing these consequences, Destiny Dao Lord did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately turned the Dashang Immortal Dynasty's Treasury upside down.
He even borrowed a set of Immortal Artifact materials from the other three Immortal Dynasties and rushed to the Heavenly Dao Sect to make amends in the name of gratitude.
Alkaid did not stand on ceremony.
It was true that Destiny Dao Lord and the Four Great Immortal Dynasties were at fault first, so he accepted these acts of repentance without any qualms.
With the help of nearly half of the top forces in Northern Sea Star from the Ten Great Immortal Paths and the Four Great Immortal Dynasties, Alkaid also gained an intuitive impression of the Dao Venerable level characters born in the history of Northern Sea Star and even in the surrounding starry sky.
...
"Thirteen Dao Venerables have originated from the history of Northern Sea Star, but in the surrounding star domains, even as far as forty billion light-years away, only six legacies of Dao Venerable level figures have emerged!"
Alkaid said, glancing at the six Dao Venerable legends outside of the Northern Sea Star Domain.
The furthest Dao Venerable was active more than forty billion light-years away...
The universe's diameter is only three hundred billion light-years, and its radius is just a hundred and fifty billion.
Of course, this does not mean that the universe is only that large.
It is that beyond the core hundred billion light-years, the Great Dao's ensuing rules and matter become increasingly scarce.
When departing from the center of the universe by fifty billion light-years, the nodes capable of spatial traversal become rare, and by the time you reach a hundred billion light-years, spatial nodes almost disappear, leaving that last fifty billion light-years to be crossed solely by Dao Lords through their own flight.
Despite this, the range explored by Dao Lords still only extends to a diameter of a hundred and fifty billion light-years.
The central position is occupied by a colossal entity known as the Gate of Eternal Life.
It is twenty billion light-years away from Northern Sea Star.
"Gate of Eternal Life."
Alkaid uttered.
This power alone occupied three Gates of the Immortal Realm, with its core influence spanning over a hundred billion light-years.
As for beyond that...
Dao Lords often need millennia to traverse more than a hundred billion light-years, and the areas beyond a hundred billion light-years exceed the Gate of Eternal Life's reach.
They dare to throw their weight around in the star domains more than a hundred billion light-years away, and the local Dao Lords do not mind teaching them what it means when a powerful dragon cannot suppress the local snakes.
Similarly, the Gate of Eternal Life is wary of provoking collective anger and being opposed by all Dao Lords, so it seldom ventures into the star domains beyond its influence range.
However, that's not the key point; the key is the Dao Venerables born within the Gate of Eternal Life.
"Immortal Dao Venerable?"
Subsequently, Alkaid turned his gaze to the legends of the other five great Dao Lords.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
Two seemed familiar.
Fanjing Buddha Ancestor, who came from Fanjing Mountain.
Among the nine great groups of the Immortal Realm, there is a Brahma Group.
There is also Huan Yin Dao Venerable, hailing from the Sun and Star Sect, and within the nine great groups of the Immortal Realm, there is a Sun and Stars Group.
"Additionally, on Northern Sea Star, there are many familiar yet unfamiliar existences, among these, the most intuitive is Creation Dao Venerable! There's also a Creation Group among the nine great groups of the Immortal Realm."
Alkaid set down the materials in his hand.
If he previously had mere suspicions that Dao Venerables might be the reincarnations of Immortal Kings, at this moment he could almost be sure of it.
His real question now was not about the reincarnation of Immortal Kings but about...
Why Immortal Kings were reincarnating en masse on Northern Sea Star.
Although Northern Sea Star had a Gate of the Immortal Realm, according to the information he grasped, the number of gates to the Immortal Realm was not considered scarce.
Either they numbered in the threes of thousands, or in counts of ninety-nines.
The presence of a Gate of the Immortal Realm on Northern Sea Star was not extraordinary.
As for the center of the starry universe...
The center of the starry universe was the Eternal Gate, not Northern Sea Star.
Northern Sea Star was two hundred billion light-years away from the so-called central region.
In such a case, why was it recorded that there were thirteen Dao Venerables from Northern Sea Star, while other star domains had merely six?
"Either I understand too little and have a one-sided view, or... there is something special about Northern Sea Star,"
Alkaid pondered.
Soon, as if he had thought of something, he quickly opened one of the Star Charts.
This Star Chart had a "circle" with a diameter of one billion light-years.
A series of spatial nodes formed this immense circle.
Alkaid recalled the first guess that came to mind when he saw this "circle"...
"A cosmic disaster, or perhaps..."
Alkaid paused, "The fall of a great being."
And Northern Sea Star was situated right within this one billion light-year "circle."
After a while, Alkaid withdrew his gaze from the Star Chart and directly stored it into his Storage Treasure.
He then collected all the information about these Dao Venerables and focused his Mind Thought on his Spiritual World.
Eleven Dao Lords.
And the wealth accumulated by the eleven Dao Lords, amounting to trillions, all became Alkaid's spoils of war.
On the ancient glass tree in the Spiritual World, both the [Demon Hunter] and [Businessman] branches were laden with energy as dense as ink.
Whether he invested this energy into [Artifact Refining] or [Integrate Dao - Void], it would greatly accelerate the progress of either.
However...
Alkaid's Mind Thought immersed into the Great Void Path.
Ordinary Void Dao Lords might be too weak to perceive it, but being an Immortal Venerable, he could clearly sense the terrifying existence that dominated the entire Great Void Path.
The other party had not yet left.
For a moment, Alkaid had to turn his attention towards [Shattered Void · Time].
"First, let's elevate the Path of Time to the Integrate Dao Level; every Great Dao, from Shattered Void to Integrate Dao, represents a qualitative transformation. Moreover, once the Path of Time is elevated, it will have a visible impact on enhancing my combat strength,"
With a thought, a portion of the energy was drawn, pouring into the branch of [Shattered Void · Time].
Since the branch had already grown enough to bear fruit, in just a moment, Alkaid felt the transformation in his Realm, making a leap.
Yet, this leap and advancement were primarily reflected in the aspect of "Shao Hua."
In this moment, he seemed to become the favored child of time, unaffected by the years washing over him or the passage of time.
Faintly, his understanding of all things in the world had transcended the category of "vision" and "perception," rising to the fourth dimension—time.
The changes in all things became increasingly predictable in his eyes.
However, these traces were not clear enough that what he could truly do seemed not much different from the Shattered Void time.
By manipulating "time," he could present Dao Techniques that would normally take "time" to prepare, ahead of their "time."
"Only Dao Techniques can be advanced; Immortal Techniques... that is, Origin Immortal Techniques, have to wait until the Path of Time also transforms into an Origin Dao Technique..."
Alkaid estimated, concluding, "This kind of transformation will only make me stronger against Integrate Dao Level opponents, but at the Venerable Dao Level... or in the realm of Immortal Techniques, it still has no impact."
Bullying the weak got faster.
When facing the strong, kneeling was still inevitable.
"Well, throughout history, a Dao Venerable emerges only every few hundred thousand years, and not all who do emerge will be in Northern Sea Star. The probability of encountering one is still very low..."
Alkaid spoke, pausing for a while.
Sensing the terrifying existence that rested upon the Great Void Path...
He promptly enhanced the progress of the branch of [Integrate Dao - Time], pushing its progress in one breath to a level of 10/10000.
Having done all that, he then turned his gaze towards the [Artifact Refining] branch.
"The cultivation of a Human Immortal relies heavily on external objects like Immortal Artifacts; without powerful enough Immortal Artifacts, even if I had 10 or even 100 shares of the Great Void Path, I would not be able to refine them. Therefore..."
A massive influx of "experience" swiftly flowed into the [Artifact Refining] branch, causing it to ascend rapidly to 100% of the Sixteenth Rank and complete the fruiting process.
After a brief pause, the process once again ascended, this time to the Seventeenth Rank.
At the Seventeenth Rank, the enhancement granted by one Dao Lord had dropped to about 10%.
However, considering he still had trillions worth of materials and assets at his disposal, he continued to pour all of the energy into this branch.
Finally...
At the moment when the energy was nearly depleted, the [Artifact Refining] branch that had just progressed to the Seventeenth Rank blossomed and bore fruit once more, then...
"Eighteenth Rank."
Alkaid whispered softly.
Such mastery in artifact refining...
Comparable to an Immortal King!
