Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence-Chapter 499 - 221: The Cause and Effect of Dharma Transmission_1

Chapter 499: Chapter 221: The Cause and Effect of Dharma Transmission_1

The long banner was merely a top grade magic artifact of low quality, but the four large characters on it seemed as if they were forged from stars.

The starlight gathered upon the long banner, and as the radiance flowed, it seemed to depict all things, every living being, exhausting the infinite variations of the universe.

“The heavens are always in motion!”

Xia Yunqiu’s pupils imperceptibly shrank, and she looked at the white-robed Taoist before her with utmost solemnity.

Despite her having only reached the Qi Training Early Stage, she was unable to discern the realm of the white-robed Taoist. Even her Divine Sense failed to detect his presence when she scanned over him.

If her eyes had not seen and her ears had not heard him, she would have doubted whether everything before her was but a mere illusion.

The ethereal aura felt as though it transcended the Six Realms of existence and yet seemed to merge indistinguishably with the world, omnipresent.

After a moment of hesitation, Xia Yunqiu ceased her concern for the standoff between the factions from the Imperial Capital and the sect below, focusing all her attention on the white-robed Taoist in front of her.

With a light and graceful gesture, she bowed slightly to the white-robed Taoist and spoke proactively:

“Yunqiu has seen the Taoist Master!”

The white-robed Taoist who appeared on the twelfth floor was naturally Shen Yuan. The long banner in his hand had been modified slightly with the Star Astrology Divine Power after exchanging it from the Old Divination Master.

Once Shen Yuan stepped into the Enlightenment Pavilion, all the threads of fate picked up by his Star Astrology Divine Power were severed, and the treasure that could shield the workings of Tianji sensed danger and erased all traces of its presence.

However, this course of action fully exposed the identity of the person of fate; observing with the Star Astrology Divine Power, Shen Yuan could clearly see that within the entire Enlightenment Pavilion, only this woman before him was beyond his ability to sense her fate.

Based on this alone, Shen Yuan was certain that the beautiful woman before him was the individual tied to the fate he was seeking. Moreover, the anxious demeanor of the attendant below revealed her identity as the person in charge here.

Observing every minute action of Xia Yunqiu, Shen Yuan said with an impassive expression:

“Pavilion Master need not be overly courteous.”

Xia Yunqiu’s expression shifted subtly, her curiosity emerging as she asked, “How does the Taoist Master know that I am indeed the Pavilion Master of the Enlightenment Pavilion?”

Shen Yuan didn’t directly answer, instead he looked towards the ancient structure filled with the profound aura of the Dao before them.

“In the Ancient Era, the inheritance of Dao lineages was invaluable, and disciples had to endure hardships to obtain the true teachings. It was said: ‘The Dao should not be heard by the unworthy six ears,’ which shows the exclusivity of such lineages.

As the Ancient Era came to an end, the great beings of the Upper World began to pass down the legacies of grotto heavens and blessed lands, and the major sects started widely recruiting disciples, lifting the exclusivity over the inheritance of Dao lineages. Over tens of thousands of years of change, this gradually led to a flourishing age of cultivation.

Yet even in the midst of this cultivation renaissance, it remains incredibly difficult to acquire a true teaching of any Dao lineage.”

“Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor’s Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage occurred, and multiple Spirit Energy Tidal Surges caused numerous grotto heavens and blessed lands to collapse. The major sects began to open up some of their inheritances, with the Imperial Astronomical Bureau leading the establishment of doctrinal forums to widely spread the teachings.

This move seemed to release the restrictions on cultivation, but the major sects still firmly controlled the core.

Among the many teachings within the doctrinal forums, very few were about the Qi Training Stage, and methods for higher realms were utterly cut off, essentially leaving the nature unaltered.”

A glint of contemplation flashed in Xia Yunqiu’s eyes.

Although Shen Yuan’s words had no direct relation to her question, they stirred an inexplicable agitation in her heart.

Seeing her reaction, Shen Yuan, holding the long banner, approached one of the walls.

Engraved on the walls of the twelfth floor were Divine Power skills of profound heritage and complete teachings, such as the method before Shen Yuan now, known as the “Taiyi Yuanhe Method.”

This recorded method aimed directly at the Immortal Realm and could serve as a foundational teaching for any sect.

To practice the “Taiyi Yuanhe Method,” one must comprehend the essence of the Great Sun and enter the Taiyang Path to refine oneself before being able to start practicing this method.

Normally, to comprehend a major path one would need to travel far enough beyond the Void Refining Stage to glimpse the Major Path true intent; to fully step onto a path typically requires ascending to the Immortal Realm.

The “Taiyi Yuanhe Method,” with such arduous requirements, could almost be deemed useless.

Yet in the world, there are exceptional talents who manage to comprehend the Taiyang Path even at low-level realms, or some who come across treasures imbued with the essence of the Taiyang Path and cleverly enter the path.

Whether out of fear for their secrets being revealed or being entangled in various fates and unable to join the grotto heavens and blessed lands, for such individuals, the direct to Immortal Realm “Taiyi Yuanhe Method” is a treasure beyond price.

Shen Yuan’s placid voice rose once more.

“Pavilion Master, founding the Enlightenment Pavilion to collect and disseminate divine skills across the world should have been a good deed.

But the Pavilion Master seems not to realize that the inheritance of Dao lineages is the very foundation of powerful forces; yet the Enlightenment Pavilion casually opens them for the world to see, without setting any threshold.

The true impact of the creation of the Enlightenment Pavilion is on the interests of the great grotto heavens and blessed lands.”

“Impossible!” Xia Yunqiu instinctively rebutted,

“The Divine Power skills within the Enlightenment Pavilion are obscure and difficult, and there are many extremely tough requirements for cultivation. Even if a few succeed in their practices, how could that impact those powerful grotto heavens and blessed lands?”

Shen Yuan glanced at Xia Yunqiu, his eyes holding a hint of disappointment:

“Although practicing these Divine Power skills is extremely difficult, as long as the Enlightenment Pavilion exists here, there will be a constant stream of cultivators seeing these methods. With such a vast number, people will inevitably benefit and succeed in their cultivation.

Over time, more and more such individuals will emerge, and gradually the foundational inheritances of the various grotto heavens and blessed lands will be affected.”
