"Just now, I was still lost..."
"And now?"
"Now... Bazhun’an, I want to cultivate the Na!"
In the Gui Zhe Ruins, beneath the Ghost Buddha, the exchange between the Number One Sword Deity and the Eighth Sword Deity reached a point of sublimation.
With a resolute declaration, as Xu Xiaoshou spoke, path energy surged wildly around him, naturally unfolding the Way of the Sword Disc beneath his feet.
There was no second disc.
Only the singular Way of the Sword Disc!
Complex enlightennt, brilliantly vivid, akin to Immortals leading the way, or as demonic whispers piercing the ear, penetrated through his eyes and bones, lding with the self, bringing forth the new from the old.
"Cultivate the Na..."
Bazhun’an couldn’t see, yet could sense it.
Xu Xiaoshou had realized.
His realm suddenly began to advance upward from nine-tenths of Super Taoization, with no end in sight.
Nine-one, nine-two, nine-three...
All the way to nine-nine!
He seed to enter an epiphanic state of "Void Ancestor Transformation"?
In terms of combat strength, there might not yet be any form of enhancent.
In the realm of Dao Enlightennt, there was a substantial surge, with signs of possible cultivation deviation at any mont!
"The Way of Na..."
Bazhun’an himself was an unparalleled genius.
He was reticent and disliked wasting words with ordinary people, as it seed like playing lute to a cow.
Yet towards Xu Xiaoshou, be it character, conduct, realization quality... Bazhun’an always had nothing but praise and affirmation.
Upon sensing the young man before him, chatting and suddenly transforming, incessantly "acquiring," and what was acquired being profoundly peculiar, causing him to show tendencies of deviation...
Bazhun’an did not exhibit a shred of panic.
Instead, he thodically shifted his role.
He transitioned from being an authoritative answer provider to a subordinate questioner, yet still asked in a manner of controlling from below:
"Cultivate the Na? Isn’t that akin to cultivating the Dao? Harder than ascending to heaven!"
Xu Xiaoshou indeed no longer needed anyone to provide answers for him.
For the first ti entering Void Taoism, it was as if being subrged in an ocean of answers, everything was within reach, and he could casually reply:
"No, the Way of Na can also be divided into three: Na, Superior Na, Supre Na."
Bazhun’an couldn’t hide his astonishnt.
Whether Xu Xiaoshou had deviated or sothing else,
what he spoke was too epheral and must be condensed into substance; otherwise, waking up would leave nothing but void, potentially leading to the destruction of one’s path and life.
He began to probe and guide Xu Xiaoshou through questions, confronting him:
"I cultivate the Na; the Na is like a double-edged sword that both achieves and harms . I interpret Sword , transforming into the Two Forms. What is your current understanding of the Way of Na?"
"Na is like the Dao, the Dao gives birth to the Two Forms, so the Na can also transform into the Two Forms."
"Oh? Whence the Two Forms in Na?"
"Na, like a double-edged sword, harms both and others. Hence, Na, like fire, has the traits of a raging inferno, reducing everything to ashes. Cultivating the Na is thus unimpeded, and cultivating the Na is thus invincible."
Indeed, he has deviated... Bazhun’an frowned and stepped back, beginning to be vigilant, ready to act at any mont, but still able to maintain a calm discourse:
"A single ’fire’ doesn’t form ’Two Forms’, Xu Xiaoshou, you’ve twisted the concept. This is rely a reading of Na as a double-edged sword, not an interpretation of ’Na like Dao, Dao gives birth to Two Forms’."
"No, Bazhun’an, you’re the one who is dull, not hearing my intent... I said, Na is like fire, causing the Na to beco violent. Yet I also said, Superior Na is like water, nourishing all things. If used well... the reason it doesn’t compete, thus there are no grievances."
Bazhun’an abruptly opened his eyes wide, the dark surroundings seed engulfed, and his ears were filled with the truth of the Great Path.
What Xu Xiaoshou spoke was intermittent, causing his heart to be alard and cautious, barely maintaining composure:
"Indeed, Superior Na is like water, non-competitive, without grievance, but within the situation, who can truly not compete? You probably speak in dreams!"
"Bazhun’an, you are wrong again."
"Oh?" Bazhun’an had never been negated so many tis in his life, yet heard Xu Xiaoshou’s astonishing words once more:
"Non-competition does not an being without desires or not competing; Wu Wei is ant to follow the trend."
Bazhun’an originally intended to guide Xu Xiaoshou onto the path of righteousness.
After hearing these two sentences, path energy burst around him, his expression changed slightly, even he was on the verge of entering an epiphany state.
He hurriedly suppressed this impulse, knowing that what Xu Xiaoshou said was still empty talk and must be grounded at the roots; otherwise, it was like a castle in the air, sure to collapse at the slightest blow.
"The Way of Na, the Two Forms can be water and fire, but by entering the path with water and fire, they are inherently incompatible and easily lead to self-destruction... Xu Xiaoshou, do you understand water and fire?"
"Bazhun’an, you understand the sword and therefore see everything as a sword, but you don’t understand water and fire, so you assu no one else understands them either... This is like a frog at the bottom of a well."
"Oh?" This ti, Bazhun’an suppressed so of his anger, while Xu Xiaoshou spoke clearly and eloquently:
"The Dao has no hierarchy, only order."
"Indeed, an Upanishad rely reaches eight-tenths of the Way of Spiritual Cultivation. Using the Dao of water and fire requires no more mastery than that; it suffices to use its intent."
"Elder Sang imparted to the Infernal Fla, making my nature restless and my power violent, while the Water Ghost imparted to the Superior Water, making my body adaptable and my thoughts cunning. While their powers may be lacking, their intent reached a very high realm."
This ti, it was Bazhun’an’s turn to be taught a lesson.
Indeed, if one can cultivate to the Upanishad of the Great Path, how can the intent not be profound?
It is rely that Sleeveless and the Water Ghost’s abilities were slightly insufficient to push further forward.
The Dao of water and fire, like the Path of Profound Divine Thought and the Way of the Sword ... In essence, they all directly point to the path of sealing Godhood and acknowledging ancestorhood.
Cultivate in na, borrowing the Dao of water and fire, transforming into Two Forms.
With Elder Sang and the Water Ghost Pearl Jade leading the way, the path ahead Xu Xiaoshou can wholly supplent with his own realization quality!
"No anger, no anger..."
Bazhun’an felt ridiculed and mocked.
He even wondered whether Xu Xiaoshou was doing it on purpose, cursing even in this state.
But after all, he was decades older, and as a guide, he certainly couldn’t get angry over this. Instead, Bazhun’an had to continue asking:
"Borrowing the Dao of water and fire, easy to speak of, difficult to practice. How then do you, separately from ’water’ and ’fire’, prove the Way of Na?"
"Bazhun’an, I have basically mastered the Upanishad of fire."
"And what about water?"
"Water, it’s naturally complete."
It must be said, Bazhun’an’s guidance indeed served its purpose.
When led to this point and reaching into the minutiae of thought, Xu Xiaoshou, after saying his last sentence, fell into contemplation.
In just half a day’s ti, he slowly turned around, his gaze already looking out at the five regions and eight directions, speaking eloquently:
"The upper na is like water, water pervades the five regions."
"I will use half a year to observe the waters of the five regions."
"Entering the path through streams, lakes, rivers, marshes, seas, tasting changes in mist, rain, tides, waterfalls, and floods, stepping into the River of Ti, touching the Empty and Dried Realm, comprehending life and death, attaining the mysterious, unifying Yin and Yang, and verifying the Way through Na!"
After hearing this, Bazhun’an’s heart again chilled.
To be in such an epiphany state as Xu Xiaoshou in rely half a day’s ti, it’s undeniably strong — to apply that much towards the cultivation regarding ’upper na’.
"Na as fire, upper na as water, yet the Two Forms balance, your na and upper na seem a bit lopsided?" Bazhun’an pointed out the last doubt.
Xu Xiaoshou slightly shook his head, his gaze flickered, and the path energy flowed: "You don’t understand..."
What?
Bazhun’an’s brow twitched as he heard Xu Xiaoshou say:
"The Two Forms can be ’left and right’, can be ’inclusive and being included’, naturally ’upper and lower’, ’high and low’ correspond as well."
"Yet the upper na as water does not an fire is ’lower na’, and the Dao that generates Two Forms, the Two Forms are not equivalent to the na, not equivalent to the Dao."
"It’s rely cleverly borrowed, used to enter the Dao."
Bazhun’an was indeed taught then, realizing he was too caught up on ’water and fire’, without considering Xu Xiaoshou’s clarity of mind.
"Then..."
With all confusions dissolved, what’s left is no longer guidance, but simple curiosity, even with a bit of seeking advice:
"Na, upper na, you’ve comprehended them, this path may be worth a try, but what about the Supre Na?"
The concept of Supre surely erged from the earlier ’Supre Limitless’.
Could it be that in this enlightennt journey, Xu Xiaoshou even touched upon realms unreachable by the War Ancestor?
Bazhun’an’s expression changed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiaoshou turned around.
The Way of the Sword Disc beneath him disappeared, the path energy around him gradually faded, he rely curled his lips into a smile and said:
"Bazhun’an, you have beco attached to forms."
"It is because of no competition, that there is no bla... You asking this shows that in terms of realm, you still lack a bit of heat compared to ."
At these words, Bazhun’an’s face turned livid.
