MARTIAL PEAK 5983

In Mu’s Space-Time River, Yang Kai’s figure was wrapped up in his own Space-Time River, using its power to greedily devour everything around him.

The water of the river was the manifestation of the Great Dao, and every current and wave was the result of the Great Dao’s turbulence. As time passed, the size of Yang Kai’s Space-Time River became larger, while Mu’s river became smaller.

Although it was a coincidence, it was undeniable that Yang Kai and Mu had embarked on the same path, and it was because of this that Mu’s countless years of waiting and vigilance had become meaningful.

Because she had opened the Profound Gate in the past, Mu’s river had become incomplete and her future path had been cut off, making it difficult for her to pry into the mysteries of higher levels of Martial Dao.

As such, she had left her hopes for the future.

In the trum card she left behind, her own Space-Time River was her final gift.

However, it would take some time to completely convert this gift into strength.

She probably hadn’t expected that Yang Kai would receive so much recognition from the Shadows.

Under normal circumstances, in the three thousand Universe Worlds, if the Ink Force occupy the world and have the absolute advantage and there is no hope to seal Black Ink's Source, Yang Kai don't have to waste his time in that Universe World.

However, during his previous journey, Yang Kai had tried his best to find all the surviving Shadows, and with the original intention of helping them escape from the bitter sea, he had brought them out of the Universe World.

The disappearance of each Shadows was a sign of Mu’s approval of Yang Kai.

After crossing 2700 worlds, Yang Kai had at least obtained the acknowledgement of two thousand Shadow Clones, a massive number.

This greatly increased the efficiency of his absorption and refining of Mu’s Space-Time River.

Yang Kai’s long river physique continued to grow, allowing his mastery of many Great Daos to rapidly increase. All kinds of profound insights emerged in his mind, causing intense sparks to fly.

Yang Kai was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

This refreshing feeling of being able to see the Great Dao was a fatal temptation to any cultivator.

The Great Dao was the ultimate truth of this world, the ultimate goal of a cultivator’s pursuit. If one were to completely immerse themselves in it, it was extremely likely they would forget everything and become one with the Great Dao.

Therefore, Yang Kai’s current situation was not very good. On the one hand, he had to resist the attraction of the Great Dao to himself, and on the other hand, he had to absorb and refine it as much as possible to enhance his own Great Dao.

He tried his best to maintain his balance and refine it with the greatest efficiency while maintaining his clarity of mind, carefully not allowing himself to sink.

At a certain moment, Yang Kai’s mind suddenly trembled as he suddenly felt as if the clouds had parted and he could see the blue sky. As if the barrier preventing him from becoming stronger is opening.

He understood that his attainments in the Dao of Time had reached the Ninth Stage!

For a long time, the strength of a cultivator was determined by their cultivation level. From First Order to Ninth Order Open Heaven, each level is stronger than the other. It was clear at a glance.

However, there was a very serious problem with this division, and that was that Open Heaven Stage cultivators of the same grade would often have a huge gap in strength.

This difference came from the length of one’s cultivation, the strength of the Small Universe’s foundation, and… one’s comprehension of the Great Dao.

The Open Heaven Stage involved the comprehension of one’s Great Dao foundation, so the higher one’s attainments in a particular Great Dao, the stronger their strength would be.

But from ancient times until now, no one had been able to give a clear answer as to how the Great Dao was divided.

Yang Kai had once divided his Great Dao attainments into nine levels according to his own growth.

Superficial knowledge, get a glimpse of the door, entering the door, familiar with it, mastered/integrated, outstanding, technical champion, peaked, superb, and shaking the ancient and dazzling the present.

This was his own classification. It had never been circulated in the outside world, nor had it been recognized by anyone.

[MSN: Huh? Wasn't it already used when he open the secret realms?]

But he still felt that this division was correct.

The Great Dao he majored in was the Dao of Time and Space, which was also the foundation of the Space-Time River, but even with his attainments in the Great Dao and many opportunities, after so many years, he had only cultivated the Dao of Space and Time to the Eighth Stage.

As for how to break through to the Ninth Stage, Yang Kai had no idea.

However, he had a faint feeling that if his mastery of the Space-Time Great Dao could break through to the Ninth Stage, there would definitely be some miraculous changes.

Today, after swallowing and refining Mu’s long river’s power and using the gift of his ancestors as a foundation, Yang Kai finally broke through to the Ninth Stage!

It was the Dao of Time! It was not the Dao of Space he had expected.

He was slightly stunned. After all, he had originally cultivated the Dao of Space, and the reason why he was able to obtain such great achievements in the Dao of Time was mainly because of his Dragon Vein.

The Dragon Clan’s Natal Great Dao was the Dao of Time.

In an instant, Yang Kai's mind was immersed in a wondrous state of enlightenment. As he stood in the middle of the Space-Time River, he lifted his hand slightly, seemingly able to grasp the passing of time!

In the past, although his Space-Time River could accelerate the flow of time and allow him to cultivate ten times more efficiently in the outside world, the flow of time was uncontrollable.

Now, he had complete control!

With the increase in his mastery of the Dao of Time, even Yang Kai’s Dragon Vein began to boil, and he couldn’t help raising his head and letting out a dragon roar as his dragon scales and dragon body expanded!

At this moment, his Dragon Vein had actually improved greatly.

This was a pleasant surprise.

However, before Yang Kai could feel more joy, his second Great Dao also broke through to the Ninth Stage.

This time, it was the Dao of Space!

A large number of wonderful insights appeared out of thin air, causing Yang Kai’s mind to become muddled, as if he had been forcefully stuffed into a great many Great Dao truths he had never understood before. All of the truths of this world were now open to him.

He quickly activated the power of the Soul Warming Lotus, not caring if it would work.

A refreshing feeling emerged in his mind, making him feel slightly better.

With his mastery of the Space-Time Great Dao breaking through to the Ninth Stage, Yang Kai’s Space-Time River became even larger.

Originally, his Space-Time River was like a small blade of grass compared to Mu’s.

However, after such a long period of swallowing and refining, his long river had finally grown from a blade of grass to a bush.

The giant tree was still the same, although its size had shrunk significantly.

This wasn’t all. The amount of energy that had been crazily devouring and strengthening his river had already exceeded Yang Kai’s limit.

After all, the foundation of the long river was the power of the Great Dao of Space and Time. Without sufficient attainments in these two forces, it would be impossible for them to support such a massive river.

It was just like building a house. The original foundation was only enough to build a five-story building, but if one were to forcefully build a ten-story building, there would be a risk of collapse.

The attainments of the Great Dao of Space and Time were the foundation of a house. The improvement of these two Great Dao attainments allowed one’s foundation to become more stable, and when reflected on the long river, it became even more solid.
