Chapter 2530: Man, Earth, Heaven, and Dao
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhang Ruochen had already fused six of the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill. They represented the Palm Saintwill of Yang, the Fist Saintwill of Yin, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, and earth.
Only the fire Saintwill had not been fused.
Zhang Ruochen knew that the Dragon Lord would teach him how to cultivate the Saintwill. Naturally, he was delighted. After all, even deities were eager to receive guidance from the top elites in the universe.
The Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill manifested itself. A five-hued light appeared on Zhang Ruochen’s body. The chaotic energy spread in all directions, and the surrounding space seemed to become a part of the chaos. The Yin-yang of heaven and earth split into two.
Whoosh
!!A faint yin-yang Taiji Mark appeared and rotated slowly. Inside, it contained the most wonderful truth in the world.
Granny Begonia, Xue Lingxian, and Blackie were all in Kunlun. Through the Mystic Eye of Myriad Realms projection, they had seen Zhang Ruochen use this type of Saintwill on the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting.
However, watching from the side, they felt completely different.
“This is a combination of six Saintwills!” Xue Lingxian’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Blackie stepped back and said, “Why do I feel that he is absorbing everything in the world? The Precepts of Dimension and Time have become a little strange. That is quite strange indeed. However, his Saintwill doesn’t combine the Dimension and Time Saintwill!”
Granny Begonia looked happy and said, “After combining six types of Saintwill, he must have reached the Grade Two level. Maybe the Zhang family could be able to become glorious again under his leadership in the future.”
After practicing once, Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked at the Dragon Lord.
The Dragon Lord said, “Practice it again.”
Zhang Ruochen immediately practiced again. This time, he merged the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill and the Dragon-Tiger Prajna Strike into one and lashed out as an attack.
Xue Lingxian and Granny Begonia were surprised.
By combining these types of Saintwill, the attack was too strong. With this, Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Hundred-Shackle Realm could win against a Banshi Isshou Realm Supreme Saint.
The Dragon Lord said, “Let’s do it again.”
Zhang Ruochen continued to practice it again and again.
After practicing it seven times, the Dragon Lord said meaningfully, “Do you want to walk the path of the Grade One Saintwill?”
“Does the Dragon Lord also think that this is a dead end?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
The Dragon Lord didn’t answer him. Instead, he stood dozens of feet away and reached out a hand. His hand pierced through space and touched Zhang Ruochen’s forehead.
Boom
Instantly, Zhang Ruochen lost his balance and fell into a sea of Chaos. He arrived at the beginning of time and space before everything was born. The scene before him was undefined, boundless, and in eternal silence.
The next moment.
Zhang Ruochen trembled, then he was pulled back and found himself standing on the cosmic rock.
Everything just now was so real.
But after returning, he felt like he was in a dream.
The Dragon Lord had already withdrawn his hand, “As expected, you are the Master of Time and Space. Old Monk Xumi passed down his Path to you,” he continued. “You, on the other hand, practice the Immovable Wisdom King’s Trāyastriṃśa. From a useless body, you have cultivated it to the innate Acquired Five-Element Chaotic Body. Why did that happen?”
The Dragon Lord seemed to be asking questions but also looked like he was talking to himself.
“Time and space, five elements, chaos, Yin and Yang…”
After a long while, the Dragon Lord suddenly seemed to understand something. He lost his composure somewhat and laughed, then he asked, “Zhang Ruochen, you’ve reached the Hundred-Shackle Realm. Have you made up your mind about the future?”
“This chaotic and cruel universe needs a new order!” Zhang Ruochen replied.
With this sentence, the Dragon Lord understood everything and said. “If you have such a vision, then it doesn’t matter whether you choose Kunlun or the Immortal Vampires!”
After saying that, he laughed again. “Old Monk Xumi is still the best.”
Zhang Ruochen knew that his achievements were closely related to Saint Monk Xumi, but he didn’t understand the Dragon Lord’s words.
“Dragon Lord, could you give me some advice on how to break through the perfection of the Yin Yang Five-Element?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Advice?”
The Dragon Lord shook his head and said, “Human follows land, land follows sky, and sky follows Daoism. Man, Earth, Heaven, and Dao. You already have the first three. All you need is the last Dao!”
“When you understand your Dao, you won’t be far from success! I can see that your state of mind is changing, and you are not far from comprehending the Dao. I hope that you won’t disappoint Old Monk Xumi. Even I am looking forward to that day.”
Blackie muttered, “Is there a need to be so exaggerated? I have already comprehended the Dao long ago!”
The Dragon Lord glanced at it and said, “Come with me later.”
Blackie was stunned. “Huh?”
“You have to face what you have to face eventually,” the Dragon Lord said.
Blackie shook his head hard.
Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought. The person the Dragon Lord was talking about should be his heart, which was his vision of the future.
The earth should be the body, the Five-element Chaos.
The sky should be referring to his identity as the Master of Time and Space. Space would be the sky.
But what was Dao?
Could it be the Path or Deva Path?
“I can’t help you with the cultivation of Saintwill, but I can help you improve your spiritual power.”
The Dragon Lord opened his palm. A shimmering ball of dark blue flame floated up.
“This is a wisp of origin divine Dragonfire from my heart. It can help you refine the distracting thoughts in your spiritual power, allowing you to make your spiritual power purer and advance faster.”
“Thank you, Dragon Lord.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t refuse. He held the origin divine Dragonfire.
Along the way, Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power could quickly rise to the 66th class mainly because he had refined sacred pills and absorbed the Heart of the Divine Tree. There were many corrupted practices he had done.
The Dragon Lord probably saw this, so he gave him a wisp of the origin divine Dragonfire.
With this wisp of origin divine Dragonfire, Zhang Ruochen was more confident that he could raise his spiritual power to the 69th level in the Hundred-Shackle Realm. This would lay a solid foundation for him to cultivate Grade One Saintwill.
“If you want to walk the path of the Grade One Saintwill, you must not forget about time and space. Go!”
The Dragon Lord finished his last sentence and turned to leave. He seemed very free and at ease.
Surprisingly, Blackie took the initiative to catch up.
Blackie caught up to the Dragon Lord and smiled, “Uncle, I’ve been locked in the Sacred Qiankun Wooden Picture Scroll for 100,000 years by that old donkey Xumi, and my spirit has been improved till its very strong. I’m only one step away from my spiritual power achieving divinity, and it only lacks some of the origin divine Dragonfire. How do you see it?”
“Uncle, do you think our relationship is much closer than that of Zhang Ruochen? Is there anything better besides the divine Dragonfire?”
…
Both the figures of the Dragon Lord and Blackie gradually disappeared into the distance.
Zhang Ruochen looked at the Xue Lingxian and Granny Begonia in surprise. “Aren’t the both of you going with the Dragon Lord?”
“We can’t intervene in such a big matter like rescuing the Island Lord, and we can only help from the side. In any case, you’re the leader of the Sect of the Blood God. You’re my junior, and you also gave me a Great Restoration Pill. If there is any trouble in the Fane of Origin, just send me a message,” said the Xue Lingxian.
Zhang Ruochen said, “You’re going to the Fane of Origin too? I understand it now!”
The moment he asked this question, Zhang Ruochen instantly understood. The so-called helping from the side might be a diversion to draw the attention of the Infernal Court to the Fane of Origin.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “There’s no need to wait. I have something to ask of you now.”
What a joke. How could he eat the Great Restoration Pill for free?
Xue Lingxian did not expect Zhang Ruochen to be so rude.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the stone sword in his hand and said, “I would like to comprehend the Wordless Sword Manual for a while.”
“I can’t make that decision!”
Xue Lingxian stared at Granny Begonia and threw the stone sword toward her.
Granny Begonia caught the stone sword with a hint of hesitation in her eyes. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Zhang Ruochen, but the Wordless Sword Manual was of great importance. If she lost it, she would be the greatest sinner of the entire Kunlun.
“Forget it. I’m just joking. I wouldn’t dare to take such an important thing.” Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to make things difficult for Granny Begonia.
Granny Begonia placed the stone sword in front of him and said, “This sword is the source of Swordsmanship in the world. It is one of the most important inheritances of Kunlun. You mustn’t lose it.”
“Don’t worry, Granny. I will take good care of it.”
Zhang Ruochen held the stone sword carefully.
Zhang Ruochen knew that it would be challenging for him to cultivate Grade One Saintwill. It was almost impossible to succeed in a short time.
However, he had the Emperor Grade Saintwill Pill. Perhaps he could try to practice Swordsmanship Saintwill first.
Of course, his goal was not the Grade Four Swordsmanship Saintwill but the Grade Three Swordsmanship Saintwill that no one had ever successfully cultivated since ancient times. That is why the Wordless Sword Manual was very important to him.
Fortunately, the Wordless Sword Manual was guarded by Granny Begonia. Otherwise, he would not be able to be in his current position. If it were someone else, who would lend it to him?
Granny Begonia shook her head and sighed softly. Then she took out five more scrolls and handed them to him, saying, “Some legendary figures in Kunlun left behind these scrolls. Perhaps they could assist you.”
“I will remember your kindness in my heart,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Granny Begonia snorted lightly and said, “Who asked you to be the descendant of that person? I owe the Zhang family.”
Zhang Ruochen was a little interested and asked, “Who is Granny referring to?”
“A dead person.”
There was a hint of anger in Granny Begonia’s tone.
Seeing that Granny Begonia did not seem to elaborate, Zhang Ruochen asked another question in his heart. He asked, “How many years have Granny lived exactly? Ruochen does not mean to be disrespectful. I’m just curious about it.”
Granny Begonia said, “Counting since I was born, I’ve lived for four Yuanhui periods! From that time, I was tricked by that dead b*stard of the Zhang Family and became the vessel spirit of the Sword Pavilion. Two Yuanhui periods had already passed. However, I’ve only cultivated my physical body for 20,000 years.”
Zhang Ruochen was stunned. He did not expect Granny Begonia could have such a complicated life as a begonia flower.
She was a plant, a vessel spirit, and had cultivated her own body.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Did you cultivate the body to avoid the Yuanhui Tribulation?”
“For plants, the Yuanhui Tribulation is not so difficult to overcome,” replied Granny Begonia.
Zhang Ruochen asked, “Then why?”
“It’s fine to tell you because the Sword Pavilion is only one step away from becoming the eleventh Divine Artifact of Kunlun. The last step is the vessel spirit achieving divinity,” said Granny Begonia.
