No one dared to underestimate Chen Mu's words anymore, and they all listened attentively.
"Man follows the Earth, the Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows Nature."
What is meant by "Tao follows nature"? It means that Tao is itself, self-created, and self-existent, without interfering or intervening, which is also known as "non-action." It takes the selfless nature of Heaven as its model, and the naturalness of Tao as its model, thus achieving oneness with nature...
Chen Mu has this kind of personality. He doesn't talk much normally, but when it comes to his professional field, he becomes very talkative and eloquent.
He himself didn't realize that as he spoke more and more, a hazy light appeared around him, and the chanting of the Great Dao scriptures echoed around him, as if they had crossed countless times and descended upon him.
Buzz...!
Suddenly, boundless light shone from his body, and countless runes formed chains that circled around him. Each profound rune emitted bursts of joyful thoughts, as if they were guarding their king.
"This... this is...!"
"In ancient times, sages preached the Dao, attracting extraordinary phenomena from heaven and earth, and resonating with the Great Dao. This child, this child possesses the potential of a sage!"
Everyone present was excited, but dared not say much, because at this moment, Chen Mu was emanating Dao of Formations sounds. If they could even grasp a little bit of it, they would benefit immensely.
Chen Mu's resonance with the Great Dao was an opportunity for others, but for him, it was also a rare moment of enlightenment.
He discovered that his thinking speed had increased countless times, and many problems that were previously difficult to understand were solved one by one. His Thought was clear, and he felt an indescribable sense of joy.
The path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, especially for Chen Mu's purple divine Divine Soul; the higher the quality, the greater the difficulty of cultivation.
Chen Mu was able to break through to the fourth level of the Divine Soul at such a young age mainly because his Life-Bound Talisman was the ' Five Elements Chaos Talisman ', which could absorb the Power of Five Elements Creation to help him break through. If he had cultivated step by step, it would have taken at least ten years to reach the fourth level of the Divine Soul Realm.
Although he broke through to the Solid Realm Fourth Layer three years ago, his Divine Soul has only just entered the late stage of the Solid Realm Fourth Layer.
But in that brief moment of enlightenment, he discovered that his Divine Soul was growing rapidly, and had now reached the peak of the Solid Realm Fourth Layer, just a little bit away from breaking through to the Solid Realm Fifth Layer.
Such a rapid pace of progress is simply inconceivable to other cultivators. Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of his Divine Soul, unless he summons Divine Soul to fight, no one else can know his specific Divine Soul realm. Therefore, very few people know his true strength.
Just as Chen Mu was resonating with the Great Dao, an uninvited guest jumped onto the boat.
"Hahaha, Miss Wei is hosting a banquet, why didn't you invite me, Wang Zhan? Do you look down on my Heavenly Puppet Sect?"
Wang Zhan's behavior was extremely domineering, but when he saw the situation inside the boat, his expression changed drastically.
Interrupted by Wang Zhan, the Dao sound emanating from Chen Mu disappeared, and the light receded. He remained with his eyes closed, immersed in his own enlightenment.
Chen Mu could maintain his state of enlightenment, but for other cultivators, it meant missing out on a great opportunity.
In that short period of time, a small group of people made a breakthrough immediately, while the rest, although they did not make a breakthrough, also gained a lot.
But Wang Zhan's arrival destroyed all of that. Everyone stared at him intently, as if even tearing him to pieces wouldn't be enough to quell their anger.
"What's going on? The people at the Heavenly Pride Feast come from all over the world, many of them are complete strangers, so why are they so united in their hatred?"
As the saying goes, it's hard to defy the wrath of the masses. Even though Wang Zhan a powerful background, he is still somewhat intimidated by the covetous eyes of so many talented individuals.
" Wang Zhan, I know your Heavenly Puppet Sect is powerful."
"But the King Who Guards the West's Residence needs your Heavenly Puppet Sect's approval to hold a banquet? Aren't you being a bit too domineering?"
Li Xiaofan stood up and said angrily.
"That's right, this is absolutely outrageous! Today, I, Heize, will confront you! Let's see if your title of second on the Earth Ranking is truly deserved!"
Another man in purple robes stood up, drew his broadsword from his back, and his fighting spirit soared.
"And me! Though I, Wu Bupo, am weak, I only seek battle today, regardless of life or death!"
For cultivators, the hatred of being blocked from the path is even worse than killing one's parents. The more than one hundred cultivators on the ship were filled with righteous indignation, and they were all eager to fight Wang Zhan to the death.
Wei Shuang sat in the head seat, her face solemn, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
The Heavenly Puppet Sect supported the Sixth Prince's independence as king in the Southern Region, and there had been quite a few frictions with the King Who Guards the West's Residence in recent years. When Wang Zhan first appeared, she was still having a headache because she felt that none of the geniuses present could suppress Wang Zhan.
But the situation developed beyond her expectations. Chen Mu resonated with the Great Dao, directly bringing many geniuses to the same side as herself, which was a pleasant surprise.
"Um... excuse me, let's talk this out."
I just wanted to join in the fun. Since nobody welcomes me, I'll just leave.
Even the usually domineering and assertive Wang Zhan had to back down at this moment.
Although he was confident he could defeat everyone here, even if they didn't gang up on him, he couldn't handle just one group of people at a time.
After saying that, Wang Zhan actually turned around and prepared to slink away.
"Wait! Did I say you could leave?"
Suddenly, a detached voice rang out, forcing Wang Zhan to stop.
He turned around and saw a young man dressed in blue robes with refined manners in the direction of the voice.
"Who are you?"
Although Chen Mu has become famous, few people have seen his face, and Wang Zhan did not recognize him at first.
My name is Chen Mu.
Wang Zhan thought for a moment, then crossed his arms and laughed.
"Tsk tsk, so you're Chen Mu, the one who's in the top ten on both lists!"
To have such strength at this age is truly remarkable.
In a few years, I might not be your match, but for now...
If you're going to resort to violence, I don't mind teaching you a lesson.
Being ranked sixth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking still puts pressure on him, after all, Chen Mu is only twenty years old, while he himself is already in his thirties.
"Fine, then let's see how you teach me a lesson."
Chen Mu didn't want to waste words, so he reached out and gently pushed forward.
"Freeze!"
Just as Wang Zhan was about to make a move, he found his whole body tense up and he was completely unable to move.
" Immobilization Talisman?"
The Heavenly Puppet Sect is a sect specializing in talisman cultivation, and is most familiar with the techniques of talisman masters. They immediately realized that they had been hit by Immobilization Talisman.
" Chen Mu is indeed impressive; at such a young age, he can already skillfully draw high-level Immobilization Talisman."
The ability to create runes remotely is clearly the result of using Divine Soul to create runes in mid-air.
He immediately gathered all his Spiritual Power and unleashed it outwards, while also using his Divine Soul power to interfere with the power of the runes on his body.
His ability to rank second on the " Earth Ranking " must be due to something special.
Like Chen Mu, he cultivates both soul and martial arts. Moreover, his Divine Soul has reached the peak of the Third Layer of the Solid Realm, and his Spiritual Power is also at the Peak of the True Spirit Realm. He has been at this level for several years, just to make his foundation more solid.
