Fang Hao searched for the reason behind the change in the Blizzard Realm, as well as the thing that was spying on him.

In the expanse of the snowy world, Fang Hao followed the guidance of his geometric compass, leading him to a peculiar valley.

Inside this valley, Fang Hao detected the presence of numerous life forms.

Confident in his strength, Fang Hao entered the valley directly.

Upon stepping into the valley, Fang Hao was met with a sight that left him stunned.

Countless Ice Crystal Pythons inhabited the valley, with some of them displaying traces of dragon-like features.

It was evident that they were evolving towards becoming dragons.

The abundance of these partially transformed Ice Crystal Pythons filled Fang Hao with excitement.

Though dragons were not on par with true dragons, their affiliation with the term “dragon” inherently bestowed value upon them.

Putting aside all other considerations, the gathering of these semi-transformed Ice Crystal Pythons alone made Fang Hao’s journey worthwhile.

Driven by this realization, Fang Hao made ready to capture all these semi-transformed Ice Crystal Pythons within his Xumi Storage Ring.

However, just as he took out the Xumi Storage Ring, a colossal form suddenly materialized from under his feet.

Bang!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Fang Hao swiftly evaded the imminent danger.

Had his response been even slightly delayed, he might have faced the peril of being devoured by the colossal Ice Crystal Dragon before him.

Sensing the aura exuding from the Ice Crystal Dragon, Fang Hao was immediately confronted by a formidable challenge.

In incomparable realms, the Demon Clan held an edge over human cultivators.

This was due to the Demon Clan possessing not only robust physical forms but also requiring significantly more time to attain the same cultivation levels as their human counterparts.

Hence, most often, a Demon Clan entity could contend against two or three human cultivators of the same level.

Fang Hao perceived that the Ice Crystal Flood Dragon before him had only reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, still lagging behind the Apotheosis Stage.

However, it was essential to remember that Fang Hao’s current cultivation had been suppressed to the Nascent Soul Stage’s pinnacle.

Thinking of this, a sense of regret began to surface within Fang Hao for underestimating the situation.

As he observed the Ice Crystal Pythons gradually encircling him and the enormous Ice Crystal Dragon before him, Fang Hao recognized the need to give his all.

Otherwise, it was very likely that he would die here.

Before long, the valley resonated with the echoes of intense explosions.

The fluctuations of all sorts of divine arts and spells began to reverberate in the valley.

In the Leader Star Sword Domain, Cheng Feng Academy.

The Dao discussions between the Knowledge Research Institute and Cheng Feng Academy lasted for a full three years.

Over this span, some individuals drew inspiration and experienced substantial advancements in their strength.

Conversely, there were others who allowed themselves to become entangled in trivial matters, ultimately leading to the collapse of their Dao hearts.

In summary, this cycle of Dao discussions that occurred once every hundred years proved to be more advantageous than detrimental.

Lu Yuan also gleaned a fair amount of enlightenment from the myriad Dao discussions held by the disciples.

Initially, his sword intent of Leader Star, Assimilation Sword, had just made its fledgling strides.

Yet, after observing the discussions of numerous disciples over time, his Assimilation Sword made significant progress.

Unlike the astonishing speed at which his Disha Sword had improved, the ascent of the Big Dipper sword intents was comparatively slower.

However, this slowness was merely relative.

In comparison to the average person, Lu Yuan’s rapid comprehension of laws was already remarkable.

Once he verified that there was little left for him to gain from Cheng Feng Academy, Lu Yuan embarked on a journey to the next Sword Domain.

Nearly a decade had elapsed since his arrival in the Leader Star Sword Domain.

In theory, if he could maintain this pace of cultivation, he would need just over 300 years to master all the Big Dipper sword intents.

However, Lu Yuan was well aware that the cultivation of Big Dipper sword intents would undoubtedly become more challenging as he progressed.

He estimated that he would likely require around 500 years to truly grasp all the Big Dipper sword intents.

This remained a relatively optimistic scenario, as he was uncertain about the practicalities.

In the days that followed, Lu Yuan began to traverse various other Sword Domains. Situations like his were not uncommon, thus not attracting undue attention.

Leveraging the exceptional perception of laws conferred by his Innate Spirit, Lu Yuan discovered that the process of learning the Big Dipper sword intents was surprisingly more straightforward than he had anticipated.

Initially, he believed that as he acquired an increasing number of Big Dipper sword intents, learning additional ones might prove challenging due to potential clashes between the intents.

However, the reality turned out to be quite different.

Lu Yuan found that his journey to master the Big Dipper sword intents was as natural as eating and drinking.

Throughout the process, there was no evidence of the purported conflict between different sword intents.

Consequently, he only needed approximately a decade to fully grasp each Big Dipper sword intent.

If others were privy to his astounding rate of advancement, they would undoubtedly be astonished.

After all, he was learning to complete the heavens in just ten years, a feat unimaginable for ordinary individuals.

Three hundred years later…

“Exhale…”

With the last Nascent Soul Stage attainable Big Dipper sword intent now under his belt, Lu Yuan had acquired a total of thirty Big Dipper sword intents.

He stood a mere step away from the legendary Daoist Xiang, with only one Dao left to master.

Lu Yuan’s inability to continue his study of Big Dipper sword intents was primarily attributed to the fact that the remaining six intents required reaching the Apotheosis Stage for comprehension.

Presently, Lu Yuan’s cultivation stood at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, rendering him incapable of meeting the prerequisites for learning the remaining six Big Dipper sword intents..
