"γThe fastest update, no pop-ups!
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen meditated cross-legged, sitting six feet away from the old woman in red, with his hands on his knees, like a student seeking knowledge, looking very serious.
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was so polite, and her temperament was also very elegant, the red-clothed old woman nodded and said, "Your cultivation has reached the eighth transformation of the fish and dragon, and I believe that you will soon begin to comprehend the Holy Dao." So, what is the essence of the Word?"
"Some people say that the holy path is to constantly seek knowledge, keep learning, and keep exploring, so that one's knowledge becomes more profound, and finally, through everything in the world, so that the spiritual qi reaches the realm of transcendence. For example, spiritual monks and Confucian monks. β
It is also said that the Word is a kind of rule in the dark. For example, it is a rule that the sun shines on the leaves of a tree, leaving a shadow on the ground, and that water flows from high to low. β
"Humans have come to understand the first rule, and they have learned that they can take advantage of the shade of a tree. When human beings understand the second rule, they also know that if they go down the river, they can travel thousands of miles in a day. β
It's just that these are the most basic rules of nature, and as long as they are intelligent beings, they can easily detect and comprehend. As a result, the ability to adapt to the environment is enhanced and some incredible things are done. β
"The rules of the Holy Dao are even more subtle, and ordinary people can't even perceive their existence. Only by constantly studying and contemplating can the monk comprehend it and become a semi-saint or a saint. β
"Kendo is a type of holy way, and it represents the sharpest side of the holy way. β
"Of course, the Dao of Nature, the Dao of the Saint, the Dao of the Sword, and even the mysterious Dao of Time and the Dao of Space are actually the Dao of Heaven. β
......
............
The sermon of the old woman in red lasted for nine days and nine nights, not only including the way of the sword and the natural avenue, but also explained some truths about space and time to Zhang Ruochen.
With her cultivation and age, her own knowledge is, of course, quite profound. The things explained are all-encompassing, from astronomy and geography to all living beings.
The old woman in red is like the embodiment of heaven and earth, and she can be called omniscient.
Even though she is not a descendant of time and space, her understanding of space and time far exceeds that of Zhang Ruochen, making Zhang Ruochen unreachable.
Some of the things she explained, for Zhang Ruochen, completely opened a new door, like an initiation, which made Zhang Ruochen's heart clearer, and his view of everything gradually became clearer.
Zhang Ruochen absorbed Qi Hong's knowledge of the Sword Dao and the knowledge of the Holy Dao, and there were still some muddy things, and many things could not be understood, until this moment, there was a feeling that he was about to be comprehended.
"Wow!"
Above Zhang Ruochen's head, a pillar of light rushed out.
The next moment, his martial soul condensed in the pillar of light, taking on a human form, exactly like Zhang Ruochen.
At the same time, the rules of the first holy path continued to condense, and finally took on a form, like an extremely thin ray of light, fused with the martial soul.
Immediately after that, there is the second Sacred Path Rule, and the third Sacred Path Rule...... , condensed one after another, like spider silk.
I don't know how long it took for Zhang Ruochen's martial soul to stabilize, and a total of thirteen holy path rules were condensed.
The red-clothed old woman nodded and said, "Just the cultivation of the eighth transformation of the fish dragon can condense the thirteen holy path rules, which is already quite good. β
With the realm of the old woman in red, being able to make her say the word "good" is already a very high evaluation.
You must know that if the Ninth Transformation Cultivator of the Ichthyosaurus can condense the twelve rules of the Holy Dao, he can already impact the Half-Saint Realm.
It's just that the true pride of the heavens, even if he condenses the twelve holy path rules, will not easily break through, but will continue to comprehend, continue to accumulate, and strive to condense more holy path rules.
Why?
The rules of the twelve holy paths have been integrated with the holy soul of the monk, that is, the twelve holy path paths of the monk. Even if a demi-saint comprehends the thirteenth rule of the holy path, he will not be able to merge into the holy soul.
Because, once it breaks through to the semi-saint realm, the monk's holy soul will be completely formed and become stable, and it will not be able to continue to merge with the rules of the holy path. At that time, the rules of the Holy Path that I had come up with could only become an auxiliary to myself.
A half-saint can only become holy by constantly perfecting the rules of the twelve holy paths, or by choosing one of the rules of the holy path as the main discipline and cultivating it to the extreme.
It's just that in the Holy Soul, the more Holy Dao rules are fused, the power of the Holy Soul will definitely be stronger and more comprehensive, and it will have infinite benefits for future cultivation.
The old woman in red continued: "Between heaven and earth, there are nine 'Ancient Paths', seventy-two 'Supreme Sacred Paths', three thousand 'Great Daos', and one hundred thousand 'Paths'. β
"In the Ichthyosaurus Realm, the stronger the Holy Dao rules that are integrated into the Holy Soul, the more Holy Dao rules are integrated, the higher the future achievements will definitely be. β
"Now, the thirteen holy path rules you have condensed are all just small paths. If you break through to the Semi-Saint realm now, then your seedling, which is not bad, will be completely wasted. β
Obviously, the old woman in red was reminding Zhang Ruochen, lest he be too utilitarian and destroy himself.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Dare to ask my mother-in-law, how can I cultivate the Great Dao, the Supreme Holy Dao, and the Ancient Dao?"
The old woman with red desire seemed very patient and said: "The path is easy to make, but the road is difficult to repair. The supreme enlightenment, the heaven xiΓ unparalleled. β
"The Three Thousand Great Dao, any of them, is quite mysterious, and only a genius with a high level of comprehension can cultivate the rules of the Holy Dao of a Great Dao in the Ichthyosaurus Realm. β
"As for the seventy-two supreme holy paths, they are even more remarkable, and being able to comprehend one of them is enough to be used. β
"For example, the way of the sword is one of the seventy-two supreme holy paths. β
"It's just that the monks of the Fish and Dragon Realm, only by cultivating the sword to the tenth layer of the Great Perfection, can they have the opportunity to condense the rules of the sword. β
Zhang Ruochen suddenly realized and said: "No wonder most of the monks who cultivated the sword to the tenth level of the Great Perfection in the Fish and Dragon Realm were able to become sword saints later, it turned out that they integrated the rules of the sword into the martial soul. This alone is not comparable to other sword cultivators. β
The way of the sword is one of the seventy-two supreme holy paths, and the person who can integrate it into the martial soul is naturally quite remarkable, and his future achievements will definitely be quite amazing.
The old woman in red said: "In the Fish and Dragon Realm, comprehending the rules of kendo and integrating into the martial soul just opened a door. In the future, we must continue to persevere in cultivating liΓ n, improve the rules, and add the assistance of some small paths and avenues to become a sword master. For example, the way of sharpness, the way of dexterity, the way of speed. Any kind of trail should not be underestimated. β
"The path of sharpness, although it is only a small path, as long as you can cultivate to an extremely high realm, you may not have the opportunity to become a sword master. It's just that the monk uses the Sharp Dao as the foundation to impact the realm of the Sword Saint, even if he comprehends the Sword Path deeply when he is a half-saint, it will definitely be quite difficult. β
"In the final analysis, any avenue needs the assistance of a small road. Therefore, the more holy path rules a monk has comprehended in the Ichthyosaur Realm, the more benefits he will have in the future. β
Zhang Ruochen nodded, and finally had a certain understanding of the path, the avenue, and the Supreme Holy Dao, so he asked again: "Then time and space, also belong to the Supreme Holy Dao?"
The old woman in red shook her head and said, "Time and space belong to two of the nine 'Ancient Ways'. In addition to this, there are seven eternal paths: Truth, Morality, Origin, Light, Darkness, Destiny, and Nothingness. β
"Time and space build the world we live in. β
"Truth and morality have evolved into thousands of knowledge, scattered between heaven and earth. β
"Light and darkness, derived from life and death, good and evil. β
"Of course, the most powerful of the nine 'Ancient Paths' are 'Fate' and 'Nothingness'. Fate can decide everything, and nothingness can destroy everything. β
The words of the old woman in red are very mysterious, she has completely departed from the martial arts, and even surpassed the holy way, even with Zhang Ruochen's current realm, she only seems to understand it.
The old woman in red seemed to see the doubts in Zhang Ruochen's heart, and said, "Actually, with your current state, it is normal that you can't understand it. The reason why the old body told you the Nine Ancient Ways is only because you have the Divine Martial Mark of Time and Space, and it is very organic to cultivate the rules of time and space. β
"If you can really succeed, you will become the third time-space controller in the history of the Kunlun Realm. It's just that this road will be very difficult for you. β
Zhang Ruochen's expression was solemn, his eyes were firm, and he said: "The younger generation will definitely work hard, even if it is difficult, they will go all out to pursue the eternal way." β
The old woman in red shook her head and said, "Since ancient times, in the Fish and Dragon Realm, there are only a handful of people who can comprehend the Nine Ancient Paths, and each of them is a genius who has passed through the heavens and latitudes. β
"The old body does not mean that you must understand the two eternal ways of time and space, but I hope that you can learn to let go when you can't do it. If you cultivate kendo to the extreme, you can still become a figure who stands up to the sky. β
"Time and space can become two auxiliary paths, and when you reach the realm of the Sage, it is not too late to slowly contemplate it. In this way, your kendo will be even stronger. β
Obviously, the old woman in red didn't think that Zhang Ruochen could comprehend the rules of time and space in the Ichthyosaurus Realm.
Therefore, she was worried that Zhang Ruochen would get into a dead end and be trapped in the Ichthyosaurus realm, and YonguΗn would not be able to reach the realm of a half-saint.
Although Zhang Ruochen had his own thoughts in his heart, he did not refute it, humbly accepted the advice of the old woman in red, and said: "The younger generation remembers the words of his mother-in-law, if it is in the future, he really can't understand the rules of time and space, and he will not deliberately force it." β
