Chapter 179 - Chapter 179 – The Three Thousand Daos and Three Thousand Dao Bodies, The Dao Lecture of the Celestial Venerables

Sadius was currently sorting through the laws of Heaven and Earth within this world.

When Hongmeng created this universe, he once again followed the path of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

Thus, the foundational framework of this universe wasn't much different from that of the original Coiling Dragon Universe.

As an Overgod of the Coiling Dragon Universe, Sadius found it quite easy to organize the laws of this universe.

After all, he merely had to imitate the structure of the Coiling Dragon Universe—drawing the cat by copying the tiger.

One by one, the great Daos were drawn out by Sadius:

Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Light, Darkness, and Lightning—seven elemental laws.

Life and Death, Karma, Order and Chaos, Good and Evil, the Seven Emotions, and Six Desires—six grand Daos.

All the laws of Heaven and Earth were encompassed by Sadius.

Sadius divided the laws of Heaven and Earth into Three Thousand Daos, encompassing both the seven elemental laws and the six grand Daos.

However, Sadius faintly sensed that the Three Thousand Daos weren't so simple.

In the Coiling Dragon Universe, the profound mysteries of laws of the same type could be fused together.

If so, then logically, the Three Thousand Daos in this universe could also be woven together independently, depending on their nature.

Suddenly, realization dawned on Sadius.

Soon after, the Three Thousand Daos turned into threads in his hands.

Sadius first separated all the Earth-type Daos.

Then, he began experimenting with weaving together the Earth-type Daos.

After all, even before becoming an Overgod, Sadius' talent in Earth-type laws was considerable.

Although there were differences between the Earth-type laws of the two universes, with Sadius' talent, drawing analogies was not difficult.

Sadius attempted for quite some time, but the Earth-type laws were still hard to weave together.

He understood—he hadn't yet found the true method of interweaving them.

After continuous trial and error, Sadius finally gained some insight.

He realized that he had to choose one core law, using it as the main thread, and wrap the other Earth-type laws around it as supporting threads.

Weaving laws couldn't be done haphazardly—it required a plan, or rather, a fixed methodology.

Otherwise, a single misstep could lead to a deadlock, preventing any further progress.

It was just like how, in the Coiling Dragon Universe, after refining a Divine Spark, further comprehension of profound mysteries became much harder.

Fortunately, as an Overgod, Sadius found laws exceedingly simple to comprehend.

Naturally, he could easily weave them together.

Time flowed steadily.

The Earth-type laws were woven into a net in Sadius' hands.

When the final Earth-type law was woven into place, a beam of golden light surged into Sadius' body.

Sadius felt a reduction in the universe's rejection toward him.

"So this is the perfection of laws in this universe?"

As he examined the woven net of Earth-type laws in his hand, Sadius realized its power was comparable to the sixfold fusion of a single elemental law in the Coiling Dragon Universe.

At the same time, he also comprehended a deeper truth—

Only by weaving all seven elemental laws and six grand Daos into nets would this universe become truly complete.

Luckily, as an Overgod, weaving these Dao webs wasn't difficult for him.

One by one, Sadius wove the thirteen Daos into separate nets.

Each time a Dao web was completed, a beam of light flowed into his body.

When all thirteen Dao webs were complete—

Suddenly, the laws of Heaven and Earth in this universe emitted a strange fluctuation.

A majestic voice echoed throughout the cosmos:

"When the Daos are complete, the Heavenly Dao manifests!"

The laws of this universe began to evolve and slowly condensed into a vague humanoid figure.

This form was indistinct, somewhat resembling the four Overgods formed by the laws of the Coiling Dragon Universe.

In the original Coiling Dragon Universe, the four Overgods were incarnations of laws.

But this universe had no Overgods—only a Heavenly Dao formed by its rules.

The vague figure that appeared before Sadius was this universe's Heavenly Dao.

"The Heavenly Dao greets you, fellow Daoists," the Heavenly Dao said calmly.

It was merely the manifestation of universal laws, like a segment of code—so it didn't speak excessively.

Ignis, hearing the voice, finally opened his eyes.

He gazed at the phantom before him and understood that this was the equivalent of the "Overgod" in this world.

Ignis couldn't help but marvel at Sadius' ability—

He had actually caused this universe's laws of Heaven and Earth to evolve and manifest into a Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, Ignis was still working on deducing how the physical bodies of beings in this universe should be strengthened after attaining immortality.

Sadius then offered a suggestion:

"Ignis, this universe contains Three Thousand Daos. Why not create Dao Bodies for each Dao, so that cultivators can complement their practice with innate affinity? What do you think?"

Ignis felt this was an excellent idea and nodded immediately.

"Then I shall create Three Thousand Dao Bodies, each corresponding to one of the Three Thousand Daos,"

Ignis declared decisively.

A Dao Body was a physique that allowed cultivators to naturally attune to a certain Dao—

Much like how Divine Beasts could comprehend a profound mystery upon reaching adulthood and become deities.

Cultivators possessing a Dao Body could steadily cultivate to become immortals without any bottlenecks prior to their ascension.

Once immortal, they could use the core Dao contained within their Dao Body to weave their own Dao web.

As the Dao web became more refined, the strength of the Dao Body would also increase, eventually reaching a perfect state, on par with a Sovereign artifact-grade physical body from the Coiling Dragon Universe.

Ignis continuously created various Dao Bodies.

Each of the Three Thousand Daos now had a corresponding Dao Body—three thousand Dao Bodies in total.

Golden light continuously emanated from Ignis's body.

Only then did the two realize that this was the Merit Light of the universe, similar to the Power of Will of the Coiling Dragon Universe.

But this merit light was of little use to them—after all, they were already Overgods.

After Ignis completed the creation of the Three Thousand Dao Bodies, the Heavenly Dao phantom spoke again:

"Fellow Daoists, please go to the Immortal Realm to preach the Dao."

Immortal Realm?

The two were surprised—this universe actually had a so-called Immortal Realm?

The Heavenly Dao phantom waved its hand, and a teleportation formation appeared.

The two followed the Heavenly Dao and stepped into the formation.

Soon, they appeared in another space.

"These seven planets likely represent the seven elemental Dao Immortal Realms, and those six planes must correspond to the six grand Dao Immortal Realms," Sadius said as he gazed at the seven planets and six vast planes floating in space.

The thirteen Immortal Realms existed in the same region, separated from other ordinary star systems by terrifying cosmic storms.

Even between the thirteen Immortal Realms, the distance was immense.

From afar, other realms looked like mere stars in the sky.

The Heavenly Dao phantom waved its hand again—

Transmission formations appeared on each of the thirteen Immortal Realms.

At the same time, on planets across countless star systems throughout the universe, a teleportation formation appeared on one planet per system.

"Teleportation formations have been established. All beings at the True Immortal Realm may use them to travel to the Thirteen Immortal Realms," the Heavenly Dao phantom's voice echoed again throughout the cosmos.

Every single cultivator who had reached the level of immortality heard this voice.

All were stirred with excitement.

The Immortal Realm!

It had to be far greater than the worlds they currently lived on.

At this moment, two more voices resounded through the universe:

"I am the Heavenly Venerate of the Dao of Immortality."

"I am the Heavenly Venerate of the Divine Dao."

"Ten years from now, within the Thirteen Immortal Realms, we shall preach on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. Any True Immortal may attend and listen."
