As such, they did not have to be afraid in the Beginner Martial Era. Even if he used some power that did not belong to the Beginner Martial Era, he did not have to worry about being exposed.
“I got lucky.” Xiao Shi said truthfully.
The Dao Ancestor nodded slightly. “To a certain extent, my external Dao is also a form of karma. All those who come into contact with my incarnation might have good luck or bad luck. However, no matter what fortune it is, there will be karma between me.
“This karma comes from other spacetime. It’s very different from ordinary karma. It’s very useful to me. Since you once had good fortune with my incarnation, I can use the fortune dao mark on your body to help you open the other two Dao Gates!”
Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. “The other two Dao Gates?”
“That’s right.” The Dao Ancestor nodded. “Actually, everyone has three Dao Gates, but two of them have always been permanently sealed. Therefore, ordinary people can only control one Dao.
“However, if we can open these two sealed Dao Gates, we can control three different stages of Dao at the same time.
“A Heavenly Dao. A superior-class mortal Dao. An inferior-class mortal Dao.
“All along, I’ve been studying how to open the other two Dao Gates. For now, if one wants to open the Dao Gates, they have to have karma from other space-time and this special Dao mark on their body.”
As soon as the Dao Ancestor said that, an indescribable joy immediately surged in Xiao Shi’s heart. When he realized that the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord was going to advance to the Heavenly Dao through the mortal dao, he knew that to all the Daolords in the world, no matter which era they were from, they could only control one kind of Dao.
There would not be a situation where he could control many Daos. However, now that the Dao Ancestor had said that he could open the other two sealed Dao Gates for him to control the three different stages of the Dao, he was extremely excited.
“So when 1 encountered the incarnation of the Dao Ancestor back then, it had aiready indicated that I could control three different stages of the Dao! No.
“If 1 can’t enter the Beginner Martial Era, even if 1 have the Dao mark left behind by the other party’s incarnation, 1 can’t get the Dao Ancestor to open the other two sealed Dao Gates for me.”
Xiao Shi did not know if there were others in the Tianwu Continent who had encountered the incarnation of the Dao Ancestor like him. But even if there was, without coming to the Beginner Martial Era, they could not get the Dao Ancestor to open the sealed Dao Gates for them.
“Don’t be happy too early. The opening of the Dao Gate might not necessarily succeed. Apart from needing karma in different spacetimes and my incarnation’s Dao mark, I also need something extremely important. That is… good fortune!” The Dao Ancestor said in a low voice. “If you had encountered bad fortune when you came into contact with my incarnation, you would have needed more bad fortune to open the Dao Gate. Since you have good fortune, you have to give me more good fortune now. If you don’t have enough fortune, you basically won’t succeed.”
Xiao Shi was deep in thought. Fortune… It was illusory and could not be seen or touched. How could he give it? Then he thought about it carefully. Good fortune was just one of the other party’s words.
For him, he mostly called this good fortune as luck!
“In other words, if 1 want to open the other two Dao Gates, I need to provide the other party with some luck.”
Xiao Shi could not help but think of an item in his hand— Lucky Sacrificial Ring! Although this item was only a Martial Soul-level item, it could exchange three “sacrifices” for luck. Back then, after Xiao Shi exchanged his lifespan for luck, he still had two chances to carry out the sacrifice.
He could continue to sacrifice his lifespan in exchange for luck. After all, after he became a Sage, his lifespan had increased greatly. It was completely enough for sacrifice.
However, Xiao Shi was not sure about the luck he had obtained after the sacrifice. Was it enough? After all, according to the Dao Ancestor, he needed a lot of luck.
Xiao Shi was a little worried that the luck he obtained after the sacrifice might not be enough. At that time, his lifespan would be wasted.
“Actually, apart from being able to sacrifice with the Lucky Sacrificial Ring, I seem to have a better method.” Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly thought that he might have an item more suitable than the Lucky Sacrificial Ring. However, he was not sure if this item was feasible.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi flipped his hand. A golden eyeball suddenly appeared in his hand. There were broken blood vessels at the end of the eyeball, making people feel as if the eyeball had been dug out of its eye socket. It was ferocious and bloody.
It was the Left Eye of the Prince!
The moment Xiao Shi took out the eyeball, the Dao Ancestor’s gaze was already completely focused on the eyeball. A strange light flashed in his eyes. “This is…”
What he was concerned about was naturally not the eyeball itself. It was fate sealed in the eyeball! Fate and luck were two completely different things. Luck could exist on anyone. But fate… could only be formed by those truly huge factions.
To a certain extent, luck was only one of the components that formed fate. Therefore, in terms of level, position, and so on, fate far surpassed luck.
When Xiao Shi realized that these people from the Beginner Martial Era would imagine themselves even if they saw things from the future era, he did not have to worry about any bad situations after he took out the fate of the Great Wu Empire.
Since the other party knew that he had been to another spacetime, he could naturally imagine that he had obtained the fate of an empire in another spacetime.
“If it’s fate, it’ll be even easier!” The Dao Ancestor’s eyes lit up. However, he told Xiao Shi. Usually, there were many things contained in the fate. Not only was there luck, but there was also bad luck.
Therefore, if he wanted to use fate to open the Dao Gates for Xiao Shi, he had to extract a portion of the luck in this fate. It could not be mixed with bad luck. This could only be done by the Dao Ancestor.
After ail, Xiao Shi did not have the ability to condense his fate now. Once the energy sealed in the eyeball was released, this energy would dissipate uncontrollably. This was also the main reason why he had not used it after obtaining the fate of the Great Wu Empire.
The Dao Ancestor raised his hand and pointed at the eyeball. The many fates sealed in the eyeball immediately surged crazily. However, the Dao Ancestor did not unseal these fates. Instead, he extracted a small portion of the luck in the sealed state.
Usually, the luck contained in fate was far from what an individual’s luck could compare to. Especially when it was the fate of a dynasty. He only needed to extract a small portion of luck and it was completely enough to open a Dao Gate for Xiao Shi.
In order to maintain the balance in the eyeball, the Dao Ancestor extracted a small portion of bad luck while he extracted a small portion of good luck. He expressed that the good luck and bad luck in the fate needed to reach a certain balance. Once it was unbalanced, it would have a greater impact on the fate.
The Dao Ancestor condensed and sealed this portion of bad luck into Xiao Shi’s index finger. This made Xiao Shi’s right index finger form a unique Finger of Misfortune. Then, he began to open the sealed Dao Gate for Xiao Shi through the luck he extracted.
A powerful and profound aura circulated on the Dao Ancestor’s body. When he pointed at Xiao Shi’s glabella, Xiao Shi immediately felt a cracking sound in his mind, as if shackles that could not be seen with the naked eye had shattered.
Two rays of light shone from his mind.. The two sealed Dao Gates in his body were successfully opened by the Dao Ancestor!
