He felt that the Shangqing Realm was a vast ocean and an unfathomable abyss.
Every time his comprehension improved, it was like dropping a drop of water into the ocean or throwing a stone into the abyss.
To break through to the Shangqing Realm, one had to fill up the ocean and level the abyss.
He felt that every improvement he made was insignificant.
He couldn't imagine how talented this person was to be able to fill up the ocean and level the abyss.
"I've answered your question. Now it's your turn."
"Have you heard of Daoism's' Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets all things'?"
"Spiritual master, your question is a bit insulting. Isn't that from the Book of Daoism?"
Chen Zhao pursed his lips. Even though he didn't know much about Daoism, he'd still read the Book of Daoism.
He wasn't completely familiar with it, but he could still remember such a classic saying.
"That's exactly what I'm talking about," Spiritual Master Qiong Ding said.
"Then I'll listen to your advice."
"My ancestor of the Lin family used Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets all things as the foundation. He derived a complete cultivation method called the 'Method of One Breath.' It's divided into four levels based on the four sentences of the Book of Daoism. Any descendant of the Lin family who can cultivate it will cultivate it. Almost every descendant of the Lin family can only cultivate the first level. I've also cultivated the first level, Dao begets One."
"You want to teach me the Method of One Breath?"
"No. The Method of One Breath is a secret technique passed down in my family. It can't be taught to outsiders easily. However, I can share the concept of the Method of One Breath with you."
"I'd like to hear the details." Chen Zhao couldn't help but become more serious.
Reaching the Shangqing Realm with just one level proved that the Method of One Breath wasn't an ordinary cultivation method.
"Dao begets One. I've already understood it thoroughly. Using one's own Dao to fuse with the power of heaven and earth, freeing oneself from a small world. This is called One."
Chen Zhao thought about it and found it reasonable.
Everyone had their own experiences, but Spiritual Master Qiong Ding was talking about fusing with the power of heaven and earth.
It was most likely referring to the process of fusing heavenly runes into one's own body to create a small world.
"Furthermore, 'one is two' means that the small world will give birth to the Inner World. The Inner World and the Inner World are two, and the two complement each other. The second level of the 'One Qi Method' contains the key to cultivating the Inner World."
Chen Zhao nodded slightly. He was experienced, so he knew more than Venerable Qiong Ding.
However, the process was much more complicated than what Daoist Master Qiong Ding had described.
However, the steps were roughly the same.
Perfected Master Qiong Ding didn't want to share the technique with Chen Zhao.
Of course, Chen Zhao wouldn't share his things with him.
"The third level, Two Begets Three, is about Heaven, Earth, and Man. These three can also be said to be the Interior Realm, the Outer Realm, and the human body. These three are integrated into one, which is your current realm …"
"Ascendance," Chen Zhao said.
Spiritual Master Qiong Ding was enlightened. He nodded with certainty. "That's right. The three ascendance levels are heaven, earth, and me. I can be in heaven and earth, and heaven and earth can be in me. We can turn into a world, and the world is me."
"Also, Three Begets All Things, which means that all things can be born," Perfected Master Qiong Ding continued. "This is what you're troubled about now."
"Yes." Chen Zhao listened more seriously.
He had to admit that Perfected Master Qiong Ding's cultivation wasn't high, but he did have some understanding of his current realm.
Of course, it wasn't completely the same.
Compared to Chen Zhao's current level of cultivation, it was mostly self-discovery.
There was no possibility of duplicating it.
He used things that were pieced together to get rid of the weeds and retain the essence.
Then, he combined them into a complete technique.
A technique that belonged to Chen Zhao alone.
Even if Chen Zhao wanted to teach it, there probably wouldn't be a second person who could practice it.
It seemed that the "One Qi Method" was indeed extraordinary.
"Looks like the Lin ancestor isn't an ordinary person either."
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. Although my ancestor's talent was unparalleled, his cultivation base was not as high as fellow Daoist thinks. My ancestor first created the first two levels of the 'One Energy Dao Technique'. After that, his cultivation base reached that level. Then, he used his cultivation base to explore the next two levels. Although he created the technique, it was mostly a trial and error. He had never truly cultivated it before, so there was no way to verify what effects it could achieve. Although my ancestor had once tried to break through to a higher realm, he was ultimately limited by his lifespan."
"Then what about Three Begets All Things?"
"The inner world is hidden in the body. The human body is also known as the treasure of the human body. It contains everything. It can give birth to Yin and Yang, and naturally, all things. The key to all things is the foundation of all things."
"The foundation of all things? What's that? "
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"It's not that I'm hiding it, but I don't know either. Even my ancestor only theorized it. He didn't try it himself."
"Since it's only theorized, how do you know about the foundation of all things?"
"That's what I'm going to talk to you about."
Chen Zhao didn't interrupt. He waited silently for Spiritual Master Qiong Ding to continue.
"My ancestor once obtained an incomplete ritual implement. I don't know who made it, nor do I know how it was made. However, this ritual implement contains some kind of indescribable technique. There is a mysterious substance left on the ritual implement. This substance seems to be able to change into all kinds of substances, and can even change according to one's will. My ancestor named this item Myriad Life. However, this substance is too rare. If we don't repair the ritual implement, we won't be able to produce that substance again. My ancestor once tried to repair this ritual implement, but to no avail. If Mister Chen can help me repair this ritual implement, then I am willing to share Myriad Life with you."
"How can you be sure that I can repair it?"
"To repair it, I need an extremely important item. You're the only one who has it. No one else has it."
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes. What did he have that no one else had?
It couldn't be anything substantial.
Power? Or spiritual power of the Ascendant State?
"What exactly is it?"
"The Heavenly Dao, which is also the world's intent."
Chen Zhao chuckled. "Spiritual Master Qiong Ding, do you know what you're saying?"
"Friend, I know that the world's intent is important to you, but don't you want to improve it?"
Spiritual Master Qiong Ding wanted nothing else but Chen Zhao's foundation.
Inside and outside combined to form a small world. The foundation of the small world's existence was Chen Zhao's own Dao.
Chen Zhao controlled the Feathered Serpent God's world, but he hadn't completely absorbed the world's intent.
Thus, Chen Zhao couldn't take it out even if he wanted to. Spiritual Master Qiong Ding wanted to repair something he didn't know the use of. No one would agree, not even Chen Zhao.
