Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 400 Source Ground of Dao Principle

```

"A Tenth Rank Expert? How could such a level of expert enter this place?" Tang Qingyu asked in astonishment.

In her memory, Tenth Rank Experts were legendary existences. There were simply no such experts in the Human Realm.

However, Xu Ping’an was aware that the Human Realm was not as simple as he had thought.

The Human Realm was like a small-looking lake, yet it was very deep.

"They come here naturally to find a way to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. It is said that this path may very well be in the Heavenly Star Palace," replied the Seventh Rank Expert.

Again, searching for the path of the Immortal Emperor?

It seemed these experts had not given up on becoming of Immortal Emperor Level.

However, that made sense; had he been in his previous life, and there existed a realm above Immortal Emperor, he certainly would have tried everything to find a way to break through.

"Why is it said that the path of the Immortal Emperor is in the Heavenly Star Palace?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

What was so different about this Heavenly Star Palace?

"I’m not sure of the specifics, but I heard that the esteemed one came here to find a method to open the Source Ground," the Seventh Rank Expert said.

Source Ground?

Tang Qingyu looked puzzled.

But Xu Ping’an’s pupils constricted.

The so-called Source Ground was actually the Source Ground of Dao Principles.

Xu Ping’an from a previous life had seen records of the Source Ground of Laws in an ancient book.

However, the contents were very vague. It was said that the power of Dao Principles all originated from the Source Ground of Dao Principles.

But it was said that the Source Ground of Dao Principles had disappeared a long time ago, and now these experts wanted to reopen it?

Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but be greatly shocked in his heart.

If the Source Ground of Dao Principles were truly to reappear, perhaps it would indeed be possible to reopen the path to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Allowing many Immortal Emperors to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

"To open the Source Ground of Dao Principles, what method is needed, or what item is required?" Xu Ping’an asked.

The Cultivator from Purple Thunder Heaven shook his head and said, "I don’t know the specifics. All I know is that many forces entered this place for this purpose. They don’t care about any treasures, unless it’s a Divine Artifact or a carrier. What they really want is still the Source Ground of Dao Principles, and there are definitely more than just our Purple Thunder Heaven who entered this place."

"Not just your side? Are the forces of Heaven Beyond Heavens that powerful?" Xu Ping’an asked in surprise.

"Of course, the gaps between the heavens are quite significant. The Heaven Beyond Heavens isn’t as simple as outsiders perceive. I’ve heard that many heavens have many ancient ancestors in slumber, all for the day when the Source Ground of Dao Principles reopens, ready to step into the Immortal Emperor Realm," said the Purple Thunder Heaven Cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an’s brow furrowed deeply.

He had previously dealt with several Heaven Beyond Heavens and thought that the powers of these heavens were not strong.

Now it seemed he might have been mistaken; the differences between the heavens were quite substantial.

Take Purple Thunder Heaven, for instance, it was only a minor existence in the higher heavens.

Yet according to this person’s words, Purple Thunder Heaven must have ancestor-level experts in slumber.

And there might be more than one such ancestor, each potentially an expert of Immortal Emperor Level.

Among the upper thirty-six Heaven Beyond Heavens, at least half probably have such experts, right?

At this thought, Xu Ping’an suddenly felt an enormous pressure.

The more he learned about the world, the deeper he found its waters to be.

The Immortal Realm shattered?

The Source Ground of Dao Principles disappeared or sealed?

Most experts of Immortal Emperor Level in slumber?

Everything seemed to be indicating a huge conspiracy or disaster.

And to survive in such a disaster, it wouldn’t do without sufficient strength.

"What else do you know?" Xu Ping’an continued to ask.

"No… nothing more, Xu Ping’an. Are you really determined to have an irreconcilable feud with our Purple Thunder Heaven?" the Purple Thunder Heaven Cultivator asked timidly.

"An irreconcilable feud? You’re hardly in a position to represent your Purple Thunder Heaven," Xu Ping’an said with a cold laugh.

After saying that, he flicked his finger, immediately slaying the Cultivator before him.

```

The latter was directly slain by Xu Ping’an with a single sword, cleaved into two halves, and killed instantly on the spot.

Xu Ping’an showed no mercy at all, having already killed two, why would he spare the third one?

Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

"Xu Ping’an, what is this Source Ground of Dao Principle?" Tang Qingyu couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Ping’an thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know about the way Tenth Rank, Eleventh Rank, and Twelfth Rank Experts cultivate the power of Dao Principles?"

"I know a bit. Starting at the Tenth Rank, cultivators begin practicing the power of Dao Principles. At that time, a path will appear within their Niwan Palace. Walking a hundred meters on that path signifies the entrance into Dao Principles. One hundred meters is the threshold for breaking through to Eleventh Rank, while one thousand meters is the threshold for Twelfth Rank," Tang Qingyu said.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

What Tang Qingyu said was mostly correct.

Dao Principles, Dao Principles, they are the great Dao itself.

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

In the beginning, upon comprehending a great Dao, a projection of a great path will appear in one’s Niwan Palace.

The stronger the Dao, the wider the path.

And as for the extent to which one comprehends the Dao Principles, it depends on how far a person can walk on this path of Dao Principles.

Tenth Rank Experts, with Dao Principles power, see ten meters as the boundary, with every ten meters walked signifying a climb to a higher First Layer Realm.

Upon reaching one hundred meters, one can break through to Eleventh Rank.

At the Eleventh Rank, every hundred meters is the unit of measure, and breaking through one thousand meters signifies Twelfth Rank.

For Twelfth Rank, the unit of measure becomes kilometers, with ten kilometers as the boundary.

In his past life, Xu Ping’an walked over nine thousand meters, not far from breaking through to Twelfth Rank.

However, in his past life, when he reached beyond nine thousand meters, he had actually discovered that the path ahead had vanished into nothingness.

The path ahead was gone, meaning what they called the end of the road.

"Twelfth Rank Experts set ten kilometers as the boundary, and beyond ten kilometers, it is said to lead to the Source Ground of Dao Principle. That place is the origin of all Dao Principles. Nowadays, it appears the Source Ground of Dao Principle has been sealed. Many experts at the Immortal Emperor Level reach more than nine thousand meters but do not see the Source Ground of Dao Principle. However, if one can find the Source Ground of Dao Principle and step into it, one could achieve the Immortal Emperor Realm," Xu Ping’an explained.

A small part of this was his conjecture, but it should be roughly correct.

"I see, but why would the Source Ground of Dao Principle be sealed?" Tang Qingyu asked, puzzled.

"That I do not know. It is said that it was the work of Divine Realm level Experts, probably with the intention of preventing later generations from stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm," Xu Ping’an replied.

In fact, he was also pondering this.

But the information involved was too ancient.

The fragmentation of the Immortal Realm, the disappearance of the Source Ground of Dao Principle, these happened in Ancient Times.

And from Ancient Times to now, nearly one hundred thousand years have passed.

Even in his past life, he was but a personage from a millennium ago.

Moreover, this matter might even involve the Primordial Ancient times, making it even more ancient.

"Xu Ping’an, do you think these people can really reopen the Source Ground of Dao Principle and summon an Immortal Emperor into this world?" Tang Qingyu seemed to still be contemplating.

After all, the news Xu Ping’an spoke of made it hard for her to calm her heart.

"Hard to say, the Source Ground of Dao Principle has been sealed, so it probably won’t be that easy to reopen," Xu Ping’an said.

He couldn’t help but think of Tang Xinyue. If she, having achieved the Divine Embryo, could locate the Source Ground of Dao Principle and step into the Immortal Emperor Realm?

If that were the case, then it would make sense.

"Let’s not talk about these things for now. Let’s talk about how you ended up here instead," Xu Ping’an said.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qingyu stopped pondering and started explaining, "I came here through the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty’s Teleportation Formation, entering the seventh area with the Thunder Attribute. However, an uninvited guest appeared in the Thunder Attribute area, causing chaos and slaughter, forcing me to flee to area six. I didn’t expect to encounter people from the Purple Thunder Heaven here."

"An uninvited guest? Who?" Xu Ping’an asked curiously.

"A Ninth Rank Demon Beast, its true form is that of an Ancient Savage Ape King," Tang Qingyu said.

"Hisss!"

Xu Ping’an immediately sucked in a breath of cool air.

The Savage Ape King has made it in?

And it has broken through to the Ninth Rank?

Fuck, how did this guy get in?
