Progress and Departure
Zhou Zheng quickly read through the Sword Dao manual that Ji Ning had sent, and finally, Zhou Zheng studied Ji Ning's "Dao".
Zhou Zheng's consciousness entered the bamboo tube, and soon, the phantom of an incomparably sharp sword appeared. Although there was only one sword, in Zhou Zheng's eyes, it transformed into countless swords.
Zhou Zheng saw different kinds of swords in it: some were vast and mighty, some were incredibly fast, some were a perfect blend of yin and yang, some were cold and eerie, and some were extremely defensive. It was hard to imagine that a single sword shadow could present so many different kinds of swords.
Zhou Zheng this world is indeed only at the World Realm Perfection, but his vision goes far beyond that. At this moment, among these countless sword shadows, Zhou Zheng not only saw their characteristics, but also the essence of their perfect combination.
"Now we can be sure that Ji Ning is indeed following the Ultimate Sword Dao!" Zhou Zheng understood.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Zheng had stayed outside the Three Realms for nearly a hundred years.
"That's about it!"
Zhou Zheng had been in seclusion cultivating in the Chaos Star, opened his eyes.
Although the books in the Three Realms Secret Pavilion were quite ordinary for Dao Lord, Zhou Zheng still gained a lot from reading them.
Over the course of a century, he has continuously revised and improved the "Five Scrolls of Space-Time," which has now been transformed into Five Great Techniques: "Space-Time Shuttle Space-Time Annihilation," "Time and Space Travel," "Endless Domain," "Myriad Shadow Illusory Body," and "Infinite Body."
Among them, apart from "Space-Time Annihilation", the "Tao" contained in the other four moves has reached the top level, and the move "Space-Time Annihilation" has even reached the Strongest Dao.
Such progress in just a century is absolutely incredible. Many World Realm Perfection may never be able to comprehend even an ordinary Dao, let alone Top-tier Dao or the Strongest Dao.
It should be noted that the lifespan of the World Realm is already extremely long, usually around 36,000 Chaos Epoch, and a complete Chaos Epoch can typically reach 108 trillion years.
It is conceivable how incredible it is that Zhou Zheng comprehended four Top-tier Dao and one of the strongest Daos so quickly.
But no matter how unbelievable it may seem, it's normal for Zhou Zheng to be like this.
He didn't start cultivating from scratch; he already had a strong foundation in other worlds. Given time and classical texts as references, he was naturally able to break through quickly.
Moreover, Zhou Zheng has not only comprehended the Space-Time Dao over the Past century, but he has actually made greater progress in the Sword Dao.
With Ji Ning's "Dao" as a reference, Zhou Zheng quickly comprehended the two Strongest Dao, both of which were offensive: one was a direct crushing force, and the other was an extreme speed.
The reason why Zhou Zheng has made greater progress in Sword Dao is not because Zhou Zheng has comprehended the two Strongest Dao, but mainly because he has not only comprehended the two Strongest Dao, but more importantly, he has combined them, and the two paths have become a fused Strongest Dao.
This was actually unintentional. Zhou Zheng hadn't originally planned to put too much effort into "Sword Dao." He wanted to focus on "the Ultimate Space-Time Dao," not "the Ultimate Sword Dao."
However, with Ji Ning's "Dao," the resources for Sword Dao cultivation were much better than in the time and space, so he made even greater progress.
Of course, for Zhou Zheng, this difference is nothing, and he will not change his main cultivation direction because of it. When he broke through to the World Realm, he used "space-time" as the foundation, and he will naturally continue to cultivate "space-time" in the future.
The reason he still spends time practicing Sword Dao is that Zhou Zheng has accumulated too much knowledge about "Slaughter" and "Destruction" before, so he doesn't need to put too much effort into practicing Sword Dao, and he naturally practices it as a side practice.
"It's time to leave. I'll head to the Heavenly Cang Palace while continuing to study 'space-time,' striving to elevate the remaining four Top-tier Dao to the level of the Strongest Dao as soon as possible!"
Zhou Zheng made up his mind.
Going to the Heavenly Cang Palace is not only fulfilling Life Oath, but the experiences along the way are also a form of training, which is certainly much better than sitting idly pondering the Strongest Dao.
In the Void beyond the Three Realms, Black-Robed Ji Ning, came out to see Zhou Zheng off.
"Master, the Endless Territory is fraught with danger, please be careful!" Ji Ning said to Zhou Zheng.
"Haha, this time my Second Primordial Spirit will remain outside the Three Realms, so there's nothing to worry about!" Zhou Zheng laughed. "Besides, with the map of the Heavenly Cang Palace you gave me, I won't wander off or be in any danger!"
"Um!"
Ji Ning nodded, and Zhou Zheng didn't say anything more. He simply moved his mind and silently traveled through time and space to leave.
"Hmm?" Ji Ning looked at the spot where Zhou Zheng had disappeared, and was slightly taken aback.
Although he is not good at time and space, he can still see many things with his Sword Dao skills.
"Master made quite a commotion when he approached the Three Realms last time, how come this time?" Ji Ning wondered, fearing that even many Dao Lord couldn't do it so silently.
"Master has already forged his own path so quickly? And at a high level!" This thought flashed through Ji Ning's mind.
On the other side, after leaving the Three Realms, Zhou Zheng followed the safe passage opened up by Ji Ning when he broke through to the Dao Lord, heading towards the Da Mo Domain.
The Chaos Universe is boundless and is composed of countless "domains". The domain where Zhou Zheng is currently located is called the "Yan Long Domain".
The entire "Yan Long Domain" is perceived as an "Endless Territory" by cultivators of insufficient level. The reason is simple: the Yan Long Domain contains countless different territories. The Endless Territory is everything. Even Dao Lord would need to spend a massive amount of time to traverse the Endless Territory, let alone leave the Yan Long Domain.
The Da Mo Domain that Zhou Zheng is heading towards right now is one of the Endless Territory. The Da Mo Domain is the closest territory to the Three Realms, or rather, the Three Realms are located on the edge of the Da Mo Domain.
Zhou Zheng's destination, the "Heavenly Cang Palace," is located in the "Tian Cang Domain," which is extremely far from the Da Mo Domain.
If World Realm were to rely solely on their own flight to reach a nearby territory, it would likely take countless billions of years, and they would also face uncertain dangers along the way.
This is only for adjacent territories. If they are not adjacent, the journey is even more distant, which can only be hopeless for those in the World Realm.
Therefore, the only way to travel to different territories is through the "Space-Time Teleportation Array," but the "Space-Time Teleportation Array" requires Chaos Spiritual Liquid.
The preciousness of Chaos Spiritual Liquid needs no further explanation. When Zhou Zheng first came to this world, it was with the help of a bottle of Chaos Spiritual Liquid that he cultivated the "Eighteen Divine Demons of Taowu," which gave him eighteen clones. Later, he was able to possess the Divine Power of a half-step World God when he was Ancestral God.
Zhou Zheng himself did not have much Chaos Spiritual Liquid, so after arriving in the Da Mo Domain, he did not immediately set off for the "Heavenly Cang Palace", but planned to earn some travel expenses first.
In fact, before setting off, Ji Ning had planned to give Zhou Zheng some Chaos Spiritual Liquid, but Zhou Zheng refused. It wasn't that he was ashamed to take the disciple's resources, but rather that obtaining Chaos Spiritual Liquid wasn't difficult for him.
Zhou Zheng broke through to the World Realm, and his Divine Power became that of a half-step Dao Lord. This divine Divine Power was then transformed into "Azure Flower Power," which was stronger than that of One-step Dao Lord. He had already comprehended the Strongest Dao of fusion in his Sword Dao, and his realm had surpassed that of an ordinary Two-step Dao Lord, and could even rival that of an ordinary Three-step Dao Lord.
With his combined Divine Power and cultivation level, even if he is not as strong as Three-step Dao Lord, he is comparable to an ordinary Two-step Dao Lord.
With such strength, obtaining Chaos Spiritual Liquid is naturally a piece of cake. Moreover, the process of obtaining Chaos Spiritual Liquid is also an experience, which is not without its benefits to cultivation.
