Chapter 2421  Concerning Warnings

"Conflict? But aren't the streams all separate?" Lin Mu asked after hearing that.

"Now normally speaking, even if you comprehend a hundred or hundreds of Daos there is no issue, as the streams are individual and have plenty of space between them to grow and expand. You can continue to add more and more Daos, eventually hitting a thousand or even more. Now at this point, you will reach a scenario where one of the streams is very close to another stream.

These streams might start to overlap or start spilling into each other. You might be able to control it at the start, but it will eventually reach a point where both the streams collapse and merge into each other." Xukong elaborated.

"What happens then?" Lin Mu couldn't tell.

"One or the other Daos you comprehended will be gone." Xukong answered. "You will simply lose control over it."

Hearing Xukong's words, Lin Mu was confused and surprised. To him who had personally seen the Zenith, it seemed possible yet Xukong who had been guiding him all this time, was saying it was wrong.

This made him torn between the reality he had seen and his teacher's words.

"What if the streams are all equidistant?" Lin Mu asked, not accepting it right away.

"It might be possible, but as the number of Dao's increase you will still hit the same issue. You said the armored man had over Three Thousand Daos, that is three times as much complexity. The chances of conflict then would be even higher.

In fact, it might not just be one or two Daos that collapse in that case, but rather it could lead to a cascading effect where hundreds of the rivers and streams merge together and lead to a massive collapse." Xukong warned.

Hearing that, Lin Mu couldn't help but furrow his brows.

~Sigh~

"I suppose it is far too much in the future for me to think about it." Lin Mu said letting go of it for now.

The Zenith was something beyond his reach.

After all, even comprehending three or four Daos was big for immortals, ten was something only Transcendents attempted and a hundred was something that was legendary.

Thousand and beyond was simply incomprehensible to most.

The longevity needed to comprehend so many Daos would be massive, as not all Daos were naturally understandable by cultivators. After the initial Daos that a cultivator had affinity were comprehended, the rest would all have to be comprehended through sheer hard work and time.

"You shouldn't fully trust what you see in the Astral Dimension. Our understanding of that place is far too lacking to do that." Xukong warned again. "Rather than that, what's more concerning right now is the Devil Path." He said, his voice turning serious.

"Lin Mo…" Lin Mu muttered the name of the being who had taken over him before.

All that Lin Mo had done was remembered by him clearly despite the fact that he had lost control. But the memories of that time were very fresh in his mind and had not faded at all. He could remember every feeling and emotion he had, the sensation of overwhelming power and authority that flowed through him.

It was almost euphoric simply remembering it and even made him want to use the Murdering Heart Sutra again.

"That reflection we saw back then… Looks like it can even manifest itself when you fully use the power of the Murdering Heart Sutra." Xukong had already looked through all the memories from back then and had a long time to ruminate on them.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that he was very concerned about it as it was a power that was very dangerous. If seen by the wrong kind of people, it could very well paint a large target onto Lin Mu's back.

Thankfully, he had used it as a last resort and the ones who had seen him use it were all his companions who were trusted.

"The power granted by the Murdering Heart Sutra is truly great." Lin Mu spoke after a minute of silence. "I think at the very end, I managed to reach the Transcendent level." He added.

"That's correct." Xukong had felt it too. "But it is a borrowed power and comes at a cost."

"Yes… A Cost of souls." Lin Mu knew very well. "But to use Warp, it was needed." He let out a sigh.

Xukong knew that he had used it at a time of great need and wasn't really upset with him about it. But hoped that he wouldn't be using it anytime soon.

"Your Dao Skill certainly is highly demanding, though." Xukong said, having seen it. "Though I suppose for unhindered teleportation like that, the cost is still valid." He compared it to the cost of a Cross World Teleportation array and estimated that it would need the same amount of power.

This was actually less, as even a Transcendent Immortal might not be able to power a Cross World Teleportation Array on their own. That was the reason why immortal stones were used to power them and why the cost of teleportation was so high.

"Though I think it could have done more." Lin Mu spoke. "I have a feeling that Warp could have managed to teleport to another Immortal World if I had it accessible. And I also feel like it could teleport me to another location in the Immortal World even if I've never been. But it would be too random." He revealed.

Before using it, Lin Mu only had a partial understanding of the Dao Skill, but now that he had been through it once, his understanding had improved by a lot.

"Hmm… I suppose it is worth the cost then. Though perhaps next time you best reserve a part of your Qi to use it normally," Xukong advised.

"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded his head. "Thankfully, I should be able to passively charge the skill for future use." He now knew.
