Zhou Tong stayed in the White Sun world for a year.
The sword scars and sword intent in the White Sun world, as well as the sword arts left behind, were not very profound. Zhou Tong only took three days to fully comprehend them. However, he needed to use the sword arts here to verify his cultivation Dao. Similarly, he needed to take care of Ji Ning's state of sword enlightenment. Therefore, he stayed for a year.
"A year has passed. How's your progress in comprehending the sword arts?" Zhou Tong looked at Ji Ning.
"Daofather Fuju truly lives up to his reputation as the number one Sword Immortal of the Three Realms. Even though this is a sword-art he casually left behind, I was only able to comprehend a small portion of it!" Ning felt rather ashamed. After a year, he had only been able to comprehend ten or twenty percent of it.
"It's already not bad if you can comprehend ten to twenty percent at the Essence Soul realm. However, Fuju Daozu left behind a total of twenty-seven Small Worlds. Apart from the core Sword Immortal world and the White Sun world that we previously studied, there are still twenty-five worlds. We will stay in each world for a year or two before heading to the Sword Immortal world!" Zhou Tong said.
"You will only be able to go further in your Sword Dao if you gain more knowledge. However, if you can comprehend ten to twenty percent in the first world, you might be able to comprehend twenty to thirty percent in the following worlds. After traversing the remaining twenty-five worlds, you should be able to fully comprehend a world's sword arts. When that happens, heading to the Sword Immortal world will be effective. "
"Let's go!" Zhou Tong led Ji Ning out of the White Sun world and headed for the second stop — the South Parting world.
Following that, the two of them walked through one Small World after another.
Every Small World had sword scars left behind by Fuju Daozu casually. They were either cleaving open a river with a strike, piercing through a massive passageway with a strike, or casually writing and drawing on a plain …
The two of them comprehended every mark in the twenty-six worlds.
They would stay in each world for a period of time. The shortest was a year, while the longest was two years.
During this process of comprehension, Zhou Tong had completely comprehended the Way of the Sword. Even his own Sword Force had silently reached the third realm.
Not only that, but his Saber Dao, which corresponded to the Sword Dao, had also advanced to a whole new level while he was comprehending the Sword Dao — Complete Comprehension. Even his Saber Power had reached the third realm.
The saber and the sword had many similarities, but there were also many conflicts. In the process of enlightenment, Zhou Tong consciously observed the Sword Dao to comprehend the saber. Therefore, the cultivation of the Saber Dao was also improving at the same time.
After 35 years, the two of them finally arrived at the last realm of the 27 realms of Fuju, which was also the core realm — Sword Immortal Realm.
Sword Immortal World was still a small world. However, there were no mortals in this world. To be precise, mortals could not survive here.
The entire world was filled with an extremely terrifying sword intent. Mortals who had never cultivated before would feel as if their souls had been slashed the moment they entered this world. They would weaken day by day until they died.
The moment he entered Sword Immortal World, the first thing he saw was the five huge mountains in the center of the world.
Each of the five mountains was taller than the last. The first mountain was a thousand miles tall, the second was two thousand miles tall, the third was three thousand miles tall … and the last mountain was five thousand miles tall.
Such mountains in a small world like this were simply inconceivable.
Each mountain was like a sharp sword that pierced the clouds.
This was the most famous great opportunity in the Three Realms — Wu Baofeng!
Fuju Daozu had left all his best sword techniques here for future generations to see. Countless cultivators came to this world every day to see his sword techniques.
"What a terrifying aura, what a powerful sword intent!" Ji Ning looked at the majestic mountain from afar with a trace of shock in his eyes. Especially since this was the first time he had encountered such a sword intent, his face turned pale.
When Zhou Tong saw this, he casually tapped Ji Ning's forehead with a finger to help him calm down.
"The sword techniques here … the aura is too powerful!" Ji Ning's face was filled with shock. This was the first time he had been forced to retreat by such a sword intent.
"A true sword technique requires at least a Heaven Immortal level to comprehend." Zhou Tong looked at Ji Ning. "It's been more than thirty years. Your 'Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens' should be about to break through to the Return to Void Realm, right?!"
Although the sword technique left behind by Fuju Daozu was the main sword technique in the past thirty years, Ji Ning had also been comprehending the sword technique related to the 'Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens' that Zhou Tong had given him.
"I might need another half a month!" Ji Ning pondered for a moment before saying.
"Then you break through first. I'll go take a look at Wu Baofeng. I'll come find you after I break through!" Zhou Tong said as he flew towards Wu Baofeng.
Just as Zhou Tong approached Wu Baofeng, four streams of light suddenly flew over.
"Hmm?!" Zhou Tong glanced around and immediately understood. One of them was Lu Dongbin, who he had met at the Great Xia's Immortal Destiny Convention. However, he had never seen the other three before.
"Are you fellow daoist Jie Huo!" Lu Dongbin shouted from afar.
"So it's fellow daoist Lu!" Zhou Tong smiled.
Lu Dongbin smiled. "I heard that fellow daoist left Great Xia with his disciple. I guessed that fellow daoist might come here. Sure enough! Hahaha! "
"Fellow daoist Jie Huo's disciple is already a sword immortal. Fellow daoist Jie Huo's own sword dao must not be bad!" Lu Dongbin explained.
"So you came here to wait for me?" Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows. Lu Dongbin was waiting for him?
"That's not it!"
Lu Dongbin shook his head, then pointed at the three nearby figures. "Let me introduce you, fellow daoist. These three are the disciples of Fuju Daozu; fellow daoist Daoless, Empyrean God Hiddenwillow, and fellow daoist Jimin."
After Fuju Daozu's death, everyone naturally scattered. Only three Empyrean Gods and True Immortals remained under his tutelage, and they were the three in front of him.
Of the three, True Immortal Jimin had joined the school the earliest, followed by Empyrean God Hiddenwillow, and True Immortal Daoless.
Of the three, True Immortal Jimin was the most powerful, and he was one of only two people in the Three Realms who had mastered the [Five Treasures] sword-art. He was definitely one of the top figures amongst Empyrean Gods and True Immortals, and he was completely on par with Lu Dongbin.
Zhou Tong nodded, then greeted them.
The nearby Empyrean God Hiddenwillow said, "Not long ago, I heard from Eastflower that fellow daoist had overcome the Pure Yang Goldlight Lightning, which is extremely rare in a trillion years.
Eastflower was Lu Dongbin. Prior to his reincarnation, he had been known as Exalted Immortal Eastflower. Now that he had reincarnated, he was known as Lu Dongbin. Those who had known him long ago all referred to him as Eastflower.
"Pure Yang Goldlight Lightning! That's a truly rare item. Not long ago, when Eastflower told us about it, we were all shocked as well!" The two nearby True Immortals sighed in amazement as well. "Since ancient times, very few Empyrean Gods of the Three Realms have ever seen something like this. Fellow daoist, for you to be able to summon such lightning … you truly are extraordinary."
Zhou Tong smiled slightly, gladly accepting their compliments.
