Enlightenment!

Myriad Forms Hall

In the starlight, Zhou Hao's figure appeared out of thin air.

"A day goes by so fast..." Zhou Hao opened his eyes, still somewhat unwilling.

After meeting the sect leader at the Profound Heaven Palace and receiving a reward that directly promoted him to an inner disciple, he and Liu Yu first went to the Myriad Forms Hall.

Outer disciples who enter the inner sect will have one more free opportunity to study and comprehend.

For Zhou Hao, who had just grasped the true meaning of the two Great Daos and broken through to the ' Domain Realm of the Dao ' realm in the Path of the Universe, a day of comprehension within the Myriad Forms World was even more helpful than several years of arduous enlightenment.

"If you want to come back to study this again in the future, you'll need 3,000 merit points each time," Zhou Hao shook his head.

A single session of enlightenment at the Myriad Forms Hall is equivalent to learning a supernatural or secret technique.

Wow~~~~

Liu Yu, who was waiting nearby, also disappeared into the main hall under the starlight. Zhou Hao looked at the cloud bed above the hall, where a thin, middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged, staring at him as if he were seeing something incredible.

That was the immortal in charge of the Myriad Forms Hall.

Steward Senluo was not present at the time. After he and Liu Yu entered the Myriad Forms Hall, they met this ' Immortal Wuchen '.

"Immortal Wuchen," Zhou Hao respectfully, "This disciple has finished his comprehension."

Shouldn't the merit points reward be given out by now?

Previously, the sect leader only rewarded the person with merit points for killing the Yaksha demon and advancing to the inner disciple level. As for the reward for comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao, that was bestowed by the Myriad Forms Hall.

"What a monster!" Immortal Wuchen thought to himself in amazement.

How long has it been?

It has been more than seven months since I last comprehended the true meaning of the Droplet Great Dao in the Myriad Forms World.

"Inner disciple Zhou Hao," Immortal Wuchen said.

"Completely grasp a ' Domain Realm of the Dao ' and be rewarded with 1,000 merit points."

"Having comprehended the true meaning of the ' Tai Chi Great Dao,' you are rewarded with two thousand merit points."

"Having comprehended the true meaning of the ' Heaven and Earth Great Dao,' you are rewarded with two thousand merit points."

Whoosh! Starlight fell from the sky above the hall, and Zhou Hao's disciple token gained another five thousand merit points.

Adding the 18,200 merit points previously bestowed by the sect leader, and the remaining 600 points from the last exchange of cultivation techniques...

"Twenty-three thousand eight hundred merit points!" Zhou Hao smiled.

I'll go to the Dao Treasury Hall soon; I need all the useful supernatural powers and secret techniques!

"Zhou Hao." Immortal Wuchen looked at the excited little fellow and smiled, "Are you going to the Dao Treasury Hall later?"

"Yes." Zhou Hao nodded.

Once you have merit points, you'll naturally want to use them.

Isn't it normal to use supernatural powers and secret techniques to enhance strength?

"Your talent is so extraordinary, and your understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is so profound that even after a thousand years of cultivation, I have never seen anything like it before," Immortal Wuchen exclaimed.

"Brother Kong Fang only has you as his disciple, so there are a few things I still feel compelled to remind you of."

"Please speak, Uncle-Master," Zhou Hao said respectfully.

"You are only twenty years old, yet you have already comprehended three of the Great Dao's true meanings, and more than a dozen of the Lesser Dao's true meanings. Do you have a clear direction for the future?"

The Immortal Wuchen looked directly into Zhou Hao's eyes.

"You must know that whether it is a drop of water, the universe, or Tai Chi, they are all extremely mysterious and inconceivable 'Great Daos,' extremely difficult to comprehend. An ordinary person can comprehend just one of them, which is enough to study for a lifetime, and with this, they may even become a celestial being, or even a stronger being. What about you? Do you intend to follow all three Great Daos?"

Zhou Hao was taken aback.

He comprehended the Droplet Great Dao through the guidance of the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability's inherited message. His comprehension of Tai Chi and Qiankun came from the <Tai Chi Three Chapters> passed down by his master, Daoist Kong Fang.

Everything happens naturally; when you've mastered the skill, you'll naturally understand.

Do I have to choose a major?

"Like your master, whether it's Qiankun or Yin Yang, all his insights into the Dao are expressed through the 'Tai Chi' principle." Immortal Wuchen looked at Zhou Hao. "Although your cultivation time is short, your strength is now no less than that of ordinary Primordial Spirit Daoist have cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years. It's time to understand your true nature and choose your path for future development."

After saying this, Immortal Wuchen sighed inwardly.

Normally, these words are only given by the sect elders after a disciple has entered the Nascent Soul stage, because they are afraid that the disciple will be greedy and not sincere in his Dao heart, and will end up taking a detour.

Seeing that Zhou Hao had just entered the Myriad Phenomena and had already comprehended the true meaning of the three Great Daos, and had also gained tens of thousands of merit points, I was worried that he would be greedy and choose too many supernatural powers and secret techniques to cultivate in the Dao Treasury Hall, thus wasting his precious time. That's why I said those few words.

What will you major in in the future?

Zhou Hao pondered.

The contents of the "Tai Chi Three Chapters" passed down by my master also linger in my mind.

yes.

Previously, when I read the second chapter, "Yin Yang," and the third chapter, "Qian Kun," in the "Tai Chi Three Chapters," I was puzzled as to why there were two chapters, "Yin Yang" and "Qian Kun," which are both based on the Great Dao, in the boxing manual that explains the essence of Tai Chi Great Dao.

Now, after a few words of guidance from Immortal Wuchen, Zhou Hao suddenly realized that whether it was 'Yin Yang' or 'Qian Kun', they were just things his master, Daoist Kong Fang, used to explain the application of Tai Chi.

And what about me?

For some reason, a scene from when he was a child, learning martial arts and boxing from his master, "True Person Daoyi," remained etched in Zhou Hao's mind.

In the quaint courtyard.

The old Daoist priest, dressed in a linen robe and with white hair but a youthful face, watched as young Zhou Hao struggled to practice Taiji Fist.

Although he was very serious, his body lacked vitality, which made his movements unorthodox.

"Changsheng," the master called Zhou Hao by his childhood name, speaking gently, "Taiji is Taiyi. The Great Dao is above Taiji but not higher; it encompasses Yin and Yang, hardness and softness, odd and even... it contains everything. Taiji is the universal principle of heaven, earth, and all things! If you can comprehend it, you will understand all things..."

As his childhood memories suddenly came flooding back, a light of enlightenment flashed in Zhou Hao's eyes.

"Have you made a decision?" Immortal Wuchen looked at Zhou Hao with a smile.

Zhou Hao nodded.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle-Master. I understand now!"

Although there are many great principles in the universe, I have my own Tai Chi principle to present.

All the mysteries of the Tao can be traced back to this one Tao.

At this moment, Zhou Hao once again applied the 'Heart of Tai Chi' that he had previously comprehended, and his mind became even clearer, feeling that his harmony with heaven and earth had deepened.

"Good, good." Immortal Wuchen's eyes lit up, without even asking Zhou Hao why he had chosen.

The light in Zhou Hao's eyes at this moment was enough to show that he had achieved enlightenment and understood how to walk his future path.

As for which path to take, that's not something outsiders can comment on.

The pursuit of immortality and the Dao is an extremely private matter. Even the Daoist Kong Fang, in his transmission of the "Tai Chi Three Chapters," only acknowledged that Zhou Hao possessed talent in this area.

But no one has ever said a word about where it will ultimately lead.

Whether you choose to practice Tai Chi, or to practice the art of water droplets or the universe, it doesn't matter.

As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the practice depends on yourself.

At this moment, starlight surged within the hall.

Ten breaths had passed, and Liu Yu's figure reappeared.

At this moment, Liu Yu raised one hand, his index and middle fingers extended as if he were playing chess with someone, but his eyes were closed, and his body was filled with a mysterious aura.

"Among this year's outer disciples, Jade Dragon Peak is actually the biggest winner," Immortal Wuchen exclaimed.

"You two little ones both chose to join the Jade Dragon Peak lineage, and you've both actually comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao one after another. Senior Brother Minghe, you're truly lucky."

Zhou Hao was taken aback at first, then asked with delight, "Uncle-Master, Junior Brother Liu Yu has also comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao?"

This time, both he and Liu Yu chose to join Jade Dragon Peak, one of the twelve inner sects, upon becoming inner disciples, much to the regret of the head immortals in the Profound Heaven Palace.

Zhou Hao was also puzzled as to why Liu Yu's master was a Nascent Primordial Spirit Daoist from Morning Jade Peak who was skilled in formations, yet she did not join the Morning Jade Peak lineage.

He even sent a telepathic message asking a question.

As a result, Liu Yu replied directly that he would eventually return to the Xia Clan Great World. Guangling Prefecture borders the East Sea, and the Great Wild Plains where his family is located is also within the territory of the Jade Dragon Sect, so he naturally chose Jade Dragon Peak.

Now, the Jade Dragon Sect, which originally had three outer disciples who were robbed, suddenly gained two more inner disciples, becoming the sect with the most inner disciples among the five sects of the Xia Clan.

Upon hearing Zhou Hao's question, Immortal Wuchen smiled and nodded.

"You have already comprehended the true meaning of three Great Daos, so it's alright to tell you. This time, Liu Yu has comprehended a trace of the true meaning of the ' Formation Great Dao '."

The Formation Great Dao?

Zhou Hao smiled.

Junior Brother Liu Yu is obsessed with formations, and his ability to comprehend one of the Great Daos, 'Formation,' is exactly what I wanted.

"Formations, puppets, and talismans are all great paths, and their profound mysteries are no easier than the three great paths you have comprehended, and may even be more complex in some aspects."

Immortal Wuchen looked at Liu Yu was still immersed in enlightenment.

"To embark on such a path at such a young age, he is a promising young man."

Zhou Hao nodded.

The art of formations is indeed mysterious and wondrous.

Whether it's a Daoist military formation, or something as small as an individual's self-protection, invisibility, or trapping of enemies, or as large as a sect, a city, or even a world's formation, they are all set up by those with profound attainments in the art of formations.

It is quite normal for a master of array formations to borrow the power of heaven and earth, and even to trap and kill enemies of a higher level.

"Where's the chessboard?" Liu Yu suddenly opened her eyes, staring blankly at the empty space in front of her.

"The time has come, why don't you wake up?" Immortal Wuchen smiled.

"Ah, Immortal Wuchen, Changsheng Brother Changsheng." Liu Yu finally realized where he was; he had returned to the Myriad Forms Hall.

"Inner disciple ' Liu Yu ', "Immortal Wuchen announced, "Has comprehended the true meaning of the ' Formation Great Dao.' He is hereby awarded two thousand merit points."

"Thank you very much Immortal Wuchen," Liu Yu said excitedly. "Now I can finally exchange for that set of <Sumeru Forward-Reverse Four Symbols Immortal Formation>."

The Immortal Wuchen smiled slightly and waved to the two, saying, "Go."

Liu Yu only comprehended one Formation Great Dao, so he didn't need reminders like Zhou Hao did.

"Yes, disciples take their leave." Zhou Hao and Liu Yu bowed respectfully and then left the Myriad Forms Hall.

I spent the whole day with my daughter yesterday, so it was a good day to rest. Back to updating today!
