Chapter 130

"That's right, cultivation novels... ahem, I mean classics, cultivation classics record that the forehead Sea of Consciousness is the core of a cultivator's divine sense power."

"Legend has it that all secret methods of rebirth through possession are carried out in the Sea of Consciousness."

"Damage to the Sea of Consciousness will also cause the cultivator's death."

"Therefore, techniques with powerful divine sense have always been rare in the cultivation world and existences that cause bloody storms whenever they appear."

"Cultivating special divine sense techniques will condense all kinds of wonders on the forehead."

"It is both an attack method and a defense method for the Sea of Consciousness."

Keqing and the others were enlightened, and didn't think much more about it.

But Alice said again:

"Of course, many novels have also written that those with special patterns on their foreheads are generally peerless prodigies."

Jiang Yan looked at Alice with a dumbfounded expression.

The thought that was finally corrected was skewed by her again.

Seeing Keqing and the others' eyes becoming hot again, Jiang Yan nodded helplessly.

"Alice's statement is not entirely accurate, but most people with excellent physiques do have special patterns on their foreheads."

"This is for the innate physique to protect its own Sea of Consciousness."

Everyone silently looked at the mysterious purple-gold rune on Jiang Yan's forehead.

After a long while, Ganyu muttered:

"Sect Master, you seem to have never said what special physique you have."

Jiang Yan was stunned and asked in surprise:

"You really want to know?"

Everyone nodded in unison.

Everyone's curiosity about Jiang Yan's physique was planted in their bones.

Being able to become a cultivator of Refining Spirit to Return to Void at this age, and also being the Sect Master's closed-door disciple.

How could they not be curious?

"Alright."

Jiang Yan smiled helplessly.

"It's not something that can't be said; I am an Innate Dao Body."

Alice's eyes widened instantly, looking at Jiang Yan in disbelief.

"There really is an Innate Dao Body!!"

86. Introductory course, treasure hunting in the Scripture Pavilion

Innate Dao Body, this thing sounds simple just by hearing it.

But everyone didn't know much about it after all.

Only Alice had read many novel records and knew clearly what this was.

If everything in the novel described cultivation, it would be too narrow.

The Innate Dao Body could only be stronger than she imagined.

"So, what exactly is an Innate Dao Body?"

Zhongli frowned slightly and asked subconsciously.

Anything related to the Dao in cultivation doesn't seem to be a simple thing.

Before Jiang Yan could explain, Alice spoke first:

"The so-called Innate Dao Body is a physique extremely suitable for cultivating immortality."

"Crowned with the name of Dao, it symbolizes that this physique is the existence closest to the Dao."

"It is the darling of the Dao."

"Specifically, I don't know how to describe it; in short, the description in the novel is that the Innate Dao Body is not a special physique."

"This is a life essence; other people's physiques are just talent, while the Innate Dao Body is a life level, essentially an existence close to the Dao."

"This is a physique that only exists in legends."

Hearing this, Venti couldn't help but ask.

"Since it's a physique that only exists in legends, how do you know?"

"The protagonists in the novels are all Innate Dao Bodies!"

Alice replied with a calm expression.

Everyone was silent.

Sure enough, it's better to question the authenticity of what Alice said.

"Sect Master, is it really as Elder Alice said?"

Ganyu looked at Jiang Yan with some joy; the higher Jiang Yan's talent, the happier she was.

Jiang Yan smiled and said vaguely:

"More or less; the Innate Dao Body does only exist in legends, but it has not never appeared."

"It means that people with this physique have all become myths and legends in the heavens and worlds."

"For example, the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, the Four Royals, etc., these masters of the Heavenly Court."

Everyone looked at Jiang Yan in a trance.

They thought their talent was good, and some had special physiques.

The distance from Jiang Yan shouldn't be particularly outrageous.

Unexpectedly...

It's not on the same level at all.

For a time, everyone was a bit decadent.

"Wake up."

Jiang Yan scolded softly; everyone felt like a bell exploded in their hearts, and they all shivered and came back to their senses.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan said seriously:

"Don't be sad because of talent problems; fate is determined by heaven, but things are done by people; this is the firm belief of all cultivators."

"Strong talent does have advantages that ordinary people find hard to catch up with, but talent doesn't represent everything."

"On the road of cultivating immortality, talent, comprehension, perseverance, and opportunity are all indispensable."

"Geniuses who died young, geniuses who were indistinguishable from the crowd, I have seen them too."

"Only with a firm will can one continue to climb on the immortal road and achieve a higher future."

"If you feel that you can't catch up for the rest of your life because your talent is not as good as others, then what are you cultivating immortality for?"

This was the first time Jiang Yan seemed a bit angry in everyone's impression.

But listening to Jiang Yan's words, for a time, everyone was a bit ashamed.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan's voice slowed down slightly.

"In the past, I heard of a peerless genius who was one of the divine bodies, the Ten Thousand Sects Profound Yellow Body."

"Ranked nineteenth on the cultivation world's prodigy list, he was also a genius who crowned the world."

"But so what?"

Jiang Yan asked rhetorically and said leisurely:

"Aren't those geniuses in the eyes of mortals just mediocre people in the eyes of others?"

"The martial arts geniuses that mortals think are just ants that can't be on the stage in the eyes of cultivators."

"And those cultivators, in the eyes of prodigies, aren't they also ants that can't be on the stage?"

"The prodigies who are unparalleled in the lower world, after ascending, compared to the prodigies of all the great worlds in the immortal world, how small are they?"

"Mountains are always higher than mountains."

"Seas are always deeper than seas."

"Looking only at talent, one can never judge who is the real number one in the world."

"We look at ants like observing palm prints, clear at a glance, high above."

"When existences higher up observe us, are they like us observing ants?"

"Talent is just the foundation for you to become stronger; how far you can go depends on your will and opportunity."

After a pause, seeing that everyone seemed to have listened, Jiang Yan finally said:
