Chapter 227

The Original True Explanation—just seeing the words "Original" reveals it is no ordinary thing.

Fang Yu, in the Stone Village, once again contemplated the Original True Explanation.

He has much to do: on one hand, cultivate the Eight Divine Abilities of Yuhua Sect and complete the Five Elements; on the other, unravel the Original True Explanation, comprehend its true runes, and perhaps gain numerous Divine Abilities.

As for teaching the children of the Stone Village and instructing them in cultivation, it is not difficult.

When cultivation reaches the Yin-Yang Realm, Daoist Gang Qi gains sentience; no manual effort is needed, for the sentient Gang Qi can teach the children.

Fang Yu cultivates, the children cultivate, and even the village's young adults steadily enhance their physical strength.

Fang Yu even taught them a modified version of Yuan Chen Spirit Art.

The three great Famen of Yuhua Sect—Yuan Chen Spirit Art, Hun Dong Breathing Technique, and Earth Haoran Qi—are scriptures reserved for inner disciples, divine manuals for cultivating the spirit.

Solely cultivating the physical body is impossible to reach the Divine Ability Secret Realm in the Eternal Life Realm; one must have a method to open the brain and cultivate the spirit.

Fang Yu once used Yuan Chen Spirit Art and meditation to forge his spiritual power.

Yet in the Perfect World, human physiques are not entirely identical—not even their brain structures—and using the Eternal Life Realm's Yuan Chen Spirit Art to train Perfect World children might produce the opposite effect.

Thus, after research, Fang Yu made slight modifications, making Yuan Chen Spirit Art usable here.

As for Hun Dong Breathing Technique, it absorbs essence from heaven and earth through a series of breaths, requiring no alteration.

Fang Yu did not teach Earth Haoran Qi; it is a spiritual cultivation method to nurture Haoran Qi, utterly incompatible with the Stone Village's wild, primitive aura.

So he chose not to teach it.

"Yiya, yiya."

Little Dot Shi Hao was the first to cultivate Yuan Chen Spirit Art; his physical strength far surpassed the other children, and his spiritual power greatly exceeded theirs—he now began deciphering the runes of the Blue-Scaled Bird.

"It should be like this, like this—the intricate runes connected, then glowing like this, and power is released."

Jiu.

Little Dot's left hand shimmered with light, then a brilliant crescent moon shot forth, flying far away and snapping a towering tree in half—boom—it crashed to the ground, dust swirling.

"Wow, Little Dot succeeded! He's the first in our village to do it! So strong!"

Nearby, a group of children stared in shock.

"Incredible! Aside from Master, Little Dot is the first to master the Blue-Scaled Eagle's ability—that's an Original Treasure Rune!"

"We must also enhance our physical strength. Master said only when physical power reaches a certain level can one cultivate the spirit better. Little Dot mastered the Blue-Scaled Bird's ability so quickly because he cultivated his spirit."

"I heard the bone Master is currently unraveling holds even more wondrous things—but to succeed, one must reach the Blood Moving Realm and generate one hundred thousand jin of force. Who could possibly cultivate such power? It's too hard. I've already reached the limit of the Blood Moving Realm—only five thousand jin."

"Little Dot can do it—he's our hope. His strength is already enormous."

"Master is truly omnipotent, his magic power boundless—I even suspect he could smash dozens of mountains with one slap!"

"Master's power is beyond our imagination. Look—he's just unlocked even more things…"

As the children of the Stone Village marveled, Fang Yu, while unraveling the Original True Explanation, revealed a simple, primordial rune.

This rune shifted freely, manifesting the forms of many divine beasts: peacock, Qiongqi, Bai Ze, Su Ni, Chi Wen, Bi An, Dapeng—all their bodies evolving within this single rune.

Fang Yu was entranced, at this moment seeming to become the Kun Peng, rising from the sea, soaring straight up ninety thousand li.

Then he seemed to transform into the Zhen Hou, rampaging across the earth, revered as a heavenly god, invincible under heaven.

Soon after, he appeared as a Tao Tie, devouring all things, fierce and unstoppable—even gods could be swallowed.

In the next instant, Fang Yu became Zhu Que, Pi Xiu, Bi An…

"A single primordial rune can aid me in mastering many Divine Abilities."

Fang Yu sensed this rune and found it peculiar.

The Original True Explanation is indeed a supreme scripture, greatly beneficial to his cultivation base—this transformation differs from the Divine Ability methods of the Eternal Life Realm, offering him an entirely new experience.

Fang Yu ultimately decided to let the rune flow, manifesting different divine beast and divine bird forms, cultivating distinct Daoist Gang Qi, forming great arrays that absorbed their respective spiritual energy.

When he enters the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm, with the Original True Explanation, he may enter the Return to Oneness Realm more easily and effortlessly.

Now that he thinks on it, the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm, bears some resemblance to the primordial rune of the Original True Explanation.

"Heavenly Fire of Hao, Great Freedom Mystic Golden Sword Qi, Great Heavenly Wood Art—of these three Divine Abilities, only Heavenly Fire of Hao has reached a certain realm; Great Heavenly Wood Art is still far behind. As for the Natural Dao gained in the Shrouding Heaven Realm and the Zhuofeng legacy, I've had no time to cultivate them."

Fang Yu reflected on the Nine Secrets and Natural Legacy he once gained at Zhuofeng; with a thought, he resolved to cultivate this Divine Ability.

All natural energies in heaven and earth surged forth, flowing into Fang Yu's body.

The entire Stone Village felt harmonious, naturally serene, utterly at ease.

"You are peculiar."

At that moment, a voice sounded.

Fang Yu's expression shifted; he immediately gazed at the willow tree nearby—now, a bud of the Willow God had fully sprouted, slowly growing within the principle of nature.

"I pay my respects to Elder."

Fang Yu had long known the Willow God would awaken; now that this being truly spoke to him, he replied.

"I have observed you for a long time. You possess many wonders. Your cultivation methods clash with this place, yet I cannot calculate much."
