Great Void Art Seeks Assets
Born of the innate, manifesting in benevolence. Born without form, concealing in function. Existing after birth, what exists is spirit. Existing without form, spirit without direction or form. Yet without form, yin and yang are unfathomable. Never truly existing, yet its transformation ceaseless. Hence it is said to be inconceivable, its wondrous function boundless.
The first chapter, "The Void," is the beginning of the Dao. Confucius said, "Does Heaven speak? Yet the four seasons proceed, and all things are born." This means that things are born before Heaven, and are born without form. He also said, "Looking at it, one cannot see it; listening to it, one cannot hear it; it embodies things and cannot be violated." This means that things exist after Heaven, and exist without form. However, because it has no form, its transformation and generation are endless. Who but one who thoroughly investigates principles and fully realizes human nature can participate in this? Therefore, he bestowed upon them the chapter on profound principles.
As Yang Ning flipped through the "Void Scripture," he felt a long-lost sense of difficulty.
He was well-versed in the Tai Heng Scriptures. He had seen through every written text, even those hidden in underground palaces or secret realms, with the Heavenly Emperor's Eye. His reading volume was so vast that it was frightening, so naturally there was no problem with him not understanding the scriptures.
The difficulty in understanding the "Void Scripture" stems from the fact that it is not Tai Heng Scripture school, and its approach to cultivation is entirely different from the Divine Ability of the Taiheng school.
Just like Wang Yuyan couldn't understand the Three Meridians and Seven Chakra training method, it was simply a matter of not being in the right field.
Fortunately, Yang Ning was very perceptive; even though his major was unrelated to the text, he still managed to understand it.
According to the naming conventions of Taiheng, the "Void Scripture" should be called the "Great Void Art," which is a supreme Supreme Dao Arts.
The Supreme Dao Arts in Taiheng are all formed by combining Law Power with something else, such as fortune or calamity energy. Here, Law Power is the foundation for cultivating Divine Ability. Whether it is the [Great Celestial Phenomenon Art], the [Great Destiny Technique], the [Great Supreme Art], or the many Supreme Dao Arts created by cultivators in the Spirit Realm, they are all like this.
The Void Scripture Sutra, however, is different; it is a supernatural Divine Ability cultivated through Mental Power.
This means that if one lacks Mental Power, they might not learn even after studying for tens of thousands of years. However, if one has sufficient Mental Power, they might achieve sudden enlightenment and directly master the skill.
It's a very classic Buddhist text.
Yang Ning removed the Buddhist scriptures that interfered with his thinking, analyzed the process of cultivation, and then a thought arose spontaneously in his mind: Is this really feasible? Are you kidding me?
The Void Scripture says that there is something in this world that existed before the creation of heaven and earth.
After the creation of heaven and earth, this thing was hidden in the human soul.
Because this thing has no physical form, it cannot be seen or touched, and cannot be influenced by Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.
Because it has no volume, this thing is infinite, indestructible, neither increasing nor decreasing, and cannot be consumed.
Let him participate in the cycle; however much he uses, he returns the same amount, thus creating endless mysteries.
If one were not someone who had abandoned reason and wisdom, they would be utterly incomprehensible by the existence of this thing.
This thing is somewhat like a conceptual object, the Primordial Qi.
It is said to be something that is born innately and gives rise to all things. It appears to be only one thing, but its actual quantity is infinite. Therefore, if you take a part from this thing, what you take away is infinite, and what remains is also infinite.
After all, even one ten-thousandth of an infinite number is still infinite.
Moreover, because the Primordial Qi can give birth to all things, it has an extremely high status, even more powerful than the Primordial Violet Qi in Primordial World novels.
After all, the Primordial Violet Qi is only enough to make someone a saint. If you have a Primordial Qi, you are Pangu!
This is no longer something from orthodox cultivation novels; it belongs to the realm of mythological cultivation methods.
In that kind of cultivation method, the Qi Refining Stage doesn't Spiritual Qi, but rather Primordial Qi formed isn't an ordinary Golden Core, but Great Dao Golden Core. Great Luo Immortal achieve the unity of all laws, can roam the river of time and space, are immortal and indestructible, and are extremely powerful.
It's a bit of a pity that the "Void Scripture" cannot cultivate the Primordial Qi, but rather assumes that such Qi exists. In order to pursue this state, we must cultivate ourselves into the Immeasurable Void Dharma Body.
In the boundless void, without self or form, since the Primordial Qi is infinite, how could a mortal body possibly contain it?
Only when the concept of itself is reduced to a vacuum can it contain such a precious thing as Primordial Qi.
That's right, the <Void Scripture> is actually a prerequisite Cultivation Method for the mythical cultivation method. However, since the existence of the Primordial Qi is another matter, the term "prerequisite" should be put in quotation marks.
However, although the predecessor who created the "Void Scripture" may have gone astray, the "Void Scripture" itself is not problematic.
Just as Pill Refining Master accidentally invented gunpowder in his pursuit of immortality, the power of the <Void Scripture> needs no further explanation. It is a supreme Daoist Supreme Dao Arts that allows one to transform oneself into a vacuum and then use vacuum Divine Ability!
Unlike other Space-based Divine Abilities, which manipulate space from a third-party perspective (e. g., cutting, folding, tearing), this Space-based Divine Abilities is different.
The * Void Scripture *, however, transforms itself into a void, becoming part of space.
This is the main reason why the * Void Scripture * is unaffected by the Absolute Earth Heavenly Connection. No matter how much trouble you stir up, I am just part of that trouble; what loss could I possibly suffer?
Yang Ning also realized that the Void Scripture was definitely not just for using Space Divine Abilities.
If one can become part of space, wouldn't that allow for better absorption of spatial energy?
A large part of the cultivation in the Spiritual Law Realm involves dealing with spatial energy.
Therefore, this supernatural Divine Ability can also greatly enhance one's affinity with Space Element when one is in the Spiritual Law Realm, thereby accelerating the absorption of Space Element and thus speeding up cultivation.
Yang Ning uploaded this Divine Ability to the Spirit Realm's Divine Ability Library, where interested individuals can learn it, and of course, he will learn it as well.
There's never too much of Divine Ability to accelerate cultivation.
Yang Ning then looked at the battle situation in Eastern Victory.
The battle here has reached a stalemate; the rebel army can't break out, and the Tai Heng Army can't break in.
Qu Heng only approached Yang Sheng once, but after being rejected, he never came back.
Yang Ning initially thought he was plotting something, but after checking the communication records, he discovered that Qu Heng had found this to be very profitable, so he had Qu Liang fight slowly, deliberately prolonging the war.
"There's such a thing?!" Yang Ning was speechless.
If only the lower and middle classes of a ruling class are embezzling funds, it may only be a temporary lapse in oversight, and there is still hope for redemption.
But now, in Taiheng, the sect leader is leading the way, and all the other Lineage are vying to get ahead, afraid that they will not get enough and will suffer a loss.
Yang Ning was so envious of Tai Heng's appearance that his eyes widened in disbelief!
You have to understand, with this kind of ruling class, any other country would have been destroyed long ago!
But this is Taiheng, with so much heritage left by our ancestors!
One immortal artifact and six and Half-Immortal Artifact are constantly absorbing Immortal Qi and releasing Spiritual Qi, which is equivalent to seven mines with unlimited output!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine Spirit Vein, connected to the Taiheng Spirit Gathering Formation, are like nine hundred and ninety-nine money-printing machines.
With these abundant resources, the Taiheng monks lived a life that was almost akin to Communism.
In contrast, Yang Ning has to cultivate his own Spirit Vein. Without a magical artifact to absorb Spiritual Qi, he can only try to exploit the sun, and he doesn't dare to do it openly.
The population of Daxia is far smaller than that of Taiheng, but the Spiritual Qi of Daxia is far less than that of Taiheng, which means that the per capita income of Daxia is far inferior to that of Taiheng.
Unfortunately, the people of Taiheng are of this kind.
It's like you clearly see someone who is despicable, shameless, and vile, yet they happen to earn more than you.
How could Yang Ning possibly stand this?
My Great Xia is developing quite well, with many talented people and a plethora of promising new stars.
Moreover, I am also a legitimate member of the Taiheng lineage.
Therefore, Lord Hengming, shouldn't the Spiritual Qi and Spirit Vein emitted by that immortal artifact also include a share of our Great Xia?
