Chapter 50: The Supreme Dao Evolution Path

Jin repeatedly shook his head, puzzling Eira and Merida, who were still following behind him as they casually passed numerous youths succumbing to the increased gravity-pressure.

’Why did I set a limit of 100 percent merging progress?? Why can only one Dantian be created?? Who decided this? Me?? Or was it the Main World’s influence on my mind that subjected my Path to mediocrity.’

First and foremost, there was his progression.

Why should he concede limitless potential for the sake of simplifying the Martial Dao Path for those incapable of keeping up with him?

It didn’t make any sense.

“It’s time for a divergence,” Jin murmured under his breath, already making a decision that would change everything.

If up till this point, he danced the fine line between prioritizing himself and prioritizing his indirect disciples of the Martial Dao Path, then now he was fully committed—fully committed to separating himself and them once and for all.

’On one hand,’ thought Jin, stretching out a hand, releasing concepts manifesting as magnificence. ’is the Martial Dao Evolution Path.’

’And on the other hand…’

Opening his right hand, an intangible, impossible-to-see or fathom phenomenon appeared.

’Is the… Supreme Dao Evolution Path.’

’A Path tailored specifically to me. Catered to no one but me.’

’My Path.’

If the Martial Dao Path was the parent, then the Supreme Dao Path was the unparalleled prodigal child. They were the same, yet not the same. They adhered to the same principles, yet differed at every step.

[Your Understanding is Against-Heaven. By deeply pondering your potential Path and the Path that indirectly improves your Path, you have created the “Supreme Dao Path.”]

[The Supreme Dao Path is designed to be treaded by one and one alone, with its difficulty unequal throughout heaven and earth.]

[But the moment the Supreme Dao Path does not live up to its name and purpose, it will… cease to be. After which, there will once again be only the Martial Dao Path.]

The instant the Supreme Dao Path solidified within Jin’s core being, it was as if shackles that had been holding him back for eons suddenly shattered.

Unfettered and unchained by the ordinary and average. This was how it should’ve been from the very beginning, for as the holder of the |Door to the Myriad Realms| and |Against-Heaven’s Understanding|, he was not meant to weigh himself at the standard of those whom he was meant to guide.

With the Supreme Dao Path, his perspective experienced an immediate elevation. Consequently, his view of the Martial Dao Evolution Path broadened, allowing him to understand many things that were once obscure to him.

“Infinity… Infinite Intent Web… I see now…”

He really had been mistaken about infinity.

Infinity was indefinite, but it was also a placeholder for a value.

It was simply that that value resided on a different plane of reality—one that Jin could not currently react to or interact with. He could only barely perceive its existence, and that only because the unshackled versions of his Cosmic Singularity Intents were very special, somehow possessing a relation with this unfathomable higher plane of reality.

On this plane, infinity was infinity.

But on that plane, infinity could be equal to 1. Or it could be equal to 2 or 3.

’This is to say that infinity is based on perspective, and if that’s the case, then I just need to maximize my perspective. I can then achieve the same results of comprehending infinite Intents without actually doing it.’

But how to go about doing something as vague as maximizing perspective?

Well, it was quite simple, really.

’I just need to create my own value of infinity.’

Insanity!

Truly insane!

’So long as I condense 777 Cosmic Singularity Intents, I can forcefully manifest the creation of something that will act as a placeholder for infinity.’

’Or rather, it will become a lesser, evolvable version of infinity itself…’

What Jin was proposing was not something any sane person would ever consider.

However… he was not sane.

…

With a goal set in place, Jin strove to attract the full attention of the Moon God Academy; his aim was the Super Element Crystals that only top geniuses could even consider peeking at.

And so more than a day passed inside the Testing Area Gorge…

Up above, overlooking everyone below, several imposingly powerful figures gathered around a mane-haired man exuding a pressure capable of forcing Master Mages to their knees.

“This… This is…” The Dean shuddered, torn between disbelief and exhilaration. “Do you know what we’re witnessing right now!?”

Did they!? The other Teachers questioned, equally as excited if not more so than their Dean.

Of course they did!

This was the beginning of a new age!!

The cause of their surging emotions was the young black-and-white-haired boy leisurely sitting at the 10,000-meter depths of the Gorge. The very furthest one could go—a place constantly under assault by gravity thousands of times that of normal.

And yet a boy no older than 7 was actually treating the extremely dangerous area as his meditation grounds…

A freak!

A truly monstrous genius!!

“Only a Master Mage can replicate the Crown Prince’s actions,” muttered the Dean.

The other Teachers had their jaws slam open.

They had already assumed this the moment they saw Jin make it to the end of the Gorge. However, it was more than a little hard to accept that a child who had likely been cultivating no more than a few years actually possessed the same cultivation level as them, who had been tirelessly cultivating for more than a thousand years.

But with words of confirmation from their Dean, it was no longer possible to deny.

This… was actually happening.

“Ma… Master Mage at the age of 7…” a high-ranking female teacher murmured as if in a daze. “Am I dreaming right now…?”

“No,” the Dean shook his head. “But you are, however, living in the same era as someone destined to become an Archmage.”

“!!!” “!!!” “!!!”

Destined to become an Archmage??

Wasn’t that a bit too much of an exaggeration!?

Then again…

They all looked back at the nonchalant boy enduring thousands of times gravity pressure like it was nothing.

Maybe… Maybe it wasn’t impossible…?
