God Emperor

Immediately, Zhang Ruochen meditated cross-legged, sitting six feet away opposite 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 elegant, the old woman in red nodded and said: "Your cultivation has reached the eighth transformation of fish and dragon. I believe you will soon begin to comprehend the Holy Spirit." Tao. So, what is the essence of the Holy Tao?”

"Some people say that the holy way is to constantly seek knowledge, keep learning, and keep exploring, so that one's own knowledge becomes more profound. In the end, understanding everything in the world makes the spiritual energy reach a transcendent state. For example, spiritual monks and Confucianism A monk of the Tao.”

"Some people also say that the holy way is a kind of rule. For example, when the sun shines on the leaves, it will leave a shadow on the ground, which is a rule; when water flows from high to low, it is also a rule. kind of rules.”

"Human beings understand the first rule, and then they know that they can hide under the shade of trees to enjoy the coolness. Human beings understand the second rule, and they know that they can travel thousands of miles by going down the river."

"It's just that these are the most basic rules in nature. As long as they are intelligent creatures, they can easily detect and understand them. This enhances their ability to adapt to the environment and do some incredible things."

"The rules of the holy way are even more mysterious. Most people cannot detect their existence at all. Only by continuous learning and understanding can monks understand them and become semi-saints and saints."

"The Way of the Sword is a type of the Holy Way, representing the sharpest aspect of the Holy Way."

"Of course, the natural way, the holy way, the sword way, and even the mysterious way of time and space are actually the way of heaven."

…

…………

The sermon of the old woman in red lasted for nine days and nine nights. It not only included the way of swordsmanship and the natural way, but also explained some principles about space and time to Zhang Ruochen.

Considering her cultivation and age, her own knowledge is certainly quite profound. The things explained cover everything from astronomy and geography to all living beings.

The old woman in red is like the incarnation of heaven and earth, and she can be said to know everything.

Even though she is not a descendant of time and space, her understanding of space and time far surpasses that of Zhang Ruochen, making it beyond the reach of Zhang Ruochen.

Some of the things she explained opened a new door for Zhang Ruochen, like an enlightenment, which made Zhang Ruochen's heart clearer and his view of everything gradually became clearer.

Zhang Ruochen absorbed Qi Hong's swordsmanship knowledge and holy knowledge. He was still a little confused at first and couldn't understand many things. Until now, he felt that he was about to understand everything.

"Wow!"

A beam of light shot out above Zhang Ruochen's head.

The next moment, his martial soul condensed in the beam of light and took on a human form, which looked exactly like Zhang Ruochen.

At the same time, the first rule of the Holy Path continued to condense, and finally took on a form, like a very thin light, integrated with the martial spirit.

Immediately afterwards, the second rules of the Holy Path, the third rules of the Holy Path... were condensed one after another, like spider threads.

I don't know how much time passed before Zhang Ruochen's martial soul stabilized and condensed a total of thirteen rules of the Holy Path.

The old woman in red nodded and said: "With just the cultivation level of the eighth fish-dragon transformation, you can condense the thirteen rules of the holy path, which is already quite good."

Considering the realm of the old woman in red, being able to make her say the word "not bad" is already a very high praise.

You know, if the ninth fish-dragon transformation monk can condense the twelve rules of the holy way, he can already attack the semi-saint realm.

However, a true pride of heaven, even if he condenses the twelve rules of the holy way, will not break through easily. Instead, he will continue to comprehend and accumulate, and strive to condense more rules of the holy way.

Why do this?

The rules of the twelve holy paths have been integrated with the monk's holy soul, which is the twelve holy paths of the monk. Even if a semi-saint understands the rules of the thirteenth holy path, he cannot integrate into the holy soul.

Because once they break through to the semi-saint realm, the monk's holy soul will be completely formed and become stable, unable to continue to integrate the rules of the holy way. At that time, the rules of the holy way that have been comprehended can only become an auxiliary to oneself.

Semi-saints can only continue to perfect the rules of the twelve holy paths, or choose one of the rules of the holy path as a master and practice it to the extreme in order to become a saint.

However, the more rules of the holy way are integrated into the holy soul, the power of the holy soul will definitely be stronger and more comprehensive, which will have infinite benefits for future cultivation.

The old woman in red continued: "Between heaven and earth, there are nine kinds of 'Eternal Ways', seventy-two kinds of 'Supreme Holy Ways', three thousand kinds of 'Great Ways', and one hundred thousand kinds of 'Little Ways'."

"In the Fish-Dragon Realm, the stronger the rules of the Holy Way are integrated into the Holy Soul, and the more rules of the Holy Way are integrated, the higher the future achievements will definitely be."

"Now, the thirteen rules of the Holy Path that you have condensed are all just small paths. If you break through to the semi-Saint realm now, then your relatively good seedling will be completely useless."

Obviously, the old woman in red was reminding Zhang Ruochen to prevent him from being too utilitarian and destroying himself.

Zhang Ruochen asked: "I dare to ask my mother-in-law, how can I cultivate the great way, the supreme holy way, and the eternal way?"

The red-desired old woman seemed very patient and said: "The small path is easy to achieve, but the high road is difficult to cultivate. The supreme enlightenment is unparalleled in the world."

"Any of the three thousand great ways is quite mysterious. Only geniuses with extremely high comprehension have the opportunity to cultivate the rules of the holy way of a great way in the Fish Dragon Realm."

"As for the seventy-two supreme holy ways, it is even more extraordinary. Being able to comprehend one of them is enough to benefit one's life."

"For example, the sword way is one of the seventy-two supreme holy ways."

"However, the cultivators in the Fish Dragon Realm can only have the opportunity to condense the sword way rules after cultivating the sword one to the tenth level of perfection."

Zhang Ruochen suddenly realized and said, "No wonder most of the cultivators who cultivated the sword one to the tenth level of perfection in the Fish Dragon Realm can become sword saints later. It turns out that they have integrated the sword way rules into their martial souls. This alone is not comparable to other sword cultivators."

The sword way is one of the seventy-two supreme holy ways. Those who can integrate it into their martial souls are naturally quite remarkable, and their future achievements will definitely be quite amazing.

The old woman in red said: "In the Fish-Dragon Realm, comprehending the rules of the sword and integrating it into the martial spirit is just opening a door. In the future, you must continue to practice unremittingly, perfect the rules, and add some minor and major paths to help you have a chance to become a sword saint. For example, the path of sharpness, the path of dexterity, and the path of speed. Any minor path should not be underestimated."

"Although the sharp path is only a minor path, as long as you can practice it to a very high level, you may not have no chance to become a sword saint. However, if a cultivator uses the sharp path as a foundation to impact the realm of a sword saint, even if he has a deeper understanding of the sword at the time of the semi-saint, it will definitely be quite difficult."

"In the final analysis, any major path needs the assistance of minor paths. Therefore, the more saintly rules a cultivator comprehends in the Fish-Dragon Realm, the more benefits he will get in the future."

Zhang Ruochen nodded, and finally gave his opinion on the minor path, the major path, and the supreme path. After gaining a certain understanding of the Holy Way, she asked again, "Then do time and space also belong to the Supreme Holy Way?"

The old woman in red shook her head and said, "Time and space are two of the nine 'eternal ways'. In addition, there are seven other eternal ways, namely: truth, morality, origin, light, darkness, destiny, and nothingness."

"Time and space build the world we live in."

"Truth and morality have evolved into thousands of knowledge, scattered between heaven and earth."

"Light and darkness have evolved into life and death, good and evil."

"Of course, the most powerful of the nine 'eternal ways' are 'destiny' and 'nothingness'. Destiny can determine everything, and nothingness can destroy everything."

The words of the old woman in red were very profound, completely out of the martial arts, and even beyond the Holy Way. Even with Zhang Ruochen's current realm, he only vaguely understood.

The old woman in red seemed to see Zhang Ruochen's doubts and said, "In fact, it is normal that you cannot understand it at your current level. The reason why I told you the nine ancient ways is because you have the mark of the divine martial arts of time and space, and you have a good chance to cultivate the rules of time and space." "If you can really succeed, you will have a chance to become the third time and space controller in the history of Kunlun Realm. However, this road will be very difficult for you." Zhang Ruochen looked solemn and determined, and said, "Junior will definitely work hard. No matter how difficult it is, I will go all out to pursue the ancient ways." The old woman in red shook her head and said: "Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of people in the Fish-Dragon Realm who have been able to comprehend the nine eternal ways, and each of them is a genius who can make the world go round."

"I am not asking you to comprehend the two eternal ways of time and space, but I hope that you can learn to give up when you cannot do it. If you practice the sword to the extreme, you can still become a man of great stature."

"Time and space can be two auxiliary ways. When you reach the Saint Realm, it is not too late to comprehend them slowly. In this way, your sword will be even more powerful."

Obviously, the old woman in red did not think that Zhang Ruochen could comprehend the rules of time and space in the Fish-Dragon Realm.

So, she was worried that Zhang Ruochen would get into a dead end and be trapped in the Fish-Dragon Realm, and would never reach the realm of a semi-saint.

Although Zhang Ruochen had his own ideas in his mind, he did not refute them. He humbly accepted the advice of the old woman in red and said, "I will remember what my grandmother said. If I cannot comprehend the rules of time and space in the future, I will not force it deliberately."
