Chapter 1636: Chapter 120: The Battle Begins

“Is this the Dao of the Little Cang World?”

Wang Ba stood there blankly, his gaze sweeping around.

No, there was no longer any distinction between up or down, left or right here. All he could see were the strands of the ‘Dao’, black and white, difficult for even him to comprehend, densely woven like a web, overlapping together, horizontally and vertically extending throughout the space he was observing.

Forming a dynamic mosaic of interwoven black and white.

These ‘Dao’ are intricately connected, merging with unimaginable subtlety.

Clearly, there are only two lines, black and white, yet every seemingly simple crossing, overlapping, and weaving at a ‘node’ seems to be able to generate something completely new and different.

With Wang Ba’s current mastery over various Dao, he could barely discern the more prominent ‘nodes’.

His heart stirred slightly, and the webs rapidly expanded in his consciousness:

“Could this be… fire?”

“This is water… this should be Mu…”

Among the Five Elements, he had immersed himself the longest and had the deepest mastery, quickly identifying a tiny portion of suspected Five Elements nodes from among them.

The reason it was said to be a tiny portion is that he only discerned the most pure parts of these nodes, but once these nodes connected or overlapped with new ones, he could no longer understand them.

Even for this simplest and purest part, he was only estimating alongside guessing, comparing with his own Dao Domain, unable to be completely certain.

Wang Ba slightly furrowed his brow.

This wasn’t the result he imagined.

He originally thought that once inside, it would be like observing the Complete Heaven Star Map, receiving guidance to clear his doubts, a realization akin to enlightenment.

But in reality, it wasn’t like that at all.

The Dao of the Little Cang World was too meticulous, too perfect. He couldn’t even find any scattered threads among these webs to start simply.

But he quickly figured it out.

The Little Cang World could nurture all beings and even accommodate Unification Realm cultivators. Although its decline began due to the depletion of Chaos Origin Substance, the Dao forming the Little Cang World was the same as before.

This meant the Dao of the Little Cang World was far from simple.

He, a Divinity Transformation cultivator without even a completely perfected Class I Dao Domain, before such Dao, it would be strange if he could easily understand it.

Understanding this, Wang Ba didn’t easily give up.

After years of cultivation, his Dao-heart was as strong as steel, no longer easily shaken.

The Dao of the Little Cang World in front of him was difficult, but not entirely impossible to tackle.

“First, see if there are any imperfections.”

Wang Ba soon thought of a method.

A mature Dao is complete and sophisticated; even if he could decipher it, it would require immense time.

But if he found imperfections, it would be like finding a thread in a ball of yarn; though still difficult, it could lead to a breakthrough.

With this thought, his mind moved slightly, and his consciousness rapidly passed over the numerous webs.

Quickly, his consciousness ‘saw’ on these layers of webs patches distinctly different from the surrounding ‘nodes’.

Wang Ba’s consciousness immediately paused, carefully sweeping over these nodes.

On these nodes, he faintly felt a seemingly familiar sensation.

Compared to the normal black and white nodes around, these nodes, whether in subtlety or complexity, were still somewhat unclear to Wang Ba, but their difficulty had markedly decreased.

“Are these the Dao Domain of those who repaired heaven during the celestial events before?”

Wang Ba’s consciousness moved slightly, and a guess inadvertently arose.

Once this guess emerged, Wang Ba couldn’t contain himself.

Wasn’t this exactly what he was looking for, the imperfections?

Though the nodes formed from these Dao Domain seem affected by surrounding black and white lines, gradually becoming complex, it’s already one of the few places he could utilize.

He didn’t hesitate, swiftly skimming over these suspected nodes formed from Heaven Repairers’ Dao Domain, quickly locating a node distinctly related to the Fire element in the Five Elements, and began careful comprehension and deciphering.

Fire is the easiest to identify and most active in nature among the Five Elements, and its Dao Intention often exhibits similar behavior.

However, due to different cultivators’ understanding, even the same fire may lead to Dao Domain tending toward explosive or gentle traits. Some may even combine other Dao Laws, forming distinct Fire Dao Domains.

Dissecting these nodes, splitting the Dao Intention he could grasp to utilize, then following clues to understand parts of the neighboring nodes’ Dao Intention, and infer the entire context of adjacent nodes.

Through this process, he could both understand the composition of the Little Cang World’s ‘Dao’ and accelerate the perfection of his own Dao Domain through comprehension of useful Dao Intention within.

Merging with heaven and earth, though for now premature for him, if he truly could glean a little insight, it wouldn’t be any less significant than personally observing the Outer Realm star sea, a major opportunity and significant yield.

However, this process was undoubtedly fraught with unimaginable challenges.

It was akin to a child just learning to walk yet needing to learn flying skills from observing others.

Yet at this moment, he wasn’t thinking about anything else, fully immersing himself. He knew this might be his last major opportunity within the Little Cang World, and he couldn’t let it slip away from his grasp.
