Dao Disciple, Dao King, Dao Emperor, Dao Saint, Dao Sovereign, Dao Monarch, Dao Celestial, Dao Immortal, Dao DemiGod, and Dao God, these were the ten realms of Dao Cultivation that had existed from time immemorial.
Nine minor Dao Rings make one major Dao Ring. This was something which everyone knew and was also the main reason why very few people dared to comprehend more than one dao at the same time.
In fact, if not for the fact that you could comprehend enough Dao to create multiple minor Dao RIngs at the same time, there might literally be no one who would enter these casinos which in a way didn't let you win even if you hit the jackpot.
After all, even though the chips were only related to the four Dao Laws of fire, water, wind, and lightning, when someone was exposed to a lot of that powder which other than stimulating and making it easier to comprehend those Daos, in a way that dust forced those who were being influenced by them to comprehend them at all costs.
This was the reason why Xiaxue chose to stick close to Jian Shen and not leave. This way, if she felt that Jian Shen was not able to handle the pressure and his dao rings were being corrupted by multiple daos and causing his cultivation to deviate, she could interfere and help him out by forcibly taking control of his body and us her own understanding of dao to stabilise his situation.
Even though doing this would make it hard for Jian Shen to properly comprehend those particular Dao Laws in the future, Xiaxue only cared about making Jian Shen grow stronger as fast as possible and not groom him into someone who could become a Dao God.
In fact, the only reason Xiaxue was trying to make Jian Shen grow stronger was because she would herself benefit if he became stronger.
As for grooming him into a heaven shaking expert, Xiaxue never once had such thoughts. After all, if he did become very powerful in the future, would she still be able to control him and keep him to herself?
Impossible!
With how greedy creatures dragons were, he'd definitely start fucking other women.
Smirking at how she would never let something lie that happen, Xiaxue found it surprising that she herself didn't know until today that she was such a jealous woman.
Looking towards Jian Shen, the dragon woman guessed that it was only because of whom he was that she was feeling like this. At the same time, she looked towards the jade bowl which was almost half empty by now and the forming Dao Ring around Jian Shen which was perfectly split into four colours all of which looked stable and were growing in size evenly.
Feeling a little guilty from seeing how talented he was and what she planned to do with him, Xiaxue hesitated a little and convinced herself that better than a single heaven shaking expert the better interest of their race as a whole lied in her using Jian Shen to give birth to as many pure-blooded Heavenly Dragons as possible.
…
It took Jian Shen a while to find the answers to his questions, but once he did that things couldn't become easier for him.
With his eyes closed and senses cut off from the outside world, Jian Shen's consciousness was now inside his upper dantian.
Looking towards the nine huge rings that were of the same size and floating one above the other, Jian Shen spotted the lowest ring separating into a total of nine different rings which were smaller than the eight rings which hadn't split for the time being.
Ignoring the eight big rings for the time being, Jian Shen focussed on the nine split rings when one of them began shining a little. Not entirely, but just a tiny part of the ring was shining and soon it no longer looked transparent and without any meaning and instead that small part was of a vibrant red colour.
"The Dao of Fire…"
Muttering to himself Jian Shen understood why it was that he failed to absorb the strands of Dao Laws.
One couldn't absorb Dao. One could only understand it. And when one did it, the empty dao rings inside them would be filled up with the dao they understood and become a dao law themself.
Smiling from thinking that dao cultivation was easier than he expected and that maybe he overestimated the difficulty, Jian Shen who was at the same time comprehending four different daos began trying to make the other three dao laws enter the remaining empty rings.
Unfortunately, his wish didn't come true as all of the other rings be it the big ones or the split ones remained completely unaffected. At the same time, Jian Shen was starting to frown since he felt that he'd explode if he didn't share the dao he was comprehending and filled empty dao rings with them.
But the problem was that he only had one dao ring to create the dao laws that he was comprehending continuously.
Due to this, Jian Shen was soon left with no choice other than to let the sole ring he could use right now to take in all the daos he was understanding. Therefore, in just a few seconds the ring which only had a small red part right now possessed four distinct parts made of four separate colours.
Sure the ring looked more beautiful and attractive right now, but Jian Shen was filled with a bad feeling when all of the colours were slowly increasing in size and approaching the area where they would come in contact with another colour.
