From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 281 The Great Dao Stele

You Ming killed hundreds of Dharma Aspect cultivators in one go, naturally winning first place in the third level.

Many cultivators looked at You Ming with complex emotions, some awe, some surprise, but none dared to easily show any contempt.

Especially those twelve disciples of the Immortal Path, who originally wanted to engage in this battle and thoroughly humiliate You Ming, are now all silent, having come to regard him as the greatest enemy they have ever faced.

With that endless array of swords, they simply couldn't think of any way to break through it in a direct confrontation.

Lu Yunlong was the last to leave the mirror platform. As the current successor of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, he had many acquaintances and friends in the cultivation world. Therefore, after You Ming left, he teamed up with others to specifically ambush and kill lone cultivators.

Therefore, they persisted until the very end.

However, You Ming didn't care. Even if you get a great score in the end, you can't possibly surpass me.

With He Yunlong's exit, the third trial was completely over.

With a flick of his sleeve, Lü Boyang caused light to rise in the void, and a rough stone tablet slowly emerged.

When they saw this stone tablet, almost everyone's eyes lit up with fervor.

The stele was nine zhang and nine chi tall, but less than three chi wide. Standing in the void, it seemed more like a pillar connecting heaven and earth than a stone stele.

The great Dao patterns meandered across it, dense and crisscrossing, each line obscure and difficult to understand, as if it were a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.

Legend has it that the Great Dao Stele contains the foundation of all the great Daos under heaven.

Lu Boyang looked at You Ming.

"You Ming excelled in all three trials and can be ranked first."

You Ming's eyes gleamed. Although he didn't know the specific effects of the Great Dao Stele, since so many people were flocking to it, it must have some merit.

As long as others can understand it normally, then I can naturally gain more by using a few cheat codes.

As Lu Boyang finished speaking, the lotus platform beneath everyone floated up, forming a spiral around the Great Dao Stele.

You Ming is closest to the location of the Great Dao Stele, He Yunlong is second, and Chen Xiujie is third.

Then, the others, according to their respective achievements, were also at different distances from the Great Dao Stele.

Once everyone's positions were determined, a faint Daoist aura emanated from the Dao Stele.

You Ming immediately held his breath and focused his gaze on the Great Dao Stele.

In an instant, he seemed to fall into a nameless state. Before his eyes, countless torrents rolled and branched out into countless tributaries, like great rivers.

Three thousand avenues.

In You Ming's vision, the three thousand rivers he saw represented the three thousand great paths between heaven and earth.

The more branches these great paths have, the more prosperous they are, and the more cultivators follow their lineage. Countless people have created scriptures, classics, books, methods, and techniques around this great path.

Some great paths are either currently unexplored or their lineages have been severed and no one cares about them, so they are just a solitary torrent with almost no branches.

You Ming's gaze fell only on one of the rather thick roads.

Tianhe Avenue.

Beneath this main road, countless branches branch out, each representing a scripture-level Dharma gate and a sacred place for cultivation.

The cultivation method that You Ming practiced was derived from the "Tide Source Limitless Scripture," a branch of the "Heavenly River Great Dao." When Qinglian Jun was born, he was fortunate enough to receive a sermon from an immortal, which was about the "Tide Source Limitless Scripture."

Unable to comprehend such profound cultivation methods due to her own limitations, she combined them with her own unique characteristics to create the [Mirror Lake Dream Weaving Divine Scripture].

Before she disintegrated, she used her own dream to recreate the scene of the immortal preaching, so that You Ming also had the opportunity to hear a few words of the "Tide Source Limitless Scripture".

The earliest practice of You Ming, the "Jianghai Chaosheng Baoce", also originated from the "Chaoyuan Wuji Jing", but it was the "Tingchao Zhuoxin Fadian" that was derived from the "Chaoyuan Wuji Jing".

On the day Qinglian Jun passed away, You Ming combined these methods to create the [Stabilizing Source and Dividing Meridians Divine Manual].

He was also lucky; these methods all originated from the Heavenly River Dao, so they could learn from each other and there was almost no conflict.

"Is this the Heavenly River Avenue?"

You Ming stared at the magnificent torrent surging forth before him, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

His current comprehension level is as high as 5 points, making him an absolute genius in the cultivation world. However, when he looks at the Heavenly River Great Dao, he doesn't gain any insight whatsoever.

He knew this was because the difference in their levels was too great, far beyond his current reach.

At least 5 points of comprehension are required.

However, he can observe the many [Scripture]-level branches under the Heavenly River Avenue. Although the comprehension is still slow, he will definitely gain a lot.

He could see that the [Tide Source Limitless Scripture] was prominently displayed there, and it was even quite robust, ranking among the top three of the many branches of the Heavenly River Avenue.

"So, they still have to cheat."

You Ming certainly didn't want to waste such a good opportunity to gain insight.

He then manipulated the compass, bringing up the "Equal Quantity Adjustment" and "Nest Flow Observation" techniques.

Appearance -5, Luck -3, Spirituality -4, Comprehension +8, Willpower +4.

Consciousness time flow rate is 30 times faster.

You Ming's comprehension level broke through to 13 in the blink of an eye, and his willpower was strengthened to 8 points.

This is the limit that Youming can achieve by using [Equal Adjustment].

If the intensity is increased further, the body will not be able to withstand it.

In an instant, Youming's brain split apart like a nebula, and trillions of Daoist thoughts flowed synchronously within his body.

Every aspect of his consciousness entered an extremely high-speed state, as if ten thousand interconnected selves were sitting together before the monument, beginning a frantic analysis.

At this moment, strands of Dao runes gradually shed their abstract shells in his eyes, transforming into streams of water and spiritual sources, falling into the inexhaustible ocean in his heart!
The [Tide Source Limitless Scripture], which was originally quite obscure in his eyes, seemed to have no obstacles at all.

He even turned his attention to the [Tianhe Avenue], although its contents were the most obscure, they were also the most fundamental principles.

As his comprehension was forcibly boosted to 13 points, the [Heavenly River Great Dao], which had previously had no effect on him, seemed to slowly peel away a layer of mystery, revealing some of the origins of the Great Dao.

In Youming's consciousness, countless rivers surged in from all directions, some as thin as trickles, some as swift as waterfalls, and even as black as ink, as thunderous as tides, and as fiery as liquid... Regardless of their source or nature, they all eventually flowed into a boundless sea.

The sea, however, neither rejects nor opposes, remaining calm as a mirror and embracing as vast as an abyss.

Each incoming river did not disturb its depth; instead, it was melted into one and transformed into itself.
