Chapter 1797 Ye Zhenjun's Impatience
Chapter 1797 Ye Zhenjun's Impatience
A storm raged in the Dragon King's heart, even though it knew that Chen Wanli's so-called manipulation of the power of the laws was only a simulation of the aura of the rules.
It wasn't that they truly mastered the power of the laws.
But this is still based on having some understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth.
The difficulty involved is unimaginable to ordinary cultivators, yet it happens to know a little about it.
The stage of Nascent Soul Transformation is the transformation of Nascent Soul into Nascent Spirit. Essentially, it is a doubling of Nascent Soul essence, enabling the mobilization of even more powerful primordial energy from heaven and earth.
Upon reaching the Refinement of Emptiness realm, the primordial spirit solidifies, tempering its resilience.
This step is preparation for achieving harmony with the Dao.
When one merges with the Dao, the primordial spirit and the physical body become one true Dao body. At that time, not only will one's magical power increase exponentially, but one will also gain a preliminary understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. Only a sufficiently powerful Dao body can bear the mobilization of the power of the laws.
The next step after reaching the Dao is to deepen one's understanding of the power of laws and to enhance one's ability to control them.
Therefore, the difficulty of attaining the Dao lies in going from 0 to 1.
After attaining the Dao, the path progresses from 1 to 100.
As we all know, going from 0 to 1 is the most difficult, it is the difficulty of creating something from nothing, and in most cases it is an insurmountable barrier.
The primary condition for attaining harmony with the Dao is to gain a preliminary understanding and mastery of a law of heaven and earth.
As the saying goes, the Great Way is divided into three thousand. The three thousand are the masses, the thousand are the void, and all the myriad ways of the Way are natural and ultimately return to the Great Way.
Even the three thousand supreme laws and divine powers can ultimately lead to the Great Dao.
To attain a single path, to thoroughly master a minor law, is to have an unobstructed path to immortality.
Those who can master a great law to its ultimate level and seek its origin are all potential seeds of the Dao Ancestor.
The so-called search for its origin means that the branches under the Great Dao are numerous and complex, and even the minor paths and side paths can lead one back to the trunk of the Great Dao.
Just like the five minor paths of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, their origin is the five major paths of the Five Elements, and the origin of the five elements is the Great Path of Chaos.
Beyond the five minor paths of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, there are also unorthodox paths, such as the path of artifacts and the path of formations, all ultimately referring to the five elements.
Lifespan is limited, and even comprehending a minor path to immortality is already fraught with countless difficulties.
From the primordial era to the ancient times, over tens of thousands of years, the number of those who achieved Dao Integration was only a handful, and those who were able to master the Great Dao, overcome the tribulations of Heaven, and attain true immortality were just one in a million.
This demonstrates the difficulty involved.
There's a saying in the Dragon Clan's desolate wilderness: "Ten thousand become gods, but only one achieves the Dao."
It is said that out of ten thousand Nascent Soul cultivators, only one or two can comprehend a certain law and move towards the Dao Integration stage.
Even the smallest branches of the laws are extremely difficult to comprehend and master.
If one can comprehend even a minor Dao principle at the beginning, one's path to immortality will be unobstructed. Those who master the Great Dao will have the power of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Those who master the branches of the supreme laws are the seed candidates for the Dao Ancestor.
Fire element is precisely a branch of the Five Elements Laws under the top-level Great Dao Chaos Law!
The law of time is a branch of the three innate laws!
Chen Wanli, though only at the Nascent Soul stage, had already glimpsed two branches of the Great Dao Laws and was able to simulate a trace of the Dao's essence.
Only the Dragon King, a descendant of a divine beast, could understand the true value of this knowledge through his family's lineage.
Chen Wanli, being at the Nascent Soul stage, had already crossed the greatest obstacle to the Dao Integration stage with one foot already. What was an insurmountable barrier for others might just be a smooth path for him.
The Dragon King's teeth were practically aching from the sourness.
……
Above the kite.
Chen Wanli exhaled a long breath, and a three-zhang-long white sword of energy was drawn from its sheath, cleaving through the turbid air and black mist, condensing without dissipating.
His eyes were burning brightly, his whole body was filled with hot blood, and he exuded a vibrant vitality, like iron being refined in a furnace.
The demonic energy and evil spirits were dispersed, and the spiritual essence mixed with the fragmented dark energy became a gentle breeze that flowed along the folds of the robes, drawing out wisps of white mist.
It unexpectedly gave off a sense of ethereal beauty.
Chen Wanli stood up, strode out, his long robes fluttering in the wind.
My pores feel relaxed, I feel refreshed and radiant.
"Shatter my shackles and let them rain down like stars! How exhilarating!"
I gained a completely new understanding of the two fires, the sun and the moon, within the Yin-Yang Divine Eye.
Previously, it could only be released through supernatural powers. Later, it could be incorporated into martial arts techniques, but it was still not something that could be done at will.
But now, Chen Wanli felt that the Yin and Yang Fires were like sparks existing in his pupils, capable of endless life and being used at will, whether in martial arts, in formations, or sealed in treasures.
Before entering the Endless City, what could be more effective in maximizing one's combat power?
It was a huge surprise!
Chen Wanli felt completely at ease, like having a sweet dream under the warm spring sun.
"Brother Chen, are you alright?"
Seeing Chen Wanli standing there, grinning foolishly, Xiang Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Okay, great!"
Chen Wanli nodded and laughed loudly.
He was so happy he couldn't hide it; anyone could guess that he must have gained a lot from this epiphany.
Feng Xi and Xuan Le also breathed a sigh of relief: "Congratulations, Brother Chen!"
A simple "congratulations" made Turtle Master and Long Jihai, among others, realize what was happening.
They all quickly offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Chen Shenzu!"
"Chen Shenzu, you've made another step forward! This is a cause for great celebration!"
Chen Wanli grinned broadly, "A minor epiphany, nothing to be overjoyed about! Nor is it a state of perfect enlightenment!"
"The mystery of sudden enlightenment is something that can only be encountered by chance, not sought after. Such an opportunity is the envy of many!" Long Jihai said sincerely; he was genuinely envious.
"Sudden enlightenment is not as mysterious as you think, nor is it possible to achieve complete enlightenment and become a saint overnight through a single sudden enlightenment!"
Such minor epiphanies are nothing more than gleaning a few thoughts!
Chen Wanli pondered his limited understanding of the Fire Element Law, realizing it was only a tiny fraction of his knowledge, and shook his head.
The Dragon King, standing some distance away, was practically grinding his teeth to dust!
What many cultivators strive for their entire lives to achieve, he calls a minor enlightenment.
A few thoughts?
The Dragon King wanted to kick the cargo off the kite.
Turtle Master and Long Jihai didn't understand many things, but judging from Chen Wanli's happy expression, it didn't seem that simple.
"However, I still have to thank the Dragon King for his dragon roar that calmed the gods!"
Chen Wanli smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to the Dragon King.
The Dragon King's lips twitched, and he turned his head away, maintaining the pride of his dragon clan, and casually nodded:
"It's just a small act of kindness, but it helps others achieve their goals!"
"On our way, we will pass through the Phoenix Clan. I would like to trouble the Dragon King to retrieve the Phoenix Clan's original flame!"
"Humph!"
This was something that had been agreed to long ago, but the Dragon King felt a sour taste in his teeth, and even his agreement tasted sour.
The Phoenix Clan was devastated by the loss of their ancestor, and the entire clan was in a state of panic. Several elders were extremely nervous when they discovered the kites appearing in their airspace.
However, Chen Wanli did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble, so he did not come down from the kite.
With the Dragon King's intervention, it didn't take much effort to obtain the original flame of the Phoenix Clan's ancestor.
Even the natal flame left behind by the Phoenix King's rebirth remained in the Phoenix Clan's old nest for rebirth.
Amidst the Phoenix Clan's weeping, the kite set sail once more towards the Endless City.
……
Endless City.
This is the first time a city in exile has been so "lively".
After the Heavenly Demon Army was defeated by Ye Zhenjun, the tens of thousands of divine soldiers led by Ancestor Lei Ze did not return.
Instead, he followed Ye Zhenjun, and came to the Endless City with Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting.
"Are you sure Chen Wanli defeated the Heavenly Demon King without being injured? Why haven't we reached Endless City yet? Could something have happened again?"
Ye Zhenjun was somewhat impatient, and looked at Ancestor Lei Ze with a gloomy gaze, asking.
Ancestor Lei Ze's lips twitched; he couldn't even remember how many times Ye Zhenjun had pressed him for an answer.
The urgency he exuded struck even him as odd.
Whether it comes sooner or later, it will come eventually. Is there any rush?
Besides, with Chen Wanli and the Dragon King working together, what unexpected events could they possibly fear? Unless the Heavenly and Earthly Demon Kings act simultaneously.
“There are minor injuries, but they certainly won’t delay our journey. It was also Chen Shenzu who arranged for us to come ahead of time, so he should be arriving soon! Unless something else has delayed us?” said Ancestor Lei Ze.
"Other matters?" Ye Zhenjun's expression was uncertain.
"Could it be that the Dragon King harmed us? That day, Chen Shenzu said he was going to the Dragon Palace to collect congratulatory gifts..." Xuan Lie said in a muffled voice.
Upon hearing the name of the Dragon King, Ye Zhenjun's expression grew increasingly grim.
Could it be that Old Mudfish and Chen Wanli are actually in cahoots?
That's not good news for me!
As he was speaking, he suddenly looked up at the outside of the city, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Everyone followed them out.
In the void, a giant paper kite rapidly descended outside the city.
Chen Wanli and the Dragon King, along with over a hundred followers, appeared at the foot of the city wall.
"finally come!"
Ye Zhenjun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to meet him.
"Lord Ye, you've been waiting for a long time!"
"I'm afraid that the Demon King of Heaven and Earth is too fierce and domineering... Hurry up and enter the city!" Ye Zhenjun said earnestly.
Chen Wanli looked at the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun's feigned politeness and shook his head inwardly. They were both ancient demons, what were they doing putting on a show?
Jiufang Restaurant had already prepared excellent meals.
Several god-ancestor level beings took their seats, but they could not hide their own thoughts.
"Without the consent of both the demon and monster races, will there be any trouble in opening the Moonfall Cave?" Chen Wanli asked slowly.
"I was prepared! Removing the restrictions on Moonfall Cave is a piece of cake," said Ye Zhenjun.
Chen Wanli nodded: "That's very good. However, I think we should first build camps and cities for the Divine Race on the first and second floors of the Moon Extreme Divine Platform, which can also serve as a preliminary base for us."
Then we'll search beyond the third floor. What do you all think?
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenjun's face visibly lit up with joy: "That's exactly right! Otherwise, it would be unwise for the gods to be attacked by the demons and monsters while we're in danger!"
The Dragon King frowned, seemingly having a different opinion.
Now that everything is practically out in the open, the Demon King of Heaven and Earth has no reason to attack the gods.
What are these two up to now?
Chen Wanli's actions clearly show that he is following Ye Zhenjun's wishes. Which side does he want to stand on?
