Dragon Hidden in the Sky

The big yellow dog nodded and said, "The mark of a Domain Lord is their domain! The mark of a Venerable is their comprehension of the Great Dao's rhythm! The Great Dao's rhythm and the domain are things that accompany a cultivator throughout their life!"

"And the so-called sage is the law!" the big yellow dog said. "The law is the special path you cultivate, the special law, the sword law you comprehend, the fist law, and the body cultivation law you master!"

"With the laws, and by using the power of the laws to activate them, one can... instantly activate combat techniques, and make one's words become law!" said the big yellow dog.

"What is a law?" Ye Qing asked.

"How can I describe it to you?" the big yellow dog said, "The so-called law is the origin, something to understand, comprehend, and master... a kind of origin with certain characteristics. Then, you merge this origin with the rhythm of the Great Dao, making it your own... This is the power of the law. For example, the origin of the sword law is the realm of the Sword God!"

"Of course, most people break through to the Saint realm by using their own unique characteristics as a catalyst!" the big yellow dog said. "Do you know why unique or rare characteristics increase the probability of breaking through to the Saint realm, while ordinary characteristics make it difficult even for Venerables?"

Ye Qing shook his head blankly and said.

“Let’s take flames as a simple comparison! Ordinary flames are far removed from the laws of the Great Dao. Rare flames are inherently closer to the laws of the Great Dao. But the Phoenix Flame and the Vermilion Bird Flame themselves carry a certain amount of law power! The origin is the rule, the rule of flames…” the big yellow dog said, “Do you understand what I’m saying?”

"So, if I want to break through to the Saint realm, I need to master at least the seven laws corresponding to my characteristics before I can enter the Saint realm? But what the hell are the laws for Magician, Eye of the Gods, Spiritual Master, and Dharma Body Heaven and Earth? They're too abstract. I can understand the power of nature, but..." Ye Qing said speechlessly.

"And your path is different too!" the big yellow dog said again. "Your Dao rhythms are captured, and these Dao rhythms belong entirely to you. But the power of laws, to some extent, comes from the world, which is contrary to your cultivation path. So you have to find a way to explore it yourself!" The big yellow dog said, "Find a path that belongs to you to break through to the Saint realm!"

“After you break through to the Saint level, I feel that becoming a Great Emperor will be very easy for you, after all, you have too many unique qualities!” The big yellow dog said, “At that time, as long as you comprehend some things, you can smoothly enter the Great Emperor level. So, comparatively speaking, I think the Saint level is the most difficult for you.”

"Damn it, when I broke through to the Domain Lord level, you also said that breaking through to the Domain Lord level was the hardest for me!" Ye Qing looked at the big yellow dog speechlessly and said, "Now you've become a Saint!"

“Under normal circumstances, my analysis is correct, but you seem a bit off!” the big yellow dog said. “That’s true, perhaps when you break through to the Great Emperor realm, your path will be different from ours.” The big yellow dog then gave Ye Qing a disdainful look and said, “So, you might be a burden!”

Ye Qing: "..."

"But don't rush it, this isn't something that can be accomplished overnight!" the big yellow dog said. "You've progressed very quickly, just recently breaking through, so take some time to consolidate your progress."

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I understand. I'm not in a hurry. Although I want to break through to the Great Emperor realm and return to the universe as soon as possible, I also understand that this is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

The big yellow dog nodded and said, "It's good that you understand this!"

"By the way, have you had any trouble lately?" Ye Qing asked with slight surprise.

"It seems that battle really intimidated a lot of people!" the big yellow dog said. "But lately I've been feeling uneasy, as if something might happen."

"Actually, if a late-stage Saint-level expert leads the team, along with four or five other Saint-level experts, we'll be in serious trouble," the big yellow dog said.

The Thousand Mountains Domain may not have any Great Emperors, after all, Great Emperors are undoubtedly at the top of this world.

However, there must be experts at the peak of the Saint level.

So far, no one has shown up, which has surprised Ye Qing.

"Hopefully... one or two of Long Rui and Master will be able to break through to the Saint realm during this time. Once they break through to the Saint realm, they can crush those of the same level!" the big yellow dog said. "Then it will be easier to defend this sect, especially Jiji. If it breaks through to the Saint realm, it might be able to summon a Royal-level beast to guard our mountain gate. Then we will be completely worry-free!"

"Are they all still in seclusion?" Ye Qing asked.

"Jiji and Ao Jing have gone to the depths of the Thousand Mountains Domain. Firstly, they're looking for opportunities to break through to the Saint level, and secondly, they're drawing up some maps of the Thousand Mountains Domain, marking relatively safe places so that it will be safer for sect members to explore and search for resources later," the big yellow dog said.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I also want to go out for a walk!"

"It's good for you to go out and explore!" The big yellow dog nodded. "You've just broken through, so it's a good thing for you to go out and interact with some people in this world. Leave a mark behind, but don't go too far from the Thousand Mountains Domain. If anything happens, I'll notify you immediately so you can come back right away. I have a feeling that the Demon Child and the others' next attack won't be far off!"

"Once I break through to the Saint realm, I will surely kill those people!" Ye Qing's eyes were filled with coldness.

"Where are you planning to go?" the big yellow dog asked.

"Let's stay near the Thousand Mountains Domain, or even enter the Thousand Mountains Domain!" Ye Qing said, "Solid cultivation is ultimately too slow for improvement. Combat gives you a different understanding of many things."

"Alright, go explore the outside world. Leave Qianshan Domain to Jiji and Ao Jing. Come back when you encounter any opportunities. After Lingtian Pavilion establishes itself, if we want to continue developing, we'll probably have to clash with some nearby sects. It'll be good for you to go and find out more." The big yellow dog asked, "When do we set off?"
