I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 329 - 265: Four Eminent Dao Demonstrators (Part 2)
Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao stowed away the folding fan, and the silver glow at his fingertips transformed into a miniature electric core:
"This is the symbol of electricity."
As his voice faded, the waves of the Four Symbols Rules completely intermingled within the hall, and the cultivators fell into a synchronized shock between their seas of consciousness and bodily sensations.
The "flow" of the Wind Principle allowed energy to circulate incessantly, the "transmutation" of the Fire Principle ensured the vitality of energy, the "oscillation" of the Thunder Principle purified the energy without impurities, and the "penetration" of the Electric Principle rendered energy indestructible.
The combination of the four created a perfect closed loop of rules, and one’s own spiritual power began spontaneously operating according to the Four Symbols Rules within this loop, showing signs of loosening the barriers in cultivation.
"The Celestial Will Four Symbols Dao Principle is not about forcibly controlling, but about aligning with the earth’s veins and harnessing the power of the Four Symbols for oneself."
Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao raised his hand in a grasp, and the waves of the Four Symbols Rules instantly constrained, re-integrating into the flowing cloud pattern of his Daoist robe, as if they had never appeared:
"That is the true essence of the Four Symbols Dao Principle!"
The hall fell into prolonged silence, while the cultivators remained immersed in the lingering rhythms of the rules.
Chen Sheng sat steadily on the Jade Throne, feeling his inner power of the Five Elements resonating with the Four Symbols Rules, experiencing a sense of enlightenment and clarity within.
Moreover, he observed that during Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao’s demonstration of the Four Symbols, there was always an ethereal aura, as if he was one with heaven and earth, embodying the essence of the Celestial Will Dao Principle, which he needed to learn.
...
Then, Celestial Venerable Zuo Xuan began his sermon without wielding a magical treasure or making any superfluous moves. Simply by gently tapping the ground with the tip of his toe, he immersed everyone in the hall in a heavy aura rising from beneath.
It was not the oppression of spiritual power, but the resonance with the earth’s primal rules, appearing as if the entire Golden Roc Hall had merged into one with him.
"While Fellow Daoist Carefree’s Four Symbols Rules excel at conforming to celestial will, my Geomagnetic Primordial Dao emphasizes the earth’s bearing of all things."
The voice of Celestial Venerable Zuo Xuan was not as ethereal as Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao’s, but carried a heaviness that penetrated the divine soul:
"The earth is the most stable rule carrier between heaven and earth, and the Geomagnetic Primordial Dao Principle forms a self-contained rule domain, anchored by the earth."
Before his words finished, he pressed his hand into the void, and a dull rumbling came from outside the hall, causing the distant mountains of the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land to tremble slightly.
Strands of barely visible, soil-colored energy seeped from the depths of the earth, slowly converging along the foundation of the Golden Roc Hall, ultimately pouring into Celestial Venerable Zuo Xuan’s palm.
This was not a simple extraction of energy, but an active response from the earth’s rules.
The cultivators in the hall clearly sensed that their connection with the earth seemed magnified, as the earth-element power of the Five Elements within them began to stir uncontrollably.
"Geomagnetism is not ’extraction’, but ’summons’."
Zuo Xuan turned his palm over, and the earth-colored energy transformed into a walnut-sized light sphere in his hand, with five subtle threads of green, red, yellow, white, and black light swirling inside:
"The earth bears the Five Elements; ordinary cultivators forcibly integrate them, whereas the Primordial Dao Principle integrates the Five Elements by leveraging the earth’s rules, allowing them to return to their positions, forming an unassailable closed loop of rules."
He threw the light sphere into the air, and it rapidly expanded into a pale golden light shield that enveloped the entire hall.
Different from ordinary defensive shields, this shield had no physical boundaries, yet it radiated an aura of ’unshakeable’ rule majesty.
Zuo Xuan pointed at the shield, and the golden patterns on its surface instantly reorganized into the pattern of Five Elements Runes:
"The Primordial Dao Principle defense doesn’t rely on force to counterforce; instead, it constructs an independent rule system within the domain—if an external attack doesn’t fit the Five Elements’ closed loop, it will be automatically repelled by the rules."
"If it fits, it will be assimilated and absorbed, becoming part of the domain. The lingering influence of Fellow Daoist Carefree’s Four Symbols Rules has been assimilated by the shield as evidence; you may perceive it yourselves."
The crowd focused their perception and indeed found that the aura of the Four Symbols Rules within the shield had merged with the Five Elements Rules, adding a heaviness to the previously lively Wind Principle, and bringing steadiness to the once fierce Fire Principle.
Chen Sheng sighed in his heart: "If in my past life I could have comprehended such the essence of the Dao Principle, I would not have been stuck at the Late-stage Nascent Soul for so many years."
...
"Fellow Daoist Zuo Xuan’s Primordial Dao Principle emphasizes ’bearing’ and ’stabilizing’; whereas my Path of Great Void Destruction Sword focuses on ’breaking’ and ’destroying’."
Chen Xihua’s voice wasn’t loud, but it pierced through space with a killing intent, without any unnecessary embellishments, like a fine sword that directly penetrated the depths of everyone’s divine soul.
At the moment his voice fell, a sliver of coldness surged through every cultivator’s sea of consciousness.
"I think the void is the weak point of space, and destruction is the ultimate state of all things, while the Sword Dao is the bridge connecting the two."
Before finishing his words, he finally reached for the hilt of the sword behind him, and although the ancient long sword had yet to be drawn, the space around the sword scabbard began to warp visibly.
The originally uniform light refracted at strange angles beside the sword scabbard, as if the scabbard itself was a miniature void vortex.
But this distortion went beyond the visual level; the next second, a clear picture emerged in everyone’s sea of consciousness.
Countless fine "rule textures" interwoven in the void, with the sword scabbard aimed at the sparsest spot, like a key aiming at the keyhole.
"The sword hasn’t been unsheathed, yet the void has already been drawn."
Chen Xihua gently flicked a finger on the sword scabbard, and a subtle "click" resonated in the sea of consciousness.
Everyone instantly "saw": a remarkably minute crack appeared on the rule texture where the sword scabbard touched, not spreading but acting as a signal that made the surrounding space rules become sluggish.
"Perceive the texture of space and find its weakest ’node’."
Slowly, he drew the sword out without dazzling sword light or fierce Sword Qi, only a segment of "absolute darkness" on the sword’s surface—as if all light and energy were being absorbed by the sword.
Even more astonishing, this darkness simultaneously imprinted into the sea of consciousness, allowing everyone to "perceive" clearly: the space rules surrounding the sword were being slowly dismantled into the most basic energy particles, then reabsorbed by the sword.
Then, with a slight tremor of his wrist, the darkness expanded abruptly, and an incredibly fine black Sword Qi surged from the sword’s tip.
This Sword Qi had no physical form, resembling more of a "wrinkle in space," tracing a seemingly slow but unavoidable trajectory in the air.
Strangely, the Sword Qi did not induce any external changes but sent shockwaves through every cultivator’s sea of consciousness. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
They "saw": the pathway of the Sword Qi, the previously interwoven textures of space rules were neatly cleaved like fabric.
Chen Xihua re-sheathed the sword, yet the rule fractures in the sea of consciousness did not vanish, but slowly shrunk and eventually turned into a wisp of black airflow, merging back into the sword.
"Ordinary void rifts would close due to the self-healing rules of heaven and earth, but the fractures left by my Sword Dao represent a permanent deficit in space."
"Unless there’s another Dao Principle of equal realm to mend it, the weak spot in this space will exist forever. What you see at this moment within your sea of consciousness is the true essence of the Void Destruction."
The hall plunged into an unprecedented silence, even breathing seemed frozen, not due to external destruction but due to the shock deep within the divine soul.
The crowd had never imagined that the Sword Dao could be so profound!
Chen Sheng sat on the Jade Throne, with countless insights into the Sword Dao arising in his heart, especially his Yang Soul incarnation, which was now simultaneously perceiving such a Sword Dao, meditating on Cloud Sea Peak.
The demonstrations by the Four Great Celestial Venerables concluded, the hall fell into a brief silence.
Soon after, all the cultivators rose to bow toward the Four Great Celestial Venerables, eyes filled with gratitude.
Chen Sheng sat on the Jade Throne, reflecting deeply:
"This life is indeed fortunate. My great ancestor’s Yin Yang Dao Principle has been available for my observation and guidance since I was young."
"The inherited Tier Six Inheritance has broadened my vision beyond that of ordinary cultivators, each Celestial Venerable’s comprehension of the Dao Principle is extremely profound."
He recalled the records from the Four Seas Transmission and gained more understanding:
"It’s often said that the Dao has no disparity, it’s the extreme transformation of Dao. For ordinary cultivators, Dao does have disparity—the Yin Yang Dao Principle of the same realm is stronger than the Water and Fire Dao Principles."
"The Celestial Will Four Symbols Dao Principle is more comprehensive than the singular Wind Dao Principle."
"And the Human Realm, as a Small Thousand World, might not have as vast, perfected, and stable Dao Principles as the Spirit Realm, yet its simpler transformations of Small Thousand Dao Principles are a sacred ground for Dao enlightenment."
"Here, the transformations of Dao Principles are more straightforward and obvious, making it easier for Human Realm’s Divinity Transformation cultivators to understand the true essence of the Heaven and Earth Dao Principles."
"Even Refining Void Great Powers from the Spirit Realm would initiate a void-breaking war to harvest the Dao origin of the Small Thousand World."
