179: Chapter 179 Are you talking to me?

As Fairy Luo Hua's voice fell, the Lotus of World Purification in her hand slowly floated into the Void Realm, gradually transforming into a sky-obscuring giant lotus, from which different Dao auras emanated.

"These are fragments of Dao prototypes left by successive Great Emperors of my Yaochi Emperor Sect; the Daos are compatible and can resonate with each other."

"Today, let's see if your understanding of the Dao can gain a trace of recognition. Please begin."

Within the Yaochi Immortal River, everyone was eager to try, but no one went first. If there was no reaction with the Dao in the Emperor Lotus, wouldn't they become a laughingstock?

Every Genius present was renowned in their respective regions; they couldn't afford to lose face.

Thus, everyone looked towards those on the central lotus platform. With those few present, it wouldn't be their turn to lead the charge.

Seeing this, Fairy Luo Hua smiled slightly, "Since that is the case, as the host, I, this Emperor Daughter, shall offer a humble example to demonstrate for everyone."

After speaking, she flew to the front of the Emperor Lotus. Spiritual Qi surged around her, and the river water, composed of Spiritual Qi in the Immortal River, immediately flowed into the Void Realm, circling around her.

"My Dao lies in inclusion. The sea embraces all rivers, and its capacity makes it vast; the Dao is also thus. It does not reject the lowliness of grass and trees, yet it can contain the sun, moon, and stars; it does not repel violent thunder, yet it can accommodate the gentleness of fine rain."

"Just like water, it can transform into any shape, yet it remains water, so it can contain all forms, which is the true essence of the Great Dao."

As she spoke, Fairy Luo Hua gently waved her right hand, and a curtain of water appeared in the Void Realm. Grass, trees, stars, thunder, and fine rain appeared simultaneously, not conflicting, but forming a cohesive whole.

"Om ~"

From within the Emperor Lotus, a ripple suddenly emanated. A Dao prototype, transparent like water, shot out from it, enveloping Fairy Luo Hua, and an aura of encompassing all things filled the heavens and earth.

"As expected of the Yaochi Emperor Daughter, she easily gained the Dao's recognition. Such a heart to embrace everything is truly magnificent." Those on the surrounding Dao platforms all praised her, their eyes filled with admiration.

Jiang Xuan, seated, raised a cup of fine wine. Hearing Fairy Luo Hua's understanding of the Dao, he shook his head, "Naive."

... In Yaochi Imperial City, within a thousand-meter cloud layer, stood two women: one charming, the other noble and sacred. Xuan Yuan Jin Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your Emperor Daughter is quite good, isn't she? Such Heart-Nature at such a young age."

"The Dao prototype that resonated with her, its original owner also seemed to possess the Yaochi Sacred Body. Now that the Heavenly Dao has recovered and a great era is descending, it seems your Yaochi will gain another Empress in the future."

The noble woman beside her shook her head. The jade beads hanging from the Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun hairpin above her head swayed left and right, "This is not necessarily a good thing."

After speaking, her Phoenix eyes glanced at Jiang Xuan below, a thoughtful look in her gaze.

"Clap clap clap."

At this moment, applause rang out. Mo Yun stood up from his seat, the predatory intent in his eyes completely undisguised, "Fairy Luo Hua's views on the Dao are indeed unique; this Dao Child is utterly captivated."

Seeing the other party's wolf-like gaze, Fairy Luo Hua frowned tightly and said coldly, "Dao Child Mo Yun overpraises me." After speaking, she descended from the air, no longer paying him any attention.

A hint of gloom flashed in Mo Yun's eyes, "Hmph! What's with the pretense of purity? This Dao Child will conquer you sooner or later!"

Looking up at the sky-obscuring giant lotus high in the sky, Mo Yun's expression was arrogant. He glanced back at Jiang Xuan, secretly competing in his heart, "Jiang Xuan, although your talent is unparalleled, this Dao Child may not necessarily lose to you in understanding the Dao!"

"Hehe, today, I will step on your Young Emperor title to spread the name of Mo Yun!"

"Whoosh!"

His figure flashed through the Void Realm, and Mo Yun arrived in front of the Emperor Lotus, his tone arrogant, "The Dao this Dao Child comprehends is the Heavenly Dao's order!"

Order is established by the Heavenly Dao, governing everything in the world. Follow it and live, defy it and die. No one can go against the Heavenly Dao's order.

Mo Yun's expression was arrogant, his gaze fixed on Fairy Luo Hua, "Just as Fairy Luo Hua said about inclusion, it is also within the Heavenly Dao's order."

Subsequently, he looked at Jiang Xuan, his eyes full of provocation, "All things in the world should be in their proper place and follow order. If they violate the rules, they will surely be rejected by the Heavenly Dao."

"This is the iron law of the Great Dao!"

"Buzz buzz...!"

As Mo Yun's last word fell, several rays of light instantly shot out from the Emperor Lotus, surrounding Mo Yun. Waves of faint Heavenly Dao pressure permeated the entire world.

Mo Yun stood in the Void Realm, Dao prototypes circling around him, his gaze playfully watching Jiang Xuan, a cold sneer in his heart, "Heh heh, this Dao Child respects the Heavenly Dao. Is there anything stronger than the Heavenly Dao in this world? Jiang Xuan, from the very beginning, you lost."

He was quite pleased in his heart. Even if Jiang Xuan were to speak of the Heavenly Dao, he had spoken first. Everyone would only say that Jiang Xuan stole someone else's fruits. By then, his reputation as a Young Emperor would be completely ruined.

No matter what, he was in an unbeatable position.

Below, Man Dali's expression was strange. He said to Jiang Xuan and the others, "How come I feel like this guy isn't discussing the Dao, but rather flattering the Heavenly Dao?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately found it amusing. Nangong Aotian even burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Brother Dali, you're right, he's just flattering."

Man Dali scratched his head, "Hehe, then he's flattering the wrong target. What's the Heavenly Dao? If he's going to flatter, he should flatter the boss."

Hearing this, everyone immediately laughed. In the distance, Li Tianming's expression was disdainful, his gaze towards Mo Yun full of mockery.

Although he also owed the Heavenly Dao a favor, their relationship was merely cooperative. According to Mo Yun, they were subordinates, servants, of the Heavenly Dao.

For a time, no one in the entire Heavenly River went up to discuss the Dao. Since the Heavenly Dao had been brought out, who would dare to go up?

Except for Jiang Xuan and Li Tianming and others, everyone else largely agreed with Mo Yun's words. In this world, the Heavenly Dao was the one in charge. You wouldn't want to be suddenly struck by lightning during a Breakthrough, would you?

Seeing that no one else was coming forward, Mo Yun approached Jiang Xuan, feigning a posture of seeking guidance, but his eyes held a playful glint, "Young Emperor's talent is unparalleled in the continent, and his strength is the pinnacle among the younger generation. Surely his own understanding of the Dao is unmatched."

"Why not let us witness it? The Dao the Young Emperor believes in will surely benefit everyone greatly."

After speaking, his gaze was fixed on Jiang Xuan, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

When everyone heard this, they didn't think too much, their eyes filled with intense anticipation. They also wanted to know the Young Emperor's understanding of the Dao, hoping it might bring them some insights.

For a moment, everyone's gaze turned towards Jiang Xuan. Although Ling Yu Fan and the others beside him wished they could go up and tear Mo Yun apart, at this moment, they also wanted to hear what Dao was in Jiang Xuan's heart.

Seeing that Jiang Xuan was slow to speak, Mo Yun became even more smug, convinced that Jiang Xuan couldn't articulate any Dao, and his words became even more aggressive.

"The Young Emperor's prolonged silence, is it perhaps that he finds what we have said to be false, or does he not wish to share the Dao in his heart with everyone?"

"If that is the case, we have nothing more to say and will not force it."

In his seat, Jiang Xuan raised his hand and drained the fine wine in his cup, nodding in satisfaction. Then, his gaze surprisingly fell on Mo Yun, as if he had only just noticed him, and he paused, then asked in confusion, "Are you talking to me?"
