《World Of Swords》243 : Digestion
Advertisement
As swiftly as the lightning came, it also went, without any rhyme or reason, and without much fanfare, as the black clouds then suddenly retreated, disappearing without a trace.
Very soon, Xu Yue slowly began moving, touching her broken hands as she looked around her, feeling slightly shaken.
Although Xu Yue had not released it, she knew that even her normal body, which was unimaginably huge and powerful, was greatly damaged by the lightning strikes.
"What in the world was that?" mumbled Xu Yue as she felt her body slowly but surely begin regenerating.
Although Xu Yue's injuries seemed quite severe, in fact, she wasn't actually as injured as it seemed, as Xu Yue's origin wasn't damaged in the slightest, unlike what had happened in the past.
Suddenly, Xu Lanfeng appeared next to Xu Yue, with a rather shocked look on her face.
"It's been a short time since you have comprehended existence, and you've already attracted the attention of the Grand Dao, what did you do?" said Xu Lanfeng as she looked at her descendant, who seemed to enjoy causing trouble at the moment.
Slowly but surely, Xu Yue explained what had happened to Xu Lanfeng, from how she discovered the weakness in her Dao, to how her Existence had managed to fix it.
After a few moments of thought, Xu Lanfeng realized what had just happened.
"So that's what it is," mumbled Xu Lanfeng as she looked at Xu Yue, clearly breathing a sigh of relief as she looked at her, knowing that her descendant didn't cause any problems.
Hearing Xu Lanfeng's words, a slightly curious look appeared on Xu Yue's face, prompting Xu Lanfeng to continue speaking.
"Although the process was slightly different for you, what you did was actually equivalent to changing the Dao you had chosen, something which is extraordinarily difficult," said Xu Lanfeng as she touched her cheek.

"If not for the fact that you had comprehended existence, this process would have probably nearly killed you, as both your body and soul had already become deeply tied to your Dao."
"But since you managed to comprehend your existence, which had an even deeper connection with your body and soul, you managed to avoid this, but at the same time, you caused another problem."
"Usually, to change your main Dao, you have to survive a Heavenly Tribulation sent down by the Heavenly Dao, sadly though, once you managed to comprehend your existence, in the eyes of the Grand Dao, you were no longer a mortal and were under its jurisdiction."
"As such, you had to endure a Tribulation sent down by the Grand Dao."
"This Tribulation felt somewhat weird though," mumbled Xu Yue as she looked at her ancestor, causing Xu Lanfeng to nod.
Whilst Xu Lanfeng continued talking, insights into Three Daos, the Dao of Fate, the Sword Dao, and the Heaven and Earth painting Dao poured into Xu Yue's mind, but somewhat different, as they had been absorbed and melded together by the 'Boundless Dao'
"You don't have to worry, unlike Tribulations from the Heavenly Dao, which take some time, the Grand Dao does not waste any time, simply testing you, without giving you much of a chance to resist," said Xu Lanfeng.
"I really didn't expect that changing your Dao right now would trigger a response from the Grand Dao, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that," said Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue to shake her head.
"You don't have to worry, nothing has happened," said Xu Yue as she silently urged her existence to heal her body even faster.
In fact, Xu Lanfeng truly didn't expect something like this to happen, as she had never actually seen someone who had comprehended existence change their Dao.

After all, those who had managed to comprehend existence would most likely quickly become False or True Immortals, not wasting any time on anything else.
And by the time they became False Immortals, changing their main Dao's became much more complicated, as it's connection to the cultivator had become even deeper by that point
Perhaps only an extremely powerful True Immortal, one who had comprehended existence up to the Seventh Rank could manage to do such a thing, or so Xu Lanfeng thought.
"It's good that you are fine, I have something rather important to do right now," said Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue to nod slightly as she turned her attention back to her state, as well as the insights moving into her mind.
Without looking at Xu Lanfeng, who had just disappeared, Xu Yue moved her eyes back into her Sea of Consciousness.
...
Looking at the Palace which stood near the centre of her Sea of Consciousness, which Yue used to stay in long ago, Xu Yue couldn't help but shake her head.
As soon as she did so, the palace, which had remained unmoved for countless years, suddenly moved to another location, a bit further away from the centre of her Sea of Consciousness.
After that, Xu Yue turned her attention to the Dao Tree at the centre of her Sea of Consciousness, whilst insights into the Dao constantly poured into her mind.
At this moment, although the enormous Dao Tree that used to exist in Xu Yue's Sea of Consciousness had withered, it had been replaced by another, a slightly smaller tree that had managed to begin growing, absorbing the remains of the old tree.
Every single moment, and with every single breath which Xu Yue took, the Dao Tree grew, and at a speed beyond almost anything, Xu Yue had ever experienced, other than sudden enlightenment of course.
Of course, these were nothing more than Xu Yue's own insights into those Three Dao's, which had been absorbed by the 'Boundless Dao' and were currently being digested by her, as such, this state would end the moment those Daos fully merged.
But until then, every single second, the Dao Tree grew by over ten meters in height, becoming larger and larger at an exaggerated pace.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
