Seeing True Person Ziyang frowning in thought, Su Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"The way of Tao emphasizes acting naturally."
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
"Master, there's no need to worry so much. When the time is right, you'll understand everything naturally."
True Person Ziyang's eyes widened instantly. He looked up at Su Chen with an extremely solemn expression, deeply shocked by Su Chen's words.
These three sentences, though simple, were like the finishing touch, giving True Person Ziyang a sudden realization.
The phrase "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao" in particular gave him a sense of profound mystery.
True Person Ziyang gained some insight, Dao charm flowed within his body, with the Power of Karma surrounding him.
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The path of Tao emphasizes acting naturally.
Daoist Ziyang repeated Su Chen's words to himself, and his state of mind suddenly underwent an unprecedented change, as if a fog had been cleared away.
This feeling is hard to express in words. It's like when you were a child, you didn't understand many things, but as you grow up and experience Yuelai and more things, you naturally come to understand.
He used to struggle with how to fully comprehend the portrait, but he couldn't do it no matter what he tried.
It's like trying to make a child understand the adult world; he'll never be able to empathize, because their perceptions are completely different.
This should be the fundamental reason why he was unable to understand the painting.
He couldn't understand the Tao depicted in the painting because his thinking was fundamentally flawed.
"Road!"
True Person Ziyang murmured something, and his restless heart gradually calmed down, Mi Man the Dao charm surrounding him grew stronger.
Why have I never been able to grasp the meaning behind the portrait?
The reason is actually quite simple.
Because there is no Tao in that portrait at all!
And that's... what needs to be understood.
There is a very classic saying in the Dao Scripture: Man follows the Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows Nature.
The Tao follows the natural way!
Nature!
This is the core point.
In an instant, True Person Ziyang had an epiphany, and the aura within him instantly broke through from the Saint King Realm to the Saint Emperor Realm.
At this time.
Looking at the portrait in the Nine Cloud Daoist Temple again, it was no longer just a Young Daoist, but a Group Portrait.
The Young Daoist sat in the middle, surrounded by dozens of people who held all sorts of Magical Treasure. Some had gentle expressions, some exuded an imposing aura, and some remained calm and composed.
True Person Ziyang's expression was solemn. "Have I truly grasped the essence of this?"
He never imagined that understanding the content of the Painting was so simple; all it took was letting go of one's obsession.
At the same time, a strange message appeared in his mind.
Among them are many Taoism Cultivation Method, and even some Immortal Rank Cultivation Method.
Moreover, he could sense that if he continued to comprehend it, the Painting could grant him an even more terrifying inherited Cultivation Method.
"This..."
His eyes were filled with deep shock.
Immortal Rank!
What a terrifying inheritance! It actually contains Immortal Rank Cultivation Method.
However, True Person Ziyang still didn't know who the person in the portrait was, but he stopped worrying about it. As long as he improved his strength, he would eventually meet the person in the portrait.
Turning his head again to look at Su Chen, True Person Ziyang bowed deeply and sighed helplessly:
"Young Master Su, I can never repay this debt of gratitude."
Su Chen was somewhat taken aback by True Person Ziyang's sudden enlightenment. "You've grasped the essence in just a few words?"
That's outrageous!
However, his expression remained calm and composed.
Perhaps True Person Ziyang was just one step away from success, but Su Chen gave him a kick.
Su Chen nodded, then turned and left the Nine Cloud Daoist Temple.
After leaving Nine Cloud Daoist Temple, Su Chen glanced at Wangyun Mountain. He estimated that Su Qingtian and the others would still be about a hundred years away from completely devouring the Demon King Origin.
He had nothing to do during this time.
Suddenly, Su Chen seemed to remember something, and he turned his head to look at the Nine Cloud Daoist Temple.
"How about... I establish my own sect?"
He didn't want to establish a large sect; he just wanted to find two successors, like the Nine Cloud Daoist Temple.
The Su Family has grown a lot and has the resources of the entire Eastern Domain, so they don't need his help at all. His biggest role is to stay in the Su Family and deter troublemakers.
"It seems feasible!"
Su Chen quickly made up his mind, and in the following days, he began to travel through the Eastern Domain to select a suitable successor.
He gave this sect a very imposing name.
Lingxiao Sect!
Su Chen didn't hope that this sect would become huge in the Future; he hoped that those who emerged from it would be the world's top experts.
That's the fundamental reason why he chose this name.
Su Chen's system was inherently very laid-back, and he usually had nothing to do anyway, so this made it even easier for him to find something to do.
For a long time afterward, Su Chen traveled around.
Unfortunately, after wandering around the Eastern Domain for nearly five years, he still hadn't found a suitable candidate.
The Cangyun Empire.
This is an empire located on the outskirts of the Eastern Domain. Its power is not particularly strong; it has only barely reached the King Tier.
Meng City.
Su Chen walked down the street with his hands behind his back. He looked incredibly young, but his demeanor had an air of premature aging, which seemed rather contradictory.
His main principle in accepting disciples is to accept them based on fate, and secondly, to accept disciples with good character so that they will not betray him.
Therefore, no suitable candidate has been found in the past five years.
"Tomorrow is the time for all the major sects to recruit disciples. I heard that the Shuiyun Sect will also be there. They are one of only two King Tier forces in our Cangyun Empire."
"That's right. The Shuiyun Sect hasn't accepted any disciples for almost five years. I estimate that this Disciple Recruitment Conference will attract a lot of people."
"Of course! I heard that genius from Qiuyun City is also participating this time."
"You're talking about Lin Yun'er, right? She's nothing special. The real genius is Mu Qingling. She's Spirit Body, and she broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage at the age of nineteen. That's not bad even in the Eastern Domain."
"Even if she's a genius, it's useless. Lin Yun'er is a member of the Imperial Family. I heard that Mu Qingling and Lin Yun'er have a grudge, and Mu Qingling will be coming this time too. I doubt any sect will dare to accept her..."
Whispers continued to rise from the surroundings, and Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
Disciple Recruitment Conference?
Such things also happened at Wangyun Mountain. The Su Family even took the lead in organizing Disciple Recruitment Conference, the purpose of which was to help other sects absorb high-quality new blood.
"We could go take a look."
There are usually quite a few people at Disciple Recruitment Conference, so it's a good opportunity for him to see if there are any suitable candidates.
The next day.
Su Chen arrived at the venue for the Disciple Recruitment Conference early, where it was already packed with people, including many young men and women who had arrived early to wait.
The Disciple Recruitment Conference was quite lively, attracting nearly 50,000 spectators.
Even so, half of the seats in the Venue were still empty.
Su Chen casually found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly.
Before long, many sects arrived, and the crowds who had come to become disciples were also ignited, their eyes filled with longing.
Joining a good sect means a lot; they can get better resources and a better cultivation environment, which has a huge impact on their Future achievements.
