Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

216. Chapter 216 Stone Lock! Cost!

"Wait, what do you mean by saying that in order to reach the True Holy Realm, one must comprehend at least three complete Great Dao Laws?" Liu Zimo's mind returned, and he suddenly asked Yao Lingling.

Yao Lingling was puzzled and looked at Liu Zimo without understanding.

[This foolish little master, could it be that he doesn't even know the basic conditions for breaking through to the Holy Realm?]

[Oh, right!]

[After all, he's just a rookie who has been cultivating for less than two years... What the hell!]

[Damn it, can a normal person who has been cultivating for two years have a sea of consciousness spanning millions of square kilometers and be able to easily kill a top-level quasi-saint?]

[If it weren't for the recent recovery of the spiritual energy in this realm, and if the world's structure hadn't limited his perspective, he wouldn't even be ignorant of these basic cultivation common sense!]

[If such a monstrous genius had been born and lived in the Illusory Demon Realm from birth, then the Illusory Demon Realm would probably have long ceased to have any problems with the demon race, right?]

[...]

Yao Lingling habitually complained in its mind, with fluctuating thoughts.

But on the surface, when it saw Liu Zimo staring at it, it quickly replied respectfully:

"This is the basic condition for ordinary cultivators to break through to the Holy Realm and step into the extraordinary!"

"Only by comprehending three complete Great Dao Laws and incorporating them into one's body can one have the opportunity to attract the Heavenly Dao's trial and break through to the extraordinary in one fell swoop!"

Liu Zimo fell silent on the spot.

So, all he needed to do was comprehend three complete Great Dao Laws to successfully break through.

But...

Damn it, he has already comprehended a total of eighty-one complete Great Dao Laws!

Why hasn't that so-called Heavenly Dao's trial arrived yet, and why is he still stuck in the quasi-saint realm without making any progress?

Seeing Liu Zimo's gloomy expression, Yao Lingling quickly spoke up to persuade him:

"Of course, it is not easy for ordinary quasi-saints to comprehend complete Great Dao Laws. Many people, even in their entire lives, can only comprehend one or two at most."

"Those who can successfully comprehend three Great Dao Laws and break through are few and far between!"

"So, master, you don't need to be so anxious, after all, you have been cultivating for a short time..."

When Yao Lingling said this, it felt a bit unable to continue, feeling a bit depressed.

A monstrous genius who broke through to the top-level quasi-saint in just a year and a half of cultivation, did it still need a "useless" like it to advise and comfort him?

Has anyone ever asked what kind of mood it was in when it said these words?

"It's just three Great Dao Laws, I have already comprehended them a long time ago, so why hasn't the Heavenly Dao's trial arrived?" Liu Zimo asked Yao Lingling again.

Yao Lingling didn't even think about it and directly replied, "Master, you misunderstood. I was talking about three complete versions of the Great Dao's laws!"

"Although Master has comprehended and condensed a considerable amount of the power of the laws, they are all incomplete laws of the Great Dao. Only by supplementing them all and causing resonance with the Great Dao can one gain recognition from the Great Dao!"

Indeed, there were many condensed powers of the laws in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness, and Yao Lingling had sensed them long ago.

However, instinctively, Yao Lingling directly regarded them as incomplete powers of the Great Dao's laws.

After all, under normal circumstances, there was no quasi-saint who could comprehend so many complete laws of the Great Dao in just half a year.

In fact, in Yao Lingling's eyes, it was already a miracle that Liu Zimo could comprehend and condense so many incomplete powers of the laws.

Liu Zimo looked at the small lobster speechlessly.

Even the distinction between incomplete and complete powers of the Great Dao's laws couldn't be made by this small lobster.

However, considering that it had just stepped into the quasi-saint realm and hadn't even comprehended a single incomplete law of the Great Dao, it was not difficult to understand why it said so.

Even though Yao Lingling had the bloodline inheritance, allowing it to have a head start and understand the key to breaking through to the True Saint realm.

But theory was still just theory.

Without truly comprehending and mastering the complete laws of the Great Dao, no matter how rich the theoretical experience was, it was difficult to recognize what the true laws of the Great Dao were like.

So, what was the reason?

Liu Zimo couldn't quite understand.

He had successfully comprehended a total of eighty-one complete laws of the Great Dao, which was twenty-seven times more than what a normal quasi-saint breakthrough required!

Why hadn't he received the test of the Great Dao and broken through to the Saint realm?

"Oh, there's more!"

Yao Lingling seemed to remember something and spoke again.

"In my inherited memory, there seems to be a mention that those who break through with strength are not included in this category."

"It seems to say that cultivators who break through by force can only continue to prove the Dao with their strength and are not subject to the test of the Great Dao's laws!"

Liu Zimo: "..."

So, this is the real reason why even though he comprehended a total of eighty-one complete laws of the Great Dao, he didn't successfully break through to the Saint realm?

This is forcing him to continue on the path of breaking through with strength!

Fortunately, Liu Zimo had already planned for this. Now that he knew the truth about breaking through to the Saint realm, although he felt a little disappointed, he was not too discouraged.

After all, breaking through with strength might be extremely difficult and seemingly unattainable for others.

But for someone like Liu Zimo who possesses the ability to "steal the heavens," it's just a matter of binding a few more "good brothers" and "good sisters," or harvesting a few more leeks. And, the benefits obtained after breaking through the realm of strength are also obvious. The foundation is extremely solid, and the strength far surpasses the same level. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is invincible at the same level. Liu Zimo has already obtained practical verification of this point from Li Daoyan, Wan Kun Demon Lord, and Tianyuan True Man. Liu Zimo believes that as long as he breaks through the realm of strength and successfully advances to the realm of sainthood, he will definitely become the most dazzling one in the realm of sainthood!

"But then again, it seems too simple to only need to comprehend three complete grand dao principles to successfully advance to the realm of sainthood, right?"

"In that case, true saints like Xian'ao Demon Saint shouldn't have comprehended many grand dao principles themselves, right?"

Liu Zimo's gaze couldn't help but fall on Xian'ao Demon Saint in the void.

Then, a faint fluctuation of probing-type grand dao principles emerged and extended into the void.

"Hmm? He didn't notice at all?"

Seeing the grand dao principles approaching, but Xian'ao Demon Saint showed no abnormal reaction.

Liu Zimo's eyes brightened, and he murmured softly to himself:

"It seems that this Xian'ao Demon Saint has not comprehended this kind of probing-type grand dao principles."

"Or maybe his current cultivation realm is really suppressed and restricted, so his reaction becomes so dull!"

After a trial control, Liu Zimo decisively sent this trace of grand dao principle fluctuation into Xian'ao Demon Saint's body.

Soon, the principles gently swayed, and the information was transmitted back.

Xian'ao Demon Saint's current cultivation realm, the number and types of grand dao principles he has comprehended, all quietly transmitted back.

[Name]: Xian'ao Demon Saint

[Species]: Golden Turtle

[Age]: Four hundred and fifty-six thousand nine hundred and eight

[Cultivation Realm]: Realm of Sainthood (Incomplete)

[Grand Dao Principles]: Life, Defense, Water, Ice, Earth (Incomplete), Time (Incomplete), Yin and Yang (Incomplete)

Unexpectedly, the information transmitted back by the probing of the principles could automatically list it, clearly and distinctly displaying some basic information of Xian'ao Demon Saint in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness.

"Seven grand dao principles, three of which are incomplete!"

Liu Zimo lightly pursed his lips and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

An ancient relic who has lived for over four hundred thousand years has only comprehended four complete versions of grand dao principles. It's really too weak!

At least, in front of Liu Zimo, who has comprehended a total of eighty-one complete grand dao principles, the number of principles Xian'ao Demon Saint has comprehended is completely inadequate!

"Its cultivation seems to be greatly suppressed!"

"Just as Yao Lingling said, the spiritual energy in the Earth Realm has just recovered, and the laws have not yet fully evolved. It is obvious that it does not possess the conditions to accommodate true holy realm experts!"

"Now that the Xian'ao Yao Sheng has forcibly returned, its cultivation is suppressed below the holy realm, which is reasonable!"

Liu Zimo's mind surged.

After understanding the true strength of the Xian'ao Yao Sheng and the Dao laws it comprehended, his courage also swelled.

It seems like he can really have some fun with this Xian'ao Yao Sheng!

Thinking like this, Liu Zimo once again infused two strands of Yin-Yang Dao power, two strands of Concealment Dao power, and two strands of Dark Dao power into his body, ensuring that his aura would not leak in the slightest.

Feeling that everything was in order, he quietly got up and carefully moved to the void not far from the Xian'ao Yao Sheng.

Just as he arrived, he habitually looked up at the lock shadow floating above the Xian'ao Yao Sheng's head.

Liu Zimo directly froze on the spot.

It wasn't a purple lock, there were no auspicious clouds, and there was no purple radiance soaring into the sky, shining for thousands of miles.

The lock shadow floating above the Xian'ao Yao Sheng's head was actually a simple and unadorned gray stone lock!

That's right!

There was no trace of metallic luster, and there were no extraordinary phenomena.

It looked just like a real stone lock, with a simple and clear texture, giving the feeling that it could be easily taken down with a lift of the hand.

"What's going on?"

Liu Zimo felt a bit confused.

He didn't expect that the lock shadow above the head of a true holy realm expert would be so simple and unadorned.

Is this the legendary restrained brilliance, returning to simplicity?

With a thought, Liu Zimo tried to lock onto this stone lock as well.

Buzz!

A violent roar and shockwave erupted in his sea of consciousness, causing his spiritual power accumulated over a hundred years to suddenly disappear.

Then, Liu Zimo heard a light sound of "pa," and saw the stone lock above the Xian'ao Yao Sheng's head successfully lock on.

At the same time, a familiar prompt sounded in his ears again:

[Binding successful! Your spirit pet Xian'ao Yao Sheng has come online. You can currently bind spirit beasts (68/100).]

Binding successful!

However, the cost was consuming Liu Zimo's spiritual power cultivation of about a hundred years.

This was a situation that had never happened before! (End of this chapter)
