Chapter 1487: Chapter 1488: Dao Clashes

Ao Tian didn’t spend much time rushing through the River of Time with Su Chengyu, as even with Ao Tian’s current strength, he couldn’t maintain it for long.

Moreover, Ao Tian knew Su Chengyu was in an even worse condition than himself, and after landing, it was up to him to ensure Su Chengyu’s safety.

In a secluded cave, Ao Tian revealed his true form, placed Su Chengyu on the ground, then shrank down to the appearance he had when Su Chengyu first met him.

This scene made Su Chengyu somewhat nostalgic, and he couldn’t help but tease: "You haven’t overexerted yourself in this battle and fallen back to a Big Monster level, have you?"

"Get lost, I’m just a bit exhausted, even if I’m weak now, I’m still much better off than you."

"Really?"

Su Chengyu looked down at his body and blinked, "I think I’m fine."

Compared to the last time he used the Immortal Decapitating Sword in the Capital City, his condition now seemed much better.

"Of course, I know your life is not in danger, but how many times has your body endured the backlash from the Power of the Great Dao? Although I don’t know what secret technique you’ve cultivated that gave you a physique comparable to the Hollow Void Realm, the conflict among various Dao powers inside you is a hidden injury. If you truly enter the Hollow Void Realm, you’ll suffer a lot."

"What do you mean?"

Su Chengyu asked in confusion.

Ao Tian glanced at him and said, "You’ve used more than one type of Dao power, haven’t you?"

Su Chengyu nodded: "I was fortunate to have obtained a Hongmeng Heavenly Book once, that was the first time I gained some understanding of the Road of Destiny, and I also mastered the method of incorporating this Dao into my sword momentum. Then there’s the Dao of Destruction inherent in the Wasteland Battle Halberd, the Way of Cause and Effect I saw inside Mengmeng, and more..."

"Stop, stop, stop, haven’t you heard of biting off more than you can chew?"

Su Chengyu blinked, "I think, I probably understand that."

"You know nothing!"

Ao Tian bluntly said: "Do you think people who cultivate only choose one Heavenly Dao because they can’t touch others?"

"Isn’t that the case?"

Ao Tian was momentarily speechless, then finally said, "Yes, for most, even if they become an Immortal, they might not manage to control a flair of Dao power for their own use, but in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, there are numerous geniuses. Do you really think there are none who can grasp two, three, or even four types of Dao powers?"

Su Chengyu blinked without replying.

"Let’s not talk about distant ones, just take the owner of that Immortal Artifact in your hand, Immortal Monarch Tianshang. I have never met this Fairy Monarch, but from the Dharma Body just now, it seems he himself mastered a trace of the Power of Dao of Destruction, and that is also the same as the Dao of Destruction inherent in the Wasteland Battle Halberd. Why is that?"

"Isn’t it because he only mastered the Dao of Destruction?"

"Are you picking a fight?"

Unable to hold back, Ao Tian said, "You can use the Wasteland Battle Technique, which harnesses the Power of Destruction. If Immortal Monarch Tianshang wanted, couldn’t he create another Immortal Artifact that contains another Dao power?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu finally realized—the effects of Dao powers differ. Although he only vaguely sensed it now, he could be sure that being able to use two types of Dao powers simultaneously would definitely allow for more possibilities.

"Why is that?"

"Because Daos conflict."

Ao Tian slowly explained: "Cultivators focus on the harmony of yin and yang in their practice, but even so, each cultivator’s mana still leans in different directions.

Those who truly achieve harmony of yin and yang in their mana are extremely rare, let alone integrating multiple Dao powers into one without them conflicting.

And you... after mastering one Dao, are not yet satisfied. Right now, I see at least five seeds of Dao powers in you. How can you choose one Dao to forge your path to ascension and become an Immortal?"

"Five paths?"

Su Chengyu was startled upon hearing this word, then quickly began to account for them.

The Road of Destiny he had comprehended from the Hongmeng Heavenly Book, which had by now even been integrated into the Immortal Decapitating Sword, he knew of.

The Road of Destruction had just been directly transmitted to him by Immortal Monarch Tianshang, and he indeed felt becoming the core of the Slayer Sword Technique.

Following that, the only other things that Su Chengyu had some contact with were the glimpses of the Way of Cause and Effect, and certainly the Road of Creation associated with the Heaven-Mending Stone.

All things considered, Su Chengyu could find no trace of a fifth Dao seed, his heart filled with doubt, he turned his gaze towards Ao Tian.

"Which five paths?"

"Who am I to ask if not myself? Don’t even mention now, even at my peak, I never mastered even a single Power of the Great Dao."

Ao Tian said this with even greater frustration.

Even when he was at the Heavenly Immortal realm, he hadn’t even touched the threshold of his own Dao; he couldn’t understand how this youngster Su Chengyu, who hadn’t even secured his ascension path, could be favored by five Heavenly Daos.

Truly, comparisons can drive one mad.

Su Chengyu blinked and reassured himself, "Even with five types, wouldn’t it be fine if I utilized them properly?"

"How can you not understand human speech?"

Ao Tian’s expression turned sour, momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, the Heaven-Mending Stone also came flying out, murmuring: "It’s not that it isn’t possible, but that you can’t achieve it."

"Why?"

Su Chengyu asked, puzzled.

"Heavenly Daos can naturally coexist, like Yin and Yang, they restrain each other yet can also generate one another. However, the Powers of the Great Dao are profoundly mysterious. On the path of cultivation, if Yin and Yang are misaligned, at most it results in entering demonic paths, at worst one might fall in realm or even have to cultivate anew. But once the Powers of the Great Dao form a conflicting force within one’s body, you are surely doomed. Don’t mention a Daluo Golden Immortal, even if an Immortal Emperor comes, they couldn’t save you."

Seeing the Heaven-Mending Stone appear, Ao Tian’s face lit up as he said, "It’s good to see you again, senior."

"Yes, little Azure Dragon has grown well, almost catching up to this Immortal Stone."

Heaven-Mending Stone nodded at Ao Tian, the words carrying not just courtesy but a genuine acknowledgment of Ao Tian.

After all, this time their escape was largely thanks to Ao Tian’s method of using his own body as a shuttle, traveling through the river of time.

"Senior is too polite."

While Ao Tian’s mouth spoke pleasantries, the smile on his face couldn’t be concealed.

Heaven-Mending Stone couldn’t be bothered to talk more with this overly delighted fellow and turned to Su Chengyu, "I didn’t bother telling you earlier, thinking that mastering one or two at best was your limit. But who knew that this time, two more Dao embryos would suddenly develop within you, truly catching even me off guard."

"I understand, I will be careful. But just manifesting them as sword techniques, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem, right?"

"In theory, there’s none, but every instance of Dao backlash is completely different, different Dao backlashes could geometrically increase the load on your body. Although you’ve previously managed to hold up using the Hollow Void realm’s body, in my opinion, if there is a third Dao backlash affecting you, your body of Hollow Void realm won’t be sufficient."

"If Hollow Void isn’t enough, then an Immortal Body!"

Su Chengyu decisively said, blinking.

After Immortal Decapitation, Su Chengyu originally hadn’t hoped that every single one of his sword techniques would contain the power of a Great Dao. But now, just as the fledgling Slayer Sword showed signs of integrating the Power of Destruction, it became difficult for Su Chengyu not to think about imbuing every sword technique he created with the power of a Great Dao.
