Chapter 190: Chapter 189 The Ultimate Principles of Dao

"Heaven and Earth possess righteous Qi, variedly endowed in all forms."

"Below, it shapes rivers and mountains, above, it forms the sun and stars."

"Among people, it’s called ’Vast Qi,’ permeating and filling the vast obscurity ..."

As soon as Ye Xuan began to speak, he immediately captivated the more than five hundred disciples present, who listened with rapt fascination.

"Vast Qi" is an absolutely fundamental cultivation technique, yet it encompasses multitude.

When Ye Xuan created this technique, he infused the principle of simplicity in the Dao into it.

The Dao embodies ultimate simplicity, which emphasizes a return to the original purity and truth.

A wisp of Vast Qi, a joyful wind across a thousand miles!

What is Dao?

Man follows the Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Dao, the Dao follows nature.

The Dao gives birth to one, one births two, two birth three, three birth all things.

All things under nature are thus the Dao.

This is the supreme truth recorded within "Vast Qi".

Unfortunately, many great Sects have disregarded it.

Including the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect which defeated the Emperor Immortal Sect back in the day, they too did not hold "Vast Qi" in high regard.

Only under Ye Xuan’s lecture did the disciples present truly come into contact with the essence of "Vast Qi".

What was originally perceived as a superficial foundational cultivation technique now seemed so mystical and extraordinary, filled with magnificent momentum.

Ye Xuan lectured, from simple to complex and back to simple, weaving his words effortlessly, enrapturing his audience.

Some passing Hall Masters and protectors, who initially only planned to have a look, found themselves unable to pull away after hearing Ye Xuan’s lecture and unconsciously stopped to listen.

After hearing Ye Xuan’s lecture, they realized that this basic cultivation technique, which many viewed with disdain, was in fact superior to many top-tier techniques!

How could they know?

"Vast Qi" was personally created by Ye Xuan, who spent long years exploring it, and perfected it through discussions with countless Great Emperors.

Since ancient times, only those peerless beings were able to cultivate this miraculous technique.

The reason Emperor Immortal Sect possessed such a technique was due to the utmost loyalty of Lie Tian Great Emperor towards Ye Xuan, who even risked his life, leading people like the Xuanyuan Sword Emperor to penetrate into the Emperor’s Burial Ground.

It was for this reason that Ye Xuan left this miraculous technique behind at the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately, nobody in the Emperor Immortal Sect managed to develop this technique to its full potential.

Until today, had it not been for Ye Xuan’s lecture, the "Vast Qi" might still remain an undiscovered gem.

After Ye Xuan finished lecturing, the many disciples found themselves struggling to snap out of their trance, feeling as though they hadn’t had enough.

The lecture today completely opened a new world to them, exposing them to wonders they had never before seen.

They found it hard to imagine how Ye Xuan could speak so eloquently about such a ’superficial’ foundational cultivation technique.

It was as if Ye Xuan himself possessed the power to turn the decay into magic!

This power inspired heartfelt admiration.

"Go back and reflect on it," Ye Xuan said after finishing the lecture, waiting until everyone gradually came back to their senses before speaking.

"That’s it?"

Only then did some feel surprised.

They felt like hardly any time had passed, and it was over?

"It seems, three days have passed ..." someone said uncertainly.

"Indeed, three days have passed!" A Hall Master who had come later looked at Ye Xuan with admiration and said in awe, "Ye Xuan’s understanding of the Dao is far beyond our comprehension. Being able to hear his lecture is our honor!"

"Yes!" agreed a protector, unable to help sighing as well.

Who would have thought that Ye Xuan, who was still a fool of a son-in-law three months ago, could achieve such a magnificent transformation in such a short period.

It was utterly bewildering.

Nevertheless, after encountering Ye Xuan, they felt as if all of this somehow made sense.

Because he is Ye Xuan, everything he does seems to be right.

This feeling was the most terrifying of all!

"We, respectfully see off our Chief Senior Brother!"

All the disciples stood up and respectfully bowed to Ye Xuan.

This call surprised even the disciples themselves.

"What’s happening?!"

"Why are there so many people?!"

The five hundred disciples who first arrived at the Lie Tian Daoist Platform were all taken aback.

Surrounding them was a sea of people, a veritable mountain of humanity. Were there not over ten thousand disciples here? There must be forty or fifty thousand!

Altogether, the Inner Sect’s Nine Peaks had a full hundred thousand disciples.

That is to say, this Daoist lecture had attracted over half the number of disciples!

What an amazing spectacle this was!

Even when Leng Yifan had given a lecture in the past, it couldn’t compare to this!

Not to mention Leng Yifan, I fear that even a Supreme Elder’s lecture would not have attracted this many people.

It was recorded that the most attended lecture in the last three thousand years of the Emperor Immortal Sect took place fifty years ago, when Zhou Zihuang was still the Chief Disciple.

On that occasion, Zhou Zihuang, as the Chief Disciple, drew thirty thousand disciples from the Inner Sect to his lecture.

But Zhou Zihuang’s situation was different from Ye Xuan’s because Zhou Zihuang had been known as a genius from a very young age and was already famous.

Whereas Ye Xuan had transformed from a foolish son-in-law to the Chief Disciple, even though he demonstrated great strength.

However, the only people who truly believed in Ye Xuan were the three hundred who went with him to the exchange conference.

After this lecture, Ye Xuan completely consolidated his status within the Emperor Immortal Sect!

Not just the ordinary disciples, but also Hall Masters and protectors were deeply moved by Ye Xuan’s lecture.

"Hmm," Ye Xuan accepted the salutes from the crowd with composure.

His reason for lecturing was not to gain these people’s approval; he simply wanted to ensure the disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect built a solid foundation.

The rise of a Sect is heavily dependent on its disciples.

After all, they will always become the pillars of a Sect.

If those pillars are weak, the entire Sect would collapse.

Over three consecutive days of lectures, Ye Xuan imparted the truths of the ’Vast Qi’ Dao to everyone.

As for how much these fellows could comprehend, that was a matter of their own talent.

Ye Xuan left the Lie Tian Daoist Platform alone and returned to Emperor Peak.

For the next ten days, it was time for Ye Xuan to cultivate.

During the three days of lecturing, he felt that his Primal Hongmeng Daoist Platform had absorbed a multitude of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Next, he would begin condensing the second Primal Hongmeng Daoist Platform.

Once nine Daoist Platforms were perfectly condensed, Ye Xuan would step into the Peak of the Daoist Platform Realm.

However, the realms below Earth Element mainly focus on laying the foundation, and their true strength isn’t very strong.

Of course, that was how Ye Xuan saw it.

In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to step into the Daoist Platform Realm at the age of sixteen definitely marked one as a young genius.

The potential for the future was not small either.

But in reality, Ye Xuan had only begun earnest Cultivation three months ago.

Before his soul returned, Ye Xuan had not a trace of cultivation.

But now, Ye Xuan was already at the First Layer of the Daoist Platform.

And he was about to step into the Second Layer of the Daoist Platform imminently.

"Ye Xuan!"

When Ye Xuan returned to Emperor Peak, Zhou Bingyi came running up, furious.

"Hmm?" Seeing that it was his sister-in-law, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile, "What’s the matter?"

"You, you went off to give a lecture and didn’t even call me!" Zhou Bingyi glared at Ye Xuan, with anger in her voice.

So that was it.

"I told your sister about it; I thought she would have called you," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"Then can you perhaps give me the lecture again now?" Zhou Bingyi looked at Ye Xuan with a pitiful and hopeful expression.

"Why do you suddenly want to hear my lecture?" Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Bingyi with an amused glance.

"That’s because..." Zhou Bingyi instinctively began to speak but then stopped herself.

She couldn’t exactly say that it was because she missed it while Cultivating and only found out after emerging from seclusion that during Ye Xuan’s lecture, more than fifty thousand disciples had listened intently, and everyone said that Ye Xuan’s lecture was like that of an Immortal King discussing the Dao, truly awe-inspiring.

"Just give me one lecture, please?" Zhou Bingyi pleaded cutely, looking quite adorable.

Ye Xuan, however, was not swayed, shaking his head, "I have to go back and cultivate, no time."

"How about this, let’s make a deal," Zhou Bingyi, seeing Ye Xuan unwilling and feeling frustrated but still smiling, said.

"Let’s hear it," said Ye Xuan, intrigued.

"You give me a personal lecture, and I’ll take you to the place where my sister usually bathes. Only she, my mother, and I know about this place!" Zhou Bingyi blinked playfully as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face immediately darkened as he chided, "What do you take your brother-in-law for?"

Zhou Bingyi was taken aback by the scolding and huffed in response, "Fine, forget it. There’s no need to be so fierce!"

"No, I mean, let’s go," Ye Xuan said as he stroked his chin, a smile creeping onto his face.
