Especially in terms of realm, not to mention the many Yuanshen realm powerhouses who crossed over this time, they all far surpassed me.
Even Gu Yuan, Jiang Wandao, Kong Mingji, Li Xueer and others are much better than him.
They all specialize in one avenue, and have advanced that avenue to a later stage, fully understanding the existence of six, seven, eight, and even nine. In fact, they are not far from the next realm, the Yuanshen realm.
And although he is not necessarily weaker than them in understanding the Tao, due to the scattered understanding, his realm is much worse.
"The most important thing for a warrior to practice, to break through from the Dao realm to the Yuanshen realm, is to reach perfection on a great path.
Although my method of cultivation is not necessarily a loss, the time and energy consumed is several times, even dozens of times, that of other cultivators.
Even with the speed at which I understand the Tao, the delay may not be too long, but will the entire star realm allow me to waste this time?"
Xiang Shang still has some worries.
In fact, he had an intuition that it was not necessarily a mistake for him to comprehend the Dao in a scattered manner.
Especially when he understood the number of avenues and reached a certain level, this intuition in his heart became even stronger.
He felt that he was comprehending the Tao in scattered ways. As the principles he comprehended increased and deepened, there would suddenly be an inexplicable connection and closeness between the various Tao.
They seem to complement each other and promote each other's progress.
Especially when he comprehends all the principles of the Five Elements Great Way, he can even use the method of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements to speed up the understanding of each principle.
However, the crisis of alien invasion always hung above his head, making him hesitate.
Hesitating whether to follow the traditional cultivation method, choose a great avenue, fully understand this avenue, go to the end, and then break through to the realm of the soul.
"Time. Although the passage to the Starry Sky Battlefield has been blocked, it will be stable for at least a hundred years.
However, as the recovery of the star realm accelerates, the strength of the powerful aliens who emerge from the space channel will inevitably increase. In at most two years, there will be powerful people who have entered the Dao realm and passed through the space channel.
The strong men who have entered the Dao realm are no longer weak in combat effectiveness. They need a strong enough presence to ensure their advantage.
The time left for me is only two years at most."
Xiang Shang frowned.
Once a powerful person at the Taoist level crosses over into the star realm, some changes will inevitably occur.
Because of many factors such as background, the number of powerful people in the other world far exceeds that of the star world.
The combat power of the strong ones at the Dao Realm level, even if they are at the initial level of the Dao Dao Realm, after forming a numerical advantage, can still pose a threat to the strong ones at the higher level of the Dao Dao Realm or above.
Therefore, in his heart, he actually wanted to break through the realm and enter the realm of Yuanshen within two years.
Because only by reaching the level of the Yuan Shen Realm can we take an absolute advantage in the subsequent changes in the situation and suppress all changes.
If he devotes all his energy to cultivating the principles of a great avenue, within two years, he may have a chance to break through and enter the realm of Yuanshen.
Although the chances are also slim, after all, the Tao is understood and full of unknowns.
But once the various avenues are dispersed, two years will definitely not be enough.
Even if the five elements and avenues complement each other, it is still difficult to achieve it. In a short period of time, he can break through the realm and enter the realm of Yuanshen.
"A road that can be seen, traveled by many strong men, goes smoothly and can lead directly to the soul.
There is one path that no one has ever walked on, and even if someone has walked on it, there is absolutely no way to go through it.
This road is full of ups and downs, and we can’t even see the future.
But once you get through it, the results will be completely different.
How do I choose?”
Xiang Shang asked himself, ideas kept coming up, which would determine his future path and achievements, and he had to think clearly.
"You already have a choice, don't you?"
Just at this moment, Zi Ling's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"But the future situation... I must ensure that my strength is enough to deal with all threats."
Xiang Shang frowned, but still had not made up his mind.
"You have to have confidence in yourself. Your strength has surpassed many Yuanshen realms, right?
At least it will be enough to cope with the changes in the next two years.
After two years, if you find that this road is not working, you can still take another road.
Not to mention, this road may be difficult, but the prospects are actually very broad.
I have never told you about the way a warrior cultivates.
Let me talk to you here."
Zi Ling paused slightly, as if thinking.
"The way to practice as a warrior?"
Xiang Shang's heart moved.
"Before you enter the Tao, you have already gone through it, so I won't explain it. After you enter the Tao, I will explain it to you systematically."
Zi Ling's voice sounded in Xiang Shang's mind.
"When entering the Tao and breaking through to the Yuan Shen, warriors generally choose a great avenue and fully understand all the nine, even ten, eleven or twelve principles of this avenue.
Once this is achieved, through this avenue, the warrior's transformed soul can follow the avenue and enter the sea of soul, absorb energy, and strengthen his body.
The cultivation of the Yuanshen realm is the road to the integration of Tao and Principle.
When a warrior integrates all nine or even ten principles of this avenue into one body, the Yuanshen realm will come to an end.
Such a strong person is usually given the title of Venerable by Guanyu.
For example, if you have completed the cultivation of the fire-attribute avenue, you will be called the Flame Lord, and if you have completed the earth-attribute avenue, you will be called the Earth Lord.
Of course, this is not necessarily the case. Some people will be called the Invincible Venerable, Beixuan Venerable, etc. according to their Taoist names.
This kind of existence can actually be regarded as the Hedao realm.
As long as the soul is strong enough and has sufficient energy, it can be promoted to the Hedao realm.
At least the shackles that plagued them are gone.
As for the Hedao realm above the Yuanshen realm..."
Zi Ling explained and made several metaphors to make Xiang Shang understand more clearly.
"The perfection of the Dao is for the venerable? What about the state of Hedao?"
The Hedao realm is a realm above the Yuanshen realm.
According to Zi Ling, the Yuanshen realm has reached the end of a great road and completely merged into one. So, how does one cultivate in the Hedao realm?
"Starting from the Hedao realm, warriors no longer consider a single avenue when practicing, but multiple avenues.
Speaking of which, this is the path you are going to take now.
The warrior begins to practice with all his strength, understands the principles of another great Tao, and then retakes these routes from entering the Tao to the soul.
That's why I say, the path you take is not necessarily wrong.
This may even be the more correct path.”
It is precisely because we understand the specific route of warrior training and look at it as a whole that we can understand that the path Xiang Shang is taking at this time is really not wrong, and can even be regarded as a new path.
