"I also don't know if the Heavenly chanism Strategy is with , it's just that when I was harmonizing in the Heavenly Court, my consciousness was suddenly summoned by the Heavenly chanism Strategy."
Chen Shi did not hide it, narrating his encounter with the Heavenly chanism Strategy and how the Heavenly Dao Patterns were imprinted deep in his consciousness, saying, "I don't know what use these Heavenly Dao Seals have, but when cultivating the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture, I naturally comprehended the mysteries within the sword moves, unleashing the full power of the swordsmanship."
Zhong Lin was dumbfounded as he listened. Although he had guessed that the Heavenly chanism Strategy helped Chen Shi comprehend, he didn't expect that there was a complete volu of the Heavenly chanism Strategy deep within Chen Shi's consciousness!
"The Heavenly chanism Strategy, with its divine strategy, must have calculated its impending disaster, thus imprinting itself within your consciousness to evade this calamity!"
Zhong Lin was unspeakably excited, pacing back and forth with excitent, suddenly stopping to say with a smile, "The Heavenly Court is planning to rebuild the Heavenly chanism Strategy, Mr. Chen, having the imprint of the Heavenly chanism Strategy in your consciousness is precisely your opportunity to achieve great accomplishnts! You should hand over the imprint of the Heavenly chanism Strategy, recreating it will be a monuntal achievent!"
Chen Shi inquired, "How do I hand it over?"
"Submit your consciousness..."
Zhong Lin stopped mid-sentence, unable to help but freeze, frowning deeply.
If the Heavenly Court knew that Chen Shi's consciousness held the Heavenly Dao imprint of the Heavenly chanism Strategy, they would surely extract Chen Shi's consciousness to carefully search for the imprint. This search might take a long ti, even many years, to find all the Heavenly Dao Seals.
During this period, Chen Shi's consciousness would have no chance to return to his body!
Moreover, it was not up to Chen Shi to decide.
More critically, after the Heavenly Court rebuilt the Heavenly chanism Strategy, it would surely destroy the "backup," and Chen Shi was this backup!
The Heavenly Court collects the Heavenly Dao Patterns comprehended by the Heavenly chanism Scholars without destroying them because what they understand is but a drop in the ocean, dispersed among the scholars of the Heavenly chanism Mansion and Camp. Whether destroyed or not makes no difference.
But Chen Shi held the complete Heavenly Dao Seal, thus it must be destroyed!
Zhong Lin was troubled, for asking Chen Shi to hand it over was essentially sentencing him to death, possibly worse than death. Chen Shi had saved his life at the Demon Refining Well; how could he repay kindness with betrayal?
But as a Heavenly chanism Scholar, he had responsibilities, and defying them was not his wish either.
Seeing Zhong Lin's struggle, Chen Shi stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "Scholar, you adhere to the Heavenly Dao but struggle within the Human Dao, finding it hard to decide. Why not follow your heart?"
Zhong Lin was slightly taken aback and asked for guidance, "What is the Human Dao?"
"The Human Dao, as Laozi speaks of virtue. Confucius speaks of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, warmth, kindness, humility, frugality, respect. Mozi speaks of universal love and non-aggression. ncius says the people are precious, the state is next, and the ruler is light. Han Feizi entrusts governance to law and order, determining right and wrong by rewards and punishnts. Buddha says all beings are equal. Common people speak of daily necessities, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and flowers. They call it worldly affairs. This is the Human Dao. You adhere to the Heavenly Dao, thinking I should offer the Heavenly Dao imprint to rebuild the Heavenly chanism Strategy. Yet, you think doing so would bring my death and betray kindness, hesitating internally. This is the Human Dao."
Zhong Lin asked again, "So, how should I choose?"
Chen Shi smiled, "To not follow the Human Dao is to be inhuman. The word Immortal still includes the character for man. The choice is obviously clear."
Zhong Lin's mind roared, with various noisy clamor approaching, quarreling in his mind; so advised to follow the Heavenly Dao, others advised to be human first. Insights from comprehending the Heavenly chanism Strategy unwittingly erged, repeatedly chanting the lody of the Grand Dao.
Even childhood mories stord in, repeatedly appearing in his mind, all sorts of noises were roaring, making him feel the world spinning.
As he battled with himself, Chen Shi continued to hone the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture.
The sixth move, Autumn Wind and Rain.
Autumn wind and rain, desiring to beco frost and snow.
The seventh move, Desert Sand Exhausted.
Desert sand exhausted, severe depth imasurable.
The eighth move, Heavenly Net Break.
Heavenly net break, crimson wheel like blood.
The ninth move, Hongng Division.
Hongng division, Xuanhuang separation.
For the first eight moves, whenever Chen Shi executed them, the essence of the techniques manifested, naturally comprehending the mysteries within the sword moves, except for the eighth move, Heavenly Net Break, which was harder to comprehend. However, after practicing it several tis, the mysteries within were also understood.
Only the ninth move, Hongng Division, no matter how many tis Chen Shi executed it, practiced it, his mind was empty, and the power of this move could not be unleashed at all!
Unconvinced, Chen Shi executed Hongng Division again, attempting to comprehend the mystery of Hongng Division separating Xuanhuang, yet this move was only its form and still had no power.
Chen Shi blinked, thinking, "Could it be that even the Heavenly Dao doesn't know the mystery of this move? Or is it that the ninth move of the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture transcends the scope of the Heavenly Dao?"
But how could that be?
To transcend the Five Elents and escape Yin Yang is understandable. But to transcend the Heavenly Dao, that's too outlandish!
However, if this move cannot transcend the Heavenly Dao, why is it not comprehensible?
"It seems, I have comprehended the mysteries of the Mixed Yuan Sword Scripture, the Heavenly Dao Seals still have so effect."
Chen Shi executed Hongng Division again, still with no power, his eyes full of despair, thinking, "The Heavenly Dao doesn't understand, and I am clueless as well... Things the Heavenly Dao cannot accomplish, I might be able to! I will comprehend this move eventually!"
After a long while, he let out a sigh.
"Too difficult!"
It was many tis harder than comprehending the Great Wilderness Ming Dao Collection and finding the flaws in cultivation techniques!
