Chapter 586 - 574: Passing Down the Dao
Upon hearing Wang Xuan call a halt to the battle, the First Knight secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the fight continued, he feared he would exhaust all his Knight Source Power, and then he would have no choice but to concede.
As he quietly restored his expended Source Power, the First Knight pretended to be at ease and said, "Your cultivation level far surpasses mine, but as long as I perfect the Path of the Knight, I will surely defeat you in the future!"
Being the First Knight, he possessed strong confidence and dignity, otherwise, how could he lead tens of thousands of Revolutionary Knights?
Similarly, as the First Knight and leader, he could never admit defeat.
In his mind, Wang Xuan was deducing the Path of the Knight, and soon perfected it to the Void level, essentially encompassing the entire True Tier Domain.
The Path of the Knight he perfected, in terms of foundation, cultivation speed, and combat power, surpassed the Dharma Gate created by the First Knight by tenfold!
The gap between them was so vast, it didn’t seem like they were from the same cultivation system at all.
This was not to say that the First Knight and the Path of the Knight he created were worthless, it was just that Wang Xuan’s strength and talent were so high that they made the First Knight’s level seem lacking in comparison.
In fact, the First Knight was already a top-tier genius in the Canglan Realm, emerging once in hundreds of thousands of years.
Seeing Wang Xuan silent, the First Knight frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what is it that you seek here?"
He sensed no malice from Wang Xuan, otherwise, the battle just now wouldn’t have been so merciful, and killing him would have been easy.
But why did the other party come to find him?
Wang Xuan smiled and said, "Your Path of the Knight is not bad, I spent some effort deducing it, take a look at how it is."
With a flick of his finger, dozens of figures appeared out of thin air and began practicing the Path of the Knight.
Each of these figures practiced a Path of the Knight, representing different realms, and their cultivation techniques, skills, and thoughts were all extremely brilliant.
Even the content of the True Tier Three Realm was being demonstrated by the figures!
This scene left not only ordinary Revolutionary Knights but even the First Knight utterly astonished.
They could completely see that the Path of the Knight in Wang Xuan’s hands, although derived from the First Knight’s creation, was vastly superior to the original in every respect.
Even the First Knight began to doubt if the opponent had been immersed in the Path of the Knight for hundreds of thousands of years, otherwise, how could he understand it better than himself, who is the First Knight?
Compared to himself, the other party seemed more like the founder of the Path of the Knight.
But the First Knight understood that the creator of the Path of the Knight was indeed himself, and the other party was indeed the first time to come into contact with the Path of the Knight.
To deduce such a complete and powerful Path of the Knight in such a short time, so much so that this system has been elevated to an outstanding height, can only indicate that this person’s cultivation is deep and his talent far exceeds his own.
"The Path of the Knight in the True Tier Domain, I have also perfected it. First Knight, do you want to learn?" Wang Xuan asked with a smile.
The First Knight swallowed, his excitement and longing difficult to express.
He knew that with his own ability, trying to cultivate while deducing the Path of the Knight, to eventually reach the level of a Void Cultivator, would take several million years or even more time.
And even then, the Path of the Knight might not match the perfected content of the other party.
The First Knight certainly understood how to make a choice; he was not a stubborn or pedantic person.
But, what is the price?
The other party couldn’t be such a great person doing good deeds without asking for anything in return. To obtain the perfected Path of the Knight from him, a price must inevitably be paid.
Can he afford this price? Can the Revolutionary Knights afford it?
The First Knight surveyed the other knights, seeing eyes full of yearning, like starving people finding a feast.
If he refused, would these knights who had followed him for thousands of years be content?
If Wang Xuan killed him and then replaced him with a knight willing to cooperate, it wouldn’t make much difference.
In an instant, the First Knight understood that he had no reason to refuse, nor the ability to refuse.
The First Knight immediately said, "If you, senior, impart the Dharma Gate, this kindness to us is like a rebirth, we are willing to go through fire and water for you!"
Hearing the leader agree, the other knights secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing excited, radiant smiles.
Wang Xuan nodded and said, "You’re teachable, then I will pass the Dharma Gate to you!"
With a flick of his finger, the perfected Path of the Knight fell into the Sea of Consciousness of the First Knight. Receiving such precious information, the First Knight immediately immersed himself in the profound Dharma Gate.
"Wonderful! So magnificent, it can actually be done this way."
"Such a thought process I might never come up with in a lifetime; the senior’s strength is terrifying, I am far from it."
"With this Dharma Gate leading directly to the Peak of the Void, as long as I cultivate step by step, there is hope to step into the Void Realm within a million years in the future!"
At this moment, the First Knight cared not at all about what the so-called price was; a cultivator’s life is a life that seeks the way, what does it matter even if he sells his life to the other party who has pointed him on his path?
Immersed in cultivation, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
When the First Knight woke up, he had already cultivated the perfected version of the Path of the Knight, and his strength and potential were several grades stronger than before.
Glancing around, he saw hundreds of knights, just like him before, immersed in cultivation, evidently also taught the perfected version of the Path of the Knight.
A few knights even began to faintly exude the aura of a Half-Step True Tier, just one step away from stepping into the True Tier Domain.
Wang Xuan was sitting upright in front of him, with a faint smile on his face.
"First Knight, how do you feel?"
"Unprecedented strength, unprecedented clarity," the First Knight expressed his true feelings.
He now understood clearly what it was like above the Celestial Tier and how to walk the path of the True Tier.
Walking step by step, the road was smooth and solid, this sense of steadiness was very reassuring.
The First Knight knelt on one knee: "The grace of passing on knowledge, the First Knight will remember with gratitude, should there be any commands, none will be refused!"
Wang Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "Perhaps you misunderstand, I don’t need you to go through torture or flame."
"What does the senior wish to do? And what do you need us to do?" the First Knight asked in confusion.
Wang Xuan said calmly, "The Canglan Divine Sect has ruled the Azure Star for too long, it is like a stagnant pool, it’s time for a change.
I need you to expand the Revolutionary Knights, awaken more people, and bring down the Canglan Divine Sect from their pedestal."
Hearing Wang Xuan’s words, the First Knight felt a strange sense of familiarity, weren’t these words what he himself used to say to others?
It turns out the senior, like them, also wanted to overthrow the rule of the Divine Teachings and lead the Canglan Realm into a free and glorious new era.
Isn’t this a fellow traveler?
Even if Wang Xuan didn’t command it, these are things he would do because it is the ideal of being a knight.
But suddenly in his mind, the First Knight had a thought: besides the Revolutionary Knights, who else in the world would want to overthrow the Divine Teachings? Who would have the power to overthrow the Divine Teachings?
In fact, although the First Knight had been rebelling, he was very wary of the deep foundations of the Canglan Divine Sect, knowing he had no chance of success currently.
Indeed, there was no force in the entire Canglan Realm that could contend with it.
But why was the senior so confident?
It was as if Wang Xuan knew the First Knight’s thoughts, he directly revealed his guess.
"That’s right, I come from the other side of the Gate of the World."
The First Knight was stunned, for a moment not knowing what to say or do.
