Wood Island had seven forbidden grounds. Mu Qi's real body was the seventh pine.
Inside the seventh pine, there were tens of millions of years of Mu Qi's comprehension of wood. Those comprehensions were fused into the seventy-two Buddhist talismans. The last six strokes were the essence of the talismans. Ning Fan comprehended them and integrated them into his own devil talisman. Thus, there was no reason for Ning Fan to continue staying in the seventh pine.
After giving his advice, Mu Qi returned to the tree. Ning Fan kept the essence of the Builder Wood and left the seventh pine with the others. They walked all the way to the sixth pine.
The sixth pine was also a purple-skinned ancient pine. The aura it exuded was much heavier than the seventh pine. Within a hundred steps, the air seemed to be frozen. There was no sound of wind. It was terrifyingly quiet.
That kind of silence was the silence of not saying a word for ten years. It was the silence of the Dao that if I don't speak, the world will be silent.
Ning Fan stared at the Sixth Pine Tree and fell into deep thought. The group of disciples of the Wooden Island walked to a hundred steps away from the Sixth Pine Tree and bowed to him. Zen Master Song Guo even lowered his voice and did not dare to speak loudly. He reported to the Sixth Pine Tree that Ning Fan was going to come here to gain enlightenment. He also told the sixth pine spirit about Ning Fan's creation of the ancestral talisman in the seventh pine.
After a long time, a human face finally emerged on the sixth pine. It was the spirit of the sixth pine, Mu Liu.
Mu Liu didn't say a word, but his eyes were fixed on Ning Fan. He was a little moved and attentive.
Then, he opened his mouth and spat out dozens of green light balls in front of Ning Fan.
"It's the essence of the Builder Wood again!" Wu Laoba's eyes were burning, but he did not understand why this silent tree spirit gave his master so much essence of the Builder Wood as soon as they met. If it was a meeting gift, it was too generous.
Song Country Zen Master saw Ning Fan's puzzled face and explained, "Sixth Martial Uncle didn't speak. He wanted to be like Seventh Martial Uncle and watch the scene of Fellow Daoist creating your own devil talisman. He wanted to gain enlightenment from it and break through the bottleneck. This essence of the Builder Wood is the reward for Sixth Martial Uncle. He won't let Fellow Daoist work for nothing. "
"I see …"
Ning Fan nodded and kept all the green light balls in front of him. Then, he said to Mu Liu, "Fellow Daoist, please show us your Buddha talismans."
This time, he did not walk within a hundred steps of the sixth pine tree. If he wanted to comprehend the Dao of this pine tree, there was no need to walk under the tree. It was undoubtedly faster to comprehend from the talisman of the tree spirit.
Mu Liu still did not say a word. However, after Ning Fan made his request, he opened his mouth and spat out a ray of green light. The green light soared into the sky and gradually formed a Buddhist talisman with the pattern of an ancient pine tree in mid-air.
Mu Liu's talismans had a total of 74 strokes. It was much more profound than Mu Qi's talismans. The strangest thing was that the moment the Buddhist talisman appeared, the entire world became deathly silent. It was as if all sound had disappeared in an instant.
"The foundation of the Dao of Wood that the sixth tree spirit comprehended is also pine. What he comprehended is the silent meaning of pine …"
Ning Fan clasped his hands behind his back and stood a hundred steps away from the Sixth Pine Tree. He slowly closed his eyes. In his mind, every stroke of Mu Liu's Buddha Talisman kept repeating.
His heart gradually merged with the Dao sense of the Sixth Pine Tree. The intricate 74 strokes of the Buddha Talisman began to become clear and easy to understand at a glance.
"This Buddha Talisman has a total of 74 strokes. Just like Mu Liu's Buddha Talisman, it has 66 strokes as its foundation. As for the strokes that contain the Dao of Wood, there are 8 strokes …"
Ning Fan raised his right index finger. Devil light shone from it and he drew the pattern of the devil talisman in front of him.
The 158 strokes of the ancestral talisman slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Especially the last six strokes of the talisman, it gave Wu Laoba, Zen Master Song Guo and the other cultivators an incomparably profound feeling. It was as if the six strokes of the talisman contained countless Dao of Wood. However, it was too abstruse and obscure. As a result, they wanted to imitate it and trace the Dao path with their own strength. However, they realized that they could not do it at all …
Even so, just by looking at these few strokes, everyone more or less had their own comprehension of the Dao of Wood. Even though the comprehension was not much, it still made them feel happy.
Especially Wu Laoba. He had an almost paranoid obsession with the Dao of Wood. Among the thousands of Dao in the world, he did not know why but he only loved this Dao.
How could Wu Laoba not be happy to be able to obtain his own comprehension of the Dao of Wood from the scene of Ning Fan comprehending the talisman? He was already resigned to submitting to Ning Fan. At this moment, he felt that it was an incomparably wise decision to become Ning Fan's slave!
"The peach and plum do not speak, the path below is formed. The pine and cypress do not speak, everlasting green. The Saint did not speak for three years, the four seas were silent. Once he spoke, the world was shocked. This Sixth Tree Spirit seems to be cultivating the Silent Meditation of Buddhism. This person comprehended the Silent Meditation from the Ten Thousand Gully Pine Tree Wind. The silence of the pine tree can silence the sound of all things. Therefore, from the moment we met, this person did not speak a word. Within a hundred steps of this place, there is not even a trace of wind … "
"In terms of cultivation base, this person is much better than me. He is already at the Immortal King Realm. However, in my opinion, this person's silence of the pine tree has not yet reached the highest level. Moreover, he seems to have taken the wrong path … "
"If I were to cultivate the Silent Meditation, it would be divided into four realms. The first realm is fear but not speaking, this is not daring. The second realm is pain but not speaking, this is not willing. The third realm is laughter but not speaking, this is not necessary. The last realm is no sorrow nor joy, no heart and no thoughts, wanting to speak but forgetting to speak, this is not holding …"
"This person did not speak but his heart could not calm down. When he saw me, his heart was obviously excited but he did not dare to speak. He forced himself to remain silent. Even in the Silent Meditation, it can be considered to be at a disadvantage. This person's Dao has fear. His comprehension of the Eight Brush Wood has also been imperceptibly stained with a trace of fear. The true silence is not the mouth but the heart. I can take away his comprehension but this fear is not acceptable. It must be modified before I can integrate it into my devil talisman … "
The 159th painting, the 160th painting, the 161st painting … Every stroke increased extremely slowly. Time passed little by little and a day passed by quietly.
The number of strokes on Ning Fan's devil talisman had finally increased to 166. He had integrated all of Mu Liu's comprehension for tens of millions of years into the devil talisman!
The power of the Dao of Wood in the devil talisman had improved a lot!
The eight simple strokes contained unimaginable Dao of Wood, causing Wu Laoba and the disciples of the Wood Island to more or less gain some enlightenment. Some were thinking hard, some were frowning, each of them had a different expression.
Mu Liu's expression was as if he was suddenly enlightened. It was as if he was suddenly enlightened.
So that's why, that's why!
The reason why he was stuck at the bottleneck and could not continue to improve his cultivation base was because he had taken the wrong path …
The eight strokes that Ning Fan integrated into the devil talisman seemed similar to the eight strokes in his Buddha talisman but in fact, they were different.
Those eight strokes not only went against his Buddha intent but also integrated with his devil intent. More importantly, Ning Fan's devil talisman did not have fear in it …
Cultivation was originally something that went against the heavens. Buddhist cultivators could resign themselves to adversity and endure all of the sufferings in the world, but they should not be afraid in their hearts …
"Wood is not wood, silence is not silence. Closing one's mouth is opening but speaking is silent … All these years, I have insisted on not saying a word. Little Friend, thank you very much!"
Mu Liu sighed repeatedly. After thanking Ning Fan, he returned to the ancient pine tree. The disciples of the Wood Island were shocked. Their Sixth Martial Uncle who had not spoken for tens of millions of years actually spoke today!
"Let's go to the Fifth Pine Tree and have a look."
Ning Fan followed everyone to the forbidden area of the Fifth Pine Tree.
The Fifth Pine Tree was filled with extremely strong battle intent. Song Guo and the others reported the purpose of their visit to the Fifth Pine Tree. Suddenly, a human face appeared on the Fifth Pine Tree. It was staring at Ning Fan who was in the crowd.
"This old man is Mu Wu. What is your name?!" Mu Wu's voice was very loud. It was as if he was roaring, his voice was like thunder.
"I am Ning Fan." Even Wu Laoba, Song Guo and the others felt pain in their eardrums because of Mu Wu's voice. However, Ning Fan's expression did not change at all.
"I heard from Martial Nephew Song Guo that my Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother have obtained quite a lot of benefits from you. This old man is very interested in the matter of you creating your own ancestral talisman. However, the aura force of my Buddha talisman is very strong. Can you withstand it?! "
"Senior, please show me your Buddha talisman!"
"As you wish!"
Mu Wu suddenly roared. An unimaginably majestic battle intent shook the heavens and the earth, turning the heavens and the earth into a patch of green.
Within the green light, there was an ancient pine tree Buddha talisman. Every stroke of the talisman was formed. The number of strokes of the talisman kept increasing. The aura force it produced also became heavier and heavier.
When the Buddha talisman reached the twenty-fourth stroke, the Sense Fragmentation Realm cultivators on the island could not stand still.
When the number of strokes increased to forty-eight, the expressions of Wu Laoba, Song Guo and the others also changed. They could not withstand the battle intent of the talisman.
When the number of strokes increased to seventy-six, the entire Wood Island was submerged under Mu Wu's crazy battle intent.
Even Wu Laoba felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart when facing Mu Wu. He was actually afraid in front of Mu Wu even before the battle started.
Mu Wu did not even look at the crowd. Unlike the others who were shaken by his aura force, Ning Fan was still standing straight like a pine tree. He was not affected by the battle intent of the Heavenly Cycle at all.
This made Mu Wu look at Ning Fan in a higher light. He raised his head and laughed loudly.
"This is great! This is great! Even an ordinary Third Tribulation Immortal King would have to be cautious in front of this old man. However, you are not afraid of the suppression of this old man's will. Since that is the case, this old man will not hold back anymore! Let us fight to our heart's content! "
Mu Wu was so excited that he actually forgot his original intention. He wanted to show Ning Fan his Buddha talisman so that he could watch the scene of Ning Fan creating his own devil talisman.
At this moment, he only wanted to have a hearty battle with Ning Fan. However, after hearing his thunderous roar, that roar suddenly turned into a divine ability. It was as if a substantial green will suddenly pressed down on Ning Fan's head. It was as if a mountain was collapsing and the sky was collapsing. Its momentum was earth-shattering.
"So this Fifth Tree Spirit is a battle maniac …"
Ning Fan was slightly speechless. He came here to comprehend the Heavenly Cycle. This Mu Wu actually attacked him directly …
Of course, he could see that Mu Wu's attack was not heavy and he did not have any malicious intent. He was just excited to see a prey and wanted to spar with him.
The green will pressed down from the sky, causing the crowd to be unable to breathe. However, Ning Fan was not affected at all.
He slowly raised his hand and pressed his five fingers. The green will that was descending from the sky was suddenly torn apart by him. Then, it collapsed with a series of cracking sounds.
Ning Fan had cultivated the Yin Yang Battle Technique. He was not afraid of a battle of wills!
"Good boy, you actually tore apart this old man's will suppression. Come, come, come, let us fight again!"
Mu Wu was very excited. He wanted to fight with Ning Fan again. However, Ning Fan shook his head slightly and did not say anything. Instead, he pointed at Mu Wu in the air.
It was just an ordinary finger. The others could not see the profoundness of that finger at all. However, as soon as that finger landed, Mu Wu's eager face suddenly turned into astonishment.
That finger in the air actually sealed the flow of will in his body effortlessly, causing his originally restless battle intent to immediately calm down as if cold water had been poured over it!
I can't break free! I can't break free from this seal! This … is actually the suppression of a Peak Level Expert!
"This young man actually possesses the Dao Law of Peak Level Expert!"
Mu Wu's expression changed greatly.
In the entire Eastern Heaven, there were only four Peak Level Experts who could cultivate to the Void Level Expert Realm. There were not many Immortal Emperors who could slightly comprehend the Dao Law of Peak Level.
This young man is only an Immortal Venerable but he can actually comprehend the usage of the Dao Law of Peak Level Expert and use the power of the Peak Level Expert Realm to seal the flow of will in his body …
"When it comes to cultivation, going too far is as bad as falling short. Sir, you are a little too fond of battle … "
Ning Fan's casual words enlightened Mu Wu. After a moment of shock, Mu Wu was at a loss for a moment.
Going too far is as bad as falling short, going too far is as bad as falling short …
What he cultivated was originally Song's unyielding will, but it was unknown when it started, but he actually cultivated that unyielding will into a berserk battle intent …
Sure enough, this path is still the wrong one … If someone else said that Mu Wu had taken the wrong path, Mu Wu would still retort a few words. However, these words came from Ning Fan's mouth. The meaning was different.
Since Ning Fan could cultivate the Dao Law of Peak Level Expert Realm, his comprehension of the Dao of Will was naturally deeper than Mu Wu's. His words could not be taken lightly!
"May I ask Fellow Daoist, if I were to choose again, how should I continue on this path?"
Mu Wu changed from his previous battle lust and asked politely.
All the disciples of the Wood Island dropped their jaws in shock. This Fifth Martial Uncle was never polite to anyone. Even when facing their master, Daoist Mu Song, he would always put on an expression of superiority. Who would have thought that Fifth Martial Uncle would also be polite to others …
Ning Fan did not answer Mu Wu's question directly. Instead, he closed his eyes and sketched Mu Wu's seventy-six strokes of Buddha Talisman in his mind.
Among these seventy-six strokes, only ten of them contained the comprehension of wood. What Mu Wu comprehended was the unyielding will of Song …
Ning Fan stood there for an entire day without answering Mu Wu's question.
After a day, Ning Fan finally opened his eyes. He raised his hand and drew his devil talisman stroke by stroke.
His devil talisman had increased to 166 strokes. After fusing with Mu Wu's comprehension of wood, he raised his hand and drew the 167th stroke.
Then, it was the 168th stroke, 169th stroke, 170th stroke …
Mu Wu's comprehension of wood only had ten strokes. But this time, Ning Fan actually increased the comprehension of the Dao Law from ten strokes to twelve strokes based on his comprehension of the Dao Law.
In the end, his Devil Sign increased to 178 strokes. The more strokes he had, the more restrained the ancient pine pattern he drew became, and the more silent it became.
"Do you understand now …?" Ning Fan opened his mouth. He had already answered Mu Wu's question with his actions.
Mu Wu was in deep thought. He vaguely felt that he had grasped the key point but he was still a little confused. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and shook his head at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan did not say a word. He walked to an ordinary pine tree at the side and used his finger like a sword to cut down the pine tree. Then, he pointed at the pine tree's growth ring and asked. "Now, do you understand …?"
Looking at the pine tree's growth ring, Mu Wu felt an explosion in his mind. He suddenly understood the things that he was confused about in the past.
Mu Wu heaved a long sigh and thanked Ning Fan sincerely. "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist!"
The path that Ning Fan pointed out to him was to be reserved …
The Dao Law that Mu Wu saw was like the marks on the pine tree's bark. The Dao Law that Ning Fan saw was the growth ring at the heart of the tree …
The cultivation of the Dao Law should not be exposed. Instead, it should be like the growth ring of the pine tree, hidden deep in one's heart and grow circles by circles from the inside out.
Verbal gratitude was not enough to express Mu Wu's gratitude. Of course, he also gave all the essence of the Builder Wood to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan kept the essence and bade farewell to Mu Wu. Then, he went to the Fourth Pine Forbidden Land with the others.
After explaining the purpose of their visit, the Fourth Pine Tree Spirit, Mu Si, appeared and displayed his Buddha Talisman in front of Ning Fan.
Mu Si's Buddha Talisman was different from the previous three tree spirits. It was also the pattern of a pine tree. However, there was an innocent little girl under the pine tree …
"My Buddha Talisman is not the strongest in the Wood Island, but it is different from the others …" Mu Si's eyes were cold and emotionless. As soon as the Buddha Talisman appeared, the Dao of Wood of the entire Wood Island deviated slightly.
Ning Fan's expression suddenly became serious. Mu Si's Buddha Talisman actually contained a trace of the power of the Wood Palm Position!
"This old man's understanding of the Dao of Wood for thousands of years can be summed up in one sentence. That is … plants are heartless …"
