Chapter 156: The Dao discussion ends, realizing the universe within one's sleeve!

On Mount Sumeru, everyone sat upright.

The celestial sounds were faint, echoing throughout the void, shaking the universe, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten earths.

Heavenly flowers fell exquisitely, golden lotuses surged from the earth!

Auspicious light burst forth, auspicious colors rose.

What a supremely marvelous and extraordinary sight!

At first, among those discussing the Dao, there was no lack of argumentative words.

After all, Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun and others were all peerless primordial mighty beings who had listened to the Dao in the Purple Dawn Palace, each firmly believing their own cultivation path was the most profound and marvelous Great Dao, none yielding to another.

Beyond Mount Sumeru by countless miles, innumerable western beings had long been listening, dumbstruck.

To them, the few people's debate was like hearing heavenly scripture, difficult to comprehend.

But as time passed, everyone's arguments gradually subsided.

One after another, everyone spoke up, elaborating on their understanding of the Dao and their cultivation insights, etc.

In an instant, above the high heavens, several pillars of light burst forth, spanning heaven and earth, brilliant and dazzling.

Within each pillar of light flowed a profound and mysterious Dao rhythm, with laws and order intertwined, indescribable.

The western beings were utterly immersed, as if having obtained a supreme treasure, from time to time exclaiming in awe.

At this moment, Chen Ku likewise had his expression greatly shaken.

For ordinary beings, they perhaps could only sense a hint of marvel within a certain Dao rhythm.

But Chen Ku was not so.

Needless to say, Jieyin and Zhunti, as his master and grandmaster-uncle, their teachings perfectly matched Chen Ku's cultivation path, allowing instant comprehension.

Moreover, Chen Ku also greatly benefited from the teachings of Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun and others.

"What I cultivate is the Way of Hunyuan."

"Therefore, one must not be limited to a single minor path."

"Embracing a hundred rivers, taking each's strengths, that is the true essence of cultivation."

Chen Ku's mind surged with thoughts.

Since becoming a disciple, in his travels or battles, Chen Ku had comprehended such as the laws of the Heavenly Dao, the law of force, even the law of Yin, etc.

This suffices to show that the inclusiveness of the Way of Hunyuan is astonishing to the world.

Therefore, while the surrounding few each expounded, Chen Ku deeply imprinted it in his heart, never missing a moment.

Among the crowd, those who benefited most were none other than Jieyin, Zhunti, and Zhen Yuanzi three.

Of course, when Chen Ku expounded his own Dao, he did not fully reveal it.

After all, given the current state of heaven and earth, to claim one cultivates the Way of Hunyuan would indeed be somewhat heaven-defying.

As the Dao discussion deepened, the pillars of light hovering above the three also reached a level capable of illuminating the heavens.

Laws surged, order unceasing!

The three's Dao rhythm emanated, covering sky and sun, immeasurable.

Although their eyes were slightly closed, their qi mechanism was profoundly mysterious, inexplicably supernatural, evidently they had fallen into a state of heaven-man unity in Dao comprehension.

Under its illumination, the Dao-light pillars of Hong Yun and Xi He Chang Xi appeared somewhat dimmer instead.

At a certain moment, the three seemed as if they had agreed beforehand.

"Break!"

"Break!"

"Break!"

Almost simultaneously, three loud shouts echoed in succession.

Immediately thereafter, only seen, the aura surrounding Jieyin, Zhunti, and Zhen Yuanzi three suddenly changed greatly.

In the dark, it seemed as if each had a heavenly blade of fate, which crashed down upon their bodies.

Thereafter, after the two corpses of good and evil of the three, the image of the self-corpse again emerged.

Thus, the three successively severed their self-corpse.

After all three corpses were completely cut down, they entered the late Quasi-Saint stage of cultivation.

In an instant, Chen Ku, Hong Yun, and Xi He Chang Xi all had their expressions greatly shaken, gradually awakening from meditation.

"Congratulations, Master and Grandmaster-uncle!"

"Congratulations, Daoist friend Zhen Yuanzi!"

Chen Ku spoke, his face full of smiles.

This time, it was truly a great gain.

My master and grandmaster-uncle both have already reached the late Quasi-Saint stage.

Given time, as long as the three corpses unite, it will be the peak of the Quasi-Saint.

By then, the distance to the true Saint realm will be but a hair's breadth.

The improvement of my master and grandmaster-uncle is immense.

Likewise, Chen Ku clearly saw that at this moment Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were full of frenzied joy and excitement.

The latter bowed with clasped hands and spoke:

"This seat thanks all fellow Daoists."

"If not for the two Daoist friends Jieyin and Zhunti expounding their cultivation insights, this seat might not have been able to so quickly sever the three corpses and enter the late Quasi-Saint stage."

What Zhen Yuanzi said naturally referred to the help from Jieyin and Zhunti to him.

Afterwards, he again looked toward Chen Ku.

"The wonderful Daoist principles spoken by Daoist friend Chen Ku likewise gave this seat profound insight."

Zhen Yuanzi's face was full of solemnity.

Although what Chen Ku said was only part of his own cultivation, it was ultimately the Dao of Primordial Chaos, and Zhen Yuanzi could also perceive its profound subtleties.

Chen Ku gave a faint smile and did not say much more.

Beside him, Hong Yun also spoke up.

"Haha, this humble daoist has also slain the Evil Corpse and entered the realm of the Two Corpse Quasi-Saint."

Before this, Hong Yun had only slain the Good Corpse.

After all, this guy is always thinking of traveling the world, making friends everywhere, which actually caused his cultivation progress to lag far behind Zhen Yuanzi's.

And likewise, during this lecture, Hong Yun felt inspired, successfully slew the Evil Corpse, and stepped into the realm of the Two Corpse Quasi-Saint.

Finally, there were Xi He and Chang Xi.

They remained at the realm of the One Corpse Quasi-Saint.

However, after the discussion ended, Xi He's eyes lit up.

"With the insights from this discussion, my sister and I will surely be able to slay the Evil Corpse before long."

In short, this discussion yielded astonishing gains for everyone, with significant improvements.

Beyond ten thousand miles, the countless western beings need not even be mentioned.

Even if they only grasped one percent, or one thousandth, of what Jieyin Zhunti lectured, it brought them enormous improvement, letting them comprehend so much more.

Feeling the joy of countless beings, the smile on Jieyin Zhunti's face grew even deeper.

At that moment, Zhen Yuanzi spoke again:

"Haha, this time I have not only slain the Self Corpse."

"At the same time, I have also comprehended a mighty divine ability, truly extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhen Yuanzi with some doubt.

What kind of top-tier divine ability would merit his comment "truly extraordinary"?

"Oh? What divine ability!!"

Hong Yun asked instinctively.

Upon hearing that, Zhen Yuanzi gave a mysterious smile and said:

"Hehe, old friend Hong Yun, would you be willing to try it with me?"

Then we shall know how powerful this divine ability is.

Hong Yun hardly hesitated, nodded in agreement, and his face showed anticipation.

Having been close friends through countless ages, he believed Zhen Yuanzi would naturally not harm him.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi laughed heartily and shouted:

"Old friend Hong Yun, you may simply give your all to defend against this strike of mine."

Saying that, Zhen Yuanzi swept his massive sleeve.

For a moment, fierce winds howled in the arena, the power of laws surged mightily, the void crumbled inch by inch, an indescribable great terror.

Hong Yun dared not be careless; endless auspicious clouds instantly appeared above his head, shielding him.

But in just an instant, Zhen Yuanzi's sleeve swept past.

Even as strong as Hong Yun, he was directly trapped within, unable to break free.

Seeing this, Jieyin Zhunti's expression also shifted.

Zhen Yuanzi's words were not empty; this divine ability is indeed supremely powerful, beyond measure.

Immediately, Zhen Yuanzi withdrew the divine ability, and Hong Yun only then regained his freedom.

Only then did Zhen Yuanzi continue speaking:

This is a spatial divine ability; once unleashed, it can draw the opponent into one's sleeve, leaving no escape.

Therefore, I call it... Sleeve-Holding Universe!

Hearing this, Jieyin Zhunti and the others nodded repeatedly, praising it without end.

Sleeve-Holding Universe!

This name is indeed most fitting, for within the robe's sleeve lies a self-contained universe, extraordinarily domineering.

Meanwhile, Chen Ku's eyes lit up.

So... Zhen Yuanzi's Sleeve-Holding Universe was actually created at this time?

This was somewhat beyond Chen Ku's expectations.

Just as his thoughts were flowing.

Suddenly, his heaven-defying comprehension came into play once again.

【You observed Zhen Yuanzi displaying the divine ability, combined with spatial laws, and comprehended the Great Divine Ability of Sleeve-Holding Universe!】

Instantly, Chen Ku rejoiced greatly!

He too had mastered this renowned spatial divine ability?!
