Chapter 817: Chapter 667: A Cunning Rabbit Has Three Burrows
Shen Xuan began to give his lecture.
The voice clearly reached everyone’s ears.
He spoke about the path of Body Refining.
Starting directly from the Dharma Realm.
"Activating the bloodline, evolving the Dharma Aspect, not for defense, but as a bridge to communicate, guide, and purify the hidden power within the bloodline..."
Shen Xuan did not describe the specific operation of the Cultivation Technique.
Instead, he analyzed the mysterious relationship between "Dharma Aspect" and "Bloodline."
Resonance and transformation.
When the Dharma Aspect manifests, perceive the subtle pulse of the bloodline.
Use the Dharma Aspect to withstand external impacts.
Refine the bloodline’s essence, imprinting every small insight deep within it.
Accumulate for breaking through the next Small Realm, and even towards the Divine Power Realm.
These insights were not mere theoretical talk.
They were core insights from his own peak Dharma Realm experience, moving into the Divine Power Realm.
Every word is a pearl, directly pointing to the crux.
This kind of insight is extremely rare.
For the Elders of Long Family Stronghold in the Dharma Realm, it is no less than a heaven-sent opportunity.
Even if just grasping it shallowly.
It could increase the odds of success for the next Small Realm breakthrough.
As Shen Xuan lectured, phenomena gradually emerged.
Not deliberately triggered, but the Dao Rhyme naturally appeared.
The air slightly rippled, with a sound of tidal surge faintly heard.
Above the head, within a few feet range, soft dots of golden light appeared out of nowhere, weaving and transforming, forming golden lotuses ready to bloom, slowly rotating.
Sometimes blossoming, sometimes closing, cycling repeatedly.
In the interval between lotus blooming and closing, an exotic fragrance spread, refreshing the mind.
Further away, mountain winds passed through gaps, pine waves arose and fell, faintly aligning with the rhythm of his lecture, as if nature whispered in agreement with the truth.
Below, thirteen Elders showed varied expressions, all highly focused.
Everyone listened with rapt attention, completely immersed in the Dao Rhyme.
Some showed joy, some had furrowed brows, some had bright eyes...
On the mountain peak, only Shen Xuan’s calm lecturing voice, and naturally formed golden lotus phenomena, combined with the wind whispers.
Time became slow at this moment.
It was unclear how long had passed, Shen Xuan’s voice gradually halted.
The golden lotus phenomena around him slowly dissipated, eventually fading into invisibility.
Tidal sound and wind whispers also quietly vanished.
"Alright."
Shen Xuan appeared exhausted.
It turns out, imparting the Dao consumes a tremendous amount of mental strength.
The Dao cannot be lightly passed on.
Shen Xuan lectured and passed the Dao to the Elders of Long Family Stronghold.
In the future, he will inevitably bear this karma.
"What I just spoke of was merely some shallow insights from my own Dao path, a personal viewpoint, may not apply to everyone’s path of Body Refining."
"However, although there are three thousand Daos, they ultimately have common ground. If you can draw analogous experiences from it and gain a bit of inspiration beneficial to your cultivation, then my efforts would not be in vain."
Shen Xuan closed his eyes again, quietly adjusting his breath, letting the mountain wind blow his clothes.
The mountain peak returned to silence.
The thirteen Dharma Realm Elders fell into their own contemplation, digesting Shen Xuan’s path of Body Refining.
...
Beside the cold pool in the forbidden area, a banquet was set on a flat green stone.
Long Shijing, accompanied by over ten Dharma Realm Elders from the Stronghold, sat around.
Shen Xuan sat at the main position in the center.
The Long Family brought out several jars of their homemade Spirit Wine and some wild Spiritual Vegetables.
After three rounds of drinking.
Long Shijing put down his wine bowl and gratefully said, "True Master Shen, your deep kindness in lecturing and enlightening has benefited the entire Stronghold. The whole Long Family is thankful in our hearts. If the True Master has anything that requires our Long Family’s assistance, please speak directly. As long as it is within our capability, we will not refuse."
The words were polite, but the meaning was clear.
Those present were all century-old foxes, with clear minds.
For someone like Shen Xuan, living near Golden Dragon Island.
He just broke through to the Divine Power Realm and didn’t hesitate to give guidance.
In the world, there’s never such a generous gift without reason.
To take something, one must first give something.
This principle, they all understand.
Shen Xuan raised his wine bowl, took a sip, calmly scanned the crowd, a slight smile on his lips.
"Elder, you are too kind."
He put down the wine bowl.
"Fellow Daoists, have you ever thought, the Long Family’s path of Body Refining, if you wish to advance further, break through to the Divine Power Realm, simply relying on bloodline inheritance and ancestral Cultivation Technique is likely, very difficult."
Upon his words, the atmosphere at the table froze.
Long Shijing’s fingers holding the wine bowl slightly tightened.
He did not refute.
After thousands of years of inheritance, let alone the Divine Power Realm, even at the peak of the Dharma Realm, it has never appeared.
Those who have cultivated to the late stage of the Dharma Realm are as rare as phoenix feathers and dragon scales, only a handful over the generations.
This fact, every Elder of the Long Family knows.
No one dares to easily mention it.
"Please speak plainly, True Master Shen."
Long Shijing slowly exhaled, and asked in a deep voice.
"The path of Body Refining, has too many innate limitations. To reach the absolute peak, you must also cultivate Spiritual Qi."
Shen Xuan directly gave the answer, concisely.
"We understand this principle."
Responding was the external affairs Elder Long Zhijiao.
"The Stronghold has hundreds of clan members, who also cultivate Spiritual Qi. There are a dozen people at Foundation Establishment, among whom one, luckily formed a Fake Pill. These people practicing the Long Family Body Refining Technique are indeed stronger than their peers."
"However, on Golden Dragon Island, there is only a Tier Two Spirit Vein, and the Spiritual Qi is mottled and murky, not very useful. More importantly, cultivating Spiritual Qi requires having Spirit Roots. The majority of my Long Family members do not have Spirit Roots."
These are the two shackles of reality, locking the path of Long Family’s dual cultivation of Body Refining and Spiritual Qi.
Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.
"The Spirit Vein matter is not difficult."
He spoke calmly, as if talking about an ordinary matter.
"As long as you’re willing to spend, I can find a way to guide a Tier Three Spirit Vein from the nearby sea area to Golden Dragon Island. Along with adjusting the earth veins and arranging nurturing formations, continuously cultivating with Spirit Stone and Spiritual Objects, given time, the tier of the Spirit Vein can naturally be enhanced."
