Many years ago, when the Human Race was first guided into the universe by the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, it was like walking into a bustling city for the first time from a remote mountain valley. The impact they received in that instant was unimaginable.
After obtaining the cultivation resources from the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, those humans began to improve by leaps and bounds. However, because the human race's innate talent was indeed nothing special, they appeared rather mediocre. As such, it was difficult for them to compare with the other races, especially the Origin Race. They were completely inferior.
If one's strength was insufficient, one's status would be low. This was the same everywhere. Therefore, in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, the human race was mostly ostracized and oppressed.
Because of this, the first Alliance Master and the other Dao Alliance ancestors shared the same ideals. They worked together and eventually established the Dao Alliance, gathering the humans in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. Only then did they truly establish themselves in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
Now, the Dao Alliance had been established for more than a million years. From its establishment until now, it had grown stronger and stronger. However, it was still at the bottom level among the nine major forces of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
Until now, the ancestors of the Dao Alliance had either died or disappeared. The current Primitive Emperor was the third Alliance Master. There were also two Vice Alliance Masters, one was the third and the other was the fourth.
Under the Vice Alliance Masters were the Venerables, also known as Great Venerables. There were a total of nine of them.
Under the Great Venerables were the Guardians. The number of Guardians was slightly higher, about a hundred of them.
The Great Venerables were Fifth Realm experts, and the Guardians were Fourth Realm experts. In other words, there were at least nine Fifth Realm experts in the Dao Alliance. Not counting the Alliance Master and Vice Alliance Masters, there were more than a hundred Fourth Realm experts.
If compared to the Void, it was equivalent to having at least nine Sovereign Realm experts and a hundred Dao Venerables. Even the Will Heavenly Palace was far from it.
However, the Dao Alliance with such strength was at the bottom level among the nine major forces of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. It was hard to imagine how strong the other eight major forces were.
Of course, the Single-Horn Castle and the Dao Alliance were not much different.
The Primitive Emperor's purpose of summoning Chen Zong was very straightforward. First, he wanted to meet Chen Zong face to face and have a chat with him to increase his understanding of Chen Zong. With the Primitive Emperor's experience, he could easily see the other party's character and temperament, and see if he was worth nurturing.
Although some people had outstanding talent, their temperament was not good and not worth nurturing. Because after nurturing, not only did they not contribute to the Dao Alliance, but instead, they only cared about their own interests.... How could such people be nurtured?
There were very few things things that didn't ask for returns?
There was no love and hatred and love without cause.
Compared to those who fought for their own fortuitous opportunities and faced life and death crises, having someone give them a fortuitous opportunity and then returning the favor was the safest and gentler way.
The Primitive Emperor was the leader of the Dao Alliance and also one of the Supremacies of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. He had a lofty status and was usually very busy, so he wouldn't casually summon anyone. He would only do so if there was an important matter or if he thought highly of someone.
Was, he Venerables.....
When Chen Zong left the Primitive Emperor's courtyard, he had gained a lot.
"Little guy, I do have some opportunities, but I can't give you too much. It's not good for you," the Primitive Emperor said in a low voice in the courtyard.
It sounded as if giving the other party more opportunities would allow the other party to improve even more. However, giving too much would leave behind a hidden negative effect.
Reaping without sowing was not a good thing for cultivators, especially those who relied on their own abilities.
Because they were geniuses who made their way through step by step.
Fighting for and obtaining by oneself was the result of one's hard work.
Of course, a simple gift was nothing.
Everything was about being just right.
Chen Zong left quickly with the Primitive Emperor's gift. To be honest, Chen Zong was surprised that he could get the opportunities. Because he didn't think about it when he came.
The first opportunity was the comprehension that the Primitive Emperor gave him when he came. At that time, he only had a preliminary understanding. He needed to go back and study it.
The second opportunity was a secret technique, an incomplete secret technique.
When the Primitive Emperor learned that Chen Zong cultivated both Qi and body cultivation, he was very surprised. When he learned that Chen Zong didn't have a body cultivation technique comparable to the Nine Heaven's Breath Gale Annihilation, the Primitive Emperor gave Chen Zong a secret technique.
This secret technique was called Mirror's Extremity. It was obtained by the Primitive Emperor in a secret realm in the universe many years ago. As it was only the first volume, it was only useful for the first three realms. Moreover, it required one to have extraordinary attainments in both Qi Cultivation and Body Cultivation to be able to cultivate it.
It was extremely difficult for the human race to cultivate both Qi and body cultivation. Only a few people had the ability to do so.
Therefore, Mirror's Extremity had always been in the hands of the Primitive Emperor.
Now, the opportunity was right, and he gave it to Chen Zong.
After leaving the valley, Chen Zong saw Lin Ming waiting outside. They chatted and laughed as they left, returning to the Heart Sword Peak.
Lin Ming's cave dwelling was in the Fifth Heaven. He couldn't stay in the Sixth Heaven for long, so he left.
After returning to the Heart Sword Peak and entering the Heart Sword Palace, Chen Zong began his seclusion.
The first thing was to comprehend the mystery of the Sword Dao.
The Primitive Emperor wasn't a sword cultivator, but as an expert, he had dabbled in the Sword Dao. Or rather, he had a certain understanding. At least compared to Chen Zong, he had a better understanding.
Therefore, the mysteries brought by his brush tip gave Chen Zong a kind of inspiration, allowing him to comprehend.
As for the first volume of the secret technique Mirror's Extremity, Chen Zong put it aside for the time being. Because the Heart Sutra directly activated the Heart Ten Intents, comprehending it at the fastest speed.
That kind of comprehension would stay in the mind and would slowly fade with the passage of time. He had to seize the time to comprehend it with all his might before it completely faded.
The effect of comprehending with the Heart Ten Intents was more than ten times that of normal comprehension. It was comprehending from ten different angles. That kind of improvement could be said to be more than twenty or even thirty times more.
Time passed. A month later, a straight line appeared between Chen Zong's eyebrows. It was like a sword edge, spreading out a shockingly sharp fluctuation.
That was the Sword Dao Divine Pattern!
It was a sword pattern that Chen Zong had comprehended and condensed before. But before that, the sword pattern wasn't as clear as it was now, and its sharp aura wasn't as strong as it was now.
This meant that Chen Zong had condensed the first sword pattern to the extreme.
Immediately after, another rune appeared beside the first rune. However, the rune was extremely faint and couldn't be compared to the first rune at all.
"The second sword pattern." Chen Zong opened his eyes, revealing a trace of excitement.
He didn't expect that the opportunity brought by the Primitive Emperor's brush tip not only allowed him to condense the first sword pattern to the extreme, but also allowed him to condense the second sword pattern. Even if it was just a very faint one and didn't have much power, it meant that his comprehension of the Sword Dao had increased.
He took a step forward.
In the Spirit Condensation Realm, there were very few people who could condense two Great Path Divine Patterns.
At least as far as Chen Zong knew, there were only a few people who were at the Spirit Condensation Realm.
For example, Hou, Deng Xing, Green Nightmare, and so on. As for Sui Han and Wu Dao, Chen Zong hadn't fought with them before, nor had he seen their battle. So, he wasn't sure. But thinking about it, they should have condensed two Great Path Divine Patterns.
It could be seen how difficult it was to condense two Great Path Divine Patterns in the Spirit Condensation Realm.
"The second sword pattern is just a preliminary condensation. Next, I'll slowly comprehend it and completely condense it," Chen Zong said to himself.
In the cultivation of the universe, the Spirit Condensation Realm was equivalent to building one's foundation. The more solid the foundation was, the more helpful it would be for future cultivation. Because to a certain extent, the foundation was equivalent to potential.
The level of potential had a great impact on a cultivator's future cultivation.
Those who didn't have a solid foundation and insufficient potential might stay in the Third Realm for a long time. But if the foundation was solid enough and the potential was enough, then the time they stayed in the Third Realm would be shorter, unless they deliberately suppressed their realm and didn't break through.
Previously, Chen Zong had the idea of breaking through to the Third Realm. After all, he felt that he had reached the limit of the Second Realm. But now, he temporarily suppressed this idea, because he could still continue to improve, at least in the Sword Dao.
After completely condensing the second sword pattern, he would think about breaking through.
Then, he would start to cultivate the Extreme Mirror Secret Technique.
The Extreme Mirror Secret Technique was a very special secret technique. It couldn't directly increase one's strength, but it also didn't need to be used. It was the kind of unique secret technique that would always exist once it was mastered.
The cultivation requirements of the Extreme Mirror Secret Technique were very high. That was, one had to cultivate both Body Refining and Qi Refining at the same time. But there were very, very few cultivators who could do this.
Moreover, those races with special talents didn't count. For example, the Giant Race had extremely strong bodies. Even if they walked on the path of Qi Refining and improved their physique, they couldn't cultivate the Extreme Mirror Secret Technique because it wasn't a power that they cultivated themselves.
This point was very interesting.
The function of the Extreme Mirror Secret Technique was to equalize the power of Qi Refining and Body Refining at the same time. In other words, take Chen Zong's situation as an example. Chen Zong cultivated the Annihilation Force of the Nine Heavens Breathing Gale on the Qi Refining Path, but the cultivation method that he cultivated on the Body Refining Path was inferior to the Annihilation Force of the Nine Heavens Breathing Gale on the Qi Refining Path, so there was a gap in the power that he cultivated.
But if he cultivated the Extreme Mirror Secret Technique, then Chen Zong didn't need to cultivate any special Body Refining Technique, because the mystery of the Extreme Mirror Secret Technique would allow Chen Zong to cultivate Qi Refining Technique at the same time as his Body Refining Technique, leading to the simultaneous improvement of his Body Refining Technique.
In other words, the Extreme Mirror Secret Technique allowed Chen Zong to improve his Qi Refining and Body Refining at the same time when he cultivated. Moreover, the level of power wouldn't be inferior to that of Qi Refining at all.
It was as if he had also mastered a Body Refining Technique of the same level as the Qi Refining Technique. Moreover, he could cultivate both at the same time, which would be more efficient.
The advantages were so obvious, but of course, the disadvantages were also there. That was, the resources consumed during cultivation would be doubled, but this was nothing.
After comprehending, Chen Zong immediately began to cultivate.
The Extreme Mirror Secret Technique was not very difficult. With Chen Zong's comprehension ability and the help of the Heart Sutra, he completely comprehended it in just a few days. Of course, it might not be easy for others.
After comprehending it, Chen Zong immediately began to cultivate.
