Cang Xuan Dao
Chapter 830 Cang Xuan Dao
In a side pavilion of the courtyard, Ye Zang, Yu Chen and Yue Ling sat opposite each other on cushions.
There was incense burning on the table, and the refreshing fragrance spread to every corner of the cave, making people feel comfortable all over.
The two men had bright eyes and expressionless faces, as if they were observing Ye Zang's strengths.
Don't be hasty to see this. The expressions of both of them changed slightly. Ye Zang's body had been baptized by the saint's Tao fruit. In the eyes of the world, it was already a top-notch product.
However, one's comprehension of cultivation cannot be judged in this way, and one's physique can only indicate that one is more efficient than ordinary people in absorbing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.
"Master, Junior Brother, you..." Yu Chen's tone was a little agitated, and this time he didn't know how to address Ye Zang.
They had thought that Ye Zang was just a new disciple accepted by their master, but they had not expected that not only was Ye Zang more accomplished than them, his talent was also beyond their reach.
In Tianmingzhou, a place where the weak are preyed upon by the strong and the strong are respected, even if your cultivation level is only half a step behind others, you must respectfully call him "senior brother".
But it was different in the Dongsheng Immortal Alliance, where seniority was the basis for ranking. As long as the difference in cultivation was not too great, the age of entry and cultivation was used to rank the seniority. Although Ye Zang was one level higher than them, he still had to call them "senior brothers" in Cang Xuan.
"Please give me some advice, senior brothers and sisters. Xu Sheng was just a casual cultivator before, and he practiced some unorthodox techniques. Now that he has entered the Cang Xuan realm, he would like to see the methods of the Dongsheng Dao." Ye Zang bowed, his tone quite humble.
The two looked at each other and didn't say much.
"Junior brother, I, Cang Xuan, mainly practice the Law of All Things, and also practice the Dao of Magic. Cang Xuan's visualization method was created by the founder of my sect. This visualization method emphasizes the great way of nature and is in harmony with heaven and earth. Junior brother, you can try it first..."
Yu Chen paused, then snapped his fingers and took out a landscape painting from his Qiankun bag.
This picture depicts a high peak, covered with rugged and verdant ancient trees, reaching straight above the clouds, looking detached from the world.
"This is the place where our founder attained enlightenment, Cang Xuan Peak. But it is now in ruins, because I, Cang Xuan, once suffered a great disaster, and most of the original sacred peak was destroyed. We had to move to another one hundreds of miles away." Yue Ling spoke slowly with a voice as smooth as a clear spring.
Cang Xuan Sect is tens of thousands of miles away to the east of Longshou Mountain.
There used to be a very famous sacred peak there, which is Cangxuan Peak. The founder of the sect, Yu Tianshi, attained enlightenment here and achieved the realm of Taotai. At that time, he stepped onto the great road as a casual cultivator, shocking the five tribes of Dongsheng.
Yu Tianshi was a very arrogant person and had offended many people in his past. After his death, his enemies often attacked him.
Fortunately, Yu Tianshi had a good relationship with the former headmaster of Longshou Mountain, so his disciples received a certain degree of protection. However, they were still no match for the wolves surrounding them. After Cangxuan Peak was destroyed, all the disciples had to migrate to the nearest sacred peak.
Ye Zang concentrated and remained silent.
He stared at the Cangxuan picture intently, and his mind was immersed in it unconsciously.
"Don't let the clouds block the blue sky, or the clouds will block everything!"
A sound of Taoism resounded through the sky, and Ye Zang felt as if he was flying above a majestic ancient peak. There were clouds and flying cranes all around him, making him feel very comfortable. As soon as he had a thought, spiritual energy from all directions gathered around him, making him feel refreshed.
He didn't know how long he had been submerged in it, he just felt his body being nourished by the spiritual essence.
At this moment, Yu Chen and Yue Ling in the cave were looking at Ye Zang's current condition with astonishment.
Ye Zang closed his eyes and rested, his robe rustling in the wind. The spiritual energy from all directions of the world continued to gather together, and the movement became louder and louder, like a whale swallowing and a dragon sucking.
A terrifying vortex of spiritual power formed above Ye Zang's head!
“Senior Brother, this!” Yue Ling’s pretty face was startled and she suddenly stood up from the cushion.
"I have been practicing Cang Xuan for hundreds of years, and I have never seen a disciple reach such a level of practice after observing the Cang Xuan diagram for the first time. This Junior Brother Xu Sheng's comprehension is extraordinary."
Yu Chen was so shocked that his body froze.
In the history of Cang Xuan, even the most gifted disciple took fifteen days to comprehend the truth before he could use the Cang Xuan diagram to absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.
As for Junior Brother Xu Sheng, he only took one look and his mind was immersed in it. His talent for comprehension, as well as his calm state of mind and spiritual determination, cannot be described by common sense.
Such a commotion also attracted the attention of other disciples in the courtyard.
Yu Wei also walked out of the door in astonishment, looking at the attic cave where Ye Zang and the others were with a shocked expression.
“With such comprehension and talent, the disciples of the Immortal Alliance’s sect are probably no more than that…” Yue Ling said with her beautiful eyes trembling slightly.
Ye Zang's state at this moment is very clear.
Cang Xuan's method of visualization was not that profound. It was mainly in line with the wood and wind methods of the Great Dao of All Things. It could be considered a natural great way of its own. Yu Tianshi was also a rare genius. It was remarkable that he could create such a method for this world.
Ye Zang had climbed the Tianmu Immortal Terrace before, so his heart of Taoism was naturally firm and he had also entered the Feixiantu, and his spiritual awareness was far superior to that of his peers. Moreover, Ye Zang had practiced the Five Elements Law in the Five Elements Palace. Back then, he and Xu Lingsha and others had comprehended the laws of nature in the Five Elements Palace, and now they were familiar with it. The Five Elements Law was one of the most exquisite and incomparable laws of all things in ancient times. Although Cang Xuan's inheritance method was also very mysterious, it was nothing compared to it, and it could not stump Ye Zang at all.
After calming his mind for half an hour, Ye Zang felt his mind was extremely clear and empty.
He had already reached the perfect level of He Dao, so this method of visualization naturally did not bring any improvement to him, but it did make his mind feel a lot more relaxed, so it was not a complete loss.
In a trance, he silently opened his eyes.
He discovered that all of Cang Xuan's people had gathered around him, and were looking at Ye Zang as if he were a weirdo.
"Junior Brother Xu, how do you feel?" Yu Chen asked impatiently, his eyes burning with excitement.
Ye Zang cupped his hands and said, "It's amazing. I feel like I'm traveling among the clouds. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is moving towards me. In just half an hour, my Taoism has improved a lot. Cang Xuan's Taoism is indeed incomparably exquisite!"
Ye Zang flattered him a few words and, by the way, improved his suppressed Nascent Soul cultivation by half a percent.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei immediately bent his fingers and used his spiritual sense to observe Ye Zang's Taoist body. As expected, he found that his Taoist practice had improved greatly compared to before. Yu Wei also became a little uneasy.
“Okay, okay!” His tone was a little excited, and his wrinkled hands were trembling slightly. After he came to his senses, he immediately said to the Cang Xuan disciple beside him: “Don’t tell anyone about this.”
"Yu Chen, you will teach my junior brother some of Cang Xuan's magical powers on behalf of your master these days. I'm going to visit a Taoist friend and will be back before Luoying's Taoist practice begins." Yu Wei's eyes were shining, and he felt several years younger. He said in a hurried tone.
"Disciple obeys my order." Yu Chen nodded in response, very seriously.
Without stopping for a moment, Yu Wei rushed out of the door in a hurry. Ye Zang knew that he was going to find Xu Han, who was disguised as his Heavenly Soul Dharma Body.
……
Three days later, in the courtyard, the wind blew the peach blossoms all over the sky.
Ye Zang held a blue steel magic sword in his hand. This magic sword was the best magic sword that could be found in the Cang Xuan Sect. It was a magic sword that gave birth to souls with five hundred years of cultivation.
Although it is a spirit-giving weapon, the spirit of the Qinggang Sword is like a three-year-old baby, which is too unbearable to look at.
On the side, Yu Chen was holding a jade slip and muttering these words.
"Junior brother, the first move of this sword skill is called 'Riding the Clouds'. It integrates the power of the Ten Thousand Wind Methods and is like a swimming dragon, reaching straight into the sky..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Zang had already created a series of sword flowers.
Above the green steel magic sword, strong winds overflowed and actually gathered into a turquoise color.
Yu Chen, who was standing by, was stunned. He looked at Ye Zang in astonishment. The strong wind tore open the space in the sky. Ye Zang stomped on the ground hard and soared into the sky like a dragon.
In the past few days, he taught Ye Zang a sword technique inherited from Cang Xuan, called "Cang Yun Seven Forces".
The cloud riding just now was the third form. In the past few days, Ye Zang's efficiency in practicing the first three forms was very fast. He had almost mastered it at once. This made Yu Chen unbelievable. Now, even the sword wind had turned emerald green.
According to the ancient Taoist books, if one can cultivate such a sword style, his sword art has already entered the realm of pure energy.
"Junior brother, have you practiced swordsmanship before?" Yu Chen took a deep breath and asked.
Ye Zang smiled, then he dropped from mid-air, saying calmly, "They are all those unsophisticated methods from Southern Xinjiang that are not even worthy of being on the stage. Now that I've seen Cang Xuan's swordsmanship, I realize the difference between them."
"It's a pity that junior brother Xu Sheng is so talented that he has been buried in Southern Xinjiang in the past. If he was born in Dongsheng, his swordsmanship would have reached perfection long ago." Yu Chen said with emotion. After interacting with Ye Zang in the past few days, he thought that the comprehension and talent of this junior brother Xu Sheng was no worse than those of the disciples of the big sects. If he had joined Cang Xuan's school earlier, Cang Xuan would have been able to wipe out the decline in the discussions of the Tao in previous years.
"By the way, senior brother, this Luoying Lundao is a method of discussing the Dao. I have just arrived in Dongsheng and don't know much about the ins and outs of it." Ye Zang asked with his eyes fixed.
"Of course, it's soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, and there are also discussions on cultivation methods. However, in the past, elders often came out to preach at the Luoying Taoist Association, but now it is rare." Yu Chen said: "The Luoying Taoist Association is a grand discussion event of our Dongsheng Northern Immortal Alliance. Generally, only Jindan disciples and Yuanying disciples will participate. In layman's terms, it is a competition of supernatural powers. Of course, there are also divine treasures and strange phenomena, including the struggle of Yuanying Dharmakaya. These are more niche discussions. Most disciples still participate in simple and direct battles."
The Immortal Alliance Taoist sect places the greatest emphasis on rules, so the Luoying Taoist Association naturally has many rules as well.
In a word, disciples will discuss Taoism on behalf of their master, compare their supernatural powers, exchange Taoism theories, and many natural treasures will be bestowed upon them. This is the most crucial thing, because discussing Taoism is related to the allocation of resources for cultivation, so the Taoist sects of the Immortal Alliance will treat every Taoist meeting very seriously.
However, Cang Xuan is getting weaker every year. Now he only has a few disciples, and the only ones who can be considered capable are Yu Chen and Wang Ling. They are even worse than some independent cultivators. No wonder Longshou Mountain plans to give up Cang Xuan.
