Chapter 699: The Grand Elders visit (1/2)
Shun Long was about to take Liu Mei and the rest and leave the arena, but just as he stepped past the arena's entrance, the figure of a tall, white-robed old man with long white hair suddenly appeared in front of him.
Shun Long and the others were all surprised to see the Grand Elder appear in front of them like this, but the Grand Elder simply smiled as he looked at Shun Long and said in an amiable tone
''Kid, come with me a bit.''
The Grand Elder then stretched out his right hand, opening up a large space tear.
Shun Long could feel an irresistible force coming from the space tear in front of him, one that he couldn't even resist with his Dao of Time or his own Dao of Space.
''The Grand Elder's attainments in the Dao of Space don't seem to be low either.''
As he reached this conclusion, Shun Long didn't try to resist this pulling force, allowing his body to step inside the space tear.
Liu Mei, Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian, and Xingyi, all closed their eyes as well, as they allowed the pulling force of the space tear to pull them inside, before their bodies all disappeared from the arena's entrance.
Surprisingly, as he opened his eyes, Shun Long found himself inside a familiar courtyard.
There were even stalks of 'dragonblood grass' on the ground that Little Silver usually ate.
Waving his hand, the Grand Elder then took out a bunch of meditative cushions from his spatial ring, and after sitting on one of them himself, he placed the rest around Shun Long, Bai Longtian and the others and said
''Have a seat.''
Shun Long nodded as he sat on one of the meditative cushions as well, before he turned his gaze towards the Grand Elder.
Naturally, he wasn't surprised that the Grand Elder would be able to ignore the restrictions of the courtyards and enter Shun Long's courtyard.
Even if he wasn't the Grand Elder, Shun Long guessed that this was a piece of cake for any peak rank 9 Dao Emperor realm expert.
Instead, Shun Long was slightly surprised that the Grand Elder had also comprehended the Dao of Space.
Opening up a tiny space tear was something that even average Spirit realm cultivators could do without too much trouble, but creating a space tear and utilizing it properly were 2 completely different matters.
Shun Long could sense that the Grand Elder's attainments in the Dao of Space were much higher than his own.
Almost as if he could guess Shun Long's thoughts, the Grand Elder smiled and said
''Although I have also comprehended a bit of the Dao of Space as well, it's only a secondary Dao to me. My level of comprehension in it has barely reached the level of a peak Dao King.
It may look impressive on the outside, but it's actually useless for me to try and use the Dao of Space to fight against other Dao Emperors.
Instead, my most powerful Dao is my Dao of Ice. Unfortunately, the Dao of Ice is considered to be a rare Dao, making it much harder for me to get past the final stretch and break through to reach the Sovereign realm.''
The Grand Elder sighed as he said the last sentence, while his eyes seemed to have turned slightly hazy.
''A rare Dao?'' Shun Long was surprised to hear that Daos were actually classified like that. Although he had heard back in the arena the other outer court disciples saying that he had comprehended a supreme Dao, Shun Long had thought that the reason behind that was because those disciples couldn't discern what Dao he had truly comprehended.
Nodding his head, the Grand Elder looked at Shun Long and answered seriously
''Right. Every Dao is different after all, and Daos themselves also have different grades.
Certain Daos like the Dao of Water, the Dao of Fire, the Dao of Earth and the Dao of Wind are only considered to be common Daos, while Daos like my Dao of Ice, the Dao of Lightning, the Dao of Metal and others at the same level, are considered to be rare Daos.
Above rare Daos are the unique Daos, like the Dao of Destruction, the Demonic Dao, the Dao of Darkness, the Dao of Shadows and others, while even higher than the unique Daos are the Supreme-grade Daos. Supreme Daos like the Dao of Life, the Dao of Death, the Dao of Space and others, are extremely powerful Daos that very few geniuses manage to comprehend in their lives.
Of course, even unique level Daos are extremely difficult to comprehend let alone supreme-level ones.
