Chapter 63: The Trial of Saint Tongtian! The Hope of the Primordial Chaos
Saint Tongtian primarily excels in three areas.
But he also has Daoist Duobao and others focus on one specific area, treating other paths of cultivation as merely auxiliary.
So now Saint Tongtian also requires Luo Fu to choose a primary path of cultivation.
Even he, Saint Tongtian, before becoming a Heaven Dao Saint, primarily cultivated the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Dao of the Sword; the Dao of Arrays was only deeply studied after he became a Saint.
Even then, Saint Tongtian found his cultivation immensely difficult.
As for achieving the Primordial Chaos Great Luo Dao, like Saint Tongtian and others, they relied largely on Heaven Dao merit to finally succeed.
"Which path to cultivate?" Luo Fu's eyes gleamed. "Master, I wish to cultivate them all…"
"No, I even wish to cultivate a little of paths like the Dao of Strength."
That's right.
Cultivating them all—that was Luo Fu's decision.
Without max-level comprehension, Luo Fu's growth would be like Daoist Duobao's and others, even worse than those primordial lifeforms.
After all, Luo Fu is merely the product of Saint Nüwa's creation of humanity.
There remains a vast gap between him and the primordial deities.
This is evident from Luo Fu's status in the Jie Sect before he transmigrated.
He was merely an ordinary disciple of the Jie Sect.
Though humanity today in the Primordial Chaos holds some uniqueness, it is only that.
In terms of strength, not now, but even in the future, after humanity becomes the dominant force of Heaven and Earth, human strong ones remain exceedingly rare.
Though Luo Fu is, in today's humanity, a true ancestor.
But only after the later decline of the Wu and Yao, when humanity's destiny fully converged, did human strong ones begin to emerge in greater numbers.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors—those were all human strong ones.
Conversely, among the true primordial ancestors of humanity created by Nüwa, Xuan Du, the eldest disciple of the Human Sect, was truly among the very first human strong ones.
Thus, the original Luo Fu, as a human, was utterly ordinary in the Jie Sect.
In the future.
Without incident, Luo Fu might one day be killed by a powerful being during a journey through the Primordial Chaos.
Though he became a disciple of the Jie Sect, that does not mean Saint Tongtian protects every Jie Sect disciple.
Each person has their own destiny and fortune.
Life or death—that is their own choice.
Moreover, the Jie Sect has too many disciples; Saint Tongtian naturally cannot protect each one.
He is not their nanny.
Of course.
If his own direct disciple faced peril, Saint Tongtian's response would likely be entirely different.
"Cultivate every path?" Saint Tongtian gazed deeply at Luo Fu.
If anyone else had said this—even Daoist Duobao, his eldest disciple—Saint Tongtian would have scolded them harshly.
Such a notion is utterly unrealistic.
It would waste immense time.
But his newly accepted fifth direct disciple—Saint Tongtian felt no such thought.
Instead, a thought flickered in Saint Tongtian's mind: Could his disciple truly succeed?
Of course, in the past, Saint Tongtian would have deemed such an idea absurd.
Now, however, he considered it possible under certain circumstances.
"Fine." Saint Tongtian smiled faintly. "Luo Fu, but before that, you must pass my trial."
"Soon, I will set up an array and impart to you the relevant sword Dao knowledge." Saint Tongtian said. "If you can break through the array within ten days, I will grant your request."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Saint Tongtian's finger pointed forward.
Infinite sword qi ravaged the heavens and earth, and soon, a Minor Thousand World appeared before them.
Luo Fu sensed the terrifying sword qi contained within this Minor Thousand World.
Even with his Jin Xian strength, he felt his scalp go numb in an instant.
"And here is the sword Dao knowledge needed to break this sword domain." Saint Tongtian said, releasing another light point from his hand that shot toward Luo Fu.
Luo Fu did not dodge; his master, a Heaven Dao Saint, had no reason to harm him.
As the light merged into his forehead, countless sword Dao knowledge surfaced.
This sword Dao knowledge was far more mysterious and complex than before.
"Break through the array within ten days." Luo Fu nodded. "Master, I understand."
Without hesitation, Luo Fu stepped forward and entered the array.
Though called an array, this structure resembled a world more than anything else.
This further revealed the terrifying power of Saint Tongtian.
To open a world at will—this must be the might of a Saint.
"Luo Fu." Saint Tongtian watched Luo Fu vanish before his eyes, his gaze filled with complex light.
Breaking through this array in ten days was nearly impossible.
Even Daoist Duobao today would need at least a month to break through it.
And Daoist Duobao today is far stronger than Luo Fu.
Not to mention.
Luo Fu had only just recently broken through to become a Jin Xian.
Whether in the level of Jin Xian or in related knowledge, there was a vast gap compared to Daoist Duobao.
Even Daoist Duobao now could not possibly complete this task of his.
So how could Luo Fu complete it now?
Reality told Saint Tongtian that completing it within ten days was utterly impossible.
But Luo Fu's earlier performance had cast a question mark over this reality.
"Luo Fu, if you truly can break through the formation within ten days, I will surely cultivate you properly, making you the true…," Saint Tongtian whispered.
The first person in this world.
