"Senior," Ji Ning asked, "Might I ask what other external treasures exist in the Chaosverse which are of major benefit to someone attempting the Daomerge?"
Success in the Daomerge was a combination of two factors; internal and external. Internal referred to one's self and one's insights! Only if one reached a sufficiently high level of comprehension would one's chances increase.
External factors referred to special treasures which would improve one's chances, such as the Autarch's stone dais or the Stonefire Pearl.
What Ning was attempting was something which had never been successfully carried out… a Daomerge in an Omega Dao! No one in the history of the entire Chaosverse had ever successfully done such a thing, and so he naturally had to both perfect himself as well as acquire all external sources of help he could find. That way, his chances at the Daomerge would improve slightly.
