"Fourth Brother, although your Black Dragon Martial Vein hasn’t completely unsealed due to certain reasons, as you ntioned, it’s already more than thirty-five percent unsealed."
"Even though you can control thirty-five percent of the Black Dragon Martial Vein, you haven’t acquired the corresponding ability. Why not, I’m not sure!
But one thing is certain, the Great Dao leads to convergence. My embodint as the Blue Flood Dragon is also part of the Water Clan line, although our Blue Flood Dragon lineage is much inferior in grade compared to the Black Dragon lineage, our understanding of the Water Dao is shared, especially the basics!"
"The Water Dao is ever-changing; at its most basic is Water Control. By this Water Control, I don’t an using Divine Soul Power to forcibly guide so water to control.
Instead, beco a mber of the Water Spiritual Power that fills this world, and beco their commander. Then, like a commander of a hundred battles, you can direct them as you wish. That’s a more layman’s understanding."
"To put it more deeply, it’s the Dao, which we call Dao Patterns! Every bit of your understanding of the Water Dao will condense into a strand of Dao Pattern.
Under normal circumstances, you must enter the Dao Entrance Realm in cultivation to have even a chance of condensing a strand of Dao Pattern!
Once you can gather a complete Dao Pattern, it signifies you have fully beco an expert in the Dao Entrance Realm.
Thus, Dao Patterns are a mark of a Dao Entrance Realm Expert and their foundation.
Now, I’ll be activating the Water Dao Pattern I’ve condensed, allowing it to evolve and shift, while you carefully comprehend it. See if you can gain any insight!" said the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea within the Sea Suppression Hall.
But this statent surprised Ye Zhen, "Martial Artists can directly comprehend Dao Patterns of Dao Entrance Realm Martial Artists to enhance their powers?"
"Not necessarily, power not achieved, even if you stare at a Dao Pattern a thousand or ten thousand tis, it’s useless! Mainly, your Divine Soul Cultivation is strong, granting you the qualification to comprehend Dao Patterns,
Moreover, the grade of your inherited Black Dragon Martial Vein is extrely high, allowing you the possibility of comprehending Dao Patterns to gain Martial Skill abilities; otherwise, others would be blinded with no effect," said the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea.
"Watch carefully!"
The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea suddenly shouted. A crystalline, translucent water-blue Dao Pattern abruptly flew out from the back of the Great Sage.
At first glance, inside this water-blue Dao Pattern were countless intricate lines, seeming very chaotic, but upon closer scrutiny, each line seed naturally destined to be there.
Each line seed to have its own order!
"Not with your physical eyes, but view it with your Divine Soul Power!" the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea shouted once more.
Instantly, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power was ignited and, with the Great Sage’s permission, imrsed into the edges of this water-blue Dao Pattern.
In a flash, Ye Zhen saw a boundlessly magnificent water world. At the center of this water world stood the apparition of the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea. With the Great Sage’s extrely slow movents, transparent, densely populated virtual lines appeared among the water powers within the water world, affecting the entire water world!
The origin of these densely packed transparent virtual lines ca from within the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea. Just a single glance caused Ye Zhen to tremble all over.
Imdiately, he had an epiphany, oh, so this is how Water Control is accomplished!
As soon as Ye Zhen had this realization, his Black Dragon Martial Vein trembled lightly and inexplicably unsealed a small thread.
The extent of this voluntary unsealing of the Black Dragon Martial Vein was very small, possibly just one-thousandth, but this act of unsealing made Ye Zhen instantly understand one thing.
Unsealing the Black Dragon Martial Vein does not require relying solely on refining the Black Dragon Aura within the Dragon Alliance’s Black Dragon Banner. Comprehending the Water Dao Pattern can also lead to unsealing!
Furthermore, understanding the Water Dao and comprehending Dao Patterns seems to be the most orthodox thod of unsealing the Black Dragon Martial Vein; extracting and refining the Black Dragon Aura from the banner seed like deviating from the path.
In that split second, Ye Zhen instantly understood why there was an unusual activity in his Black Dragon Martial Vein upon arriving at the sea.
Because when he arrived at the sea and witnessed its majestic grandeur for the first ti, he unintentionally had so insight into the Water Dao, causing a slight unsealing and causing so abnormal activity in the Black Dragon Martial Vein.
Once Ye Zhen understood this, he fully imrsed himself in the evolution of the Water Dao Pattern intentionally demonstrated to him by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea.
For a mont, the Water Dao Pattern contained within the water world was ever-changing in various forms, showcasing exquisite thods of control. The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea revealed them one by one.
All of this made Ye Zhen stare wide-eyed, with his full spirit imrsed.
Initially, many aspects the Great Sage demonstrated were sowhat confusing to Ye Zhen, but as the Great Sage repeatedly evolved them, suddenly the previously unclear aspects beca integrated.
With each realization, Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Martial Vein would unseal a part either more or less!
And this observation made Ye Zhen feel that all Martial Skills he’d learned before were worthless here, only this Dao Pattern contained the truly profound Martial Arts.
Tis flies quickly while achieving enlightennt.
Ye Zhen and the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea sat silently face to face, with a continuously evolving water-blue Dao Pattern floating in front of them, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When the fourth day arrived, Ye Zhen suddenly moved, learning from the demonstration of the Great Sage within the Dao Pattern, beginning to validate on-site.
At first, the fluctuation of Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power was irregular, occasionally causing water currents to abruptly appear around him. Soon, the waterfall below the Sea Suppression Hall started intermittently ceasing its flow!
Boom!
Suddenly, with a flick of Ye Zhen’s finger, the Black Dragon Martial Vein slightly trembled, the waterfall beneath the Sea Suppression Hall violently reversed course, surging into the Sea Suppression Hall, pouring down drenching Ye Zhen and the Great Sage.
However, the outcos were different for both of them.
Ye Zhen was drenched like a drowned rat, while the Great Sage remained completely dry.
The Great Sage’s voice ca from within the Dao Pattern, "The Black Dragon Martial Vein is indeed exceptional, Fourth Brother mastered it so quickly.
In fact, the Divine Power Martial Skills cultivated before Vein Forging were ant to prepare for entering the Dao.
These Divine Power Martial Skills develop a ager Dao Pattern through various body movents and Spiritual Power operations, ultimately triggering a Killing Move!
Thus, once comprehending Dao Patterns, Divine Power Martial Skills seem crude and inferior!
What Martial Arts really are, are the simplest thods to stimulate the power of Dao Patterns!
After gaining insight from the Water Dao Patterns, Fourth Brother, rember these four words easily to forge your own unique Martial Arts, the Water Martial Way!"
"Which four words?" inquired Ye Zhen.
"Water Flow Ever Changing!"
"Water Flow Ever Changing?"
While contemplating these words, the Great Sage’s voice resonated again, "As long as you comprehend Dao Patterns and establish your own Water Martial Way, every move becos the most mysterious Martial Skill because it has reached the essence of Dao.
Of course, there are countless Water Dao Patterns, nearly innurable. What I will show you now is but a trivial part that I’ve comprehended, focusing on Water Control. I’ll demonstrate it once more, counting on your perception!" guided the Great Sage.
"Thank you, Second Brother!" Ye Zhen’s eyes were filled with gratitude, understanding well the sacrifice involved in allowing others to thoroughly comprehend one’s Dao Patterns.
Not to ntion, demonstrating it over and over again!
This small Water Dao Pattern took a day and a half to almost two days for the Great Sage to demonstrate each ti, and he was now beginning the third demonstration.
Once the Great Sage finished demonstrating this third ti the Water Dao Pattern he had understood, he tiredly withdrew the Dao Pattern and opened his eyes, "Fourth Brother, did you gain anything?"
Allowing close six days of continuous demonstration of Dao Patterns is demanding even for a Dao Entrance Realm Expert!
"Sowhat, though still refining comprehension," replied Ye Zhen.
"That’s good, I didn’t labor in vain. Focus on your enlightennt, I’ll leave now, no need to see off, don’t interrupt your comprehension!" Before the sound finished echoing, with a swish, the Great Sage’s figure vanished without a trace.
Ye Zhen then slowly closed his eyes, "This seems to still lack a bit of speed....."
Amid mumbling, Ye Zhen spread his fingers widely; dozens of black water lines erged from thin air, issued a series of astonishing slicing sounds with a slight movent.
They converged towards the center of the Sea Suppression Hall!
Buzz!
At the mont of convergence, the central void within the Sea Suppression Hall trembled violently, almost as if it were going to rupture, sending ripples like waves across the whole space, scattering out like splashes.
Suddenly, the newly erected walls of the vast Sea Suppression Hall imdiately showed many dense cracks! (To be continued.
