At True Mystery Peak's Mystic Law Hall, the Taiji Diagram held up the setting sun, never allowing it to sink completely. The principles of the Two Principles and those of the setting sun surged as they collided.
Xuanming was not surprised that True Person Jade Spring had the upper hand. This True Person had entered the Golden Core realm a century ago and was no newly advanced Golden Core like True Person Huang Li of the Spirit Official Sect. His understanding of the Dao naturally surpassed Xuanming's.
Before the Dao debate, Xuanming might have been no match for him and already suffered defeat. Now, after debating the Dao with the others, even a cursory look and hurried digestion of their insights had improved his attainment. Though he still could not compare with True Person Jade Spring, defeating him would not be easy.
As time passed, Xuanming's disadvantage dwindled little by little. The other True Persons noticed and inwardly marveled at his remarkable comprehension. Almost every collision brought a sliver of improvement in his attainment. Though barely perceptible, those changes became noticeable over time.
Perhaps this was what had enabled his success in cultivation: exceptional comprehension and the extraordinary perseverance they had learned of through their inquiries.
Xuanxu and Xuan Su had long since awakened. Their cultivation was weaker, and though their senior brother had looked after them and given them an opportunity, their abilities and capacity to bear these principles were limited. Everything needed moderation; otherwise, biting off more than they could chew would only stuff them to death and destroy their Dao Paths. Knowing their limits, the two had withdrawn from the debate when their senior brother eliminated the fifth Primordial Heaven cultivator.
The True Persons below the platform said nothing, but their undisguised expressions revealed everything they felt.
