King Time

Understanding the dao

''Interesting.''

Cui Guoliang's voice rang out as he slowly walked back to his throne.

With his back still facing Shun Long he said

'' Among the 6 of you who participated in the third trial, you are probably the weakest.

The strongest was a brat in red armor, along with a small bald monk. The little poison boy as well as the next beggar child, followed by the monkey man and then you.

Nevertheless, I must admit that you are only weak because you have not entered the third stage in Body Refinement. Otherwise, you would probably see that poison boy.

You can go back and rest. Remember, you are only allowed to come here once a day.''

As he finished speaking, Cui Guoliang revived his clothes, before he sat down on his throne.

Shun Long then cupped his hands, before he entered into the golden door, and returned to the jade-white room.

After returning to the room, Shun Long sat on the red pillow, and took out some 'Deep Earth Fruits' from the 'Time Stones' to replenish the energy belonging to the 'Eternal Body King.

The injuries he had suffered were not only deep, but also too many to count.Cui Guoliang's large, water-snake strength, was far above the average of an early rank 3 magical beast.

After eating the deep ground, Shun Long realized that the wounds on his body were starting to recover at a speed visible to the eyes, and half an hour later, there were only a few wounds left.

An hour after that, even his scar completely disappeared, as Shun Long finally opened his eyes.

Upon seeing the 'sealed' golden door now, he looked at himself

''What does it mean to understand the Dao? Cui Guoliang has comprehended the Dao of Water and can summon powerful water pythons, while our Fu Peizhi can understand the Dao of Wind and increase the flying speed of his dagger, or even manipulate in the air. What about the Dao of Time and the Dao of Space? Is the Dao of Time only used to freeze my enemies like 'Domain King'?''

As Shun Long was on guard from the Dao of Time, in the final trial, in front of the throne, Cui Guoliang casually a blue-robed young man fought against his water python.

If Shun Long were here, he would probably recognize this man as the arrogant prince of the Snowcloud country.

The scarlet battle armor protected Yang Gongsun's upper body, as she fought against over 50 water pythons.

The pythons were constantly attacking Yang Gongsun, but his red armor was starting to be strong enough to receive their attacks nonstop.

the trap of the 50 pythons, however, was impossible for oneself. as Yang Gongsun was happy to look at the end of the hall.

As his back touched, a barrage of attacks carried out on the wall followed from the water python, as the armor began to dim.

An incense stick of time later, his red armor had been completely correct, as the blue-robed prince's body disappeared filled with many wounds.

As the aerial python disappeared, Yang Gongsun's condition was no better than Shun Long's when he left the hall.

The blue-robed prince leaked out Cui Guoliang with determined eyes, before finally losing consciousness.

Cui Guoliang laughed after seeing Yang Gongsun fall unconscious, as he grabbed her body and unceremoniously threw her into the golden door.

Anyone in the eastern Desolate could guess from the sect robes and his shaved head, that this young man was a member of the 'Golden Buddhist temple'.

As he looked at Cui Guoliang, the young monk lowered his head, clasping his hands and saying

''Salam benefactor Cui.

I hope you can teach this young monk once again today.''

Cui Guoliang laughed when he heard this and said

'' Little bald monk, not bad, not bad.

Of all the people who participated in this trial, you are the only one who paid your respects to seeing me.''

The young monk lowered his head once more, before taking a defensive stance, then revealed Cui Guoliang expectantly.

Cui Guoliang smiled lightly, while raising his left hand and once again creating a water python.

The moment the python appeared, he rushed at the young monk with lightning speed.

However the monk's hand, shone with a golden light, as he sent a palm strike at the python.

The palm strike was directly connected to the head of the python, as it tore it in half.

After being hit by this golden palm, the python instantly collapsed, turning into a ball of water that fell on the floor.

Cui Guoliang was stunned when he saw this, as a wide smile covered his face as he said

'' Little bald monk, that's great. It seems, your Buddhist Dao has advanced a step further.

But it's too early for you to celebrate.''

Waving his hand, Cui Guoliang created over 100 water pythons, which immediately drowned the young monk in their attack.

This time, the monk turned around defensively as he resisted the python attack, but he could barely hold on for a few minutes, before he was sent flying on the wall of the hall.

Looking at the still smiling Cui Guoliang, the young monk stood up from the ground, and cupped his hands, he said.

'' Thank you, benefactor Cui. This monk hopes to learn from you again tomorrow.''

After bowing again, the golden-robed young monk then entered the door and disappeared from the hall.

As the other contestants fought in the final exam one after another, Shun Long spent the next few days meditating in his room.

Finally 7 days later, he opened his eyes, and seeing his right hand shining with a dim blue light, he could only mutter to himself.

''Is this Dao Time?''
