257: Chapter 257 Tianhe's Discourse on the Dharma, The Mystery of Metal Nature, Profound Qi? Profound Qi

He immediately sensed the aura of a purification intent that felt close to him on a futon near the inner three rings of Daoist Master Tianhe. The other futons also displayed various auras and intents. Realizing that these were deliberate arrangements, he quickly went over and sat down on the futon with the purification intent.

Those arranged in the inner three rings were all individuals of profound cultivation, of the Heavenly River Lineage, or holding important positions.

Some cultivators looked at Li Mingxiao in surprise, but upon sensing that purification intent, they understood and went back to closing their eyes to cultivate in peace.

Within half a day, besides the cultivators of the Dao Foundation system, the Transcendent Lives of other systems had also all arrived.

However, since the time had not yet come and Daoist Master Tianhe had not spoken, no one dared to converse casually. Everyone calmed their minds, nurtured their spirit, and closed their eyes to wait.

*Clang~~*

Three days flew by. An ancient bell hanging under the eaves of the [Guitian Array Domain Tower] rang without being struck, signaling that the time for preaching the Dharma had indeed arrived.

Wang An also opened his eyes at this moment. A brilliant golden light drifted deep within his Dharma Eye, seemingly carrying an aura of immortality.

Now, through his continuous arrangements over the past few decades, he had finally established a deep ecological connection between the Heavenly River Water and all living beings on the three planets. This stimulated his Dharma nature to sprout, becoming the first Golden Nature he had condensed.

Unlike the [Yuanqi Five Immortals Three Talents Cycle Nature], which lacked actual ecological support and had weak law power,

Wang An had connected all the spiritual items represented by the laws of the [Primeval Qi Six Methods Tianhe Venerable Unity Property], which was supported by a physical foundation and was a truly powerful Golden Nature.

With two Golden Natures in his possession, it was equivalent to obtaining two points of high-grade Golden Core status. His control over his own authority was far beyond what other path powerhouses who had only condensed the profound meanings of laws could compare to.

At this moment, Wang An spoke slowly, accompanied by a mysterious Dao voice that flowed into the [Six Laws Heavenly River] and was transmitted to every living being listening by the spiritual water.

“The Heavenly River is a river of boundless stars. It is water, it is stars, it is the cosmic world, it is energy, and it is also the path of life and death.”

“I use the [Primeval Qi Six Methods Tianhe Venerable Unity Property] to unify 108 kinds of water-attribute innate Wondrous Qi and 3,600 types of Heaven and Earth water Qi, each displaying its own method, determined according to the law.”

“Since the birth of the Golden Nature, laws have descended upon the world, and the Dao rhyme has become dense. Those who pursue the path of water can use water-attribute Qi alone to refine wonders and build their Dao, becoming water-attribute cultivators.”

Then, with a wave of Wang An's hand, his Purple Mansion Magic Power transformed at will, displaying countless spell variations before the eyes of the cultivators. How much they could comprehend would depend on their own fortune.

“Those who comprehend the water dharma can bridge life and death, shift the Dao Foundation, gather stars, and bestow sweet rain upon all.”

Some comprehended the dharma of vitality and the power of death; some understood the principles of stellar birth; some felt their Dao Foundations were not fully compatible and sensed the ritual of stellar shifting; some harbored compassion and realized the intent of world-succession.

Even in the distant vacuum of space, the four mid-tier powerhouses were deeply immersed in the mysteries of this [Heavenly River Dharma Sutra], unable to extricate themselves.

At the Pluto Interstellar Civilization Exchange, interstellar entities such as corporations, chambers of commerce, and small academies of other civilized races stopped their work one by one to listen to the Dao rhyme transmitted from the [Six Laws Heavenly River] surrounding Pluto.

Even though some did not understand the language of the Black Iron Human Race, this kind of Dao sound was no longer restricted to ordinary syllable transmission. Those who harbored goodwill toward the human race would naturally sense infinite laws and knowledge.

...

This sermon lasted for a whole month. The cultivation of the water dharma at every stage, from Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, to the Purple Mansion, was analyzed in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

Fortunately, in interstellar society, most work was handled by robots and intelligent agents, so suspending work for a few months was not a major issue.

As Wang An explained, he was also sorting out his own Heavenly River Water system. While countless living beings comprehended this Dao cultivation knowledge, the new knowledge and laws they gained by analogy were absorbed by the [Primeval Qi Six Methods Tianhe Venerable Unity Property] for its growth.

After the audience departed, he continued to organize his gains.

He sank his mind into his inner landscape to comprehend the abilities of this Golden Nature. Besides the authority inherent in the original laws and the single point of Golden Core status, after the Golden Nature absorbed the 108 kinds of water-attribute Wondrous Qi and a portion of the water-attribute Dao Foundation intents, a higher-nature Qi was quietly born within the Golden Nature spore.

“Is this profound qi? No, it should be Profound Qi.”

The faint water law contained within it surprised Wang An greatly.

“No wonder I experimented with countless methods before but could never refine a higher-grade Qi. The gap between them is truly as vast as heaven and abyss.”

Now that Wang An had the Heavenly River Water Golden Nature supported by true laws, its power was naturally much stronger than the Five Immortals Golden Nature he had obtained before, which was like an 'empty husk of grain'.

“My Golden Nature Profound Refining Method requires at least 108 kinds of water-attribute Wondrous Qi, and each kind of Wondrous Qi requires 108 strands. Thus, each strand of Wondrous Qi requires 108 wisps of Heaven and Earth Qi to be refined. In seven years, only one strand of Profound Qi can be refined. As for the intents, there's no need to absorb others; the intent of the Golden Nature itself is the best material.”

“Afterward, combining 36 wisps makes a low-grade profound qi, which can establish a water-attribute divine ability. 72 is mid-grade, and 108 is high-grade. However, these uses are suitable for cultivators who cannot refine Purple Mansion Divine Abilities, or as a substitute to force a breakthrough when stuck at a certain divine ability.”

“Of course, using high-grade status items like this is simply a waste of heavenly resources.”

Indeed, estimating by Wang An's current Dao cultivation and status, this profound qi was a resource that only high-stage Golden Core True Monarchs could fully control.

“If I am not mistaken, the Golden Core Fruit Status also needs to be constructed using some extremely high-quality profound qi. True profound qi is a divine ability condensed from laws, and divine abilities build upon each other with Golden Natures to form the Fruit Status, hanging high in the Great Void.”

Though it was a guess, even if there were errors, given that Wang An currently carried the destiny of an entire extraordinary system, any deviations would evolve into a corrective method under the propulsion of destiny.

“Moreover, judging by the phenomena displayed when those high-stage lords appear, the sublimation of the Dharma Body into the Dharma Aspect also requires the cultivation of these profound qi to possess the ability to cross the sea of stars and grasp stars and pluck moons.”

He continued to deduce further by combining his known knowledge and status.

“It is clearly mentioned in the 'Galaxy Almanac' that high-stage material influence capabilities cover entire planets. A Dharma Aspect constructed from such pure energy and laws is indeed more logical.”

Unlike a complete physical and technological world, the pure output energy level of some high-stage existences might not be as high as planetary Star-Destroyer Cannons or galaxy-destroying technological weapons.

However, lifeforms of the first rank or higher in the extraordinary system all involve extraordinary laws.

Once pure technological weapons come into contact with these law radiations, it is extremely easy for their internal matter to be altered. Just like that second-rank extraordinary battleship that entered the Qingxu Heaven, had it not been protected by special equipment, it would have also turned into a pile of scrap metal due to the erosion of alien laws.
