Chapter 33 (2/2)

“Ever since the Heavenly Tao distorted, countless predecessors sacrificed themselves to extract, refine, and organize the knowledge from the millions of distorted, evil bits of knowledge. They compiled them into Divine Maps, which are shortcuts of Tao practice.

“There are eleven realms to Tao practice. You choose a corresponding Divine Map in every realm, which lasts throughout your practice and allows you to improve continuously.”

As he said this, Lu Chongyang magnified the nine Divine Maps, “The nine Divine Maps before you are the nine basic Divine Maps that you can choose in Primordial Realm, when your Degree of Taoification is between zero percent and nine percent.

“Which Divine Map you choose out of the nine will determine your path for Tao practice in the future. The Divine Maps that you can choose in later realms will also differ completely.

“Everyone can choose only one basic Divine Map in their whole life. They cannot practice anything else. Therefore, you must choose carefully. Now, I’ll explain the differences between these nine Divine Maps…”

Zhou Bai was listening to Lu Chongyang’s narration when Christina, who had been balled up previously, said in his mind, “Zhou Bai, choose the Sword Map.”

“Why?” asked Zhou Bai. “I wanted to ask you before. In my auxiliary system, the Divine Map is Deva Nine Disasters. Can I still practice other Divine Maps?”

“No, you can’t practice any other Divine Maps,” shouted Christina. “But I remembered, and I can practice them. And my Divine Map equals your Divine Map. If I practice it, then it’s the same as you practicing it.”

“Is it true?” Zhou Bai looked dubious. “That sounds incredible.”

“Of course it’s true!” Christina promised. “Why would someone as cute as me lie to you?”

Zhou Bai didn’t agree with Christina immediately. He decided to choose after he listened to Lu Chongyang’s lesson.

He heard Lu Chongyang describe the special characteristics and future directions of the nine basic Divine Maps. Then he explained the method of practice for the Divine Maps.

“Each Divine Map is not just a mere drawing. It’s the fruit of the collaborative effort of deities in Paradise and distinguished human practitioners. They expended enormous amounts of energy and resources to condense the knowledge of the Heavenly Tao.

“Only in sacred lands for practice like Donghua Tao Academy can we provide a Divine Map to every student.

“Even these nine basic Divine Maps are worth tens of thousands in the outside world. These Maps cannot be bought with money because they represent the door to entering the Tao.”

As he said this, Lu Chongyang made a Knife Map float out. The next moment, the Divine Map became scattered light spots. Then the light spots swirled and formed into a Divine Map again.

“After injecting the Divine Maps into your cognitive seas, they will combine with your primordial spirits and turn into Taiyi Discs. After you inject primordial spirit power into the Taiyi Disc, you can…”

Hearing Lu Chongyang’s detailed narration, Zhou Bai finally understood how you practice with Divine Maps. It was indeed a simplified method of practice. It saved a lot of time for the practitioners.

It was like allowing the practitioners to run on a set path. They just had to choose different Divine Maps in every realm and improve according to the Divine Maps.

The class gradually listened to Lu Chongyang’s narration. Finally, it was time to choose their Divine Maps.

The other students had been practicing Tao for years. They knew more or less the importance of Divine Maps, and most had already chosen a Divine Map to practice.

Lu Chongyang pulled out the Divine Maps and injected them into the students’ cognitive seas one by one. Then he sat with his legs crossed and eyes shut, sensing the changes in their cognitive seas.

Only Zhou Bai looked at the nine Divine Maps before him with an expression of contemplation.

In the end, when Zhou Bai was the only one who hadn’t made a decision, Lu Chongyang looked at Zhou Bai and smiled kindly. “What’s wrong, Zhou Bai? You still haven’t decided which one to choose?”

Zhou Bai recalled the descriptions of the Divine Maps, “Best for slaughter, speed is its specialty…”

“Teacher, I choose the Sword Map.”
