Chapter 676: Chapter 503: The Agreement (2)
"According to Dharma Master Hong Jue, this section of the star river is the manifestation of the Origin Marking."
"The small thousand world he opened also carries the shadow of this star river."
Chen Sheng gently nodded, his will quietly reaching out, touching the nearest star beside him.
Boom——!!!
At the moment the power of origin rushed in.
Chen Sheng felt a booming echo in his mind, countless insights into the Great Dao surged like a tide.
The "Creation of True Enlightenment" Jade Scroll in his hand also trembled slightly, emitting a gentle light, resonating with that power of origin.
He quickly focused his mind, calming his heart spirit, concentrating all his attention on the star, carefully understanding the mysteries within.
Gradually, in his eyes, the star transformed into an exquisite Origin Marking.
After a long time, Chen Sheng slowly opened his eyes:
"Indeed, every star is an Origin Marking!"
"The entire starry sky corresponds to the perfect, impeccable innate Dao of the Taihuang Realm, carrying endless enlightenment!"
Chen Sheng no longer hesitated, slowly sitting cross-legged, floating in this vast origin star river.
He closed his eyes, the "Creation of True Enlightenment" Jade Scroll in his hand shining brightly, discarding all distractions, wholeheartedly delving into understanding.
His will wandered among the myriad stars, carefully perceiving the mysteries of each Origin Marking, gradually integrating the enlightenment of the Great Dao into his Dharma Seed, deducing the path forward.
Within the Panwu Realm in his body, Tiandao Hong Sheng also put aside other deductions, fully understanding the origin here, integrating it into his own system.
...
In the origin star river of the Taihuang Realm, Chen Sheng focused on understanding, forgetting the passage of time and space.
Meanwhile, in the Sutra Hall, as time passed, yet another highly anticipated lecture took place.
At this moment, the hall was already packed, a dense crowd of disciples sitting cross-legged, all with solemn expressions, eyes blazing as they looked at the high platform.
There, a familiar figure sat quietly, that was an avatar of Chen Sheng.
Compared to the main body, only the aura of cultivation was slightly weaker, but in terms of enlightenment of the Great Dao, there was not the slightest inferiority.
After all, the main body was understanding the origin in the Taihuang Realm, every bit of enlightenment could be synchronously transmitted to this avatar.
Chen Sheng’s avatar slowly opened his eyes:
"Today’s lecture is about Yin Yang Complement Each Other, understanding the true meaning of the path of enlightenment."
"Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things. Yin and Yang are the root of heaven and earth. Understanding Yin and Yang, breaking through constraints..."
Buzz——!!!
As the words fell, he gently pointed with his fingertip, and in the void, Yin Yang Qi converged, transforming into a massive Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram.
The Tai Chi Diagram slowly rotated, black and white Qi interweaving, a faint shadow of creation from primal chaos emerging, containing infinite mysteries of the Great Dao.
Chen Sheng’s avatar explained slowly, word by word, phrase by phrase, explaining the Yin Yang Dao Principle in great detail.
The disciples in the hall listened, mesmerized, eyes closed, expressions pious, listening while delving into understanding, forming seals with their hands, integrating what they learned into their own path.
Some furrowed their brows, deep in thought, while others suddenly became enlightened, showing joyful faces...
Time slowly passed, and no one knew how long it had been before Chen Sheng’s avatar completed the lecture, his form becoming increasingly ethereal:
"Today’s lecture comes to an end. Please continue to understand by yourselves, cultivate well, and do not squander your own path."
"Respectfully sending off the Hall Master!"
All disciples bowed in unison, their voices sonorous.
Some prodigies were full of regret, thinking to themselves:
"The Hall Master accepted a disciple who shone brightly in the domain competition, gaining a position in the Mahayana Treasure Realm."
"I thought the Hall Master’s lecture this time would show signs of accepting more disciples, but unexpectedly..."
Such thoughts quietly rose in the minds of many disciples, with expectations, envy, and a bit of disappointment.
They all longed to apprentice under Chen Sheng and receive his direct teachings.
But since Chen Sheng took charge of the Sutra Hall, he had not easily accepted disciples, only Qi Mang alone had this honor.
Now Qi Mang had already stepped into the Taihuang Realm seeking fortune, and Chen Sheng showed no sign of taking in more disciples, leaving many regretful.
Everyone helpless, whispered a few words, and then dispersed, returning to their respective residences, delving into the enlightenment from this lecture.
Meanwhile, after the lecture ended, a figure slowly stood up and headed towards the Panwu Hall, it was Zhang Che.
He cultivated the path of conclusion.
Yet in the Tianxin Zhang Clan, almost everyone cultivated the path of illusory heart.
After the confirmation of the Nine Volumes of Illusory Heart, with inheritance, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
Even if he had to go bankrupt, he would find a way to seek inheritance.
...
In the Panwu Hall.
Zhang Che hesitated no more, quickly walking forward, deeply bowing in salute:
"Zhang Che, pays respects to Uncle Master!"
Hearing the term "Uncle Master," Chen Sheng’s avatar was slightly startled, slowly opening his eyes, a trace of surprise flashing in his gaze, then quickly understanding.
Now being of the same generation as Dharma Master Hong Jue, forming a close relationship, Zhang Che calling him "Uncle Master" was logical and reasonable.
But Chen Sheng was so perceptive, seeing through Zhang Che’s intentions at once, secretly smiling:
"This kid is clever, deliberately calling me Uncle Master, just to bring us closer and make obtaining the Tenth Volume of Illusory Heart smoother."
Indeed, he already knew Zhang Che’s purpose for coming.
Without exposing him, he simply lifted his gaze, looking at Zhang Che with a faint smile, his tone plain:
"Rise."
"No need for formalities, your visit today is not merely to greet me, surely it’s for the Tenth Volume of Illusory Heart, isn’t it?"
Zhang Che’s heart was startled, quickly getting up, a flash of panic in his expression, then restoring his respectful demeanor, thinking:
"Uncle Master truly sees through things clearly, understanding my thoughts at a glance."
Daring not to conceal, he bowed and said:
"Reporting to Uncle Master, I indeed came today to seek the Tenth Volume of Illusory Heart."
"My Zhang Clan, for hundreds of thousands of years, has been inheriting the Illusory Heart legacy bestowed by the Annihilating Life Patriarch, hearing that Uncle Master is innovating..."
Chen Sheng nodded slightly, in his past life, he looked after his bloodline, promised Zhang Hongdao to pass the Illusory Heart legacy to the Zhang Clan.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and this legacy has become the core inheritance of the Zhang Clan.
Currently, he still didn’t reject bestowing this inheritance, after all, it’s his bloodline, but it couldn’t be given away for nothing.
Chen Sheng pondered for a moment:
"The Tenth Volume of Illusory Heart is a fundamental method at the level of Integration, an extraordinary inheritance, I can’t let you obtain it freely."
Zhang Che’s heart tightened, quickly bowing:
"I understand! Whatever instructions Uncle Master has, just ask, I will do my utmost."
Chen Sheng’s avatar nodded slightly, slowly speaking:
"Fifty thousand years, I give you fifty thousand years."
"Within fifty thousand years, if your Zhang Clan has descendants who can stand out at the Third-level Dao Assembly and win a spot in the Treasure Realm, then you may perform the apprenticeship ceremony, enter my sect, and obtain the Tenth Volume of Illusory Heart inheritance."
"Additionally, I promise you, the Tenth Volume of Illusory Heart inheritance can circulate within your Zhang Clan internally."
Boom——!!!
Zhang Che felt a thunderous echo in his mind, waves of shock and joy surging, his body lightly trembling with excitement.
This agreement was purely beneficial, without any detriment, naturally he had no reason to refuse.
Zhang Che once again deeply bowed in salute:
"Thank you, Uncle Master! Once I return, I will earnestly cultivate the younger generation of the clan, teaching them strictly."
He had already made up his mind, no matter how much effort it took, he must fulfill this agreement.
Seeing his excited and determined expression, Chen Sheng waved his hand, his tone gentle:
"Rise. Go, earnestly cultivate the younger generation, do not disappoint my expectations, nor the legacy of the Zhang Clan."
"Yes! Disciple takes his leave!"
Zhang Che once again bowed deeply, gave Chen Sheng’s avatar a deep look, then turned and walked steadily out of the main hall, his heart filled with joy.
He couldn’t wait to bring this good news back to the Zhang Clan and immediately start nurturing the younger generation of the clan.
Chen Sheng watched Zhang Che’s departing back, a trace of depth flashing in his eyes, thinking to himself:
"I hope you can live up to my expectations and bring me a surprise within fifty thousand years."
