Three golden books and jade scrolls, three profound and wondrous methods that directly lead to the Spirit Transformation...
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be so excited right now that they wouldn't know what to say.
But Chen Shuangbai did not.
His heart skipped a few beats, but he quickly regained his composure and returned to his usual calm.
True Lord Qingchen observed this, but remained silent, showing no intention of offering any advice.
Chen Shuangbai realized that this was also a test.
Or perhaps... after being bestowed the title of [ Dao Child ], he had imagined that such a day would come.
He steadied himself, his gaze slowly sweeping over the three golden and jade books. After a moment of contemplation, he finally spoke, "May I step forward and try to comprehend the essence of these three profound and wondrous techniques?"
True Lord Qingchen nodded, and Chen Shuangbai stepped forward with a respectful heart.
then.
Chen Shuangbai released his Divine Sense to perceive the power, artistic conception, and charm of the three golden books and jade scrolls one by one.
He had already witnessed the skills of True Person Bo and True Person Mei, so he wasn't entirely ignorant of the [ Golden Scripture of Heavenly One Generating Water ] and the [ Heavenly River Soul-Cleansing Sword Scripture ].
The former is a pure water-based canon, emphasizing water as its foundation and root, transforming all its Law Power into Heavenly One True Water.
Those who cultivate this skill, like True Person Bo, possess unparalleled magical Law Power among those of the same level, and are most adept at prolonged battles.
The latter is a secret manual of swordsmanship, which emphasizes cleansing the soul with the sword and controlling the sword with the soul, ultimately achieving a vast and profound power, like Heavenly River descending from the heavens.
Those who cultivate this skill, like True Person Mei, possess a solid and profound Sword Essence, far surpassing that of Sword Essence cultivators of the same level.
And Chen Shuangbai could also sense it.
Neither True Person Bo nor True Person Mei were the two elders of the sect who practiced in a rigid and conventional way. Instead, they constantly added their own understanding to the process of cultivation, building upon the work of their predecessors and innovating to ultimately evolve the Cultivation Method that best suited their own Dao Path.
Just as True Person Bo described [ Clouds and Water Share the Same Sky ].
It is like the [ Snow Plum Sword Essence ] of True Person Mei.
Chen Shuangbai stood on the offering table for a long time, pondering and reflecting quietly, and finally chose the golden book in the middle.
"Sect Master, this disciple has chosen the [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ]."
Qingchen was neither particularly satisfied nor particularly disappointed. As if he had expected it, he nodded slightly, then flicked his finger, and a five-colored stream of light flew out from his fingertip, falling into the golden book that represented the [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ].
After removing the three layers of restrictions, he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion. Chen Shuangbai saw countless seal characters emitting five-colored rays being extracted from the golden book and jade scroll and then entering his forehead.
Chen Shuangbai felt as if a five-colored sun had suddenly risen in his sea of consciousness, and a vast stream of information surged into the depths of his mind like a tidal wave...
But he felt no joy whatsoever; instead, his expression tightened involuntarily.
no!
Wait a minute?
Why is this the way power is transferred?
There is still a Dao Fruit Ancestor in my sea of consciousness!
Just when Chen Shuangbai thought that the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ] in his sea of consciousness would trigger a strong rejection reaction, he saw the Xuanming Guangming Moon, which was suspended in the center of his sea of consciousness, shine brightly. Its clear light fell, but it did not reject it. Instead, it guided the five-colored sun to slowly fall to his side and finally transformed into a Jade Slip.
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
Chen Shuangbai slowly opened her eyes, her mind already firmly imprinting the [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ] into her consciousness.
Seeing that he had opened his eyes, True Lord Qingchen smiled slightly and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Chen Shuangbai took a deep breath and answered truthfully, "It is profound and far beyond my imagination. I need some time to digest and understand it."
True Lord Qingchen nodded, unsurprised. "That's natural."
"When I first obtained this Cultivation Method, it took me three whole months just to understand the general principles."
After saying this, True Lord Qingchen took out a jade book from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Shuangbai, saying, "This contains my insights and understanding of this method. There are also notes on the practice of this method by past masters on the third level of the Book Collection Cave."
"Now that you are Dao Child, the Book Collection Cave holds no secrets for you. Go and borrow some books when you have time."
"Oh, and don't forget to include your own insights or spiritual notes in it later, so that future generations may benefit from them."
"Disciple understands."
Having received the new teachings, True Lord Qingchen had nothing more to say to Chen Shuangbai. Before leaving, he simply said, "This method involves comprehending the five transformations and five virtues of water. Starting from this aspect should make it less difficult."
Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Jade Screen Peak, with the Moon-Gazing Pavilion at its summit.
Chen Shuangbai sat on the veranda. The cold pond not far away was ruffled by the breeze, bringing a cool breeze that stirred his hair, but it couldn't stir his gaze.
Changming was resting in the cool pool water.
With its short limbs outstretched and a contented expression on its small face, it didn't look like a jade toad at all; from a distance, it resembled a large, white steamed bun.
Every few days, he would preside over a Lunar Rites, chanting prayers and incantations, summoning clouds and wind, and collecting the Essence of the Moon for Chen Shuangbai's cultivation.
This is also part of his spiritual practice.
Chen Shuangbai saw this and kept it in mind. Whenever she obtained any rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that would be helpful to Demon Cultivator, she would always share some with Changming.
Every now and then, he would summon Feiguang, Gray Ball, and Changming to his presence and give the three spirit beasts a lecture. It wasn't about Cultivation Method or secret manuals, but rather some insights into cultivation and understanding of the universe and all things.
This will enhance their wisdom and suppress their ignorant animalistic nature, ensuring a bright future for them.
Chen Shuangbai ignored him and continued to look at the notes and insights given to him by the sect leader True Lord Qingchen, comparing them with the [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ] in his sea of consciousness.
A few days after obtaining this profound and wondrous technique, Chen Shuangbai immediately wanted to fuse it with his main cultivation method, the " Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method," to create a profound and wondrous technique that best suited his Dao Path cultivation.
But... it failed.
"It is indeed a wondrous method passed down from the Great Dao lineage. Even though I have collected the Essence of the Moon for decades to power the Dao Fruit, I still cannot evolve it."
This time, Chen Shuangbai did not get the ambiguous reason, but clearly understood it. It was entirely because the concept of this [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ] was quite profound, even surpassing his own [ Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method ].
He didn't dwell on it too much.
The " Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method " is a practice, and so is this [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ].
It's not impossible to proceed simultaneously.
then.
In less than a month.
He had studied the general outline and Foundation Establishment chapter dozens of times, and combined them with the cultivation insights given to him by True Lord Qingchen, as well as the notes of past patriarchs borrowed from the Book Collection Cave, and gradually gained a preliminary understanding of this Cultivation Method.
