C25 The More Mysterious the Godly Continent the More Mysterious It Became

"Senior Zi Jian, I..." Lin Feng wanted to ask a question, but was interrupted by Zi Jian, who shouted unhappily: "Call me Uncle Zi Jian, calling me senior is too unfamiliar."

"Eh...Alright, Uncle Zi Jian." Hearing that, Lin Feng smiled bitterly, and could only clasp his fists and call him uncle.

He was already a man with a grandson and was over 140 years old, yet he still had to call Zi Jian uncle. However, Zi Jian had lived for at least a thousand years, so it was fine to call him uncle.

"Lin Feng, if you have any questions, ask away." Zi Jian rolled up the sleeves of his robe and took another sip of the wine that Tang Youyou had brewed. It was very refreshing, and the Sect Master of the Sword Sect was full of praise for it.

Lin Feng did not want to disturb Zi Jian's peace of mind when he saw him. However, if he wanted to continue to advance his martial Tao, he had to get to the bottom of this.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng asked: "Uncle Zi Jian, can you tell Lin Feng why there is a chance to break through the Second Level Meaning of Dao and reach the Half-Step Holy Emperor just by grasping the cold flame?"

"What is the Second Level Meaning of Dao?"

Lin Feng suddenly asked the two questions that he wanted to know the most, causing Zi Jian's face to freeze. He glanced at Lin Feng's curious face and then fell into deep thought.

As time passed, Zi Jian did not speak other than drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, but Lin Feng did not know and waited patiently.

After a full ten minutes, Zi Jian sighed. He finished a jar of wine and laughed, "Delicious, give me another jar."

"Here." Lin Feng was not a petty person. He threw out three jars of wine and placed them on the surface of the lake.

Zi Jian grabbed a jar of wine and took another big gulp. He then slowly said: "Lin Feng, after you devour the cold flame, you can strengthen your Tao Meaning of Fire, which will help you break through your Second Level Meaning of Fire Tao."

"As for your question, I can't give you an accurate answer. This requires your own comprehension, and as for what your Second Level Meaning of Tao is, you also need to understand it yourself, but I can tell you what my Second Level Meaning of Tao is."

"I would like to hear the details" Lin Feng curled his lips and smiled as he looked at Zi Jian.

Zi Jian nodded his head and raised the wine jar high up in the air. With a bang, all the wine in the wine jar spilled out, and the wine jar shattered.

Lin Feng was shocked. He did not know what Zi Jian meant, but in the next moment, Lin Feng's eyes focused slightly. He saw that the wine did not fall, but instead gathered into a ball. Zi Jian waved his left hand and a Sword Light flashed. The ball of wine was cut into two balls, four, eight, and countless balls. In the end, it turned into a drop of wine.

Zi Jian casually pinched it and the drop of wine appeared in his hand. Immediately after, the drop of wine was sent flying by Zi Jian and flew straight towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pinched the wine with his left hand and it instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.

Lin Feng was shocked. At the same time, he looked at Zi Jian with a puzzled expression.

Zi Jian, on the other hand, laughed heartily. He opened his mouth wide and drank all the wine in the sky. He pursed his lips and praised the wine.

"Uncle Zi Jian, what is the meaning of this?" Lin Feng looked at the wine droplet in his hand that had turned into smoke, then looked at Zi Jian.

"This is my second level of Tao Meaning. I can stop time and space, and of course you can too, but can you stop a flower, a blade of grass, and a tree in space and time?"

"I can do it. Many experts can do macroscopic control, such as controlling the entire space, but they can't control microscopic things. I just controlled the drop of water to make it stop, but time is still flowing as usual, not moving parallel to the drop of water. I can say that this is my Second Level Meaning of Tao."

Zi Jian slowly said. Lin Feng squinted his eyes as he tried to understand Zi Jian's words. He felt that he was not far from breaking through to the Half-Step Holy Emperor.

The Second Level Meaning of Tao was the sublimation after one had grasped the Tao Meaning. From macro control to micro control, the more micro the better, it proved that the Second Level Meaning of Tao was more and more profound.

And since Zi Jian was able to move time and space and control so well, it meant that Zi Jian's Second Level Meaning of Dao was already extremely profound. No wonder even though they were both Half-Step Holy Emperors, Zi Jian was able to injure Tian Han with a single sword strike, causing Tian Ao to not dare to act rashly.

Zi Jian looked at Lin Feng's thoughtful expression and smiled faintly. It seemed that Lin Feng was indeed a monster with astonishing talent in comprehension.

"Lin Feng, this is the Second Level Meaning of Tao. I see that the Yuan Qi in your body is purer and more fragmented, but there are a lot of Meaning of Tao. I'm afraid it's Forbidden Body?"

Zi Jian looked at Lin Feng and asked slowly.

Hearing that, Lin Feng nodded his head. Since Zi Jian could tell him so much about the Tao Meaning of Martial Tao, it meant that he did not have any ulterior motives towards him, and he could also see through his physique. There was no need for him to lie anymore.

"So that's how it is. Nine out of ten is already the best physique, but I didn't expect you to still be a Forbidden Body. It seems that if I give you time, you will definitely become the master of this Divine Land."

Zi Jian couldn't help but sigh when he saw Lin Feng nod his head.

When Lin Feng heard Zi Jian's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Zi Jian in confusion and asked, "Controller? What do you mean by controller?"

"Hmm? You don't know who the controller is?"

Lin Feng's words startled Zi Jian slightly. He looked at Lin Feng in surprise, but Lin Feng shook his head in confusion. He really didn't know what a ruler was, he only knew that he was a Ruler in the Nine Empyreans Continent.

"It seems that you do not have a very strong background, or else it is impossible that you do not know the controller. Well, today you call me uncle, and I will tell you this, which few people know."

Zi Jian nodded. After that, he drank another jar of wine and spoke slowly.

"In Divine Land, Half-Step Holy Emperors are experts in various fields and can also be said to be mainstream. After that, there are Holy Emperors with Initial Success and Great Perfection Holy Emperors. If we reach the last two levels, we can call them Punishers."

"Punisher?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, remembering it in his heart.

"That's right, the Holy Emperor with Initial Success is the Minor Punisher, and the Great Perfection Holy King is the Major Punisher." Zi Jian nodded and replied with a smile.

"What about the controller?" Lin Feng asked.

"The controller is the title of a supreme expert who has transcended the Holy Emperor Level. Anyone who has surpassed the Great Perfection Holy Emperor is called the controller, but there are very few controllers on the Divine Land. We don't even know where they are."

As Zi Jian spoke, his face was filled with reverence and emotion, causing Lin Feng to faintly feel that this Divine Land was not simple.

"Uncle Zi Jian, are the Hall Lords of the various Great Temples the controllers?" Lin Feng asked again.

"No, the Hall Lords of the various Great Temples are only punishers." Zi Jian shook his head when he heard Lin Feng's words. In fact, this was also what puzzled him. The power of the Holy Hall was already very strong, but their Hall Lord was still at the Holy Emperor Level and had not surpassed the Holy Emperor, which puzzled him.

If even the Hall Lord of the Holy Hall was only at the Holy Emperor Level, then where exactly was the expert who surpassed the Holy Emperor? No one knew.

Hearing Zi Jian's reply, Lin Feng was deep in thought.

"Uncle Zi Jian, is there a Ruler in Divine Land?"

Lin Feng asked the question he wanted to ask the most. Since there were disciplines and controllers, was there a Ruler or not? Was he a Ruler in the Nine Empyreans Continent?

However, he didn't expect that Lin Feng's question would cause Zi Jian to laugh out loud. There was a trace of helplessness and ridicule in his laughter.

"You brat, it seems like you really don't know anything." Zi Jian smiled with emotion. He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said to Lin Feng, "You brat, you are already a Ruler. How come you don't know anything?"

"Am I really a Ruler?" Hearing Zi Jian's words, Lin Feng was shocked.

"Of course. Although the Sovereign Holy King has not become a Holy Emperor Level, he can already rule over the world. He can naturally be considered a Ruler. When you become a Half-Step Holy Emperor, you will be a Ruler."

Zi Jian's explanation allowed Lin Feng to completely understand the level of cultivation above the Martial Tao.

Sovereign Holy King and Half-Step Holy Emperor were Rulers.

The Holy Emperor with Initial Success and the Great Perfection Holy Emperor were punishers, and above the Holy Emperor was the controller.

So that's how it was.

"Uncle Zi Jian, you're a Ruler too." Lin Feng smiled and asked Zi Jian.

"Yeah, I'm a Ruler now, but I'm about to break through to the Holy Emperor with Initial Success and become a Punisher."

Zi Jian laughed out wildly with confidence, causing Lin Feng to become excited as well. The world of Martial Tao was vast and endless, and cultivation was like a ladder with no end in sight.

Half-Step Holy Emperor, Lin Feng firmly believed that he would be able to reach it very soon.

Lin Feng's face was filled with determination as he clenched his fists.

At this moment, Zi Jian finished the last jar of wine, and with a shake of his arms, he stood up and smiled at Lin Feng: "Alright, Lin Feng, our fate ends here. I believe that not long from now, you will come to the east of the God Domain, and come to my Sword Sect. I will wait for you."

"Take care, Uncle Zi Jian." Lin Feng waved his hand and shouted at Zi Jian.

"Lin Feng, come to the Sword Sect. You will find a lot of old acquaintances. Goodbye."

Zi Jian laughed heartily and disappeared from the river, causing Lin Feng's eyes to tremble.

"He must know my identity!"

The last sentence made Lin Feng come to a sudden realization. Zi Jian definitely knew that he came from the Nine Empyreans Continent.

But what surprised Lin Feng even more was that the Nine Empyreans Continent was indeed not closed. There were many experts who had already explored this Divine Land.

A lot of old acquaintances? Who exactly was it?

He remembered that the god had also said that he would find his old friend after he went to the God Domain Holy Hall.

Zi Jian had also said the same.

What kind of existence was Divine Land?

[Note: Those who surpass the Sovereign Holy King level are above the Divine level. Half-Step Holy Emperors are fully known as Half-Step Holy Emperors, and Holy Emperors with Initial Success are all known as Small Success Holy Emperors, and so on. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the level system that I have set. Everything is going according to the original.]
