Chapter 2245: Chapter 2249: Perfect Great Dao Wheel of Light
"Was it the teacher who helped Zhang Yubo become the Domain Lord?"
On Southern Maniac Mountain at Changlin Academy, Jiang Chen looked at the old man Tan in front of him with surprise.
After leaving the Domain Lord’s Mansion, Jiang Chen bade farewell to Zhang Daoling, Zhang Sanfeng, Pang Guang, and others, and they returned to the academy.
The materials for refining the God Concealing Pill had been gathered into two batches. Wu Xianxia immediately secluded herself in closed-door cultivation, adjusting her state in preparation for the upcoming selection competition at the Changling Main Court. At that time, she would go to Changling Main Court with Jiang Chen.
Others also returned to their respective places of cultivation. Everyone had some insights from the Mingqian Banquet and planned to enter seclusion to digest them.
Hu Yiqiu and his three disciples, along with Princess Chang and her entourage, went to the southern peak of Maniac Mountain.
The old man Tan was recounting the stories between the Shadowless Sword Emperor and Zhang Yubo, and at this moment, Princess Chang and others learned that Jiang Chen had received the inheritance of the Shadowless Sword Emperor!
"Yes, back then, the Great Emperor originally wanted Wu Ying to take the position of Domain Lord, but Wu Ying was inherently disinclined to restrictions, so he recommended Zhang Yubo. However, I didn’t expect..."
The old man Tan had a hint of lament in his eyes.
The Shadowless Sword Emperor of those days was greatly admired even by him, but he didn’t expect to meet with such a tragic end!
"Jiang Chen, you’ve obtained the inheritance of the Shadowless Sword Emperor. Do you know how he died?"
Princess Chang asked seriously.
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Hu Yiqiu, a hopeful glint in his eyes.
Sigh!
Hu Yiqiu sighed softly and patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder: "Go ahead and speak, but don’t get your hopes up too much. If your teacher’s Primordial Spirit hadn’t perished, we could ask Princess Chang to report to the Great Emperor to punish Zhang Yubo, and even have Mr. Tan directly kill him. However, just a word from you as an inheritor might not be enough to act against Zhang Yubo, the Domain Lord!"
Jiang Chen nodded gently in response, softly recounting what the Primordial Spirit of the Shadowless Sword Emperor had said.
"Bastard! That scoundrel Zhang Yubo caused our Changlang Continent to lose a saint with a perfect Great Dao!"
Princess Chang exclaimed in anger, her face showing an icy expression.
"Perfect Great Dao?"
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, looking at Princess Chang with surprise.
"There are countless Heavenly Dao Great Paths, but the paths we cultivators perceive are flawed. Only through Acquired Realm efforts can they become perfect Great Daos."
Princess Chang looked deeply at Jiang Chen, speaking softly: "How difficult it is to have a perfect Great Dao. Even some Saints cannot fulfill their paths completely; the core difference between a perfect Great Dao and an incomplete one lies in the fullness of the Dao Seed."
"Legend has it that before the world began, it was elliptical in shape. Beyond the elliptical world were nine Great Dao Light Wheels, which correspond to the Seven Fundamental Great Paths and the Two Fundamental Extreme Paths."
"Within this elliptical world, the first life, the True Dragon Saint Venerable, was born!"
"The True Dragon Saint Venerable, born with a perfect Spatial Path, used the Power of Space to draw the Great Dao Light Wheels from beyond the world into it, thus creating this world!"
"As more cultivators emerged, the Great Dao in the world became flawed. Since then, the paths perceived by cultivators have primarily been incomplete, with only a very few able to perceive a perfect Great Dao."
"A perfect Great Dao cultivates a Dao Seed that is an ellipse like the world before creation. To cultivate a perfect Great Dao Dao Seed, one must condense a Perfect Divine Circle, which is also flawless... For instance, Huang’er."
Saying this, Princess Chang turned to look at Si Huang’er.
Si Huang’er suddenly released a dazzling azure divine light, with a perfect and flawless Divine Ring appearing around her, enveloping her at the center and slowly rotating, as a majestic aura quietly emanated from the Great Dao Divine Ring.
Jiang Chen carefully observed Si Huang’er’s Divine Ring; it was smooth like a broken jade stone, with not a single flaw in the entire elliptical circle.
This... is just like my Great Dao Wheel of Light? Is this the Perfect Divine Circle?
Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered, muttering to himself.
Princess Chang looked at Si Huang’er in surprise, surprised that such a proud nature as Si Huanger’s would show her Great Dao Divine Ring to Jiang Chen.
It seems Huang’er holds Jiang Chen in high regard too!
With a sigh in her heart, Princess Chang continued: "This is the Perfect Great Dao Divine Ring—smooth and flawless. Ordinary Great Dao Divine Rings have tiny gaps; don’t underestimate this small difference. It is worlds apart!"
"Yes, many cultivators choose to remain in the Virtual Refinement Realm to tirelessly mend the flaws in their Great Dao Divine Rings, but how difficult it is!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke softly, looking at Jiang Chen with deep meaning: "Even if the Great Dao Divine Ring is flawless, it’s still uncertain whether a perfect Great Dao Seed can be condensed. However, the earlier the Great Dao Divine Ring is condensed, the sooner it can be mended."
"Like the Little Princess, the Son of Heavenly Dao is coveted by Heavenly Dao, capable of condensing a Great Dao Divine Ring even in the Divine Infant Realm."
"If the polishing and mending of the Divine Ring commence from the Divine Infant Realm, perhaps by the time one reaches the late or peak stage of the Virtual Refinement Realm, the Great Dao Divine Ring can be perfected into a Perfect Divine Circle!"
Hu Yiqiu knew Jiang Chen had condensed several Great Dao Divine Rings, yet he hadn’t seen Jiang Chen utilize them.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Chen’s unfamiliarity with a perfect Great Dao and his dazed look at Si Huang’er’s Great Dao Divine Ring, he naturally assumed Jiang Chen’s was an incomplete Great Dao Divine Ring.
Indeed, Jiang Chen was staring intently at Si Huang’er’s Great Dao Divine Ring, but not out of envy for her Perfect Great Dao Divine Ring. He was pondering the words of Princess Chang.
Before the world began, it nurtured the True Dragon Supreme, who inherently contained the Spatial Path, and beyond this uncreated world were nine Divine Rings.
How similar is this to my situation?
My Martial Soul is the True Dragon Martial Spirit, inherently containing the Spatial Path, and I have comprehended nine Great Paths.
This...
Could it be that in the end, my cultivation will transform into a world itself?
An absurd thought appeared in Jiang Chen’s mind, startling him into shaking his head hurriedly.
"What do you mean, boy? My understanding directly led to a Perfect Divine Circle!"
Thinking Jiang Chen disdained her Great Dao Divine Ring due to his headshake, Si Huang’er retrieved her Divine Ring and spoke coldly:
"My cultivation is at the peak of the Divine Infant Realm, and the Great Dao Divine Ring I condensed is flawless. This is the absolute qualification of a Saint. Although you are also a Son of Heavenly Dao, judging by your Great Dao attacks, you haven’t yet condensed a Great Dao Divine Ring, have you? I had already condensed a Great Dao Divine Ring when I was at a similar stage as you. You still have a long way to go!"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then responded with a smile, cupping his fist in thanks: "Thank you, Little Princess, for showing me your Great Dao Divine Ring. My headshake wasn’t out of disdain but due to some thoughts that crossed my mind. Please forgive me, Little Princess."
"Hmph! As if you would dare look down on my Perfect Great Dao Divine Ring!"
Si Huang’er’s expression softened slightly, humming delicately.
Jiang Chen just kept smiling gently, choosing not to argue.
