43 Magic, Martial and Sword Path (The Ultimate Path)

"There are several things that you can't learn with your strength but I can help with some basic knowledge. Supreme Sword Sect holds the Ten Supreme Sword Daos. These daos are very hard to master without any enlightenment. For Supreme Sword Sect, I won't explain much because I've already left those into my sect inheritance."

"But before you inherit the Supreme Sword Sect, you just need to realize, you don't have many enemies for your sect. Except for some who escaped, I killed all of those people who could show potential danger to my sect. Of course, this doesn't mean your journey is going to be smooth. You'll realize it after you inherit my inheritance."

"Now, let me explain some basic knowledge you might need in your journey. First, that War God Bloodline of yours, you need to find its source if you really want to stick with it. The source of this bloodline lies in White Tiger Galaxy, but it is very hard to find it."

"There are several flaws in your body, first of all, you have refined your strength and trained properly with it. There is a huge mountain-like strength stagnant in your body, you need to utilize it, if you believe me then, Desolate Fighting Art is the best way. You can't perfect this art by enlightenment; it is only art which needs a real fight to develop."

"Your Magic is much better than your Martial Path, but you still need to search for rare treasures that can increase your qualification. You should replace your current energy absorption art with Heaven Defying Star Force Art. This will not only make your body stronger but you will also walk in the path of Heaven Deviant."

"Heaven Deviants are abnormally strong for a certain realm. They are no longer in the scope of genius, but they do suffer a lot. Only a few can remain till the higher realm before their demise. Heaven Deviants are normally punished by the gods, and heaven, so you need to suffer thunder tribulation in each breakthrough of the greater realm."

"Of course, you have a certain advantage. This advantage comes with Chaos Bearing Elephant Art. This art will increase your physical strength beyond the scope of your cultivation realm which will be a great help while passing the tribulation."

"Now let's talk about your Battle Arts since you already have so many arts, I suggest you not to practice any more arts. Once you reach Martial Magician Realm, you can forget unnecessary arts, and use Enlightenment Stone. Then, from that moment on, you should start creating a Battle Art that is comprised of Mana, Spiritual Energy, and Sword."

"Of course, you can also practice Spear Art for your Martial Path, and also practice Magic Spells, but it is necessary to merge Sword with either Magic or Martial Path. I know you don't want to practice sword, but you'll eventually fall in love with this. You may use Spear in many circumstances, but mainly you should only focus on Sword."

"Now, before talking about the next or final trial, I want to ask again. Would you like to be the Sect Master of Supreme Sword Sect, and recreate its glory?" The sect master asked with pleading eyes. His last hope was Johnny, so he hopes Johnny would like this.

Suddenly, A.I.'s voice rang in his mind "Host should agree. A.I. has checked through all the documents related to the sect and found the managing the sect is not very hard. Here, the Host isn't losing anything instead; you'll earn huge resources for yourself. As for the sect, your cultivation will decide the sect condition."

Though A.I. wasn't completely true, he wasn't completely wrong. Johnny was left in deep thought, unlike the previous time, he didn't reject. He felt he needed someone's advice in his cultivation which he got today, even though it wasn't much but he still got some.

After thinking for twenty minutes, Johnny looked at the eyes of the spirit with a serious face and bow down "I accept the inheritance of Supreme Sword Sect. I'll be the next Supreme Sword Sect Master and recreate its glory."

"Haha, good, good, good" The spirit had spiritual tears flowing out of his eyes, his happiness couldn't be measured. He couldn't force Johnny since he was just the Sword Will, even if he has strong power, he can't move against Johnny.

He needed someone to whom he truly entrusts his sect, though Johnny's mind has no interest in the sect building, he still needs resources, so he accepted. As for recreating its glory, it isn't hard work if his cultivation rises.

"This is my gift for you" Suddenly, the spirit finger flick, and the ring flew toward Johnny's mind. In no time, it entered his Inner Space. It released strange energy and completely merges with his soul. His A.I. couldn't even respond to this speed.

"A.I. scan this ring" Johnny was a little worried, so he shouted inside his mind.

After a few seconds, A.I.'s voice rang in his mind "Sorry Host, but the current strength of A.I. can't interfere near this ring."

"Don't blame you but try your hardest even if you have to utilize chaotic points to gain power." Johnny had a little headache for this but he still keeps his calm in front of the spirit.

"This is just the model I created for my inheritor. That ring has artificial intelligence that will help you to manage sect. It will constantly release tasks and give you rewards according to the level of your task. There are other many functions; you can later find them after walking out of this trial."

"From now, the next trial is not under my jurisdiction. It was decided by that treasure spirit after absorbing energy from my dead body. This treasure is something beyond the realms of our Universe; try your best to succeed on this trial."

"My plan to recreate my sect is under that ring, so I don't have to explain. As for other knowledge, I lied to you. You need to work hard and grow, facing countless challenges, learning more about this world. Only then, you can be considered a true cultivator. But I do want to explain, Magic Path, Martial Path, and Sword Path before my remaining 'will' is consumed."

"Magic Path is a path filled with Mana and Spirits. Those creatures that hold the Supreme Mana are called beloved children of Heaven. In other words, the Magic Path is the path that is loved by Heaven, supported by Heaven, and suppressed by Heaven. The magician uses Mana to increase their lifespan, they do not temper their body, soul, and essence. But since they are endlessly loved by Mana, they evolve their lifespan. Yes, they do not increase their lifespan but they evolve."

"For now, you don't need to know much about Magicians, except the fact about them. Unless you are a higher race form or magician with high cultivation, your lifespan won't be high as Martial Artist."

"Just opposite to Magic Path, Martial Path is the path against Heaven. It doesn't mean Heaven hates Martial Arts, but they hate when Martial Artist changes rules of Heaven by increasing their lifespan and walking away from death. This is also the reason for powerful cultivators to be arrogant, this nature wasn't human nature. It was installed by heaven's conspiracy, so now Martial Artists bears Seven Sins, not completely real though, just imitation of those emotions."

"So, when Martial Artists reaches a certain realm, they need to go through the tribulation. They train their body, soul, and essence to the very high realm for increasing their lifespan. This is the Martial Path."

"Finally, The Sword Path is completely different from any other path. This path is no longer on the scope of the universe. What is the sword? What does it do? Sword is a weapon, and it slashes. It cuts everything. This is the meaning of the Sword, to cut apart everything including Life and Death. The Sword Path cuts the Life and Death or Karma or any other daos connected to them. This is the meaning of the sword. When you cut Life and Death, you'll be stagnant at the same age for all your life."

"But if you can't go further in this path, you'll once again be targeted by Life and Death. Once that happens, unless you increase your Sword Realm, and cut Life and Death once again, you'll eventually meet death. Sword God is the realm where you can completely cut Life and Death linked with you, but you can still meet death by an external force such as killed by other or repulsion in your Sword Realm."

"Because Life and Death are maintained by Heaven, it will regenerate once again even if you cut it. So, in another sense, unless you cut apart Heaven, you'll be always hunted with Life and Death. So, you need to cut it again, and again. Of course, forming Life and Death needs time, so you don't need to cut it in a short time."

"This is all I can tell. Goodbye Johnny, I hope you'll recreate the glory of Supreme Sword Sect." The Spirit slowly dissipated in the air, making Johnny a little sad. Even if you reach the Sword God realm, you can't escape death.

Suddenly, everything around him changes. He appeared in the new world. His surrounding was little with magma currently bursting out of the mountain. There were several thunderclouds rumbling in the sky. There were sea tides rising from another end.

"Roarrrr"

Suddenly, a wild roar trembled in the surrounding. A creature with the wing flies from behind the volcano. It was like a giant lizard but covered with red-scales. It had four legs, and pair of long wings. Its four legs had long claws, and its head was like a devilish being, breathing fire out of its mouth. This was none other than a legendary, fire dragon.

Seeing this, Johnny spit two words out of his mouth "F**king Hell"
