"???"
(ΩДΩ).
Everyone.
Qi?
Mythological Dharma Form?
Mythological Origin?
Mythological Authority?
Your Majesty, you call this an introduction? You call this the basics?
Good heavens. No wonder, no wonder the first realm could suppress someone from a whole major realm above by crossing realms. This was just too terrifying, too unbelievable. It would be a miracle if such power couldn't suppress someone across realms.
And the first realm was already like this. What about the second? The third? The fourth? The fifth?
"Supreme over all the heavens? Transcending all the heavens?"
Everyone drew a sharp breath. Their minds reeled, and they felt their scalps tingle with disbelief.
"Do you have any questions?"
Di Jun asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, what is qi? And how do we condense qi runes?"
Coming back to their senses, Bai Ze asked.
This was nothing like the Immortal Dao they cultivated. The Immortal Dao was no more than absorbing and refining spiritual energy, then, at a higher level, comprehending Heaven and Earth, condensing the Great Dao, and even taking control of it. It was easy to understand at a glance, and not especially difficult.
But Mythology clearly involved an entirely unfamiliar domain. Even though Di Jun had explained it in broad terms, there were naturally still many things they did not understand.
"Qi is origin, culmination, energy, spiritual energy, the Great Dao, and so on. Anything formed from matter or illusion is qi. Qi is the source of all energy and can create energy of any level or grade."
"As for how to condense qi runes, how do you condense your individual insights into the Great Dao into a complete Great Dao Rune?"
Di Jun explained gently.
"Great Dao Runes. I see."
Everyone understood.
So, by combining different elements of energy and using the Great Dao as the core, they could construct complete qi? That was easy enough to understand.
"Your Majesty, I understand Dharma Aspects. But what is a Mythological Dharma Form? What should we use as our goal when condensing one?"
Fuxi asked after considering his words.
"All living beings in the Primordial Wilderness take human form when they transform. But what were they like before transforming? You and Nuwa, for instance, had human heads and serpent bodies. Then there are the Ancestral Witch True Bodies, and so on. Those are your true forms. Naturally, when condensing a Dharma Aspect, shaping it after your true form is more suitable."
"As for mythology, it possesses an origin and a source, embodies uniqueness, and bears fantasy, supremacy, and immortality among other traits. That is what makes it mythological. You need only build these traits into your Dharma Aspect and give it these authorities. That is all there is to mythology."
"Do not make it seem too lofty or difficult. Everything begins at the beginning. Shape and build it up, bit by bit."
"The Human Immortal Realm can generally be divided into the early, middle, and late stages, followed by the peak. The early stage is condensing 'qi,' the middle stage is condensing a mythological form, the late stage is building a Mythological Dharma Form, and the peak is taking control of Illusory Authority. That is a rough division, but it should help you understand your current level more clearly."
Di Jun spoke slowly.
"We are enlightened."
Fuxi understood, as did everyone else.
"Your Majesty, what is Illusory Authority?"
Nuwa asked.
"What is the difference between these two?"
Instead of answering, Di Jun turned his hands over. A Minor World appeared as a phantom in his left palm, while Earth, Wind, Water, Fire emerged in his right. In an instant, they gave rise to a miniature Minor World.
"Traits. The illusory and the real."
Everyone pondered this.
"It is impossible for someone in the Human Immortal Realm to condense complete Authority. Their Status is insufficient, so they must settle for a prototype. The complete version is what one must accomplish in the Earth Immortal Realm."
Seeing that Nuwa and the others understood, Di Jun continued.
"We are enlightened."
Nuwa thanked him gratefully.
"Does anyone still have questions?"
Di Jun's gaze swept over them. Seeing no one speak, he turned to the Ten Heavenly Sages. "This is why I bestowed the Mythological Status cultivation method upon Nuwa and the others, but not upon you."
"Mythological Status is special, and not everyone can wield it. If you cultivate it without sufficient talent or Authority, it may not only fail to benefit you, it could even trap you in your current realm forever. The Mythological Cultivation System is different."
"You can think of one as a specialized path and the other as a universal one. The universal path may be ordinary, but it allows for faster cultivation. Moreover, if you cultivate to the pinnacle, you can still comprehend a Mythological Status of your own. They are simply different paths."
The Ten Heavenly Sages had joined the Heavenly Court when it was first established, and had always worked hard for it. So Di Jun owed them an explanation. Even if they would not resent him, he understood the principles of ruling his subordinates.
Teach everyone the Mythological Status cultivation method?
Setting aside whether he could deduce that many methods, the biggest question was whether just anyone could cultivate them. Take Taiyi, Nuwa, and the others: every one of them was a top expert in the Primordial Wilderness, and each was among the best in at least one field.
That might not be true of others. There was no need to belabor the point.
"We understand."
"We understand."
"We understand."
The Ten Heavenly Sages quickly rose and bowed deeply to Di Jun, their expressions reverent and full of admiration.
"Make your preparations. Once all living beings in the Heavenly Court have switched to the Mythological Cultivation System, the Heavenly Court will be ready for its complete transformation."
"The duties of the Heavenly Court's various departments are still in disarray, and the different systems of order remain incomplete. When the Heavenly Court subdues the Primordial Wilderness, the time will come for the great investiture."
The words rang out with force.
The day of the great investiture!
Investing the gods!
Assigning the various departments!
The might of the Heavenly Court would subdue the entire Primordial Wilderness!!!
Why had they made no appointments yet? Why were the various departments of the Heavenly Court still somewhat disorganized?
If the Heavenly Court was weak, what was the point of making a fuss over all that? It would be no more than children playing house. Without the foundation or the ability, no amount of arrangements would help. They could wait until the Heavenly Court reached that level before putting everything in order.
"Yes!!!"
"Yes!!!"
"Yes!!!"
The Heavenly Court's senior officials rose, their spirits soaring as they shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty, about the Purple Mansion..."
Taiyi asked.
"I still have a few matters to confirm. Once they are settled, we will suppress the Purple Mansion. But you need not conceal so much anymore."
"East King Duke will likely attack the Heavenly Realm before long. When he does, make sure the living beings of the Primordial Wilderness learn what it means to tremble. We will also see just how much the Chaos Demon God has staked on East King Duke. If he is gone, then the Purple Mansion need not exist either."
Di Jun said with a faint smile.
"We obey Your Majesty's decree."
Taiyi's eyes lit up, and everyone else grinned.
For the sake of the Heavenly Court's grand plan, they had deliberately held back each time. Who would enjoy hiding their strength if they didn't have to? What was the point of cultivating if not to make yourself powerful?
They could finally lift the seal?
That was wonderful!
Not to mention the others, even Di Jun looked forward to seeing the expressions of the Primordial Wilderness's living beings when the entire Heavenly Court unleashed the power of the Mythological Cultivation System one day. What would the various mighty figures and experts think?
Tremble!
They would tremble, without a doubt!!!
That would be quite a sight.
"Your Majesty, the Dao Ancestor and the Chaos Demon God seem to be playing a game of chess. If the Heavenly Court reveals its full strength, might it make them wary? If so, that could create hidden dangers."
Fuxi asked thoughtfully.
"As long as I do not reveal my strength, there is no problem. As for you, will they care about anyone beneath the Primordial Unity Realm? You are all no more than ants to them."
"Besides, I already have some guesses about their motives, but I have yet to confirm them. That is why we still need to use East King Duke to learn the truth. If my guess is right, the stronger we become, the happier Hongjun will be. So there is no need to worry too much."
Di Jun shook his head and spoke meaningfully.
The others pondered his words, then sensibly bowed and withdrew.
His Majesty would surely need to cultivate the Mythological Cultivation System. And it was time for them to cultivate as well!!!
"Switch to the Mythological System..."
Watching them all leave, Di Jun's gaze deepened. He slowly closed his eyes.
A magnificent chapter was about to unfold!
