Some have even used acquired Daos to cultivate into Dao-achievers.
" The person he spoke of was the Kaihuang Shen Ye; Kaihuang Shen Ye had attained the Dao through the sword Dao, and his realm had reached the level of a Palace Master. "The essence is different. " Before Tai Yi could answer, Jiang Baigui explained, "The Jingping Reform created Daos that had never existed between heaven and earth, but their foundation, without exception, was runes.
The sword Dao seems to have no runes, but in truth every basic sword form is a sword Dao rune. The same is true of the saber Dao, the formation Dao, architecture, calligraphy and painting.
The acquired Daos also walk the road of the rune Dao founded by the Master of the Miluo Palace.
" Tai Yi continued, "The Heaven-Opening Host are different; they have completely abandoned the system of the rune Dao.
In Fellow Daoist Mu's Dao wounds, there are no foundational runes.
" Tai Shi suddenly understood. "The road they walk must be to seek out a world of the heavens, destroy it, reduce it to chaos, and then again and again open the heavens, destroy the world, open the heavens once more and destroy the world again, testing their various ideas. " Shen Mu said, "From their divine powers I sensed all kinds of terrifying thoughts; these thoughts make one's blood run cold and fill one with dread.
They. .
.
" He frowned and continued, "I cannot sense any humanity in their thoughts. But neither is it divinity or demonic nature. The thoughts hidden in their Dao divine powers—I can no longer describe them as human, divine, or demonic. " "This is the Heaven-Opening Host. " Tai Yi sighed and said, "It is also the reason I was unwilling to come into contact with them after returning to the past.
After all, they were once my fellow Daoists. " Through experiment after experiment, the Heaven-Opening Host had become something he no longer recognized.
"Evil.
" Kaihuang said abruptly, "They must be evil! " Tai Yi shook his head. "Not evil—evil cannot describe their state of mind either.
There is no evil intent in their hearts. " Heavenly Venerable Yue could not help saying, "Then Sister Ling.
. . " Heavenly Venerable Ling was her best friend, and the words of Shen Mu and Tai Yi made her worry for Heavenly Venerable Ling as well.
"Fellow Daoist Ling's talent is exceedingly high; she may not have fallen into such a state of mind.
" Tai Yi was not certain either, and said, "I have always felt that her talent is one of the few that can keep pace with mine. " Shen Mu coughed.
Tai Yi shook his head.
"You do not; you are a little short.
" Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua smiled, and Tai Yi said, "You are a little better than Fellow Daoist Mu, but still a little short.
" Xu Shenghua said, "As long as I am a little better than Sect Master Shen, I am already satisfied.
" Shen Mu snorted and said displeasedly, "Fellow Daoist Tai Yi has still not answered my question.
If the Heaven-Opening Host come to you, how will you respond?
Will you become the Lord of the Heavenly Capital and the leader of the Heaven-Opening Host, or will you stand with us?
" "I will not let them descend. " Tai Yi paused, then suddenly laughed.
"I am Tai Yi of the Seventeenth Epoch, one of the Innate Five Greats, and I have the duty to protect this universe—a duty I cannot shirk.
" "Well said!
" Tai Shi hastily applauded. Shen Mu breathed a sigh of relief; what he needed was Tai Yi's declaration.
Otherwise, if the Heaven-Opening Host attacked and Tai Yi defected to the enemy, it would be dire indeed.
Ling Yuxiu said worriedly, "Then the wounds on your body. . .
" Shen Mu laughed.
