“Please speak, Your Majesty.”

“The thing I want you to do is very simple. That is to learn as much Big Dipper sword intents as possible.”

“You might think that my words are a little unnecessary, but that’s not the case.”

“The Big Dipper sword intents are the sword intents left behind by cultivators at the Ethereal Stage and above. These sword intents are only help to cultivators below the Apotheosis Stage.”

“When we reach the Ethereal Stage, not only will the comprehension of the way of the heavens of others like the sword intents not helpful to us it might even cause problems for our Dao heart.”

“Just like how many sword intents in the Big Dipper sword intents oppose each other, the Dao heart of Ethereal Stage cultivators like us are often completely different.”

“The battle of the Dao is far more terrifying than you can imagine.”

“If you’re not careful, your Dao heart might collapse and your body might die.”

“Therefore, after reaching the Ethereal Stage, cultivators are very cautious about their comprehension of the Dao. Once they find that the Dao they encounter is harmful to them, they will subconsciously stay away from the Daoist Rhythm.”

“But it’s different for Apotheosis Stage cultivators. The Apotheosis stage is where cultivators officially grasp and comprehend the Dao.”

“It is also the most crucial tier in the entire way of cultivation.”

“Because the Apotheosis Stage has a great impact on a cultivator. It even affects whether you have the chance to transcend the tribulation crossing stage and become an immortal in the future.”

“Therefore, many smart cultivators will suppress their cultivation at this tier in order to allow themselves to comprehend more laws of Heaven & Earth.”

“The more laws they comprehend, the more stable their foundation will be.”

“The reason why I took a fancy to you back then was because your Dharma Idol Immortal Sword already had traces of Daoist Rhythm.”

“I have chosen you to be the Empire’s consort. Naturally, 1 hope that your future achievements will be as high as possible. That’s why I asked you to learn more Big Dipper sword intents.”

“However, in this process, you might encounter unimaginable difficulties.”

“Among these difficulties, the turmoil in one’s Dao heart is the most intense.”

“The more laws of Heaven & Earth you grasp, the more troubles you will have, and the more confused you will be.”

“I hope that you can stick to your heart and make a choice.”

“If possible, I hope you can surpass the current Daoist Xiang and learn more than thirty-one Big Dipper sword intents.”

“All right, I’ve said more or less what I need to say. As for whether you’re willing or not, it’s up to you.”

“What I want you to do isn’t complicated. You must first grasp enough Big Dipper sword intents and then become the Sword Master of a certain Sword Domain.”

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before asking, “May I ask which Sword Domain do you think I should go to first?”

Hearing this, Gu Qiuyue laughed.

This meant that Lu Yuan had agreed to her request.

“Among the three categories of sword intents, I think you should learn the Big Dipper sword intents that can improve your comprehension skills.”

“Although this will reduce your cultivation speed in the early stages, it will increase your potential in the later stages.”

“If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. There’s no problem in raising your comprehension first.”

“Understood. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty.”

Gu Qiuyue nodded in satisfaction, then told Lu Yuan about the Sword Domain he was going to next.

If it was possible, Gu Qiuyue even hoped that Lu Yuan could learn the Phoenix sword intent of the Speed Star Sword Domain first.

However, due to the special nature of the Phoenix Sword Domain, Lu Yuan could only wait until he reaches the Apotheosis Stage before starting to cultivate.

There were six such similar sword intent in the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains.

In other words, the current Lu Yuan could only learn at most thirty Big Dipper sword intents.

After learning which Sword Domain he was going to next, Lu Yuan set off very quickly.

After all, time waited for no one. He had never relaxed since he transmigrated.

His strong sense of crisis had always kept him extremely passionate about cultivation.

As for Gu Qiuyue’s arrangements for him, Lu Yuan did not have any objections.

A suggestion from an Ethereal Stage cultivator was naturally not bad.

Since the other party said that it would be better to increase his comprehension first, then he would just follow.

What was worth mentioning was that Gu Qiuyue had Lu Yuan learn sword intent to prepare for his breakthrough to the Apotheosis Stage.

This was because the mark of the Apotheosis Stage was to fuse with a certain Heaven & Earth Law.

And the process of Lu Yuan learning Big Dipper sword intents was also learning the laws of Heaven & Earth.

Leader Star Sword Domain.

Different from the Empire system of the Speed Star Sword Domain, the Leader Star Sword Domain had an academy system.

The largest organization in the entire Leader Star Sword Domain was the Chengfeng Academy located in the centre of the Leader Star Sword Domain.

The reason why it was called the Academy was that the way of the sword cultivated by the Leader Star Sword Domain was different from the ordinary way of the sword. It was a special Dao called the Sword of Truth.

In the entire thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains, the Sword of Truth was not unique. The Wisdom Star Sword Domain also cultivated the Sword of Truth.

However, although the two were both Swords of Truth, their Dao could be said to be completely opposite.

The Leader Star Sword Domain emphasized on letting nature take its course. Everything has a destiny, and humans could not change it.

The cultivation method was to conform with Heaven and Earth and feel being one with the heavens.

The Wisdom Star Sword Domain emphasized the study of things and knowledge. It advocated that as long as one studied everything seriously, one could find the laws within and man could conquer nature.

In Lu Yuan’s words, the Leader Star Sword Domain was equivalent to the territory of idealists, while the Wisdom Star Sword Domain was the territory of materialists.

Because of the difference in Dao, both sides often had some intense battles.

Intense Dao discussions often broke out between the Chengfeng Academy of the Leader Star Sword Domain and the Research Institute of the Wisdom Star Sword Region..
