[ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ].

True enlightenment refers to a practitioner's realization of their own true nature.

"Dongyuan" refers to a practitioner cultivating their State of Mind to a state of tranquility as deep as an abyss.

This was clearly recorded in the notes of insights given by Sect Master True Lord Qingchen and in the cultivation records of the various predecessors and patriarchs, saving Chen Shuangbai a lot of effort.

As True Lord Qingchen said, the core of this method lies in "the five transformations of water and the five virtues of water".

The so-called five transformations of water refer to five forms of water under different conditions: the nourishment of rain and dew, the rushing of streams, the vastness of rivers and lakes, the solidification of glaciers, and the etherealness of clouds and mist.

It can be hard, soft, cold, warm, or melting; it can also be condensed, flowing, still, life-giving, or erosion.

The five virtues of water are the virtues represented by these five forms: vastness, flow, purity, evolution, and nourishment. These virtues can also be reflected in human virtues, namely benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.

This has a very profound meaning.

If you want to study it thoroughly, you might never even get started, let alone spend half your life on it.

Chen Shuangbai is blessed with the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ], and Dao Hui is exceptionally outstanding, so naturally they have their own unique understanding.

In his understanding, the five virtues of water described in the [ True Illumination Cavern Abyss Five Qi Art ] correspond to a foundation for Divine Ability transformations in each of their forms.

For example, he is currently trying to understand the nourishing properties of water.

Water nourishes all things and nurtures all life.

Without water, there would be no life. All living beings depend on the nourishment of water, especially cultivators and the vast number of mortals.

Chen Shuangbai already practiced the blessing and enhancement mantra " Water and Wood Pure Splendor Incantation ", the Sweet Dew Incantation of which inherently contains the meaning of compassionately nourishing all things. Using this meaning as a springboard, she naturally developed her own understanding of nourishing virtue.

A deep blue aura floated between his palms, transforming into a stream of water that, guided by the spellcaster's thoughts, emitted a shimmering, emerald-green Treasure Light before finally dripping onto the cap of the Gray Ball.

"How?"

Chen Shuangbai looked at the Gray Ball with a hint of anticipation.

The Gray Ball is a mushroom that has gained intelligence and become a demon, belonging to the category of plant demons.

The characteristics of this type of demon are that they have a deep foundation, but their spiritual wisdom increases slowly, and their cultivation speed is slow and the cultivation time is long.

But going slowly has its advantages.

The spirits of plants and trees are naturally close to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and are particularly sensitive to the power of water and soil, making them perfect for testing the effectiveness of water's nourishing virtue.

Gray Ball blinked its beady black eyes a few times and started chirping.

As Chen Shuangbai listened, he observed the cap of the Gray Ball. He saw that after absorbing the drop of dark blue spiritual water, it had unexpectedly gained a fuller and brighter color, and had even begun to secrete Pill Condensation Liquid.

Chen Shuangbai nodded in satisfaction.

I immediately felt reassured.

"It seems to be working well."

He reached out and gently patted the cap of the Gray Ball, smiling, "Come twice a day, morning and evening, to help nourish your body and enhance your spiritual wisdom."

"You should carefully contemplate the meaning within it; if you can grasp even a fraction of it, it will greatly benefit your spiritual practice."

The Gray Ball seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to quite understand.

It was making cooing noises, clearly quite happy.

Water's nourishing virtue is also the source of its vitality. After gaining some understanding, Chen Shuangbai finally understood the meaning behind the five-colored flowing clouds that appeared when the sect leader appeared that day. It was precisely True Lord Qingchen's understanding of the five virtues of water, which was reflected in his cultivation and Divine Ability.

Over the course of a year, Chen Shuangbai comprehended the virtues and vitality of water, condensing them into a [ Moistening True Seal ], which quietly floated in his sea of consciousness. However, it dared not approach the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ] at the very center, instead guarding one side.

Two more years passed.

Chen Shuangbai built a hut by the Shattered Star River and sat down, successfully entering the path of enlightenment. He then traveled to various rivers throughout the Nine Provinces of the Jing Kingdom to observe the flow of water. Two years later, he successfully comprehended the flow of water and gained his own understanding.

The rushing of water refers to the rapid and ceaseless flow of rivers and streams.

Now he travels throughout the Jing Kingdom, and everyone knows him.

The Jade Spring Dharma Lineage and their separate residences across the lands, upon learning that their own Dao Child had arrived in their territory, all flocked to the area, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Dao Child's true form and gain some of the immortal energy of higher cultivation.

At first, things were fine. In keeping with his duty Dao Child, Chen Shuangbai would hold sermons for the local disciples wherever he went, impart his cultivation insights, and enhance the sect's foundation.

But then too many people arrived, and Chen Shuangbai became a little annoyed.

He simply concealed his aura, avoiding the gazes of these people, and walked alone among the towering mountains, watching the rivers flow by, gradually developing his own understanding.

From this point on, Chen Shuangbai's understanding of various water-based Law Technique became much faster.

Whether it was the various water-based techniques he had practiced before, or the various methods recorded in the " Flowing Cloud Water Horse Scroll " which he had studied as an auxiliary method during the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, he could use them with ease and had a deep understanding of their profound meaning.

Even with the third-tier Law Technique [ Clouds and Water Share the Same Sky ], created by True Person Bo, Chen Shuangbai gained a new understanding and appreciation of this extremely difficult Law Technique to master, and its power was enhanced when cast.

Not only did Chen Shuangbai improve his profound and wondrous skills, but his own main cultivation technique, the " Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method," also gradually progressed.

Although he has not deliberately secluded himself for spiritual practice over the years.

But Chen Shuangbai had this feeling.

The time until I can condense the Lord of the Twelfth Month Divine Aspect is getting shorter and shorter.

However, as he comprehended the five transformations and five virtues of water and traveled to various places, his cultivation naturally progressed smoothly, advancing all the way and supporting his cultivation to reach higher levels.

Chen Shuangbai neither stopped nor let it go, but let nature take its course until one day, he arrived in the county town near the White Water Chen Clan, where he was born.

He finally breathed a long sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping across mountains and rivers back to the Chen Clan mansion.

"Several years have passed since we last met. I've been so busy with my spiritual practice that I haven't written home in a long time."

Nostalgia suddenly rushed into my heart.

After only a moment's thought, Chen Shuangbai decided to return to his hometown.

then.

He turned and leaped into the air. The blue-white escape light he had been using was now even faster and more powerful, easily catching up with the Feiguang that was using its bloodline talent. Before long, he returned to White Water County.

Chen Clan family, White Water County.

The Chen Clan produced a Foundation Establishment Immortal Master, a fact that spread throughout the village in earlier years.

Therefore, whether in officialdom or business, the White Water Chen Clan's reputation was always effective. Even the magistrate of White Water County treated the Chen Clan with great respect, and would personally consult the head of the Chen Household family whenever there was a major event in the county.

In the past, Chen Moyan would have been overjoyed.

However, he has a nephew who is Foundation Establishment Immortal Master!

Having received numerous instructions from this immortal master nephew, his horizons broadened, and his mind had long since left the mundane world. He focused on cultivation and revitalizing the Lineage, determined to develop Lineage into a leading cultivation Lineage.

Today, the main branch of the White Water Chen Clan has handed over all worldly commerce to the branch branches, allowing them to support their clansmen through business, while the main branch focuses wholeheartedly on cultivation.

With Chen Shuangbai's protection, and the fact that his fellow Dao Child, who were eager to curry favor with him, instructed their Lineage to be close to the White Water Chen Clan and frequently offered them benefits, they were finally on the right track as a cultivation Lineage.
