"Today, Chang came to pay me a visit." The sonorous voice rang through Star Hall, and before long, Ju Hua felt himself slip into a wondrous state.
The Dao within Star Hall served mainly to guide. Only with a deep foundation could one reap great rewards from coming here.
And the reason Ju Hua had come here at once—and even Yellow-Haired Great Bear had said Star Hall was indeed the best place for him right now—was naturally that he had accumulated a great deal.
The Celestial Immortal Tribulation itself was a tremendous trial for an Earth Immortal. Passing through all its trials naturally made one a powerful Celestial Immortal, but failing did not mean gaining nothing. The tempering of the tribulation did not simply vanish into thin air.
So after failing their tribulations, most Earth Immortals would immediately enter seclusion for a time, racing against the clock to improve themselves.
That was why many Loose Immortals, despite having damaged Earth Immortal Golden Lotuses from failing their tribulations and less-pure magic power than Earth Immortals of the Void Return at the peak, were still somewhat stronger than ordinary Earth Immortals.
The first ten or so volumes of the Star Scroll were of little use to Ju Hua now. They merely helped him sort through things he had already comprehended. The later volumes of the Star Scroll were what could truly benefit him.
But Ju Hua was in no hurry. He read unhurriedly, enunciating each word clearly.
His past insights flowed through his heart, and, without realizing it, Ju Hua examined them with greater depth and care. This was no isolated case; nearly every insight was like that!
The Way of Flowing Water, the first Dao Ju Hua had fully comprehended, surfaced in his heart. He swiftly reviewed all his insights into the Way of Flowing Water, and a flood of thoughts rose within him.
"Flowing water? Water droplets gather to become a stream. So that's how it is!" The thought flashed through Ju Hua's mind.
Boom!
Countless water droplets suddenly appeared in the space around Ju Hua. Every drop seemed to weigh a thousand jun, making even the space tremble faintly.
This was the power drawn forth by the true meaning of the Dao of Dripping Water. It meant that Ju Hua had entered the Dao of Dripping Water!
This was clearly beyond his expectations, but Ju Hua was now immersed in a wondrous state. His whole being was absorbed in it, leaving him no time to stop and think it through.
After the Way of Flowing Water came the Way of Gale. This time, Ju Hua discovered something different within it as well.
"Gale? Speed? It must be!" Countless sparks of insight appeared in Ju Hua's mind. Soon, the space around him began to warp, and the distortion spread farther and farther.
Suddenly, the spatial distortion reached its utmost limit.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth—initial comprehension!
A little while later, the ground around Ju Hua began to quake violently. As the vitality of heaven and earth surged, the barren land quickly grew fertile.
The Dao of Earthly Soil—initial comprehension!
After entering three Great Daos in succession, Ju Hua could no longer focus on anything else. Somewhat stunned, he stopped reading the Star Scroll.
The difficulty of entering a Great Dao was no empty saying!
The Dao of Dripping Water, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and the Dao of Earthly Soil. Those were three whole Great Daos!
Ju Hua had never even heard of anyone entering three Great Daos in such a short time.
Although the three complete Daos he had comprehended long ago had helped him, that did nothing to lessen how difficult it was to enter a Great Dao.
"What on earth is going on? Have I really built up such a deep foundation?" Ju Hua couldn't help asking himself.
Before undergoing the Celestial Immortal Tribulation, he had visited Star Hall once before. Back then, he had exhausted all his previous accumulation. That meant everything he had built up now came from the tempering he had undergone during the Celestial Immortal Tribulation.
As Ju Hua stood there in astonishment, Yellow-Haired Great Bear was watching the situation from the other side.
"This Ju Hua clearly still had such enormous potential, yet he insisted on rushing into the Celestial Immortal Tribulation!" Yellow-Haired Great Bear couldn't help sighing. He didn't think too deeply about it, assuming that the tempering of the Celestial Immortal Tribulation had simply brought out Ju Hua's potential.
Entering three Great Daos in succession was exceedingly rare, but it wasn't impossible!
Ju Hua thought it over for a long while but still couldn't figure out what was happening. Yet entering three Great Daos in succession could only benefit him, not harm him. So he simply stopped dwelling on it and began reading the Star Scroll aloud again.
However, he couldn't interrupt the recitation of the Star Scroll. He had to start from the beginning.
"Today, Chang came to pay me a visit."
The sonorous voice rang through the space once more, and insights into one Dao after another surfaced in Ju Hua's heart.
The Way of Flowing Water, the Dao of Dripping Water, the Way of Gale, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Way of Thick Earth, and the Dao of Earthly Soil!
The insights into the six Daos passed by in an instant. Ju Hua felt that he had grasped something again, but the feeling was faint, so he paid it no mind.
Ju Hua continued reading, and insights into the Way of Rainwater, which had already reached the Domain Realm of the Dao, poured continuously from his heart.
Whoosh!
A light drizzle appeared out of nowhere around Ju Hua. The fine rain fell like threads, looking like jade from a distance.
Suddenly—
The rain spread rapidly. The drizzle abruptly became a violent storm, and when the rain reached its peak, it suddenly vanished without a trace.
He had fully comprehended the Way of Rainwater!
And not long after Ju Hua fully comprehended the entire Way of Rainwater, blazing flames appeared around him, surging like they would tear the sky apart. He had fully comprehended the Way of Blazing Fire, too!
Ju Hua felt as if he were dreaming, yet the wondrous feeling of comprehending one Dao after another made him reluctant to stop.
Ju Hua gathered his thoughts, and the clear sound of his reading continued to echo through the space.
The Great Dao of the Sword was the last Dao Ju Hua had entered before his tribulation, and the only Great Dao he had entered. He wielded an immortal sword; he was a sword immortal!
At that moment, the star corresponding to the Great Dao of the Sword glittered faintly in the sky, while countless new insights flashed through Ju Hua's heart.
Ju Hua had never realized that he was so close to the Dao of the Sword. At that moment, he felt as if he had become one with it.
At a certain moment—
Boom!
A fierce Sword Domain suddenly erupted around Ju Hua, filling the area with sword qi that could tear anything apart. Its surging aura of slaughter made anyone feel awe from the depths of their heart.
"The Dao Domain Realm?!" Yellow-Haired Great Bear, who had been watching the scene all along, couldn't help gaping.
First, Ju Hua had entered three Great Daos in succession. Then, he had fully comprehended two complete Daos one after another. Finally, he had even reached the Dao Domain Realm in the Great Dao of the Sword.
Since when had comprehending the Dao become so easy?
P.S. Don't rush to flame me. First, I've already come up with a reason for this absurd talent, and I'll reveal it later. Second, given Ju Hua's situation, if his talent weren't absurd, he'd probably spend his entire life as a Loose Immortal.
