The Heavenly Heart Forms of Itself, All Things Find Their Own Order

"Seize the Three Rankings, slay Tianshun, and annihilate the Xiao Household!"

Yu Tunzhou's gaze lingered on the last line.

Why was the Xiao Household wiped out?

Of the three great Lineage Divine Capital —the Dan family, the Jiang Clan, and the Xiao Household —why was the Xiao Household the only one to be wiped out?

Is it the Xiao Household's [Heaven-Monitoring Codex], or is there another reason?

Yu Tunzhou was certain that this demoness wouldn't just spout off like that.

These nine characters probably contain her entire scheme.

Huntian thought to himself, "Xuandu Du accepted the matter of becoming Emperor so easily. It seems my guess was right. This is what that Heavenly Venerable meant!"

Yu Tunzhou put away the letter and temporarily suppressed the matter.

At this juncture, it is still in the early stages of the development of the Dharma Domain.

After confirming with Liu Qiandao that everything was going smoothly in Northern Plains for the time being, Yu Tunzhou went into seclusion again to continue deducing the opening of the Dharma Domain. This seclusion lasted for two months.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

In the secret room.

Yu Tunzhou sat cross-legged on the jade.

Within a three-zhang radius around him, light and shadow distorted slightly like ripples on water, and an invisible field sliced apart the surrounding world.

Within three zhang (approximately 10 meters), there existed his own little world, where law, principle, and the Way were integrated into one.

Now, of the three foundations, the two foundations of "No-Self" and "Wuji" have been established, achieving perfect harmony and unimpeded progress.

These two steps were taken faster and more smoothly than he had anticipated.

The first level, "No-Self," completely separates one's own existence from the principles of heaven and earth. No matter how many Divine Ability or laws one possesses, within this three-zhang area, one is not subject to any restraint or suppression.

The second layer, "Wuji," suspends the stripped-out "self" high in the unknown Void, as if this is the beginning of chaos, the beginning of heaven and earth, from which all Divine Ability and laws are born.

After completing this step, Yu Tunzhou had a the Unseen that one of the keys to the formation of the third layer, "Dominion," lay in the second layer, "Wuji."

At this moment, Yu Tunzhou sat upright on the jade, attempting to expand his own Dharma Domain outwards. With his own will, he guided the laws existing within his Dharma Domain that he permitted, reorganizing and reconstructing them to create a new world of order according to his own will. Boom—

A slight tremor exploded around him.

The scattered fragments of legal principles within the Dharma Domain, like gunpowder ignited, triggered a chain reaction of explosions in an instant!

The originally stable and formless Dharma Domain took shape in the explosion, churning violently. The backlash made Yu Tunzhou feel a slightly sweet taste in his throat, and he finally managed to suppress the rising Qi and Blood.

"It's still not quite there..."

Yu Tunzhou opened his eyes, his expression calm, pondering which link in the chain had gone wrong.

During this period, the construction of the first two floors went more smoothly than expected, but the troubles on the third floor also far exceeded expectations.

A few days ago, he met with the returned Senior Jiang Wenxuan to ask him about the differences between the Dharma Domain, Grandmaster, and Dharma Aspect.

The essence of the Dharma Domain is that it is a private world created by the martial artist.

The ultimate result is the Dharma form that "takes itself as the center of heaven and earth and has absolute control over the Dharma Aspect of law."

This is also the biggest difference between Martial Dao Dharma Aspect and Immortals and Gods.

Immortals and Gods also possess physical bodies hundreds or thousands of feet tall, forged from the principles of law, capable of amplifying the power of all Divine Ability abilities and spells. However, this is completely different from the Dharma Aspect of Martial Dao.

The greatest transformation in the Immortal Dao of immortality, from mortal to immortal, lies in the Inner Heaven and Earth. After overcoming tribulations, True Spirit is born in the Inner Heaven and Earth, with laws and rules contained within, and it begins to evolve into the true world.

In the realm of True Immortal, the Inner Heaven and Earth can be condensed into a blessed land, suspended high in the sky, nurturing and protecting all living beings, which people call the Immortal Heaven.

The so-called Immortal Heaven is the realm of immortals.

Upon reaching the Golden Immortal, the blessed lands and grotto-heavens continued to expand, forming almost a complete world.

Finally, after breaking through to the Dao Lord, the word "almost" is removed, which is the legendary "Forming a Heaven of One's Own".

It can be said that the Inner Heaven and Earth is the source of power and transformation of Immortals and Gods, and the foundation of their Changsheng.

The more perfect the universe is, the longer one's lifespan, and the greater Divine Ability become.

The path that Dharma Aspect took was completely different from his.

Martial Dao also have an Inner Heaven and Earth, but at the stage of Dharma Aspect, it does not choose to open up the Inner Heaven and Earth and make it an independent and complete world to nurture and contain all spirits.

The differences actually begin with the External Scenery.

In the first three levels of the Outer Martial Dao External Scenery, the Inner Heaven and Earth and the Primordial Spirit Spirit Aspect begin to gradually merge. The External Scenery Fourth Layer opens up Dharma Domain.

The External Scenery Fifth Layer Dharma Domain has been fully completed.

Then we arrive at the final level --

Dharma Aspect.

The so-called Dharma Aspect is the high-level integration of a martial artist's Inner Heaven and Earth, Inner View the Primordial Spirit, and personal will.

This path abandons the exploration of the Inner Heaven and Earth and the nurturing of all things, which means giving up "Changsheng" in exchange for absolute control over the laws and principles.

The Martial Dao Dharma Aspect, which integrates the Dharma Domain, the Inner View of the Primordial Spirit, personal Martial Intention, and the Inner Heaven and Earth, is something that Immortals and Gods cannot contend with in terms of their cultivated Dharma bodies.

In comparison, one is solid, and the other is hollow.

The latter shatters at the slightest touch.

Therefore, for Dharma Aspect to advance further is extremely difficult. While Immortals and Gods only need to cultivate their Inner Heaven and Earth to achieve transformation, they can ascend step by step. But for Dharma Aspect—

Jiang Wenxuan couldn't help but shake his head when he mentioned this.

Only Inner Heaven and Earth, the inner Inner View of the Primordial Spirit, and personal Martial Intention all undergo simultaneous transformation can one be qualified to continue advancing. In the past thousand years, only two people have stepped into the Golden Immortal realm through Martial Dao.

One Martial Ancestor, and the other Old Wang of the Anguo Ji Clan.

After discussing the differences between Immortals and Gods and deities and Dharma Aspect, Jiang Wenxuan suddenly became curious about how Yu Tunzhou suppressed Xue Wuya, and immediately experienced his Dharma Domain.

After personally experiencing the power of the Yu Tunzhou Dharma Domain, Jiang Wenxuan instantly understood how he had suppressed Xue Wuya.

The Dharma Domain of most powerful individuals are built around their own expertise in Divine Ability and principles. The essence of this is nothing more than creating a small world where they are in control, suppressing their opponents, and strengthening themselves.

While Yu Tunzhou's Dharma Domain doesn't possess the latter's effect, it maximizes the ability to suppress the opponent.

If he wasn't mistaken, Xue Wuya probably didn't even manage to fully unleash his Dharma Aspect during that battle.

Within the range of the Yu Tunzhou Dharma Domain, what is suppressed is not only the opponent's Dharma Domain, but also all laws and Divine Ability, making it almost impervious to all laws.

At Jiang Wenxuan's suggestion, Yu Tunzhou tried to follow the path of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, aligning his own heart with the heart of heaven and his own way with the way of all things.

But in the end, it still fell short of expectations.

After carefully examining the situation, Jiang Wenxuan concluded that:

Too mild-mannered. It doesn't match his reputation as Dao Path.

Jiang Wenxuan pointed out incisively that the key to his path probably lies in the word "integration".

Anyone else would be right to align their own way with the way of all things, but he alone still seemed to be lacking something.

Perhaps it shouldn't be "merge," but rather "replace."

To substitute one's own heart for the heart of Heaven, and one's own way for the way of all things.

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs. Yet, the term 'straw dog' does not imply contempt. All things have their own way, and the sage also has his own way..."

Finally, he shook his head and said softly:

"If the way of the sage is combined with the way of all things, then the world will follow; if the way of the sage is replaced by the way of all things, then the world will rebel."

"Your path..."

Finally, Jiang Wenxuan shook his head, unable to understand why Yu Tunzhou, who claimed to have obtained the Grand Purity inheritance, would take this path.

This is the complete opposite of the Grand Purity Lineage's "following the natural way, being pure and inactive" Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity.

In the end, Jiang Wenxuan dared not offer Yu Tunzhou any more advice, and simply let him figure it out on his own. However, Yu Tunzhou was inspired after that encounter.

Should "dai" be used instead of ""?

This gave him some new ideas.

Just like right now.

" To Dominion..."

The Yu Tunzhou, murmuring softly.

Is "generation" replacing ""?

During this period, he was trying to replace the will of Heaven with his own and to create a new world of order through his own will.

But the result was still a failure.

"He" is too mild.

"Dai" is too overbearing.

Yu Tunzhou fell into deep thought. This contradiction reminded him of a phrase, a classic that had been passed down for countless years in his previous life—the Doctrine of the Mean, impartiality and neutrality. He suddenly recalled Jiang Wenxuan's last concerns.

The Grand Purity Lineage emphasizes purity and non-action, Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity.

However, the Dao Path seemed too domineering and extreme.

But is that really the case?

Yu Tunzhou suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

Taking "harmony" as the guiding principle is too mild;

If one takes "substitution" as the way, the world will rebel.

"Following the natural order Wuji; going against it leads to the Taiji."

Yu Tunzhou uttered these eight words softly.

He had always thought there were two paths, but later he realized that they were one.

The Dao Path is neither good nor bad, nor is it an extreme source of worry.

Because No-Self, there is no like or dislike. Because Wuji, there is no bias.

The final Dominion will naturally be impartial and unbiased.

But if one day he really has to go to some extreme, that would just prove the Dao Path:

Following the natural order leads to the Wuji; going against it leads to the Taiji.

But before that, this path should not have been "biased".

This path is neither about Dominion all things, nor about providing for all things.

"But instead..."

His mind suddenly cleared, and within the three-zhang Dharma Domain, all the scattered Dharma principles suddenly came to a standstill.

"Heaven's will is self-evident, and all things follow their own order."

The moment the words fell.

The three-zhang Dharma Domain suddenly trembled, and those static fragments of law principles spontaneously began to surge and move like flowing water, each finding its own position.

There was no explosion. There was no backlash.

A complete, self-consistent little world quietly takes shape, like a reflection in water.

Yu Tunzhou felt an unprecedented sense of clarity.

Within the Dharma Domain, all laws and principles operate on their own under his "Dao." "I" am like the Dao of Heavenly Dao, high above, not interfering with the birth and death of all things, yet all things follow the Heavenly Dao.

Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs.

Yu Tunzhou said softly, having gained a deeper understanding of these words from the Dao and Virtue Classic.

He felt the Dharma Domain that Heaven itself had created.

Previously, he could suppress the opponent's laws with his Dharma Domain, but he himself was also limited by his Dharma Domain and could not use his laws, so he could only rely on the strength of his physical body.

But now, everything in the Dharma Domain is in its own order, which can both suppress the other party's control over the legal principles and not affect his mastery of the legal principles.

This day.

Yu Tunzhou as they left the pass.

After three months of seclusion, the basic form of the Dharma Domain was further completed, and the foundation for the third level of "Dominion" was laid. What remained was refinement. However, refinement does not necessarily mean endless seclusion.

The exchange and clashes with strong opponents are also a form of refinement.

On the day he emerged from the pass, he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart and quickly found the source—

It's Ultimate Art!

The External Scenery Third Layer, while the Inner Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit Spirit Aspect, which will most likely give birth to unique Divine Ability techniques belonging to martial artists.

It is also known as Ultimate Art.

It is not an innate Divine Ability, but it is better than an innate Divine Ability.

He sensed something when he broke through the External Scenery Third Layer; it was quite mysterious and he couldn't interfere. However, the favor of heaven and earth could influence the development of Ultimate Art.

He originally planned to first cultivate his Ultimate Art before establishing his Dharma Domain.

However, they eventually discovered that the development of Ultimate Art required a considerable amount of time, so they turned their attention to establishing their Dharma Domain first.

In any case, he didn't need to expend any effort to develop the Ultimate Art.

Now that his Dharma Domain is nascent, the completion rate of his Ultimate Art has also increased significantly. Is this an unexpected surprise, or is there a connection between the two? Originally, he expected that even with the blessing of heaven and earth, it would still take several years to complete, but now, it seems that only one year remains?

It remains to be seen whether the remaining time will be significantly shortened once the prototype of the Dharma Domain is finalized.

If his guess is proven correct, it would demonstrate that there is indeed some connection between his Ultimate Art and the Dharma Domain.

Yu Tunzhou stepped out of his secluded chamber.

He first found Liu Qiandao, told him that he was about to leave to go to the Star Palace, and then inquired about the changes in Northern Plains during this period.

When the changes in Northern Plains were mentioned, Liu Qiandao smiled:

"So far, everything is going smoothly, and everyone is cooperating well. The first batch of Northern Plains people who practiced the Agricultural God Stance are almost at the point where they can draw upon the earth's energy."

"Those with good potential can already draw upon the earth's energy and nourish the land."

"I plan to organize a patrol force to wipe out the bandits and brigands throughout the Northern Plains. Then, as originally planned, I will have the people of the Northern Plains go outside the city to cultivate wasteland and increase this year's grain harvest."

Yu Tunzhou nods:

"As long as the grain harvest increases significantly and the people can fill their stomachs, they can forge Lower Vehicle -level martial foundation and break through the Form Refinement using only their Blood Qi, without relying on Profound Qi."

"At that time, even without patrols, they will be able to handle a considerable number of bandits and outlaws." "Has the selection process begun in various locations?"

Yu Tunzhou inquired whether the selection he mentioned was a selection of young martial artists from various parts of Northern Plains.

Limited by age, the greatest potential inevitably lies with young people.

In the past, Martial Dao were hindered by Profound Qi, and even if ordinary people had great talent, Aristocratic Clan would not easily waste their Profound Qi to cultivate offspring from outside their clan.

Therefore, in the eyes of powerful families in various Aristocratic Clan, ordinary people were nothing more than leeks in the field.

But now everything is different.

Some Aristocratic Clan have already realized this and have begun to "do good deeds and accumulate virtue" within their jurisdictions to win over people's hearts and try to recruit talented commoner martial artists into their clans and teach them martial arts.

"After my return, I will begin to organize my martial arts techniques and pass them on to the people. You can spread the word first."

Since Yu Tunzhou had foreseen all of this, how could he allow the Aristocratic Clan to retain all the benefits?

As for the present situation, the people of Northern Plains have just come into contact with Martial Dao and are still in the basic stage before Qi Ingestion, not yet at the point of practicing martial arts.

In Yu Tunzhou's vision for the future of Northern Plains, these first Northern Plains citizens who practice Martial Dao will have sufficient autonomy.

At least they don't need to join any sect or school to avoid being blocked in their cultivation. Of course, this doesn't mean they all have to fight alone or not join Aristocratic Clan or sect, because in addition to Cultivation Method, they also need various resources and guidance from good teachers.

This means that what attracts them will no longer be small favors; if families want to bring these people under their wing, they will have to offer more attractive and enticing conditions.

Even within the inner circle, inward competition can occur!

This is the true purpose of the Yu Tunzhou.

They ruthlessly shed blood from various sects to cultivate a new generation of martial artists in Northern Plains, thereby increasing the overall strength of Northern Plains.

Now that Martial Dao are no longer restricted by Profound Qi, the shackles have been broken. With such a large population, Yu Tunzhou is very curious about how many exceptionally talented "Martial Dao geniuses" can emerge from this vast Northern Plains.

The Eastern Wilderness, which started earlier than the Northern Plains but has a much smaller population, has already produced Martial Dao who have been personally taken in as disciples by the Daoist Shouzheng of Floating Hill Mountain.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Yu Tunzhou smiled and looked up at the distant sky.

Such a prosperous era was created entirely by him; how could one not look forward to its future development?

... Central Province, Star Palace.

As one of the two great ancestral temples of Heavenly Secrets Technique, on par with the Jixia Academy, Star Palace has always served the imperial family and, together with the Jixia Academy, managed the Human Emperor's Three Rankings.

Throughout history, no matter which dynasty came to power and unified the country, they would not touch these two families in the slightest.

This is because it is the decree left by the last holy emperor of the ancient human race.

But this tradition has been broken in this lifetime.

"Junior brother, you should leave with the Human Ranking!"

The expression on the Daoist Purple Mountain's face was more solemn than ever before.

"Don't let your master down!"

Mo Shougui smile, "Senior brother, where can we escape to? That's the Dao Lord's ' Destined Convergence into One '!"

He looked dejected, a far cry from his former high spirits.

As the most outstanding disciple of the Star Palace in hundreds of years, Mo Shougui's Purple Star Astrology Shu successfully broke through to the eighth level last year, and he could even predict the fate of Immortals and Gods, but he failed to foresee the great calamity that the Star Palace was about to suffer!

The Star Palace's enemies are not just a single Dao Lord! The infighting of the Great Yuan, the Xiao Household's scheming, and even the betrayal of the Jixia Academy —all of these have led the Star Palace to its demise.

"The destiny He saw was the only one after its conclusion; no matter how the process changed, the ending would always lead to the ending He saw..."

"There's no hope..."

Mo Shougui's eyes showed pain and despair as he said,

"Master won't last much longer. He and I are both at the eighth level of Purple Star Astrology. Even though Master's cultivation is more profound than mine, he can't withstand it!"

"We will protect the Three Rankings, even unto death! This is the mission left behind by the Human Emperor!" Daoist Purple Mountain's eyes flashed with anger as he rebuked, "Junior brother! You have cultivated the Heavenly Secrets Technique for many years, have you already forgotten the words passed down through generations of the Star Palace?"

Amidst the shouts and jeers, Mo Shougui was pulled back from despair to reality.

The Star Palace is based on Heavenly Secrets Technique, attempting to glimpse the destiny of Heaven.

However, every disciple of the Star Palace received a piece of advice upon entering the sect:

The will of Heaven cannot be defied!

Once you've embarked on the right path of cultivation and are qualified to enter the Ancestral Hall, you'll see these five characters written on the wall; they were left by the Star Palace Ancestral Master.

But beneath these five words lies another eight: Things never end, and variables always exist!

I need to take a day off, I'll make it up tomorrow.

I've been having trouble sleeping these past couple of days, so I'm feeling a bit down...

I'll take a day off and update tomorrow.
