Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

[Kunovic]

Why do people that have reached a very high rank not study other dao? Like why does the sovereign not study the dao of creation when it could reduce the weaknesses of his destruction dao? LB said that if we evolved our dao while not having Tri-Dao we will be barred from ever attaining it, but aren't gods supposed to be anomalies that did the impossible? Can a god only be the god of one dao? Is that why people with more than one dao need to fuse them into another dao? I know that there is no actual answer for why Gods cannot practice multiple dao but what your theories?

From my understanding there 2 types of Dao. Heavenly or natural Dao (which is objectively exist and natural to world) and Personal Dao (which created by cultivator when they achieve Immortal realm and independent from Heaven). Former is Dao person born with, later you form from your life experience, goals, personality etc. And personal Dao can include pretty much any other Dao, but they still will be only part of it.

For example, TW had obsession as personal Dao, but it includes body, space, elements and others. So I think Immortals and Gods can freely study other Dao (both heavenly and personal), but they will be just a part of their Dao (though they will work in some unique way, like only Sovereign destruction Dao can kill even Gods, but not TW who also apparently can use destruction)

Not really. The DAO you are the embodiment of make an insane difference

Like TW dao allows him to do far more versatile things then Sovereign dao but at the trade off of making him worse at combat unlike Sovereign whose destruction dao naturally makes him the opposite in term of trade offs

So TW was the God of three Dao? Why did the 'all gods are more or less the same in power' restriction apply to him then? If he was the embodiment of three separate Dao (Void, Elemetnal, Body) and all three of those have very broad and powerful applications, why wasn't he the most powerful God?

I get the fact that he is acknowledged as the most skillful and broad-spectrum God, but to me it seems weird then that he wasn't the most powerful. At lower levels it makes sense - split yourself into three different aspects and you kinda dilute your influence a little (when you get Tri-Dao your overall level with all of them falls a bit from the level you had before in one), but when you become the very Dao you wield it doesn't make sense that TW's Dao would be split/diluted.

Unless I'm forgetting some detail like TW's three Dao's are actually one split Dao, but even in that case if his one Dao can be split into three very broad and powerful Dao's on its own, it's still iffy as to why TW wasn't worth like three Gods for example. I'd imagine a God of the Elemental Dao would be very powerful on their own, but add to that Void (Time&Space) and Body (Self-Explanatory), and you get a beast.

I actually remember reading somewhere in the discord that his dao was actually obsession, but don't quote me on that. Regardless Tang Wei isn't a god of three dao's, once he reaches Immortality it all fuses into one again.

Also one dao isn't necessarily stronger than another, even if it gives him more options and more versatility they're all equal for the most part.

Niki said that it is a trade off regarding there dao (power vs versatility). And that Sovereign would win in a straight on fight with TW 100%.

The point is still that the gap isn't that big so Sovereign can't 2 v 1 or 1 v 1 do enough damage to kill a God. Not that they are literally identical in power like all 100% equal power instead of say one 100% and another 110%. So Sovereign still objectively stronger then the human gods individually from a power standpoint (without considering things like prep time)

Actually I read that too. Some say his dao is obsession and some say his dao is creation. Dao means your "way" or "path". TW's dao is obsession if you are looking at the literal meaning of the dao because his path is obsession but it is creation if you consider the in-game meaning of the Dao. His interpretation of his dao could have led him to his dao of creation. Since no person has the exact same dao, there is really possibility of us having creation dao, our fused dao will be different.

Feel like our Godhood dao being Chaos Dao would be interesting

Yeah Chaos Dao would be our Godhood Dao. Nicky has foreshadowed that too much.

Wonder how strong the MC would be with all 3 paths in his God stage

Significantly stronger than TW, if he follows TW's path, Would make TW look like a ant if MC creates his own path and reaches the heights I am expecting him to reach. MC would have all of TW's spells plus some of his own, a significantly better body and qi core. Unless MC has Primordial Chaos Dao and Divine level Trio Cultivation (Qi, Body, and Soul), He will only ever be equal to SLM.
