Xuandu sat quietly on the futon, his green robes fluttering slightly. His eyes, like a deep pool in an ancient well, reflected Tongtian's eyes, which were churning with anticipation and resentment.
He never expected that his master's thoughts would coincide with his own.
The Jie Sect Myriad Immortals, many of whom are exceptionally talented, yet they are bound by the Heavenly Dao Shackles, unable to break through the limit of Quasi-Saint throughout their lives.
Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the San Xiao of Saint Mother Wudang, the Saint Mother Jinling, the Saint Mother Guiling... which one of them wasn't exceptionally talented and blessed with great fortune?
Even more remarkable Guest of Purple Heaven Palace like the Nether River Kunpeng, whose origins are no less than those of Sage, yet they have wasted countless eons, their path to sainthood still a distant dream.
All this is because the positions of the sages in Heavenly Dao are predetermined, and the Primordial Violet Qi has already been divided.
Without the opportunity to Defy Fate, even if the Myriad Immortals Come to Court Interception Sect, it would only be a tragic backdrop in the great calamity, eventually dissipating with the calamity and turning into a few sighs in the annals of history.
But I, on the other hand, have this chance to Defy Fate.
"Master."
Xuandu spoke slowly, his voice calm, yet carrying an unwavering certainty that seemed to pierce through the ages:
" The Hunyuan Dao can be passed on."
As the four words fell, Tongtian's eyes flashed with Sword Intent!
He suddenly stood up, his body radiating the Qingping Sword Intent that illuminated the Entire Biyou Palace with a clear light.
"Really?!"
"Really."
Xuandu nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the faint aura of Myriad Immortals appearing outside the palace:
" The Path of Hunyuan is the Path of Transcendence. It does not rely on the Heavenly Dao, nor on external things, but only on one's own body, and only invincible in battle."
"The foundation of this path lies in three points."
He held up three fingers, speaking slowly and deliberately:
"Firstly, Dao Heart is clear and one's will is as firm as iron."
"We must sever our dependence on the Heavenly Dao Authority, break free from our obsession with the Primordial Violet Qi, and realize that we ourselves are the Dao, and our own hearts are Heaven."
"If there is still even a sliver of wishful thinking or dependence in your heart, you will never be able to take that step."
Tongtian's gaze sharpened, and he slowly nodded.
How could he not know this?
In the Great Wilderness, billions of people gathered, and all cultivation revered the Heavenly Dao, with the Sage Authority being supreme.
Let alone ordinary cultivators, even Heavenly Dao Sage like him would find it difficult to completely break free from the Shackles the Heavenly Dao.
Xuandu succeeded because he created his own martial arts, which was inherently against the will of Heaven, and his Dao Heart had already Transcendence.
But how many Jie Sect Disciples can sever this dependence?
Secondly.
Xuandu continued:
"Deeply rooted, with a perfect origin."
" The Path of Hunyuan is a leap in the level of life and a transformation in the Law Essence."
"Without a sufficiently deep foundation and a flawless origin, a forced breakthrough will inevitably result in a backlash, leading to death and the dissipation of one's cultivation."
Tongtian frowned slightly.
This is even more demanding.
Although the Jie Sect Disciples, how many of them can truly refine their foundation to perfection?
Even among Personal Disciple like Duobao and Zhao Gongming, it's difficult to say their foundation was flawless.
After all, their cultivation paths all follow the laws of Heavenly Dao and are influenced by the Heavenly Dao Laws, so their origins are inevitably mixed with the imprint of Heavenly Dao.
Achieving complete perfection is easier said than done.
Thirdly.
Xuandu's voice turned deep:
"We must overcome the Great Dao Tribulation."
" The Zenith Heaven is Transcendence being Great Dao Recognition, incomparable to the Heavenly Dao Sage."
"When one attains enlightenment, one must invoke the Great Dao Will and undergo Nine Tribulations to solidify the Primordial Dao Fruit."
"The calamity of this tribulation is a hundred times greater than that of Heavenly Tribulation."
"The slightest carelessness will result in the complete annihilation of one's Divine Soul and True Spirit Gone."
After he finished speaking, Biyou Palace fell into a deathly silence.
Tongtian slowly sat back on the cloud bed, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
The Dao Heart, the foundation, the Great Dao Tribulation... each one is an insurmountable chasm.
Although the Jie Sect Disciples has many disciples, how many of them can simultaneously meet all three requirements?
"Master."
Xuandu raised his eyes and looked towards Tongtian:
"I have a method that may help the Jie Sect Disciples... embark on this path."
Tongtian's eyes suddenly lit up:
"What method?"
"Based on martial arts."
Xuandu, word by word:
"The martial art I created is a way to Temper Oneself and Unleash Potential. Not Relying on External Objects, but only on one's own body, which is in line with the Path of Hunyuan."
"This disciple is willing to pass on the Martial Dao True Meaning to the Interception Sect."
"All Jie Sect Disciples may cultivate martial arts, using martial arts to temper their bodies, Soul Refining, and strengthen their Root Consolidation."
"Once the foundation is perfected and the Dao Heart is clear, then we can trigger the Great Dao Tribulation... perhaps then we can make a gamble."
Upon hearing this, Tongtian's eyes flashed with a sharp light!
"Practicing martial arts as well?"
His mind raced, and he instantly understood Xuandu's meaning.
Martial arts is a path created by Xuandu, which has been Great Dao Recognition and is the foundation for the manifestation of humanity.
This path does not follow the Heavenly Dao, nor does it rely on external things; it focuses solely on self-cultivation, which can make up for the shortcomings of cultivating the Heavenly Dao.
If one can temper their foundation and replenish their origin through martial arts, perhaps the Jie Sect Disciples can truly possess the potential to break through to the Hunyuan!
"Good!"
Tongtian clapped his hands and laughed:
"This method is excellent!"
" Martial Dao Body Tempering and strengthen the foundation; Martial Dao Heart Tempering and solidify the Dao Heart."
" Dual Dao Cultivation, complementing each other...may truly pave an unprecedented Path of Transcendence for our Interception Sect!"
He looked at Xuandu, his eyes filled with satisfaction:
" Xuandu, this matter... is now entirely under your jurisdiction."
"All the Jie Sect Myriad Immortals are at your command."
" Martial Dao Practitioner can receive your true teachings."
Xuandu rose and bowed deeply.
"Disciple will certainly not fail Master's expectations."
He also had his own plans.
The wider the martial arts spread and the more practitioners there are, the richer the feedback one receives through the Total Sum System.
If Jie Sect Disciples can break through through martial arts, the higher their cultivation level, the stronger the feedback, and the further they can go on their Path of Hunyuan.
This is a win-win situation.
Furthermore, it marks the true beginning of Transcendence for the Interception Sect!
"But."
Tongtian suddenly spoke, his voice now tinged with seriousness:
"The dissemination of martial arts should not be rushed."
"Especially now, with the great calamity about to begin and Saints surrounding us."
"If Yuanshi, Jieyin Zhunti, and others were to learn that our Interception Sect intends to open the Path of Hunyuan through martial arts... there might be unforeseen circumstances."
Xuandu's gaze turned slightly cold:
"Master, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
"The spread of martial arts should begin with Personal Disciple and core disciples."
"Once the foundation is solid, we can gradually expand outwards."
"During the great calamity, the secrets of Heavenly Secret are in chaos, which is precisely the opportunity for secret planning."
Tongtian nodded slowly:
"Good."
He paused, then flicked his sleeve:
"Go and prepare."
"Three days later, in the Biyou Palace, I will summon my Personal Disciple to impart the Martial Dao True Meaning."
"Yes."
Xuandu said no more and turned to leave Biyou Palace.
Outside the palace, celestial mists swirled and purple clouds rose.
Golden Ao Island stands majestically, its aura of Myriad Immortals rising and falling like the tides, subtly resonating with the soaring Martial Dao Will on the East Sea Coast.
Xuandu stood alone before the white jade steps, his green robes fluttering slightly, his gaze sweeping across the entire Immortal Island.
Duobao Peak, Golden Ao Peak, Three Immortal Islands, Luofu Cave... one after another, immortal mountains and blessed lands appear, with varying degrees of cultivation aura, but all carrying the unique grandeur and vitality of the Interception Sect.
"The spread of martial arts... begins here."
Xuandu muttered to himself and took a step forward.
His figure moved like lightning, disappearing from the Biyou Palace in an instant.
Direction... Duobao Peak, where Daoist Duobao resides.
