The Hedonist Sword God

"Are you just going to lie on your back like a dead dog forever?"

Snorting coldly, Jian Shen didn't bother replying and focussed on stabilising his breathing which was still in disarray due to carrying such a heavy weight.

Looking towards the woman while being highly suspicious of her since he doubted that anyone in their human form would weigh so much, especially when that was a woman, since all women cared about their weight, Jian Shen was about to start thinking about her intention behind her actions when she suddenly asked, "How do you plan on comprehending the dao laws? You don't plan on comprehending through your corrupted dao rings, do you?"

"Let me tell you this right now, since the two of us are going to have sex in future, there's no way I can let you possess corrupted dao rings. I don't want our child to be born with an affinity to some messed up laws."

Rolling his eyes, Jian Shen who saw the proud smile on her face could almost see what it was that she was imagining would happen next.

If he wasn't wrong, she was waiting for him to ask her to preach him dao at which point she would 'reluctantly' agree and act as if this was something she was doing just for him.

"You don't have to worry about me, I am my own teacher."

Pulling out a huge pile of fire dao stones from his World Crest and setting them by his side, Jian Shen made the smile on Xiaxue's face turn even wider since even though she failed to show off, she didn't have to work too hard in helping this novice comprehend such simple dao laws.

Of course, if the topic was related to preaching about high-level dao laws like those of space, yin and yang, the heavenly lightning and so on, Xiaxue wouldn't mind doing so since she would be able to increase her own understanding of them through some luck.

"Since that's the case, I wish you the best of luck."

Saying so, Xiaxue pulled a chair and sat down right in front of Jian Shen who was lying on the floor.

"You… Don't you know that it's common etiquette to leave when someone is comprehending dao?!"

Smirking a little, Xiaxue other than making it evident that she had long since known that he would try to pull such a trick, said, "As if I'd be bothered to comprehend these low-level daos. Say those same words to me in the future when you're comprehending something worthy of my time."

'Fuck… If I knew this, I would've just asked her to teach me…'

Speaking to himself on the inside, Jian Shen rested for a while longer before he finally got up and into the lotus position. Using Qi to cover the pile of dao stones he brought outside the World Crest, Jian Shen placed them in a circle around him.

Picking one of them up with his hand, Jian Shen took some time to properly look towards the fire dao stone.

Dao Stones were all formed naturally in areas where the laws of dao were highly concentrated. Usually, wherever there was a dao root, anyone who was sane would dig a cave close to it and cover it in arrays that accumulated dao laws and kept them there to produce dao stones.

Of course, there were even a few who lavishly built themselves rooms on top of the dao roots so that they could comprehend the dao laws more easily, but these kinds of people were quite rare to find due to how valuable dao roots were.

Letting out a deep breath, Jian Shen stopped looking towards the crystal yet slightly soft orange coloured dao stone and closed his eyes after which he focussed purely on the heat coming out of the dao stone.

'Fire….is….hot…. '

Repeating those words again and again, Jian Shen after finally guaranteeing that fire indeed felt hot and burnt everything it touched opened his eyes inside his upper dantian and took in the view of twenty small rings lined one on top of the other.

With five of them being in a similar colour, Jian Shen saw his minor dao rings which would tremble every once in a while after which their original colour would be very slightly affected and turn into a different shade.contemporary romance

Out of all of them though, the rings which were orange in colour trembled almost never. Instead, the small blemishes on it were slowly disappearing as the original orange colour covered them.

Seeing this, Jian Shen completely put aside the dao rings related to the dao laws of water, lightning, and wind, and focussed all of his attention on just comprehending the dao of fire.

Due to this, soon five orange coloured appeared outside his body and surrounded him. Following this, every time Jian Shen comprehended something related to the dao of fire, strands of dao would come outside the dao stones and start solidifying the orange colour as a whole while slowly getting rid of the corrupted parts.

'Good, this way he'll be able to make sure that the dao law of fire is completely pure. Due to this, it will be easier for him to comprehend the higher laws related to fire.'

Nodding her head with a look of approving, Xiaxue didn't seem the slightest bit bored and watched Jian Shen the whole time he was increasing his understanding on the four daos one after the other until the City of Beginnings finally opened.
