Heaven Refining physique

Greetings, dear guest, which chamber would you like to book?"

Jiang Hao didn't have any clue about their value or specifications, so he just decided to get their best room. "Your best room," he said.

The maid was a little surprised. Looking at Jiang Hao's robes, she was sure he couldn't afford it. The value of the best room was very high, not because of its specifications but to prevent just anyone from using it. These rooms were a matter of symbol and pride.

Now she was in a dilemma. As a maid, she couldn't reject someone's choice just because she wanted to. "Dear guest, the best rooms are very expensive. Are you sure?"

Jiang Hao understood what was going on in her mind. He really looked poor, and it seemed Senior Yao looked the same in people's eyes if they paid any attention to her. "Just give me it. You don't have to worry about something like that," he said.

The maid sighed. Whatever, there were various ways to make a Soul Sea Realm cultivator pay even if he didn't have spirit stones. "Please come with me," she said.

Her voice sounded a little reluctant in tone, but Jiang Hao didn't care about it and followed her along with Yao Ying.

They went through a lightly lit corridor before climbing the stairs to the second floor. They stopped in front of a room, and the maid opened it.

The room was big, and there was a light fragrance in it. Jiang Hao didn't know what caused this fragrance, but it was really soothing. The whole room was open and they ca see the back side of this pavilion, it was similar filled will lakes and flowers.

"Please take a seat. Which tea would you like?" the maid asked.

Jiang Hao looked at her calmly. "Again, your best one."

The maid wasn't surprised this time, as she was expecting this. She really didn't care how he would deal with it later. The most expensive tea they had was Misty Spring Tea, priced at 40,000 normal spirit stones per pouch. A single pouch could only brew two cups' worth of tea. Along with the room for one hour, it would total 60,000 spirit stones.

The maid bowed and left.

"Why are you practicing the sword's way? Just for revenge?" Yao Ying had seen him practice the sword's way, but he didn't seem very enthusiastic about it.

She knew the story of Senior Hu Tian from Senior Yin Ni, but she didn't understand why he wanted to follow the sword's way when he wasn't enthusiastic about it.

Jiang Hao was surprised by this question. He had decided to follow the sword's way just because he wanted to take revenge for Senior Hu Tian. The Sword Harmony Sect was a sword cultivation sect, so it would feel more complete.

Personally, he really didn't feel much need to use a sword. His technique and style didn't match. In fact, he felt better without any weapon.

"Yes, Senior, it is for revenge. I wanted to use a sword against them as they are sword practitioners," he replied.

"Why, though? I doubt it will change anything. There are far better sword cultivators in this world, so I doubt they will feel any remorse in losing against you.

Unless you announce to the world that you are going to take revenge for Senior Hu Tian as his disciple, are you his disciple?"

Jiang Hao sighed and shook his head.

Just as he did that, the maid arrived again with a pot of tea and two cups. She started to brew the tea in front of them.

The whole room filled with the fragrance of the tea, but it was nowhere near what Jiang Hao had smelled from the tea Senior Yao brewed with only one leaf.

The maid served the tea and left. Jiang Hao picked up his cup, and Yao Ying did the same.

"Your approach is wrong. To follow any path, you have to have an inherent liking for it. Once you really start walking the path of Sword Dao after crossing its mortal realms, you will understand that you won't be able to make progress, even with your supreme comprehension.

Epiphanies are the only way to advance effectively in the path of Dao, and you will never get an epiphany easily for a path you don't like.

No doubt, your physique is able to absorb laws, and I am quite sure that it will improve even further at the Heavenly King Realm, but only absorbing laws won't help you reach the true peak of any path. The path of Dao is far more intricate than you think."

Jiang Hao looked at his hands. No doubt, he never felt the need to use any other laws. He picked the sword's way for revenge because he felt he had a lot of time.

He never felt restricted or time-bound. One day, he would reach the top of the world as long as he stayed alive.

"Also, let me tell you about Dao Ancestors a bit," Yao Ying took a sip and continued. "Dao Ancestor is the last realm achievable in the cultivation path. Everyone can become a Dao Ancestor if they have supreme talent, will, and have walked their path without ever faltering.

But there is another realm, or maybe a designation, which only a few people can achieve if they don't have special constitutions: True Dao Ancestors.

For each single law, only one True Dao Ancestor can exist in the world. How it is decided, you can learn later, but no matter how many Daos you follow, you can only reach the peak in one Dao. Of course, it is different for your Refinement Dao. You will reach the peak of Refinement Dao even if someone else is holding it.

But it's impossible to reach the peak of a supreme Dao without a physique, so all those seats are empty."

Jiang Hao was surprised by this information. "Senior, wouldn't that mean those who have special constitutions can take the seat of any other Dao, as them reaching the top in their path is not equal to having a seat?"

"Yes, indeed. So, choose another Dao wisely instead of picking multiple Daos, as they won't reach the peak no matter what you do. And if your other Daos don't reach the peak, there is no point in cultivating them in the first place."

Jiang Hao understood what she was implying. It was similar to how Senior Yin Ni had told him that he really didn't need the versatility of multiple laws when he could easily overcome any enemy with his Refinement Law.
