Chapter 698: Above the Heavenly Dao (2)

After all, the items that dropped this time would at least be of the highest quality at the Daolord level. It might even drop a demigod-level item.
Under the anticipation and excitement in his heart, Xiao Shi quickly looked at the item in his hand. This item was shockingly very different from the items he had dropped in the past.
Before that, he had never dropped such an item before. It was an illusory and blurry vortex. It was filled with an extremely profound aura. When Xiao Shi’s gaze condensed on the vortex, he even felt as if he had seen the past. He could clearly sense the high standard of this vortex that surpassed his realm.
Soon, information about this item gradually appeared in his vision.
[Name: Beginner Martial Reflection Dao]
[Type: Dao]
[Grade: Daolord]
[Introduction: This is a unique Dao that is not between heaven and mortals. When every era experiences a ten-thousand-year period, there is a certain probability that this Dao will be born.]
[Remark 1: This Dao will not bring about any increase in strength. Even if you step into the Daolord realm on this Dao, your strength will be weaker than other Daolords.]
[Remark 2: With this, you can open the Door of Reflection of the Beginner Martial Era. This can allow a person to return to the Beginner Martial Era.]
[Remark 3: The Door of Reflection can only be opened once.]
Xiao Shi frowned slightly. From the way the first kills had always dropped, although this item was a Daolord-level item, it was definitely of the highest quality.
However, its relevant information made Xiao Shi feel that this item did not seem to be the highest quality Daolord-level item.
The key to becoming a Daolord from a Sage was mainly Dao. Only when a Sage successfully grasped the Dao could he become a Daolord. And the Dao in the Tianwu Continent was limited. Furthermore, most of the Dao had already been controlled by others. This was also the main reason why most Sages in the Tianwu Continent could not become Daolords. There was no extra Daos.
Once an ownerless Dao that no one controlled appeared, it would definitely immediately cause all the Sages to fight for it. It could be said that every Dao in the world had an indescribable shocking value.
And now, it was an item dropped by Xiao Shi. It was a kind of Dao in the world. But this Dao was very different from other Daos. Even though wielding this Dao could similarly allow one to become a Daolord, it would not bring about any increase in strength. It only had the effect of opening the Door of Reflection in the Beginner Martial Era. Furthermore, this so-called Door of Reflection could only be opened once. Only one person could enter it.
No matter how one looked at it, Xiao Shi felt that this Dao did not seem to be the highest-quality Daolord-level item. In his understanding, the truly powerful Dao should allow the Daolord who controlled the Dao to have unparalleled combat strength. It was not this kind of Dao that would not increase any combat strength.
Xiao Shi couldn’t help but frown. What was certain was that there would definitely be no problems with the first kill pattern. This item was definitely the highest quality Daolord-level item. There was no doubt about it.
“If that’s the case… I think this item contains important information that I don’t know!” Xiao Shi was deep in thought. Now, he only had a preliminary understanding of the Daolord Realm, including the “Dao” that the Daolord Realm had to control.
There were many things that he did not understand yet. The reason why he felt that this [Beginner Martial Reflection Path] was very ordinary was very likely because his understanding was not enough.
However, out of caution, he still did not rashly choose to control this Dao. He felt that the most important thing now was to understand as much as possible about the Dao in the Tianwu Continent.
“Unfortunately, there are no relevant books in the Martial Emperor’s treasure vault.” Xiao Shi shook his head regretfully. But soon, he thought of an item that had dropped this time.
This time, not only did Xiao Shi kill Cheng Riyou, the Daolord, but he also killed a few Sages through the Red Refined Corpses and dropped a few Sages-level items. Ordinary Sage-level items were no longer of much use to Xiao Shi, who was now the strongest Sage.
His combat strength was already unparalleled among Sages. Even if he obtained some Sage-level items that could increase his combat strength, there was not much meaning. However, among the Sage-level items that dropped this time, not all Sage-level items were items that could increase combat strength.
One of them was an item that could allow Xiao Shi to understand more about the Dao.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi immediately flipped his hand and took out this item. It was a completely black book. When his gaze focused on the book, information about this book immediately appeared in his vision.
[Name: Record of the Upper Three Realms of Martial Arts]
[Type: Books]
[Grade: Sage]
[Introduction: This is a book that records the upper three realms of martial arts. If you pay a certain price, you can obtain all relevant information about the upper three realms of martial arts from this book.]
[Remark 1: By sacrificing three Sage-level items, you can obtain all relevant information about the Daolord Realm.]
[Remark 2: By sacrificing two Daolord-level items, you can obtain all relevant information about demigods.]
[Remark 3: By sacrificing a demigod-level item, you can obtain all relevant information about the ninth realm of martial arts.]
This item only recorded all the relevant information about the upper three realms of the Martial Dao, and its level had directly reached the Sage level. It was enough to show that information about the upper three realms of martial arts was extremely valuable in the entire Tianwu Continent.
Usually, only forces like the Great Wu Empire, which ruled the entire Tianwu Continent, had information and information about the upper three realms of martial arts.
Although the three demigod Heavenly Kings knew a little, the information they had was far inferior to the Great Wu Empire’s. The remaining large and small factions had no information about the upper three realms of martial arts at all.
Even Xiao Shi could not find much information about the upper three realms of the Martial Dao with the Heavenly Mystery Eye. The information recorded in the Record of the Upper Three Realms of Martial Arts would be the most detailed information.
It even contained some important secrets that even the Great Wu Empire did not know. Because if he wanted to know about the Daolord Realm, he needed to sacrifice three Sage-level items. Coincidentally, he could sacrifice the three Sage-level items that he could not use.
Whoosh! After he successfully sacrificed these three Sage-level items, the Record of the Upper Three Realms of the Martial Dao in his hand immediately emitted a pitch-black light. This light gathered and surged into his glabella. This allowed Xiao Shi to directly obtain all the relevant information about the Daolord Realm.
From this, he understood that there were also some divisions in the Dao that existed in the world. It was mainly because of the difference between the Heavenly Dao and the mortal Dao. Among them, mortal Dao was divided into superior-class and inferior-class mortal Dao.
Basically, the Dao that all Daolords controlled was a mortal Dao. Usually, only one Heavenly Dao would appear in an era, and can only be controlled by the ruler of the era.
Which meant, the Heavenly Dao of the Great Wu Era had always been controlled by the Martial Emperor. However, once the person who controlled the Heavenly Dao died, the Heavenly Dao would completely dissipate and no longer exist. This also caused the current Tianwu Continent to no longer have the Heavenly Dao.
All Daolords wielded mortal Dao. And the current Beginner Martial Reflection Dao did not belong to the Heavenly Dao or the mortal Dao. It was the most special and unique Dao! Furthermore, such a Dao was extremely rare. It would take more than ten thousand years for an era to have a certain probability of giving birth to the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao.
For example, the current Great Wu Empire had been destroyed in less than ten thousand years, then it was destined that it was impossible for the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao to be born.
This made Xiao Shi realize that to a certain extent, the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao’s rarity was even above the Heavenly Dao!
