Chapter 652: Dao Repository Hall

Chapter 652: Dao Repository Hall

The wooden boat swayed gently with the wind on the lake surface.

Wu Yiyi was all by herself, having a blast playing on the wooden boat.

Zhang Yuhe conjured a long chair and lay quietly on the wooden boat.

He was pondering.

What kind of Great Dao Rules would actually suit him?

They needed to allow him to comprehend quickly while also unleashing formidable combat power.

It would be best if they could also be used in conjunction with the Nine Swords Hunyuan Sword Array and Daoshu Chaos Return to Void.

Of course.

Zhang Yuhe also knew.

His request seemed a bit too high.

For a normal Cultivator,

being able to successfully comprehend a Great Dao Rule was already quite impressive.

How could they still afford to be picky?

In fact, Zhang Yuhe did not think too much about it.

As long as he found a Great Dao Rule suitable for himself and then comprehended it to the entry level,

he would first make a Breakthrough to the True God Realm.

If the Great Dao Rules were not powerful enough,

he could think of ways later to comprehend other rules.

The Great Dao was boundless and countless.

Moreover, there was no upper limit to the rules that each Cultivator could comprehend.

Theoretically speaking,

everyone could comprehend countless Rule Daos.

As long as you had sufficient Comprehension Ability and enough time.

Zhang Yuhe once planned to start from the aspect of the Five Elements rules.

Because in the Chaos Sea, such a legend had always been circulating.

In the early period of the Universe,

the Chaos Sea originally only had five Origin rules of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

As for the other rule Daos, they were slowly comprehended and evolved by Cultivators from the Five Elements rules.

The Five Elements rules were the foundation for constructing the world and were also extremely powerful.

Legend has it that the Five Elements rules all contained magical undying characteristics.

As long as one comprehended one of the rules to the Great Perfection realm,

one could obtain an undying body.

For example, the Undying Body of Water, the Undying Body of Wood.

In legends,

the Great Desert Emperor had long since comprehended the Earth rule to the Perfection realm,

thereby obtaining the Earth Undying Body.

No matter how powerful the opponent faced, the Great Desert Emperor was almost undying.

No one could kill him.

According to records in ancient texts,

the Great Desert Emperor had once forcefully confronted Bolin Supreme head-on in the Outer Domain Long River.

The two sides fought for dozens of days,

and Bolin Supreme could do nothing to him.

It was precisely because of this,

Zhang Yuhe was filled with infinite yearning for the Five Elements rules.

Who wouldn't like an undying body?

What a pity.

After many attempts, Zhang Yuhe quickly gave up.

As the basic rules for constructing the world,

any Five Elements rule seemed extremely simple, but in fact, it was extremely profound and abstruse.

It was not so easy to comprehend.

Perhaps it required a special opportunity.

Zhang Yuhe had even thought

whether he could comprehend the Chaos rules from the Chaotic Divine Demon Heavenly Scripture.

The result also greatly disappointed him.

Chaos was all-encompassing and ethereal,

making it completely unfathomable.

There was nowhere to start.

Later, Zhang Yuhe also figured it out.

Although his Comprehension Ability was Heaven-Defying, and he had the blessing of Wu Yiyi's Enlightenment Tree main body,

there really were no shortcuts to take for the Great Dao Rules.

He had to take it step by step.

At least he had to enter the threshold first.

Without even stepping into the threshold,

no matter how Heaven-Defying your Comprehension Ability was, it would be of no use.

"Just like the other Disciples, let's roughly read through all the collections of Donghua Palace first."

Zhang Yuhe thought silently.

Once he read countless ancient texts, he would naturally find a rule Dao suitable for himself.

The wooden boat drifted aimlessly with the wind on the lake surface.

One day a year later,

Wu Yiyi sat on the edge of the wooden boat, and she said to Zhang Yuhe in boredom,

"Playing is so boring."

"Why don't we go back?"

Zhang Yuhe could not help but smile.

Wu Yiyi's words perfectly interpreted what it meant to be tired out by playing.

No matter how much someone loved playing, they couldn't stand playing every day.

Speaking of passing time,

cultivating still passed the fastest.

Zhang Yuhe smiled slightly, and he said softly,

"Alright, then let's go back."

The two of them soared into the air and flew rapidly towards Yitian Manor.

Only the unmanned wooden boat was left on the lake surface, slowly drifting with the wind.

After settling Wu Yiyi down,

Zhang Yuhe quickly came before a magnificent palace.

In the plaque above the palace, two endlessly profound characters, [Dao Repository], were inscribed.

"Dao Repository…"

Looking at the handwriting on the plaque, Zhang Yuhe muttered to himself silently,

"Collecting the Dao."

"This implication is good."

"I hope the ancient texts inside will not disappoint me."

Although he had joined Donghua Palace for nearly fifty million years,

Zhang Yuhe had truly never been to this Dao Repository Hall.

To be exact,

in the vast area of the entire Donghua Palace,

except for the time when he first entered the Sect, when he followed Duan Changqing to Yuanhe Palace,

he had not been anywhere else.

He had always stayed in Yitian Manor, cultivating silently all by himself,

truly paying no attention to external affairs at all.

Zhang Yuhe stood outside the Dao Repository Hall and looked around,

with not a single shadow of a person around.

The number of Disciples in Donghua Palace was not large, totaling only one hundred thousand.

Naturally, not many people could come to the Dao Repository Palace to read books.

Moreover, the Dao Repository operated on its own through Formations and did not need guards.

Zhang Yuhe wanted to find someone to ask for some news, but he couldn't find anyone at all.

"Forget it, let's go in and take a look first."

Fortunately, the identity token detailed various information about Donghua Palace,

so he wouldn't go to the wrong place or commit any taboos.

Zhang Yuhe took out his identity token and stepped across the palace gates in one stride.

A faint aura swept across his body and then disappeared without a trace.

Identity verification passed.

"Holy shit, are there so many ancient texts?"

"I'm afraid that even if I read for millions of years, I wouldn't be able to finish reading all these ancient texts."

Zhang Yuhe stood blankly at the entrance of the main hall,

somewhat speechless looking at those vast and misty ancient texts.

The ancient texts collected here were simply too many,

terrifyingly many.

Row upon row of bookshelves were like streets in a city,

stretching as far as the eye could see without an end.

Zhang Yuhe randomly pulled out an ancient text from the bookshelf near the entrance and opened it.

[Flame Saber Technique], suitable for cultivation below Soul Transformation.

[Heaven-Overturning Palm], suitable for cultivation below Golden Immortal.

After reading a few ancient texts in succession,

Zhang Yuhe could not help but sigh with emotion.

As expected of the Dao Repository of a major force,

truly all-encompassing.

From the most ordinary Mortal Realm ancient texts to Immortal Realm ancient texts, everything was available.

Zhang Yuhe did not harbor any contemptuous thoughts just because the levels of these ancient texts were relatively low.

All Dharmas are interconnected.

Zhang Yuhe knew

that every powerful Divine Ability was slowly deduced by Cultivators from the most ordinary Spells.

Browsing through these ordinary Divine Ability ancient texts might allow him to comprehend some evolution methods of Divine Abilities from them,

making it easier for Cultivators to comprehend the corresponding Great Dao Rules from them.

This was the foundational heritage that a major force should have.

Although these ancient texts were ordinary, they were crucially important.

Of course,

this required reaching a certain quantity.

If the quantity was too small, it would be meaningless.

And the Dao Repository Hall of Donghua Palace had enough book collections,

which was the result of countless Sect Seniors collecting them over a long period of time, definitely not something achieved overnight.

After flipping through a few ancient texts on the bookshelf at the entrance,

Zhang Yuhe quickly walked towards the depths of the Dao Repository Hall.

He had not yet reached the point where he needed to deduce Divine Abilities and evolve rules.

For the current Zhang Yuhe,

ancient texts containing mature Rule Daos were what he currently needed.

If he really couldn't find rule ancient texts suitable for his own comprehension,

it wouldn't be too late to come back and read them slowly.
