Chapter 677: The Three Realms

"Cannot speak?"

Jiang Yun felt puzzled when he saw the fearful expression on Mu Shaofeng’s face.

Although the master of the Dao God Temple was very powerful, they were currently in a formation deep in the ocean of the Mountain-Sea World, not at the Dao God Temple.

Here, just mentioning the words "Taoist Lord" shouldn’t scare you so much!

Mu Shaofeng continued to say through voice transmission, "You don’t know, the Lord of Dao God Temple once made a great vow."

"Anyone who mentions his name must worship and follow his ways!"

"Otherwise, it’s a huge sin, you won’t even know how you died!"

Seeing Jiang Yun’s skeptical expression, Mu Shaofeng started to get anxious and went on to say, "Don’t think I’m joking, the Lord of Dao God Temple has countless incarnations, and possesses incredible abilities to hear and see everything."

"Among the multitude of worlds in the Tao, even the slightest movement, as long as he wishes, he knows it all."

"I’ll tell you a secret, if you’ve heard it, don’t ever reveal it."

"There was once a very powerful clan, whose chief didn’t take the Lord’s words seriously, treated it as a joke, mentioned his name three times in a row, and the next day, the chief died!"

"And from that day on, his clan faced all sorts of disasters, gradually declined, and eventually disappeared without a trace."

"Even though it’s a mix of natural disasters and human mistakes, everyone knows exactly what happened, so it’s best not to mention his name if it’s not necessary!"

"That’s so bossy!"

Jiang Yun couldn’t help but frown, thinking that this Taoist Lord’s actions were really unreasonable.

By mentioning his name, one must follow and worship him, practice his ways, or face terrible consequences.

"It’s not bossy, it’s powerful!"

Mu Shaofeng shook his head and said, "But, thinking about it, the Desolate World tribe is indeed pitiful. Why would the powerful Gu Clan bother competing with the Dao God Temple for no reason at all?"

Jiang Yun suddenly looked up at Mu Shaofeng with his eyes shining and asked, "What was that group you just mentioned called?"

"The Desolate World tribe! The desolation of the Desolate World! Why, have you never heard of them?"

Mu Shaofeng was puzzled by Jiang Yun’s reaction but still explained, "The Desolate World tribe is a special group. Nobody knows how they came to be, but they do not practice magic or techniques; they only cultivate the Desolate Mark."

"The mysterious Desolate Mark can neutralize various powers and control others by marking them."

"This type of cultivation feels like cheating, as most attacks from cultivators have no effect on them…"

Jiang Yun was too distracted to listen to Mu Shaofeng’s endless chatter, with only one phrase echoing in his mind!

In ancient times, there was a tribe named Desolate, who rejected the ideals of the Great Dao, choosing to stay outside of it forever!

This is the sorrowful voice from the Tao Seal, spoken after sensing the Desolate Mark.

Combining Mu Shaofeng’s secrets, Jiang Yun suddenly had a profound realization.

Surprisingly, the Desolate World tribe had been wiped out by the Taoist Lord!

However, the Desolate World tribe was not completely extinct, as at least one survivor named Dao Yuanzhi still lived!

It’s no wonder Dao Yuanzhi keeps his whereabouts hidden, never revealing any clues.

Because he had a deep grudge, he had a big problem with Taoist Lord and Dao God Temple.

Unfortunately, he had no chance against Taoist Lord and Dao God Temple, so he had to hide his identity.

If Taoist Lord or people from Dao God Temple found out about him, they would do anything to capture or kill him.

In other words, was everything Dao Yuanzhi did for revenge?

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Yun’s expression became dark.

Even though he didn’t like Dao God Temple, he never imagined they could be so powerful.

The strong Desolate World tribe faced extinction simply for not worshipping Taoist Lord.

Now he unknowingly offended Dao God Temple, leading them to send Boundary Patrollers to capture him.

At this moment, Mu Shaofeng’s voice rang out again, "Alright, let’s forget about this matter, but remember, don’t tell anyone!"

"Next, I will tell you about the strength of the Boundary Patroller and prepare you for it."

"Usually, the envoys in charge of patrolling the boundaries are from the Daoxing Realm."

Jiang Yun’s thoughts were successfully brought back by Mu Shaofeng’s words, "Daoxing Realm? Is it the first realm of the Three Realms of Asking?"

So far, due to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao in the Mountain-Sea World, the highest realm of cultivation known to him was the Sky Blessed Realm.

Although he knew that there were three realms beyond the Dao Tianyou Realm in the Three Realms of Asking, he had no idea what those three realms specifically were.

As the Taoist Child of the Seeking Dao Sect, Mu Shaofeng’s knowledge naturally surpassed Jiang Yun’s by far, and he was more comprehensive in what he knew.

Mu Shaofeng’s face regained a sense of pride as he said, "I almost forgot that there is no existence of Dao in your Desolate World, so naturally you wouldn’t be aware of higher realms. Let me explain it simply to you!"

Jiang Yun stopped paying attention to Mu Shaofeng’s self-righteousness and listened attentively.

The Three Realms of Asking consist of the Daoxing Realm, Daotai Realm, and Human Dao Isomorphism!

Each level has nine stages: beginning, middle, and end.

The concept of seeking the Dao means that a cultivator who has entered the Great Dao gate has the qualification to question what the Dao is, so it is called seeking the Dao.

The Daoxing Realm is when the Dao Spirit develops its own Dao nature, allowing the Dao Spirit to have independent consciousness and cultivate itself into a doppelganger, which is like a second self.

It is only at this point that a cultivator truly possesses a second life!

Even if the main body perishes, with the help of the Dao Spirit, a cultivator can regain a physical body through practice. Even if the Dao Spirit is damaged, it can be healed through cultivation.

The Daotai Realm involves merging the Blessed Land cave within the elixir field into a complete Daotai structure.

As the Dao Spirit gradually ascends the Daotai, it is like a leap of a fish at the Dragon’s Gate. Once it surpasses the Daotai, it can transcend the heavens and earth.

The Human Dao Isomorphism, as the final stage of seeking the Dao, indicates that one has comprehended the Dao and merged with it, achieving The Unity of Humanity and Tao.

After listening, Jiang Yun couldn’t help but ask, "Is Human Dao Isomorphism the ultimate realm of cultivation?"

"That’s hard to say!"

Mu Shaofeng scratched his head and said, "But it shouldn’t be the ultimate."

"Because the sect master of the Nine Great Dao Sects, as well as the Taoist Demon, are basically at the same level of Human Dao Isomorphism."

"But they are still in closed-door cultivation all day, searching for higher levels. Whether they have found them or not, I really don’t know!"

Mu Shaofeng waved his hand at Jiang Yun and said, "You don’t need to overthink it, it’s just aiming too high!"

"The realm of Human Dao Isomorphism is not easy to reach. It requires going through the Five Tribulations of Heavenly Beings, each more terrifying than the last."

"Throughout history, in the myriad Tao Worlds, there have been countless cultivators, but only a few have truly reached the realm of Human Dao Isomorphism!"

"My father often told me that it’s best to go with the flow. When you reach a certain realm, a certain height, then you will naturally understand some things."

As Mu Shaofeng’s story came to a stop, Jiang Yun remained silent, only nodding after a while and clasping his hands together towards Mu Shaofeng, saying, "Thank you!"

The thank you was truly felt by Jiang Yun.

Even though the distance between Mu Shaofeng and Jiang Yun was great, Mu Shaofeng’s words at least showed Jiang Yun the path ahead.
