A Dao path that was millions of miles long?
Senior lacked aptitude?
Then what about us?
Did that mean that they were simply trash in comparison?
Hong Yuanchu took a look at the Dao path he had opened up.
Before Chu Xuan had spoken those words, he had been very satisfied with the Dao path he had opened up.
After all, he was the foremost expert among his generation.
His Dao path was over a thousand miles long, and also a little more than a mile wide.
Compared to Ruoxian's five to six hundred miles, his Dao path was much more powerful.
However, compared to Chu Xuan's Dao path, it was nothing more than a meandering path.
Ruoxian was devastated. She had painstakingly opened up her Dao path and diligently comprehended the Great Dao, but fell short of Hong Yuanchu, and now felt like an ant in front of Chu Xuan.
Back then, she was one of the experts alongside Hong Yuanchu who had supported the human race in their rise to become the overlord race. Yet that all seemed insignificant now.
The other Daoyuan realm experts were all feeling the same. For the first time, they felt completely useless.
These talented and terrifying existences only found out today that they were frogs at the bottom of a well.
A Dao path that was millions of miles long…
What kind of concept was that?
They did not even dare to think about it.
Their ultimate goal and wish was only to open a Dao path that was tens of thousands of miles long.
In their eyes, that would already make them invincible among their peers.
However, their eyes' had been opened by Chu Xuan.
"Daoist Brother Chu, please accept my bow!"
Hong Yuanchu immediately knelt down!
Mo Tu and the others joined him.
Fellow Daoist Chu was a true super expert.
For them to be able to get to know Fellow Daoist Chu was indeed a great opportunity.
If even Fellow Daoist Chu had to pay attention to that mysterious great calamity, it could be seen how terrifying it was.
Hong Yuanchu and the others began to worry. With their limited strength, how could they survive the calamity?
They had to cling tightly to Fellow Daoist Chu's sode.
"You're too polite. Fellow Daoists, you're too polite."
Chu Xuan asked, "Fellow Daoists, what about your Dao paths? A few million miles should be very common, right?"
A few million miles, very common?
Hong Yuanchu and the others' eyes were bloodshot and their foreheads were sweating. Should they tell the truth or not? What if they were looked down upon?
What if Daoist Brother Chu felt that they were too useless and ignored them after that? What should they do then?
If they did not tell the truth, what if Daoist Brother Chu knew the truth? Would their friendship not evaporate after that?
Hong Yuanchu was at a loss.
Ruoxian spoke first.
"Speaking of that, I'm ashamed to say that my aptitude is too poor. Up until now, my Dao path is only about 600 kilometers long."
Ruoxian let out a long sigh.
...
No wonder they were scared out of his wits. The difference was between a few hundred kilometers and a few million kilometers!
Was opening up one's Dao path really that difficult?
After two Daoyuans, she had only opened up a Dao path that was a few hundred miles long?
"Fellow Daoist Ruoxian, don't be discouraged. A few hundred miles is already not bad."
Chu Xuan consoled her.
"Little Ruoxian, you are indeed quite useless, only six hundred miles."
Mo Tu mocked her.
Then he said, "My Dao path is 1,100 miles long, just ordinary."
Compared to Ruoxian, Mo Tu felt that he was extremely powerful.
Kun He opened up his Dao path later than the others. It was only 400 miles, the shortest of them all.
Hong Yuanchu's Dao path was 1,300 miles long, surpassing Mo Tu and the others.
The Soaring Flood Dragon King and Mo Tu were similar.
Mo Zhan and the others' Dao paths were all around 800 to 900 miles long.
Bing Luoxing's Dao path was 3,000 miles long.
As for Huang Long, Gui Ran, and Yi Yuejun, because they were creatures of the Great Dao, their Dao paths were special. It was based on how much power of the Great Dao they could use rather than the length and width of their Dao paths.
Chu Xuan sighed with emotion. Everyone had it hard, which encouraged them.
"How did Daoist Brother Chu open his Dao path?"
Hong Yuanchu asked.
For those who opened their Dao paths, the method they used was actually pretty much the same.
The key was talent and comprehension, or whether they had any special path-opening treasures to assist them.
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Opening the Dao path isn't difficult. I just use an axe."
An axe?
Hong Yuanchu and the others were all stunned.
Was one's Dao path opened like this?
Could it be that at that level, opening up one's Dao path was that easy?
Or had they not comprehended the true meaning of opening up the Dao path?
Hong Yuanchu and the others did not continue asking. After all, this was a secret.
No one would casually reveal it.
Chu Xuan chatted with them for a while and mentioned the great calamity from time to time. This made Hong Yuanchu and the others very nervous.
They also expressed that they would not be disturbed by the outside world and would focus on comprehending the Great Dao to prepare for the great calamity.
The chat then ended.
Chu Xuan looked at the system reward.
"The Chaos Path-opening Axe has the power to open a path in the chaos. It can slash through the Great Dao..."
After reading the description of the Chaos Path-opening Axe, Chu Xuan was pleasantly surprised. This was a supreme treasure.
A path-opening artifact!
He could use the axe to open up a Dao path that was longer and wider.
Moreover, it had a special function that could directly open a path in the chaos.
Chu Xuan had an idea.
The Chaos Path-opening Axe, together with the Heaven Splitting Brush and the Earth Creation Scripture, would be extremely useful.
Apart from opening a path, the Chaos Path-opening Axe's offensive power was also extremely powerful.
It could slash through the Great Dao.
If he were to use it to fight, he would be able to slash through the other party's Dao.
It seemed that bragging could also bring about great gains. This was a pleasant surprise.
He took out the Chaos Path-opening Axe. It looked very simple and unadorned. No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like a supreme treasure.
It looked more like an ordinary axe.
Putting it away, Chu Xuan turned his gaze back to the Western Zone.
After the Eastern Zone's Eastern Region was merged under the Heavenly Dao laws, the Heavenly Dao laws had established a foundation in the Eastern Zone.
However, the most pressing matter at the moment was the Western Zone.
The blood fiend race was a menace to everyone, and the cultivators there did not have a good way of dealing with them.
Although the situation seemed to be in a stalemate, Chu Xuan knew that as the Great Daoyuan calamity continued to advance, the blood fiend race would become stronger and stronger. The Western Zone's Northern Region was about to fall.
The Heavenly Dao laws continued to extend into the Western Zone's Western Region. Through the Heavenly Dao laws there, Chu Xuan saw an ancient battlefield that was about to descend into the Western Region, bringing with it more blood fiends.
"Perhaps, we can be more aggressive."
Chu Xuan pondered.
