Chapter 984: Chapter 230: Rain and Wind Sweeping Away
"The core of the ’Five Immortals Dream Order’ is the ’Dream Order’."
"The core of the ’Dream Order’, in turn, is a ’Dream’."
At its heart, Cultivation seeks to explore that which does not exist but is required by the ’Sound Transmission Immortal Canon’. Cultivators visualize the various traits they require in a dream, then materialize them using a Secret Technique. Of course, the results are less than one in ten thousand.
The Sect Leader of the Five Immortal Sect didn’t know the critical missing part of the ’Sound Transmission Immortal Canon’ was the Technique Introducer, but she deduced the missing needs from the ’Sound Transmission Immortal Canon’, calling it the ’Order’, implying the core part of the Secret Technique, the crux of all Dao Techniques.
It wasn’t until Jiang Wang truly began to practice the vocal part of the ’Five Immortals Dream Order’ that she could confirm the greatest value of the Five Immortal Sect might not lie in the legacy of incomplete Chapters from the Myriad Immortals Palace, but rather in this ’Dream Order’.
This Secret Technique, which involves entering a dream through visualization and then materializing it, has boundless imaginative space.
The legendary ’Divine Foot Technique’ states, ’Where the heart desires, the feet can reach.’
It explores the power of the ’heart’, resembling the mighty power of fantasies becoming reality.
This ’Dream Order’ is also similar!
Of course, if ’Divine Foot Technique’ is compared to a peak ten thousand feet high, the Five Immortal Sect’s ’Dream Order’ has only reached the foothills.
But if one speaks purely of future imagination, the limit of the Divine Foot Technique is ’Zhi Chi Tian Ya’, while the limit of the Dream Order depends solely on the ability of the Caster!
Of course, the greater the imagination, the greater the Secret Technique is not necessarily true. Unrealistic imaginations are merely bubbles. How have the many manic and delusional imaginations throughout the history of Cultivation ever been taken seriously?
Just like the ’Five Immortals Dream Order’ has been passed down for so many years, the Five Immortal Sect is still not worth mentioning, and the Dream Order remains nameless. Yet, the ’Divine Foot Technique’ is a supreme Divine Power within Buddhism.
Compared to the direct nature of the ’Divine Foot Technique’, the Dream Order still loops through a dream realm. This is undoubtedly a detour chosen under incapable circumstances, but it also highlights the ingenuity of that Five Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader!
Her creative genius spanned the chasm of cultivation and insight, truly admirable.
Jiang Wang grew more reflective the more she practiced.
This world has so many geniuses, yet so few achieve anything notable!
Geniuses like the Sect Leader of the Five Immortal Sect, remain unknown. The very foundation she created was also destroyed overnight.
Were it not for one Fan Qingqing who escaped, by now, no one in the world would have known.
Fame is always washed away by storms!
The more one learns, the more one recognizes the need to respect.
The practice of the Dream Order is not without its challenges, but compared to those histories of the Five Immortal Sect’s predecessors recorded on the Yu Ce, it’s indeed much simpler and easier!
Dream spirit and dream soul have always been interdependent.
With Jiang Wang’s soul power, which far surpassed those of her cultivation peers, entering dreams was effortless, and constructing dreamscapes was no hard task.
However, it’s the step where ’Dream’ becomes ’Order’ that requires thorough contemplation.
This process is very intricate, needing a total of three hundred seventy-two Dao Seals to manifest some traits envisioned from the dream, allowing the Dream Order to approach the Technique Introducer itself.
This was the result after reductions and revisions by generations of Sect Leaders and elders of the Five Immortal Sect, with those seals once numbering four hundred seventeen.
It can be said the Dream Order could never be utilized in battle; it’s too complex and weak.
But for Cultivation, there’s no issue, as it can serve as an alternative Technique Introducer to complete the Immortal Technique’s Cultivation.
If Jiang Wang later acquired more Immortal Techniques from Cloud Top Fairy Palace and lacked other Technique Introducers, then the Dream Order might also be an option.
Compared to the predecessors of the Five Immortal Sect, Jiang Wang had one major advantage—she truly mastered Immortal Techniques and possessed an endless supply of Technique Introducers!
She could better understand the ’Sound Transmission Immortal Canon’, and moreover, she could objectively explore the gaps between the Dream Order and the true Technique Introducers by attempting to replace the Shanfu Qingyun method with the Dream Order, thus advancing the Dream Order further.
Even with the Sect Leader of Five Immortal Sect’s brilliance, her understanding of the Technique Introducer only existed in her imagination. She knew it required something, but not what specifically. Apart from others, this represented a chasm of insight.
"The Confucianists say that reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles aims to accumulate a peak of knowledge, thus allowing one to walk further on the path of cultivation."
"With the existence of Cloud Top Fairy Palace, Jiang Wang is confident that he can further advance in replacing Technique Introducer with Dream Order."
"Of course, using the Daoist Platform to deduce and combining both the information of Dream Order and Walk in the Sky would surely yield a more perfect product; this process is also more convenient. As long as there is enough skill, one can infinitely approach the phase limit."
"But Jiang Wang doesn’t plan to deduce in the Taixu Illusion Realm."
"This Dream Order is so unique, not some ordinary item found anywhere. The Taixu Illusion Realm is also mysterious, and it clearly has a demand for Cultivation Techniques."
"In the past, he had no choice; now he does. Before finding out the details, he doesn’t plan on sharing his own unique power with the people or forces behind the Taixu Illusion Realm."
"This sort of caution has been consistent, even his Human Dao Sword technique has never been contributed to the Daoist Platform."
"A cultivator’s five senses naturally surpass those of ordinary people."
"But these are naturally honed by Path Origin, natural advancements of the flesh body."
"There are various kinds of secret techniques, and various targeted enhancements."
"Not lacking are those widely known Pupil Skills, which often determine the outcome in the invisible. Some people can easily distinguish thousands of mixed smells by just smelling..."
"But all those related secret techniques primarily involve the cultivator themselves. People use ears and eyes, using these parts of the body as ’instruments,’ serving various functions, releasing various Dao Techniques."
"Hence, the term ’organ’—the use of instruments."
"’Five Immortals Dream Order of Sound’, or the ’Sound Transmission Immortal Canon’, is different. The main subject here is the ’ears’."
"Ears aren’t just an organ; the ears are another person. A person who is one with you, completely subservient to you, but also independent—’Spirit’."
"Treating the ears as a cultivator, eventually aiding it to become an Immortal."
"This isn’t something that can be achieved all at once; self-cultivation is already a long journey, needless to say cultivating ears into an Immortal."
"However, perseverance like dripping water through stone is something Jiang Wang never lacks."
"In cultivation, the perception of time is very vague."
"Only aware that the boat follows the current, gradually drifting away from the sky."
"In the haze, suddenly a sense of alertness arose."
"Jiang Wang abruptly opened his eyes!"
"Arrest officer Jiang, don’t be nervous," a familiar female voice said.
"Now, there are two more people in the cabin."
"One of them, wearing a blue kerchief, with slightly messy hair on the forehead, breath slightly disordered, but the eyes still bright and spirited."
"If not Lin Youxie, then who could it be?"
"The other person, with a head full of silver hair, only has two symmetrical strands of black hair at the temples."
"And Fan Qingqing, with a hand on her shoulder, didn’t dare to move."
"This old man must be the one Fan Qingqing mentioned, the one who singly faced Yin Guan and those other two Yamas."
"Jiang Wang was first surprised, then confused."
"Is Li Longchuan’s boat some kind of treasure suited for hiding people? Why does everyone keep sneaking in!"
"And none of them greet the boatman!"
