The Journey of Akasha

When Luna gave the group an explanation of the Daos, they all began their cultivations. The Dao is something that's vague, but yet so powerful. As said before, Laws are unique to the user. Once a cultivator breaks through to the Rebirth rank their laws do not become totally useless.

Instead, their laws fuses with their soul. When this happens the power of their Law will basically become theirs fully rather than being a medium to the rules. Elara for example, when she stepped into the Rebirth rank her flames now were permanently devouring flames. 

She no longer had to activate the power of her law. Whenever she uses fire, her flames will have the traits of her devouring flames. This is the same for all the other Laws too. Raven for example will passively become stronger the more bloodlust that's around. It would now take a simple thought for her to turn someone into a mindless blood hungry fiend. 

This brings us to Daos. 

The Dao is a totally different ballpark. There are so many Daos in the universes some many has never even heard of before. Daos can even be created by cultivators which would in turn create an entire new rule. Although this is much harder than it sounds, it just shows that the Dao is no mere medium to rules. 

As the group entered their deep states of comprehensions the atmosphere of The Sanctuary became serene. 

And as they attempted to step into the Mythical rank time was like a river, constantly flowing. 

Two weeks went by in a flash and the group were still sitting like unmoving statues. After a few more days Raven, Elara, Lyria, and Jovian opened their eyes looking with a frown. 

Raven looked towards Luna and Elysia then she spoke. 

"Why can't I make any progress?" 

"Yea, I drew a complete blank state. I couldn't feel any sort of connection differing from Laws...." Lyria said 

Elara and Jovian were facing the same issue, so they perked their ears up and listened. 

[Well, this was expected. Although it's possible to come into contact with Dao by yourself it would take much longer than 2 weeks. If you want to do it based on your talent alone then it would at minimum take someone like Elara a year and the rest of you about three years.]

Hearing this the group frowned a bit more.

"So, we won't be able to improve before the expedition starts?" Elara spoke out 

[Not necessarily, it all depends on that guy.] Luna said pointing at Akasha who was still deep into cultivation.

[There are a few other ways you could have quicker access to the Dao. One is listening to lectures about a specific Dao. You can use the insights of others in order step on to the path of the Dao. The other way is Dao Orbs; these orbs are imbued with the power of a specific Dao.

Even though it would be quicker than doing it on your own it would still depend on your talent.]

"Are you implying that Akasha will give us a lecture or something?" Jovian asked.

[No, he most likely won't do something like that. You all will undergo another evolution when he's done. By that time your talent would sufficient enough to step on the path of the Dao yourselves. Jovian you however will still be a bit behind, but after your next evolution your eyes will experience a change too so you will be fine.]

Hearing this the group nodded and waited until Akasha woke up.

They didn't have to wait much longer because the next day Akasha eyes fluttered open. When they opened his eyes began to flicker between scenes and images. After they stopped his eyes were pure white and in the center of them both were golden infinity symbols.

The moment his eyes fully opened a small ripple of power shot out through the air. With that he officially stepped onto the path of the Dao and also broke through.

He then received a notification 

[You have reached Mythical Rank.]

[Dao of Infinity - 0%] 

Seeing this notification, he smiled and looked at the others. 

"How did it go for you guys?" 

"Well, we all ran into trouble and were not able to comprehend anything." Lyria spoke out and spoke

Hearing this Akasha frowned slightly.

[Don't worry dear. After their next evolutions they should be able to make progress before the expedition starts.] Luna chimed in

"Shit! I did forget to do that didn't I?" He said facepalming. 

"So, what Dao did you comprehend?" Jovian asked. He was internally thinking something else though.

'What the hell are those eyes? This guy is a fucking freak!' He thought while looking at Akasha's eyes. 

He wasn't the only one either, Lyria off to the side was trying to maintain her cool. She didn't pay much attention while she spoke, but after she finished, she was stunned. Seeing her look Raven and Elara were giggling. 

Raven whispered into Lyria's ear and spoke 

"Hehe, they are beautiful right?"

Lyria not even finding the words to describe those eyes just nodded her head. 

To this question Akasha grinned, but he didn't answer he looked at Luna and Elysia then asked a question.

"Heh, before I answer that I must ask. Are there any levels or ranks among Daos?"

The two spirits smiled and then Elysia spoke

"Of course, the bigger impact the Dao has on reality then the higher it will be ranked. They are divided into Minor Daos, Major Daos, Supreme Daos, and Forbidden Daos."

"Hmm, that's interesting. Well, I comprehended the Dao of Infinity." 

*silence* 

"Pfft! you're too broken!" Elysia burst into laughter hearing this absurdity. 

 [Fufufu~ I should've known you would do something like this. To think your first Dao would be a Forbidden Dao.] Luna said while chuckling. 

"Congratulations dear!" Raven and Elara said as they moved to give him a hug. 

"C-congrats Akasha!" Lyria managed to say. 

"Tsk, even though I don't know what the hell a Forbidden Dao is, I can already tell it's some OP bullshit." Jovian said jokingly. 

Hearing all of this Akasha thanked them while laughing at Jovian's remark. He then turned and asked Luna

"So, what exactly is a Forbidden Dao?" 

[Well, to put it simply they are powers that shouldn't be wielded by cultivators. Each and every Forbidden Dao is simply broken. With the power of infinity, you will be able to turn anything to a infinite number. Of course this will be limited to your comprehension, but even at the lowest levels

Forbidden Daos are stronger than the strongest Minor and Major Dao.] 

"Wait, won't that defeat the purpose of my traits?" Akasha asked because he already had Infinite Mana and Currency. 

[No, actually your traits were probably the reason you were able to access such a Dao this early. Traits are special, sometimes they could be stronger than any Dao, but at times they can be subpar. Back to the topic though, the Dao of Infinity won't be able to give you Infinite energy. 

Although it will be boundless and grow the more your comprehension increases it will never truly be infinite like your trait. Theoretically, you will be able to have infinite currency with the power of this Dao though. 

The only difference is the type of Currency, you see right now you will be able to have infinite Mana stones with the power of your Dao. But there are higher forms of currency in the universe that would need higher comprehension.]

"I think I understand, basically aside from energy I have the power to turn anything to an infinite amount as long as my comprehension is enough?" He asked 

[Yes, but it's much more than that. You will have to figure it out on your own though.] Luna said.

"Wait! Infinite energy, Currency, and what the hell are traits?!" Jovian exclaimed. He just like the others were shocked about the information they just heard. Even Raven and Elara were shocked.

Hearing Jovian, Akasha facepalmed again, he sighed then said

"Uhhhh...fuck it. Yes, I have infinite mana and money" he said while shrugging.

"Dude...." Jovian said looking at Akasha as if he was some sort of freak.

".... how is something like that possible?" Raven muttered 

[Fufufu~ You guys are so entertaining." Luna said while chuckling. 

"Big Sister, I told you this is better than TV!" Elysia said from the side. 

[Alright, traits are something you will learn about when you enter the second realm of power. Akasha is just a bit.... spoiled...] Luna said 

"Yea shoutout to my mother, wherever she is...." Akasha said casually before he continued.

"Alright let's not waste any more time, we will begin with the evolutions so you guys can step on to the path of the Dao." 

As he said this, they all stood up and he began them evolutions.
