In the Infinite Sea, the seawater surged and the black waves were endless. The Dao Race's treasured boat was cruising on the sea. On the boat, there were all kinds of shops, warehouses, pill shops, pharmacies … Everything that a Venerable could imagine, including eating, drinking, and having fun.
Of course, this didn't mean that the treasured boat was specially used for business.
In reality, it wasn't. This treasured boat was the home of the Dao Race!
The Dao Race looked similar to humans, and they even looked more "human" than some races. However, one shouldn't forget that the Dao Race wasn't human!
There were more than 2,000 Meng in the Infinite Sea. Humans lived in almost every Meng, but not a single one was the home of the Dao Race!
This was a very strange thing. Speaking of which, the Dao Race was rich and powerful, and their cultivation wasn't inferior to humans at all. They even considered themselves to be protectors of a higher level than humans, but they didn't occupy a single Meng.
Perhaps they liked to float on the Dao Sea and didn't have a fixed place to stay.
Therefore, this Dao Race's treasured boat was a trading ground for humans, but to the Dao Race, it was their home.
"Fellow Daoist, why do you have to be so calculative?" Liu Xiangyu had brought his Dao partner to the treasured boat to broaden his horizons. He was afraid of causing trouble, so he couldn't help but complain about Ye Kong's behavior.
Ye Kong said, "It's fine. These Dao Race are just lackeys at the bottom. If we humans are afraid of them, and even the ancient giants are afraid of their lackeys, won't we lose our prestige in the long run and be looked down upon by the Dao Race for no reason?"
"This …" Liu Xiangyu nodded. After thinking about it, it made sense. He thought to himself that he was already a quasi-ancient giant who had refined two spiritual sources, so there was indeed no need for him to be afraid of the Dao Race who guarded the door and sold tickets.
From the outside, the Dao Race's treasured boat looked like a huge mountain, but it also looked like a huge boat. It was rather majestic. When they entered, they realized that the inside was even more majestic. The spacious space and all kinds of array formations made it seem like they were standing on a continent.
Wang Shujing, who was here for the first time, constantly exclaimed in surprise. Her eyes also constantly looked left and right as they walked along the road. When they reached the end of the road, they discovered that there was a huge space in front of them. They were standing on the highest level, and looking down, there were layers upon layers below. In the middle was a huge empty hall, and in that empty space, there were seven-colored meteors dancing, rotating eternally in the empty space, converging into a circular pattern.
"This Dao Race's treasure boat has a total of over a hundred levels. However, we humans can only enter the upper thirty levels. If we pay the entrance fee of black crystals, we can enter ten more levels. As for the lower 60 floors, they are where the Dao clansmen live. It is said that the higher the rank and cultivation of the Dao clansmen, the deeper they live. "
It wasn't Liu Xiangyu's first time here. As he walked, he explained the situation to Wang Shujing and Ye Kong.
"It's like this." Ye Kong didn't say much and just followed behind.
Wang Shujing asked again, "What's up with the seven different meteors?"
Liu Xiangyu said, "That's the totem of the Dao clansmen. They believe that there are seven fundamental laws in this world. The seven meteors of different colors represent the seven most eternal Dharmic Origins. It is said that there was once a Dao clansman who grasped these seven Dharmic Origins and became the Wanmeng Emperor!"
"There's such a thing?" When Ye Kong heard this, he was a little surprised.
Wang Shujing giggled and said, "The Dao clansmen must be bragging. There are only over two thousand Meng now. How can there be a Wanmeng?"
Liu Xiangyu said, "The Dao clansmen said that before humans appeared, there was the glory of the other clans. There was a Wanmeng then, and the so-called Wanmeng Emperor appeared at that time."
"Who knows if what happened before humans appeared is true or false."
Although Wang Shujing did not really believe it, Ye Kong felt that it was possible. Success, residence, failure, and emptiness were cycles. The people of the Dao Clan had seen this point, so they would rather drift for a long time than occupy Meng Yuan. This was because they knew that no matter how glorious Meng was, it could not escape the fate of "failure" in the end.
Ye Kong followed Liu Xiangyu down the stairs, pointed at the seven shooting stars, and asked, "I wonder what exactly are these seven most fundamental source techniques?"
Liu Xiangyu said, "I'm not too sure either. It seems that the first is the Water and Fire Dharmic Origins, the second is the Reality and Illusion Dharmic Origins, the third is the Good and Evil Dharmic Origins, the fourth is the Space-Time Dharmic Origins, and the fifth is the Life and Death Dharmic Origins …"
Speaking up to this point, Liu Xiangyu didn't know much about the last two Dharmic Origins. Coincidentally, a Dao clansman who was passing by said, "Our clan believes in the Seven Great Dharmic Origins. Two of them are the Reincarnation Dharmic Origins and the Eternal Dharmic Origins!"
"So it's these two." Ye Kong nodded inwardly. If he could refine this kind of Dharmic Origin, he would be able to control Reincarnation and Eternal Dharmic Origins. Coupled with the five Dharmic Origins that he had cultivated for over a thousand years, it wouldn't be impossible for him to become the Myriad Mist Emperor. It seemed that the Dao clan hadn't lied.
However, the difficulty of reaching this step could be said to be terrifying. Most importantly, if the Dao clan really had the Myriad Mist Emperor, he shouldn't have died. Why wasn't he dead now?
Just as Ye Kong's thoughts were flying, Liu Xiangyu and the Dao clansman who had spoken earlier started chatting.
"I've opened a small ancient book shop. Why don't the three of you take a look?" The Dao clansman was rather good at doing business. After a few words, he invited them to take a seat in the shop.
Liu Xiangyu and the others hadn't come with the intention of buying anything. Since they had been invited, they gladly went.
Ye Kong said, "Let's go take a look then."
When they arrived at the Dao clansman's shop, they saw that there were ancient books in various languages. Some of the ancient books were recorded in jade slips, some were recorded in books, and some were engraved on special materials. Their values were all different. In front of every ancient book, its origins were written in detail. Walking there felt like they had arrived at a large library.
Ye Kong walked past and didn't discover anything. When the time came, Wang Shujing would choose seriously.
Seeing that Ye Kong was standing there without moving, the Dao clan's boss asked, "Fellow Daoist, don't you want to take a look?"
Ye Kong shook his head and said, "There are many ancient books here, but there isn't anything I want."
The Dao clan's boss said, "We have quite a lot of ancient books here. Tell me which one you want. I'll help you find it."
Ye Kong said, "I'm more interested in the birth of Chaos. I want to find content in this area."
"This? This isn't easy to find." When the boss heard that, he frowned and said, "Your hobby is too special. As a bookstore owner, I haven't seen any ancient books in this area."
Ye Kong laughed and didn't say anything else.
Liu Xiangyu and Wang Shujing walked around but didn't find anything they wanted to buy.
The Dao clansmen had straightforward personalities. Seeing that they didn't buy anything, the shop owner's expression immediately turned ugly. In the end, Ye Kong spent a Red Crystal and bought an ancient book about the products under the Endless Sea. Only then did the shop owner's expression turn slightly better.
When the three of them left the shop, a member of the Dao Clan walked into the shop and asked, "What did the three of them buy? What did they ask?"
