The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1332

Chapter 1332: Chapter 1329: Pointing Out Chapter 1332: Chapter 1329: Pointing Out Bodhi Ancestor nodded to the disciples and his gaze lingered on Shen Luo for a moment before he began speaking,

“Today, I will not discuss the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, nor the cultivation of virtue and transformation, but instead speak of the wrong paths and false notions in the practice of the Yellow Court Sutra, so that in your future cultivation journey, you may take fewer detours.”

Upon hearing this, the disciples below the stage became somewhat restless, with many showing excitement on their faces.

Both Shen Luo and Fu Donglai, not knowing why, couldn't help but turn to a disciple beside them to inquire.

“You two must be new to the Inner Sect, not knowing that when the Ancestor lectures on the sutras, he seldom touches upon specific skills, speaking only of profound Daoist principles. If one possesses exceptional talent, they can naturally gain immense benefits, but we ordinary disciples often find these talks enshrouded in mist, incomprehensible. Today is a rare occasion when the Ancestor speaks directly of skills, which should not be missed,” explained the disciple, seeing that the two were unfamiliar faces and not minding too much.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo immediately understood that this lecture from Bodhi Ancestor might very well be intended for him.

He instantly took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and prepared to listen to the wonderful teachings.

“The way of all things reaches extreme transformations, the laws of all things are broadly carried out in development, emanating from the same source under different names, called the 'mysterious.' The mysterious of the mysterious, is the gate of all wonders…”

The moment Bodhi Ancestor's voice arose, Shen Luo was the first to be stunned.

“Isn't this the general outline of the Huangting Technique?” he thought to himself.

Standing behind Bodhi Ancestor, Jue Ming and Jue An heard this and couldn't help but show a change in their expressions.

The general content of the Yellow Court Sutra was always kept secret and not taught to anyone other than personal disciples. Today, for some unknown reason, Bodhi Ancestor was openly discussing it in front of everyone.

However, they soon dismissed their doubts.

Because Bodhi Ancestor had only mentioned the very first line, the rest of the content related to the outline was not entirely disclosed.

Most Inner Sect Disciples, making slow progress in the practice of the Huangting Technique, wouldn't naturally grasp the skill in its entirety, so when they suddenly heard this part of the outline, it stirred no waves in their hearts.

Shen Luo was familiar with the outline and didn't understand any deeper meaning at the moment.

“When you cultivate the Huangting Technique, you only know how to proceed steadily and step by step, yet you fail to penetrate the significance of the character 'change' contained within,” continued Bodhi Ancestor.

While everyone was still shrouded in mist, Shen Luo's gaze sharpened.

Of course, he knew when cultivating the Huangting Technique following the complete general outline, one could achieve the 72 Transformations, not only capable of infinite variations but also gaining immense strength.

Having obtained the outline of the Huangting Technique in the Dream World and self-determinedly comprehended the 72 Change,s Shen Luo had never been guided by a knowledgeable teacher, and his understanding of the Huangting Technique's ways of transformation was somewhat lacking. The words of the Bodhi Ancestor had captured his entire attention.

“The so-called transformation is crucially about the word 'dynamism.' To understand the Dao of transformation, one must comprehend the actions of the spirit…” Bodhi Ancestor kept elaborating on the key aspects of the Huangting Technique's Transformation Technique, leaving most people below with bewildered faces.

Yet Shen Luo listened with blooming joy, utterly immersed, his comprehension of the 72 Transformations deepening.

“What do you consider to be spirit, demon, fairy, and law?” After discussing the ways of transformation, Bodhi Ancestor suddenly shifted his tone, sweeping his gaze across the faces of the crowd as if asking.

For this, the disciples present naturally had a clear understanding, but they were puzzled why the Ancestor would pose such a question.

“The root of all things lies in the Dao; the basis of all things operates according to law. The transformations between celestial and demons are also governed by this principle,” Bodhi Ancestor went on to say.

Upon these words, Shen Luo, still immersed in the 72 Transformations, felt as if a heartstring had been suddenly plucked, and he looked up.

Previously, the Bodhi Ancestor had noticed an imbalance between the Demonic Qi of Chiyou and the Pure Yang Power within him.

His words now awakened Shen Luo; before, he had always sought to maintain a static balance between Chiyou's Demonic Qi and the Pure Yang Power, but every time he underwent the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation, Chiyou's Demonic Qi grew a bit stronger.

This static balance would eventually be broken.

But if one could know stillness and maintain dynamism, using Yin-Yang Dual Qi as a bridge to transform static balance into dynamic balance, then the side effects brought by the Xuan Yang Demon Transformation might be eliminated.

“But how can I initiate the circulation of Yin-Yang Dual Qi, transforming stillness into motion?” Shen Luo muttered to himself again in his heart.

After all, maintaining the balance within his body was already extremely difficult, and to have it operate smoothly without becoming unbalanced and out of control was even harder.

At this moment, the Bodhi Ancestor had shifted to discussing the Huan Ting Jing's Three-Star Demonic Extermination Technique.

“The sun is the day, the moon is the night, and the stars dwell among them, receiving the power of Yin and Yang. They possess tremendous might and can harness the power of the Three Stars to suppress evil demons. In reality, this also integrates the power of Yin and Yang.”

Shen Luo was overjoyed. The Bodhi Ancestor was not merely using the teachings as a hint for him, but was practically giving him clear guidance.

He subconsciously wanted to start practicing the Skills to try them out.

Just then, a voice from the Bodhi Ancestor suddenly resonated in his mind: “If you hadn't had an enlightenment, this old man would not have imparted such teachings. You should only listen up to this point. Go now, be bold and give it a try.”

As the voice faded, Shen Luo felt a sudden lightness in his body as if lifted by a cloud of white mist. His form gently ascended, and then just as gently descended.

When he came to his senses, he found himself in front of the thatched cottage on the mountain top of Mount Fangcun.

“Thank you, Elder,” Shen Luo silently expressed his gratitude, bowing from afar in the direction of the Square, knowing that the Bodhi Ancestor would surely hear him.

After that, he formed Magical Tactics with his hands while at the same time directing the Demonic Qi of Chiyou and the Pure Yang Power within his Dantian, operating the Huangting Technique, and changes began to occur around his body immediately…

The people on the Square had not noticed that Shen Luo's figure had disappeared and were intently listening to the Bodhi Ancestor's teachings, their faces occasionally reflecting deep thought.

Only Jue Ming and Jue An, standing behind the Ancestor, noticed a subtle change. They subconsciously turned to glance at the mountaintop, then resumed their original postures.

The teaching session did not last long. By the time the moon was high in the sky, all the disciples on the Square had dispersed.

Fu Donglai had received a message from the Bodhi Ancestor and had gone back to rest in his guest room.

Only two figures remained on the Square, yet to leave.

“The Ancestor suddenly started teaching today, which seemed somewhat different from usual,” Jue Ming said with a slight frown.

“He intended to enlighten that outsider monk,” Jue An said, smiling as he looked in the direction of the mountain peak which was obscured by clouds, making it impossible to see anything.

“Has the Ancestor considered taking that person as a Closed-door Disciple?” Jue Ming asked, puzzled.

“Whether he has or he hasn't, what difference does it make?” Jue An replied with a chuckle, shaking his head.

The next morning, Fu Donglai was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door. When he opened it, he saw Shen Luo standing outside with a smile on his face.

“Brother Shen, what's the matter so early in the morning?” Fu Donglai yawned and asked.

Last night's sermon, although he listened very intently, to the extent that he didn't even notice when Shen Luo had disappeared, he was just as clueless because he had never practiced the Huan Ting Jing before. After returning, he meditated and pondered until half the night, only falling asleep briefly before dawn.

“Let's go, it's time for us to leave,” Shen Luo said.

Although the Bodhi Ancestor had not specifically instructed him to keep their conversation a secret, Shen Luo still chose to withhold it from everyone for the time being.

“Leave? Are we not here to…” Upon hearing this, Fu Donglai began, a puzzled look on his face.

He had just started speaking when he was interrupted by a telepathic message from Shen Luo: “Elder Brother Fu, it seems we will need to leave Mount Fangcun and head to the Eastern Sea first.”

Fu Donglai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright.”

Their departure was as inconspicuous as their arrival, guided only by a little Daoist priest and without drawing any additional attention.

However, when they took off with the wind, on Mount Fangcun, Jue Ming, wearing a stern expression, slowly looked away…
