Mo Qianyue brought out a large black shiny stone from her spatial ring. The stone didn't exude any aura and looked quite ordinary, but it couldn't pass Mo Shen's eyes.
"Dao stone?" Mo Shen said in a calm tone, amidst surprised. Although it was indeed very shocking, it didn't make him lose his composure.
Dao stones are like spiritual crystals. They contained no spiritual energy, but the dao aura in them was very concentrated. They could be used to comprehend the dao. They are usually very rare, and could only be found in 7th, 8th and 9th Heavens. How could it have appeared in the 3rd Heaven.
After pondering for a while, Mo Shen had his own thought on it. Although he wasn't 100% sure of it, he knew it might not be too far off from the real thing.
For millions of years, the dao aura here has been sealed, and people can't enter the dao, the dao here became too concentrated, forming Dao stones. Mo Shen was sure that there would definitely be plenty of them.
With the Dao stones, people could now comprehend the dao. It might also be the world trying to preserve itself by giving birth to higher cultivators, otherwise, in the next 1-2 million years, this world might go extinct naturally.
As a 3rd Heaven world, if it doesn't produce cultivators that have comprehended the dao, it's state will be getting bad. Due to the amplified dao energy in the main Dao Universe world, the spiritual energy was gradually getting thinner. It probably led the world to create dao stone mines as an outlet for the excess dao energy.
All worlds need a balance, especially worlds with people living in it. Mo Shen didn't doubt that the Dao Battlefield world might not contain a shred of spiritual energy and might only be filled with dao energy. A world like that which was not for habitation was quite good for comprehending the dao. When it filters all spiritual energy, and the only thing in the air was dao energy, it would be difficult to spend a year there and not enter the dao.
But, only people that have comprehended the dao could enter the Dao Battlefield, if not, it would have been the perfect place for people to enter the dao.
Mo Shen turned back his attention to the dao stone in his aunt's hand.
The only drawback to the dao stones were that they needed someone who had entered the Dao to be unlocked, otherwise, they'll just remain like that forever.
"What are Dao stones?" Mo Qianyue asked Mo Shen seeing as he had recovered from his thoughts. "Are they good stuff?"
"They can help someone enter the Dao. Tell me, are they good or not?" Mo Shen said a bit jokingly with a light smile.
"What?" Mo Qianyue shouted in shock. She was shocked out of her composure. It was no surprise as everyone knew how hard it was to enter the dao. No one had entered the Dao for millions of years in this world.
"They are really a rare something. It's quite surprising that it appeared in this world. Did you see many of them?" Mo Shen inquired as he took the stone from her hands to give it a closer look.
"There were a lot. Around ten billion of them. I had a feeling they weren't ordinary stuff as it helped me breakthrough 2 stages in one go, so I took everything." Mo Qianyue explained as she brought out 10 spatial rings from a small pouch on her waist.
Mo Shen scanned the rings with his spiritual sense and discovered that there were over 1 billion dao stones in each ring.
"The only limitation of the stone is that it requires someone who has entered the dao to unlock them, otherwise they'll just be useless stones." Mo Shen informed her. It was like cold water had poured over her, washing away her previous excitement.
"It's just like a hungry man seeing a table of food, but not having mouth to eat it." Mo Qianyue said dejectedly.
The next moment, her eyes were filled with shock. Mo Shen used his dao aura to unlock the stone in just a second. Although she had never felt the aura of the dao before, as she felt the aura exuding from the stone, she instantly knew it was the aura of the dao.
"You... You..." She was rendered speechless. "You've entered the dao?"
Mo Shen nodded. Initially he had never planned to reveal any of his strength to her, even if she was family. But when he saw the Dao stone, he knew he had to get some for his parents.
"Can you help me unlock some, about 1 million? I'll give you the rest." Mo Qianyue asked. She knew without Mo Shen, she would never know about the stone, not to talk of using it. And 1 million was just a ten-thousandth of the whole stuff.
"Of course I can, but don't think I'm cheating you. Even if I unlock everything for you, you might not be able to use 1% of it in your whole life." Mo Shen said.
"These are top grade dao stones, unless someone is supreme genius, he might not even be able to finish 1 in months. The average genius would find it hard to finish 1 in 2 months, but with your talent, you should be able to use 1 in less than 2 months for now, until you progress much further."
"What of you? Like how many can you use in a year?" Mo Qianyue inquired.
Mo Shen smiled lightly. "With my current state in the dao, I can use about 10 in a day if I concentrate thoroughly. But I won't be using it at present, it's not suitable for me now." Mo Shen said.
His current priority in the dao was to comprehend more supreme daos to the peak of the first stage. Dao stones were used to comprehend the dao as a whole, that is entering the dao, or to improve one's comprehension of their dao. Right now, Mo Shen had still not formed his dao. He was only comprehending these supreme daos till the peak of the first stage, not making it his own. At the end of the day, he was still going to combine them all to form his Divine throne dao.
Even then, he might still not use it. He would rather comprehend the dao with his efforts, even though it would take longer, it was still going to be worth it, after all with his comprehension speed, what might take others 100 years to comprehend, he can do so in 1 month.
At the same time, it wasn't really detrimental to use dao stones to comprehend the dao. In fact it was a helpful process that was used in places where they could be found. It usually accelerates the process of comprehension. But if your comprehension ability is bad, no matter how many dao stones you use, it would be useless.
Mo Shen was diving into a new dao. He was aiming to comprehend a dao that could rule over others, how could he take any shortcuts. He had to go through each and every step of the process to make sure his dao stands above all.
Mo Qianyue took Mo Shen into a large room in the library. There he emptied out one million Dao stones and used his Dao to unlock them at the same time. The process didn't take much time.Mo Qianyue was dumbfounded when she saw this. Initially, she thought he would do it one by one, and it will take a few days to complete it. Who knew that in a matter of seconds, he was already done.Her thinking wasn't exactly incorrect. An average cultivator who has just a normal dao will only have to do the one by one. After all, those who comprehend the Supreme dao are one in a billion. Even those with Supreme dao wouldn't be able to unlock more than 1000 at once. It was because Mo Shen had the capacity to comprehend multiple daos, and he had already delved fully into 8 of them. His mental state also added to his perfect control of his dao."I'm done aunt." Mo Shen said as he saw that his aunt was in a daze. He put all the dao stones into a storage ring and gave it to her. "I'm going to read some books." Mo Shen said as he left the room."What kind of books are you looking for?" Mo Qianyue asked."Nothing in particular. I plan to read everything on this floor first." Mo Shen told her without turning backMo Qianyue went back to her seat and sat down, looking at Mo Shen's back view, wondering how this nephew of hers had cultivated so fast.Remembering his cold eyes that seemed so natural like he was born with it, she knew he must have had some extraordinary circumstance at his birth, which might also include the reason why he was sent to the lower world at birth. "It seems no ordinary woman can catch his eyes, not even those Heavenly prides in our academy. Perhaps, only that his fiancée can barely match up to him."Mo Shen entered the main library room scanning around. He didn't know what his aunt was thinking nor did he care to know. Right now, all he wanted to do was to finish all the books here. If his soul had reached the Universe Lord realm, he would have been able to scan the whole library with his spiritual sense in a matter of seconds. Even now, if he wanted, he could scan all the books on this floor in less than 5 seconds, but that would take the fun from it. To him, each and every process could be said to be a comprehension of his dao and a cultivation of his mental state.It was also one of the reasons why he enrolled for many courses in the academy, especially non-combat courses. Doing activities without cultivation and with patience was comprehension in its art.He walked up to the first shelf and picked up the first two books in his 2 hands, sat down on a nearby chair and began to read them at the same time.After he was able to synchronise the Demon bones and ancient god heart, he had been barely able to do 2 things at the same time. Like using 2 different skills at the same time, with his two hands.He wanted to train it more, so he decided to read 2 books at the same time, training his eyes to take in things independently of the other. He had already planned to train that ability further by learning dual-wielding of the sword.The academy library didn't have a closing time, it was always open. Mo Shen stayed there for 2 whole days till it was time for classes to start. With his training, he was able to finish all the books in the 9th floor within those 2 days.This didn't mean the library didn't have much books. The 9th floor had the smallest amount of books. There were only about 10% of the books in the 8th floor. The 9th floor mainly consisted of the best martial techniques and the most important content in the academy, like some secret history.As he was leaving the 9th floor, he saw that the keeper was another person. It was a middle-aged man with dark red hair. He was in the 4th stage of the Empyrean realm. He was most likely a member of the royal family seeing his hair."Good day instructor." Mo Shen greeted him emotionlessly as he walked past. All of a sudden, he came to a stop as he was about to leave the room.He felt the man's aura pressing down on him. Although it wasn't something that could affect him in the least, he was still surprised. He had never met the man, so what was up with the rudeness.He began to consider if he should just kill the man. Although he wasn't annoyed, but he didn't like such an unnecessary bother.
