When system cheat becomes rampant!

The stone bell continued to resonate nonstop, its sound deep and heavy. The eight Floating Immortal Isles hovered in mid-air, and in the darkness of the night, they looked like eight ghostly islands, quite eerie.

Xiang Beifei sat cross-legged on top of the stone bell, reflecting on Daoist Qingyang's words.

"Am I the Dao?"

He pondered this sentence carefully.

It made him very confused.

His grandfather had said that this world possesses various laws, and he needed to comprehend these Daos to step into the Heavenly Connection realm, yet Daoist Qingyang had claimed that Xiang Beifei did not need to comprehend the Dao, for he himself was the Dao.

The statements of these two seemed somewhat conflicting.

If one said the Dao embryo was the system, then indeed Xiang Beifei could control all systems, but why would the system be referred to as the Dao embryo?

Xiang Beifei meditated on this, pondering the various systems he had encountered, recalling the features of each system, and gradually, he began to realize something.

"I understand now, the rules of the system, the laws of the Heavenly Dao, that's what it means!"

Xiang Beifei's eyes lit up.

His grandfather's and Daoist Qingyang's statements were not in conflict after all!

As the progenitor of systems, he was all too familiar with the various features of systems.

All people on the Jiuzhou continent were referred to as cultivators. And cultivators were divided into those of the literary Dao and the martial Dao. The so-called cultivation was the practice of the Heavenly Dao Laws.

The great Dao is boundless, choose one and follow it.

The cultivation paths in this world were innumerable, and the moment one awakened a system, one decided which one of those paths to take.

Each system had its own operative rules, and no matter what the level or talent of the system, the host had to follow the system's rules if they wanted to become stronger.

If the system was the Dao embryo, then the ability of a system was the derivation of a Heavenly Dao Law, and also a path of cultivation in the Heavenly Dao.

When someone awakened this Dao embryo of a system, they had to follow its path. As long as they followed the system's rules and strived to fulfill the conditions required by those rules, then every system could bring a person to the Heavenly Connection realm.

Because the Heavenly Connection realm is about connecting with the Heavenly Dao Laws, and these laws are the system itself.

For instance, Elder Luo's Leisure System contained a Dao embryo that followed the "Dao of Leisure", and by engaging in various leisure activities, one could grow stronger. Thus, when this system reached the Heavenly Connection realm, the Heavenly Dao Law it connected with was that of leisure.

In other words, Elder Luo's cultivation was the Dao of Leisure!

Ye Changfeng's Supremacy of Ten Thousand Swords System contained a Dao embryo that was of the Sword Dao! Anything done in relation to swords equated to an understanding of the Sword Dao. When he reached the late stage of orifice transforming and stepped into the Heavenly Connection realm, the Heavenly Dao Law he connected with would be that of the sword!

The others, like Professor Guo's Counterattack System, Li Zimu's Literature System, Long Guocheng's Spotlight System... even including Chang Furong, who had cultivated all his life and only reached the Meridian Opening stage with his SSR-grade Evil-accumulating System, were the same.

All systems were Heavenly Dao Laws, and every System Awakener was actually comprehending this path while doing tasks in daily life.

Take the Leisure System, which Xiang Beifei was most familiar with, for example: Elder Luo spent his days doing mundane chores, from ants moving house, counting ducks, cracking sunflower seeds to taking naps—all of this was him comprehending the Heavenly Dao Law of leisure.

Only by fully grasping the essence of a certain Dao and reaching a certain level, one could connect with the Heavenly Dao Laws and interface with heaven and earth!

This means that Elder Luo should be the person who understands the Leisure Heavenly Dao the best by now.

Therefore, it was not difficult for someone with a system to connect with the Heavenly Dao Laws and step into the Heavenly Connection realm. Even if it was an N-grade system, theoretically, it was possible to reach the Heavenly Connection realm.

The connection between the Dao embryo and the Heavenly Dao could be strong or weak. The stronger the connection between the Dao embryo within one's body and the Heavenly Dao, the faster the growth of the Dao embryo and the easier it would be to attain the Dao!

That was the origin of system levels!

Xiang Beifei, naturally without a system, could control all systems precisely because he was a Taoist Body!

Although Daoist Qingyang had not explained in detail what it meant to be a Taoist Body, Xiang Beifei could vaguely guess.

Everyone had a Dao embryo in them, but as a Taoist Body, Xiang Beifei was the culmination of all Heavenly Daos, and all paths were viable for him.

This was also why he could control all systems.

Therefore, he did not need to seek the Dao, for he himself was the Dao!

"Since I am the Dao, then interfacing with heaven is indeed not difficult!"

Having realized this, Xiang Beifei suddenly felt enlightened.

His grandfather probably arranged for all humans to be settled in Jiuzhou, then used special methods to transform the ethereal Dao embryos into visual systems, designated symbolic levels like N and S grades, and represented system value with numbers, making cultivation data-driven to be more intuitive and also to help humanity become stronger more quickly.

Jiuzhou was already a place with high modernization. The method of tech-cultivation was indeed more effective than the ancient Hanxia.

Of course, this system approach had major drawbacks, but at that time, when only fifty to sixty thousand of the human race were left, his grandfather wouldn't have considered it deeply, as the best approach was to cultivate a batch of experts first.

----

Closing his eyes and recalling each system, Xiang Beifei had seen countless systems; he was basically familiar with all the different systems throughout Jiuzhou. If one system was one Dao, then it meant he had seen countless Heavenly Daos.

In this way, he suddenly understood why he had both black and white Spiritual Power in him.
