“This untalented disciple has won the favor of the Saint Ancestor and been accepted as her disciple,” Ye Mo said, voice filled with derision. “Why? Do you have a problem with that?”
It was almost as if he was telling Elder Tian Wu it was his loss for not accepting Ye Mo as his disciple.
When Elder Wu Tian saw this, his heart was filled with fury. He had indeed underestimated Ye Mo. Now that the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber had accepted Ye Mo as her disciple, he had boundless prospects before him. He felt like Ye Mo has slapped him in the face. And because of that, he grew even more determined to nurture Lin Langya.
He couldn’t defeat Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, but he would help Lin Langya defeat Ye Mo. In a sense, that was a sort of counter-attack.
“Junior Brother Ye Mo, the Saint Ancestor actually accepted you as her disciple?” Taiyi Qinglian walked over with a smile on her face. “This is excellent news.”
Standing beside Taiyi Qinglian was a middle-aged man wearing a Daoist robe with fiery cloud markings on it. His hair was like a clump of fiery clouds. It was Taiyi Qinglian’s master, Elder Huo Yun.
“Senior Sister Qinglian, you’re here to participate in the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation comprehension too?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment.
“Yes,” Taiyi Qinglian said with a nod of her head. “Master has only allowed me to give it a try after my cultivation reached a certain level. After all, comprehending the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation is an extremely rare opportunity.”
There were six elders on the scene, each of them there with their respective disciples. And among the six disciples, Ye Mo’s cultivation was the lowest. Second lowest after him was Lin Langya. The other four disciples were all in the Transcendence Realm.
“Is everyone ready?” one of the elders asked, looking at the six disciples in high spirits.
“Yes elder, we’re ready.” The six disciples nodded their heads.
“Langya, try your best to comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation,” Elder Wu Tian said. “If you succeed, your strength will rise sharply. Even defeating a Transcendence Realm expert with cultivation level in the Spirit Devour Realm would be possible.”
“Your disciple will not disappoint, master,” Lin Langya promised with his fists cupped respectfully.
In the Inner Peak, few wer capable of comprehending the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation. Normal disciples were only able to comprehend a few of the six daos, not all six. Those capable of comprehending all six daos would become important disciples that the Door of Desolation would focus on nurturing.
“All six of you are direct disciples of the various elders,” one of the elders said. “An opportunity to try to comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation is extremely rare. You must all do your very best. Even if only one of you manages to comprehend the will, it will be good news for the Door of Desolation. Your master would enjoy supreme glory.”
From the elder’s words, it was clear that the chances of anyone comprehending the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation were extremely low.
“Alright, you may now enter the door,” the same elder said. “You will have three days for the comprehension. Once the three days end, regardless of whether you are successful or not, the door will automatically send you back out here.”
The six disciples slowly stepped through the door.
Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber hovered in the air as she looked straight at Ye Mo. In truth, she had high expectations for Ye Mo. Ye Mo had done great things in the past. Whether it was the Light of Glorious Sun he had in his body or the fact that he persevered until the wave of 64 blood women in her domain, they were accomplishments even she herself couldn’t have managed when she was his age.
And from Ye Mo, the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber was able to sense a fanatical fervor toward cultivation that was absent in other warriors. Last night, she had been paying attention to Ye Mo. She saw that Ye Mo hadn’t stopped cultivating for even a single second.
Will of Six Daos Reincarnation? Ye Mo thought as he stepped up to the door. Let me have a look. What exactly is this so-called reincarnation?
Even the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber agreed that the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation was extremely hard to comprehend. Ye Mo started getting excited. What exactly could he find behind this door?
Hu! Hu!
Ye Mo stepped through the door, his entire body soaking a layer of energy like a solidified liquid. It was rather hard to pass through.
Ye Mo activated 220,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power and squeezed himself through.
The layer of energy started rippling, and by the time the ripples grew calm, Ye Mo was no longer there.
The next moment, he reappeared in an ocean. Not an actual ocean. Ye Mo stood straight on the surface of the ocean, and, without even trying, he started drifting around.
The ocean was boundless, and Ye Mo hovered alone like a lonely boat adrift on the sea.
“What is this place?” Ye Mo asked in astonishment. “It feels like an illusion, but it also feels so real. This is obviously an ocean, but why am I standing on the surface?”
He was trying to comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation. Why had he been sent to an ocean? There was nothing around him, and he couldn’t even see the end of this ocean.
“This is no normal ocean,” Hong Ling said in Ye Mo’s mind. She sounded shocked. “This is the Sea of Bitterness.”
“Sea of Bitterness?” Ye Mo was astonished as well. There was a saying that the Sea of Bitterness was a sea of no return, a sea without beginning, a sea without a shore. And without a beginning, how was he supposed to return?
“That’s right,” Hong Ling said. “The name, Sea of Bitterness, is because even after dedicating one’s entire life to cultivating, one still can’t break free of suffering. Or perhaps the essence of the Six Daos of Reincarnation is not strength. Rather, it is a change in one’s mindset.”
Hong Ling didn’t understand much of the Six Daos of Reincarnation. What exactly did the Six Daos signify?
“Not strength?”
At the Outer Peak, when Ye Mo observed the changes of the Six Daos, he discovered that each of them was control over a certain power. By comprehending the will of a certain dao, one could borrow the power of the dao. The six daos consisted of Heavenly Dao, Asura Dao, Human Dao, Hell Dao, Angry Spirit Dao, and Beast Dao.
Each dao was incredibly mighty, and when using the dao, the increase of one’s strength was very obvious.
Moreover, since Ye Mo had refined the Asura Power, he didn’t even need to activate the will to have access to Asura Power. That was strength.
But if Hong Ling’s theory was right, the essence of the Six Daos of Reincarnation was not strength, but one’s mindset instead. Ye Mo found that hard to accept.
“Perhaps by discovering the shore of this sea, the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation would be comprehended.”
Hong Ling spoke solemnly, “Think back to the Six Daos you have observed, then think of the Will of Four Seasons Reincarnation used by the Four Seasons Clan. Although the various wills are all different, when you reach the extremities of a dao, you return to the roots of the dao with the will reduced into nothing of significance.”
The Will of Four Seasons Reincarnation used by the Four Seasons Clan was also based on the cycle of reincarnation. The Will of Six Daos Reincarnation was obviously much more powerful than the Will of Four Seasons Reincarnation, but they also shared this same characteristic.
They both focused on the cycle of reincarnation, a cycle with no end, like the Sea of Bitterness where there was no end nor beginning.
“Do you know the way to leave this Sea of Bitterness?” Ye Mo asked.
Ye Mo could see that Hong Ling had a deep understanding of wills. She had most likely battled various experts using various wills alongside the Sky Blood Lady, long ago. Because of that, she had rich experience in terms of wills. So Ye Mo tried asking her if she knew anything.
“No, I don’t know how one can leave the Sea of Bitterness,” Hong Ling said. “But I have heard of a legend, a legend regarding the Patriarch Six Dao.”
“Patriarch Six Dao?” When Ye Mo heard that name, he had a feeling that was definitely an amazing individual. Normally, warriors with nicknames or honorifics were incredibly amazing individuals, like the Sky Blood Lady, the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, and now, this Patriarch Six Dao.
