My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 364: Chapter 362: Dao Path

Su Qing picked up book after book.

He quickly flipped through them.

Once he had committed them to memory,

he sat back down in his spot

and began to ponder.

This was because he needed to not just memorize but also comprehend, transforming the knowledge from the books into his own understanding.

Simply stuffing one’s head with all sorts of complicated information didn’t make it one’s own knowledge.

Doing that would only turn a person into a fool, a mere vessel for others’ knowledge.

Knowledge was something that others had obtained through pursuit, refutation, and verification.

Therefore, he had to discern for himself.

What was the knowledge he truly needed.

...

Su Qing had already extracted the knowledge he wanted.

The Dao Path was the power of the Star Sea Great World.

This power seemed to be a part of truth itself.

Pursuing a Dao Path would allow the pursuer to possess more of its power.

But for each Dao Path, the method of acquiring its power was different.

Some Dao Paths required one to learn and acquire knowledge.

Only then could one gain power.

For example, the All-Knowing Dao Path was one of the main Dao Paths of the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

It relied on acquiring knowledge and tracing its birth, from genesis to evolution.

Upon understanding this process, the power of a typical All-Knowing Dao Path would increase.

However, this also required one to understand the knowledge personally.

It was like some of the people in the All-Knowing Institute.

Su Qing had detected chips in their brains.

But these chips were only found among commoners.

The wealthy, or those who had embarked on a Dao Path, would not use them.

He had barely seen any who did.

It wasn’t a case of the more Dao Path powers, the better.

The All-Knowing Institute divided the Dao Path into 12 Steps.

The strongest in the All-Knowing Institute had only reached the 8th Step of the Dao Path.

There were two ways to acquire a Dao Path.

One was to perform corresponding actions.

After reaching a certain level of proficiency, the Dao Path would naturally manifest.

The second was through awakening, which was basically a matter of luck.

Another way was to consume rare items from the Star Sea.

Or, by using a certain treasure, one could embark on a Dao Path.

’So, aside from granting a bit of a Dao Path and altering one’s constitution, the Star Fruit has no other use.’

’But this Dao Path...’

’The power of the Dao Path... these people’s power all seems weaker than mine.’

’I suppose this counts as performing a corresponding action, and the Dao Path appeared when I broke through to the Ninth Realm.’

’But the power the Dao Path has granted me doesn’t seem strong enough.’

’At most, it only serves as an auxiliary power.’

Su Qing sank into thought.

The All-Knowing Institute’s knowledge on these matters was limited to this.

But Su Qing knew that beyond the Dao Path 12 Steps, there was definitely an even greater power.

Like Destiny, for instance.

And like the Greed Realm.

Those two were each more powerful than the last.

So far, Su Qing could only contend with the Greed Realm when using his Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect.

Otherwise, he was almost instantly defeated.

The Greed Realm had become incomparably powerful by relying on the Devouring Dao Path.

Su Qing had only lived for a little over fifty years.

Almost sixty.

The Greed Realm, however, had lived for an unknown number of years.

Su Qing stood up.

He needed more knowledge.

"Ancestor?" Huang Xiaoshu was in the library, so of course she was also reading a book.

She couldn’t just stare at Su Qing.

Normal Daoist Cultivators were past the age of being swayed by mere appearances.

Although Huang Xiaoshu called him "Ancestor" with every other word, Su Qing could sense that she was quite a bit older than he was.

Su Qing simply hadn’t bothered to deny it.

He let them call him whatever they wanted.

"I’m going to read more books. I’ll be in the library for the near future."

"So, you should head back first."

Su Qing’s mouth didn’t move, but his voice transmitted directly into Huang Xiaoshu’s ears.

Huang Xiaoshu was stunned. She was dying to know how he did that.

As a member of the All-Knowing Dao Path, Huang Xiaoshu was naturally curious.

But she didn’t say anything more.

She nodded in response to Su Qing.

Picking up a book, she headed out.

...

Su Qing, meanwhile, began picking up books describing all the different Dao Paths.

There were many records.

Su Qing needed to understand them.

Among them,

Su Qing learned about the Sound Dao Path.

Beings on the Sound Dao Path needed to pursue music to develop their so-called power.

They achieved the Great Dao through sound.

This also existed in the Spirit Realm.

It was just very rare.

The Flower Dao Path, one could say, was a kind of performance. By being like a flower, one attracted gazes and attention.

And through this, one could gain power.

But no powerful existences from the Flower Dao Path had ever appeared.

This made it completely different.

Su Qing couldn’t figure out the Flower Dao Path.

Then there was the Star Dao Path.

An extremely rare and uncommon Dao Path.

This Dao Path involved absorbing the power between Stars to grow continuously.

Moreover, one could transform into a Star.

For the Star Dao Path, the first 5 steps basically didn’t require too much exploration.

One only needed to systematically absorb the Power of the Stars to achieve them easily.

Most critically, the Star Dao Path greatly affected one’s lifespan.

After embarking on the Star Dao Path, one’s lifespan could, by absorbing the Power of the Stars and forging a Star Body, become nearly the same as that of a Star.

Under normal circumstances, one would almost never die.

There were also some other Dao Paths.

All of which required self-training.

For instance, Sword, Fist, Saber, Spear, Poetry...

These were all derivative Dao Paths.

They all required self-training.

But within the All-Knowing Institute, these Dao Paths were virtually nonexistent.

So, a Dao Path was, in essence, stepping into a type of Realm.

But the Realms of some Dao Paths had high upper limits and low lower limits.

Just like here in the All-Knowing Institute.

The strongest among them probably couldn’t even defeat Su Qing.

Their physical bodies were far too fragile.

Su Qing still didn’t know how the power of his Dao Path truly worked.

But as for the Dao Path bestowed by his Immortal Mark,

Su Qing actually felt it was a bit weak.

Not as substantial as his own constitution.

’Perhaps it’s a matter of not properly utilizing the mark.’

Su Qing was also looking for ways to train it.

The Immortal Dao Path.

Its main focus was on Recovery Power.

Although this recovery could even affect the soul,

Su Qing hadn’t really tried to understand or develop it.

It was just like his Void Nether Dao Body.

Even now, Su Qing was merely continuing his Enlightenment of its Dao Essence.

Dao Essence.

To put it bluntly,

it was a bit like the Dao Paths of the Star Sea Great World.

And yet, not quite.

Unless he comprehended it to a later stage

and a corresponding mark truly appeared.

...

’It seems having more than one Dao Path isn’t a problem.’

’I just don’t know what will happen later on.’

Su Qing considered it and decided he should definitely eat the Star Fruit. At the same time, he also wanted to synthesize his Void Nether Dao Body.

His Void Nether Dao Body wasn’t strong right now.

So he had to synthesize it again.

Developing a constitution required time.

It also required energy.

Su Qing could only try to raise the lower limit of this constitution.

Su Qing read for a while longer.

Then he noticed someone had appeared across the table from him.

This person was looking at Su Qing with a complicated expression.

Su Qing closed his book and looked at him, his face devoid of expression.

"Isle Lord Su." The other person sent a voice transmission.

"Don’t call me Isle Lord Su anymore. The island is gone, and the Spirit Realm is completely gone too." Su Qing replied via transmission.

He had just seen the news.

The information observed by the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

Apparently, after its battle with Su Qing, the Greed Realm

had impatiently devoured the world’s will-core.

"My master has already been reincarnated on Jianmu."

"As for the Demon Race, they were studied, but their souls have all been reincarnated."

"Thank you!"

When Qing Yang sent this transmission, his gratitude was sincere.

But Su Qing let out a breath.

"You were just lucky."

"There’s nothing to thank me for."

"In the end, our foundation was just insufficient."

There was a deep sadness in Su Qing’s eyes, and seeing this, Qing Yang didn’t dare say more.

An expression like this was rarely seen on Su Qing’s face.

And for him to show such emotion at this time meant the loss of Qingsu Island was truly immense.

"Isle Lord Su, what are your plans?" Qing Yang asked. "I, Qing Yang, am willing to follow you."

Su Qing shook his head and sighed.

"I don’t have any plans. I don’t need followers anymore."

Qing Yang fell silent.

Su Qing must have just recently arrived at the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

Qing Yang had been rescued much earlier.

He had even watched the battle back then between that enormous Dharma Aspect and the Greed Realm, the so-called Scourge of the Rainbow Sky.

The power on display had been absurdly strong.

Because the Greed Realm was simply too vast.

And Su Qing was also too powerful.

Although Isle Lord Su had been defeated, Qing Yang would never think Su Qing was weak.

He couldn’t possibly say Su Qing was weak right now.

Su Qing’s combat prowess was far greater than his own.

He himself had trouble dealing with those insects.

Especially since some of the insects had absurdly high soul strength.
