Chapter 1055: Chapter 458: On the Dao
Inside Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain, beneath the cliff is the Enlightenment Plaza.
Above the plaza, the branches of the Enlightenment Realm Tree gently sway, emitting a faint rustling sound.
Every sound seems to gently brush the minds of those below, clearing chaotic thoughts and enhancing pure spiritual light.
A jade green Spirit Jade Coffin is placed in the center of the plaza.
The immortality of the Mountain Ancestor within flickers with silver white immortal radiance, sometimes emitting from the coffin, resembling the brilliance of a full moon.
Around the coffin, Ning Qi and two others sit cross-legged in the void.
Surrounding them are figures, all of whom were exceptional talents of the Three Realms.
For instance, sect leaders Jiang Yingchu of Vast Immortal Sect and Zhao Yujun of Moon Sea Immortal Sect, now included in True Martial Immortal Sect’s ranks like Sword Ancestor Sword Shocking and Qi Keqing, along with Ning Qi’s acquaintances from the True Martial Realm, such as Taoist Longshan, Ye Qinghe, Qin Yun, and others.
They were summoned by Ning Qi, who said a Dao enlightenment gathering was to be held.
Everyone was exceedingly excited; after all, having the chance to witness the Dao discussion of the strongest three in the Three Realms is a blessing cultivated over ten lifetimes.
However, not everyone qualifies to be here; mainly those cultivators active in the Spirit Realm wars.
As for those with lower cultivation, it is unnecessary.
Firstly, today’s Dao discussion starts at a high point which they may not comprehend.
Secondly, allowing lower cultivators to participate might lead to ambition beyond their capability, negatively impacting their Dao hearts.
Dao should not be lightly shared, and skills should not be taught to the weak, thus is the common principle.
Everyone quietly sat behind the three, each practicing silent meditation.
Upon arriving at this plaza, they naturally felt inspiration soaring as if divinely endowed.
"This moment might equal a century of past cultivation!"
Sword Ancestor and Zhao Yujun had such thoughts in their hearts.
All eyes fixed upon the three in front.
Only Ning Qi appeared serene and void, as if he were an ordinary person.
"Today, I gather you here firstly to let you witness the Daoist skills of us three, and secondly many among you have reached the Unity Realm and will face the choice of becoming immortals; an early insight will surely be beneficial."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly responded in unison:
"Thank you Realm Venerable, thank you Saint Venerable Sea Ancestor!"
The three nodded slightly.
"Today, we shall focus on the Saint Venerable’s methods."
Everyone immediately looked toward the Saint Ancestor.
The Saint Ancestor emitted rays of light, suddenly revealing endless golden divine texts around his body.
These texts appeared dense, and the onlookers felt that each divine text contained the power of rules, some even possessed multiple types of power.
Many felt a sense of similar power from the Saint Ancestor’s divine texts.
"Such strength, is this the power of the Saint Venerable?"
All cultivators looked forward to this.
Normally, they’ve never seen an ancestor personally unleash such techniques from so close, even in past wars where ancestors acted, they couldn’t see clearly.
"These divine texts are techniques I comprehended from the Ancient Road Sacred Map; I term them as resolvable, combinable, and adaptable techniques."
"Resolvable, combinable, and adaptable techniques?" Everyone was puzzled.
Including Ning Qi and Sea Ancestor, who showed slight interest, hearing this for the first time.
Everyone focused on the Saint Venerable’s body and surrounding golden divine texts.
The divine texts gleamed, suddenly resembling wind, water, or earth, freely combining before everyone’s eyes, forming powerful techniques upon combination.
Everyone suddenly realized, so this is resolvable, combinable, and adaptable?
Those with lesser perceptions merely found it convenient, not thinking further.
Meanwhile, those with greater perception had eyes flashing.
Ning Qi said with a smile: "Do not underestimate the Saint Venerable’s techniques; even I underestimated them previously, but I shall not say more, better for the Saint Venerable to explain directly."
The Saint Ancestor nodded.
"Indeed, under the protection of Realm Master Ning, we cultivators are no longer divided, nor need we conceal; I shall explain to you thoroughly."
He paused, then continued:
"You often cultivate divine techniques, choosing one to focus on, it’s good if connected; if not, you start anew, is that not so?"
Everyone responded in unison, "Indeed."
"My technique does not require that."
The Saint Ancestor separated the two most basic divine texts from his collection.
One representing ’attack,’ the other ’defense.’
"A thousand techniques, ten thousand skills, never escape these two words."
"You need only use these two words to gradually construct a complete chain with your own power to form systematic divine techniques."
The Saint Ancestor spoke and demonstrated, continuously layering one divine text after another.
From water in the Five Elements to ice to frost to vapor, then to embodying the Water Rule, able to overwhelm and cleanse all things, further to the goodness of water...
Water transformation complete, moving to fire, then metal, then wood, then earth...
In mere moments, the Saint Ancestor assembled countless divine texts and techniques appeared.
Everyone watched entranced, instantly linking to their own techniques.
With a holistic view, the Saint Ancestor analyzed the foundation of divine techniques for everyone, refreshing their perspectives.
No matter how viewed, the Saint Ancestor’s uniquely created techniques were highly distinctive, compared to other cultivators’ specialized techniques, possessed great flexibility.
This point made Ning Qi and Sea Ancestor feel it worthy of emulation.
Their techniques still haven’t formed their own system, unlike the Saint Ancestor who can freely combine creations.
Next, the Saint Ancestor provided additional pointers on cultivation matters before letting everyone depart.
On the plaza, Ning Qi and the other two remained.
"Well done!" Ning Qi said.
