Chapter 74

If this disciple of mine remains loyal to the Sword Dao, then even I, Tongtian, must worry that Luo Fu might one day become ensnared by the negative effects of power.

To gain power, one must sometimes endure its consequences.

The greater the power, the more profound its impact on the spirit and mind.

"The Sword Dao, standing apart from the Three Thousand Daos, is the Dao of the Sword," said Tongtian slowly.

"Though the Dao of the Sword cannot rival the Daos of Reincarnation, Destruction, Time, or Space, if cultivated to its ultimate extreme, it will not fall short of those great Daos," explained Tongtian Jiaozhu. "But to personally comprehend the Dao of the Sword, one must at least reach the Great Luo Jinxian realm to even touch it. Now, at the Golden Immortal Realm, we merely manipulate the forces of the Daos."

"When the law of the Sword coalesces to a certain degree, you will grasp the power of the Dao."

"The power of the Great Dao is infinite. Even I, as a Saint, have only just begun."

Thus it was.

Tongtian Jiaozhu began from the very beginning, expounding the entire system of the Sword Dao—from its foundational principles to the Sword Daos accessible at the Golden Immortal and even Taiyi Golden Immortal realms.

Of course, Tongtian also spoke of the Great Luo Jinxian and even the Quasi-Saint levels.

But his disciple was only at the Golden Immortal Realm, still a long way from Great Luo Jinxian or Quasi-Saint.

Thus, Tongtian Jiaozhu did not elaborate in great detail.

After all, knowing more is not always better.

Those later-stage knowledge systems could even hinder a cultivator's progress, bringing unnecessary complications.

More importantly, a Golden Immortal could not possibly comprehend the Daoic knowledge of Great Luo Jinxian or Quasi-Saint levels.

For Luo Fu,

this lecture by Tongtian Jiaozhu allowed him to absorb Sword Dao knowledge as if starving and thirsty.

Such knowledge had never existed before.

Even the Sword Dao knowledge previously granted by Tongtian Jiaozhu could not compare.

Not to mention, a Saint's lecture inherently accelerates a being's rapid comprehension and cultivation.

One could say that even a pig, if it listened continuously to a Saint's personal lecture, might well ascend to the Great Luo Jinxian realm.

Of course, no Saint would be so idle as to waste time on a pig.

This was proven by the past lectures of Ancestor Hongjun.

After Ancestor Hongjun's lecture,

the entire Primordial World's beings saw their cultivation levels genuinely rise.

At that time, Ancestor Hongjun was merely a Quasi-Saint—he had not yet merged with the Heavenly Dao.

And now, Tongtian Jiaozhu is a Hunyuan Great Luo.

Not to mention, Tongtian Jiaozhu was giving Luo Fu one-on-one instruction and lecture.

Far superior to Ancestor Hongjun's original lectures.

Precisely because of this,

Luo Fu absorbed every facet of the Sword Dao system with ravenous hunger.

One could say,

at this moment, Luo Fu truly laid a solid foundation for himself.

A Hunyuan Great Luo, fully devoted to guiding you—even Daoist Duobao and the others could never make Tongtian Jiaozhu invest so completely.

At this moment,

Tongtian Jiaozhu regarded Luo Fu not only as his spiritual heir, but also as if he were his own child.

Yes, his own child.

He wished to give his child the very best.

This was precisely Tongtian Jiaozhu's thought at this moment—he longed to impart every single thing he knew to Luo Fu.

Fortunately, Tongtian Jiaozhu knew Luo Fu was only at the Golden Immortal Realm, and did not force-feed him later knowledge.

Otherwise, even with maximum comprehension, Luo Fu could not possibly comprehend those Great Dao truths without sufficient cultivation.

That would inevitably affect Luo Fu's future development.

Yet, due to his maximum comprehension, Luo Fu would not suffer the same detrimental impact on his future as other Primordial World beings.

Thus, one was willing to teach, and one was willing to learn.

And what astonished Tongtian Jiaozhu was that, for his beloved disciple, whatever he explained, Luo Fu nearly instantly understood.

He could even extrapolate from one example to many.

This left Tongtian Jiaozhu stunned.

Such comprehension of the Dao—perhaps even Saints themselves could not surpass it.

But Luo Fu was only a Golden Immortal, a world apart from the Saints.

If Luo Fu ever became a Hunyuan Great Luo, how terrifying would he become?

While Luo Fu was immersed in cultivation,

in the world of Xiao Ao Jiang Hu where Lin Pingzhi resided, a strange change occurred.
