Tu Mo Yu said lightly, “Although the power of darkness is formidable, it is ultimately a force from outside the Heavenly Realm and goes against the Heavenly Dao. The Saint Master is still under the influence of the Heavenly Dao, which is a manifestation of mastering the Heavenly Dao to the utmost. If you utilize the dark aura to directly break through to the Saint Master, you will lose the most crucial opportunity in your life to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. Most importantly, once you use the dark aura to become a Saint Master, because the Saint Master is still under the control of the Heavenly Dao, if you expose yourself, the Heavenly Dao has enough power to erase you directly.”
“Directly erase?”
Yao Wuming took a deep breath.
“That's right. The power of heavenly punishment is something the Saint Master cannot resist. As long as you use the power of darkness to break through to the Saint Master, you will possess the essence of the dark power within you. Once a trace of dark aura is exposed in the Heavenly Realm, you will be deemed a heretic by the Heavenly Dao, and judgment thunder will descend to kill you.”
“So, you must absolutely not use the dark aura to break through to the Saint Master. At most, it can only be used for cultivation to enhance strength. In the past, many experts from my Demon Tribe absorbed too much dark aura in order to quickly step into the Saint Master realm, only to be detected by the Heavenly Dao after breaking through to the Saint Master, leading to their erasure by the heavenly judgment.”
“Is it impossible to resist even in the Demon Realm?”
Yao Wuming found it hard to believe.
“The Demon Realm?”
Tu Mo Yu scoffed, “Although called the Demon Realm, it actually belongs to the same domain as your Human Clan, both are territories of the Heavenly Realm. How could it resist?
As long as it's within this universe, any aura of dark power cannot escape the locking of the heavenly judgment. This is also the reason why one cannot use dark aura to break through.”
“If what you say is true, then what about the Mansion Lord…” Yao Wuming queried with doubt.
“The Mansion Lord Yao Mie is different; he is a peak Saint Master who has achieved perfection in the aspect of the Heavenly Dao. His goal is to utilize the aura of the Heavenly Dao to become a Venerable. And a Venerable is an existence that has transcended the Heavenly Dao.”
Transcending the Heavenly Dao?
Yao Wuming nodded, having heard of this before. The Saint Master is still a person favored by the Heavenly Dao, but a Venerable transcends the Heavenly Dao and is suppressed by it, as the Heavenly Dao does not permit their existence.
Thus, in the world, the number of Venerables is extremely scarce, far fewer than that of Saint Masters. Everything is because the birth of Venerables oppresses the Heavenly Dao, which would never agree to such a thing happening.
“Therefore, if Yao Mie Mansion Lord wants to break through to Venerable using dark aura, there is no issue, because a Venerable has already transcended the Heavenly Dao. Even if the Heavenly Dao senses Yao Mie Mansion Lord's dark aura, it cannot kill him,” Tu Mo Yu stated.
“Such a thing actually exists!”
Yao Wuming murmured.
“Thus, you can at most use dark aura to cultivate dark forbidden techniques, but to break through to Saint Master, you must still follow the cultivation methods of the Human Clan. That dark aura is sufficient to allow you to far surpass other experts of the same level. Once you completely release the dark aura, it will be equivalent to a half-step Saint Master, enough to sweep through the Human Clan.”
“However, once you unleash the dark aura, you must kill anyone who detects your aura; otherwise, if it spreads outside, the entire Heavenly Realm will hunt you down, and even your Mansion Lord will seek to kill you to protect his own reputation!”
Tu Mo Yu reminded.
“I understand now.”
At this moment, Yao Wuming finally comprehended why the Mansion Lord wanted to collaborate with the Demon Tribe, and why, despite the Demon Tribe gaining the favor of dark power, countless Demon Tribe Saint Masters had not emerged. If the Demon Tribe could freely utilize dark aura to break through, they would give birth to an infinite number of Saint Masters. No matter how strong the Human Clan was, they could not resist a tide of Saint Masters. Everything stems from this.
