Chapter 407: Opening The Dao Path (Part 1)

Even a wisp of chaotic purple light was not enough to open a Dao path that surpa.s.sed a thousand miles.

It was no wonder Hong Yuanchu had only opened up a thousand-mile Dao path after two Daoyuan.

Without the help of a supreme treasure, one had to rely on one’s own strength to open their Dao path. In most cases, this was painstakingly slow.

Moreover, their comprehension had to be able to keep up.

Only with new insights and new understandings of the Great Dao could one continue to open the Dao path.

At the same time, they had to stabilize and consolidate their Dao path, which would take a long time.

Back then, he had thought that Hong Yuanchu and the others were useless for achieving so little given the time they had.

However, he now had a clear understanding.

Even with two treasures and his system-a.s.sisted comprehension, he had not even extended his Dao path to a thousand miles yet.

In this Great Dao era, the events that led to the expulsion of the three races had resulted in a lack of path-opening supreme treasures in the nine zones.

Therefore, Hong Yuanchu and the others had to rely on their own strength to open their Dao paths.

He had given each of them a small chaos stone, so they had likely made some progress by now.

An axe appeared in Chu Xuan’s hand.

Heaven-splitting Axe!

This was a path-opening treasure!

His Dao aura condensed into a figure on the Great Dao that rushed forward with the Heaven-splitting Axe to help the chaotic purple light to extend the Dao path.

It reduced the consumption rate of the chaotic purple light.

Boom!

His figure swung the axe repeatedly, consuming his Dao aura at a rapid pace.

At this rate, he would be able to extend his Dao path to a thousand miles.

However, as his Dao path grew longer, the edge of the Dao path began to weaken and grow unstable.

Chu Xuan frowned.

Would he have to split the Ancient Chaos Mountain in two?

That would definitely weaken its suppressing and stabilizing power.

Because he was opening his Dao path so quickly, the Ancient Chaos Mountain’s suppressing and stabilizing power could not reach the newly-opened sections of the Dao path in time.

‘Should I slow down?’

Chu Xuan immediately dispelled this thought.

If he slowed down, then he would not be able to reduce the consumption of the chaotic purple light.

Then, he thought of something and a book appeared in his hand.

The Earth Creation Scripture!

He flipped open the book and waved it. Boom!

On the newly-opened section of the Dao path, a small realm appeared that was only ten miles in radius.

Chu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

He had been too worried that creating the realm on his Dao path would crush it.

In the end, he was able to stabilize his Dao path.

After thinking about it, he understood.

The Earth Creation Scripture used the power of the Great Dao to form the realm.

It was because of this that the realm would not crush his Dao path, but stabilize it instead.

The Earth Creation Scripture was undoubtedly a supreme treasure.

Chu Xuan waved his hands and continuously extended his Dao path. Whenever the newly-opened sections of the Dao path became unstable, he would use the Earth Creation Scripture to enlarge the initial realm he created.

Still, Chu Xuan did not plan to turn the realm into a world.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be impossible to hide the Dao path he had opened?

It was not a good thing to be discovered.

He quietly continued his path-opening efforts.

The chaotic purple light was getting dimmer and dimmer, and Chu Xuan’s Dao aura was also rapidly running dry.

There was no concept of time in clearing the way.

Chu Xuan did not know how long it had been since he had started breaking through.

Other Daoyuan realm experts would take thousands of years to break through.

However, Chu Xuan felt that his breakthrough would end in a month.

At the very least, it should be less than a year.

After he reached the Daoyuan realm, he would probably receive another system reward, which filled him with antic.i.p.ation.

He was certain that he was the fastest and youngest to reach the Daoyuan realm.

He would set two records.

What kind of reward would the system give for that?

The reward for the 60-year milestone was chaotic purple light.

Then what about 70 years?

Or even a hundred years?

Chu Xuan’s heart began to beat rapidly.

He was getting ahead of himself.

Chu Xuan calmed the restlessness in his heart. He had to be steady and stable.

Once the nine zones’ Great Dao was devoured by the Heavenly Dao laws, he would no longer have to remain in the courtyard.

He would be able to leave and show off.

Boom!

The Heaven-splitting Axe swung mightily, and the dim chaotic purple light exploded in a final blaze of glory and disappeared.
