Chapter 16 The Sage Preaches the True Meaning of the Laws.
Inside the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island.
At this moment, hundreds of people sat quietly on the prayer mats, waiting for the Tongtian Sect Leader to appear.
Chen Qing was the same; at this moment, he was also quietly looking at the futon on the high platform, waiting for the appearance of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
The hundred-year period has arrived, and all the disciples of the Jie Sect have arrived at Biyou Palace. At this time, the arrival of the Tongtian Sect Leader is not far away.
Time passed quickly, and a change occurred on the futon above. A fluctuation appeared in space and time, and then the Tongtian Sect Leader was sitting upright on the futon.
Many disciples of the Jie Sect were unaware of how the Tongtian Sect Leader appeared on the futon, but Chen Qing saw it very clearly.
The Tongtian Sect Leader, however, directly tore apart space and time, sat on the futon, and then restored space and time in a very fast process.
The reason Chen Qing could see so clearly was because his Dao body was now in the spacetime dimension, and during his transformation, he received endless spacetime power to support his physical body and primordial spirit, making him exceptionally sensitive to spacetime power.
Inside Biyou Palace, after Tongtian Jiaozhu appeared, all the disciples of the Jie Sect stood up and respectfully bowed to him.
"Greetings, teacher."
The voices of the disciples of the Jie Sect echoed out of Biyou Palace and reached the ears of countless beings on Jin'ao Island who had come to listen to the teachings. At this moment, countless beings on Jin'ao Island also stood up and respectfully bowed towards Biyou Palace.
They were not bowing to the Jie Sect members, but to the Tongtian Sect Leader.
After all, they were able to enter Jin'ao Island because the Tongtian Sect Leader was about to preach the Great Dao; otherwise, how could they have entered Jin'ao Island?
"Greetings to the Sage of Heaven."
After bowing, the Tongtian Sect Leader merely glanced at his disciples before beginning to expound on the Great Dao.
Many disciples of the Jie Sect sat down, began to calm their minds and focus their energy, and waited for the Tongtian Sect Leader to explain the Great Dao.
The sage's sermon was extraordinary; as soon as he opened his mouth, the Daoist aura filled Biyou Palace and then spread towards Jin'ao Island.
A sacred aura emanated from his body, intertwined with countless laws, circulating within the Biyou Palace, bathing everyone in divine light.
Countless celestial flowers and golden lotuses appeared in Biyou Palace. Immediately afterwards, on Jin'ao Island, the strange phenomenon of celestial flowers falling and golden lotuses emerging from the ground also appeared.
Dao Yin transformed into a divine dragon, a colorful phoenix, and a qilin, roaring and surging, showering down endless holy light.
Behind the Tongtian Sect Leader, a massive river appeared, with endless water flowing within it, and every drop of water contained the power of laws.
Inside Biyou Palace, all the disciples of the Jie Sect were immersed in the Great Dao, listening intently to the teachings.
On Jin'ao Island, countless beings who came to listen to the teachings were also in the same situation at this moment.
At this moment, countless living beings were also immersed in the Great Dao and unable to extricate themselves.
Chen Qing, however, did not immerse himself in the Great Dao. Instead, he looked directly at the long river behind the Tongtian Sect Master and began to comprehend the laws within it.
At this moment, he looked directly at the laws of the River of Laws and gained a great deal.
At this moment, all these laws were unveiled, and he could see them clearly.
As time slowly passed, Chen Qing observed the long river of laws behind the Tongtian Sect Master and gained his own understanding.
"The Tao is the origin of heaven and earth, which gives birth to all things. It is the root of all things and everything. It is formless, imageless, boundless and limitless."
"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, in a continuous cycle, endlessly generating new life, circulating without ceasing."
"The Tao can give birth to all things, and it can also destroy all things."
"The Way has no good or evil, the Way has no discarded things, the Way is everywhere, the Way exists everywhere."
As time slowly passed, Chen Qing gained some understanding of the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws by observing the long river of laws behind the Tongtian Sect Master.
At this moment, he comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws.
"The Tao evolves all things, beginning with creation and ending in stillness."
At this moment, Chen Qing had already grasped the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws, completing the first step of the Celestial Immortal cultivation: understanding the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws.
At this moment, he understood all laws with one method and unified all paths with one method.
The ultimate truths are the same, though they may differ in some ways.
At this moment, Chen Qing understood the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws, and his perspective on all things in the world changed.
If before he saw mountains as mountains and water as water, then after breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, he reached the point where he saw mountains as not mountains and water as not water. Now, having comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws, he has returned to the state where he sees mountains as mountains and water as water again.
At this moment, he had reached a point of returning to simplicity after seeing through everything, and on the path of cultivation, he had reached a place of returning to simplicity.
At this point, he could see the essence of everything at a glance, transcending his previous level of understanding.
At that moment, Chen Qing couldn't help but smile.
He completed his breakthrough, comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao Laws. What remained was for his Purple Mansion to transform into a vast starry river.
After making his decision, Chen Qing prepared to transform his Purple Mansion into a vast cosmic galaxy, but he paused just as he was about to make a move.
He hesitated for a moment. After all, when he broke through to the Earth Immortal realm and created his own Star River, he over-condensed the Star River when he was refining his own Dao Fruit, which made him unable to mobilize the power of the Star River.
If he were to transform his Purple Mansion into a vast galaxy at this moment, would it be like when he broke through to the Earth Immortal realm, causing his primordial spirit to be unable to mobilize the power of the galaxy?
At this moment, he hesitated. Should he first transform his Purple Mansion into a vast starry river, or should he first undergo a transformation to make his physical body immortal and his primordial spirit indestructible?
If one wants to achieve immortality in one's physical body and indestructibility in one's primordial spirit, then one must go through the long river of time and space, using the supreme power of time and space to temper the physical body and condense the primordial spirit, so that one's physical body and primordial spirit can condense an indestructible spiritual light.
At this moment, Chen Qing hesitated for a moment, finding it difficult to make a decision.
After all, for the Purple Mansion to transform into a vast galaxy, it requires a tremendous amount of innate spiritual energy. If he were to cultivate on his own, it's uncertain when he would succeed.
However, with the help of the Tongtian Sect Master's sermons and the endless pure innate spiritual energy, the journey can be much faster.
However, the immortality of the physical body and the indestructibility of the primordial spirit are also extremely important. If one cannot draw upon the power of the galaxy, then even if one breaks through, it is as if one has not broken through at all.
At that time, he wouldn't even be able to leave Jin'ao Island.
A look of struggle flashed in Chen Qing's eyes before she made a decision.
He decided to first make his physical body immortal and his primordial spirit indestructible, and then transform his Purple Mansion into a vast starry river.
After all, there is no shortage of innate spiritual energy in the current prehistoric world. If all else fails, he will go to the prehistoric land to find innate spiritual materials to help him.
However, one's physical body and primordial spirit are extremely important.
After making the decision, Chen Qing began his cultivation.
