Chapter 1901 Dao Pattern System
The Lord of the Dao Domain unleashed boundless power with every wave of his hand and step, demonstrating a profound and thorough understanding of the various Great Daos.

The Dragon Ancestor and the Primordial Ancestor were clearly inferior to him and were temporarily defeated by him.

The Dragon Ancestor's blood surged, and the Primordial Ancestor's complexion was also not good.

At this moment, the Lord of the Dao Domain grabbed Li Yanchu. His grab was very clever. Li Yanchu turned into golden light and tried to escape, but he was caught and dragged into the boundless space-time.

He appeared to have been captured by the Lord of the Dao Domain, but in reality, he was in a special space-time, which surprised Li Yanchu.

The Lord of the Dao Domain's outburst, which forced back two of the world's strongest figures and captured Li Yanchu, made him the most prominent figure in the land.

Then, a path leading to the end of the Dao appeared beneath the feet of the Dao Lord. He retreated continuously and calmly said, "This child is destined to be with my Dao Domain. Gentlemen, I will take my leave first."

Yuanzu's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sternly, "Leave the person here!"

She rushed forward recklessly, mobilizing the Great Dao within her body, and a Path of the End appeared beneath her feet, attempting to connect with the Path of the End of the Dao of the Dao Domain Lord.

But the Lord of the Dao Domain remained calm and unhurried.

Just then, an extremely powerful force suddenly came from behind Yuanzu.

Yuanzu angrily said, "Dragon Ancestor, you have no principles and you're always thinking about taking advantage of others."

In her haste, she was struck by the Dragon Ancestor and suffered a loss.

The Dragon Ancestor laughed and drifted away, saying, "Whether or not I invite him to be my guest is not my biggest concern. What makes me happy is seeing you all die one by one."

Then his figure floated away, leaving Yuanzu with an uncertain expression.

At this moment, the Lord of the Dao Domain had already left via the Path to the End of the Dao.

Even if Yuanzu catches up with him, he is probably no match for him.

“He is stronger than before.” Yuanzu’s expression was grave.

Before Li Yanchu was captured and left through the Path of No Return, he witnessed this outrageous event.

He turned to look at the Lord of the Dao Domain and said, "You knew all along that the Dragon Ancestor would make a move?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "The Dragon Ancestor is extremely cruel, but he is also very good at assessing situations. Just now I showed my strength, and he was unsure of what to do, so he naturally wouldn't chase after me rashly. In this situation, how can we maximize our benefits? Of course, we should ambush the Primordial Ancestor."

Li Yanchu was truly amazed and said, "Dragon Ancestor is a real talent."

He then asked curiously, "What kind of supernatural power did you use?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain smiled and said, "I call them Dao Patterns."

Li Yanchu asked, "Dao patterns?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, “That’s right. I tried to interpret a certain Dao with Dao patterns. I just left such a Dao pattern in your body. Your Dao operation has a problem. When I activated the Dao pattern, the two resonated and captured you. Of course… it sounds simple, but it is actually much more complicated and not so easy to succeed. It can only be said to be a stroke of luck.”

He was very pleased to have captured Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu asked, "Did you create this?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "That's right. Dao patterns can be used to interpret all the Great Daos in the world, and I only need ten Dao patterns for each Great Dao."

Li Yanchu said, "I didn't expect your research on the Great Dao to be so thorough."

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "As long as you calm down and study it, the essence of the Great Dao will gradually be revealed to you. It is something that will captivate you."

Li Yanchu said, "Now you look like a seeker of the Way."

The Lord of the Dao Domain glanced at Li Yanchu and said, "I have always been a seeker of the Dao, only my methods are different."

Li Yanchu said, "It also includes harming beings in other universes, and even destroying a universe at will, just to deduce a certain Great Dao?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "That was done by people from the Dao of Calamity and the Dao of Annihilation."

Li Yanchu said, "You don't even have this much responsibility. If you don't allow it, how dare they act recklessly?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain asked in surprise, "Why should I stop them? In your eyes, it is evil, but in my eyes, these beings are as fleeting as mayflies. The lifespan of the universe is also very short. What difference does it make if we are a step earlier or a step later?"

Li Yanchu smiled and then stopped talking.

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "You don't seem like someone who would easily bow down."

Li Yanchu said, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you."

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "What a fine saying, 'Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.' What I fear most is that some people pretend to be like-minded, but betray you at crucial moments."

Li Yanchu said, "From what you're saying, you've been betrayed? I'd love to hear about that painful past."

Seeing him remain calm and composed despite being in danger, his composure is truly admirable.

The Lord of the Dao Domain was also momentarily dazed, but he shook his head and said, "It's not that I was betrayed, but that I betrayed someone at a crucial moment."

"..." Li Yanchu remained silent, his expression growing increasingly strange.

The fact that the Lord of the Dao Domain spoke of this matter so frankly made Li Yanchu feel even more threatened by this person.

The Lord of the Dao Domain brought Li Yanchu to the Dao Domain.

Returning here again, Li Yanchu couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

In his attempt to rescue the people of Jingjie from entering the Dao Domain, he faced numerous difficulties. He was imprisoned before even meeting Mang Daoren and had no choice but to fight his way out.

Later, after many twists and turns, he became the crown prince of the old land, with Shao Hongjun as his backer. However, Shao Hongjun was then killed by Bai Junwu.

After arriving in the Dao Domain, Li Yan couldn't help but want to destroy something.

Recalling Bai Junwu's actions only fueled his murderous intent.

The Lord of the Dao Domain led Li Yanchu to the small temple in the core area of ​​the Dao Domain.

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "You may rest here for the time being."

Li Yanchu asked, "Is this the temple of the Mysterious Woman True King?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "Indeed, the Dao pattern system I created still needs some talented people to study it with me and help me reach a higher level."

Li Yanchu said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll learn your Dao pattern system and then turn against you?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "If that's the case, I'll be very pleased. I hope you can use my Dao pattern system to conquer the Great Void, flatten the True Era Heaven, the Realm Ruins, the Old Land, and other places. As long as the inheritance is not destroyed, I will not perish either."

Li Yanchu remained silent for a long time before finally saying slowly, "You're a madman."

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "I embarked on the path of cultivation to escape the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death, and gave up fleeting pleasures in pursuit of immortality. However, when I reached a high level of cultivation, I found that I still could not escape the calamity and annihilation. Even the most powerful universe could not escape the danger of destruction. I think this is wrong."

Li Yanchu looked at him quietly without saying a word.

The Lord of the Dao Domain continued, “What is true immortality? We are all immortal now, but if we cannot escape the calamity and annihilation within us, we cannot be considered truly immortal. I hope you can work with me to promote this Dao rune system.” Li Yanchu said, “I’m afraid the first thing you’ll do after you succeed in cultivating it is to kill me.”

The Lord of the Dao Domain shook his head: "I don't know either."

Li Yanchu sneered, "You are honest, or perhaps extremely cunning."

The Lord of the Dao Domain laughed and said, "These two completely different evaluations have appeared on me, but I think what you said makes sense."

Then, the Lord of the Dao Domain became solemn and cupped his hands towards Li Yanchu, saying, "I hope Fellow Daoist Li will study the Dao pattern system with me."

Li Yanchu said, "Go ahead and teach me, and see if I can learn it in the shortest amount of time and kill you."

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "If I didn't have this magnanimity, I wouldn't be worthy of being the Lord of the Dao Domain."

He then explained the mysteries of Dao patterns to Li Yanchu. At first, Li Yanchu was somewhat resistant, but gradually he was also attracted by the Dao pattern system.

The Lord of the Dao Domain has indeed set a precedent in history. If this system is followed, one can interpret and deduce a Great Dao simply by comprehending ten Dao patterns.

Li Yanchu said, "This is another variation of the evidence-based approach."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Dao Domain sighed, "You are my fellow traveler, and everyone else is a fool. Now I have handed over my Dao rune system to you. If you fail to comprehend it, I will kill you."

Li Yanchu said, "You're really confident? Well then, let's wait and see."

The Lord of the Dao Domain turned and left.

He wasn't afraid of Li Yanchu escaping. With his cultivation level, as long as Li Yanchu hadn't comprehended the Dao pattern system, he wouldn't be able to fight against him. There was no need to worry about Li Yanchu causing any trouble.

Li Yanchu is now surrounded by enemies. The people of the Old Land want to kill him, the Dragon Ancestor of Zhenjitian has ulterior motives, and the Primordial Ancestor of the Realm Ruins is too enthusiastic, which makes people uneasy. Not to mention this powerful Dao Domain Lord.

Li Yanchu was thus able to settle down and stay in the temple without any worries.

However, he found the temple extremely displeasing, and after staying there for a few days, Li Yanchu razed it to the ground.

"A Taoist temple should be built instead."

As soon as Li Yanchu finished speaking, a Taoist temple was erected on this spot.

With his level of cultivation, doing this kind of thing would not be difficult.

However, the area in front of the Taoist temple was empty, lacking a plaque.

Li Yanchu thought for a moment, then extended his finger, unleashing a burst of finger power to imprint the profound mystery of a primordial divine ability previously used by the Dao Domain Lord onto it, writing three large characters in a flowing, phoenix-like style.

Zhenwu Temple.

When the Lord of the Dao Domain came to see Li Yanchu, he saw the three large characters "Zhenwu Temple" and stood there for a long time. Then he asked, "Why was it named this?"

Li Yanchu said, "In my hometown, there is a Northern Demon-Slaying Ancestor who is stationed in the north. He is called Zhenwu and has slain all the evil demons in the world. I also want to kill you and destroy this Dao Domain."

The Lord of the Dao Domain reached out to try to erase these three words, but was forced back by the divine power left behind by Li Yanchu.

Although he could forcibly erase the three large characters, he smiled and didn't continue.
"You are named Zhenwu, so I suppose what you value most is the martial arts."

Li Yanchu asked, "Can martial arts, a great path acquired through practice, also be explained using the Dao pattern system?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain was taken aback upon hearing this.

He had been studying various innate Daos, which numbered in the tens of thousands, so he had no interest in studying acquired Daos.

He then said, “If you have a way to interpret this acquired principle, then go ahead and do it. Tell me what you need, and I will do my best to assist you.”

Li Yanchu said, "What if I need you to die?"

The Lord of the Dao Domain smiled and said, "No, I will support you to the greatest extent possible, but I am unwilling to die for the pursuit of the Dao."

Li Yanchu sneered: "You are not a true seeker of the Dao. You will surely die on the path of seeking the Dao."

His words were brief and powerful, but the Lord of the Dao Domain changed his expression upon hearing them, and forced a smile, saying, "Then let's wait and see."

Li Yanchu settled down here to heal his injuries.

He discovered that this Dao pattern was indeed extraordinary.

It has long been discovered that the Great Dao is composed of Dao patterns, therefore, the Dao pattern system claimed by the Lord of the Dao Domain was created by him. In Li Yanchu's view, this is somewhat shameless.
He can only be said to have innovated upon the footsteps of his predecessors.

Using ten Dao patterns to interpret a single Dao is truly unheard of.

Li Yanchu was extremely talented. He didn't need to master the other Great Daos. He only spent a month transforming the Dao patterns that interpreted the Chaos Great Dao into three.

It should be known that ten Dao patterns is already the limit, and even the Lord of the Dao Domain cannot reduce it slightly. However, unexpectedly, Li Yanchu interpreted the Great Dao of Chaos with only three Dao patterns after only three months of study.

The Lord of the Dao Domain was somewhat surprised: "You are truly remarkable."

Li Yanchu said, "It's just that you're too stupid."

He then explained to the Lord of the Dao Domain how to interpret and simplify this rune.

The Lord of the Dao Domain said, "I have benefited greatly from your words. Many problems that have been holding me back seem to you to be no problem at all."

Then he smiled and shook his head: "Amazing!"

Li Yanchu said, "This is nothing special. It's just an interpretation of the Great Dao of Chaos, and it also has three Dao patterns."

The Lord of the Dao Domain was very much looking forward to it, and then withdrew.

A month later, Li Yanchu was able to interpret the Great Dao of Chaos with a single Dao pattern.

The reason he chose chaos instead of studying the martial arts or the path of slaughter that he had mastered was because chaos has the most powerful characteristics; all things perish and return to chaos.

Therefore, Li Yanchu thought that if he could interpret the Great Dao of Chaos, would the other Great Daos be difficult to interpret?
Unbeknownst to him, he had interpreted all the great Daos he had mastered using Dao patterns, simplifying them into individual Dao patterns.

When the Lord of the Dao Domain came to inquire, Li Yanchu only said that he had simplified the Great Dao of Chaos to two Dao patterns.

In just two months, the Lord of the Dao Domain was overjoyed and hurriedly listened to Li Yanchu's explanation before going back to deduce the results on his own.

It was indeed very difficult for Li Yanchu to leave a flaw in his technique.

The Lord of the Dao Domain did not accept Li Yanchu's deductions in their entirety; he merely extracted the essence and drew upon them.

Simplifying the Dao patterns in a short period of time will not affect the power of the Great Dao, so Li Yanchu is not worried that the Dao Domain Lord's cultivation will increase dramatically as a result.

Otherwise, the chasm between the two of them would never be bridged.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Yanchu had already been able to construct and interpret all the Great Daos using a single Dao pattern, but he still felt something was amiss and was often lost in thought.

The Lord of the Dao Domain visited him several times. Seeing Li Yanchu seemingly lost in a meditative state, he felt a pang of envy but did not disturb him before leaving.
