Chapter 711: Opening the Door of Reflection (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Time was of the essence. It made Xiao Shi not want to wait another day. It was extremely difficult to reach the ninth realm of martial arts faster than the three demigod Heavenly Kings.
Only he would have such crazy thoughts in the entire Tianwu Continent. He had to grasp every minute and second! So Xiao Shi began to take the initiative to help Xiang Zizhen control the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao.
It greatly shortened the time the other party took to control the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao. It originally needed to take ten days, and now, it was shortened to five days.
Finally, after Xiang Zizhen successfully took control of the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao, he transcended and became a Daolord. He was also the first Daolord born in Xiao Shi’s Fifth Domain.
Although the transcendence brought about by the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao did not increase Xiang Zizhen’s strength much, to Xiang Zizhen, it was a huge change from before. It was a difference in life level. It made people feel like ants looking up at a huge dragon.
A large part of the reason why a Sage became a Daolord was called transcendence was because of this.
Not only was there a difference of one realm between the Daolord and the Sage, but it was also the difference between the upper three realms and the intermediate three realms of martial arts.
The difference between the two seemed to be only one realm. In reality, the difference was like heaven and earth. Even Xiao Shi could clearly sense the difference in their life levels when facing Xiang Zizhen.
This difference would bring about an invisible suppression, which was a suppression on the level of life. It was also a suppression of the cultivation realm. This suppression was not deliberately released by Xiang Zizhen. Instead, every martial artist in the intermediate three realms would feel the suppression when facing these martial artists in the upper three realms.
When the difference in cultivation between the two sides increased, this suppression would become stronger. For example, the suppression a demigod brought to Sages could make Sages tremble and kneel with a thought without even needing to attack.
This was also the reason why the three demigod Heavenly Kings looked down on Xiao Shi. A mere Sage, be it cultivation realm or life level, was all ants in their eyes!
Apart from allowing Xiang Zizhen to have these changes, Daolord’s transcendence also had another obvious change. That was Xiang Zizhen’s domain. After he became a Daolord, it instantly became different!
Its entire domain has not only expanded, it was also filled with a powerful aura that belonged to the Daolord. It was different from the domain of ordinary Sages.
Xiao Shi even felt that if Xiang Zizhen’s domain could improve further, he would almost be able to reach the level of a large domain.
Under normal circumstances, if one could cultivate all the way to the demigod level, their domain could basically expand to the point of approaching a large domain. However, this was only the situation of ordinary martial artists.
For example, Xiao Shi had already controlled a large region in the Sage realm. It was hard to imagine what his domain would become when he became a demigod!
Not only that, after Xiang Zizhen’s domain changed, Xiao Shi’s large domain had also improved. After all, Xiang Zizhen’s domain was in Xiao Shi’s region and was a part of this region. Therefore, when any domain in Xiao Shi’s large domain increased, his strength would also increase accordingly.
This was also an important reason why those demigods, despite knowing that they couldn’t establish a new dynasty, were desperately trying to integrate the territories of the lords outside into their own domains.
The more Sages and Daolords there were in his territory, the stronger the enhancement the entire domain could obtain. Now, Xiao Shi even felt that he could use a portion of the Daolord’s power through Xiang Zizhen’s domain. This made him very shocked.
Xiang Zizhen’s Daolord Domain was not the first Daolord Domain in Xiao Shi’s large domain. Back then, when he moved the many domains of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect from the Imperial Domain to his own domain, the first thing he moved was the Daolord Domain that belonged to Chen Yuan.
Unfortunately, with Chen Yuan’s death, his Daolord Domain lost its power. Otherwise, Xiao Shi would already be able to use a portion of the Daolord’s power. Because Xiang Zizhen’s Beginner Martial Reflection Dao did not increase his combat strength much, the Daolord power that Xiao Shi could use was very limited.
But Xiang Zizhen’s transcendence made Xiao Shi experience the enhancement brought about by the Daolord Domain for the first time.
“From the looks of it, apart from being powerful, the three demigod Heavenly Kings also have the augmentation brought about by their domains.”
The three demigod Heavenly Kings had Daolords in their domains, and there was more than one. Once they merged the territories of those lords into their own domains, they would obtain a greater enhancement.
In terms of the enhancement brought by the large domain, he was clearly inferior to the three demigod Heavenly Kings. However, as Xiao Shi’s realm increased and more Sages or Daolords appeared in his domain, his domain could also bring him huge support.
Compared to the domains of the three demigod Heavenly Kings, Xiao Shi’s territory clearly had a greater growth potential. Especially since he was only a Sage and already controlled a large domain. He really wanted to know what his large domain would become when he became a demigod.
Xiao Shi was filled with anticipation..
