Chapter 2040: Chapter 2039: A Word to Awaken the Dreamer

Without a doubt, at this moment, these two super powerhouses in the Dao Sovereign Realm are truly regarding Su Han seriously.

In the eyes of such mighty beings, in reality, whether it’s a Heavenly Talent at Han Junjie’s level or Su Han’s level, they can only be considered as... juniors.

They may praise potential, but what they really value is strength.

"You came here this time because of the Altar of the Divine Dao, right?" asked Venerable Yulin.

"Yes."

Su Han nodded, thinking to himself, isn’t this obvious?

Though the Divine Dao Religion is strong, it hasn’t reached a level where I would come without something important to observe.

"The Altar of the Divine Dao hasn’t been activated yet, but it will be soon," Venerable Yulin continued.

"Hmm?"

Su Han frowned slightly, and couldn’t help but ask, "A year ago, when I went to the Qing Emperor Sect, I already informed the Divine Dao Religion. Logically, in a year’s time, it should have been activated, right?"

"Of course, but..."

The Blood-Robed Venerable spoke, "But for this time’s Altar of the Divine Dao, we, the Divine Dao Religion, have added some extra ingredients for you, like the Withered Spirit Flower, and also... the Nebula Herb."

"What?!"

Su Han exclaimed, his eyes flashing with light.

He knew that the Withered Spirit Flower was a Fifth Grade Medicinal Herb, and the Nebula Herb was even of the Sixth Grade!

Although it’s only an inferior Sixth Grade, not as rare as the Seven-Night Golden Divine Lotus seen before, the value of the Nebula Herb as a Sixth Grade Medicinal Material is absolutely immeasurable.

"What, you know about the Withered Spirit Flower and the Nebula Herb?" Seeing Su Han’s exclamation, the Blood-Robed Venerable couldn’t help but ask.

"I know a bit," Su Han nodded.

"Since that’s the case, it will be much easier for me to explain to you."

The Blood-Robed Venerable continued, "The Altar of the Divine Dao, I assume you’ve heard a little about it. Using medicinal ingredients, pills, and other mediums, let’s see how many layers you can ascend. For each additional layer you ascend, you gain a bit more enlightenment, and your cultivation base can be slightly enhanced."

"The further you go, the more difficult it is to ascend, and similarly, the further you go, the more enlightenment and cultivation base increase you will gain if you break through!"

"In this aspect, it’s somewhat similar to the Immortal Bridge journey during the Heavenly Talent Contest, but I dare say, even the Immortal Bridge can’t compare to the Altar of the Divine Dao!"

"Because, in the Altar of the Divine Dao, even someone who has never refined pills before, after reaching the tenth layer, will become a Pill Master!"

At this point, the Blood-Robed Venerable paused slightly, as if waiting for Su Han to digest the information.

Su Han murmured, "So, it’s just like the liquid in the Soul Cleansing Pool, except the Altar of the Divine Dao requires resources like pills and herbs, right?"

"Correct."

This time, it was Venerable Yulin who explained.

"A Fifth Grade Medicinal Herb already has a spirit, born from swallowing the Power of Heaven and Earth, it can transform endlessly."

"A Sixth Grade Medicinal Material, its spirit has become essence, and without the Altar of the Divine Dao, it will act on its own to test you."

"Test us?"

Su Han frowned again, "Could there be others entering the Altar of the Divine Dao with me?"

"Naturally, opening the Altar of the Divine Dao requires at least ten or more Fifth Grade Medicinal Herbs. We, the Divine Dao Religion, certainly won’t waste this opportunity."

Venerable Yulin seemed to have noticed Su Han’s thoughts and teasingly said, "It seems like when you were at the Qing Emperor Sect, you almost had your resources snatched, didn’t you?"

"They were snatched."

Su Han replied expressionlessly, "But they were unlucky and had their resources taken back by me."

Upon hearing this, both Venerable Yulin and the Blood-Robed Venerable were slightly taken aback.

They felt that there was a hint of threat in Su Han’s words...

Not a threat to them, but a threat to those who would enter the Altar of the Divine Dao with Su Han!

"Hehe, you don’t need to be so cautious. It seems your understanding of the Altar of the Divine Dao isn’t extensive..."

The Blood-Robed Venerable shook his head with a smile, "The Altar of the Divine Dao is not like the Soul Cleansing Pool. In the Soul Cleansing Pool, the reason you enhanced your cultivation base was because of the resources put into it by the Qing Emperor Sect."

"But the Altar of the Divine Dao is different!"

"The Altar of the Divine Dao connects to the Starry Sky, and the enlightenment you gain, as well as the boost to your cultivation base, isn’t given by the Altar of the Divine Dao or by our Divine Dao Religion, but... by the Dao itself!"

"The Dao?"

Su Han looked at the Blood-Robed Venerable, "The Heavenly Dao?"

"Does the Dao necessarily have to be the Heavenly Dao?" The Blood-Robed Venerable’s eyes were piercing.

With these words, Su Han was instantly stunned!

Does the Dao necessarily have to be the Heavenly Dao?

Moments later, Su Han’s eyes quickly brightened.

The Blood-Robed Venerable’s words were truly an awakening!

"That’s right, that’s right..."

"I myself have said before, there are many paths of the Dao, there’s the Alchemy Dao, the Martial Path, the path of the physical body, and the Path of Artifact Refining..."

"These Dao are like cultivators, diverse and different from each other, only that the Heavenly Dao is the strongest!"

"Just like the difference between the Void Heaven Realm, the Divine Sea Realm, and the Heavenly Emperor Realm among cultivators!"

"And in reality, the Spirit Transformation Realm, the Void Heaven Realm, are all cultivation bases!"

"And the Alchemy Dao, the Martial Path, even the strongest Heavenly Dao... they are all Dao!"

Thinking of this, Su Han couldn’t help but take a deep breath and cupped his fists deeply toward the Blood-Robed Venerable.

"Your words, senior, are enlightening like a clear stream, I have learned a lot."

In a journey of three, there’s always someone to learn from!

Su Han always believed he wasn’t arrogant, but in fact, all the experiences of surviving billions of years in his past life were a source of his pride in this life!

Because of those experiences, he ignored everything and every word, always believing he was right.

But at that moment, he suddenly realized that learning is endless...

"I have always seen the Heavenly Dao as a nemesis, as the most powerful enemy under this starry sky."

"I thought that I was living under the control of the Heavenly Dao, and one day, I would have to break through the Heavenly Dao to become the strongest in the Milky Way Galaxy!"

"However, I was wrong... Completely wrong, grossly mistaken!"

"The Heavenly Dao is just one form of Dao. If I really want to break through, it’s not breaking through the Heavenly Dao, but breaking through the true Dao!"

With this thought in mind, Su Han couldn’t help but laugh bitterly again.

"Two lifetimes, living for billions of years, yet seeing less clearly than a Dao Sovereign Realm..."

Though he said this, in reality, it wasn’t really the case.

Many things Su Han understood, the Blood-Robed Venerable couldn’t fathom, and perhaps, never would.

At least, in his previous life, Su Han was the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, once in the Sovereign Realm, the strongest under this Milky Way Galaxy.

If the Blood-Robed Venerable were truly stronger than Su Han, he wouldn’t merely be in the Dao Sovereign Realm.

Everything is worth learning, but whether it’s true or false, one must discern for oneself.
