Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1364: Laws are discovered, not comprehended.

"Spirit?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Yuan Jiugong said, "The cultivation levels used to be very mixed. Every sect or school used different cultivation levels. The cultivation levels in the human cultivation world have only been gradually unified in the last few thousand years."

However, no matter how chaotic the cultivation levels of various schools were in the past, they could not deviate from three points when setting the level classification.

The first is the size of the dantian, the second is the width of the meridians, and the third is the strength of the primordial spirit.

"Young Ye, are you practicing some kind of soul cultivation technique like the Hundred Refinements of the Divine Soul?"

Ye Feng knew that Yuan Jiugong was a true reclusive master, and he couldn't hide anything about cultivation from Yuan Jiugong.

He nodded and said, "Grandmaster Uncle has a discerning eye. That's right. Half a year ago, Ancestor Dugu taught me several true cultivation methods. In addition to the Crimson Sun Heart Thunder Technique, there is also the Hundred Refinements of the Divine Soul. However, the Hundred Refinements of the Divine Soul is only a fragment and is not complete."

Later, I saw some methods of cultivating the soul on a stone tablet. Ancestor Dugu said that they could be combined with the Soul Refinement Manual of our Yunhai Sect for cultivation.

In the past few months, I've been training down the mountain and encountered many things, so I haven't had the mind to cultivate the true techniques of our Cloud Sea Sect. When I rest at night, I often practice primordial spirit techniques like the Hundred Refinements of the Divine Soul.

Yuan Jiugong hummed in agreement and said, "That's right. Although you haven't broken through to the next realm during this time, your primordial spirit and soul are much stronger than your actual cultivation level because you have been secretly cultivating the Hundred Refinements of the Divine Soul."

This time, your sudden breakthrough to the Returning Origin Realm wasn't the result of your deliberate cultivation of true techniques, but rather because the strength of your divine soul had surpassed the threshold of your own cultivation. It was your divine soul that helped you break through."

Ye Feng slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Yesterday I spent the whole day on Mount Jiuhua with several senior sisters. I felt exhausted, and I just wanted to meditate and circulate my energy to relieve the fatigue. But as soon as I sat down to meditate, without deliberately cultivating the true method, my dantian started to soften rapidly."

I was wondering why I had suddenly reached the Returning to Origin Realm, since everyone says it's as difficult as ascending to heaven. It turns out it was my primordial spirit that was causing this trouble.

Yuan Jiugong said, "When the melon is ripe, it falls from the vine; when the water flows, the channel is formed. Although your situation is rare, it is not unheard of."

Since your spiritual strength has reached the peak of the Returning to Origin realm, when you break through to a higher realm, your cultivation level will strive to catch up with your spiritual strength.

If you have powerful spiritual energy as a backing, providing a continuous supply of spiritual energy to your dantian, it can help you greatly improve your cultivation level in a very short time, directly skipping the early and middle stages of the Returning Origin realm and reaching the peak of the Returning Origin realm.

However, your divine soul can only help you this once. The next step is the Divine Silence Realm. No matter how powerful your divine soul is, it cannot forcibly help you break through the realm like it did this time.

Because the name of the Divine Silence Realm already makes it very clear.

The divine is silent, the divine soul is extinguished. This extinguishing is not disappearance, but the mutual fusion of the divine soul and the laws.

No matter how powerful one's soul is, one cannot break through realms without a proper understanding of the laws. Therefore, once we cultivators reach the Returning Origin Realm, especially the peak of the Returning Origin Realm, we will focus our main efforts on comprehending the laws.

All of you are now at the peak of the Returning Origin realm, especially Fairy Yun. This old woman can sense that most of your body has already entered the Divine Silence realm. At this time, you must not be in a hurry. The comprehension of laws is much more profound than the cultivation of true techniques.

The true method must be practiced step by step, little by little. If the foundation is not stable, it will be difficult to achieve anything in the future, and it is easy to go astray and become possessed by demons.

Cultivating the laws is completely different; the laws do not require a step-by-step approach.

The laws are not something to be comprehended, but rather discovered. They are like something hidden away, right beside you; once you discover them, you can harness their power.

Yuan Jiugong said these words specifically to these young people.

Their cultivation level is already very high, but they have very little understanding of the laws of the universe.

Moreover, what Yuan Jiugong said was different from what their master said.

Their master told them that comprehending the power of the laws is the ultimate path for cultivators.

Yuan Jiugong, however, said that laws are not comprehended, but discovered.

Dugu Chan had said these words to Ye Feng before.

Most of the disciples didn't understand and thought it was absurd.

However, Ye Feng, being a time traveler, immediately understood what Ancestor Dugu meant.

The laws are like physics.

Physics has only discovered some rules in the universe; it has never created any rules.

For example, Edison invented the light bulb. No, he simply discovered that objects could shine through some energy conversion.

For example, powerful nuclear bombs are simply the result of scientists discovering nuclear fission.

Even if they are not discovered, these cosmic rules are still there.

The same applies to the laws spoken of by monks.

The rules of the universe are there. Cultivators discover certain rules during the process of cultivation and gradually learn to control them, rather than inventing or creating certain rules through their own power.

It is difficult to comprehend this point when one is in a state of emptiness.

Only experts who have reached the Heavenly Limit Realm, whose understanding of the laws is strong enough that they can even use the power of the laws to form a unique domain power of the Heavenly Limit Realm, can understand that the laws are never comprehended, but rather discovered.

They were all outstanding young talents on the verge of breaking through to the Divine Realm, and after hearing Yuan Jiugong's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Yuan Jiugong felt quite gratified.

She knew that the four young people in front of her were all exceptionally intelligent, and that in a few decades or a hundred years, they would become prominent figures and pillars of the Yunhai Sect.

The sun was about to set, and the world was getting a little dark.

Yuan Jiugong said, "Lingling, Grandma is going to have tea with Jinghui. Now that Ye boy has woken up, let's proceed as planned tonight."

Yue Yinling nodded and said, "Yes, all our people are in place. As long as Jinghui Shenni doesn't leave Chanyue Nunnery, there won't be any accidents."

However…Grandma, you must be careful. That Nun Jinghui has reached the Heavenly Realm for many years; she is definitely not easy to deal with.”

Yuan Jiugong laughed and said, "It's not just Grandma alone. Unless there are two Heavenly Realm experts in Chanyue Nunnery, Jinghui Shenni will not be able to leave Shuiyue Nunnery tonight."

"By the way, make sure everything is arranged for Yulong. That fatso may be glib, but he's still a member of our Yunhai Sect. We can't let him die on Jiuhua Mountain."

Ye Feng quickly said, "Grandmaster Uncle, don't worry. Once we take action here, someone will rescue my master."

"That's good... I'll be going now. You young ones, be careful tonight. Don't get too involved, just watch from the sidelines."
