Preaching the Dao
At this moment, Gaoyang Zhenkong looked at the nearly 30 Middle Tier experts who had gathered there, and slowly stood up to invite everyone, especially Wang An.
"Gentlemen, in accordance with the traditions of many academies in our galaxy, we will hold a conference to welcome the founders of the new extraordinary path. This will allow our two paths to exchange ideas, learn from each other's strengths, and enhance our mutual understanding. During this conference, please focus solely on presenting your viewpoints and refrain from discussing any unrelated force fields."
The extraordinary individuals present were also sensible and did not do anything too outrageous when the guests first arrived.
Subsequently, at the invitation of Vice Dean Gaoyang Zhenkong, Wang An and others arrived at a bronze valley.
The Bronze Valley is surrounded by mountains for several kilometers around.
When the group arrived, the valley was already surrounded by thousands of extraordinary beings.
This scene also shocked Wang An. Based on this, he estimated that there were probably at least 10,000 Beginner Transcendent Stage in the entire Bronze Human Race. With the number of twenty or so Middle Tier present, the total number of Bronze Humans should not exceed one hundred.
Various chairs and benches were set up on the mountainsides surrounding the valley, providing seating for other cultivators who came to watch the Daoist debate.
The group did not linger, but landed on a small island in the lake in the center of the valley.
The scenery remains the same; a quiet and elegant pavilion stands serenely, now furnished with numerous cushions and seats.
Upon seeing this familiar object, Wang An felt a surge of emotion.
"Only among the human race, and specifically among those with a self-cultivating and self-rectifying Transcendent System, could these applications arise."
After everyone took their seats, Wang An, as a guest, and Gaoyang Zhenkong entered the main seats in the center.
"Thump"
With the sound of a bronze bell, the hearts, souls, bodies, and minds of everyone present were cleansed.
The previously noisy sounds immediately quieted down.
At the invitation of Gaoyang Zhenkong, Wang An gave a sermon first.
The opening statement was a definitive conclusion about the system itself, clarifying for everyone the type, worldview, and specific principles of this cultivation system.
"From the current perspective, my Transcendent System can be divided into the category of self-cultivation and self-proof, the path of immortal cultivation, and the path of Law Runes."
"Based on this classification, mortal beings of levels 2-10 are categorized as [Heavenly Register Qi Refining Cultivator], the Beginner Transcendent Stage is [Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator], the Middle Tier is [Divine Ability Purple Mansion Perfected Person], and the envisioned High Tier [Golden Core True Lord] is also included."
He then Avatar, explaining step by step how to cultivate and attain enlightenment, progressing from the lowest to the highest level.
"What is a Heavenly Talisman? Dao Foundation Establishment stage. Through this Heavenly Talisman, one can obtain various refining powers and extraordinary, wondrous abilities."
"It can be personally bestowed upon those at the Dao Foundation, or it can be bestowed through visualization using celestial talismans, magical artifacts, talismans, Formation Domain, or inscribed diagrams."
"What is Qi Refining? It is the process of cultivating all the Qi of heaven and earth into the body, combining 108 strands into a single Innate Mystic Qi, from which various principles and techniques naturally arise."
"What is the Heaven and Earth Qi? The energy, information, and matter of all things in the world can all be seen as originating from the same primordial Qi, hence all things possess myriad Qi."
Then, with a wave of his hand, wisps of warm Greater Yang Qi emanating from the Supreme Yang in the sky were drawn in. Countless water vapors from the air and lakes began to gather, along with pure air, earth energy, and the unique bronze energy of this place, converging in the high sky, creating a colorful spectacle.
Wang An then inquired about the feasibility of Gaoyang Zhenkong, thus expanding the scope of his investigation.
Countless Heaven and Earth Qi swiftly flowed into the sky above the valley. Just as many of the onlookers at the Initial Transcendent Stage [Nether Principle Officiant] were still somewhat confused, two streams of Innate Mystic Qi were born from this.
However, it is [the Innate Greater Yang Sunlight Radiant Mystic Qi] and [the tranquil and peaceful Mystic Qi of the innate Gui water].
The reasons for the emergence of these two Innate Mystic Qi, namely the radiance and the concealment of the Dharma, were thus revealed, leaving everyone present extremely amazed that the Dharma principles could be extracted in such a way.
"This... they've extracted their principles so simply. Our Bronze Priest System needs to understand the [spiritual essence] contained within various bronze spiritual plants, bronze mines, and bronze buildings in order to comprehend their internal principles."
"However, these two are actually quite similar, both being cultivation processes. They involve Qi Refining into the body while simultaneously comprehending the principles of the Dharma. Our use of bronze-related items is also a process of cultivating our Life-Bound Dharma Artifact."
The Middle Tier cultivators who were watching Wang An's refining and absorption process were also astonished.
Shennong Yinmu expressed some admiration for this ability to refine the Heaven and Earth Qi, reflecting the worldview of Primordial Qi.
"Their kind of Transcendent System seems to focus more on the natural matter itself, which is very different from our approach of first infecting all things with bronze and then analyzing them from the perspective of bronze."
Gaoyang Zhenkong from a broader perspective.
"That's right. This type of system is more about understanding the natural laws of heaven and earth. Our Bronze Priest System tends to find answers through practice. By gathering all our past experiences, we created the rules of [rites] from the use of bronze artifacts. It is precisely through this practice and application that we have been able to advance to High Tier of civilization."
The Middle Tier experts present were somewhat amazed by their ability to comprehend nature so closely, but this also further confirmed that their system and method of comprehending Lifa were more in line with their own.
As one stream of Mystic Qi after another was refined, Wang An continued his explanation.
"Thus, even at the mortal level, one can now perform various magical arts, laying the groundwork for a future understanding of Lifa."
He then released a portion of his extraordinary aura to alter the energy environment of the area.
The rich [Ruin Copper Spiritual Essence] here quickly transformed into a large amount of Life Primordial Qi. Under the powerful control and guidance of the Yin Spirit's thoughts, even higher levels of [Life Spiritual Primordial Qi] were generated.
"This type of energy is the unique Life Primordial Qi, [Life Spiritual Primordial Qi] of my Transcendent System, which is extremely compatible with human civilization based on flesh and blood."
"Absorbing this Life Primordial Qi at the Qi Refining level can nourish the three treasures of Essence Qi, and spirit. Based on the quantity of refined Mystic Qi and the level of life, it is divided into Qi Refining Ninth Layer, from which one can progress step by step."
"At the threshold of transcendence, by referring to and comprehending the Mystic Qi and the laws of Heavenly Blessing, and by Law Runes that are more suited to ourselves. This is the origin of the Heavenly Rune."
"In addition, one should select a Dao Foundation that resonates with oneself, and refine the Dao Foundation and Bearing the imagery using Mystic Qi and cosmic symbolic objects. Then, a promotion ceremony that aligns with the imagery is held. The celestial talisman and the Dao Foundation resonate and protect each other, allowing one to spontaneously advance to a transcendent level."
"After this, depending on one's own understanding of the Dao and the different imagery of the materials used to forge the Dao Foundation, one can Divine Ability 1 to 5 minor Divine Ability, which can also be called Innate Ability."
"Cultivation at the Dao Foundation begins with the cultivation of the Dao Foundation and Divine Ability, starting with Dao Foundation, Level 1."
Until this point, the Beginner Transcendent Stage present felt that although this system had some unique features, its overall framework was not much different from many other systems in the Milky Way. They did not expect that the real upheaval would occur at the extraordinary level.
A newly initiated [Nether Principle Officiant] exclaimed in surprise.
"My goodness, one Dao Foundation at level 1 means three Dao Foundation at the Initial Tier stage are equivalent to 15 minor Divine Ability. How can other Transcendent System compare to three or five Innate Ability?"
