Chapter 30

Taiyi's interpretation of the Dao of Taiyi differs somewhat from Qi's Taiyi Dao.

Compared to Qi's Taiyi Dao, Taiyi's is somewhat different.

Qi wraps his Dao fruit in life-force cultivation, like adding a shell to a seed.

Taiyi, however, links the Dao fruit to life force, planting the seed in the ground.

One emphasizes life-force cultivation, letting both advance together, though they may interfere with each other.

Although steady, it requires much time to grind, and progress in Dao cultivation is tied to life force.

The other focuses on the Dao fruit, nourishing it with life force, which greatly benefits Dao cultivation progress.

He needs to prepare, just in case, lest he truly be refuted into speechlessness.

Without returning to the Fusang tree to enter seclusion, Taiyi sits where he is; even if a fight eventually breaks out, he must first prepare for the Dao debate.

The first Dao debate is already on such a scale; he feels somewhat unaccustomed.

With every gesture, great magical power coalesces; Qi lifts and empties all the mountains and islands of this water region.

Taiyi, meanwhile, has a surging aura, his Dao cultivation manifesting outwardly.

Go to the various tribes to find beings skilled in dance and music, to prepare a banquet.

The native beings of Cloud Dream Marsh also relocate, for after all they need trade and an environment to communicate with the outside world.

Qi is very confident; he believes the friends he has made will not let this matter affect their feelings.

Over these years, the water level that had receded because of Taiyi's earlier Dao lecture has recovered.

Shouldn't it be enough to go from shallow to deep, just exchanging ideas?

After all, with all friends gathered, we must first drink and enjoy the banquet, chatting about daily life.

"I just don't know what effect a clash will have."

In direct combat, he may be at a slight disadvantage, but he believes that joining forces with his sibling will ensure they don't lose.

She doesn't think she will lose, but worries that someone might not be able to bear losing.

Taiyi has already begun looking forward to going to Cloud Dream Marsh when Di Jun sees Qi already in his re-cultivated state.

Seeing the two have reached an agreement, Fuxi could only smile wryly helplessly and went into seclusion to re-cultivate.

Speaking of this, he gives a knowing smile.

"Wait for the elder brother to leave seclusion, then let him taste some hardship to see Qi's methods."

Moreover, we must prepare for a one-versus-four situation, after all Qi and Di Jun have too many past grievances!

Taiyi has a premonition that this time, even nursing wounds will take a while.

He knows a Dao friend named Hongyun; Hongyun has wide connections, and according to him, Dao debates across the Great Wilderness are basically like this.

This has resulted in many empty water expanses within Cloud Dream Marsh.

Fuxi still hesitates; he excels at deduction and feels he cannot possibly lose this time.

Really, there won't be a fight?

"It won't affect feelings, will it?"

Qi also went into seclusion to prepare for this Dao debate; although he is equally confident, he still needs to reserve a bit.

Seeing Bailing's curiosity, Qi offered no explanation, merely waving a hand to indicate he should not worry.

This has made the core of Cloud Dream Marsh, where spiritual aura and opportunity are most abundant and lively, the place with the fewest beings.

After all, this is the elder brother wanting to spar with Qi; he also can't well obstruct it, right?

One's Dao place should be protected, and at the same time, notify the tribes to keep them away from here.

Speaking of this, Qi feels a bit excited; such a debate is interesting.

Thus Qi seems to merge with nature, his Dao cultivation not apparent.

And the way these five people mutually refute each other in Dao debate makes Fuxi a little hesitant.

Although we don't know when they will arrive, preparing in advance is never wrong.

Or we should study their weaknesses; I can say little, but I can pick many nits!

There we set up a formation specifically to prevent power leakage.

"In a few days, I and several Dao friends will debate Dao and scriptures here."

Mutually refuting, each pointing out what they deem to be errors.

"Good, a word is enough; I will quietly await the two to leave seclusion and jointly behold the grand scene."

Especially Taiyi, who follows the sole supremacy Dao; this debate style puts him at a great disadvantage—will he really not resort to fighting?

Fuxi's expression also turns grave.

We can't just resort to fighting when we lose an argument; that would really damage our reputation.

We can't end up being the first to withdraw.

Especially since he has specially studied the theoretical weaknesses of the others.

He can certainly catch their loopholes! Strive to come out first in literary debate!

Nüwa's tone is full of excitement; such stimulating events are rare.

Moreover, the core is Qi's Dao place, where normally no one dares to disturb.

"Then it's settled; when we leave seclusion, we'll do it this way."

Before entering seclusion, Qi first went to Cloud Dream Marsh to find an empty stretch of water.

This is a thorough testing, even outright denial, of a seeker's Dao.

Di Jun and Taiyi are the same.

Taiyi thinks, at the very least he cannot be the first eliminated; if it really comes to that, striking first is not impossible.

Some mountain ranges have become islands in the marsh, and many beings have migrated to the outskirts of Cloud Dream Marsh.

In the end, they will most likely start to spar a bit, but on the Dao of Solitary Supremacy he is at a great disadvantage.

He also began to take to heart what Qi said about the five-person discourse on the Dao.

Even due to the abundant spiritual energy and the nourishing vapors from the dead ferocious beasts, Cloud Dream Marsh expanded considerably.

——————-

"Five people together?"

Bai Ling had walked halfway when Qi called him back, telling him to prepare more spirit fruit and lotus seeds, and to have plenty of fine wine ready.

We can't just destroy Cloud Dream Marsh over one Dao discussion.

Back then, they siblings were also attracted by that Dao lecture spoken of by Taiyi Di Jun, and thus decided to go to Cloud Dream Marsh to see it.

After Bai Ling agreed, he had some doubts and asked Qi:

It's just worrying that the loser would lose face, affecting everyone's feelings.

"Before the Dao discussion ends, you must guard this area well, to avoid being hurt by the aftermath."

Qi, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?

"How's the consideration? This would be much more interesting."

She has absolute confidence in her own Dao of Creation, not thinking there will be any loopholes to be caught.

Leave enough space for the Dao discussion.

Even if it's delayed by thousands or tens of thousands of years, their cultivation in the core area will not yield fewer benefits.

After all, this time four or five people will speak at the same time, mutually refuting.

Moreover, it concerns victory or defeat; everyone is proud of their own understanding of the Dao.

This is actually also a rare opportunity for ordinary beings.

Casual exchange between them won't go too deep; often only specially trusted Dao partners will engage in an unreserved Dao discussion.

Thinking this, Taiyi decided that if they were too overbearing, he would first take action to defend the Dao.

Seeing Bai Ling agree, he also reminded him not to come listen, as it would be of no benefit to him.

After all, none of them is a qualified Dao discussant.

"Your Majesty usually doesn't care about outsiders coming to listen to the Dao; is there something abnormal this time?"

"Of course not; everyone couldn't possibly lack even this much tolerance, so we can't not accept better viewpoints."

Although progress is rapid, one must also worry that life cultivation cannot keep up with the increase in Dao realm, causing imbalance.

Worry that once they start fighting, they won't be able to stop.

And such a Dao discussion might happen only this once; if one doesn't participate and misses it, perhaps there truly will be no such opportunity again.

In the end, it basically became a paradise of various medicinal herbs and immortal elixirs.

He also once discussed the Dao with the primordial divine beings.

Nüwa was somewhat surprised.

Qi again summoned Bai Ling, marking out a piece around the core area, and instructed him:

After reviewing the arrangements and finding no omissions, Qi also went into seclusion to prepare for this five-person Dao discussion.
