Expounding on Divine Ability Methods, the Great Wilderness Changed!

"Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao—"

"Names that can be named are not eternal names!"

Chen Changqing spoke unhurriedly. His voice was not loud, yet it was like the resonant voice of the Great Dao from beyond the nine heavens, reaching every person present with perfect clarity.

To the crowd, his words seemed to contain an indescribable Dao resonance, drawing their entire minds into it beyond their control.

"All things beneath heaven and earth are born of the Dao."

"The Dao has no form or appearance, no name or shape, yet it is the beginning of all things and the source of all phenomena."

"You have cultivated until this day by tempering yourselves with heaven and earth's spiritual qi and employing the laws of heaven and earth to cast your arts. This is borrowing the Dao, not comprehending the Dao."

"Those who borrow the Dao shall ultimately be bound by the Dao."

"Those who comprehend the Dao may wield the Dao for themselves."

"What are divine abilities?"

"Divine abilities are comprehending the Dao with one's heart, bearing the Dao with one's body, and commanding the Dao with one's will."

"Without borrowing the strength of heaven and earth, without relying on external objects—when a thought arises, the divine ability is formed..."

As Chen Changqing expounded upon the Dao, every word rang like a bell, striking the hearts of every Chen Family member.

Many Chen Family clansmen who had previously possessed no understanding of the Great Dao now felt as if they had touched upon something crucial. Within the sea of their souls, a door seemed to be waiting for them to open it.

Yet when they tried to examine it carefully, it felt as illusory as a dream, leaving them with nowhere to begin.

"Clearly, I had some insight just now. How... how have I forgotten it all again?"

Many members of the Chen Family began to feel bewildered.

The more they thought, the deeper they sank into it.

In the end—

All around Purple Sun Peak, every Chen Family clansman closed their eyes and entered a state of complete self-forgetfulness.

Meanwhile, Chen Changqing continued his sermon.

As time passed, wisps of Chen Changqing's unique Longevity Dao Resonance began to wind around every person on Purple Sun Peak, allowing them to experience the "Dao" at close range.

Though they were utterly unqualified to directly comprehend this source Dao, it could still offer them some assistance.

Bolstered by Chen Changqing's Longevity Great Dao, the qi and blood of every Chen Family clansman visibly surged. Each person's lifespan increased by a tremendous amount.

Those Supreme Elders who had lost much of their lifespan benefited even more, directly recovering to their peak state.

Even the spirit herbs and green plants on Purple Sun Peak gained enormous benefits, blooming with spiritual radiance unlike anything before.

At this moment—

The entire Purple Sun Peak seemed to have become a world of "Dao."

At the same time.

Above the Purple Star Domain of the Great Desolate Realm.

Without any warning, the entire starry sky suddenly darkened.

Then—

A phantom of a Chaos giant, tens of thousands of zhang tall beyond measure, appeared from thin air. Chaos Qi coiled around its body, its face indistinct. Only its eyes shone like the sun and moon as it looked down upon all living beings as though they were ants.

The giant phantom struck out with one palm. Space shattered inch by inch like glass, yet not a sound was made, as though that stretch of heaven and earth had completely submitted to that power.

Immediately afterward—

A Five-Elements Millstone that blotted out the sky slowly rotated out of the starry heavens. The five Dao origins of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth intertwined; with every turn, vast swathes of nebulae were ground to dust.

Then came a river of Sword Qi formed from countless sword intents, sweeping mightily across the galaxy.

After that, a green lotus bloomed. As its petals drifted down, even the stars dimmed before it...

One phantom of a divine ability after another appeared in succession above the Purple Star Domain, like images flickering past on a revolving lantern.

Every phenomenon radiated Dao pressure so terrifying it made hearts tremble and souls quake. Every one of them was enough to move Quasi-Emperor Realm experts.

They intertwined with one another, yet remained as distinct as rivers divided by clear boundaries!

It was as though, at that moment, the entire Purple Star Domain had broken free of heaven and earth's original laws and become a world of Dao independent of the Great Desolate Realm.

The entire Great Desolate Realm was stirred once more.

"It's the Purple Star Domain again! The Chen Family again!"

"What a terrifying phenomenon... Just one glance, and this old man's Dao heart is already trembling!"

"The Chen Family sealed off their mountain and withdrew from the world a million years ago, yet they have now triggered two heaven-and-earth phenomena in succession. What are they trying to do? Could an ancient prodigy truly have broken free from his seal?"

"It is said that a million years ago, a Chaos Body Divine Son of the Chen Family sealed himself within Divine Source. If he truly broke free, then the struggle of this era will surely be spectacular!"

"The Evergreen Divine Son! The Evergreen Divine Son who slaughtered until the prodigies of the hundred races were all silenced! He truly broke free from his seal in this era!"

Countless discussions rose throughout the Great Desolate Realm.

In the far north, deep within the Cangwu Ancient Clan, a youth born with Double-Pupiled Supreme Bone slowly opened his eyes, a blazing battle intent flashing through them.

Within the Primordial Dragon Nest, the young dragon possessing a perfect Ancestral Dragon Bloodline let out an earthshaking dragon roar. Dragon might billowed from its body like a tide.

In the Western Desert Buddhist Land, atop Mount Sumeru, a reincarnated Sacred Buddha chanted the true scriptures. Buddhist light illuminated thirty thousand li, yet when he looked toward the Purple Star Domain, his chanting faltered slightly.

Deep within the Eastern Wilderness Divine Dynasty, inside an ancient hall, a young man born clutching a sword embryo slowly raised his head. The sword embryo in his hand hummed without end, as if it had sensed a terrifying rival.

Within the Southern Ridge Demon Domain, the divine maiden of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan opened her eyes. Nine fox tails swayed behind her as she gazed toward the Purple Star Domain, the corners of her lips curving upward.

"Hmph, he is merely an old-era prodigy who happened to awaken a Chaos Body a million years ago."

Within a Dark Forbidden Zone, an ancient voice sneered. "In this era, physiques stronger than a Chaos Body are not unheard of."

"Heh, has anyone in all eternity ever produced such heaven-and-earth phenomena?" someone else retorted.

"A phenomenon is merely a phenomenon. It does not represent true strength. If that Evergreen Divine Son truly dares to set foot upon the Immortal Road, I would like to see whether this prodigy from a million years ago can still sweep aside every foe!"

An alternative Dao achiever who had sealed himself away for an unknown number of epochs spoke in a calm tone, yet his battle intent was undisguised.

In an unprecedented Golden Age, who was not a prodigy?

Who would admit to being inferior to another?

In short—

This era had amplified everyone's potential, and it had also amplified everyone's ambition!

But!

The cultivators of the Great Desolate Realm had never imagined it.

This heaven-and-earth phenomenon would actually persist for a full two hours!

That alone was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Purple Star Chen Family!

During this time—

An unknown number of terrifying divine senses swept in from every direction, attempting to pierce through the void and locate the Chen Family.

Yet the Chen Family had sealed off their mountain a million years ago. The entire Purple Star had been covered in layer upon layer of concealment formations.

Those divine senses swept across the Purple Star Domain, only to vanish like clay oxen sinking into the sea, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.

The more impossible they were to find, the more wary everyone became.

Some old monsters who had remained hidden from the world also looked toward the Purple Star Domain. After a long silence, they sighed. "This era... I fear the heavens are about to change."

And atop Purple Sun Peak of the Chen Family.

Chen Changqing had already stopped expounding upon the Dao.

But—

Every Chen Family clansman remained in that state of complete self-forgetfulness... unable to awaken on their own for a long while.

The profundity of the "Dao" had utterly immersed them all!
