Vitality Theory and Spiritual Energy Theory, Spreading the Profound Yellow!
The Daoist Conference was held on the Start of Autumn the beginning of autumn) in the Yuanshuo Year One, while the publicity began in the spring.
The Grand Minister of Agriculture's discourse conference was naturally no small matter, and once the decision was made, officials at all levels immediately took action.
In addition to officials from the Agricultural Official joining the discussion of details, the heads of the three major Shennong Holy Land — Mystic Heaven, Earth Origin, and Shangluo— also participated. Furthermore, ten top-tier academies, including Greenwood and Lotus, offered their advice.
The agenda for the Daoist Conference was handed over to Jiang Hua, the Ritual Dao Office Head Official, who was of the first rank.
The Ritual Dao Office and the Society God In-charge Official, which Zhao Xing had previously served as, were similar in nature, both being overlapping Official Rank positions. Jiang Hua, holding the rank of First Rank, was both Ritual Cultivator and Priest.
From early spring to midsummer, countless meetings, large and small, were held. Jiang Hua also found the process of chairing these meetings quite troublesome.
With three sacred lands and ten top-tier experts, such powerful individuals come from different schools and states, making coordination very difficult. A simple example is the seating arrangement based on seniority at meetings.
If they were officials, it would be easy; Jiang Hua could simply arrange them according to their Official Rank rank.
However, many of them were not officials, because the conference invited not only powerful Agricultural Official in the court but also many Agricultural Official in the field who were not in office. Judging from their seniority, reputation, and strength, many of them were quite similar; the only difference was that they came from different schools of thought.
In the past, if Jiang Hua had followed the convention of the three factions to arrange the seating, with Heaven being the eldest, Earth the second, True Self following behind, there wouldn't have been any major problems.
But this is no longer feasible, True Self Faction has strongly protested against this seating arrangement.
"Lord Jiang!" Zhuang Danian shouted, "The event will be held at my Shangluo Academy, and the discourse conference will announce a major breakthrough in the Way of the True Self!"
"How could you let us students from the Shangluo Academy sit in the third row? Huh?!" Listen to the volume of that voice!
Two hundred years ago, would Zhuang Danian have dared to speak so loudly?
But things are different now! The True Self Faction have fully risen up! Zhuang Danian's spittle was practically flying onto Jiang Hua's face!
The old men of the True Self Faction behind him were also staring at Jiang Hua with predatory eyes, as if to say, "If you don't put us first, we'll be lying on the ground."
Jiang Hua was no pushover either. Having worked in the Department of Ceremonial Affairs for so many years, what kind of situation hadn't he seen? Fighting for the center position was all too common for him.
"My lords, please calm down." Jiang Hua wiped the spit on his face and still had a smile on his face. "This is a mistake made by the lower-ranking official. The council hall is not in the Willow Hall at all, and the seating arrangement is certainly not like this."
"How dare I underestimate you seniors? Please put your sleeves down, it's a bit cold, don't catch a cold."
Hearing Jiang Hua say this, the group of Old Sima Nong behind Zhuang Danian, who had rolled up their sleeves, softened their expressions but still refused to give up.
"Since it's a mistake, then please, Lord Jiang, quickly produce a plan so as not to delay the Grand Minister of Agriculture's affairs." Jiang Hua waved his hand, and a Water Screen rippled in the air, revealing a seating chart.
"Please take a look, everyone. This is the seating chart for the venue." Zhuang Danian's expression turned somewhat strange after he saw it.
Because Jiang Hua innovatively created a round table conference, with the table forming a large circle and the host Ceremonial Official's position in the center. This eliminated the need for front and back rows, and the distinction between chief and secondary seats.
Although Zhuang Danian and the others were dissatisfied with Jiang Hua's conciliatory approach, they stopped causing trouble. After all, they were there to discuss matters, not to compete for superiority in this setting.
"Lord Jiang, please don't let your subordinates make the same mistake again."
"Of course, of course," Jiang Hua said with a smile, watching the group of shirtless Agricultural Official leave.
The Assistant Official next to him muttered under his breath:
"My lord, we don't have a council hall like this. It's always been arranged this way, and there's never been a problem." Jiang Hua glared at his deputy and said, "The past is the past, the present is the present. The True Self Faction is no longer what it used to be!" "If we don't have a council hall like this, why don't you have the Works Department build one?"
"I'll go right away." The Assistant Official nodded hurriedly.
"Wait, make a few more. All meetings related to this Daoist Conference, regardless of level, should be held in such a meeting hall."
"Yes, I understand."
As the meeting progressed, the details of the discourse conference became increasingly complete. Jiang Hua also witnessed the terrifying prestige of Zhao Xing, the Grand Minister of Agriculture.
As the number of participants increases, there are not only more people participating, but also more people offering suggestions.
A month after the publicity campaign, Jiang Hua discovered that the venue she had prepared was simply not enough.
"My lord, the number of participants in this Grand Minister of Agriculture's discourse conference has exceeded that of any other discourse conference we have hosted," the Assistant Official said.
"Can't Daoyuan Continent find a place that can accommodate so many people for a discussion?" Jiang Hua asked. "And why are there so many? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Have people from abroad come too?"
"At this rate of growth, it will increase tenfold again when the event officially opens in the fall."
"Don't even Daoyuan Continent; none of the Nineteen Provinces have such a large Debate Dao Field," the Assistant Official said with a wry smile. Jiang Hua pondered, "In that case, I will report to the Grand Minister of Agriculture and see if we can divert students through the Cloud Dream Academy." "Hmm? You mean..."
"Since there is no suitable place in the Nineteen Provinces, we can ask the Grand Minister of Agriculture to set aside some time to preach at the Cloud Dream Academy."
"This way, we can save many people from traveling back and forth, and also allow those who cannot reach Daoyuan Continent to listen to the Grand Minister of Agriculture's sermons."
"Lord Jiang is wise!"
With the location for the discussion determined, the agenda was accelerated.
Jiang Hua couldn't make all the decisions, and ultimately, at the time of the Start of Summer, several crucial questions were presented to Zhao Xing, the Grand Minister of Agriculture.
"Jiang Hua of the Ministry of Rites greets the Grand Minister of Agriculture." "Greetings, Lord Jiang. Please have a seat."
Zhao Xing smiled and invited Jiang Hua to sit down, then poured him tea.
He had also heard that Jiang Hua's hosting duties this month were difficult, but in the end Jiang Hua still did a good job.
"Thank you, Grand Minister of Agriculture." Jiang Hua first handed over an official document, then took his seat, and then spread out paper and pen on the desk. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, there are still a few key issues at the Daoist Conference that require Grand Minister of Agriculture decision."
"Please speak, Lord Jiang."
Jiang Hua: "Since this is a conference for discussing the Dao, someone should be able to discuss the Dao with the Grand Minister of Agriculture. The choice of the first person to discuss the Dao with you has become the focus of the debate."
"This humble official dares not make a decision on his own; I can only ask the Grand Minister of Agriculture to decide." Zhao Xing picked up the meeting minutes, glanced at them, and then smiled. Since it was a conference for discussing the Dao, there naturally needed to be people to discuss the Dao with.
Of course, according to the representatives of the three factions, no one was qualified to discuss the Dao with Zhao Xing. Simply sending someone to ask a question was an unparalleled honor.
The question then became who should go first.
Some say the first should be Liu Tianning, as he was the former Grand Minister of Agriculture and Zhao Xing's teacher, so he should be the first to go. Others say the first should be Ling Tianchen, because Ling Tianchen was also Zhao Xing's teacher.
Some also mentioned Wang Tianzhi and Qiu Yuanshan.
However, the number of votes was relatively small.
Some clever folks thought they should invite the three Yin Spirit, Li Boqian, Xuan Yuan Qingtian, Fu Tianyang, from the underworld to be the first ones to appear.
Zhao Xing didn't think for long before making a decision. "Put Mi Fu first."
Jiang Hua was slightly taken aback. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, is Mi Fu...?"
Zhao Xing laughed and said, "Are you trying to say that his status is a bit low and his strength is a bit weak?" Jiang Hua nodded; that was indeed what he thought.
Most people thought so too. Even though Zhao Xing had said before that Mi Fu had made a great contribution to this research, no one took it seriously. Since Zhao Xing was involved, it was naturally all the credit of the Grand Minister of Agriculture!
Mi Fu? He was just there by chance! How could he be the first one?
Zhao Xing waved his hand and said, "Actually, that's not how it is. Mi Fu developed the first version of the spell, I improved the second version, and he developed the third version based on my work."
"Later, we worked together to develop an advanced version."
"Of course, the advanced version will not be released this time, but Mi Fu's contribution is beyond doubt." "You can spread my original words, and anyone who has doubts can come to me." Zhao Xing certainly wouldn't take credit for Mi Fu's achievements; this was the courtesy he deserved.
"Yes." Jiang Hua nodded and wrote it down. Then he put down his pen, cupped his hands, and said, "The second question is for the Grand Minister of Agriculture to decide." "Before the discussion on the Dao, should we hold a sacrificial ceremony to worship the God of the Land, the God of Millet, or the Heavenly God? If all three are worshipped, which one should be worshipped first?" This was another issue arising from a factional dispute. Zhao Xing pondered and said, "The Department of Rites can set up three altars, arranged side by side, with no distinction in height. The ceremonial music can be placed in the east, south, and north respectively."
After a pause, Zhao Xing continued, "To avoid speculation from outsiders, you can record what I'm about to say. "The way of Agricultural Official involves Heaven, Earth, and Man; these three are only emphasized, not ranked."
"The three internal factions arose simply because there was a lack of energy and resources."
"Things are different now. We have the Cloud Dream Academy, which gives us more time and energy to study. We are in a great era of Vitality Tide, which gives us more opportunities to cultivate all three schools simultaneously."
"The three factions cultivate the Agriculture Dao together, sharing the same roots and origins. They should not focus their energy on factional struggles."
Jiang Hua was somewhat shaken. He knew that the struggle between the three factions had a long history and could not be stopped so easily.
He originally thought that Zhao Xing did not express his factional stance in these details in order to make it easier to lead his team, but now it seems that he intends to use the Dao Debate Conference to unify the three factions!
Zhao Xing glanced at Jiang Hua, and for some reason, Jiang Hua suddenly felt excited, as if she were witnessing something.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, the number of participants in this Daoist conference has reached an unprecedented level. I wonder if the Grand Minister of Agriculture can..."
Will sermons be conducted simultaneously at both the Cloud Dream Academy and the Daoyuan Continent's Debate Dao Field?
"Can."
"The Fate Officials and the Grand Commandant asked me whether we should allow foreigners to come in and listen to the Grand Minister of Agriculture preach, and if so, whether we should conduct a screening process."
"No need to stop them. Anyone who enters the Great Zhou territory through legitimate means is welcome to listen. This Daoist Conference will only announce the latest..."
The initial version.
"If you want to learn the subsequent second, third, or even advanced versions, there are only three possibilities: become a vassal of the Great Zhou, become an official in the Great Zhou, or become a high-ranking official."
The initial version will definitely be free to learn; this is the version that Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique Zhao Xing obtained from Mi Fu. It's meant to be widely disseminated, and its spread is inevitable.
Even if it's leaked, it doesn't matter; it's several versions behind the Great Zhou. In terms of the efficiency of spiritual energy utilization, the three versions of the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique are not even in the same league.
The Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique created by Mi Fu was only a mid-level spell.
The second version developed by Zhao Xing was already advanced, and the third version was top-tier.
The advanced version reverses primordial energy into spiritual energy, which is...
It can already be called the Ultimate Law, and only a limited number of high-ranking officials know about it.
To attract Agricultural Official individuals to join the Great Zhou Great Zhou and increase its fortune, the initial version should naturally be released for free. "Yes," Jiang Hua nodded.
Next, he asked Zhao Xing if he had any instructions regarding the Dao Discussion Conference. Zhao Xing took out four items from his Qiankun bag.
Cui1gj1 "The Agricultural Official has five treasures: Hundred Flowers Hat, Golden Raincoat, Cloud Rain Pearl, Cloud Stepping Boots, and Nine Section Staff."
"These are all new models created by the Works Department. Some sales areas will be set aside around the Debate Dao Field to mainly sell these items."
In fact, the Agricultural Official should have six treasures, plus the almanac, but there's not much to improve, so Zhao Xing only brought out these five.
The items with the least change in function are the Hundred Flowers Hat and the Golden Raincoat, because their materials have only become slightly stronger with the evolution of the Derived Seed.
The major changes are to the Cloud Rain Pearl, the Cloud Stepping Boots, and the Nine-Section Staff. Due to the influence of the Vitality Tide, future Agriculture Official will face stronger natural disasters, and regulating the Favorable Timing and Location will become more difficult.
Zhao Xing revised the "Solar Terms Decree," "The Houtu Return to Origin," and "The Yin Yang True Self Scripture," and based on his own insights, he had the Works Department make major modifications to these three pieces of equipment.
This allows them to better adapt to changes in nature and exert a stronger effect.
Among these, the research and development of Cloud Rain Pearl has been the most extensive, with even rare, treasure-grade Cloud Rain Pearl already emerging. Zhao Xing envisions them being able to collect spiritual rain in the future!
There have also been many changes in appearance. The original scepter was one meter long, with the top of the scepter inlaid with sun and moon beads.
The Solar Yang is above and the moon is below, symbolizing heaven and earth, but the symbolism is not obvious in the True Self Faction; only the bamboo itself has symbolic meaning.
Now, the staff will be engraved with a classic quote from the True Self Faction.
For example, Zhao Xing's commentary on " On the Object Law Treatise" states. "Things reveal their principles, I see their way, and the way reveals its laws." Similarly, boots and clothes were also standardized.
The unification of the three factions requires starting with every detail, subtly and gradually.
The Daoist Conference was scheduled to begin on August 6th, the day of the Start of Autumn. By early May, many people had already arrived in the Daoyuan Continent of the Great Zhou. These included the four great royal courts of the Southern Barbarians Four Great Royal Courts, the Eastern Ying Great Serpent Country Kingdom of the Western Extremity Continent, and the kingdoms of Morse Country, North Butcher Country, Sake Country, and An Country from the Daoyuan Continent, at a certain official Tower Ship Office ...
The Mist Walker, carrying a Wen Bamboo Box on his back, followed behind a thin old man who looked like a bamboo pole, his face full of worry.
The old man was arguing coldly with the official in charge. "Why do I have to pay extra?! I'm a human being, why are you charging me like an object, forcing me to sit in the cargo hold instead of the passenger cabin?!"
The official said impatiently, "Do you think I don't know you used Illusory Form technique? You're using a straw doll body made of Ninth Order top-quality ' Spirit Locust Wood, Moon Bloom Grass, Deng Copper Bamboo, and Origin Fire Vine'?"
"What? You're just a lowly Fifth Grade official, how could you possibly understand the mysteries of my Straw Man Art?" The old man was greatly surprised.
The Fifth Grade official patted a black box next to him and said with some disdain, "Old man, times have changed. Which mountain village are you from, some sectarian figure?"
"This is a new version of the Shang Heng Instrument, commissioned by the Grand Minister of Agriculture. It can even measure rare and precious materials. What's a mere Ninth Order item?" "Do you want me to continue? The composition is displayed on the Shang Heng Instrument!"
"You!" Moon Bloom Daoist glared, but was helpless. Theoretically, he could wipe out the entire Tower Ship Office with a flick of his wrist. But in reality, he couldn't even lift a finger.
The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was so powerful and unpredictable that he set rules for all the non-Buddhist people who came to participate in the Daoist Conference: no one was allowed to fight or kill each other except in designated areas.
Besides, it's not worth it. This clone of his is extremely precious. Even if he could fight, if he killed someone, the clone would definitely not be able to leave the Great Zhou. Why would he travel thousands of miles just to kill a Fifth Grade?
"Martial Uncle, let's stick to the rules. The cargo hold is fine. It's more comfortable to lie down there," Mist Walker advised as he approached.
Moon Bloom Daoist said with a stern face, "What, do you think your Martial Uncle uncle is a disgrace?"
"No, no, absolutely not." The Mist Walker quickly shook his head.
"Kid, your magic skills aren't up to par yet. Your facial expressions are too stiff; you clearly have them!"
Moon Bloom Daoist cursed, "This is truly a world that's gone to hell! If this were my time, who would dare speak to me like that? They'd all be dragged out and beheaded!"
The Mist Walker were left with no choice but to give up.
As the Vitality Tide appeared, many old monsters of the Profound Heaven Divine Sect began to awaken!
He only learned after becoming the temporary sect leader that the Divine Sect actually had so many ancient, frozen treasures, all containing figures from the sect's history!
Although the vast majority of them turned into skeletons, those who were able to awaken were all at the Rule Realm! This brought his dream of ruling the Divine Sect and leading his sect to submit to Divine Venerable Zhao one step further away.
Of course, he later found that the situation was not so bad, and not everyone adapted to the new era; his strength was still recovering.
Furthermore, he discovered that many of the old men in his lineage had been resurrected. After they came out, they were still bound by the Fate Soul Oath and would support him.
Among them, this Moon Bloom Daoist was an Old Ancestor belonging to his own lineage.
After the resurrected Old Ancestor Yueying confirmed that he was one of their own, the Mist Walker told him about his grand plan. However, to gain the complete support of the Old Ancestor, he still needed to personally meet Zhao Xing.
So the Mist Walker got his hands on a few passes.
During this Daoist conference, Moon Bloom Daoist followed Mist Walker in the form of Straw Man Clone and came to the Great Zhou.
Moon Bloom Daoist is considered one of the older folks who adapted to the new era relatively quickly, but he still found it somewhat difficult to adapt after entering the Great Zhou.
He cursed at Mist Walker, his disciple from who-knows-how-many generations ago. "This Zhao Xing, even in a small place he has to spread this kind of knowledge. A mere Fifth Grade official, holding a Shang Heng Instrument), actually managed to see through my social status, it's simply... simply..."
"You scoundrel!" the Fifth Grade official in charge of reception immediately roared, "Old man, how dare you slander the Grand Minister of Agriculture! Do you want to go to jail?!"
"You..." Moon Bloom Daoist was dumbfounded. He had actually been reprimanded by a Fifth Grade Agricultural Official. How dare he! Absolutely audacious!
"I'm so sorry, my Martial Uncle uncle..." The Mist Walker subtly pointed to his head. "Hmph." The official in charge finally let them off the hook. "Go wait over there quickly." "Yes, yes, yes." The Mist Walker pushed the cursing Moon Bloom Daoist into the waiting hall. "Alright, stop pushing me." Moon Bloom Daoist shook off the Mist Walker's hand. "Martial Uncle uncle, please calm down." The Mist Walker said with a forced smile.
"How can I calm down? We can fly but we're not allowed to, we have to stay on the boat. It's such a ridiculous rule," said the Mist Walker. "We're lucky. Look at those fellow Daoists from the Corpse Puppet Sect over there."
Moon Bloom Daoist looked to the other side, where an elder of the Corpse Puppet Sect carrying a coffin was paying money. "Hmm? What are they doing?"
"Paying the mortuary fees."
Watching the Corpse Puppet Sect obediently pay the mortuary fee before leaving the Magic Array portal, Moon Bloom Daoist sighed, "Times have truly changed."
"Let's go." Moon Bloom Daoist said nothing more.
Even a top-tier Corpse Puppet Sect expert was charged a mortgaging fee, so it's not unacceptable that his Straw Man Clone would sit in the cargo hold.
Tianyong Province, Abundance Capital, Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty, as of July 18th, 4.56 million foreigners have entered the Great Zhou territory from all directions."
"Ninety-nine percent of them stayed at the border, only wanting to listen to the Grand Minister of Agriculture preach through the Cloud Dream Academy, and did not intend to go deep into the heart of our dynasty."
"Only forty or fifty thousand people are heading towards the Daoyuan Continent."
"Hurry!" Ji Si reported. "These are basically all experts of the Third Grade or above." Ji Che looked at the names flashing on the Heavenly Luck Golden List.
Looking again at the movement trajectory of the light spots on the Mountain and River Diagram, he couldn't help but sigh, "Of these forty or fifty thousand people, those of the first or second rank make up thirty percent."
"Brother Wang has truly attracted all the strongest warriors in the world this time. Such a grand spectacle is truly unprecedented, even 500,000 years ago."
It's probably a rare sight indeed.
Ji Si cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty Qitian with boundless fortune and is wise and powerful." "What does this have to do with me?" Ji Che said modestly.
"Your Majesty, while the Grand Minister of Agriculture's discourse on the Dao certainly contributed to this grand occasion, it is Your Majesty's Ascension Plan and your lofty ambitions that are the main reason attracting them!"
"Announcing ascension and spreading it throughout the world was a matter for the 110th year of the Yuan Hunting Era; those who were meant to come have already come." Although Ji Che said this, he was still very pleased.
In recent decades, he could clearly feel that the fortunes of the Great Zhou were on the rise! This year it was especially evident.
More than four million people came to Great Zhou, and in the past six months, official letters applying to settle in Great Zhou have been pouring in from all directions. Many people were attracted by Great Zhou and decided to stay permanently.
These people are all of high quality. After all, those who can organize international tourism must have some ability. Low-quality people rarely have such initiative.
As a result, the fortune of the Great Zhou naturally rose rapidly.
"I hope that after the Dao Discussion Conference, more people will stay behind, Elder Brother." Ji Che said with anticipation. "Even if these powerful individuals are unwilling to serve in the court, it would be a great benefit for them to remain in the Great Zhou."
Ji Che could sense that he was only one step away from the true Ascension Realm.
August 6th, the Start of Autumn, Daoyuan Continent.
The Heavenly section inside the [Dojo] was already packed with people.
Ji Che personally came to show his support, and almost all the civil and military officials who could attend were present. Before the discussion, there was a series of ceremonies.
This also includes the worship of the three gods.
This time, however, the three gods were no longer worshipped separately, but were treated together as equals, without any distinction of rank. After the sacrifice, amidst the music and dance, Zhao Xing arrived at a Heaven's Heart Palace and, together with the civil and military officials, paid homage to Ji Che. Then, he stepped out of the hall on a cloud and landed on the Dao Debate Platform.
"Boom!"
Dao Debate Platform rose higher and higher, the Eight Directions Earth Mirror also rose and disappeared into the sky. At this moment, the rings on the Divine Tree Lecture Platform radiated light.
Above him sat Hundred Flowers Meditation Cushion, where Zhao Xing sat cross-legged.
As he sat on it, the rings of the sacred tree rose up. The Amplifying Tree Ring reappeared.
After that comes the Ritual Cultivator to calm the mind and strengthen the body, enhancing the experience for the spectators.
These steps were part of showcasing the strength of the Great Zhou. Under Tong Wenzhuo's leadership, hundreds of Ritual Cultivator put in their best effort to cast spells.
When everything returned to calm. "Buzz~"
The sacred Dao Debate Platform closest to Zhao Xing continued to rise, stopping at a height one foot below Zhao Xing's. The sky projected a figure from it—it was Mi Fu!
Who is this person?
"Mi Fu, he doesn't seem to be very famous, yet he was the first to discuss philosophy with the Grand Minister of Agriculture?" "He wasn't even the Lesser Agriculture Decree, so he's quite famous."
"What merits or abilities did Mi Fu possess?"
"I'm so envious."
Mi Fu couldn't hear the voices below, but out of the corner of his eye, he could see many people's lips moving. He knew without a doubt that these people were talking about him behind his back.
"Brother Mi, relax, don't worry about others," Zhao Xing transmitted his voice.
In truth, Mi Fu was not someone who cared much about fame and fortune. If he had, he wouldn't have experienced so many ups and downs, rises and falls. Mi Fu even considered giving away the credit, for example, letting Liu Tianning be the first to discuss the Dao.
However, Zhao Xing defied the objections and directly confirmed his position.
"Okay." Mi Fu took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his mindset so as not to disappoint Zhao Xing.
The opening remarks were still made by Zhao Xing: "Primordial energy has no name, but it gives birth to different things; primordial energy is all-encompassing, but it gives birth to different kinds. It is all-encompassing without form, and is thus called primordial energy."
To discuss the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique, one must first discuss the Qi Theory. Zhao Xing is stating the theme at the outset by explaining what primordial energy is. "Primordial energy is the origin of all things; it gathers to give rise to all phenomena and myriad forms; when it disperses, all phenomena vanish."
The second paragraph extends the concept of vital energy to the human body.
"Its size has no bounds, its smallness has no limits; it is chaotic and simple, containing infinite vitality, like the seed of an embryo, the foundation of all paths." The third paragraph begins to expound on the Way of Primordial Qi, proceeding step by step. This is to explain the Way of Agricultural Official through Primordial Qi.
"The way of the Agricultural Official is Heaven, Earth, and Man. We are born of the Earth and our lives depend on Heaven. Heaven and Earth Unite their energies, we are called Man." "Cultivating the Way by combining energies and Essence Gathering is the method. This is the foundation of cultivation."
At this point, it's all the same old story. The first stage of the ancient cultivation system is the Essence Gathering of primordial energy. Advanced cultivators already have a very thorough understanding of primordial energy.
However, Zhao Xing then First-Turn:
"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the beginning of the Great Dao. From this primordial energy, all living things were born. Therefore, heaven and earth possess two energies." "The first energy is called 'Yuan' (元), and the second energy is called 'Ling' (灵)."
"Primordial energy is the essence, and spiritual energy is its function. Primordial energy is like the stillness of the deep sea, the fundamental source; spiritual energy is like the movement of waves, the manifestation of creation. All things in the world depend on these two for their existence; this is the great principle of heaven and earth."
At this point, it's no longer just Qi Theory, but Qi Theory " that includes spiritual energy. Many people had doubts, but they still listened patiently.
"Primordial energy is the body's foundation. The Agricultural Official Essence Gathering, builds the Spirit Bridge between heaven and earth, and cultivates the Earthly Fiend and heavenly spirits. The energy transforms into pure primordial energy, thus giving rise to Pure Origin Soil."
This part is quite normal; it simply describes how Agricultural Official's cultivation went through four realms: Essence Gathering, Spirit Bridge, Earthly Fiend, and Heavenly Gang, before finally entering the Pure Yuan Realm, where he could cultivate Pure Origin Soil.
"Spiritual energy is used to manifest creation. The primordial Yuanshuo Era and the myriad forms of heaven and earth allow spiritual energy to be absorbed into the body. In the Inner Landscape, there is no evil influence on earth, no malevolent force in the sky, and pure essence is born."
"Mi Fu and I created this method, which we call the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique."
Even a powerful figure like the Mist Walker was completely bewildered by what he heard. However, the Moon Bloom Daoist beside him listened with eyes shining.
"Martial Uncle, did you understand?"
"Of course." Moon Bloom Daoist nodded.
"In this era, there are still many places in the world where spiritual energy has not dissipated and the world has not declined. After completing the construction of the Spirit Bridge between heaven and earth, the Agricultural Official can go to such secret realms to cultivate."
"Skipping the process of practicing the Heavenly Gang Earthly Fiend allows Pure Origin Soil to be born within the body." "Such a thing actually happened?" The Mist Walker was shocked.
"However, at that time, we only knew that such a phenomenon existed, and that there was only a chance of Pure Origin Soil being born, not a certainty."
"Zhao Chen'an explained the essence of the birth of Pure Origin Soil, starting with the Qi Theory, and told you that it was because the Agricultural Official had undergone the transformation of the Earthly Fiend and Heavenly Gangs that he was able to create the conditions for the birth of Pure Origin Soil."
"Then he approached the Qi Theory from the Qi Theory, saying that this process can be omitted. Why can it be omitted? Because spiritual energy is the manifestation of creation."
"Of course, he has only talked about the Tao so far. How to capture such opportunities is the 'method' of cultivation."
"He probably really has mastered such a spell." A divine light flashed in Moon Bloom Daoist's eyes. "At the beginning of time, spiritual energy was born... the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique, what a magnificent Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique!"
"His willingness to preach to the world makes him a peerless genius, even in my time, capable of founding a new school of thought!"
The Mist Walker couldn't understand, but he could sense the old man's admiration for Divine Venerable Zhao: "Martial Uncle, do you believe what I've said now? Are you willing to support my plan?"
Moon Bloom Daoist had already made up his mind, but he still stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't rush, let's wait and see." After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he began to discuss the Dao with Mi Fu, further elaborating on the Profound Yellow Origin-Analysis Technique.
Mi Fu asked, "May I ask the Grand Minister of Agriculture, what is the difference between the spirit of spiritual energy and the spirit of the soul?" Zhao Xing replied, "Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Mi."
Mi Fu then wrote a word in the air, "This is Ji."
Then he wrote down another word, "This too is spirit."
Zhao Xing asked, "What is the meaning of these two characters?"
Mi Fu replied, "The Rain Department represents rainfall. Below are three offering platforms, corresponding to the three gods of Heaven, Earth, and Man: the Heavenly God, the God of Soil, and the God of Grain."
"What does 'spirit' mean?" Xing asked again.
"The horizontal line in the middle represents a person, crawling on the ground, giving thanks for the blessings of heaven and earth."
"The word "earth" below represents the earth, which proves that the spiritual energy has completed a cycle." Zhao Xing asked again, "What does fellow Daoist mean by rainfall?"
Mi Fu said, "It means that spiritual energy is not prominent in this era, but outside the Profound Yellow World, there will be a great rain of spiritual energy. People in it can use the spiritual energy to comprehend the supernatural powers of creation and be able to break through the void and ascend to heaven."
Hearing the exchange between the two, Ji Che Heaven's Heart Palace beamed with joy.
You, Zhao Xing Mi Fu, are smuggling in your own agenda, indirectly sabotaging my Ascension Plan! —Divine Might Colonel, Writer's Note
