Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5139: Three Great Daos

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The first two Daos were the ones that produced the most Emperors in the universe.

Although Jian Wushuang didn’t know much about the Emperors, based on what he had found in some relics, the stronger the Emperor’s Dao was, the harder it was to improve it.

Although one’s life was infinite, if one’s grasp of the Dao remained stagnant, it would affect one’s state of mind, causing one to fall into madness and collapse.

Many of those who entered the Great Desolate Wilderness were the same.

Many cultivators comprehended a Dao that belonged to them when they were at the Yan Immortal level. In the beginning, they were still ignorant and could not differentiate the levels of the Dao.

However, some powerful factions would nurture their Princes, Saints, and Dao Children to comprehend some high-grade Great Dao, which was a third-grade Dao.

This path was currently the one that most people in the Yan Immortal stage walked. When they were in the Yan Immortal stage, it was also the bottleneck of the vast majority of Heaven’s Favorites. If they advanced to the Grand Yan Immortal stage, then their status and strength would skyrocket.

This was because when one cultivated this Dao to its peak, they would be able to control a middle-grade world and become a tier 3 Emperor.

Tier 3 Emperors were the most influential figures in the universe, controlling a world or establishing a huge power, reaching the peak of power.

This was the pursuit of the majority of geniuses. However, these geniuses were stuck at the Yan Immortal realm on the fourth level and at the eighth level, they were stuck at the Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal stage forever. Many Perfected Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal had lived for countless years and were stuck there. As for those geniuses who were stuck at the Yan Immortal realm, they were either expelled from the sect or they gave up on themselves, their minds destroyed.

Too many outstanding geniuses fell on this path.

If the third-tier path was the ultimate destination for geniuses, then the second-tier path was the goal fought over by the various Princes.

In every era, there were a few dazzling figures, aside from the Zhen Wuyang of the Great Si Region.

When Zhen Wuyang rose, he truly outshone all others.

In the same era, there were still a few people who were comparable to him at the Grand Yan Immortal level. They were all second-grade Great Dao, but those few people were permanently stuck below the Nine Revolutions level and could not even step into the Nine Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal level.

Only Zhen Wuyang’s path was unobstructed all the way, and after becoming an Emperor, he could further advance in a short time, becoming a tier 4 Emperor.

Now that billions of years had passed, Zhen Wuyangs strength had already reached the peak of tier 4, comparable to the Rulers of some higher worlds. If he were to open up another higher world, his strength would increase even more.

The second-grade Dao, when mastered to its peak, could elevate one to the level of a tier 5 Emperor. Countless geniuses had fallen on this path, and despite the accumulation of countless epochs, a few had managed to ascend. However, these Emperors had long departed the original universe, venturing into the mysterious River of Time and Space.

Advancing further within the original universe was simply unrealistic. The remnants and treasures within held little significance for them; there was no need to linger. Within the River of Time and Space, tier 5 Emperors stood at the pinnacle, clashing with peak Emperors from numerous universes was the only way to progress, to vie for supremacy in the cosmos.

This was also the reason why there was only one tier 5 Emperor in the original universe.

Those who comprehended the second-grade Dao were considered exceptional talents, worthy of serious cultivation by major powers. However, practitioners who comprehended the Ultimate Dao were the universe’s darlings.

Not only were major forces eager to nurture them, but the universe itself would bestow various opportunities upon them, granting immense fate energy to those who comprehended the Ultimate Dao. Each practitioner who grasped the Ultimate Dao carried significant cosmic fate energy.

Despite these benefits, there was considerable resistance. The fact that even the supreme cosmic rules refrained from intervening contradicted the rule of balance. Although these rules lacked emotions and were as cold as weapons, they self-adjusted the universe’s balance. To them, those who comprehended the Ultimate Dao were not geniuses but rather pitiable souls toyed with by fate. Hence, the cosmic rules augmented these practitioners’ cosmic fate energy.

Ever since Jian Wushuang had comprehended Ultimate Sword Dao, he had encountered countless opportunities. Naturally, he had obtained the providence from the Supreme Law of the Universe.

From the fourth level of the Ultimate Dao, the ‘Star River Lake Sea; to the fifth level, the ‘Heartsword World’. He had first been saved by the

Heaven-Reaching Buddhist Realm’s Monks, and then he had cultivated the Dao of Heart power. Later, he cultivated the Dao of Heart, an auxiliary path that allowed him to comprehend the perverted Great Dao.

There were records of the Ultimate Dao, but Jian Wushuang had never heard of the Extreme Dao, nor had he heard of the inheritance secret technique he now possessed. A mere Three Revolutions Grand Yan Immortal could display a One Thought Universe, rich with grand paths. Moreover, his mental strength surpassed that of many Emperors.

Jian Wushuang now had three Great Daos in his body.

The farthest advanced was the Ultimate Sword Dao, reaching the fifth level. The second was the Dao of the Heart, which had unknowingly reached the fourth level. The symbiotic relationship between Heart power and Sword

Principle allowed the Ultimate Sword Dao to reach the fifth level, creating the Heartsword World. Consequently, the Ultimate Sword Dao reciprocally enhanced his Heart power, elevating it to the fifth level as well.

The final one was the recently mastered Extreme Dao. Though only at the third level, it could still employ the absurd technique of a One Thought Universe.

This was Jian Wushuangs greatest trump card. The second was the Heartsword World.

Now, with his physical body completely restored from the brink of collapse and his mental and heart strength significantly enhanced, Jian MJushuang speculated that every major crisis tested his mental state and mental strength. As long as he passed safely, these two Great Daos would improve.

However, this was only the first advancement. Jian Wushuang dared not confirm whether it was true. If it were, he would either grow stronger and reach the pinnacle of the universe or face the next crisis.

Once more, Xiang Binyun swung his arm, smashing the giant axe toward the young monk. The blood-colored axe rolled like a dragon, tearing through space, bursting the surrounding cosmic forces. It stormed the young monk like a furious storm.

Under this immense pressure, the young monk remained calm. Yet, the speed of his physical collapse accelerated. By now, half of his cosmic body had burned away. If there were further losses, his strength would decline again, forcing him to self-destruct like his fellow apprentices, exhausting his cosmic body, fighting until the final moment.

Golden runes faintly flickered on the brown staff. The young samanera’s expression changed, and he roared. His eyes widened as he exerted all his cosmic strength, launching his final strike.

However, with half his divine body lost, his strength had significantly waned, and he was unable to fully unleash this strike. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and desperately employed his strongest attack.

Unfortunately, even this formidable strike couldn’t resist Xiang Binyun. Even at his peak state, using this move could only achieve a draw.

“Hmph, break for me!” Xiang Binyun’s internal power surged, and cosmic forces once again flooded into his enormous axe.

Boom!
