Chapter 931: Chapter 556 A Different Path_2

The immature Sword Dao of the Land of the Forsaken Husk was originally unable to reclaim the Dao of the Sword Immortal.

But just now, the unforeseen had already happened.

The Sword Immortal no longer had the ability to suppress the Sword Dao, let alone devour it.

He was cast aside by the Sword Dao.

Furthermore, the Sword Immortal could no longer hold onto the sword in his hand; with a mournful cry, the sword fell directly into the Sword Realm.

This left the Sword Immortal staring at his own hand in a daze, somewhat at a loss.

"The Primordial Chaos Martial Ancestor once said something!"

"The Dao exists because of people, born from the heart, as long as the heart is alive, the Dao remains!"

When Tong Tian uttered this sentence, many powerful beings were shocked as if struck by lightning.

The true meaning concealed within this phrase was something they could not digest immediately.

This sentence also deepened their understanding of the Dao.

"As long as the heart is alive, the Dao remains! So if the heart dies, the Dao is extinguished!"

He Yuan exhaled a long breath, a glint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

"As long as the heart is alive, the Dao remains. This idea seems to differ somewhat from what Master taught us back then!" Qing Lan murmured, also pondering the true meaning.

The Grand Dao had previously taught them that what cultivators must do is to master the Dao.

Cultivation itself is about seizing fortuitous opportunities, defying the heavens; to progress and grow, one must master the Dao!

One must conquer the Dao!

We cultivators cannot stand beneath others!

But the philosophy revealed in Tong Tian’s words wasn’t about mastering, but... nurturing the Dao!

To coexist with the Dao, to grow together with it!

Obviously, the World Supreme followed the path of mastering the Dao, wishing to conquer the Dao with human strength.

"This is wrong, this is wrong! Could it be that the old man’s philosophy was wrong? Is it possible he’s incorrect?

No, it’s not right; if his philosophy was wrong, how did he manage to break through into the realm of the Grand Dao? Was the Chaos Martial Ancestor mistaken? But what the Chaos Martial Ancestor said was also correct!"

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning, although not acting, had been watching the battle, constantly observing the movements in the Sword Realm.

Watching the World Supreme make a move, he was also startled.

Frankly speaking, if it came down to a real fight, he feared there wouldn’t be any chance of winning.

Moreover, the Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning felt that if it weren’t for that item on him, he might have already been eliminated.

Now he was extremely conflicted.

Between mastering and nurturing the Dao arose an incredibly strong divergence.

Because both are foundational to the Grand Dao, having chosen the path of mastering, if he couldn’t fully understand, his path might just end there.

The Ancestor of the Primordial Beginning felt a bit regretful; had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have watched this spectacle.

"Mastering the Dao, nurturing the Dao, which one is truly invaluable? The method of mastering the Dao is a widely spread technique among the few great chaos, countless strong practitioners use this as a cornerstone, even the Grand Dao promotes this approach, it cannot be wrong!"

"But the method of nurturing the Dao also has signs to follow, equally not wrong..."

"Yet these two fundamental approaches are evidently at odds with each other!"

Those Supremes watching the spectacle also didn’t feel well, each one plunged into thought, their Dao hearts strongly impacted.

But those beneath the level of 2990 Dao Divine Patterns, each felt what Tong Tian said made sense.

They had none of these worries.

Only those who entered the 2990 Dao Divine Patterns reached a certain understanding of the Dao, which is also the worry of the strong.

However, those in the Sword Realm wouldn’t get tangled up in thoughts of mastering or nurturing the Dao, they only knew Tong Tian stopped the Sword Immortal, and that the Sword Immortal had already been cast aside by the Sword Dao, even the sword had left him.

The sword cultivators saw this and felt not an ounce of joy.

What existed was boundless sorrow and anger!

They were angry, at the World Supreme, for destroying the Sword Immortal, their anger could not even be vented.

At this moment, the Sword Immortal seemed to briefly regain his senses, looked at Tong Tian, looked at the cultivators of the Sword Realm, and sighed: "I was wrong!"

Behind him, images began to appear.

Many of the images repeated what was seen on the sword peak.

And when the Sword Immortal amazed the realms with his sword, he became lost; he was at the pinnacle of sword cultivators in the Land of the Forsaken Husk, and he had no direction left until a silhouette emerged before him.

"Do you know what the ultimate Sword Dao is?"

What appeared before the Sword Immortal was none other than the World Supreme.

Before the Sword Immortal, the World Supreme casually waved his hand, and the surging Sword Intent left the Sword Immortal with gleaming eyes.

He knew, that even if he exhausted all efforts, he couldn’t unleash this strike.

He was very certain!

Yet the person before him could do it effortlessly.

An expert, a master of the Sword Dao.

Soon, the World Supreme revealed his intention to take the Sword Immortal as a disciple, the Sword Immortal was ecstatic, pledging to him and studying the Sword Dao.

Only in the course of time, at regular intervals, wisps of gray mist infiltrated the Sword Immortal’s body.

Witnessing this scene, countless sword cultivators were indignant, shouting, but unable to change anything of the past.

"The Dao Sovereign buried our realms’ most dazzling sword prodigy!"

Some Supreme beings lamented.

They too were a selfish group, but seeing the Sword Immortal’s plight, they felt a pang of empathy.

And at the moment in the imagery when the Sword Immortal admitted his fault.

The present Sword Immortal kneels down smoothly, full of apology and remorse within his eyes.

He saluted Tong Tian: "Thank you for completing this!"

Tong Tian was silent, he knew, this man was about to perish.

Tong Tian once trained on the sword peak, his Sword Dao drew upon the strengths of many schools.

Back then, the Sword Immortal’s Sword Dao, provided him immense aid.

In a certain way, several Sword Masters of the Sword Realm were his teachers.

Especially the Sword Immortal who had the deepest influence on him.

And countless sword cultivators, watched as the Sword Immortal faded away, their hearts feeling an utmost wrench.

Yet they knew, with too little strength, they could do nothing.

"My sins cannot be washed away forever; now, with my body, I will renew the realms’ Sword Dao. With my strength, enlighten sword cultivators’ true nature!" The Sword Immortal spoke in a placid tone.

Yet it was assertive.

He wished to seize the Sword Dao and was an enemy to it.

Now his body could no longer command the Sword Dao, and even his spirit remained under the World Supreme’s control.

The Sword Immortal no longer wished to live in the world.

"Do you think you can die, just because you want to?" Just as the Sword Immortal was about to complete the Sword Dao with his being, a voice sounded.

World Supreme!

The mastermind behind this finally revealed his true face.

The Sword Immortal was an extremely important pawn to him; he counted on the Sword Immortal to devour the Sword Dao, to possess immense combat strength, serving his purpose.

But now, it’s all ruined.

Yet this didn’t mean the World Supreme was willing to abandon the Sword Immortal, willing to watch him die, and completely liberate him.

This, was impossible!

The World Supreme appeared, the Divine Gate in his hand began to pulsate.

Behind him, dots of light started to illuminate.

Creating a vast Star Map.

If observed closely, it would be found that the Star Map actually depicted the Myriad Realms, those dots were worlds.

Meanwhile, within the Star Map, one dot continuously expanded, pulsating!

Sword Realm!

The World Supreme’s methods covered the entire heavens, all worlds were in his grasp.

The Sword Realm, being one of his key deployments, was among them.

"Boom!!"

As the dots pulsated, the Sword Realm began to undergo a continuous upheaval, amidst shaking, mighty power erupted forth.

At this moment, within the Sword Realm, countless swords were wailing in unison, as if the Sword Realm itself was calling forth its lament.

The sword cultivators felt a pain surge from their hearts.

"No good, that old thief wants to detonate the Sword Realm!!!" Ling Tian’s expression changed dramatically.

The Sword Realm’s disturbance reclaimed the Sword Immortal’s Dao with its own strength.

But that didn’t mean that the Sword Dao had won; the World Supreme had more cards up his sleeve.

As the foundation of the Sword Dao, if the Sword Realm were to collapse, then the Sword Dao would suffer severe damage.

Though devouring the heavily damaged Sword Dao would cause the Sword Immortal’s strength to fall far below what the World Supreme had originally planned, but at this point, even a partial devour is preferable, otherwise all his efforts would end in vain.
