"This way, I can control the three ways!"
Xiao Shi's heart was burning with passion.
His situation is unique in any era!
However, Daozu gave him a solemn warning.
It means that he can control three kinds of Tao.
But these three paths must be a lower mortal path, a higher mortal path, and a heavenly path.
Even if Xiao Shi has the ability to control the three kinds of heavenly ways.
It is also impossible to control the three heavenly ways at the same time.
The other two paths must be the superior mortal path and the inferior mortal path.
And since Xiao Shi is able to control the three kinds of Dao, his way of controlling the Dao will be somewhat different from that of others.
As for the other "disciples", the Taoist Patriarch let them first master the mortal way with their own different ways of mastering the Tao.
Then, by tapping into the potential of the mortal way, one can gradually advance to the heavenly way.
But Xiao Shi was able to master the three ways.
This method obviously doesn't suit him.
To this.
The advice given by Daozu is.
"No matter what, the Killing Palm is the most suitable palm method for you. You can first use the Killing Palm to control one type of killing, or control three types of killing at once, and then decide which one to use as the Heavenly Dao and which one to use as the superior mortal Dao based on the situation of these three types of Dao. This is the simplest way."
“Of course, if you feel that one killing-type Dao is enough, and you don’t want the other two types of Dao anymore, then after you master one Dao with the killing-type Dao, you can try to master the other types of Dao in other ways, but this will be very difficult.”
Xiao Shi nodded.
He knows that the way of grasping the Dao often directly determines the category of the Dao.
For example, if one practices Dao by killing, the Dao that one practices will usually be of the killing category.
It is impossible to control the Dao through killing and then end up controlling the Dao of cause and effect.
"I think one way of killing is enough."
Xiao Shi said.
Although the path of killing suits him very well.
But Xiao Shi felt that if the three kinds of Tao were of the same category, there would be some duplication, which was unnecessary.
Since I have the opportunity to control the three paths.
Naturally, the one who masters three different types of Dao will achieve the greatest improvement.
However, the difficulty will also become extremely huge.
Xiao Shi knew that the best way for him was to go through three resets here.
Each reset selects a different identity, thus having a different way of holding the Dao.
This is the easiest way to master the three different categories of Tao.
It's a pity that he doesn't have so much time.
You must successfully take control of the Dao and leave the initial martial arts era before this reset.
So that's it.
If you want to control the other two different types of Dao, you have to choose other ways of controlling the Dao.
"If it doesn't work, then I'd better choose the other two palm methods, namely, meditation and formation palm method..."
These two palm techniques are the most suitable for Xiao Shi besides the killing palm technique.
Xiao Shi decided to take things one step at a time.
Anyway.
First, complete the control of the Tao through killing.
that's all.
After the Taoist Ancestor opened the door to Taoism for Xiao Shi and gave some advice and instructions.
Xiao Shi, like everyone else, left the valley and went out to take charge of the Dao.
The valley where they were located was like a secluded place in the early martial arts era and had never had any contact with the outside world.
Even those high-level figures in the early martial arts era did not know that such a secluded place existed in the early martial arts era.
After all, he is the ancestor of Taoism.
As long as he didn't want to be disturbed, no one would know of his existence.
Compared to other people.
Xiao Shi’s biggest disadvantage here is undoubtedly his unfamiliarity with the entire early martial arts era.
Everyone else has at least experienced a reset here, and they are very familiar with the forces and strong men in the initial martial arts era.
Even for someone like the Taoist Master with Silver Hair and Silver Boy who has experienced eight resets, he even knows what will happen in the next three hundred years.
After all, every reset will make everyone's memory of the early martial arts era go back to three hundred years ago. Basically, it is difficult for anything that happened in these three hundred years to change much.
Unless these outsiders triggered some chain reactions.
However, the changes brought about by this chain reaction usually only appear in the next one or two hundred years.
In the first hundred years, there will be basically no major changes.
This is also the biggest advantage possessed by the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy.
He knows where the future is headed!
And Xiao Shi is a newcomer.
First of all, it takes a lot of time to master the information and intelligence of the early martial arts era.
If this is the Tianwu Continent.
As the master of Tianji Palace, he doesn't have to worry about intelligence issues.
But in the early martial arts era, the Tianji Palace did not exist yet.
It was difficult for him to gather information and intelligence quickly.
But when he just walked out of the valley.
He found that the Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy was leaning against a stone with his hands folded, looking at him with a smile.
It seemed like she had been waiting for him here for a long time.
Xiao Shi knew it without even thinking about it.
The other party obviously stayed here on purpose, preparing to tell me the information and intelligence of the early martial arts era.
He knew clearly what he needed most right now.
He intends to tell himself the information and intelligence of the early martial arts era, so as to expand the good results that he had planted in himself earlier.
Before that.
The Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy actually had no such plan.
The reason for this decision.
This was mainly because of Daozu’s evaluation of Xiao Shi and his final move of keeping Xiao Shi.
Although he didn't know why Daozu left Xiao Shi behind in the end.
But as the person who has reset the most times here, he knows that Daozu's action must have an unusual meaning.
This made him decide to increase his "investment" in Xiao Shi and show more goodwill.
Generally speaking, the more good deeds one does in a person with greater potential, the greater the rewards he will receive.
Originally, after Xiao Shi chose the identity of the Killing Master.
He was no longer optimistic about Xiao Shi.
But then Daozu’s evaluation and final actions.
Made him change his mind.
I think Xiao Shi might have a chance to master the art of killing.
For him anyway.
There will be no loss in such an investment.
This is his way!
Naturally, Xiao Shi would not refuse the kindness of the Silver-haired and Silver-boy Taoist Master.
He was very happy to see the other party's help.
This kind of help, which came at no cost, made him feel the joy of getting something for free.
The most important thing is, it can save you a lot of time.
Although there are still three hundred years until the next reset, it seems a long time.
But now Xiao Shi not only has to master one kind of Dao, but has to master three different types of Dao.
The pressure is much greater than before.
It also takes more time.
Naturally, we should save as much as possible.
Immediately.
The Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy began to tell Xiao Shi everything about the situation in the early martial arts era, as well as the powerful forces and so on.
Relative to the Tianwu Continent.
The biggest difference in the early martial arts era is that the forces here are under absolute rule.
Although there are five upper countries and twelve lower countries here.
But these seventeen countries all belonged to the Wu Dynasty.
The rulers of the five great countries are five demigods.
The rulers of the twelve lower kingdoms are the twelve Taoist masters.
The Taoist master of the silver-haired and silver-boy knew that Xiao Shi's killing strategy was mainly to kill saints, so he told Xiao Shi the specific information about the saints in these seventeen countries.
"Whether it is the five great superior countries or the twelve inferior countries, there are saints."
"But once you attack these saints, the Dao Lords and Demigods in their country will immediately sense it."
"Although there is a certain degree of competition between these countries, it is all healthy competition."
"When faced with a strong enemy, they will definitely choose to unite against the enemy."
"The most important thing is that these strong men will protect each other. Even if you have the power to kill the Lord of the Lower Country, the demigods in the Upper Country will not sit idly by."
"And if you go and kill a demigod..."
"Then the strongest person in the ninth realm of martial arts in the Wu Dynasty will definitely take action to destroy you."
After hearing this, Xiao Shi frowned deeply.
It is clear that these powerful people in the upper three realms of the initial martial arts era are generally very united.
The Lord of Tao protects the saint.
The demigod protects the Taoist master.
The strongest person at the ninth level of martial arts also protects a demigod.
Under this layer of protection.
There is absolutely no breakthrough.
Most importantly…
This is not an era of warlords fighting for power and each ruling their own territories.
Under this absolute rule, even competition between them is healthy competition.
Even if one wants to start a war secretly, it will be difficult to achieve.
This is where it gets tricky.
"Don't these saints or Dao masters have any grudges against each other?"
Xiao Shi asked with a frown.
The Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy understood what Xiao Shi meant.
He shook his head.
"The Early Martial Age is different from other ages. Beings above Saint level will be protected to the greatest extent possible, and death is not allowed."
"This is the rule set by the strongest person in the ninth realm of martial arts in the Wu Dynasty!"
"He won't care how anyone below the level of a saint dies."
"But for those above the Saint level, death is completely forbidden!"
"If there are two saints or Taoist masters who have a deep hatred for each other, they must resolve their grievances. They can apply to the powerful ones above to have a battle of personalities."
"Although this kind of battle does not allow for death, the losing side needs to hand over all of its assets to the winning side. This is also the main way for the strong in this era to resolve major grudges."
The more Xiao Shi listened, the more confused he became.
"Why is that?"
He thought this rule was really strange.
Even existence above saint level would involve the fate of an empire.
Every death would lead to a certain degree of reduction in the dynasty's luck.
But even during the heyday of the Dawu Dynasty, there was no such rule.
After all, this is the world of warriors.
Life-and-death battles are the norm.
Even warriors in the upper three realms also need to go through life-and-death battles.
How can a warrior be considered a warrior if he has never experienced life-and-death battles
This rule that does not allow death to exist above the level of Saints...
Xiao Shi felt it was strange and unreasonable at the same time. This had seriously disrupted the normal ecology of the world of warriors.
To this.
The Taoist master with silver hair and silver boy shook his head.
"I don't know the specific reason, but based on my many resets, this... seems to involve a deep secret from the early martial arts era!"
"But the level of this secret is too high, and it is difficult for me to access it."
"I only know that this secret is related to the strongest person at the ninth level of martial arts."
"That's why he made such rules."
"This is also the most difficult part of the Killing Palm Dao. Basically, anyone who has been selected as the Killing Palm Dao cannot use this Palm Dao. The saints in the initial martial arts era are extremely difficult to kill. Even if you are lucky enough to kill one or two saints, the gains will be very small. It is difficult to practice the Palm Dao in this way."
Xiao Shi suddenly realized.
No wonder other people had that expression when I chose this identity before.
Obviously, in the eyes of others, it is impossible for someone with this identity to be in charge.
"In addition to the saints in the Seventeen Kingdoms, there are actually some independent saints outside the Seventeen Kingdoms. These independent saints are not protected in this way because they are not saints of the Wu Dynasty."
"However, these independent saints are few in number, perhaps less than ten in total. Even if we kill them all, the gains will not be great. Moreover, their whereabouts are erratic and secretive, making them extremely difficult to track down."
"I don't recommend you to kill these scattered saints."
"First of all, it's too difficult to find them."
"Secondly, these independent saints are usually our disguised targets."
"When we enter the Wu Dynasty, we usually disguise ourselves as these independent cultivators. If we kill them all, we will have no targets to disguise ourselves as."
Xiao Shi nodded.
We know that they had the status of disciples of Daozu in the early martial arts era.
But Daozu was a powerful hermit in the early martial arts era.
Few people know about the existence of Daozu.
The same is true for Daozu's disciples.
They do not belong to the Wu Dynasty.
Therefore, if one wants to enter the Wu Dynasty, one can only enter as a casual cultivator.
After the other party explained.
Xiao Shi also gained sufficient understanding of the situation of the entire early martial arts era.
Judging from the situation in the early martial arts era.
There is only one way to kill the saint here.
That is to let his clone go and kill.
He understood that although the Dao Master would sense it immediately once the saints fought each other, he would not take action to stop it right away.
As long as it doesn't involve life and death.
The Taoist master generally does not interfere in the battles between these saints.
What’s more, saints want to decide between life and death.
It is not an easy task in itself.
Most saints can only decide who wins and who loses.
But it is difficult to decide life or death.
Only when the two sides are fighting and one of the saints is facing a life-and-death crisis will the Taoist master take action.
So...
Xiao Shi could let his clone challenge a certain saint first, pretending to be on equal terms with the other party.
The moment the Taoist master, who was watching this scene, relaxed his vigilance, he immediately burst out with his true strength and killed the saint in one fell swoop!
He believed that as long as the clone was fast enough.
Even if the Taoist master was paying attention to this scene, he would not have time to stop it!
