The earlier one could grasp the essences of the grand dao, the earlier they could cultivate increasingly formidable merit laws. Thus, the disciples from imperial lineages naturally wanted to cultivate their emperors’ laws.

　　Just think about it, starting with entry merit laws from emperors meant getting access to the highest dao profundity. This seemed like it would be the best foundation before studying even more mysterious arts in the future.

　　This wasn’t the case for the three grand arts. They focused on absorbing chaos and primordial energies instead of comprehending the grand dao. This was the biggest difference between the three grand arts and other merit laws.

　　Other ones focused on grasping the grand dao before absorbing the energies while the three grand arts treated grasping the dao as minor details.

　　This was similar for a monk wis.h.i.+ng to become a Buddha; the transformation was the ultimate goal. Certain Buddhist skills and abilities obtained in the process were only unexpected extras.

　　There was one more reason why many cultivators from the hundred races abandoned the three grand arts - the speed of cultivation. The early periods were truly arduous.

　　With similar comprehension and talents, any other merit laws would yield faster result than the three grand arts. One realm was usually the difference.

　　The real strength of the three arts would only come out after reaching Dao Saint and Dao Celestial. Not too many cultivators could reach this level after a lifetime of training in the thirteen continents. Thus, it was meaningless for them to pick the three grand arts.

　　After teaching her the Myriad Law Art, Li Qiye carefully explained the meanings behind the Mortal Reversion Art for her. He did it in a way that was extremely easy to understand.

　　Under her zen state, Shen Xiaoshan was immersed in the grand dao. She forgot everything at this moment for she felt as if she was part of the original chaos. The boundless primordial energy was engulfing her. Her mind continued in this trance.

　　After a long while, she finally regained her wits and felt quite comfortable. She could feel the chaos energy all around her.

　　Even though she could already accomplish this in the past, she could sense them now even without meditating. The feeling was quite clear as well.

　　“What, what is going on?” Her new-found sensitivity to the chaos energy astounded her.

　　“This is bringing order out of chaos.” Li Qiye said flatly: “The merit law from Sago Palm actually originated from Myriad Law and Mortal Reversion. However, your ancestors thought too highly of themselves and combined the two together for something new entirely. I simply taught you how to distinguish the dao more clearly, allowing you to sense chaos and primordial energies from the origin.”

　　The slightly astonished girl carefully observed her own body and became excited: “2,300,000 chaos energy!”

　　While she was ecstatic, he said calmly: “Congratulation on your big harvest.”

　　“But, but how is this possible?” She had gotten 200,000 more. This session was the same as one or two years of cultivation for her. She simply couldn’t believe it.

　　“It’s because your awareness of these energies was at a muddled state. Now, it is finally connected with the world so all the energies are rus.h.i.+ng inside like water flowing through a river.” Li Qiye didn’t find this surprising at all.

　　Unlike his calm demeanor, she was still jubilating. Keep in mind that she had only reached the Dao n.o.ble realm recently and only had a bit over 2,000,000 chaos energy. Her master had high hopes for her and believed that in just several more years, she would surpa.s.s him. If this trend continued, she would be able to reach Dao Monarch in just two years. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call her a top prodigy at that point.

　　The cultivation system in the two worlds was quite similar. The tenth world also had seventeen realms. At the seventeenth, one would be ready to shoulder the Heaven’s Will to become a Grand Emperor or Immortal Monarch.

　　From lowest to highest, they were: Dao Dust, Dao Ant, Dao Insect, Dao Serpent, Dao Tiger, Dao Child, Daoist, Dao Emissary, Dao Master, Dao n.o.ble, Dao Monarch, Dao King, Dao Sovereign, Dao Sage, Dao Saint, Dao Celestial, then emperor.

　　Normally, these realms were decided by the amount of chaos energy.
