Tenth Heaven of the Lingwu Sacred Land.
"Mystical Power … It's actually a minor Mystical Power!" The Great Mystic Saint's eyes were extremely sharp, and his tone was very excited.
There were naturally Mystical Powers in the Great Mystic Saint Palace, but even though he was the Great Mystic Saint Son, he was not qualified to cultivate them now. The Heavy Mystic Force Field that time was already his limit.
Of course, he could cultivate the Mystical Powers in the Great Mystic Saint Palace sooner or later, but he still needed time.
He did not expect to pass the test in the Tenth Heaven of the Lingwu Sacred Land and receive a minor Mystical Power.
Mystical Powers were rare and precious.
The Great Mystic Saint Palace was the number one force in the Great Mystic Realm, but even they did not have many Mystical Powers.
According to what the Great Mystic Saint Son knew, there were only two minor Mystical Powers. As for major Mystical Powers, they were legends.
In addition, the more Mystical Powers that could be cultivated, the better.
Moreover, the minor Mystical Powers that he received this time could be directly initiated, saving him a lot of hard work.
Once initiated, he could display amazing power.
The Great Mystic Saint Son had gained something, and so did the others.
In the First Heaven, Chen Zong was still comprehending.
Dragon and snake!
Water and fire!
Now it was the sun and moon!
Since ancient times, the sun and moon had always alternated, like the rotation of day and night, like the alternation of the four seasons.
But in this 24 Dragon and Snake Diagram, the sun and moon shone together.
But there were dragons and snakes, hardness and softness, water and fire mixed, and the sun and moon shone together. It was nothing.
The mystery was in it.
The first and second levels were the foundation, and helped to comprehend the third level of the Sun and Moon Realm.
Practicing the sword was a very good way to comprehend.
In the past, different peerless prodigies comprehended the opportunities of the First Heaven in different ways, and the final results were also different.
For example, Chen Zong mainly cultivated the sword, and comprehended with the sword, which was more efficient. And the final comprehension was closely related to the sword, directly or indirectly increasing the potential and power of the sword.
Outside the straw hut, Chen Zong practiced the sword, comprehending with the sword.
Sword light rose like dragons and snakes dancing, and water and fire mixed together.
Dragon, snake, water, fire …
Every sword strike was both hard and soft, violent and soft.
Soon after, a sword rose. It was as if a fire dragon was dancing in the air. His body coiled up and transformed into a blazing sun that emitted shocking light and heat.
The sun hung high in the sky!
The great sun descended, and the second sword rose, transforming into a crescent moon that hung in the sky.
Practicing the sword!
The Great Sun and the Serene Moon condensed and hung in the sky, reflecting each other's brilliance.
Sun and Moon shine together!
Chen Zong entered the thatched hut and opened the Twenty-four Dragon-Snake Diagrams. The mysteries of the last eight diagrams immediately rushed into his mind and penetrated deep into his soul.
Chen Zong sank his consciousness into the Divine Sea.
The Divine Sea was vast and boundless, as if it was a world of its own.
The Deity Ocean was not empty. It was as if several kinds of Dao Wills were manifested in the Deity Ocean, each in a different direction.
Soon after, a dragon and a snake condensed, one above and one below. Then, water rushed over and fire burned in the air, surrounding the dragon and snake.
A huge sun quietly appeared, occupying the eastern part of the Divine Sea, illuminating the flames and the Heavenly Dragon. A dim moon slowly condensed, occupying the western part of the Divine Sea, soaking in the flowing water and the Earth Serpent.
He had comprehended all twenty-four Dragon-Snake Diagrams.
However, he had not fully comprehended them yet. He needed to spend a lot of time and energy to comprehend them.
Chen Zong felt that this might not be inferior to the benefits that the Heart Sword Seal had brought him.
The Heart Sword Seal had allowed him to embark on the true path of cultivation and rise from insignificance. The Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams, on the other hand, would allow him to continue on the path of cultivation, pursue a stronger path, and see more mysteries.
Chen Zong could not help but exhale a long breath.
This fortuitous encounter was not bad at all.
If the other Nine Heavens' opportunities were better than his, Chen Zong could not imagine what kind of opportunity it would be.
In fact, Chen Zong did not know that the opportunities in the Ten Heavens of the Lingwu Sacred Land were about the same.
The difference was in one's ability.
For example, in the First Heaven, if one left after comprehending the Dragon-Snake Realm, then the opportunity would be the worst. It could not be compared to the opportunities in the Nine Heavens.
If one could comprehend the Fire Water Realm, then it would be comparable to the opportunities in the middle Heavens.
And if one could comprehend the Sun Moon Realm, then it would be comparable to the opportunities in the Nine Heavens.
Without a doubt, the opportunities in the Tenth Heaven were the best. As for the opportunities in the Nine Heavens below the Tenth Heaven, although there were differences, the differences were not big.
Since ancient times, there were very, very few who could comprehend all three levels in the First Heaven and obtain all twenty-four Dragon-Snake Diagrams. Even if there were, it was in a very distant era, more than ten thousand years from now.
Most of them only obtained the first level of the Dragon-Snake Realm. Therefore, it was said that the opportunities in the First Heaven were the worst.
But Chen Zong did not know this.
He only felt that the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams would be of great help to his future cultivation.
Having obtained the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams, Chen Zong could choose to leave the Lingwu Sacred Land. However, Chen Zong was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed here and continued to comprehend.
Obtaining the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams could only be considered as a beginner. He still needed to spend a lot of time and energy to deepen his comprehension and comprehend more mysteries for his own use.
This place was very suitable for him to comprehend.
He could use the method of sword practice to comprehend, perfect, and improve his own swordsmanship.
Dragon-Snake!
Water and Fire!
Sun and Moon!
These were the three levels, which were also the three realms.
Here, the sun did not rise and the moon did not set. There was no alternation between day and night. It was difficult to feel the passage of time.
Chen Zong forgot everything else and was completely immersed in the comprehension of the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams.
Every time he practiced the sword, every time he comprehended, he gained something. Gradually, Chen Zong felt that there was no difference between the three levels of Dragon-Snake, Water and Fire, Sun and Moon. The three levels were of the same level, but the emphasis was different.
However, Chen Zong also felt that the three levels were similar in some way. There seemed to be something in common.
The similarity seemed to be the true essence of the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams. It was the deepest mystery of the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams.
Of course, it did not mean that the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams were useless. On the contrary, it was very useful. At least, after continuous comprehension, Chen Zong felt that his swordsmanship had improved significantly. His attainments in swordsmanship were more profound, and his accumulation was more vigorous.
The essence and mystery hidden under the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams was like an extension.
If he could not fully comprehend it, he could still comprehend and cultivate the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams without any influence. If he could fully comprehend it, he could gain even more.
But since he knew that there were more profound mysteries hidden in it, Chen Zong naturally would not let it go.
"The deepest mysteries are closely related to Dragon-Snake, Water and Fire, Sun and Moon," Chen Zong thought to himself.
The sword was moving, and so was the heart. Traces of mysteries were constantly appearing and being captured by Chen Zong.
Dragon-Snake!
Water and Fire!
Sun and Moon!
What were the similarities?
It was a point, a point that fit the three. Chen Zong had a feeling that that point was the core of everything, and it was where the mystery of the Twenty-Four Dragon-Snake Diagrams lay.
Sometimes, if you did not fully comprehend it, you would be at a loss, as if you were in the clouds and fog. But if you fully comprehended it, you would be able to see the moon through the clouds and fog.
Now, Chen Zong was in the process of dispelling the fog. But he kept exerting force, he could not dispel the fog. Instead, the fog kept surging.
"The dragon in the sky is the strongest and strongest. The snake on the ground is the softest and purest."
"The fire is fierce and violent, and the water is endless."
"The sun is grand and upright, and the moon is cold and tranquil."
Chen Zong was lost in thought.
In the Divine Sea, dragons and snakes danced, water and fire circled, and the sun and moon alternated, deducing the mysterious mysteries.
It was mysterious, immeasurable, and boundless.
"What is the mystery?" Chen Zong became more and more immersed in it. He had the spirit of not giving up until he understood it. He pressed forward and never looked back.
His belief was firm. It was the only way, the purest, and the most sincere way.
Everyone was working hard. No matter what opportunity they got in each Level of Heaven, they had to work hard to comprehend it, strive to master more, and improve themselves.
This kind of opportunity only came once in a thousand years. If they grasped it, it would be of great benefit to their future cultivation.
The Taixuan Saint was proud, but he would not be complacent. He knew that he was very talented, but he would not think that he was invincible. Because his goal was not to be a peer, but to surpass his predecessors.
To surpass others, empty words were useless. He had to work hard, do his best, and keep cultivating, striving, and improving.
If he did not work hard, he would be surpassed no matter how talented he was.
Cultivation was cruel. You would never be treated better because of your talent. If you did not work hard, you would eventually be eliminated.
In the thatched hut on the island in the center of the lake in the first Level of the Lingwu Sacred Land, Chen Zong sat cross-legged on a futon made of dried grass. This futon helped him to calm down and concentrate, and it was also helpful for him to comprehend all the mysteries.
Sitting like this, Chen Zong did not know how much time had passed.
Dragon and snake!
Water and fire!
Sun and moon!
The three mysteries emerged and bloomed in his Spirit Sea. His comprehension deepened.
Countless insights emerged, but they were all eliminated by Chen Zong. Because under Chen Zong's superb comprehension, he found that those were not the deepest mysteries contained in the 24 Dragons and Snakes Portrait.
It was like looking for a speck of sand in a desert. It was very difficult, but Chen Zong worked tirelessly.
This feeling of searching for the mysteries was very wonderful and intoxicating.
After that, a trace of understanding surged into Chen Zong's mind, and his heart throbbed intensely.
This throbbing was not fear or panic, but excitement. It seemed to indicate that he had found the right direction.
Dragon and snake, fire and water, sun and moon!
Dragon, fire and sun!
Snake, water and moon!
The sun was Yang, and the fire was fierce and violent. It was also Yang. The dragon in the sky was noble and domineering. It was also Yang.
The dragon, fire and sun were Yang.
On the other hand, the snake, water and moon were Yin.
The deepest mysteries contained in the 24 Dragons and Snakes Portrait were Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang were the principles of heaven and earth.
But it gave Chen Zong a feeling that it was so high and difficult to reach.
Chen Zong had never thought of comprehending the so-called mysteries of Yin and Yang. The level was too high, much higher than his current level, and it was not something he could comprehend.
But he did not expect that the opportunity obtained here would let him come into contact with the profound mysteries of Yin and Yang.
As for the cultivation methods and martial arts with the meaning of Yin and Yang that he knew in the past, they were only a little close, so they were called that. They were far from the real mysteries of Yin and Yang.
But at this moment, Chen Zong could be sure that the deepest mysteries of the 24 Dragons and Snakes Portrait were Yin and Yang.
