Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

582. Mastery of the World’s Dao

Lin Fei was unaware of it, but at this moment, on his system panel, the numerical indicator for his progress along the World's Dao was undergoing constant change. Furthermore, within Lin Fei's mind, the resounding voice of the system echoed melodiously.

"Your comprehension of the World's Dao has entered a state of enlightenment."

"Your advancement along the World's Dao has increased by 1%."

"Your advancement along the World's Dao has increased by 2%."

"Your advancement along the World's Dao has increased by 3%."

These words continued to flow without interruption. Initially, Lin Fei's progress along the World's Dao had already reached an impressive 73%. The final 100% seemed within reach.

However, after reaching 73%, it appeared to stagnate as if immobilized by an invisible force. Regardless of his efforts, it refused to budge.

Nevertheless, the numerical representation was now slowly on the rise.

74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%...

Each increment was a mere 1%, but as time accumulated, Lin Fei's progress along the World's Dao seemed to know no limits. It continued to rise gradually, even reaching 80%.

This was the state of enlightenment—a moment of epiphany. In this state, Lin Fei's understanding of the World's Dao deepened with each passing moment. His mind was constantly illuminated by flashes of insight, thus causing his progress along the World's Dao to slowly ascend.

However, Lin Fei remained deeply engrossed in this state of enlightenment, not yet awakening. It was evident that he had encountered certain challenges along the way, challenges that remained unresolved. Consequently, the progress he made along the World's Dao began to slow down.

85%, 90%, 95%...

Upon reaching 95%, it appeared as though the World's Dao had come to a standstill.

"What am I missing?" Lin Fei pondered, his brow furrowed. He remained deep in contemplation, still caught in his state of enlightenment. Despite the constant flickering of insights, he had yet to grasp a complete path.

It seemed that something was amiss within the World's Dao. Lin Fei couldn't quite fathom what he was failing to comprehend fundamentally. As he continued his profound introspection, the missing piece slowly revealed itself.

"Wait, if I am to master the World's Dao," Lin Fei's thoughts raced, "where does the World's Dao originate? Where should I apply the World's Dao I master? Where does my source of power come from?"

A crucial realization dawned upon him. It was commonly said that a warrior's strength stemmed from within. In the same vein, a Martial Ancestor who possessed mastery over a complete path undoubtedly wielded unimaginable power. Otherwise, how could one attain the exalted status of a Martial Ancestor?

However, Lin Fei's World's Dao was neither the World's Dao of the Divine Realm nor the World's Dao of the Ancient Continent. It was uniquely his own. Therefore, his World's Dao resided within himself.

The question remained: where could he find the power to support his ascent to Martial Ancestor through his own World's Dao?

"Could it be my physical body?" Lin Fei contemplated the potential of his own physical form. His body possessed boundless potential and strength, but how many Particle Worlds had he managed to create thus far?

A mere five thousand three hundred Particle Worlds. Yet, the number of particles within his physical body exceeded billions.

The sheer quantity of Particle Worlds his body could potentially generate was nearly unimaginable. However, Lin Fei couldn't help but sense that something was awry. He questioned whether he had veered off course.

As he accumulated Particle Worlds within his body, there came a point where his physical form couldn't bear the burden. The Particle Worlds remained separate entities, distinct from the rest of his body.

There was an intrinsic division between Particle Worlds and other particles within his flesh. In his Martial God and True Monarch states, this division wasn't a significant concern.

However, for Lin Fei to attain the status of a Martial Ancestor, presented a formidable challenge especially when he aimed to master the World's Dao—a way fundamentally rooted in the concept of the world itself.

The World's Dao had the power to create entire worlds, making it the most fundamental aspect of each world it governed.

"If my physical body could merge into a single entity," Lin Fei pondered, "and if all the particles could coalesce into one, then, with the World's Dao as its foundation, I could create a world. This world would consist of a single particle, and once created, all the particles would disappear. Yet, I could fully control this world and even possess a complete World's Dao, uniquely my own..."

Finally, the revelation struck Lin Fei. In his mind, a spark of insight ignited, unveiling what was missing in his path to attaining Martial Ancestor status. His World's Dao drew its power from within his own flesh.

"I see..." A slight smile curved on Lin Fei's lips. Without hesitation, he acted upon his newfound realization.

"Particle Worlds, merge!" he commanded.

A thunderous explosion resonated as Lin Fei's flesh, along with his five thousand three hundred Particle Worlds, erupted in a spectacular burst. Additionally, billions of individual flesh particles, each carrying the formidable essence of a True Monarch, detonated simultaneously.

This explosion differed from his previous encounters with adversaries. It was a genuine detonation, where all particles merged into a chaotic unity. Countless particles perished in the process, and Lin Fei's physical form disintegrated, transforming into ashes. Yet, Lin Fei himself did not die.

As long as a particle remained, Lin Fei's consciousness clung to it, ensuring his survival. These particles continuously exploded and fused, gradually converging into a singular whole. Even the five thousand three hundred Particle Worlds completely disintegrated and melded together.

Now, where Lin Fei had just experienced the explosion, a single particle emerged. Only one particle remained, but it was whole and complete, containing the entirety of his power. With this single particle's appearance, a message echoed within Lin Fei's mind.

"Your understanding of the World's Dao has reached its pinnacle, your World's Dao progress has reached 100%, achieving perfection."

Without hesitation, Lin Fei infused the recently mastered World's Dao into a single particle within his flesh. In that instant, the particle sprang to life, akin to the birth of consciousness within a world. However, this world consciousness was none other than Lin Fei's own.

Once a world possessed consciousness, limitless possibilities arose. It could ascend from a small world to a True Monarch-level world or even a True Immortal-level world if given the opportunity.

Yet, this was not the endpoint, for even the Divine Realm, strictly speaking, was a world—albeit an extraordinary one that surpassed all True Immortal-level worlds.

Lost in thought, Lin Fei's musings drifted far. He possessed extensive experience in creating worlds. Therefore, when he integrated the World's Dao into the particles, he created a world.

With a deafening explosion, Lin Fei's flesh particles erupted, unveiling a colossal world that emerged in all its grandeur. It expanded relentlessly, surpassing the confines of the Ancient Continent's World's Dao, for this was a genuine world.
