Tribulation of Myriad Races - Chapter 1873: World-Alarming Dao (1)

Chapter 1873: World-Alarming Dao (1)

After sending off Wan Tiansheng and Great Zhou King, Su Yu started studying the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion on his throne.

Paper dao.

What was the paper dao?

The Heavenly Hunt Index itself was a powerful divine weapon. There was no doubting that. It was supposedly a copy of the Book of Time. Since the Book of Time followed the path of myriad daos unification, what was the path of the Heavenly Hunt Index?

According to South Heavenly King, all four daos might be required for resurrection. The pen dao could attack and seal. The ink dao could remove someone from the death spirit dao. The inkstone dao could provide life force. What about the paper dao?

“Heavenly Hunt Index’s influence spreads throughout the Myriad Realms, gathering the qi of the myriad races. It can even gather the fortune of the myriad races…”

With the index in hand, Su Yu immersed himself in sensing its abilities. After a while, he laughed. Next, three fragments appeared.

Myriad Art Catalog. That was the real name of the Heavenly Hunt Index.

“Myriad Art Catalog. Myriad arts…myriad daos…and myriad realms…”

“Fuse!”

With that command, a gigantic golden book appeared in the sky. That book was visible from the entire eastern sector. It floated above the temporary palace. One golden stripe after another appeared on the book. That was not all. One name after another appeared on it.

Prior to this, there were the four indexes and Dao Affirmation Ranking. But now, a new ranking was on the verge of appearing. Some indistinct words were appearing on the book: Eternal Ranking.

And finally, the book flipped open.

The Eternal Ranking appeared fully.

Instantly, Su Yu’s expression changed. He hurriedly released his aura, covering the book from any attempt to spy on it. Why? Because just as the new ranking appeared, he saw some familiar names. Names of both Daofuses and Eternals.

Yes. Daofuses and Eternals.

As far as this book from the ancient past was concerned, both was the same realm. This gave Su Yu a big fright. He could not allow the divines, devils, and immortals learn about the hidden experts on his side.

Sure enough, the Myriad Art Catalog was a terrifying item. From all the names appearing on the Heavenly Hunt Index, it was clear that nothing in the Myriad Realms could be hidden from the Heavenly Hunt Index.

The changes did not stop there. The aura of the Heavenly Hunt Index started growing, reaching a level where it was going to cover even the River of Time.

Su Yu watched in silence. Inwardly, he was greatly shocked.

Paper dao.

What was the paper dao?

He had a vague answer. The paper dao was a piece of blank paper. A paper capable of covering the very heavens.

Simply put, the River of Time floated up in the sky with its countless tributaries serving as its connection to the world below. But this paper was capable of separating the river and those tributaries.

In Su Yu’s own words, the paper dao was essentially a piece of paper capable of covering the net in the sky.

“Interesting.”

“A very powerful dao.”

But even now, the Heavenly Hunt Index still felt incomplete, as though something was still missing. Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu’s mind. A paper covering everything? Paper. A dao to cover the heavens.

Finally, Su Yu understood.

This was a dao capable of masking the mysteries of the heavens.

Right at that moment, countless Lan Tians started flying toward the temporary palace. He might be a free soul, but he would generally control himself when Su Yu was in the palace. He had never intruded upon the palace for no reason before.

But now, he was rushing toward the palace uninvited. And he was rushing with numerous clones. The leading Lan Tian was a familiar face to Su Yu. It was Zhao Ming from the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy. After glancing at the sky with an odd expression, Lan Tian flew over.

He stopped before Su Yu, bowed slightly, and asked, “Emperor Yu, what is that?”

“Myriad Art Catalog.”

Su Yu grinned.

Lan Tian asked again with some urgency in his voice, “No, I’m asking about this power. What dao is this?”

Su Yu thought about it and said, “Culture King called it the paper dao. For me, it is the heaven covering dao. You can also call it the dao that covers the mysteries of the heavens or the dao that covers the River of Time.”

Lan Tian had an incomparably solemn expression. Unlike Su Yu, he couldn’t see the dao. But he could sense something happening. After a long silence, he said, “No, this is not the paper dao. It is also not the heaven covering dao. It is…the dao of all-life.”

Su Yu raised his brow. Was this guy fighting for the naming rights of this dao?

Lan Tian continued with the same solemnity, “All life is in my dao. Thus, it is the all-life dao. You’re understanding it wrongly. It is not covering the heavens. It is holding all life in its embrace.”

As Lan Tian spoke, his appearance started changing. Male. Female. Human. Beast. Countless forms and countless voices spoke in unison, a look of madness their eyes, “Emperor Yu, you are mistaken. This is an all-embracing dao. The all-life dao. You believe it is covering the heavens. No. It is embracing the heavens. The all-life dao is a forgiving and tolerant dao. A dao willing to embrace all living beings! All living beings are my dao!”

Lan Tian couldn’t see it, but he could feel it.

“I grant new life to all living beings, and all living beings will treat me as their parent.”

Su Yu focused on those words. After a long while, the look in his eyes changed.

He raised his head and looked at the sky again. There, the Heavenly Hunt Index was still in the process of completing itself. After a long while, he solemnly said, “This is an incomplete dao. Or to be precise, it is the embryonic form of a dao. Someone must have attempted to pioneer a dao back then but failed to complete the process. Of the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, this is the sole incomplete dao.”

The numerous Lan Tians answered in perfect unison, “Yes. It’s incomplete. I can feel it. It is mine.”

Su Yu laughed.

How long had it been?

He had always been the one taking from others. But now, Lan Tian was snatching the naming right of this dao from him. On top of that, Lan Tian was even demanding the Heavenly Hunt Index from him.

Lan Tian smiled and repeated himself, “Emperor Yu, this dao is mine. I can finally feel something. I have never felt this sensation before. I never felt like pioneering a new dao. But now, I finally have the urge to do so.”

With a rather creepy grin on his face, he continued, “This must be such an interesting dao. It will definitely be different than the other daos. Am I right?”

Su Yu stared at the sky again.

After a long while, he nodded, “Yes. It is very special. If you wish to name it the all-life dao, it might require you to comprehend the myriad daos, to learn from them, and to take from them all before forming your own dao.”

At that, Su Yu thought of himself and chuckled. Sure enough, all paths led to the same destination. He walked a similar dao. To take from a myriad daos and recreate a world. Would Lan Tian do the same?

“No…”

However, Lan Tian shook his head. He couldn’t see the dao, but he knew his dao. He had not been forming all those clones randomly.

“You’re wrong.”

Su Yu had the urge to give Lan Tian a beating. This wasn’t the first time Lan Tian was saying this to him. But he had the ability to actually see the dao. He was confident he knew more about the dao than Lan Tian.

Lan Tian said, “I can feel it. There is no need for me to comprehend the myriad daos. All daos come from the same source. I only need to comprehend the source. Yes. The source.”

Then, he reached out and grabbed the Heavenly Hunt Index. Even now, the index was still in the process of completing itself.

Su Yu frowned.

With a deranged expression, Lan Tian demanded, “Give this to me! Make it my gift! I understand now! I want to open a new dao! Give it to me!”

Just then, Wan Tiansheng appeared beside him and berated, “Stop making a scene! What are you doing?”

This was the same as robbing. Had Lan Tian gone mad?

Lan Tian continued his madness, “No! I really need it! I need it badly! This is an unfinished product! Emperor Yu does not need something like this. He might even die opening a new dao with this thing!”

Unfinished product.

Su Yu’s heart thumped.

Lan Tian said, “I need this badly! I have a feeling…this is either the day I achieve the dao or the day I die!”

Su Yu’s expression turned incomparably solemn as he asked, “Are you pioneering a your dao today?”

“Yes! I’m doing it now!”

Su Yu looked at Wan Tiansheng and said, “Let him be.”

Instantly, countless voices laughed in unison, “This is why you’re the Emperor, while Lan Tian can only be a King. Hehehe. Hahaha. Kekeke…”

With the Heavenly Hunt Index in hand, it seemed as though his madness had intensified. Abruptly, he soared into the sky and tore a rift into the River of Time. At the same time, countless Lan Tians soared into the sky throughout the Myriad Realms.

Men. Women. Beasts. Insects. Plants. There was even a mountain among them.

Countless gazes were attracted.

Willpower projections appeared outside the realms that were still sealed.

What was humanity doing this time?

Countless Lan Tians flew toward the River of Time.

Both Su Yu and Wan Tiansheng hurriedly followed Lan Tian into the River of Time. Inside, he stood still.

With the Heavenly Hunt Index in hand, he focused his senses on the river before flashing a creepy smile, “Interesting. Too interesting. I see. I see now! Ahahahah!”

He roared with laughter. Suddenly, he stepped forth.

Boom!

His body exploded.

Dead.

Yes. Lan Tian died.

Su Yu’s expression changed. Wan Tiansheng’s expression changed as well.

But just as they were about to act, another Lan Tian emerged from the Myriad Art Catalog.

The new Lan Tian laughed and said, “Interesting! Truly interesting! Ah, the joy of enlightenment is something to die for! I might die today. I might fail in pioneering my very own dao. Tiansheng, Su Yu! Witness me! Witness my dao! Witness my allheaven dao! Witness my all-life dao!”

Boom!

He took a step forward before exploding like the previous Lan Tian. But at the same time, countless Lan Tians entered the River of Time and vanished inside the Heavenly Hunt Index.

Moments later, another Lan Tian walked out of the Heavenly Hunt Index. This time, it was an old man. With his aged voice, he lamented, “This is an unfinished product. Culture King did not finish pioneering his dao. Rather, he left behind an idea. A concept. Looks like not even Culture King could complete this task. I can only rely on myself. He lacked talent in this aspect!”

He sneered at Culture King. All scholars seemed to have the habit of sneering and looking down at each other.

Su Yu had said similar words before. Wan Tiansheng as well.

It was inevitable that he was the subject of their criticism. After all, his reputation preceded him. He was the legendary scholar, the aspiration of all scholars. He represented the apex of all cultural researchers. And thus, he became the target of all geniuses.
