Then his tone became grave as he said, "However, using one’s Cave Heaven to attack an enemy directly also comes with the risk of destroying the Cave Heaven."
"If the Cave Heaven is destroyed completely, the divine being can die. They can also fall from their position as a divine being even if they are still alive."
Loki nodded in understanding and said to himself, ’No wonder the go-to move of every divine being when they fight me is to use their Cave Heaven. They don’t think I am worth spending their lifespan to fight.’
Then he looked at the seer again with eyes full of appreciation and said, "You are my little treasure."
The seer bowed and said, "I am glad that I could be of help."
Loki smiled and said, "Don’t worry about your freedom. I will let you go when I am done with you."
Then he skipped over the topic and said, "Now, about the Sea of Worlds that you mentioned earlier. How large is it, and is the Blessed Heaven World the biggest world in it?"
The seer didn’t notice anything wrong and still believed him wholeheartedly. He immediately replied to the question, saying, "The Sea of Worlds is just like its name. It is a sea of worlds. It is all that exists in our universe."
His voice was monotonous and androgynous as he said, "As far as I know, no one has been able to count how many worlds are in the Sea of Worlds. But I do know that the Blessed Heaven World is probably the biggest in the universe."
This answer surprised Loki, who said, "Really? There is no world that can compare in size?"
The seer nodded and said, "There are other super worlds like the Blessed Heaven World, but there are currently no other worlds that can compare in size to the Blessed Heaven World. This is because the Blessed Heaven World is constantly growing by absorbing other smaller worlds."
"There are at least three other super worlds in the universe that are currently known. But I have never heard of a world as big as the Blessed Heaven World. So I doubt that there is anything bigger than the Blessed Heaven World out there."
When he heard this, Loki frowned and said, "Why is it that only the Blessed Heaven World assimilates other worlds? Why can’t other worlds also devour each other?"
The seer said in reply, "Any world can devour another world as long as there is a large disparity in their power and size. So a Super world can assimilate a large world, and a large world can assimilate a medium world, while a medium world can assimilate a small world. But two small worlds can’t assimilate each other."
"However, the distance between worlds is very far, and worlds are scattered throughout the Sea of Worlds and rarely meet. Since they can’t meet, they can’t eat each other no matter the difference in size
"The reason the Blessed Heaven World can consistently assimilate other worlds is that it can catch those worlds and pull them over."
Before Loki could ask more questions, the seer made things clear by saying, "To be specific, the Blessed Heaven World can capture other worlds because the founder of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect was born in this world and was able to construct a powerful array for grabbing and capturing worlds."
"The achievement of the founder of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect was a long time ago, but as far as I know, no one has been able to replicate their feat. So no one has been able to grow by consistently assimilating worlds."
Loki nodded in understanding before saying, "I have always wanted to know this. Why did so many pathways disappear?"
This time, the seer shook his head and said, "I don’t know. There is no definite answer."
"My best guess based on the available information is that the founders of those pathways died forever. This is because the Dao Lords did indeed fight when they were spreading their daos and establishing their sects throughout the Sea of Worlds."
"But some people believe that those Dao Lords might have transcended the Sea of Worlds, as stories about ancient cultivators indicated. Some others say that the Dao Lords simply withdrew their daos from the world, so no one is sure."
Loki frowned when he was in that shop when he heard this. Then he asked, saying, "Why would Dao Lords spread their Dao? Are they doing so to grow stronger? Is there really a level beyond rank 9?"
The seer shook his head again and said, "I don’t know. But I will suggest that we stop thinking and talking about them."
This warning made Loki raise an eyebrow and say, "Why not? It is not like they can hear us."
The seer struggled for a bit before saying, "I don’t know what they are capable of. But I do know that prevention is better than a cure. After all, we only have one life."
Loki believed that he possessed more than one life and could risk some of his lives to test out dangerous hypotheses like this. But then he remembered how Slav, a crippled Dao Lord, had nearly stopped him from using the Rewind Metac to reverse time, so he decided not to test the power of a complete Dao Lord.
After making his decision about this, he said to the seer, "Forget it. We have more important things to do."
Then he said, "What are the requirements to advance to rank 6? I want the exact details."
The seer was expressionless as ever as he said, "A rank 5 cultivator that wants to advance to rank 6 must have reached the peak of cultivation before they make the attempt. Their control of Metacs and their internal energy must have also reached 500%."
"The third requirement is that they must have a Dao Heart that is at rank 6. The final requirement is that they must have Level 5 Dao Status."
His voice was as if he were reading from a book. Knowledge came pouring out of him without much effort and without much emotion on his part.
