Jiang Nan was in a daze as he recalled his experiences since he was a child. From his ignorance when he was born, his parents' kindness in raising him, his innocence when he was a child, learning how to read, enjoying the joy of his parents, and playing with his siblings. Then, the world changed drastically. Middle Earth was destroyed and demons rampaged. His home was destroyed and his relatives died tragically. He crawled among pools of blood and corpses and became a slave at the King of Qi Manor, secretly learning martial arts.
Then, he met Big Sister Jiang Xue, who taught him painstakingly and led him into a wonderful world where he became a cultivator.
After that, he joined the Sage Sect and went through life and death trials. He went through unimaginable experiences, tribulations, and great joys. He went from a small cultivator to the leader of the Sage Sect.
"What's going on in my heart? What's keeping me going? What's my driving force? "
Jiang Nan asked himself. Was it to take revenge on the two gods who destroyed his home? Was it to follow in Big Sister Jiang Xue's footsteps and stand by her side again? Was it to revitalize the Sage Sect and let it flourish?
These were all the driving forces that kept him going. However, they were only part of his pursuit and not his true heart.
His true heart, Big Sister Jiang Xue had once said, was ambition and desire!
The greater the ability, the greater the ambition, and the stronger the desire!
The greater the ambition, the stronger the desire, and the stronger the ability!
Without ambition and desire, one would be stuck in a rut and would not think of moving forward!
In ancient times, humans would only think of flying freely when they saw the birds in the sky. That was why they created all kinds of wonderful divine abilities to allow themselves to soar in the sky. They saw the powerful physique of demonic beasts that could move mountains and fill the seas. That was why they opened up physical techniques to strengthen themselves!
They saw birth, old age, sickness, and death, and thought of immortality!
Desire and ambition were the driving forces that supported the cultivation civilization and the continuous development of divine abilities and cultivation techniques!
Jiang Nan gazed at his own heart and discovered the true nature of his heart from all the distracting thoughts that clouded his heart. That was desire and ambition!
And to realize desire and ambition, it was in accordance with the opening words of the Devil Hell Dark Embryo Sutra: The ancestors are not the law, and the Heavenly Dao is not to be feared!
Fear was the biggest obstacle to realizing one's desires and ambitions!
Fear of enemies, fear of opponents, fear of difficulties, fear of obstacles, fear of human relationships, fear of people's words, fear of ancestors, fear of the Heavenly Dao, there were too many things to fear in this world!
"Fearless!"
Jiang Nan suddenly said in a low voice, "Knowing and doing as one, fearless and fearless, this is my path!"
Although he understood this principle, it was still very difficult to achieve. Although Jiang Nan had found the foundation to support his state of mind, he was still in the realm of knowing and doing as one. He had not truly achieved the true meaning of knowing and doing as one.
The true unity of knowledge and action would require people like Daoist Hong Wu to turn the determination and Dao heart in their hearts into their own mystical abilities. A Desolate Ancient Seal would be magnanimous. The person would be like the Desolate Ancient Sacred Mountain while the seal would be like the Desolate Ancient Sacred Mountain.
Xi Yingqing could not bear to part with his friends and relatives, the Sage Sect, and his wife and children. Amidst his reluctance, he created the Heavenly Art of Reluctance.
Taihuang Laozu abandoned his emotions and desires, killed his wife to show his determination, and severed the last worries and reluctance in his heart. He saw everything as a tool and created the Xuandu Unruffled Heavenly Book.
These were all manifestations of the unity of knowledge and action.
Now, although Jiang Nan had comprehended that point, he wanted to turn his fearlessness into a mystical ability, a cultivation technique, and his every move. That was the true unity of knowledge and action!
As for the unity of heaven and man, that was an even higher realm. The Heavenly Heart was his heart, and the Heavenly Dao was his Dao. Such a state of mind was difficult to find since ancient times. Even God Emperor might not be able to reach this realm!
"Fearless, Fearless, Seal of Fearless!"
Slowly, the Dark Fetus Golden Man in between Jiang Nan's eyebrows was forming a mystical seal. He was trying to create a mystical ability based on his knowledge and actions, and the external manifestation of knowledge was the Seal of Fearless!
He wanted to create a divine ability, and he wanted to display the fearlessness, desire, and ambition in his heart in this seal. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to achieve this!
"The Seal of Fearless is only the first step of unity of knowledge and action. Only by creating the Seal of Fearless can I be considered to be on the same level as Daoist Hong Wu's state of mind, but there is still a long way to go."
His Dark Fetus was constantly deducing the Seal of Fearless while he was communicating with Shao Tianya. He was very interested in Shao Tianya's Nine Transformation Battle Physique, and Shao Tianya was also very interested in his Dark Fetus Seal and Source Seal.
The two of them were not people who were stuck in a rut, and after communicating with each other, they both gained a lot. The Nine Transformation Battle Physique was even more brilliant than the Zhang Sixteen Physique. Nine transformations of the mortal body, nine transformations of the magic power, and nine transformations of the divine sense — it was incomparably tyrannical. In addition, the Dark Fetus Seal and Source Seal could provide fifteen times the qi and blood. Just thinking about it was terrifying!
However, these three cultivation techniques could not be completely compatible with each other. Jiang Nan experimented and found that when he activated the Dark Fetus Seal and Source Seal at the same time, he could only make his mortal body go through two transformations. He had already reached his limit and could not continue to improve it.
Shao Tianya also began to experiment. After he displayed the Nine Transformation Battle Physique, he could only increase his qi and blood by two or three times. If he continued to improve it, his mortal body, spirit, and magic power would all explode from the qi and blood!
Even so, the strength of the two of them had more than doubled, and both of them were happy!
Chu Yun City was extremely far from the Great Wilderness. The two of them drove the ship and flew for more than twenty days before they arrived at this sacred city. At this time, the Slaves War Competition in Chu Yun City was already in progress.
This Chu Yun City was not smaller than the Ancient Sacred City of the Ancients. Looking from afar, Jiang Nan felt that Chu Yun City was slightly inferior to the Ancient Sacred City of the Ancients. Although this city in the sky was also extremely magnificent and vast, it also lacked the baptism of blood.
One must know that the Ancient Sacred City of the Ancients had stood in the world for millions of years and had experienced five generations of God Emperor. It had even participated in the battle for the throne. It was unknown how many gods and demons had died under the crushing pressure of this sacred city, and their divine blood had seeped into the city walls and streets.
Chu Yun City was refined by the Divine God Chu Yun. Although the Divine God Chu Yun was also extremely powerful, he was, after all, inexperienced and had not experienced such a tragic battle for the throne.
Moo —
A loud and clear roar was heard. Jiang Nan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few green oxen as majestic as mountains pulling a treasured ship Slowly drove into the city. Suddenly, colorful clouds flew over. One by one, beautiful women rode on the colorful clouds and floated in pursuit. They also landed in the city. There were also people riding on the ancient divine beast Suan Ni, galloping over.
This sacred city was very lively. Experts from the various holy lands and families in Middle Heaven came in an endless stream.
Shao Tianya drove the ship to land in the city. Then, he put away the ship and smiled at Jiang Nan. "Daoist Jiang, Chu Yun City used to be even more lively than it is now. At that time, the Celestial Being Passage was still unobstructed. Even some giants from the Immortal Realm would often come. The Divine God Chu Yun appeared more than once, and every time he appeared, it would cause a great commotion!"
Jiang Nan nodded. The Divine God was a giant in the Immortal Realm. Such a figure was already a legend. His appearance here would naturally cause a great commotion.
"Look, Fairy Xuan Wei is here!"
Suddenly, the crowd surged and everyone was in an uproar. Someone shouted loudly. Jiang Nan looked towards the source of the voice. Before he could see anyone, he heard the crisp sound of jade beads hitting each other. It was melodious and pleasing to the ear. Then, a fragrance floated in the air, clouds bloomed, and a breeze blew. A few horned deer hooves stomped in the void, pulling a treasured carriage over.
The carriage moved, and the bead curtains swayed slightly. Another hundred beautiful young girls held swords in their hands and escorted the carriage into the city. However, Fairy Xuan Wei was nowhere to be seen.
A bald burly man chuckled and said, "Fairy Xuan Wei is the most beautiful woman in the world. If I can sleep with her once, my life will be worth it!"
Boom!
Thousands of treasures suddenly appeared in the sky. There were bells, cauldrons, pagodas, books, swords, zither, chess, and many other treasures. There were also countless mystical abilities. They densely bombarded the bald burly man, smashing him to the ground and almost killing him on the spot!
"How dare you insult my fairy. If we weren't in Chu Yun City, I would have killed you long ago!"
"That's right! Fairy Xuan Wei is pure and clean. She is this old monk's dream lover. I won't allow you to profane her! "
"Tsk! That monk, how dare you snatch my dream lover from me. Eat my brick! "
…
Jiang Nan was stunned. He saw the experts in the city making a ruckus, and he asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Shao, who is this Fairy Xuan Wei?"
Shao Tianya smiled and said, "Fairy Xuan Wei's surname is Si, and she is the beloved daughter of the Si Clan of the Northern Desert. The Northern Desert City is also a sacred ground that is not inferior to our Ancient Sacred City. Although this Ti Xuanwei is a woman, you shouldn't underestimate her. Among the younger generation, she is also an amazing expert, not inferior to you and me! "
Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat. Since Shao Tianya said that she was not inferior to them, then it must be so. For a woman to have such powerful combat strength, it was indeed not a small matter!
Suddenly, the sound of iron chains rattling could be heard. Two barefooted giants were wrapped in chains, dragging a huge battleship as they ran over from afar.
These two giants were at the level of a sect master. Their physical bodies were extremely strong, and many Dao patterns could even be seen on the surface of their skin. They had clearly refined the Dao patterns into their flesh and skin!
Even some of the sect masters of the Xuanming Primordial Realm might not be able to do this. Yet, these two great experts were actually willing to be someone else's yoke and pull a warship for someone else!
The two giants pulled the warship into Chu Yun City, and a young man lightly got off the warship. As soon as he walked down the bow, everyone immediately felt a boundless killing intent. It was as if they had arrived at a battlefield of gods and demons, with millions of corpses of gods and demons everywhere, and countless corpses of gods floating!
"What a strong killing intent."
Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes, and Shao Tianya said in a low voice, "Young Master Wudao of the Blood God Tower naturally has a strong killing intent."
Suddenly, the sky was filled with Buddhist light, and a mighty Buddhist voice was heard. Golden Buddhas appeared in midair, and among them, a young monk with delicate features walked over, bathed in holy light as he walked into the city.
"That's the little holy monk of the Fo Guang Temple, Holy Monk Tan Zhi. He's also an expert."
Shao Tianya smiled and said, "These guys are very high-profile. I'm afraid that this time, they will also personally participate in the battle to test their strength. Fellow Daoist, let's go to the viewing platform to take a look. "
Jiang Nan nodded, and the two of them went to the viewing platform. The viewing platform here was also different from the others. It was a mystic realm, and the mystic realm was shrouded in clouds, making it impossible to see who exactly was inside.
As long as one had money, they could book a mystic realm and watch the battle. Below, there was a huge golden plate, and the plate was covered with a layer of fine golden sand. The golden sand was also not ordinary. At this moment, the golden sand was being activated by someone, turning into the size of a planet. On one of the golden sand, there were war slaves fighting.
One of them was a terrifyingly fat Daoist!
