Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 850 - 849: Nine Elements Dao Palace

"You may enter, but remember to behave yourself and avoid unnecessary trouble, or don't blame me for using my iron fist!"

As Chu Ming walked past the hulking man in blood clothes, the man raised his clenched fist menacingly.

"Hmm!"

Chu Ming nodded slightly. Although the man in blood clothes wasn't weak, he wasn't Chu Ming's match. If Chu Ming wanted his life, it would take just one move.

This is the distinction between comprehending the law and not. Even at the half-step Emperor Dao level, there are still differences in strength. According to Xiao Ai, finding one law-comprehending martial artist among a million half-step Emperor Dao practitioners is already considered good. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In the Life and Death Realm, those who have comprehended the power of laws are rare phenomenons even in the cosmos.

Tap, tap, tap...

As Chu Ming boarded the ship, he was led by a Life and Death Realm King to a room of modest size.

"This is your room. Unless it's for a meal, try not to leave unless necessary!"

Although the Life and Death Realm King still appeared stern, his demeanor was much better than that of the hulking man in blood clothes.

No matter where it is, strength is respected, and the cosmos is no exception. Although Chu Ming was a solitary individual, his half-step Emperor Dao cultivation meant he couldn't be underestimated.

"Thank you!"

Chu Ming took out two pieces of lower-grade spirit crystals and placed them in the martial artist's hand, speaking indifferently.

"Call me if you need anything. If not, I'll take my leave!"

After receiving Chu Ming's two lower-grade spirit crystals, the guard's attitude improved noticeably. He whispered to Chu Ming before turning and leaving the room.

Squeak!

With the door closed, Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the ship, quietly digesting everything Xiao Ai had told him these past days.

...

"How's that boy called Chu Ming doing?"

Inside the command room.

The elder Guo, also known as the Third Elder, asked the hulking man in blood clothes.

"Since that kid boarded the ship, he has stayed in his room except for meals, and nothing unusual has been found."

The hulking man in blood clothes replied respectfully.

"Hmm, that's good. He shouldn't be a spy from the Black Dragon Nest!"

The Third Elder squinted his eyes slightly, a chilling light flickering in them. As they continued to approach the Black Dragon Nest, his unease grew.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, Chu Ming stayed in his room except for meals.

Despite this, he got to know a few guards from the Guo family and had a good relationship with them, learning some things about the ship from them.

"We're about to reach the Black Dragon Nest. I wonder if we'll pass through safely this time, sigh!"

Yang Yuan sighed softly, his eyes filled with worry. He was one of the guards who had a good relationship with Chu Ming, but his strength was only at the late Life and Death Realm, barely making him adequate among the guards.

In the cosmos, the Life and Death Realm is divided into early stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage. Beyond that is the half-step Emperor Dao, where late Life and Death Realm cultivators in the cosmos are enough to be crowned emperors on the Celestial Martial Continent, and peak Life and Death Realm martial artists are comparable to high-level emperors.

Half-step Emperor Dao experts belong to the likes of the Emperor of Destruction and Emperor of Creation.

"As guards, our lives hang by a thread every day. Besides, although being a guard is dangerous, one round trip's pay is enough to cover our efforts for many years!"

Hu Fan spoke indifferently. He was also one of the guards who knew Chu Ming, and his strength was even higher than Yang Yuan's, at the peak of the Life and Death Realm, which was considered decent on the entire ship.

The strongest person on the entire ship was naturally the Guo family's Second Elder, with a Second Layer Emperor Dao cultivation and a condensed Flower of Law. Beneath him were three First Layer Emperor Dao experts. Although they had also condensed a Flower of Law, it was a rootless flower, like floating duckweed in the rain, unable to last long.

Finally, there were more than a dozen half-step Emperor Dao martial artists, the true backbone of the entire ship.

"Brother Chu, you have outstanding talent. At such a young age, already having half-step Emperor Dao cultivation means your future is limitless!"

Yang Yuan glanced at Chu Ming, his eyes flickering with envy, and then sighed.

"Are there any major sects in this Star System?"

Chu Ming asked Yang Yuan and Hu Fan. When he entered the cosmos, Xiao Ai told him to join a sect as soon as possible, not only for the protection of the Celestial Martial Continent but also so he could quickly establish himself in the cosmos.

With half-step Emperor Dao cultivation and no sect, one could easily fall in the cosmos.

"In the Pegasus Star System, the strongest force is Black Rock Island, a fifth-grade force. It is said that there are three Island Masters on Black Rock Island, all of whom are Saint Dao experts, with extraordinary means, ruling the entire Pegasus Star System!"

Having spent many years among guards and mercenaries, Yang Yuan had been to many places and knew quite a few things.

"However, Brother Chu, if you're thinking of joining a force, I advise not joining Black Rock Island!"

Yang Yuan continued.

"Why is that?"

Chu Ming questioned curiously.

"Although Black Rock Island rules the entire Pegasus Star System, they are very domineering, and internal management is extremely strict. Even minor mistakes can result in the abolition of one's cultivation, and there are quite a few cases where offenders are directly killed."

Yang Yuan explained softly.

"If Brother Chu wants to join a sect, you might want to try your luck at the Nine Elements Dao Palace in the Celestial Net Star System!"

At this moment, Hu Fan suddenly said to Chu Ming.

"Nine Elements Dao Palace?"

Chu Ming was slightly surprised.

"Yes, the Nine Elements Dao Palace. In fact, this area, including the Pegasus Star System and Iron River Star System, is collectively known as the Celestial Net Star Realm. The Celestial Net Star System is the center of the Celestial Net Star Realm and is the most prosperous Star System in the Celestial Net Star Realm!"

"The Nine Elements Dao Palace is the only third-grade sect in the Celestial Net Star Realm, governing tens of thousands of forces in the Star Realm, with a reputation that shakes all directions!"

As he spoke, a spark of passion flashed in Hu Fan's eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

"However, to join the Nine Elements Dao Palace, the minimum standard is to be a Sealed Marquis level genius, and only Sealed King level geniuses have a chance to become Inner Palace disciples, while the Core disciple must be at least a Sealed Saint level genius!"

Hu Fan glanced at Chu Ming and said lightly.

"With Brother Chu's talent, it's unlikely to enter the Inner Palace, but joining the Outer Palace is still possible."

"Joining the Nine Elements Dao Palace!"

After listening to Hu Fan's words, Chu Ming had already made up his mind.

Since the Nine Elements Dao Palace is a third-grade force, it means that within the palace, there are Divine Dao experts.

Third-grade forces, although not the most top-tier in the cosmos, are considerable. Throughout the entire cosmos, there are only nine first-grade forces, which are the nine Divine Kingdoms.

One of these is the Divine Kingdom!

And the second-grade forces number around one hundred, below which are the third-grade forces.
