Chapter 2003: Chapter 856: Thunder Shards and Origin Rainbow Crystals

The Rule Dao Skill, also known as the Origin Dao Skill, was previously explained to Xu Jin by Senior Brother True Monarch Lei Bian.

After reaching the limit of the Star Monarch cultivation level, the most important thing for a cultivator is to achieve enlightenment in the Rule Dao Skill.

For True Monarch experts, mastering the Rule Dao Skill is extremely difficult.

Most initial-stage True Monarch experts do not possess the Rule Dao Skill.

A middle-level True Monarch with four to six tribulations who can master one Rule Dao Skill is considered strong, and two are considered top-tier experts. Even many Nine Tribulations True Monarchs only master one or two single-series Rule Dao Skills.

It’s very difficult!

If an ordinary True Monarch or Emperor discussed this matter, they would offer a mystical explanation: Anything involving the Law Path is naturally difficult!

But if a torchbearer or an enlightened individual speaks of it, it becomes very simple.

What Senior Brother True Monarch Lei Bian explained to Xu Jin about the fundamental Rule Dao Skill was simple: Combination!

It’s a bit like assembling building blocks.

Each Rule Dao Skill is a combination of many Law Paths, with seven or eight at least, and a dozen at most.

Herein lies the problem: The characteristics of the Law Path cannot be described in words.

Moreover, the Law Path that each person comes to understand varies.

Even if two Star Monarchs achieve enlightenment in ten Thunder Law Paths, only five of their Law Paths are identical.

If A were to exhibit the detailed characteristics of his Rule Dao Skill and then let B try to sense and comprehend those five Law Paths to learn the same Rule Dao Skill, it would very likely harm B!

For most people, the Dao Rules they understand from the Star River World are random, and the Law Path they eventually comprehend is different.

This kind of targeted enlightenment is like finding a needle in a haystack, extremely difficult to accomplish.

There are countless examples of lives wasted due to mutual teaching.

To teach each other, the best method is to transform oneself into a True Monarch Blood Crystal, and then one can provide guidance to the other, although the success rate is still low.

Even with a True Monarch Blood Crystal for enlightenment, one can only comprehend one item at a time and cannot choose all of them.

Thus, although Senior Brother True Monarch Lei Bian mastered a powerful Rule Dao Skill, he did not teach it to Xu Jin.

Most Rule Dao Skills require enlightenment.

Many times, when you’ve comprehended enough single-series Law Paths, say over twenty or more, you’ll naturally be able to grasp a Rule Dao Skill.

Of course, there are those unfortunate enough to fail to grasp a Rule Dao Skill even after comprehending thirty single-series Law Paths. ℯℯ𝑙.

Yet some lucky ones can discern two Rule Dao Skills with just a bit over twenty Law Paths.

So Xu Jin likened it to a puzzle game.

The Rule Dao Skill is like a complete puzzle; even if you have nine pieces, without the last piece, you cannot comprehend that Rule Dao Skill.

This is why Xu Jin deemed the insight gained from using the True Monarch Blood Crystal to trigger the Rule Dao Skill as priceless!

Fortunately, its power source is four drops of All Heaven Star Dew, which is nearly depleted. Otherwise, the Great Star Monarch aiding Xu Jin in activating the array might have been reduced to ash on the spot!

Rule Dao Skill is about using Origin Rule Power to evoke Star Power, unleashing terrifying might!

After a moment, Xu Jin, having memorized every characteristic of that Thunder Law Path, slowly opened his eyes.

"Uncle, is the steward all right?"

"No problem, just report it as a work injury. And you, how are your results? Have you comprehended that Rule Dao Skill?" When he asked this, True Monarch Tianzhang was a bit nervous.

Rule Dao Skill, after all!

Considering many years of accumulation, he only acquired two.

If Xu Jin, before breaking through to the Tenth Rank, could master the Rule Dao Skill, wouldn’t that be extraordinary?

Previously, at Xuanxin Mountain, True Monarch Tianzhang estimated that Xu Jin had the strength to slay a Four Tribulation True Monarch. With the Rule Dao Skill, he would certainly handle a Five Tribulation True Monarch effortlessly.

Rule Dao Skill is exceptionally powerful!

Hearing this, Xu Jin shook his head, "Uncle, I only triggered it and did not comprehend it, but I remembered the aura!

The Rule Dao Skill recorded in this True Monarch Blood Crystal requires nine Thunder Law Paths in total, of which I have learned eight."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Tianzhang, who was initially a bit disappointed, immediately became delighted, "Nephew, strike while the iron is hot!

There’s just one left, and you’ve already remembered some of the aura; the probability of successful enlightenment is very high!

Why not keep at it, Nephew!"

"Okay, thank you for the guidance, Uncle."

Xu Jin accepted the advice gladly; he was also keen to comprehend a Rule Dao Skill.

He immediately re-entered the True Monarch Blood Crystal Illusion Realm to begin comprehension, with True Monarch Tianzhang personally aiding in controlling the array plate this time.

With just one Thunder Law Path to go and having memorized the aura, at first glance, this Thunder Law Path seemed within Xu Jin’s grasp.

But in practice, comprehending it remained quite challenging.

The reason is simple: Xu Jin remembered the entire Law Path’s aura.

But the Law Path is scattered into strands of Heaven and Earth Star Will for you to comprehend.

If you deliberately make choices, you end up slowing down instead.

Theoretically, the Law Path is also a puzzle, but the internal connections in the Law Path puzzle are tighter.

As long as you find more puzzle pieces with the same aura characteristics, the features will become increasingly apparent.

Yet despite this, two days later, when the brilliance of the Blood Crystal Illusion Array Plate faded, and Xu Jin saw the eager eyes of True Monarch Tianzhang, he helplessly shook his head.

He did not succeed.
