"You did not leave seclusion, but your schemes incited Nine Extreme Daoyuan experts to fight, spilling blood and causing chaos in the Ancient Chaos World. You have been rewarded with a ten thousand-mile Dao path extension."
???
It was an unexpected surprise!
Battles between the Nine Extreme Daoyuan experts?
What was the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm?
Chu Xuan guessed that Tiangou Zheng and Long Chang were both Nine Extreme Daoyuan experts, and that the same was true for the demon and celestial race experts.
He wondered what the strength gap between himself and them was.
Chu Xuan suddenly understood why Yang had left.
It turned out that a great battle had broken out.
Was Yang also a Nine Extreme Daoyuan expert?
It was unknown which unlucky person had actually suffered from this.
Could it be the dragon race expert behind the Azure Dragon tribe's genius?
Had the two hidden experts he deceived teamed up to attack the dragon?
There was a high probability of this being the case.
What a pitiful dragon!
Chu Xuan mourned for him.
Still, there was no mention of death, so that dragon was likely still alive. As expected of a dragon!
After some thought, Chu Xuan felt that it was time to find new scapegoats.
His goal was to make them fight each other.
Only then would he have a higher chance of triggering the system's reward, which was unbelievable this time.
10,000-mile Dao path extension!
He had passed the threshold in an instant.
There would be a process of qualitative change when he accepted the reward.
Chu Xuan was filled with excitement. He was finally going to become a true Daoyuan realm expert, though it was also just the beginning.
After this, he would speed up the progress of the Heavenly Dao laws infiltrating the Desolate Ancient Zone, primordial land, and heavenly domain. He would also construct the reincarnation cycle.
After that was done, he would be able to begin the process of the Heavenly Dao laws devouring the Great Dao.
As for the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm, Chu Xuan had a guess.
After nine qualitative changes, would one achieve the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm?
If the first qualitative change happened at the 10,000-mile mark, did that mean that Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm experts had 90,000-mile long Dao paths?
It was very likely.
Chu Xuan took a deep breath.
He still had a long way to go.
Chu Xuan thought about it and received the system reward.
Boom!
His Dao path expanded and extended. In the blink of an eye, it had become 9,999 miles long.
However, at this point, it stopped.
Chu Xuan was momentarily stunned, but then, a surge of insights began to fill his mind.
Then, the Dao path that he had opened up actually began to condense. Gradually, the Dao path, which had been 9,999 miles long, turned into a little light, like a star.
After that, it burst with brilliant light, and a new Dao path appeared. Then, it began to rapidly expand and extend.
One hundred miles…
One thousand miles…
Boom!
Ten thousand miles!
The moment it reached that mark, a qualitative change happened, and his Dao path became stronger and more stable.
In the end, his Dao path only stopped extending and expanding when it reached the 16,000-mile mark.
There seemed to be a star revolving above the Dao path. This was the first Extreme Daoyuan!
He had truly graduated from the beginner levels of the Daoyuan realm.
Chu Xuan woke up from his state of enlightenment and inhaled deeply.
So this was how it actually was!
The 10,000-mile mark was like a barrier. In order to complete a qualitative change, one first had to condense one's Dao path into a star. Then, using this as a foundation, one could extend their Dao path to 10,000 miles.
He had taken the first step. However, even though his Dao path was stronger and more stable, extending it by normal means was still as difficult as before.
Chu Xuan exhaled. It was truly hard to extend one's Dao path.
Countless cultivators were stuck at the 9,999-mile mark, unable to advance an inch. They could not figure out how to condense their Dao path into a star, and even if they did, it took ages.
Furthermore, if they failed to condense the star, their Dao path would be damaged, and they might even be severely injured.
Looking at his own Dao path, Chu Xuan was filled with emotions. He really had to thank the system.
16,000-mile long Dao path!
He was only 4,000 miles short of the second qualitative change.
Another question popped up in his head.
What was after the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm?
Was 99,999 miles the limit of one's Dao path, after which they had to sever their Dao path from the Great Dao?
Chu Xuan was puzzled. What role did the Great Dao play in restricting cultivation?
Or were there other factors?
Chu Xuan decided to ask Daoist Flying Cloud when he had the opportunity.
Not all of the hidden experts who had plans in the nine zones were Nine Extreme Daoyuan experts.
Were the others also trying to sever their Dao paths from the Great Dao?
Obviously not.
If one had not reached the Nine Extreme Daoyuan realm, one would probably not be able to sever one's Dao path from the Great Dao.
Chu Xuan looked up at the sky. He vaguely speculated as to what the stars were.
The stars in the starry sky of the nine zones might be the origin of those experts' Dao paths. Therefore, without all nine stars, one would not be able to touch the star that was the origin of their Dao path.
Chu Xuan became excited. If the Heavenly Dao laws devoured the Great Dao, then would he not be in control of their Dao paths?
It was exciting just thinking about it.
