308: Proving the Way through Rules

Some people are lucky to successfully attain the Dao once in their entire lives.

For others, Attaining the Dao once is just the beginning; a second time is merely unremarkable.

Inside the Five Regions Great World.

Lin Chen began to use the Mirror Dao rules to attain the Dao at the Dao Rhyme Level.

With the experience gained from observing the Ice Lord's Dao attainment, Lin Chen began the process.

As the Mirror Rules circulated, Lin Chen's physical body transformed into a Body of Rules, with the Mirror Dao evolving into a new body.

The power of laws and Dao Source Power within his body combined, transforming into the Rule Dao Source Power unique to the Dao Rhyme Level, truly reaching the status that supreme power should possess.

The transformation of the Soul was the most intense, as strands of Mirror Dao merged into it, dyeing the Soul into a Soul of Rules.

At this moment, Lin Chen summoned the semi-treasure, the void-reality mirror.

The void-reality mirror interacted with Lin Chen; as their rules intertwined, they jointly embarked on the path of promotion.

This process did not last long, and the Five Regions Great World completely transformed into a Dao Accumulation Level Great World.

The Origin core belonging to the Five Regions Great World manifested, and a world consciousness was being born.

However, Lin Chen had reached the critical moment of Attaining the Dao. His Soul of Rules left his body and began to sink into the world's Origin land, followed closely by the void-reality mirror, which also sank into the world's Origin land.

The process of the Five Regions Great World's consciousness being born was interrupted by the arrival of the Soul and the void-reality mirror.

But a world must birth a consciousness, which is the Heavenly Dao. Thus, the world turned to nurture Lin Chen's Soul as the new Heavenly Dao. During this period, the void-reality mirror also benefited from the world's nurturing and began its transformation and promotion.

The first Dao Rhyme Level expert of a Dao Accumulation Level Great World is highly likely to be the Heavenly Dao of that Realm, especially for someone like Lin Chen, who attained the Dao at the critical point of the Five Regions Great World's transformation; he was one hundred percent the Heavenly Dao.

This is also why Dao Rhyme Level experts who use a Dao Accumulation Level Great World to attain the Dao are so free.

Being your own master is much better than living under someone else's roof.

The second time Attaining the Dao went smoothly.

One year later, Lin Chen woke up.

His true spirit was strengthened once again.

Using the true spirit of the Yin Yang Dao Lord, Lao Deng, as a baseline, Lin Chen's true spirit strength was five times that of Lao Deng's.

A true spirit five times that of a Dao Lord level existence laid Lin Chen's Foundation for transcendence.

The firmer the Foundation, the easier the Breakthrough.

This logic also applies to transcendence.

The stronger the true spirit, the stronger the strength naturally is, and the greater the cultivation potential.

At this time, the Soul belonging to Mirror Lin Chen had already transformed into the Heavenly Dao of the Five Regions Great World, becoming an existence similar to the great universe consciousness, also capable of providing a Soul anchor for those Attaining the Dao.

Mirror Lin Chen's physical body transformed into the human form of the Heavenly Dao, no different from a Dao Rhyme Level expert, also possessing the same immortal characteristics as an ordinary Dao Rhyme Level expert.

The void-reality mirror also successfully promoted to a Lower-rank Dao Accumulation Treasure, deeply bound to Mirror Lin Chen. Both would grow together, with a minimum potential of the half-step transcendence level.

Now, Lin Chen's true spirit returned to his original body, and the second Dao attainment was officially over.

With the Dao attainment finished, Mirror Lin Chen, having become the Heavenly Dao, also found his own path of cultivation.

The Five Regions Great World was Mirror Lin Chen's source of power.

As the world developed, Mirror Lin Chen's power would naturally increase; the world's status was his cultivation Realm.

The initially transformed Five Regions Great World could only grant Mirror Lin Chen an Early Stage Dao Rhyme Level cultivation Realm. As the Five Regions Great World developed and could support more Dao Rhyme Level experts, his cultivation Realm would rise accordingly.

Developing a world is not something that happens overnight.

Mirror Lin Chen had embarked on the cultivation path of a "Heavenly Dao" type existence, completely different from the orthodox cultivation path; the two were not in the same cultivation lane.

But all Daos are different paths to the same destination, all for the sake of transcendence.

Mirror Lin Chen was relatively lucky; he had the great universe consciousness as a reference, and the great universe consciousness was also seeking transcendence ahead, paving the way for him.

As long as the great universe consciousness succeeded in transcendence, Mirror Lin Chen could follow that path and succeed as well.

However, Lin Chen clearly forgot his own cultivation speed. In the future, it might be Mirror Lin Chen who first leads the world to transcendence, providing valuable Breakthrough experience and a path for the great universe consciousness.

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

At least for now, with the great universe consciousness leading the way, it could provide many paths for Mirror Lin Chen to rely on, making his cultivation much smoother.

Attaining the Dao is truly just a new beginning on the path of cultivation.

This was true for Faith Lin Chen, and it was also true for Mirror Lin Chen.

The matter of Attaining the Dao had come to a temporary close.

Lin Chen left the Five Regions Great World and returned to the Ancestral Court Great World, accompanied by his two Clones, Aura and Essence Lin Chen.

The Dao attainment of these two Clones was not simple and required careful planning; there was no suitable opportunity for the time being.

The next Clone able to attain the Dao was only God Lin Chen, who was trapped beneath the Void Realm.

Once God Lin Chen attained the Dao, Lin Chen would follow immediately after to attain the Dao.

He was just waiting now, waiting for God Lin Chen to attain the Dao.

By then, with the accumulation brought by the three Clones' Dao attainment, Lin Chen's own Dao attainment would be smoother, maximizing the benefits of Attaining the Dao and laying the deepest Foundation.

In the Enlightenment Hall, the Lao Deng Incarnation walked in.

"You really are a freak."

His first words were an insult.

"Lao Deng, what are you saying? I'm quite normal. How am I a freak?"

"Tsk, in whose house does the Main Body not attain the Dao, while the Clones do so one after another?"

"The time was right, so it was time to attain the Dao."

"You still have three key Clones you're cultivating. When will they attain the Dao?"

Lao Deng asked this with no other intention; he just wanted to know Lin Chen's next arrangements and how the Human Race could help.

"Wait about thirty or forty more years. I have a trapped Clone that can attain the Dao. After it does, I'll be almost ready and will begin Attaining the Dao."

"Afterwards, depending on the situation, I'll engage in a Dao Contest with the source of malice to establish its status, or head out into the Void Realm to find a Dao Accumulation Level world, destroy it, and elevate the Dao Oblivion Clone to the Dao Rhyme Level."

This was Lin Chen's next cultivation arrangement.

After hearing this, Lao Deng seemed to think of something.

"As for the Dao Accumulation Level world your Clone needs for Attaining the Dao, there actually is one. It's currently under control and has no major use yet. If you want it, you can use it now."

Wait, what?

Lin Chen was bewildered; he didn't know the Human Race also controlled a Dao Accumulation Level world.

"Don't be confused. You were involved in discovering this Dao Accumulation Level world; you just didn't pay much attention back then and didn't think you'd need it now."

With Lao Deng's reminder, Lin Chen understood the situation of this Dao Accumulation Level world.

Years ago, when he obtained the Void Annihilation Spear, he called for backup to kill a Dao Rhyme Level expert named Great Emperor Cangyun.

The world that emperor came from was a Dao Accumulation Level world. Afterward, Jiang Wuliang went out to confirm the situation of that Dao Accumulation Level world.

After that, Lin Chen didn't pay attention to this matter, so he wasn't aware of the follow-up.

Now it seems Jiang Wuliang took control of that Dao Accumulation Level world. As for its specific location, it was likely placed in the Void Realm and not brought back near the Main Universe, serving as a backup retreat for the Human Race.

"What is the specific situation of that Dao Accumulation Level world?"

"It's similar to the Five Regions Great World, except the birth of its first Dao Rhyme Level expert caused significant damage to the world. It hadn't recovered by the time we found it and can't nurture a second Dao Rhyme Level expert for now. However, its status as a Dao Accumulation Level world is solid, so it should be usable."

Lin Chen was also somewhat pleasantly surprised.

He thought the Dao Oblivion Clone's Dao attainment would be difficult and require a long time to find a suitable world, but the Human Race gave him such a big surprise.

Hearing this, Aura patted Essence Lin Chen's shoulder. The meaning was clear: "Brother's going first; just wait for me to help you in the Dao Contest later."

Essence Lin Chen was also somewhat helpless.

His conditions for Attaining the Dao were actually met, but the Main Universe's situation was complex. With the Abyssal Heavens rioting, the great universe consciousness needed to suppress the Abyssal Heavens.

At this point in time, it's best for the source of malice, this hidden danger, to remain dormant and not come out to cause trouble.

So the timing for Essence Lin Chen's Dao attainment depended on the Main Universe's situation. He couldn't rush it and had to sacrifice for the greater good.

For the time being, Essence Lin Chen could not attain the Dao.

Since Aura could attain the Dao, Lin Chen didn't waste any time and prepared to set off to let Aura attain the Dao as soon as possible.
