One shouldn't forget that among the twenty empty bowls,only fifteen of them had been found when the dealer opened the unpicked bowl.

This meant that other than one of them hitting the jackpot, five of them had obtained nothing at all!

Opening their bowls one by one, everyone in the beginning was only focussed on what they obtained. But soon they started looking towards the others since what they obtained was either an empty bowl or a pitiful amount of chips in comparison to what they bet.

It was during this that they managed to spot the bowl in front of Jian Shen who sat in the corner. It was a little hard to notice due to spatial array inside the bowl which compressed the size of the chips, but all anyone needed to do was pay proper attention towards the bowl Jian Shen had chosen and they'd notice how the number of chips was near uncountable.

"You won."

Not surprised in the slightest since while Jian Shen's acting might have been enough for him to fool others, it wasn't enough for him to fool her who was so close to him, Xiaxue while acting like kissing him on the cheek whispered into his ear, "Don't worry, I'll keep your secret."

Groaning on the inside at how it seemed impossible to hide anything from this woman, Jian Shen did his best to not show any change in his expression and moved the bowl closer to him in front of the greedy and jealous eyes of everyone around him.

As for Xiaxue, she showed no sign of moving away from him and only a.s.sured him that she wouldn't cause him any trouble and even help him if needed.

Trusting the woman not just because he was important to her but also because he doubted if the dao laws which could be comprehended from these pitiful chips would be of any use for someone as strong as her, Jian Shen placed the bowl inside the array which covered just him and no one else to restrict anyone outside this array from trying to comprehend dao through them.

…

Dao Cultivation was unlike the previous two Divine and Mortal cultivation where the increase in cultivation could be shown to the outside world and not just inside the dantian.

Made up of a total of ten major realms, Dao Cultivation began at the Dao Disciple Realm and ended at the Dao G.o.d Realm.

Excluding the Dao Disciple Realm which didn't follow the norm, each major realm of Dao Cultivation required the cultivator to comprehend enough Dao to form nine minor Dao Rings which will then be fused to become one major Dao Ring.

For example, to become a Dao Disciple, the cultivator only needed to comprehend any Dao enough to form one minor Dao Ring. However to become a Dao King the same cultivator would need to comprehend the same dao continuously and create a total of eight more minor Dao Rings which will all be fused together and become one major Dao Ring.

This one major Dao Ring will not only contain more power and control over the Dao Law but also serve as proof that the cultivator's cultivation had become a Dao King.

Similarly, the more major Dao Rings existed, the higher the cultivator's cultivation would be. With each major Dao Ring serving as proof for the cultivator's cultivation, a total of nine major Dao Rings served as proof that someone had ascended to the level of a Dao G.o.d.

...

Waiting as antic.i.p.ation as the array lit up once the bowl was placed within its confines, Jian Shen soon saw the bowl itself light up and cause the chips inside it to start vibrating after which they began breaking into particles so small that the naked eye couldn't see them.

Once this happened, the particles began floating and exited the jade bowl after which they covered Jian Shen and Xiaxue who were the only ones within the confines of the array.

Taking in a deep breath, Jian Shen didn't hesitate as the particles entered his body and mysteriously dissolved. Following this, Jian Shen didn't need to do anything else as he felt something inside him being stimulated.

What it was that was being stimulated was something that Jian Shen didn't know, but he could vaguely sense that whatever it was it was something related to his upper dantian.

Closing his eyes by instinct, Jian Shen soon began sensing the presence of something in the air around him which he wasn't privy to until now. The same way he felt when he first sensed Qi and Soul Essence, Jian Shen didn't need anyone to tell him that it was strands of dao laws which he was sensing right now.

Due to this, he began trying to absorb those strands inside his body when he mysteriously sensed that not only were the strands of dao laws refusing to enter him, his own body was not willing to let them enter him either.

Luckily, this confusion didn't last too long before Jian Shen who was trying to communicate with the unknown strand of dao began questioning himself what it was that he was trying to absorb inside him.

That burning hot sensation, chilling coldness, piercing terrifyingness, and the various other things he was sensing from the strands of Dao Laws he was trying to absorb, what were they?

Once this question entered Jian Shen's head, he completely stopped caring about the rest of the world and only focussed on trying to find out what the answer to his question was and hoped to understand it.
