Chapter 3324: Where’s the Great Dao?

“Demoness Ji, Carefree and I ascended together 20,000 years ago. Although some of the others advanced to the Emperor realm, they did not choose to ascend.”

Lin Xuanji said, “However, after ascending to the major chiliocosm, the three of us split up. I descended in the southwest and the two of them disappeared.”

Su Zimo nodded to himself.

Since Carefree’s bloodline was atavistic, there was a high chance he was taken away by the Yin Yang Sanctuary.

As for Demoness Ji, he did not know where she was.

Lin Xuanji said, “Most of the people here are humans and they’re quite friendly to me. That’s why I wandered around and read books while asking about the major chiliocosm.”

“A few years ago, I heard about your battle in the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary. Later on, I heard that you became the Chaos Lord. I wanted to look for you in the southeast after my cultivation increased a little.”

At that point, Lin Xuanji sighed. “My cultivation realm is far behind yours again.”

At that moment, Lin Xuanji had yet to condense his Dao and was only at the perfected Emperor realm.

To be fair, his cultivation speed was not slow. It only seemed inferior because he was comparing against Su Zimo.

All these years, Su Zimo had stayed at the foot of Mount Xuan Pin every day and accompanied Die Yue. He was in no mood to cultivate and did not make any breakthroughs in his cultivation realm. He was still at the perfected Dao Comprehension realm.

Of course, there was a difference of a major cultivation realm between the Dao Comprehension realm and the Dao Hegemony realm to begin with.

Without any special opportunities, it would be difficult to break through.

Lin Xuanji stroked his chin. “I’ve been storytelling near Mount Xuan Pin all these years and heard that there’s a Mountain Chief here who knows everything. If I can get a few pointers from him, my cultivation realm might advance by leaps and bounds as well.”

Die Yue said, “Perfect, I’ll bring you guys to meet the Mountain Chief.”

Although Su Zimo had stayed at Mount Xuan Pin for 30,000 years, he had yet to meet this Mountain Chief.

The three of them arrived at a straw hut at the foot of the mountain and saw a white-haired old man sitting on a rocking chair with a relaxed expression, holding a tattered book in his hands.

Sensing the arrival of the three of them, the white-robed old man placed the tattered book in his hands casually at the side and nodded slightly at the three of them with a smile.

However, the corners of the white-robed old man’s eyes drooped and he had a bitter expression. Even though he was smiling, he looked a little depressed.

“Mountain Chief.”

The three of them bowed at the same time.

Su Zimo was curious about the Mountain Chief.

The reason why the Evil Lady could send Die Yue’s reincarnated self thousands of kilometers here was definitely because she trusted this Mountain Chief enough.

He just did not know what the relationship between the Mountain Chief and the Evil Lady was.

“Senior, I’ve encountered a bottleneck in the Expansion Great Dao I’m cultivating.”

Lin Xuanji grinned. “I heard that you’re knowledgeable and know everything. Even Saints can’t compare to you. I wonder if you can give me some pointers?”

No matter what, Lin Xuanji’s first action was to praise him the moment he arrived.

The Mountain Chief said, “There are 50 Expansion Great Daos and 49 of them are used. If you want to condense the Expansion Great Dao, you have to find the one that escaped.”

“Where should I head to look for the one that escaped?”

Lin Xuanji said, “The Great Dao is formless and illusory. It’s not like divine powers or Dharmic arts that are within reach and can be seen everywhere.”

“Of course.”

The Mountain Chief shook his head. “Although the Great Dao is formless, it’s ubiquitous.”

“The Great Dao is ubiquitous?”

Lin Xuanji was at a loss. “Why do you say that? Why can’t I see it? Don’t make it sound so mysterious. You have to give me a specific location, right?”

Pausing for a moment, Lin Xuanji winked and asked, “Senior, do you have any secret grounds or ruins here that have traces of the Great Dao left behind so that I can comprehend them? Hehe!”

The Mountain Chief said, “The Dao is among the ants.”

“Huh?”

Lin Xuanji was stunned.

As long as one was at the level of the Dao, their power could penetrate the heavens and overturn the seas. How could the Dao be among the ants?

The Mountain Chief glanced outside and swept his gaze across the fields, forests and streams. “The Dao is in the fields, forests and mountains.”

Lin Xuanji scratched his head in confusion and asked, “Mountain Chief, how can the Great Dao be among such lowly and ordinary things?”

“The Dao is in the bricks and tiles.”

The Mountain Chief did not answer and continued.

Lin Xuanji could not help but roll his eyes and mutter, “Good lord, everything is getting even worse.”

The Mountain Chief burst into laughter. “The Dao is in feces!”

Lin Xuanji was speechless when he heard that. He turned around and pulled Su Zimo away, wanting to leave as he muttered, “This old man is just playing a fool by acting crazy. He’s not willing to impart the Dao.”

How could the 3,000 Great Daos be in feces?

Although Lin Xuanji tugged at Su Zimo, the latter did not budge.

At that moment, Su Zimo frowned slightly and was in deep thought.

“You…”

Just as Lin Xuanji was about to speak, Die Yue waved her robes gently and pushed him away, shaking her head at him, indicating for him not to disturb Su Zimo.

What was going on?

Lin Xuanji was at a loss.

Could something truly be comprehended from the nonsense of the old man?

For Su Zimo, the Mountain Chief’s words had indeed let him see everything from an unprecedented perspective.

The 3,000 Great Daos were ubiquitous.

Even the most humble and insignificant thing contained the maxims of the Great Dao.

The Earth Great Dao was in the fields, sowing seeds and nurturing life, containing the Life Great Dao as well.

When vegetation withered, they contained the Wither Great Dao.

The changing of seasons, the alternation of day and night, the experiencing of wind, frost, rain and snow… These were all Great Daos!

Right now, Su Zimo finally understood. The fisherman, woodcutter and farmer he saw at the start who were fishing, logging and farming, every single move they made was compatible with the Great Daos.

They had long mastered their Great Daos to the peak and perfection!

It was even more so for the Chaos Great Dao.

Chaos derived everything and everything belonged to chaos.

Traces of the Chaos Great Dao could be found in everything.

In the past, Su Zimo wanted to find some things related to chaos to comprehend the Chaos Great Dao. However, that in itself led him further from the Dao.

Everything he could see, sense and hear contained the Chaos Great Dao!

At that moment, Su Zimo felt that everything around him seemed to be disappearing.

As time passed, the village no longer resembled a village, the trees no longer resembled trees and the rivers no longer resembled rivers…

Everything was fading and finally turned into chaos.

However, he was standing in the chaos!

Boom!

A loud bang sounded from his body, as though something had shattered.

The next moment, the Chaos World vanished.

The world was the Dao and the Dao was the world.

The Chaos World fused with the Chaos Great Dao and became everything he could control.

Although the Chaos World vanished, it was ubiquitous!

Su Zimo finally broke through.

He had attained lesser mastery of the Dao Hegemony realm and became a Dao Supremacy!

The power of his Essence Spirit increased exponentially as well and reached the level of a Paramount Supremacy!

Right now, even without the power of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could suppress experts like Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng!

Su Zimo opened his eyes and was enveloped by night.

The rocking chair in front was empty and the Mountain Chief was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Xuanji was gone as well.

Die Yue was the only one who stood nearby, protecting him.

“They…”

Initially, Su Zimo wanted to thank the Mountain Chief. However, he quickly realized something and asked, “How long has it been?”

Die Yue smiled. “About a month.”

“Ah!”

Su Zimo was stunned for a moment before shaking his head with a bitter smile.

In his perception, everything that happened earlier on seemed to have happened in a few breaths.

Unexpectedly, time passed and the entire breakthrough process lasted for a month.

However, Die Yue stood guard by him the entire time.
