Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 497: Chapter 2 Dao of Dharmas_1

“Wanxiang Sect?”

Wang Ba murmured the name.

The name itself was neither novel nor impressive. Among the many sects Wang Ba had come across, it seemed rather ordinary.

But within Wang Ba’s heart, a strange premonition inexplicably arose.

This name, this place, might perhaps accompany him for a very long time in the coming years.

Yao Wudi, unaware of Wang Ba’s subtle feelings, continued to explain:

“The Wanxiang Sect is huge, occupying tens of thousands of miles, with countless high-class Cultivators, so powerful that one sect is essentially a country.”

“As long as you do not violate the rules in Jin, with the identity of a disciple of the Wanxiang Sect, you will be received with courtesy wherever you go.”

“Our sect has excellent relationships with the Longevity Sect, Youxian Temple, and the royal family of Jin, being among brotherly sects.”

“And it is precisely because several major sects in Jin maintain harmony, that Jin’s overall strength stands at the forefront throughout the Fenglin Continent, even among the Nine Continents.”

Wang Ba was somewhat surprised.

This was slightly different from what he had imagined.

Based on his experiences over the years, even the most harmonious sects often held secret grudges and schemes.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Just like the three major sects in Yan State, they initially gave an illusion of advancing and retreating together, sharing life and death.

But in reality, they were plotting against each other in secret.

As a participant in these matters, Wang Ba was quite aware of this.

Nevertheless, judging from Yao Wudi’s tone, this seemed to be the case.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ba did not ask further.

Meanwhile, Yao Wudi continued:

“The Sect has two palaces, three temples, four mountains, five divisions, and ten thousand peaks. You will gradually understand these after joining the Sect, so I won’t elaborate further right now.”

“Let me talk about cultivation-related matters within the Sect.”

“Our Wanxiang Sect adheres to the concept that all things in heaven and earth are Dao, hence the diverse directions of cultivation within the sect are unparalleled throughout the Nine Continents.”

“I previously mentioned ‘ten thousand peaks’, referring to a system within the Sect. Each peak represents a lineage, each lineage is a unique heritage, and currently, there are as many as ten thousand peaks within the Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but gape in astonishment.

Ten thousand peaks, doesn’t this mean there are ten thousand Dao of Cultivation?

“The paths you have encountered, such as physical refining, Qi Refining, Soul Refining, and even Talisman Cultivator, Array Cultivator, etc… all can lead to the Dao.”

Yao Wudi sighed:

“However, there are no longer sufficient resources in the outside world to support these odd and ancient paths of cultivation, thus most of them have already died out. Only our Wanxiang Sect still preserves them.”

“The ‘Dao of Dharmas’ pursued by my lineage is one of these rare heritages.”

Wang Ba immediately perked up his ears, knowing that Yao Wudi was about to discuss the main issue.

Tang Ji, who was at the side, also grew more serious.

Within the Wanxiang Sect, there are countless bizarre ways of cultivation, even he does not know them all.

Although he has heard about the Dao of Dharmas, because it does not belong to the Hundred Arts category, and it has nothing to do with his responsibilities, and because there is only Senior Brother Yao in this lineage, he naturally did not seek to understand more.

Now, after witnessing the unimaginable power of Senior Brother Yao, he was also a bit curious.

As Yao Wudi discussed his direction of cultivation, a hint of pride couldn’t help but appear on his face:

“The Dao of Dharmas, as the name suggests, is about mastering all Dharmas under heaven, nothing is unknown, nothing is mediocre.”

“Only in this way, can one achieve the realm of ‘All Dharmas Are Me, All Dharmas Are None’, and from then on, few can match me among peers!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but express his doubts:

“But Master, there are countless cultivation methods in the world, and a person’s energy is ultimately limited, how can one master them all?”

Hearing Wang Ba’s doubt, Yao Wudi glanced at Tang Ji beside him and said:

“For this, why not let your Martial Uncle Tang explain it.”

Tang Ji was taken aback, but he didn’t decline and pondered:

“Then I’ll express my thoughts. I think, regardless of how profound and complex all Dharmas under heaven are, in the final analysis, they still fall under Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, Wind, Snow, Thunder, and Lightning.”

“This is what is meant by ‘The Dao produced One, One produced Two, Two produced Three, Three produced All Things.’

“As long as you master these essential things, naturally you can comprehend one law to understand all laws.”

“The Dao of Dharmas should mostly operate on this principle, right?”

After speaking, he looked at Yao Wudi:

“Senior Brother, is what I said correct?”

But Yao Wudi looked at Wang Ba with a smile on his face, saying:

“My good disciple, what do you think?”

Wang Ba nodded at first, then thought about the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse he had learned and couldn’t help but frown:

“What Martial Uncle Tang said makes sense, but… for example, which category should the path of curses belong to?”

He had personally deployed curses but could not feel that they had anything to do with the Five Elements or properties such as wind and thunder.

Tang Ji was a bit stunned when he heard this.

“The path of curses… that…”

This was something he hadn’t thought of.

But when Yao Wudi heard Wang Ba’s question, he couldn’t help but laugh with satisfaction:

“Good, you’re much sharper than your Martial Uncle Tang!”

Tang Ji’s face immediately darkened.

Fucking, he knew his senior brother was pleased with the new disciple, but there was no need to step on him like that.

He couldn’t help but grumble: “Senior Brother, it’s better to speak directly, why beat around the bush!”

However, Yao Wudi didn’t care whether Tang Ji was happy or not, he carefully explained to Wang Ba:

“The path of curses is vast and profound, and it is a major path not inferior to Qi refining; and its foundation, strictly speaking, is largely related to the ‘Soul’. Of course, there are also some curses that involve Yin and Yang transformations, and even beyond this world. If you can explore their fundamental nature, you might also be able to incorporate them into the scope of the Dao of Dharmas.”
