Chapter 1409 - 283: Conclusion

Chapter 1409: Chapter 283: Conclusion

When he saw that boundless rosy glow, Ji Quan was completely stunned.

What did he see?

Laws!

Those were all Laws!

To have cultivated to the peak of the Third Realm of God King, Ji Quan himself had already comprehended one Law to its pinnacle, and thus possessed the qualifications to touch upon Rules.

Normally speaking, even if one were to witness Laws, one wouldn’t be all that shocked.

But there is one point that must be made clear.

The Law one comprehends oneself is only a single strand.

However.

Now in his eyes, within that limitless glow, the Power of Law contained there numbered a full hundred to two hundred strands.

It was hard to imagine.

Just what kind of person could comprehend so many Powers of Law.

After the shock passed.

Ji Quan hurriedly coagulated his Heart, fixing his gaze firmly upon those overflowing Powers of Law, and began to fully delve into them.

The mysteries of Laws.

For an ordinary person to truly grasp a single Law was an exceedingly difficult matter.

Yet now, Shen Changqing had displayed all kinds of Laws completely before everyone’s eyes; for anyone present, this was a heaven-defying stroke of Destiny.

Even compared to the earlier explanations of the Immortal Dao, they were not as powerful as this current manifestation of Laws becoming sacred.

Only to see Dragon Head Mountain within, where the rosy glow spread out.

All present, upon seeing that glow, had their Hearts involuntarily drawn into it.

Aside from a scant few people.

The vast majority here had never recognized the existence of Laws; they only knew that the glow before their eyes was profoundly mysterious, exerting a powerful attraction upon themselves, and beyond that, they had no other sense of it.

In the eyes of cultivators who primarily cultivated the Blade Path, what they could see was the extreme Blade Intent that tore the sky and rent the earth.

In the eyes of cultivators who primarily cultivated the Sword Dao, what they could see was the infinite Sword Intent whose light chilled the entire world.

Not everyone could simultaneously comprehend all Laws; rather, in the eyes of different cultivators, the Powers of Law presented were likewise different.

On the high platform.

Shen Changqing displayed without reservation all the Powers of Law he had comprehended himself.

Although, to the current cultivators of the Human Clan, Laws were somewhat too high in terms of the level of power.

But so long as someone could truly grasp even a small portion of the Power of Law contained within, the battle strength they currently possessed could be enhanced to a certain degree.

This kind of enhancement.

Was not on the Realm, but on the level of battle strength.

Suddenly.

He looked toward one person in the plaza, his gaze shifting slightly: "Laws!"

Within his own line of sight, that person sitting cross-legged there was quite familiar.

Jiang Zuo!

As for this guide of his within the Demon-Subduing Division, Shen Changqing naturally could not fail to recognize him.

From the beginning of the lecture until now.

The other’s strength had steadily remained at the level of Heaven Being Perfection.

But what truly drew his attention was not Jiang Zuo’s Heaven Being Perfection strength, but rather the faint aura of Laws overflowing from the other’s body.

Laws were hard to comprehend.

Only because the strength on this level was too high.

Let alone a mere Heaven Being; even among Divine Realm Powerhouses, those who could comprehend Laws were existences that could be counted on one’s fingers.

Yet.

Shen Changqing now saw on Jiang Zuo’s body the aura of Laws.

That’s right!

The aura of Laws.

This meant that the other had already comprehended strength on the Law Level while still in the Heaven Being Realm.

If so, then this was truly shocking to the world.

However.

Although he was somewhat stunned in his Heart, he did not make any other unusual moves.

The rosy glow steamed and surged.

The vast Dragon Head Mountain was completely immersed in the infinite Powers of Law.

Outside the mountain.

The cultivators gathered there had already begun to leave one after another.

Now that the lecture had ended, no more power was overflowing; if they wished to further comprehend anything, there was no way.

Even so.

The lecture, which had continued for three years, had allowed many people to gain certain harvests.

Basically, every single person had broken through at least one Realm, and some had even broken through two or three Realms.

At the very beginning of the lecture, some people considered their strength insufficient and did not come here.

When the lecture had lasted several months, some low-strength cultivators came trudging over mountains and across rivers.

When the lecture had lasted one or two years, essentially all the cultivators under Heaven had already gathered here.

For a time.

The vast Zhongzhou was packed to overflowing with people.

Because of this.

The Imperial Court had to dispatch large numbers of powerhouses to maintain public order and stability in all regions, preventing those mixed of fish and dragons from taking the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Until now.

With the lecture declared finished, this overcrowded situation was finally truly resolved.

"Reporting to Our Emperor, the cultivators currently gathered in Zhongzhou have already dispersed by two thirds; those remaining are still leaving one after another, and for the moment no major problems have arisen."

Within the Imperial Palace, Wu Gan bowed as he reported.

Upon hearing this.

Gu Xing nodded slightly: "So long as no problems arose. This time Defender Shen lectured for three years, which has allowed the overall strength of my Imperial Court to rise by a whole tier. It’s a pity that opportunities like this are not common."

Though he said so.

He did not truly feel regret.

Three years of lecturing already equaled decades of future growth for the Imperial Court.

Feeling that surging strength within himself, a faint smile rose upon Gu Xing’s face.

Immortal Golden Body Realm Perfection!

Though he esteemed his own status and did not go to Dragon Head Mountain, the sound of the lecture encompassed Heaven and Earth; even while in the Imperial Palace, it was as if he were personally on the scene.

Ever since becoming Human Emperor, with the Human Clan’s destiny enhancement upon him, his strength had been growing at a rather rapid pace.

Now, with another three years of Shen Changqing’s lectures on the Dao, stepping into Immortal Golden Body Realm Perfection was practically a foregone conclusion.

Next.

It was time to begin preparing to assault the Cave Heaven Realm.

Only, entering the Cave Heaven Realm was no easy matter; Gu Xing felt that he still needed a few more years of tempering before he would have the possibility of opening up his hidden storehouse.

Even so.

He was already very satisfied.

A few years was nothing; he could completely afford to wait.

To be able to enter the Cave Heaven Realm was equivalent to the Divine Realm within the Divine Path. By then, his strength as Human Emperor would finally be able to stand upon a proper stage.

Of course.

If he truly compared himself to those peak powerhouses, he would still be far lacking.

——

Another two years passed.

The Laws completely dispersed.

Shen Changqing looked at the crowd present, their hearts all immersed in their own comprehension, none of them having awakened.

At this.

He said nothing, and his figure quietly vanished from the high platform.

Five years of preaching the Dao!

This was already the utmost limit of what he could do.

Lecturing on the Dao was like pulling up seedlings to help them grow; one’s comprehension was, in the end, one’s own. Listening to a lecture once in a while posed no problem, but if one continuously listened, then the path the listener walked would become the lecturer’s path.

In that way, the harm outweighed the benefit.

Upon returning to the Demon-Subduing Division.

Shen Changqing did not go anywhere else, but went straight back to his room to rest.

Five years of preaching the Dao.

Although it had yielded great gains for him, it was likewise an enormous consumption, and he needed some time to replenish himself.

Within Dragon Head Mountain.

Ji Quan awoke from his state of enlightenment, and when he looked toward the high platform, Shen Changqing’s figure was already nowhere to be seen.

He understood.

This round of lectures on the Dao had officially come to an end.

The two subsequent years spent comprehending the Laws had not pushed his Realm to a breakthrough, but the benefits he obtained were even more useful than a mere Realm advancement.

"If I still took the Divine Path as my main path, then by now, I should already be able to formally step into the Fourth Realm of God King!"

Ji Quan sighed inwardly.

To enter the Fourth Realm of God King, one had to truly grasp the power of Rules.

He himself had already been just one step away from the threshold of understanding Rules, and now, with so many of Shen Changqing’s Laws laid out as groundwork, he naturally crossed that step.

It was a pity.

He was now gradually abandoning the Divine Path; even if he comprehended Rules, it was impossible for him to truly step into the Fourth Realm of God King.

However.

Ji Quan did not regret it.

In his view, even if he stepped into the Fourth Realm of God King, so what? That was already the limit of the Divine Path that the Human Clan could tread. Beyond that, there was not the slightest possibility of further advance.

Since the ending had long been predetermined, then forcing it any further held no meaning.

By contrast.

The Immortal Dao had now entered the Cave Heaven Realm. As long as he was given some more time, it would pose no issue at all for him to once again possess strength comparable to the Third Realm of Divine King.

In addition.

Now that he had comprehended Rules, even though his Realm had not broken through, his combat power had already increased.

The only thing troubling Ji Quan now was the issue of longevity.

"Having listened to the Dao for several years, I have more or less comprehended a method to alleviate the conflict between the Immortal Dao and the Divine Path. Next, when impacting the decline, I must raise my Immortal Dao cultivation as much as possible, and thereby completely resolve the problem of longevity."

His gaze was firm.

For him to have reached where he was today, his Dao Heart was naturally extremely resolute.

What remained.

Was to see whether he could truly succeed.

Afterwards.

Ji Quan looked at the others present. Until now, besides himself, there was not yet a second person who had awakened.

He felt no surprise.

After all, the Laws were profound; once the others sank into them, it was not easy to awaken.

If not for his own Realm, he too would not have been able to wake up at this moment.

A few days later.

Wen Tianchou awoke from his state of enlightenment.

"You’re awake."

"Master!"

Following the voice, Wen Tianchou looked over and happened to see Ji Quan.

Although there was still a decaying aura upon the other’s body, compared to several years ago, it had already weakened considerably.

"Congratulations, Master, on proving the Dao to Cave Heaven and taking an important step upon the Immortal Dao!"

His face was full of delight.

Ji Quan’s breakthrough meant that the other had moved one step closer to success.

"Cave Heaven is all; it is but a new beginning. Unless one day I can truly open up a Flesh Cave Heaven, how could that be considered entering the grand hall?"

Ji Quan shook his head slightly.

His breakthrough on the Immortal Dao did not make him feel complacent. Having once been a Divine King Level powerhouse, he naturally possessed the vision he ought to.

Unless he could reach the level of Shen Changqing, there was nothing worth feeling joyous over.

"From this lecture on the Dao, your gains should not be small either."

"If I still took the Divine Path as my main path, I would have the confidence to prove the Dao as a Divine King."

Wen Tianchou nodded and spoke frankly.

He himself was already a Divine Realm Perfection powerhouse, just one step short of a Divine King. Now, having listened to lectures on the Dao for several years, it was no surprise that he had comprehended the path of a Divine King.

Only, after coming into contact with the Immortal Dao, Wen Tianchou had already lost interest in the Divine Path.

His Immortal Dao had now entered the Immortal Golden Body; given some more time to settle, he had confidence that he could enter the Cave Heaven Realm.

As for anything beyond that.

It was not something he should be thinking about right now.
