Chapter 77

Between different systems, the focus is different. Some cultivation systems focus on polishing the physical body, while others start cultivating from the Primordial Spirit, and others keep accumulating magic power.

The system of the "One-Life" world uses the nine orifices to cultivate the Internal Scenery, making the body the master of a small world. It is not like the Shrouding the Heavens Law, which focuses on combat power; it vows to transcend the Great Universe, pursues the unity of man and nature, echoes the internal and external worlds, mobilizes the power of heaven and earth, and masters the laws of the universe.

To put it crudely, the Shrouding the Heavens Law is a berserker, with punches hitting flesh, while the One-Life Law is a sorcerer, playing with rules.

Once a sorcerer is approached by a warrior, it ends in being punched to death; once a warrior is dragged by a sorcerer, it ends in being infinitely kited, with the health bar being drained bit by bit.

And Lin Xian, he cheats, cultivating both martial arts and magic.

As a Shrouding the Heavens cultivator, he contemplates the laws of the One-Life world. In the evolution of Yin and Yang into the Five Elements, it is not a pure evolution of the Five Elements, but first forming the Four Symbols, then using his own body as Earth to achieve the Five Elements.

The so-called Four Symbols are precisely the Moon, Sun, Lesser Yin, and Lesser Yang.

These four realms correspond precisely to the third Secret Realm of the Shrouding the Heavens Law—the Four Extremities!

In other words, when Lin Xian broke through to the Palace, he also caught a glimpse of the mystery of the Four Extremities. In the terminology of the One-Life universe, it is called occupying the characteristics of the Four Extremities.

"Water is the Moon; fire is the Sun; wood is the Lesser Yang; metal is the Lesser Yin."

"Heart fire leads the Qi of the metal lungs and erupts; it is Yang thunder."

"Kidney water leads the Qi of the liver wood and is respected; it is Yin thunder."

Lin Xian masters Yin and Yang, stepping on thunder light, with black and white colors evolving in his eyes. Behind him, a small world actually floats, communicating with the Great Dao of heaven and earth and the laws of the universe; it is incredible to the extreme!

The Old Madman's eyes splash with a trace of silver light, and a look of surprise appears on his face.

Throughout history, it is not that there haven't been Sages who only cultivated one Secret Realm; it is not surprising that there are Heaven's Pride figures with innate spiritual sense who start cultivating from the Immortal Platform.

But, Lin Xian's situation seems to have never been seen before.

"Palace, or Four Extremities?" Princess Yan Ruyu whispers, her heaving chest proving that her heart is not calm.

Whether it is the weakest Palace in history or the weakest Four Extremities in history, no one can tell.

Just as Lin Xian said, the realm is divided by Dao practice, not by the realm defining the Dao practice.

Otherwise, when two cultivators fight, they would just show their realms; if you are high and I am low, the lower one would just obediently accept death.

This situation rarely happens; more often, it is for the sake of life, fighting against heaven, and seeking a glimmer of survival.

"Refining the body shape to resemble the Dao shape..."

Lin Xian speaks softly: "The Palace Secret Realm governs lifespan and focuses on nourishment. I cultivate the heart and am not good at combat power; I hope you all will forgive me."

The demons are silent, their expressions solemn. Although it is the same silence, it represents two completely different attitudes.

"Leaping over a Heaven to fight against immortals, yet still saying you are not good at combat power? What would it look like if you were good at fighting? To be on par with the Green Emperor?"

Many demons curse inwardly, looking toward Ye Fan.

They want to know how much weight this Desolate Ancient Holy Body has, to be so highly praised by Lin Xian.

"What is your Dao?" Princess Yan Ruyu whispers, a look of confusion appearing on her clean, flawless, and beautiful face.

The longer they are in contact, the less she can see through Lin Xian. This man is completely different from those Holy Sons and God Sons, and even out of place in this cultivation world.

But, he has not become a vulgar person, but has embarked on an alternative path that cannot be guessed.

"What is my Dao? Naturally, it's cheating and lying flat."

Lin Xian reveals a brilliant smile. It is valuable for a person to have self-knowledge; one should eat according to one's ability. Forcing oneself to act cool when one can't results in being a fool.

If one has the life of the Chaotic Ancient era but insists on walking the Dao of Wu Shi, then my son Wang Teng is the best outcome.

Of course, in broad daylight, one should speak more elegantly.

Lin Xian speaks leisurely and indifferently: "All things are fully displayed, full of vitality, repeating in cycles, moving in circles. At first, flowers are like brocade, leaves are dripping with green, but in the end, they wither and fall, returning to their roots."

Princess Yan Ruyu shakes her head, indicating that she does not understand.

"Reach the extreme of emptiness, hold onto the stillness firmly. All things work together, and I observe their return." Lin Xian stands with his hands behind his back, fully displaying the demeanor of a high-level expert, and says leisurely: "One movement is not as good as one stillness. Palace cultivation is exploring the innate essence, preserving life, and cultivating immortality."

"Fighting and killing are not suitable for me; I would like to call it the Natural Dao."

The demons immediately cast admiring glances. Although they don't know what he is talking about, they feel it is very impressive.

After the discussion of the Dao, Lin Xian's status among the Demon race is firmly established.

However, Ye Fan is fooled, running over and asking inquisitively: "Master Lin, what exactly is the Natural Dao? Can I learn it?"

"The Natural Dao?" Lin Xian reveals a brilliant smile and says leisurely: "The Natural Dao is doing whatever I want to do."

"Ah!"

Ye Fan is slightly stunned. Is that what the Natural Dao means?

Lin Xian smiles without saying a word. The Natural Dao is naturally unrestrained; otherwise, why would the Secret of 'Jie' be hidden under Zhuofeng?

The Nine Secrets each represent the limits of nine directions in the human realm, almost approaching immortality.

The Secret of 'Xing' is speed comparable to the immortal Dao; evolved to the extreme, it can touch the long river of time.

The Secret of 'Jie' is combat power comparable to the Heavenly Emperor, capable of increasing combat power by 10 times in an instant, helping cultivators step into the Eight Forbidden realms.

The person who seems the most honest uses the most ruthless divine technique to deal the most powerful damage.

This is the Natural Dao!

Lin Xian floats away to continue his path of cultivation. Having been interrupted in his seclusion just now, he has not yet condensed his own Palace deity.

The five internal organs—heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney—are collectively called the five internal organs, and each organ can gestate a god.

Wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces metal, metal produces water, water produces wood; how to start is an extremely particular technique.

If you choose correctly, fitting your own Dao, you can accelerate the speed of cultivation; if you choose wrongly, you will get half the result with twice the effort and waste hundreds of years of time.

"Which god to choose..." After pondering for a moment, Lin Xian makes a bold decision.

Come out, my system!

System 10086 is speechless and warns: "Host, don't be too lazy."

"Deep affection does not last long, and extreme wisdom will surely hurt." Lin Xian smiles slightly: "The Palace lies in stillness; everything is for the sake of cultivation."

"Besides, no one understands my body structure better than you."

"The bystander sees clearly while the person involved is confused; System, give me an opinion."

"Choose Earth." After a long silence, the System says slowly: "The numbers of the River Map, matching one, two, three, four, five with six, seven, eight, nine, ten, are the innate Dao."

"Therefore, it starts with the water of the Moon and ends with the earth of the surging Qi, speaking of the order of birth by Qi."

"Before the Five Elements existed, there must have been Yin, Yang, old, and young, and then the surging Qi, so life starts with Earth. Finally, once the Five Elements exist, all things are born from Earth, and water, fire, wood, and metal also rely on it, so Earth comes first."

Lin Xian listens to the heavenly sound of the Great Dao, the light in his eyes becoming more and more magnificent, feeling that it is incomparably fitting for himself, and everything is natural, as if he had thought of it himself.

Sure enough, instead of struggling hard himself, it is better to make the System suffer a little.

"As expected of you, System!" Lin Xian stands up and bows forty-five degrees: "Arigato, thank you, Dora-System!"

The System sneers: "Bowing and thanking are the most meaningless and hypocritical things."

Lin Xian ponders for a moment and smiles slightly: "Calculating the time, the Bronze Immortal Palace will be born soon. At that time, I will give you all the Mother Qi of Xuanhuang to eat; I won't keep any."

If bowing and thanking are useless, then draw a pie.
