"Rumble!"
Not long after Zhou Tong led Ji Ning away from the Grand Xia, fire and water suddenly descended from the heavens. Solar Truefire and Lunar Truewater simultaneously descended from the heavens.
Ji Ning had successfully broken through to the Primal level as well.
Prior to this, he had already understood how to break through using the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. However, because he was going to participate in the Conclave of Immortal Destiny, he had intentionally suppressed his cultivation. Now that the Conclave had concluded, he naturally began to break through.
"Break through. Next, I'll give you a month to say goodbye to your friends and family. I'll lead you away from the Grand Xia!" Zhou Tong said. "The path of cultivation cannot be one of constant training. You need to experience the vastness of the world."
"Yes!" Ji Ning nodded.
In the following month, Ji Ning first went to King Yan's Estate to say goodbye to his cousin. Then, he returned to the Ji clan to say goodbye to his parents. Finally, he returned to the imperial capital of the Grand Xia to find Zhou Tong once more.
"Have you arranged everything?" Zhou Tong asked.
Ji Ning nodded.
"Then let's go!" With but a thought, Zhou Tong led Ji Ning into the skies. Soon, they arrived in the air, and then he casually chopped out with his palm like a blade. Instantly, a tunnel appeared in the void.
He led Ji Ning away from the Grand Xia.
Within the void, Zhou Tong led Ji Ning forward, one step at a time.
"Ji Ning, do you know the difference between Empyrean Gods, True Gods, and Zu Shen?" Zhou Tong asked as they walked.
"Your disciple does not know," Ji Ning replied.
Zhou Tong said, "Once you've comprehended a single Dao, you've reached the standard of becoming an Empyrean God. Next, you only need to use that Dao as the core to construct your divine body. Then, you'll become an Empyrean God. Once you've comprehended a Dao of the Heavens and used that Dao of the Heavens as the core to construct your divine body, you'll become an Zu Shen."
"After Pangu split the heavens and the earth apart, ten Heavenly Daos appeared in the world. They are the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as Yin, Yang, Life, Death, and the Heavenly Dao of Primordial Chaos."
"Thus, what happens next will affect your Dao path!" Zhou Tong looked towards Ji Ning.
"The path of the Dao?!" Ning was slightly stunned. He didn't quite understand.
"Say, if you use a Dao of the Water element as the core to construct your divine body when you've become an Empyrean God, and then use a Dao of the Fire element to construct your divine body when you've become a True God, do you think you'll still be able to reach the Zu Shen State?" Zhou Tong looked towards Ji Ning.
"This!?" Ji Ning was stunned. He had never heard of this before.
"Actually, this is just my guess. After I've become an Empyrean God, I've communicated with Xia Mang, Chi Ming Daozu, and the others. There's no such taboo in the Three Realms. However, there are too few Zu Shen in the Three Realms. That's why I'm guessing that there's a conflict between the Daos they use to construct their divine bodies? "Zhou Tong said leisurely.
"The Dao I used to construct my divine body when I became an Empyrean God is the Dao of Raging Fire. The Dao of Raging Fire is a branch of the Dao of Explosive Flames. I've already comprehended the Dao of Explosive Flames. When I construct my divine body in the future, I'll use this Dao. If I can reach the Zu Shen State in the future, my divine body will naturally be constructed using the Heavenly Dao of Fire."
"However, this is my fire elemental cultivation path, not yours." Zhou Tong looked towards Ji Ning, "I suggest you think carefully about what kind of Dao path you want to take."
"What kind of Dao should I take!?" Ji Ning was a little confused. He really couldn't figure it out.
"Before you become an Empyrean God, you still have a lot of time to think about your own Dao path," Zhou Tong said casually, "However, I'm going to bring you to the Twenty-seven Worlds of Fuju to take a look."
"Twenty-seven Worlds of Fuju? Is there anything special about that world?!" Ji Ning asked.
"It's not just one world. Twenty-seven Worlds of Fuju have a total of twenty-seven worlds. These twenty-seven worlds were once the territory of the Three Realms' number one Sword Immortal, Fuju Daozu," Zhou Tong explained.
In ancient times, many True God Daozu had perished. During the Three Realms era, many had perished as well.
However, the most shocking thing was Fuju Daozu's death. No one knew how he died. They only knew that he died in the Primal Chaos. Nothing else was known.
It must be understood that Fuju Daozu was the number one Sword Immortal of the Three Realms. His death naturally caused an enormous uproar. The most famous True Gods of the Three Realms all went to investigate the cause of his death, but to no avail.
However, although Fuju Daozu had died, the Twenty-seven Worlds of Fuju which he had once ruled over had become famous.
When Fuju Daozu had been meditating on his sword-arts, he had left behind a series of sword scars on the mountains and rivers of the Twenty-seven Worlds of Fuju. These sword scars contained unparalleled divine might, and many Empyrean Gods and True Immortals didn't dare to touch them.
When Daofather Fuju had been alive, there had naturally been no one who dared to go to these places. However, Daofather Fuju had died. Thus, the sword-scars he had left behind had become the most famous and greatest fortune of the Three Realms.
Countless Immortals and Fiendgods of the Three Realms had come here to meditate. In addition, because this was a publicly known fortune, no one dared to disturb it. To disturb the sword scars was to disturb the fortunes of countless people in the Three Realms. The fury of countless Immortals and Fiendgods would be enough to annihilate that person.
Every single world of the Twenty-seven Worlds had a large number of sword scars. But of course, the world with the greatest concentration of sword scars was Sword Immortal World. In fact, there was even Fuju Daozu's legacy there … the [Five Treasures] sword-art.
Thus, many Empyrean Gods and True Immortals would enter Sword Immortal World after traversing the other twenty-six worlds.
"The [Five Treasures] sword-art. Fuju Daozu, Sword Immortal World …" Upon hearing Zhou Tong's description, Ji Ning felt his heart surge with excitement. He was rather eager. He himself trained in the Dao of the Sword, and so he had a special feeling towards the sword. He hoped that his sword-arts would be able to improve qualitatively in the Twenty-seven Worlds of Fuju.
"Master, you walk the Dao of Fire. Are you going to meditate on the Dao of the Sword?" Ji Ning was rather confused.
According to Zhou Tong's description, his path was already set. Logically speaking, he should spend more time on the Dao of Fire and become a True God or Zu Shen as soon as possible. Why did he have to think about the Dao of the Sword?
"I train in the Dao of Fire, but it doesn't mean that I don't need other Daos. Have you ever thought about what would happen if I were to integrate the Dao of the Sword into my Dao of Fire?" Zhou Tong looked at Ji Ning.
Ji Ning shook his head.
Zhou Tong said, "My fire will have an extraordinarily aggressive nature. By then, water will no longer be the nemesis of fire. By the same logic, if one focuses on the Dao of the Sword, they can also integrate the Dao of Fire and Water into their own Dao. "
Ji Ning nodded. At the same time, a thought appeared in his mind, "Is every Dao so inclusive? Sword-Arts, Dao of the Sword … According to master, it's best for me to choose a Dao of the same origin after I become a Empyrean God. The Dao of the Sword is undoubtedly a Great Dao that leads to the heavens. Could it be that my future path will be the Dao of the Sword? "
However, after this thought appeared, Ji Ning quickly discarded it, "It's still too early to talk about Great Daos. Constructing a divine body is something that I need to consider when I'm in the Heavenly God Realm. At the very least, I'll have to wait until I'm in the Return to Void Stage."
