Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 16 The Division of the Sword Dao Realms of Supreme Immortal Swords

Besides these, there are the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang bestowed by Tongtian.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are all unparalleled divine abilities rarely seen in the primordial world.

When any form of cultivation is practiced to its extreme, one can comprehend the power of the laws.

The power of laws is something that only Great Luo Golden Immortals can begin to comprehend.

This means that each of the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang is a Great Luo Method.

In this era where the law cannot be easily passed on, any leak of any such law can cause a huge uproar.

Countless Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators wanted to seize it.

If Zhao Gongming were still cultivating in Luofu Cave on Mount Emei, he would never have obtained it.

By becoming a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, one can easily acquire such supernatural powers.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are: Manipulating Creation, Reversing Yin and Yang, Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations, and Returning to Heaven and Reversing the Sun.

Each of these supernatural powers was profound and mysterious. Zhao Gongming studied them for a long time before finally choosing three of them.

These are Golden Light Across the Ground, Five Thunders, and Seven Arrows with Nailheads.

The golden light that pierces the ground needs no further explanation; it is the ultimate spatial supernatural power.

Zhao Gongming's origins have already transformed into the illusory Bifeng.

In terms of spatial principles, it has a unique advantage.

Therefore, practicing the Golden Light of the Earth is the best option.

Mastering the Five Thunders is a thunder technique recorded in the Heavenly Divine Powers. It is the most powerful and can subdue all demons and monsters.

Zhao Gongming also cultivated the Shangqing Divine Thunder, which served as a corroboration between them.

As for the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, they are a supernatural power containing the Dao of Curse.

Because his predecessor was cursed to death by Lu Ya Dao Ren using the Seven Arrows of Nailhead technique during the later Investiture of the Gods.

Therefore, Zhao Gongming made a decision early on: no matter what, he must first learn this supernatural power.

If someone curses him in the future, he can use this supernatural power to curse them back.

Having summarized the general things he needed to cultivate next, Zhao Gongming began his cultivation.

In the primordial era, time did not keep track of years; in the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.

For a thousand years, Zhao Gongming diligently cultivated himself, and with the rich Daoist energy spreading from the summit of Kunlun Mountain, his cultivation level soared.

He actually progressed directly from the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm to the late stage.

Just as Zhao Gongming was preparing to make a final push to reach the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Suddenly, a golden bell was rung outside his cave, carrying a series of Taoist chants that entered Zhao Gongming's ears.

Then, I heard the roar of the little black tiger.

"Is the spiritual treasure that Master crafted for me ready?"

Overjoyed, Zhao Gongming disregarded his cultivation, opened his cave dwelling, comforted the little black tiger for a while, and then left the palace.

Beside the palace, the gates of the Sanxiao Palace were tightly closed, and a continuous stream of rich spiritual energy was drawn into the palace.

Clearly, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao were also diligently cultivating.

Zhao Gongming then looked towards the hall not far away, where Duobao, Jinling, and the others were in complete silence, clearly indicating that everyone was engaged in fierce competition.

"Let you roll it up first."

A smile appeared on Zhao Gongming's lips. He was going to Shangqing Palace first to have some special treatment prepared by his master.

In the Shangqing Palace, Tongtian's smile deepened when he saw Zhao Gongming arrive so quickly.

"You arrived quite quickly. How's your cultivation going?"

Tongtian glanced at Zhao Gongming casually, and a huge wave of emotions surged within him.

"You...you've actually cultivated to the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm?"

The Golden Immortal realm, where the five elements converge, is not a simple matter to break through to the next minor realm.

Zhao Gongming's ability to break through two minor realms within a thousand years is nothing short of rocket-like.

"It's all thanks to Master's guidance. Without Master's guidance, I would still be struggling in the early stages of the Golden Immortal realm."

Zhao Gongming chuckled.

"You certainly know how to talk."

Tongtian smiled, and with a thought, a bright silver immortal sword appeared in his hand.

"This is a celestial sword that I forged for you. Take a look and see what you think."

The sword is entirely silver-white, grand and exquisite, with golden patterns shimmering on the hilt, and exudes a very sharp aura.

Even though Zhao Gongming was still far from the immortal sword, he felt a stinging sensation on his skin.

Of course, most importantly, behind the immortal sword, there are thirty-six innate, indestructible spiritual lights, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

This indicates that this immortal sword is at least a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"A top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Teacher, this is too precious."

Zhao Gongming's face showed emotion.

That is an innate, indestructible spiritual light, which only exists in chaos.

Even a quasi-saint like Tongtian wouldn't have much in reserve.

Even so, Tongtian still went ahead and crafted a top-grade innate spiritual treasure for him, which shows how much he valued it.

Tongtian said solemnly, "You are the chief disciple of my Shangqing lineage, bearing a great responsibility. In the future, you will be a role model for your junior brothers and sisters to follow. It is nothing more than a high-grade innate spiritual treasure."

"Yes, teacher."

Zhao Gongming took the immortal sword. As soon as it was in his hand, it began to tremble, trying to fly out of his palm and escape his control.

"They're already in my hands, and they still want to escape? There's no way they'll get away with that."

Zhao Gongming slightly activated the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique, and an immense force surged forth.

The immortal sword let out a mournful cry and immediately became obedient.

"Now that you have the sword, I will teach you the way of the sword."

Tongtian's expression was even more serious than before.

"Do you know how the world judges my swordsmanship?"

"The Primordial Sword Dao is unparalleled in the heavens."

Zhao Gongming offered a timely compliment, though it couldn't really be called a compliment.

My master's swordsmanship is indeed ranked first in the primordial world.

Among the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing has the deepest cultivation and the strongest combat power, which has become a consensus among all cultivators in the prehistoric world.

Hearing his eldest disciple's words, Tongtian felt a surge of satisfaction. He asked, "Do you know the classification of sword dao levels?"

"This disciple does not know."

Zhao Gongming said honestly.

"The cultivation of the Primordial Sword Dao is roughly divided into four levels: Sword Momentum, Sword Intent, Sword Heart, and Sword Dao Laws."

"Ordinary cultivators are generally at the two realms of sword momentum and sword intent."

"Those who can cultivate to the level of Sword Heart are already extremely rare. Many Great Luo Golden Immortals cannot even comprehend this step."

"What about the principles of swordsmanship?"

A look of longing appeared on Zhao Gongming's face.

"The laws of swordsmanship are extremely difficult to comprehend. Even I, your master, only grasped them after hundreds of thousands of years of human transformation. At your current stage, there's no need to get bogged down in the laws of swordsmanship. Focus on understanding the first three realms first."

Tongtian waved his hand, signaling Zhao Gongming not to be overly ambitious.

Are you kidding me? Do you think the laws of swordsmanship are so easy to comprehend?

"Yes, yes, I understand. Please explain further, teacher."

Tongtian nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Zhao Gongming's performance.

He immediately began explaining to Zhao Gongming, "Sword momentum is the great power generated when one wields the sword, connecting with heaven and earth."

As Tongtian explained the way of the sword, the supreme mysteries of the sword art burst forth in the Shangqing Palace, allowing Zhao Gongming to comprehend them.
