Chapter 81: Five Heavenly Humans Debate The Dao
To tell the truth, originally the Green Ox Swordsman was just listening symbolically, after all, he had stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm for three hundred years and had even reached the Heavenly Human Ranking. One could say he had eaten more salt than a newly promoted Heavenly Human like the Dragon Mountain Daoist had eaten rice.
But when he heard that sentence ‘Can there be an innate object within the human body that resonates with Heaven and Earth’, he was instantly stunned.
As the Dragon Mountain Daoist continued to elaborate, his expression became unprecedentedly grave.
The other three Heavenly Humans were even more so, already listening carefully.
Above the True Martial Training Ground.
The Dragon Mountain Daoist’s voice rang out, while the others listened to the Dao carefully.
Only one person was wandering outside the body.
It was Ning Qi.
He listened seriously for a moment and discovered that what his master was lecturing on had already been fully explained to him that night, with nothing new, and even much had been omitted. What came after was even the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique that he himself had comprehended.
Although his master had good comprehension and integrated it into his own path, the core had not changed at all. With Ning Qi’s comprehension, he could naturally see it at a glance.
Of course.
The Dragon Mountain Daoist was not foolish. He naturally could not impart this peerless secret technique so selflessly to everyone. He only expounded on the concepts within and some spiritual insights. The reason for choosing to lecture on this part was naturally because of the several Heavenly Humans.
The Carefree Lord and the Green Ox Swordsman were his good friends, while the White River True Person was from the Daoist Sect. The three of them had come this time giving full face and even brought generous gifts. The Dragon Mountain Daoist naturally had to return the favor.
Although it somewhat benefited the Wang Family Old Ancestor, it was no big deal.
At this moment.
Everyone was entranced, the later content too profound, even Core Elixir Realm experts could not understand it, only the several Heavenly Humans had gazes growing increasingly fervent.
……
In True Martial City.
True Martial Disciples kept running about continuously.
The content of the Dragon Mountain Daoist’s lecture on the True Martial Mountain was relayed in real time, inns and restaurants everywhere were packed full, everyone craning their necks in anticipation.
Although most people could not understand, it did not stop them from discussing animatedly.
“Dragon Mountain True Person is truly a once-in-a-millennium prodigy. No wonder he could step into the Heavenly Human Realm before the age of a hundred. Impressive!”
“This trip was not in vain!”
“I must record these contents, pass them down as family secrets generation after generation. Although I don’t understand, what if some descendant in the future does? That would be tremendous fortune!”
The congregation exclaimed in admiration.
Only a small portion of Gang Yuan Realm experts who could not ascend the mountain and those with exceptional talent understood the value within. They revered the Dragon Mountain Daoist even more immensely. Originally some had been invited and felt indignant, but at this moment, that thought was completely extinguished.
Within a certain private room.
The white-haired youth stared blankly in the direction of True Martial Mountain, lost in thought. Listening to the Dragon Mountain Daoist’s lecture content that was continuously relayed, his eyes grew increasingly complex.
Originally he had the opportunity to personally listen to the teachings on the mountain, but there was no chance to do it over now.
He kowtowed heavily toward True Martial Mountain, kneeling in worship, his mouth opening and closing soundlessly.
Unknowingly when, the white-haired youth was already streaming with tears.
……
On True Martial Mountain.
The Dragon Mountain Daoist’s lecture was approaching its end, each martial artist feeling in their hearts: this trip was not in vain.
But the several Heavenly Humans were still not satisfied.
Seeing signs that the Dragon Mountain Daoist was about to stop, the White River True Person flicked his fly whisk and could not help but proactively ask:
“May I ask Dragon Mountain True Person, if the Way of the Heavenly Human uses the innate object of the human body to resonate, how should it be done?”
This question.
Instantly roused everyone’s spirits.
Generally speaking.
During the Heavenly Human Ceremony, only the newly promoted Heavenly Human lectures, no matter how it is done, the others do not interrupt. If an invited Heavenly Human expert proactively speaks, it means he wants to actively discuss the Dao!
At this, the many martial artists above the training ground were instantly excited.
Originally they thought hearing the Dragon Mountain Daoist’s brilliant lecture was already worth the ticket price, but unexpectedly there was such a pleasant surprise?
The Dragon Mountain Daoist was stunned, then also joyful in his heart.
Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist—sitting and discussing the Dao naturally leads to faster improvement.
“The human body has skin, membranes, tendons, bones, blood, marrow, organs—all are innate objects.” The Dragon Mountain Daoist smiled and answered.
The Carefree Lord also joined in:
“Besides these, what else?”
“Tracing to the essence, it is bone structure.”
Now the Green Ox Swordsman could not sit still either.
“For human martial practice, bone structure must form. But how to resonate with Heaven and Earth?”
This question instantly made all the several Heavenly Humans’ hearts jump. They felt this idea was truly brilliant, unheard of, absolutely a pioneering ingenious idea. Their gazes toward the Dragon Mountain Daoist became even more amazed.
In an instant.
The several Heavenly Humans chimed in one after another, already beginning to propose all sorts of conjectures and guesses around the ‘bone structure theory’.
During this, they continuously expounded combining their own insights into the Way of the Heavenly Human.
They were completely immersed in this ‘bone structure ingenious idea’.
Five Heavenly Humans sitting and discussing the Dao.
This scene was probably rare once in a century.
The congregation below trembled with excitement one by one, yet tried hard to restrain themselves, afraid that even the slightest noise would disturb the five Heavenly Humans. While lamenting at their own good fortune, they listened intently, not daring to miss a single bit. If they could comprehend even one or two points from the five Heavenly Humans’ lecture, that would be the true opportunity of this trip!
At this moment.
Even Ning Qi was no longer wandering outside the body.
His eyes bright and clear, he focused on listening to the elaborations of the other four Heavenly Humans, especially what the Green Ox Swordsman said, which was clearly more profound than the others. Although the Heavenly Humans’ lecture was not smooth and flowing but somewhat fragmented, for Ning Qi, integrating it was no difficulty.
One sentence after another of Heavenly Human words rang in Ning Qi’s ears.
Unknowingly, he had forgotten everything around him, forgotten that he was above the True Martial Training Ground. He closed his eyes, his ears filled only with one deafening sound of Dao discussion after another.
“The Way of the Heavenly Human is to be carefree and free, Heaven Flower gathering spirit, using spirit to unite with Heaven and Earth. Perhaps it can similarly use spirit to fuse with bone structure…” This was the Carefree Lord.
“Bone structure is of the human body’s flesh and blood. One should focus on the Human Flower, the Essence Flower gathering the body’s essence. Perhaps it can activate bone structure’s divine wonders…” This was the Wang Family Old Ancestor.
“The Way of the Heavenly Human requires Three Flowers Gathering at the Apex to be complete, essence and qi combining. Bone structure is not merely flesh and blood; it is more special. Perhaps the secret lies in the combination of essence, qi, and spirit…” This was the Green Ox Swordsman.
……
The several Heavenly Humans debated, their words constantly citing their own cultivated paths.
And Ning Qi naturally fell into enlightenment.
He found the trigger for creating the tempering Gang Qi method.
Before the Heavenly Human Ceremony, he had always pondered how to use Heaven and Earth Power to temper Gang Qi. With Heaven and Earth Power being infinite and endless, one could accelerate tempering one’s vast Gang Qi without external resources.
But Ning Qi could only preliminarily control a bit of Heaven and Earth Power ahead of time via the Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique, too crude, unable to perform the fine work of tempering Gang Qi.
This was the difficulty.
And at this moment, listening to the several Heavenly Humans discuss the Dao, Ning Qi gained a different insight into Heaven and Earth Power. This difficulty resolved itself.
