Chapter 470: Chapter 186 First Arrival and a Sparring Match, Golden Heart Sword Defeats Gu Nian! Ordinary Dao Foundation Not to be Feared! _3

To possess a single law is definitely the mark of a powerful Dao Foundation cultivator.

Comprehending a law is not an easy task.

Many Dao Foundation cultivators spend their entire lives unable to comprehend any law.

Eventually, they return to their sects to "retire" in defeat.

Take Huang Jiufeng, Xu Haotian’s master, whom Lu Changsheng killed earlier. He was actually one such Dao Foundation martial artist who returned to the Yellow Heaven Sect to "retire."

He spent years exploring the third level of the Ancient Domain, only to fail to comprehend a single law.

In the end, he had no choice but to return to the Yellow Heaven Sect and take Xu Haotian as his disciple.

Simply put, someone like Huang Jiufeng is a weakling among Dao Foundation cultivators, utterly inconsequential.

Lu Changsheng originally thought he would be at the bottom of the hierarchy upon entering the Ancient Domain’s third level.

But that wasn’t the case.

His mental domain, having previously comprehended so many Fusion Domains, naturally became much stronger.

On top of that, his Golden Heart Sword was powerful enough to defeat Gu Nian.

Lu Changsheng’s overall strength places him among the very best of Dao Foundation cultivators who have yet to comprehend a law.

He was far from being at the bottom, contrary to his earlier assumptions.

"The so-called clash between Dao Foundation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, even that slight superiority of Dao Foundation over Foundation Establishment, is based on Dao Foundation cultivators who possess laws."

"A Dao Foundation cultivator with or without law is a completely different matter."

Lu Changsheng understood now.

No wonder Huang Jiufeng had been so restrained when Zhong Yu, the Hall Master, made his move—even though he was enraged, he didn’t dare retaliate against Zhong Yu.

The reason was simple: Zhong Yu possessed laws!

Although the exact number—be it one or two laws—was unknown, it was clear that he far exceeded someone like Huang Jiufeng, a weakling among Dao Foundation cultivators.

"I must quickly comprehend a law."

"Without a law, a Dao Foundation cultivator will remain insignificant in the Ancient Domain’s third level."

Lu Changsheng understood this deeply.

While there are many Dao Foundation cultivators, only those who have comprehended a law can truly be considered strong.

Otherwise, the third level of the Ancient Domain would always remain perilous.

The third level, near the Heavenly Sect’s base within the Ancient Domain.

Though there was no Exchange Hall here, bartering—particularly for Heavenly Demon Essence Blood—was quite common.

Here, many Dao Foundation cultivators frequently traded Heavenly Demon Essence Blood for other items.

For instance, one might comprehend the Flame Law but slay an ice-attribute Heavenly Demon, acquiring a drop of ice-attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.

What then?

The solution was simple: trade it with other Dao Foundation cultivators for fire-attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.

Thus, Heavenly Demon Essence Blood was critical.

"Time to head out..."

Lu Changsheng made up his mind.

In the third level of the Ancient Domain, few choose to form teams.

Teaming up certainly offers safety.

However, how would one distribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood?

After all, a single Heavenly Demon typically produces only one drop of its most vital essence blood.

The rest of the essence blood is practically useless.

And it’s common to search for months without encountering a single Heavenly Demon.

If one were to team up, it might take years or even decades to obtain a single drop of Heavenly Demon Essence Blood.

The efficiency is simply too low!

Thus, most Dao Foundation cultivators prefer to act alone.

As for searching for Heavenly Demon clues?

That’s even more challenging.

No one leaks information about Heavenly Demons.

Even if unable to kill one presently, one could still pay a price later to arrange an alliance to take it down.

There’s no way anyone would spread such news widely.

To hunt and slay Heavenly Demons and obtain their essence blood, one must rely on their own luck.

However, Lu Changsheng hadn’t been idle during his time at the base.

At the very least, he knew under what circumstances Heavenly Demons could appear.

It’s actually quite simple: wherever there’s a large gathering of demonic creatures, there’s bound to be Heavenly Demons!

Heavenly Demons can be seen as the aristocrats of the demonic creatures.

Take the Barbaric Bull Demons, for instance—a distinct tribe.

Within the tribe, there’s a chance for a Wild Bull Heavenly Demon to emerge.

This Wild Bull Heavenly Demon, awakened with talent, can partially harness the power of the earth. Its strength is terrifying.

In this way, Wild Bull Heavenly Demons essentially become the aristocrats among Barbaric Bull Demons.

Most demon tribes contain Heavenly Demons, and often in considerable numbers.

But as demon tribes suggest, they also host multitudes of demonic creatures.

Each demonic creature’s power isn’t insignificant.

Caught in their siege, even a Dao Foundation cultivator who has comprehended a law might perish.

"Right now, I need fire-attribute Heavenly Demon Essence Blood."

"That means heading to Flame Mountain."

"There, with year-round extreme heat, many fire-attribute demonic creatures live in Flame Mountain, greatly increasing the odds of encountering fire-attribute Heavenly Demons."

Lu Changsheng decided his destination—Flame Mountain!

After five days, Lu Changsheng felt the increasingly scalding heat in the air.

It was as though waves of heat were pressing against him.

Lu Changsheng knew he had arrived at his destination.

"Flame Mountain!"

Lu Changsheng lifted his gaze, spotting a mountain in the distance.

From afar, the mountain appeared to be engulfed in flames, burning fiercely.

However, that wasn’t actual fire.

Rather, it was a unique environmental phenomenon.

In fact, within a thousand-mile radius of Flame Mountain, this situation persisted.

Extreme heat and high temperatures.

By all accounts, it’s an inhospitable place for any plant life.

Making it unsuitable for most living creatures.

Yet, certain unique demonic creatures thrive here.

Fire-attribute demonic creatures, in particular, are drawn to such environments, resulting in many gathering at Flame Mountain.

Many Dao Foundation and Foundation Establishment cultivators occasionally come to Flame Mountain for battles against the demonic creatures.

"Battling with demonic creatures serves no purpose."

"My target is Heavenly Demons! Hence, I must avoid combat with demonic creatures whenever possible!"
