War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens-Chapter 4685 Old Dao, New Dao

Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, revealing a burst of light as dazzling as the sun and making it difficult for people to look at him directly. As he slowly regained his senses, he nodded and smiled amicably at Jiang Tian Zheng, a strong Dao Merging powerhouse from the Surging River Divine Kingdom. He said, "Thank you for guarding me, senior."

Duan Ling Tian was capable of protecting himself during his breakthrough, but he could sense that Jiang Tian Zheng was guarding him earlier through his Divine Consciousness.

"It's a small matter," Jiang Tian Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "You've broken through into the Dao Merging realm so there's no need for you to address me as 'senior'. We can be considered peers after all. If you don't mind, you can just address me as Brother Jiang."

Duan Ling Tian smiled and said, "Alright, Brother Jiang."

After breaking into the Dao Merging realm, Duan Ling Tian felt that his view of the world had changed. He could now faintly see the Limitless Sword Dao on the horizon. The Limitless Sword Dao was the Dao he had merged; it was an ancient Dao with an intimidating, mysterious, and unpredictable aura. free(w)ebnovel

The Dao that one chose to merge was crucial in determining one's strength. If the Dao was weak, one would naturally be in a disadvantageous position when competing with other Dao Merging powerhouses.

There were also new merged Daos, which meant that the Daos were the first of their kind. The creator of the new Dao would possess strength that surpassed ordinary Dao Merging powerhouses due to the completely new path. The new path allowed for smooth progress, unlike the old paths that countless people had taken, causing them to be worn out. Each time a cultivator followed an old path, the path would take damage.

Dao Merging powerhouses' greatest source of strength was the Dao Merging Energy, which came from the path they had chosen.

Before Duan Ling Tian's breakthrough, he had learned this from the divine monk from the Temple of the Bitter Sea, who was also a Dao Merging powerhouse.

'Surprisingly, there's no change in my internal energy compared to when I was at the ninth Dao Establishment realm. A breakthrough now doesn't guarantee a qualitative change in internal strength. Apart from my Dao, which has grown stronger and will help me face stronger enemies, my soul has changed as well…'

After becoming a Dao Merging powerhouse, one's soul would grow stronger while one's internal energy remained the same. Needless to say, one would also have access to the Dao Merging Energy.

'The paths from old Daos are worn out so the energy they provide is inferior compared to new Daos. However, it's not easy to merge a completely new Dao. Otherwise, there won't be people taking shortcuts all the time…'

People like the two masters of the Life Creation Chart, who chose to comprehend the Sacrificial Dao and sacrifice beings in the chart, were examples of those who took a shortcut. The Sacrificial Dao was rather special among the Daos. Ordinary people would not come across it, let alone comprehend or master it. Only the master of the Life Creation Chart could comprehend the Sacrificial Dao. For this reason, whatever Dao one used to merge with the Sacrificial Dao would create a new Dao.

Apart from that, merging three Daos would also create a new Dao. However, only those who possessed extraordinary innate talent and comprehension skills were capable of merging three Daos. After merging two common Daos, one could still merge a third Dao with it, creating a new Dao. Needless to say, the names of all of those who succeeded in merging three Daos were recorded in history.

'The Limitless Sword Dao is a common Dao comprehended by many in the past… According to the divine monk from the Temple of the Bitter Sea, among the Dao Merging powerhouses in the Divine Land, there were quite a few who comprehended the Limitless Sword Dao,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

At this time, Jiang Hai Shan and Hong Dong Chuan bowed, paying their respect to Duan Ling Tian.

In the Divine Land, after breaking into the Dao Merging realm, one would be considered a top powerhouse. After all, Dao Merging powerhouses were considered invincible. Even a strong Dao Merging powerhouse would not find it easy killing a weaker Dao Merging powerhouse, unless the gap between their strength was extremely big.

For this reason, in a show of respect, people in the Divine Land would use honorifics such as 'Your Excellency' for Dao Merging powerhouses.

Although Hong Dong Chuan had grown familiar with Duan Ling Tian, he was not a close friend of Duan Ling Tian nor did he know Duan Ling Tian for long. For this reason, he adhered to etiquette after Duan Ling Tian became a Dao Merging powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian was naturally aware of this, but he did not comment on it. He only nodded and smiled in response before he fell deep into his thoughts again.

Seeing this, the duo no longer disturbed Duan Ling Tian and fell silent.

As for Jiang Tian Zheng, he stood at the side and waited patiently as he guarded Duan Ling Tian.

Not long after…

"Jiang Tian Zheng!"

A voice rang from the east. It was not loud, but Jiang Tian Zheng, Jiang Hai Shan, and Hong Dong Chuan heard it clearly.

Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses and looked to the east as he extended his Divine Consciousness. He quickly sensed the presence of another Dao Merging powerhouse. Moreover, he was unfamiliar with the other party; the other party was not from the Temple of the Bitter Sea.

In just a moment, a young man flew over and landed in front of Duan Ling Tian. He was handsome, and he was dressed in a cyan robe. He held a fan in his hand, looking graceful.

"Zhou Qing Chuan!" Jiang Tian Zheng looked at Zhou Qing Chuan and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that an apathetic person like you would come to my Surging River Divine Kingdom to join the fun…"
