Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 796: Chapter 159: All Heavens Battlefield

“Indeed, so it is…”

Feng Boping heard these words, but no joy appeared on his face; instead, he sighed lightly and said: “Do not mention this matter in front of outsiders. This realm is special, capable of condensing Divine Blood, shedding mundanity for divinity, and the progeny born of the Divine Clan inherit a trace of their ancestors’ physique, cultivating at an exceptionally rapid pace from childhood, each comparable to the ninth-grade War Bodies of the Mortal World!”

Ninth-grade War Bodies are the highest caliber in the Mortal World, renowned across entire provinces.

Li Hao did not expect that Feng knew the Divine Clan’s secrets, and puzzled, he asked:

“Since that is the case, is this not a good thing?”

“It is indeed good, but it is also a disaster.”

Feng Boping shook his head: “The Divine Clan cultivates with exceptional speed, branching out too quickly, with all descendants able to walk the path of the Extreme Path to Saint Ascension – a path that requires slaughter, the transcendence of lost souls. If the number of the Divine Clan reaches a certain scale, to the point where everyone is of the Clan, what would the world look like?”

Li Hao was stunned; he had never thoroughly considered this point.

But listening to Elder Feng’s words, his expression changed slightly.

“In the Land of All Saints, the Divine Clan was first born, their descendants continuing to thrive. But as their numbers grew, they vied against each other, going so far as to incite disasters in their quest for the Extreme Path to Saint Ascension. Back then, wars broke out frequently, disasters extending to many Little Thousand Worlds, even more rampant than today’s Buddhist community…”

Feng Boping glanced at Li Hao: “Although the Divine Clan’s ancestor had no such intentions, too many descendants and internal havoc caused by some led the Supreme Saint to take action, joining forces with All Saints to suppress them, quelling the matter. Otherwise, the Land of All Saints today would already be ravaged by constant warfare, with every realm engulfed in flames.”

Li Hao fell silent; previously, when he learned from Ying Xiaoxiao that the Divine Clan had been slandered as the Demon Race, he felt somewhat indignant, but now it seemed that everything had a reason.

“Following the incident with the Divine Clan, the Supreme Saint ordered the prohibition of the cultivation of this Final Realm.”

Feng Boping looked towards Li Hao: “Fortunately, the power brought about by the Power Transmission Ultimate Realm is not so obvious, and coupled with the difficulties of cultivation, those who do not cultivate just let it be – many do not care, but there still are some who secretly continue their practice. The Supreme Saint turns a blind eye as long as they do not proliferate their bloodline and establish new clans.”

Li Hao had not expected that a realm could become taboo because of such matters.

“Being ignorant of these matters in the Mortal World, there is no issue with you having already studied it – it’s not a big deal as long as you keep it quiet. Some things done in the dark are ignored by others, but if you flaunt it publicly and offend certain individuals, they will have no choice but to step in and rectify the issue.”

Feng Boping instructed.

Li Hao nodded, “Then the Buddha Venerate of the Buddhist community has likely already cultivated this realm in secrecy.”

“That bald monk lacks worldly desires; even if he practiced this Dao, the Supreme Saint would not object. Presumably, he wouldn’t dare to flaunt it openly either.”

Feng Boping said.

Li Hao asked: “What about you, Feng? Have you cultivated it? This realm leads to the Sacrificial Dao becoming a Saint, offering a swift path to the Saint Realm. Can a simple decree truly prevent the entire world from practicing it?”

Feng Boping sighed: “Though it concerns power, after all, it invites a host of troubles. Besides, the Final Realm is not so easily cultivated as you think…”

At this, he looked at Li Hao, speechless: “Cultivation is not a sin, but if those with power say there is sin, then there is sin. Like in the laws of the Divine Dynasty, the methods for quick wealth are all written in the law books. Everyone knows they can earn money quickly, but how many dare to touch them?”

Hearing him say so, Li Hao instantly understood.

The power of the Supreme Saint was no less than that of an Emperor among All Saints.

The Buddha Venerate dares to touch it because he himself is a Saint and is extremely discreet.

Like nobles and ministers, with their covert gray industries, loan sharking, gambling dens and such, they are all taboo. For ordinary people without backing, touching them is a sure path to capital punishment, while for those in power, it is a considerable source of extra income.

Touching taboo relies not on courage, but on backing.

“The power difference between the Extreme Path to Saint Ascension and Incense Sainthood is negligible; the distinction lies only in the pace.”

Feng Boping looked at Li Hao: “The Buddhist community and the Void Saint regard you as a thorn in their side and will certainly not watch you ascend to sainthood unimpeded; they will disrupt your Incense Fire. But in this upcoming Supreme Genius Battle, if you can take the first place and ascend to Sainthood on the spot, that is pre-gathered Incense Fire granted directly to you. They won’t be able to cut it.”

Li Hao thought to himself that Elder Ting Feng truly had a premonitory insight, for he had seen that his own Incense Fire was diminishing. That which came from the Mortal World remained intact, but the Incense Fire from the Canglan Realm was continually waning.

No doubt the Buddhist community had dispatched someone to the Canglan Divine Dynasty after the fact to damage his reputation and reduce his Incense Fire.

“Even if I don’t fight for the first place, it does not matter. I have the Incense Fire support of the ten great Divine Dynasties; it’s just that all the Incense Fire has already been absorbed by me. Now I will set up an array to reverse the Incense Fire, channel it to you. Starting from today, accumulating it for merely about thirty years will enable you to ascend to sainthood!”

Feng Boping said: “In this Little Thousand World, they would not dare come here. This is my Dao Domain, where a Saint in their own Domain is nearly invincible.”

Li Hao listened to his calm words, but couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Elder Feng remained the same, his kindness to him as heavy as a mountain.

A struggle for a mere thirty minutes is extremely treasured even by Saints, as Incense Fire is power itself. Yet Elder Feng was willing to give away thirty years of Incense Fire sources to him; such generosity would be rare even towards his own Direct Disciples.

“Elder Feng’s intention, I accept with gratitude, but I would still like to try walking down the path of the Extreme Dao. If possible, it would be better to cultivate both.”

Li Hao said, aiming for first place in the Supreme Genius Battle. He also wanted to explore the Extreme Dao path.

As for Elder Feng’s Incense Fire, he rather not accept it.
