Chapter 158 - Ah Chun’s Dao Path

Vice Master Du Wei brought Ah Chun all the way to the top of the highest mountain within the Heavenly Sword Sect. The place they had set up for Ah Chun to reside in was a large courtyard that was carved out of the mountain face. Half of the residence was built into the mountain. Ah Chun was a little surprised when she saw this place but when she thought of how grand her master had made the palace that he resided in. She realized this courtyard was nothing in comparison to the palace.

"From today onwards, you will be staying here. Miss Ah, I understand you are learning about the dao of the sword? But you also have two other dao roots as well am I correct?" Vice Master Du Wei asked.

"Yes, Uncle Du I currently have Dao Roots in the sword, wind, and fire." Ah Chun had thought long and hard when it came to her dao path. She did not want to jump around all over. Her three current Dao Roots were ones she had decided on after much thought. 

All three could be used in conjunction with each other and would work well with her secret art Dreamscape. Ah Chun decided she wanted to form a minimum of twelve Doa Roots before forming her Dao Tree. After her rebirth, she was still only nineteen years old. Her path of cultivation still had many tens of thousands of years to go. She had plenty of time. In her past life, she was deemed the Asura Queen and her strength was unfathomable but she, in the end, she still could not fight against all the major powers at the same time. In this life, she also had her vow to the heavens that she had to abide by. Because of this, she could not be careless with her cultivation. Since she had rushed to be strong in her past life which caused her downfall in the end. This time around Ah Chun wanted to take a smarter approach. She would do things right. She was happy that before her awakening she had picked suitable Dao's so far and ever since she awoke she was on the verge of breaking through in her sword intent to One With The Sword. 

Sword intent had six levels. It started off with Sword Heart, this was the base of all sword intent. Sword Heart was when a cultivator had the heart of the sword. It could also be interpreted as having a love for the sword. The second level was Sword Will, releasing the swords will to sunder the heavens. The third level was One With The Sword, knowing the sword is knowing one's self.  Fourth Level was I Am The Sword when cultivators reached this of sword Intent a simple slash with their fingers could slay millions. The fifth level was called Master Of Swords, not many have ever reached this level of sword intent it was said once one reached the fifth level they could split a mountain in half with a simple slash. The Six Level was called the God of Swords, no one knows how powerful one is when they reached this level. People could only speculate that if one were to reach such a level they could destroy worlds with a wave of their sword.

Ah Chun was only nineteen and was on the verge of breaking through to the third level of sword intent, this was an unprecedented thing. Normally it would take a few thousands of thousands of years to reach such a level. In her past life, Ah Chun had only made it to the peak of the third level of Sword Intent. It seemed her understanding of Sword Intent came with her when her soul was dispersed. Even in her samsara she never made it past the third level. This time around Ah Chun was determined to reach the highest peak of Sword Intent. She wanted to know what it was like to reach the sixth level or find out if there were actually more levels passed that!

"Mhm… You picked some good Daos. Take this pass it will allow you to enter the Dao Hall. It has many artifacts left behind from ancient times. They are all used to help comprehend your Daos. You might find something of use there." Vice Master Du Wei smiled as he handed over a white jade pass. 

"Thank you, Uncle Du!" Ah Chun was very happy to receive such a thing. This would give her a chance to comprehend more Dao's as well as raise the level of her other Daos. To be able to understand the laws behind Wind and Fire was a grueling task. Both of her nature Dao Roots were still only at level one. 

"If you have any questions just come find me." Vice Master Du Wei felt that the Celestial Emperor found himself a good disciple! Then he remembered the words the Celestial Emperor had said to him early this day. "Miss Ah… If you run into any trouble at the Academy I must remind you that killing is not allowed outside the life or death arena..."

Hearing Vice Master Du Wei's words made Ah Chun not know if she should laugh or cry. ' Did everyone think she was some kind of killing machine!? ' Not wanting to be rude Ah Chun put on a smile as she nodded and said jokingly: "I understand Uncle Du. I will make sure to drag them to the life or death arena before killing them." Ah Chun was only joking but Vice Master Du Wei wanted to cry! He didn't mean for her to just drag everyone there instead of killing them elsewhere! He really took Ah Chun's words seriously! But what could he say not he already told her it was okay to kill in the life or death arena!

"Un… Then I will take my leaven then." After saying his words Vice Master Du Wei's body flickered and he disappeared from sight.
