Chapter 1738: Chapter 1738: Pursue The Godly Way

Once Zen began to exhibit his set of Sword Step, the eyes of Woolley, Thomson and a few other children immediately lit up. All of them were in awe of Zen's magnificent display of skill.

Due to the Eagle Sword Skill that Woolley had used previously, Zen had already understood the strangeness of the divine land. The cultivation methods, which were practiced by the disciples supported by the True Gods, were extremely exquisite. Each disciple would cultivate many of those methods in their lifetime. Perhaps those methods were inherited from the comprehension of Holy Beings and later inherited from the Godly Ways!

However, the distance between divine citizens and those disciples was extremely far. As such, their abilities were also vastly different.

When the divine citizens finally grew up, they would naturally have incredible strength. Additionally, their perception would be several times better than those of the divine land's martial artists. However, it was difficult for the divine citizens to even get a chance to learn some of the most basic martial arts of the universe! Zen had no idea how such a situation had developed. Pity and disappointment were in his eyes.

Perhaps it was because the little mountain village was too remote. Or maybe, it was because the situation had been developed in the divine land for countless years. Nonetheless, their predicament should be addressed as soon as possible.

Although the divine citizens did not possess any powerful martial arts manuals, their physiques were still powerful and they had extraordinary perception. Each of them meticulously watched Zen's movements. After Zen finished his Sword Step, the eyes of Woolley and the children were full of admiration!

“Hooo... hooo... hooo…”

After Zen ascended to the Upper World, it was no longer important to fight against a martial artist with sword moves. As such, most of the cultivation methods he had gathered over the years became less useful. There were many cultivation methods that he could only discard.

But since there were so many restrictions within the divine land, Zen also understood that in a fight against those True Gods, the cultivation methods he had could often be used to reverse the situation!

After he displayed the Sword Step, Zen put away the wooden sword. He looked at the children and said flatly, “This set of Sword Step is only the most basic steps of the swordsmanship. However, if you can master it thoroughly, you will be able to lay a solid foundation. You should try your best to comprehend it...”

When Zen finished his words, Woolley and the other children felt confused. Their eyes, which were earlier filled with admiration, became clouded with bewilderment...

They had too little knowledge of martial arts. As their little mountain village was too secluded, they would only receive little information and knowledge, or worse, none at all. Although they knew that the Sword Step was profound, how could they comprehend the profoundness behind it in such a short time?

As he saw their puzzled expressions, Zen curled his lips. These guys seemed to be even more ignorant than he had imagined. When he first comprehended the Sword Step, he purely followed the rhythm of Rocher's movements to practice it. It could be said that he mastered the Sword Step almost on his own. It seemed that the divine citizens could not understand such things. It must also be the first time they encountered such knowledge from outside the village.

“I'll demonstrate it again...” Zen said patiently. The expression on his face had grown rather amused.

“Wait! I think I can do it Let me have a try!”

Thomson stood up and asked Zen for his wooden sword. As Thomson shook the sword lightly, his left leg slid across the ground as if it was gliding over a piece of ice. With this step, he immediately became extremely nimble. His movement could still be improved, but it was a lot better than before.

“Hooo... hooo... hooo…”

Thomson's movements were still much slower than Zen's. After he took the first step, Thomson would have to think for a while before he could continue to slide forward. Additionally, even after he pondered, he would sometimes even take the wrong step.

However, he had still integrally practiced the Sword Step that Zen had just displayed! Such a feat was pretty marvelous for his first try.

After he withdrew his sword, Zen approached Thomson. With a gentle face, he praised Thomson, “Not bad. Although you are not that nimble, you've already grasped the concept. Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to remember all of my movements. Your comprehension is better than others'!”

As he heard Zen's sincere praise, Thomson was so happy that he almost jumped up from the ground.

On the other hand, his brother, Woolley, had a depressed look on his face. A gloomy atmosphere had surrounded him.

In the deep mountains of the Vast Sky Region, every village would train their own martial artists. They often raised a warrior to defend their territory. After all, occasionally, vicious creatures would appear in the mountains. Sometimes, those vicious creatures would wreak havoc in the vegetable fields. Some of them would even have disputes with the villagers, which would require the help of the martial artists of the village.

Woolley was the warrior of the Misty Mountain Village. As such, the village had paid a high price for his cultivation. However, Woolley's talent was average at best. Additionally, the Misty Mountain Village was not rich with resources. The village could barely give him the rare resources he needed. Therefore, Woolley's strength was also mediocre.

After he saw the talent that his little brother had displayed seemed to far surpass his own, Woolley felt both depressed and happy for his little brother. A mix of admiration and regret crept in his heart. He wondered if he should let his brother become Zen's disciple...

Over the next few days, Zen continued to teach the children the Sword Step. Everyone was very eager to comprehend the profound movements. Zen also saw some benefits in his interaction with the villagers. ʀäΝöʙЕ𝓢

He could learn more information about the Vast Sky Region. Additionally, since the village provided him a place to stay, he could unravel the black threads in his cinnabar field with ease.

The villagers of the Misty Mountain Village were all very kind. They knew that Zen was a proving godly warrior. Additionally, he even taught a few children the swordsmanship every day. Naturally, they were very grateful and always made the best food in the village for Zen to eat.

At the same time, the villagers had all sorts of speculations about Zen's background. His mysteriousness and kind character created colorful rumors about him.

The villagers were not stupid. A proving godly warrior with unknown background stayed in their little village might because the warrior possibly committed some crime and escaped his origins to avoid punishment. However, since the Misty Mountain Village was so remote, perhaps no one would be able to find the place. As such, they were not too worried.

Zen had been in the Misty Mountain Village for more than half a month. Within that period, about half of the black threads in his cinnabar field had already melted away. In another half a month, he should be able to completely get rid of all of those black threads. His strength would finally be rejuvenated. Additionally, Zen had good knowledge of the Vast Sky Region. After those black threads melted away, he would leave the village. The vast region could be finally explored by him.

The divine citizens' cultivation talent was not weak. However, it was just that their foundation was too poor. Thus, it was difficult for them to bring out their full strength. With his cultivation base of the Spirit Transformation Realm, Woolley could barely employ the Sword Step. As such, his movements were still not agile enough.

On the other hand, Thomson's talent was indeed beyond Zen's expectations. Even though he had yet to open his Soul Sea, it only took him three days to master the Sword Step. Such fast comprehension was spectacular even for Zen. Thomson's talent was greater than that of any ordinary people. Even seasoned warriors would be impressed by Thomson's extraordinary talent for comprehension.

Therefore, based on Thomson's talent, Zen had developed a new sword technique. He aligned it with the basic sword technique Woolley practiced, with the addition of the Sword Step. The newly created technique was then imparted to Thomson...

Thomson meticulously practiced the sword technique day and night for the past few days. When he saw Zen walk out of the house, he suddenly threw the wooden sword away and knelt down with a plop sound in front of Zen. With a face full of admiration, he pleaded, “Master, please accept me as your disciple!”

He actually wanted to become Zen's disciple!

If it was within the universe, then Zen would indeed have the qualifications to establish his own sect. He would even be able to create a great force within the universe and take Thomson in as a disciple. With his vast knowledge and unparalleled experience in battle, Zen could create a strong and very powerful sect.

However, Zen himself was only a proving godly warrior in the divine land. He would face a lot of hardships and dangers in the future. Even if he took Thomson in as his disciple, it would be strenuous to take care of him. It would be very difficult for Zen to protect himself and Thomson at the same time. He faintly smiled and responded, “Sorry. I am unable to take you in as my disciple right now.”

It was Woolley who wanted Thomson to be Zen's disciple. Woolley knew that Zen gave no high importance to his average talent. If his brother could be accepted as a disciple by a proving godly warrior, it would be much easier for his brother to cultivate. Even though he was full of envy, Woolley still wanted Thomson to improve and get stronger. That was an opportunity Thomson could not miss.

However, they didn't expect that Zen would immediately refuse Thomson without a single thought! Zen had been very kind in the past weeks. Both Woolley and Thomson thought that Zen would at least accept one disciple.

“Why? I, I'm very obedient! Please! Master!” Thomson stammered as he raised his head. Sadness was apparent in his eyes.

Woolley also interjected. With a depressed face, he asked, “That's right. Why can't you take my brother as your disciple?”

Zen was naturally unable to explain his origins to them. All he could do was to shake his head indifferently. He looked at Thomson and asked, “Why are you cultivating the martial arts? If you just want to protect the people of the Misty Mountain Village, then you just need to rely on your own talent and the sword skills that I have taught you. You are already brave enough. Practice diligently and you can have the strength to protect them...”

Although Zen had never come into contact with any other martial artist from the Vast Sky Region, he could deduce the general situation from the performance of the villagers from the Misty Mountain Village. If judged from the cultivation method alone, other than the Godly Ways and top cultivation methods, the other cultivation methods in the divine land were not superior to those of the universe. After all, almost all of the inheritances in the universes came from the Holy Beings!

Of course, that was only true for the ordinary divine citizens in the divine land. The cultivation methods of the Han Clan's members who had encountered Zen in the Divine Refinement Forbidden Land were extremely extraordinary. It could even be said that they were powerful enough to challenge Zen. After all, they also had the inheritance of the Holy Beings.

“No!” Thomson denied Zen's words. A determined expression painted his face. He then announced with a brave tone, “I cultivate the martial arts not just to protect the Misty Mountain Village! ”I, I want to... pursue the Godly Way!"

After he heard Thomson say such words, Woolley was very shocked. With an opened mouth, Woolley gawked at his brother. He had never thought that his brother had such an ideal.

In the divine land, there was a huge gap between the divine citizens and True Gods.

Once one succeeded in the cultivation of the Godly Way, it meant that they would achieve unlimited lifespan and unlimited possibilities. The Godly Way was a gateway for limitless power and strength.

However, even though the number of True Gods in the divine land was large, it did not mean that it was easy to cultivate the Godly Ways. That particular method of cultivation was very strenuous. The warriors that cultivated the Godly Ways also rarely succeeded.

The vast majority of True Gods were born countless divine eras ago. A True God wouldn't die because their lifespan was already inexhaustible. Old age and sickness would mean nothing to them. As such, there were so many True Gods out there. However, only a few divine citizens would be able to master the Godly Ways and become True Gods.
