Chapter 3385: Dao Lord Potential, Great Dao Divine Ability

In less than an hour after the Great Dao reward descended, Lin Moyu successfully condensed his 90th Dao pattern, breaking through the limits of fourth level Dao Venerable and smoothly advancing to fifth level Dao Venerable.

His accumulation was too profound, making the breakthrough effortless and natural.

His aura increased sharply as powerful forces were born within his body, and his soul power became even more vast.

All his powers were increasing. Each spell star flickered with light as their power changed along with his realm.

However, it was only an increase in power. The spell stars didn't fundamentally change.

The combat power of the undead army increased, but their numbers didn't change.

As his realm increased, it became more difficult for spells to undergo qualitative changes.

But as long as the spells were still strengthening, Lin Moyu was very satisfied.

His spells were already too strong. If they kept undergoing qualitative changes, Lin Moyu was even worried it might bring some unwanted consequences.

Everything has its extremes. A delicate balance needs to be maintained between yin and yang.

This advancement was within Lin Moyu's expectations. The whole process could be said to be uneventful.

However, when condensing Dao patterns, Lin Moyu still noticed some differences.

The difference came from the power contained in the Dao patterns.

Previously, when he comprehended multiple Great Daos, the multiple Great Daos didn't fuse when condensing Dao patterns, but remained independent.

This resulted in each Dao pattern having its own attributes. Although they were all his Dao patterns, the Great Dao power contained within them was actually different.

This wasn't noticeable normally, but it was always a problem.

The Dao patterns condensed this time showed obvious differences. Each Dao pattern contained the power of six Great Daos.

This power was led by the life and death force of the Undying Great Dao, fusing the power of the other five Great Daos together to form a whole.

There was no conflict, it was very harmonious and very powerful.

This was related to his comprehension of multiple Great Dao cultivation methods. Since he himself was already led by the Undying Great Dao, the Dao patterns naturally changed.

So starting from the 86th Dao pattern, each Dao pattern was stronger than those condensed before.

The increase wasn't much, just a little bit, but Lin Moyu didn't care about how strong the Dao patterns were. What mattered was that the essence of the Dao patterns had changed, which was more important than the effect.

Now his Dao patterns were divided into two batches, old and new. The new batch consisted of five new Dao patterns that fused six Great Daos.

The old batch consisted of 85 Dao patterns that each fused different Great Dao powers.

For Lin Moyu, this wasn't a good thing. The Dao patterns needed to be unified not just individually, but as a whole.

So after completing the breakthrough, while the Great Dao reward was still abundant, Lin Moyu stopped condensing new Dao patterns and used the Great Dao reward to transform the old Dao patterns instead.

Transformation was much easier than condensation and much faster. He could transform several patterns almost every minute.

This efficiency exceeded Lin Moyu's expectations.

Lin Moyu felt that the reason he could transform so smoothly was related to his soul level.

His soul level had already reached eighth-grade innate soul, and was even in the late stage, no worse than Gu Hanyu's.

Although the eighth-grade innate soul currently couldn't be converted into his actual combat power, the different level could imperceptibly bring many benefits.

The most direct benefit was that he could comprehend the Great Dao faster.

It was the same now. The speed of transforming Dao patterns was very fast. He had finished transforming all the old Dao patterns before the Great Dao reward ended.

The 90 Dao patterns became identical, resonating with each other like starlight illuminating his soul.

The Dao patterns became a whole. Lin Moyu felt his spells had strengthened a bit more, and his soul had also become a bit stronger.

His foundation became more profound. Future breakthroughs would be easier, without any bottlenecks.

The Great Dao reward finally ended. This time only five new Dao patterns were condensed, but Lin Moyu wasn't disappointed at all. On the contrary, he was somewhat excited.

Completely transforming the old Dao patterns was more important than condensing new ones.

After the Great Dao reward ended, Lin Moyu glanced at his soul world.

His soul world was currently moving, with the World Tree and dragon soul crystal pushing it towards an unknown place.

Lin Moyu left the soul crystals in his soul world for the dragon soul crystal to eat when it returned.

He slowly opened his eyes to see Old Tree smiling at him, "Congratulations, young friend Lin. You've broken through again!"

Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Old Tree. This junior just broke through with the help of the Great Dao reward."

Old Tree said, "There are countless paths of cultivation. Sudden enlightenment, pills, hard cultivation are all paths, and so are Great Dao rewards. In the end, we only look at results, not the process."

Lin Moyu nodded, "This junior has learned."

At this time, Lin Moyu noticed Gu Hanyu looking at him strangely. He asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Gu Hanyu said, "You have a lot of Dao patterns."

Lin Moyu frankly admitted, "Indeed, quite a few."

Gu Hanyu said, "Your basic Dao patterns should exceed one."

Old Tree was somewhat surprised, "Old Gu, could you have seen wrong?"

Gu Hanyu said, "Whether I saw wrong or not, just ask him."

Lin Moyu said, "Elder Gu didn't see wrong. It does exceed one."

Old Tree's eyes widened, "Goodness, your basic Dao patterns actually exceed eleven. You're going to defy the heavens!"

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "As far as this junior knows, isn't nine Dao patterns the limit?"

Old Tree shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, no, nine is only the limit for ordinary cultivators, not the true limit."

"Actually, this old man thinks there's no limit to Dao patterns at all. It's just that most people think nine is the limit, so this saying came about. It's actually a case of false information being spread."

Lin Moyu said, "I see. Then what's the significance of eleven Dao patterns?"

Gu Hanyu didn't say more or less, just mentioning eleven directly, which meant there must be something special about one Dao pattern.

Old Tree said, "Eleven Dao patterns are also called the potential of a Dao Lord. This isn't something this old man is saying, but was passed down by a Dao Lord."

"According to that Dao Lord, to become a Dao Lord, one must have at least eleven basic Dao patterns when becoming a Dao Venerable."

Lin Moyu still found it strange. Why set the number at eleven? Couldn't someone with nine Dao patterns or ten Dao patterns become a Dao Lord?

Gu Hanyu said, "Actually, it's not because of eleven basic Dao patterns, but because of another saying: 'A hundred Dao patterns, Great Dao divine ability.'"

"It means that when a person has a hundred Dao patterns, they can obtain a divine ability from the Great Dao. Moreover, the more Dao patterns one has, the closer they are to the Great Dao, and the higher the probability of becoming a Dao Lord."

"However, a hundred Dao patterns are too difficult to obtain. Later, someone found another way. When they reached 99 Dao patterns, they used some special treasures and methods to also obtain a Great Dao divine ability."

"When obtaining the Great Dao divine ability, they had a sudden enlightenment and became a Dao Lord in one go."

"This is why there's a saying that eleven basic Dao patterns is the potential of a Dao Lord."

Gu Hanyu explained more clearly than Old Tree. Lin Moyu finally understood why there was such a saying.

Simply put, the more Dao patterns one has, the closer they are to the Great Dao. And the more Dao patterns, the stronger the cultivator's talent naturally is, so the probability of becoming a Dao Lord is naturally higher.

All of this is actually complementary. There's no fixed rule.

This also doesn't mean that people with only ten basic Dao patterns can't become Dao Lords. It's just that the difficulty would be extremely great.

"What is a Great Dao divine ability?" Lin Moyu's eyes flashed with intense curiosity.
