"That ’Heaven and Earth’ Dao Map, did you bring it out from the Martial Ancestor’s Imperial Tomb?"
Through the purple tower, Su Nan gazed at the ancient and mysterious Dao Map, asking with interest.
The Martial Ancestor, always a fearsome existence among the Great Emperors, ranking in the top three in terms of combat power.
Countless have sought the Martial Ancestor’s legacy, even other Great Emperors have deliberately searched for it.
But without exception, the Martial Ancestor seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace in this world.
If Wu Jiuling had not stated that he was cultivating the Martial Ancestor’s legacy, Su Nan would have thought the Martial Ancestor hadn’t even left behind an Imperial Tomb.
Wu Jiuling shook his head and sighed: "With my qualifications, how could I enter the Martial Ancestor’s Imperial Tomb?"
"Back then, it was merely luck that I found this Dao Map in a ruined small world."
"Later, I searched every corner of that small world, yet found nothing else."
Stopping for a moment, Wu Jiuling seemed to recall something, and said with a heavy gaze:
"But at the end of that small world, there was a Barrier."
"That barrier was so sturdy that even with my Quasi-Emperor’s power, I couldn’t damage it in the slightest."
"I suspect, even if the Martial Ancestor’s Imperial Tomb isn’t there, it must seal something extremely important!"
Why does Wu Jiuling have such stringent requirements for accepting disciples?
Because he knows well that an ordinary constitution, even with the Martial Ancestor’s legacy, can’t cultivate to a perfect state.
Nor can it break through that Barrier.
Though he claims to have obtained the Martial Ancestor’s legacy, it’s only a Dao Map and a Divine Body Foundation Establishment technique.
This Dao Map can establish the world’s most solid Dao foundation, but lacks the Martial Ancestor’s means to cut down heavens and seize earth.
"A barrier that even a Quasi-Emperor can’t break?"
Su Nan licked his lips at these words, "Could a Peak Quasi-Emperor, with a complete Emperor’s Weapon, open it?"
This combination is already the pinnacle of combat power in this world.
Yet, Wu Jiuling shook his head unhesitatingly at this, saying: "It can’t be opened."
"You haven’t seen that barrier, that feeling... It made even me, with Quasi-Emperor cultivation, feel like an ant."
"An ant shaking the heavens? Even if that ant wields Divine Soldiers and weapons, it’s just futile."
Pausing, he hesitated but continued:
"I even suspect, that even if a Great Emperor were to come, it would still be difficult to shake that Barrier."
Su Nan was shocked at this, "Even a Great Emperor can’t open it?"
"A barrier that the strongest of an era can’t open, what does the Martial Ancestor mean by leaving it?"
Wu Jiuling was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then looked towards the Heaven and Earth Dao Map inside the purple tower, slowly speaking:
"Great Emperors plot for eternity, if they don’t want their legacy discovered, there’s no need to leave a Dao Map in a small world."
"I suspect, the ’method’ to open that barrier should be on that Dao Map."
As he spoke, he sighed dejectedly:
"Alas, though I’ve pondered on the Dao Map for hundreds of years, I’ve gained nothing, and don’t even know if this speculation is true."
Hearing this, Su Nan marveled, not expecting that just a Dao Map left by the Martial Ancestor could stump those that came after.
"Two simple words, what mystery could they hold..."
Su Nan mulled over this, turning his gaze to the inside of the purple tower, but upon seeing, he was suddenly stunned.
"Old Wu, could your Dao Map... change?"
Wu Jiuling waved his hand at these words, "Impossible to change, otherwise I would’ve discovered it long ago."
Su Nan’s mouth twitched slightly, pointing at the purple tower before him, "Look for yourself."
Wu Jiuling turned around puzzled, using his technique to look at the purple tower.
But upon seeing the familiar ’Heaven and Earth’ disappear, replaced by an ancient giant axe.
His mouth slowly opened wide, his eyes growing rounder, finally...
"Companion Dao Weapon! Heaven-Opening Axe!"
Within his own heaven and earth.
"So this is chaos? Just like the records on the Celestial Doctor’s miracle scroll say."
Su Changqing stood in the vast white world, looking around.
At this moment, the world had no up or down, no left or right, no time or space.
It was as if everything and everything had disappeared, leaving only the infinitely large and infinitely small Su Changqing, standing in place.
That extreme sense of nothingness even made Su Changqing unable to feel his own existence.
"What should I do next? Is my ’Heaven and Earth’ considered complete?"
There was confusion in Su Changqing’s eyes, not knowing what to do next.
At this moment, the chaotic world suddenly quaked.
An indescribable giant axe slowly manifested from the chaos!
This axe, with an axe width of thirty-three thousand zhang, as vast as the sky before him.
The axe handle was three thousand three hundred zhang wide, with unique textures rising and falling, giving a sense of unparalleled power.
The axe was sixty-six thousand zhang long, its length seemingly piercing through ancient and modern, connecting the two poles of heaven and earth.
When the giant axe fully manifested, Su Changqing stared at the boundless giant axe, muttering in a daze,
He had never seen such a breathtaking axe.
There was an indescribable beauty to it.
As if it was naturally meant to be so, neither more nor less.
The ancient and mysterious patterns on it, like the Dao glyphs from the birth of chaos, each containing endless mysteries and power.
At this moment, Su Changqing’s heart seemed to guide him, instinctively reaching out to grasp it.
The chaos violently shook, whether Su Changqing was quickly enlarging or the giant axe was suddenly shrinking was unknown.
In any case, as Su Changqing’s palm grasped the axe handle, it fit perfectly into his hand.
Clutching the giant axe, Su Changqing instantly felt an unparalleled energy surge through his body.
That indescribable sense of security, as if lifting this axe could sever everything in the world.
Su Changqing looked down, seeing the irregularly patterned axe handle, three mysterious Dao runes flashed with a bright light.
"Heaven-Opening... Axe."
Watching the chaotic world before him, a color of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
Outside the purple tower.
"Companion Dao Weapon?"
Su Nan was stunned upon hearing this, looking at the excited Wu Jiuling, "That Heaven-Opening Axe is actually a Companion Dao Weapon?"
Most divine weapons in the world are of two kinds, one nurtured and cultivated as one’s natal divine weapon.
Another crafted from divine metal and rare iron, a Dao device divine weapon.
But besides these two types, there is also the rarest kind of weapon.
A Companion Dao Weapon!
When a cultivator cultivates a special ’Dao’ to the extreme, that ’Dao’ itself births a divine weapon.
The special nature of this Dao weapon is that it is born within the cultivator’s body, like an extension of the cultivator’s own body, it undergoes unique changes as you continue cultivating.
Just like what Su Changqing is cultivating now, the ’Path of Heaven Opening’!
Open the heaven and earth of the body, establish the strongest Dao foundation.
And when Su Changqing realized the chaotic world, this path, he reached its pinnacle!
And the Companion Dao Weapon of this ’Path’ is the Heaven-Opening Axe!
"I understand, I understand."
Looking at the Heaven-Opening Axe within the purple tower, Wu Jiuling murmured excitedly,
"The Barrier within that small world, nothing in this world could damage it."
"Only by taking the ’Path of Heaven Opening’ to its extreme, condensing the Companion Dao Weapon Heaven-Opening Axe, can that barrier be split open!"
"Chaos World! Chang Qing must have established the Chaos World!"
"His Dao Weapon! Can open heaven!"
