Chapter 25 – Embryotic Form of Profound Mystery of Dust
The most problematic thing about the Gods was actually killing them, as that was extremely hard. For example, even Saint Realm Ōtsutsuki, who reached Peak Saint Realm, would have a hard time killing Tier 3 Greater God.
Not because of the disparity in the raw power but mainly because the Gods had something very annoying called the Divine Kingdom. Usually, they were cooped in their Divine Kingdoms, only sending Avatars to fight in their stead.
Their Divine Kingdoms were separate dimensions in which the Gods were many times stronger and at the same time when someone invaded their Divine Kingdom, they could suppress the invader.
During the long fights against the Gods, the Ōtsutsuki Clan even lost one very powerful Empyrean Realm Ōtsutsuki clansman, who fell in the Divine Kingdom of God. Not to mention, even if the Divine Kingdom and even the True Body of said God were to be destroyed, it didn't end.
As long as Faith was flowing, the God who survived in his Soul Form could just escape, hide and recuperate and plan his return. The only certain way to kill God was to destroy his Soul and God Spark.
And this was very hard to achieve, so compared to Gods, fighting against Automatons was nothing; one just needed to be careful of their traps and numbers, but it was relatively okey.
And so on time passed, until several years have passed and it was time for the God Tree Sapling to bloom at any time. Not only that but also, the B-Grade Automaton would be coming around this time.
During the past few years, Yakou spent most of them either by training with Muzaka or spending time with his fianceé Kirihara. They discussed that they needed to have regular dates as they were engaged to each other, and during that time, they started opening up to each other.
One may think it was inevitable, as they were alone on the planet together with two werewolves if one didn't count the artifact spirit of the warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan they used to arrive at the planet Deria.
Due to the Dragon's Vein, where the God Tree took root and all the corpses and even some energy crystals that the four of them used to feed the sapling, the God Tree grew in rapid time and was already close to being completely grown.
Yakou was currently meditating under the God Tree, cross-legged, sitting below the tremendously huge God Tree that was tall hundreds of meters and more than fifty meters thick in the trunk.
He was practicing the Celestial Chakra Manual, where he already reached Expert-ranked Mastery within the Chakra Cultivation technique and had superb control over his Chakra.
This was very important for any member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan due to their tremendous amount of Chakra; control was always their priority.
Obviously, practicing the Celestial Chakra Manual was a pretty much boring activity because one only sat and cultivated and not many Ōtsutsukis were thrilled at that idea.
Sitting in one place for decades was not for everyone, especially for the Ōtsutsuki Clansmen, who were a rather active and impulsive species.
But there was no shortcut to obtaining superior Chakra Control, which was base for any Ōtsutsuki Clansmen because, without proper Chakra Control, they wouldn't be able to set up on the path of Evolutionary Cultivation, reach higher Tiers or even control their own power.
"Soon enough, I would be able to reach 3rd-Grade Tier 2 and move onto proper Cultivation Method and reach Saint Realm... right now, the only thing that is remaining is the comprehension of Dao to become the Saint."
Yakou already decided that he would ascend as Saint through the Dao of Dust... which would be extremely challenging but at the same time, it would provide him tremendous benefits at the later stages of his cultivation.
The Dao was divided into three grades.
The Heavenly Dao, Grand Dao and Lesser Dao.
Heavenly Daos were the moving force of the Origin World; they were the strongest and hardest to comprehend. Only one person during one Era may have had a chance to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, but each person who achieved this feat became an unparalleled powerhouse.
Grand Daos were related to natural phenomena and may even contain subsidiary lesser Daos and may themselves be a part of a Heavenly Dao. Most people who reached high levels in the cultivation comprehended the Grand Daos because they were a tad easier to comprehend.
And on the bottom of the list were the Lesser Daos.
As Yakou was sitting under God Tree, sitting cross-legged alone without any Shadow Clones, just he alone, suddenly his third eye opened fully as he was contemplating about the Dust.
'The Primordial Dust... the origin of all things in creation and destruction... the nothingness...'
Suddenly he felt something changing within his body and Soul and he quickly recognized what was happening. As he was randomly sitting under the God Tree, Yakou managed to touch the basic comprehension level of the Dao of Dust.
The first comprehension level of Dao was called the Profound Mystery Level because one had comprehended the Profound Mystery of the Dao and broke the mysterious veil of unknown around the Dao and it became clear to him.
While Yakou was not at that level, he was rather far, but he could feel the embryonic form of Dao of Dust swelling in his Soul.
Just that tiny gray speck of Dust inside his Soul increased the power of his Dust Release several times over.
"Who would have thought that this simple mission would allow me to experience an epiphany..."
Yakou smiled as he conjured a cube of Dust Release on his palm, noticing that the power of his Dust Release was stronger by approximately 270%, which was absolutely frightening... but that was the power of Dao Comprehension.
It was like using an ability that one didn't understand and using an ability that one understood perfectly. Not only that, but the consumption of Chakra went down by 40%, which was a tremendously high number.
And this was only the start; the moment he comprehended the Dao of Dust and achieved a Profound Mystery Level from the embryonic form, then the power of his Dust Release should be ten times of normal state.
Now he understood why the Ōtsutsuki Cultivators could fight several of those who didn't practice the Evolutionary Cultivation when on the same Tier and at the same time and win easily.
Only by becoming a Saint could he participate in the higher level battlefield and fight with the top powerhouse of the Starveil Origin World.
Yakou hated to admit it, but even despite all of his advantages, if he encountered some Automaton with an installed Psionic Energy Fusion Reactor, then he would be at a severe disadvantage.
Several hours after he managed to comprehend the Embryotic Form of the Profound Mystery of Dao of Dust, he suddenly felt several spaceships approaching the planet Deria from the end of the solar system.
All of them were of the Automaton design and belonged to them...
It seemed that the honored guests were here.
Though simultaneously, Yakou had a very bad feeling about that...
Something in his prediction probably went wrong.
