Few knew that just as the human race was divided between modern methods and ancient methods, the dragon race also had a similar division.
The division between the ancient path and the new path.
The dragon race's "ancient path" was the most mainstream cultivation method of two hundred million years ago. It took the forty-nine paths passed down by immortals as its core, revered those supreme beings who existed only in legend as masters, used heaven and earth as a great furnace, stirred the soul with the heart, sought the stirrings of life, sublimated oneself, and ultimately reached for that great realm which could be seen but never attained.
Compared with the dragon race's cultivation methods of today, these ancient dragon cultivation methods were more kingly, more domineering, brimming with the powerful confidence of "I alone reign supreme," fully displaying the true colors of "the sole overlord of heaven and earth."
The Heavenly Dragon Path was the crystallization of the dragon race's ancient path.
Like the human race's ancient methods, the quality of the dragon race's ancient cultivation methods could also be judged by "how many primordial great paths they encompassed."
For humans, the finest ancient methods could contain three paths and four primordial great paths. Or, like the Emperor-Grade Heaven-Splitting Dao, Mount Luofu Mystic Clarity Palace, and Holy Infant Sect, they contained mutually related primordial great paths such as the Five Virtues of the Primordial and the Five Primordial States—five paths forming one whole.
The Heavenly Dragon Path, the supreme cultivation method of the dragon race's ancient path, contained a full seventeen primordial great paths—the fifteen paths of the Five Virtues of the Primordial, the Five Elements of the Primordial, and the Five Primordial States, as well as the Path of Living Beings and the Path of Fate.
