Chapter 779: Establishing a Dao for the Yellow Court

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The Great Dao didn't exist!

Tang Jie's answer made He Chong feel like he had been struck by lightning.

"You are saying that this world has no Great Dao?" He Chong asked just to make sure.

Tang Jie nodded. "It wasn't me that said it, but the Lord of the Blood River."

The Blood River Lord had once said to Tang Jie that the true signifier of an independent world was its own Dao.

"The Dao is the foundation of a world's existence, the law by which all things operate. Since you have your own world, you must lay the foundations for this world, write its Dao and enact its law!"

In an independent world that was truly one's own, the owner was its Heavenly Dao!

This was the real meaning of a small world's existence!

Since one had to establish a new Dao, the small world naturally didn't come with a Dao.

This was the reason He Chong couldn't comprehend a Dao.

"Establishing a Dao establishing a Dao" He Chong was shaking.

It was no wonder he couldn't comprehend a Dao no matter how hard he tried! Because no Dao existed here to comprehend!!!

Tang Jie sighed. "Creating a world is a process of constant expenditure, not just in the material, but also in the immaterial. Comprehension, understanding, and usage of the Dao is actually the ability to use the formless laws of the world. Spell arts have form, and the Dao has no form. Only by bringing the two of them together can one be considered to have a Dao Art."

"And why is that important for us?" He Chong sternly asked.

"What is being expended is matter, and what is being gained is comprehension," Tang Jie answered. "If not for the Lord of the Blood River, I would have never understood the true importance of a small world, instead treating it as a personal garden to raise plants. But now that I understand it, we can use this small world as a blueprint upon which we can write our Dao. In the writing process, we will begin to truly understand the meaning of the Dao. It is similar to appreciating a painting. If you aren't a painter yourself, you will find it very difficult to understand why exactly a painting is good. The same is true for the Dao."

"I see" He Chong somewhat understood now.

So this was the real purpose of a small world?

He turned to Tang Jie. "Then why haven't you established the Dao yet?"

"Haven't you already been doing that?" Tang Jie countered.

He Chong froze.

Tang Jie explained, "What do you think establishing the Dao is? Opening up the world, creating all things and setting their foundation, establishing the law for all beings, putting the four seasons into motion and establishing the cycle of the sun and moonis this not establishing the Dao? The Dao is the law of the world. You are writing the laws of this world; you are establishing its Dao!"

Only then did He Chong realize that he had been establishing the Dao this entire time.

He couldn't comprehend the Dao because he had no need to comprehend his own Dao, but he was also jailed in this small world.

If he left this small world now, then with his many years of enlightenment, he would be able to instantly comprehend the Dao.

"Then why is this world so chaotic and unstable?"

"Because you didn't do a thorough-enough job." Answering He Chong's question seemed to have awakened Tang Jie from a dream, and he was finding answers to all these previously confusing questions. "Although you have established the rules of this world, you have yet to establish the laws for its creatures. You control things on the grand scale but fail to clean things up in the miniature. You've left out too many things, so more and more problems occur. The disasters and monsters that keep appearing are all products of these gaps in the Great Dao, and this is why there is no end to them. To fix it, we must complete the Great Dao."

"How do we complete it?" the three asked in unison.

Tang Jie shook his head. "You three probably can't do it. It has to be done by me personally. But even though I'm the lord of this world, it will still be difficult. I still have no idea how to do it and will need to think on this problem for some time."

He took off into the air.

Once he was high enough, he waved his hand, and the Infinite Palace projected itself around him.

Tang Jie sat at its highest point and released his Divine Will, linking to the world. Wherever his mind reached, no matter how far away it really was, it seemed like it was all right under his feet.

There was no rule to abide by when it came to establishing the Dao. One had to figure out everything for oneself.

Although He Chong had established the Dao by creating rules for the world, this was a crude way of establishing the Dao, emphasizing the big picture over the small details, and thus unable to achieve penetrating influence or apply delicate changes.

Only Tang Jie, who had a Divine Will that could link to the world and who was also the owner of this land, could attempt this unprecedented feat of establishing a Dao.

He first focused his mind to the maximum extent before finally allowing his Divine Will to merge with the world and thus understand all that was occurring within it.

Tang Jie began to chant while firing off blasts of energy from his fingers.

These blasts of energy vanished in the void to seemingly no effect.

Tang Jie continued to thrust out with his finger, meanwhile beginning to study how to turn his will into Dao Wills.

This was a new experience for Tang Jie, another way of exploring the Great Dao.

It was like developing a model in a laboratory, but even more advanced.

He would derive theories and evidence from this model and use them to draw conclusions on the situation in the Great Stellar Chiliocosm.

Tang Jie didn't know when he would be able to completely establish the Dao, but starting from the day he seated himself up in the sky, he never stopped his experiments.

This was an important and long-term mission. He would need countless attempts, testing each method he came up with, in order to find the answer.

He sent his will deep into the earth, establishing the laws of the world, dividing Yin and Yang, deciding upon all things. His will needed to penetrate so deeply so that even the smallest particle of matter would carry out his will.

He even activated his Insight, the Celestial Eye serving as the most useful tool to study the microscopic world. His Divine Will was his emissary, the tool by which he altered the world. Through various methods, he planted his will into the soil, hoping to achieve the result he desired.

These attempts lasted for ten years.

In these ten years, Tang Jie came to the Mountain River State Diagram world almost every day to spend some time establishing the Dao.

Alas, he never received any positive feedback. This world seemed to ignore him, and the number of disasters actually increased.

One day, Tang Jie was still attempting to turn his will into Dao Wills, but to no avail.

Tang Jie was not surprised. By habit, he began to consider what he had done wrong.

Had he been wrong from his base assumptions?

Was there some other condition needed to establish the Dao?

Was it a problem of cultivation level?

This was impossible. Daos had nothing to do with cultivation. Daos had a system of their own, uninvolved with that of cultivation.

Tang Jie continued to think and reject.

Suddenly, Tang Jie sensed a battle in the distance.

Deng Yuqing was battling with a devil.

The battle had far-reaching effects, and by the time it was over, the surrounding fifty kilometers had been scorched.

He Chong was startled when he arrived. "When did the devils here become so powerful?"

Tang Jie carefully examined it and finally figured out the problem. "This devil was born in the deep sea, too far away from us, so we never noticed it. This gave it ample time to develop, and as we can see, these devils will also get stronger and stronger. Unfortunately, even my Divine Will can't cover the entire Mountain River State Diagram."

He Chong curiously asked, "Can Celestial Sovereign's Dao of Fate not do it?"

Tang Jie didn't hide much from these three, so they knew that he had entered the Dao of Fate.

Tang Jie shook his head. "There is no Web of Fate here, so I can't use it to observe the entire area."

"Then can't you just lay one out?" Duan Fourth asked.

"It's possible, but this will take too long. There is no Dao here, so I would have to start from scratch, which takes too much energy and effort. I'm too busy"

Tang Jie suddenly stopped, and then he began to mutter, "Beneath the Heavenly Dao, Fate is the first. I am the Heavenly Dao, and Fate speaks for me I am the Heavenly Dao, and Fate speaks for me Damn it, how did I not realize!?"

Tang Jie shouted.

The trio saw him fly into the sky, sending out rays of light from his finger.

These were threads of Karma energy, coiling around all things in this world.

The threads of Karma grew longer and longer, spreading out from Tang Jie.

Even with Tang Jie's power, sending out so many threads of Karma quickly tired him out.

He had to stop and rest a while before continuing.

Starting from this day, he began the long process of weaving Fate.

Just like a spider weaving a web, he spread his Web of Fate to every corner of this world.

This was a completely new Web of Fate. Unlike the one in the Great Stellar Chiliocosm, this one belonged only to Tang Jie.

There was no preexisting system to hinder them, so Tang Jie's weaving went very smoothly. Most importantly, once it was complete, it wouldn't disappear.

The Web of Fate gradually expanded to every corner of the world, and in those unseen spaces, the threads of Karma weaved countless possibilities and futures.

Beneath the Heavenly Dao, Fate is the first.

I am the Heavenly Dao, and Fate speaks for me!

With a new world, the first thing one needed to do was establish a Web of Fate.

When the Web of Fate was in its nascent state, Tang Jie could already feel a different kind of energy.

This energy was a kind of absolute control.

It was impossible to describe with words. Tang Jie simply knew that he could clearly sense everything that was happening in the Web of Fate.

There was no need to calculate or think too hard. A mere thought would send ripples through the Web of Fate, and everything would go as he desired.

It was a wonderful feeling, something that even a Controller of Fate couldn't achieve.

Tang Jie didn't know what to call this state, but he knew that in his world, under his Great Dao, what he could do was the utmost, the supreme.

This meant that through this method, he could already feel how far he was from being truly supreme outside the diagram.

This strange feeling made him feel like he could control everything with a single thought.

In this world, he was the supreme god, omnipotent and omniscient.

If there was still anything above him at this point, then it was probably philosophical in nature.

For example, could he make a stone so heavy that he himself could not lift it up?

But outside of paradoxical logic, he was god and could do anything he wanted.

With a simple glance, countless threads of Fate intersected, and a giant mountain rose up from the earth.

It stood up and strode over to Tang Jie, kneeling before him respectfully.

Tang Jie walked over and lightly stroked the head of this mountain giant.

At that moment, he knew that he was invincible in this world.
