Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ye Mo had always been interested in ancient legends. Since he had no idea what to do anyway, he might as well listened to the story about the Patriarch Six Dao.
“10,000 years ago, in the distant past, an intense war erupted,” Hong Ling explained calmly. “Patriarch Six Dao, Patriarch Martial Dragon, and Holy Mother Tian Xie joined hands to kill the Primordial Shenrui. The crisis of the continent was averted. But unfortunately, the Patriarch Six Dao was killed during the war as well. It was said that he was buried in the Desolate Mountain.”
“Are you saying that the treasure of Desolate Mountain is, in fact, the inheritance of the Patriarch Six Dao.” Ye Mo was alarmed at the realization. Averting the crisis of the continent with one war. Those three people Hong Ling mentioned were most definitely super experts during the ancient past.
“Perhaps,” Hong Ling said. “This Patriarch Six Dao is the creator of the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation. If you’re able to obtain the inheritance, you’ll be able to reach the heavens with a single step.”
Listening to Hong Ling, although Ye Mo was also filled with astonishment, but this didn’t seem to be of any help for comprehending the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation. Thus, he urged her, “Hong Ling, we should focus on finding a way to leave this Sea of Bitterness.”
He had originally thought that Hong Ling’s legend would be helpful for him to comprehend the Will of Six Daos Reincarnation.
He only had three days there, so he didn’t want to waste any time. And the moment the three days were over, he had to prepare for his return to the Tianwu Kingdom.
“My story’s not finished yet,” Hong Ling said. “Each time the Patriarch Six Dao used a martial technique, he muttered, ‘The six daos are all bitter,’ without stop. Since the six daos are bitter, perhaps to leave this Sea of Bitterness, you have to find the way through the will of the six daos.”
Hearing that, Ye Mo’s looked at the sea around him again. Shortly after, fierce beasts appeared from the distant and charged straight at him.
“What’s that?” Ye Mo was astonished when he saw those beasts.
“These are all the beasts of the Sea of Bitterness,” Hong Ling said. “They’re all at the Transcendence Realm, and they’re forever trapped here in the Sea of Bitterness. Looks like this Will of Six Daos Reincarnation is truly powerful, something far beyond normal wills.”
Hong Ling continued speaking, “Looks like they’re not here to attack you.”
When Ye Mo heard that, he started sharing the same feeling as well. The beasts charged straight at him, and when they reached him, they all stopped.
On the heads of these beasts, humans appeared.
“Young brother, the Sea of Bitterness has no bounds, turn your head to see the shore. Do not be lost and follow your heart.”
“Young brother, the six daos are not six. To live is to suffer, to grow old is to suffer, and to be sick is to suffer. Everything is suffering, and if that is the case, why not look for joy in the Sea of Bitterness?”
The beasts started speaking to Ye Mo.
“Ye Mo, they’re right,” Hong Ling said. “Even when traveling the Sea of Bitterness, don’t rely on your eyes. Rely on your heart, reach the shore, and comprehend the Six Daos of Reincarnation, breaking free from the Sea of Bitterness.”
Those were the last words Hong Ling spoke. No matter how much outsiders helped, everything still relied on Ye Mo himself. He had to discover his heart and find himself.
With his eyes shut, Ye Mo’s consciousness started drifting around. He remained in this condition for an entire day.
Ye Mo didn’t know how the day ended. By the time he opened his eyes, the beasts were no longer there. Finally, he took his first step forward.
The step was taken in an incomparably casual manner.
And then, he took his second step. Yet, for some reason, the second step seemed incredibly difficult. Even if he knew that the shore was right before him, he was unable to take this step.
He activated 220,000 streams of Caged Dragon Power, feeling the power surging through him, but he felt like he didn’t have the energy to even take this step forward.
“First step, Asura Dao. Second step, Beast Dao. Third step, Hell Dao. Fourth step, Angry Spirit Dao. Fifth step, Heavenly Dao. Sixth step, Human Dao. Sixth step, Reincarnation, boundless power!”
A dignified voice rang out within his Energy Center. The voice was extremely familiar. It was the voice of the Dragon God’s Will.
“Senior, senior!” Ye Mo howled, but the Dragon God’s Will didn’t respond. But Ye Mo was certain that the Dragon God’s Will’s words were important in his effort to leave the Sea of Bitterness.
“First step, Asura Dao. Second step, Beast Dao,” Ye Mo chanted, and suddenly, his eyes lit up. He was able to take the first step easily because the first step was the Asura Dao, the dao he had already comprehended. The second step was the Beast Dao, and to take the second step, he had to first comprehend the Beast Dao.
At the thought, Ye Mo’s entire person was stirred. He decided to try comprehending the Beast Dao based on his understandings of the six daos.
He had already fought the disciples of the Beast Palace many times before. And he had observed the Six Light Formation, too.
Scenes surfaced in his mind, giving him flashes of comprehension.
Beast Dao, Hell Dao, Angry Spirit Dao, Heavenly Dao, Human Dao!
One will after another surfaced. Ye Mo’s brain didn’t stop for even a moment. He relied entirely on his own understanding to comprehend all these wills.
When he first started comprehending these wills, he was lost, panicked, and confused.
As time passed, despair crept in as well.
Of the six doors representing the six daos, it was extremely hard for a normal person to comprehend even one of them.
But now, Ye Mo had to rely on his own understanding instead of the doors to comprehend each and every one of them.
Ye Mo knew that he had already stepped on the path to the shore. And since he had already started, he had no way of return. If he returned, the Sea of Bitterness was waiting for him. He would either continue wallowing in the Sea of Bitterness or he would comprehend the six daos and break free from the Sea of Bitterness, like a butterfly breaking free of the cocoon.
“I can’t fail. I still need to return to Tianwu Kingdom and save my aunt.”
As the scenes of the wills flipped through his mind, this sudden thought surfaced as well.
“I still need to avenge father, I still need to rescue Ling’er, I still need to find mother, I still need to get Yue Yue back by my side.”
Abruptly, an indomitable belief surged in his mind, a belief that fueled him with the willpower to continue fighting on. Belief was what fueled humanity as they stepped forward, one step after another.
As the belief rose, it shattered the scenes of the numerous wills into fragments before combining them all again.
Why had all those disciples failed to comprehend this will in the past? Because they lacked an understanding of all the wills. And even if they had as much understanding as Ye Mo did, they still lacked Ye Mo’s indomitable conviction.
Ye Mo had succeeded. He had comprehended all six daos.
“Finally, I comprehended all of them.”
Ye Mo was mentally exhausted. But his conviction was firm, and he could feel that he had already understood the other five daos.
Ye Mo stepped forward again, taking the second step, third step, fourth step, fifth step, and sixth step.
He wanted to escape the Sea of Bitterness in a single attempt, but when the tried taking the seventh step, he found that he was stuck again.
“How is this possible?” Ye Mo despaired. “I’ve already comprehended all six wills. Why can’t I take the seventh step?”
Once again, he was astonished. He stared at the still boundless Sea of Bitterness before him. And again, a blank look surfaced in his eyes.
