105: Chapter 106 Discussion at Yixin Pavilion

Shen Moyan suppressed the urge to flee.

He sat down opposite the tea table as instructed, highly alert, and said in a deep voice:

"True Person Linglong... no, Fellow Daoist of the Tianji Divine Sect, what is the meaning of this? Could it be that your sect..."

"Stop, stop!"

True Person Linglong waved her hand and pushed a cup of fragrant Spiritual Tea in front of him.

"Now is the time for discussing the Dao. Let's not talk about those matters of killing and scheming; how boring would that be?"

"By the way, here, I am called Xuanji, not True Person Linglong. We only discuss the Dao, not enmities."

"Also, I am not a member of the Tianji Divine Sect."

Shen Moyan was left completely bewildered.

If you're not from the Tianji Divine Sect, then why do you acknowledge Star Sign True Person as your Junior Brother?

"I know what you're thinking. It's just that Star Sign happened to find an Opportunity and coincidentally learned my Cultivation Technique, so of course he counts as a Junior Brother."

She propped her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Shen Moyan: "Looking at your Aura, it seems you have achieved Seeing Xiyi?"

Shen Moyan: "??"

This jump in topic was too fast.

And how did she know he had achieved Seeing Xiyi?

Could it have been calculated using a Tianji Divine Ability?

Shen Moyan's eyes grew solemn. At this moment, what True Person Linglong radiated was indeed only pure curiosity, without a hint of hostility or scheming.

Shen Moyan composed himself and decided to go along with her for now to see what she was really up to.

"I've gained a little, luckily catching a glimpse of the true meaning."

"Wow! Tell me quickly!"

True Person Linglong immediately leaned in closer, like a little girl hearing a novel story.

"What does the ultimate subtle actually feel like? Is it empty? Or is it full?"

"I've calculated it so many times, and every time the result is different. It's so annoying! My Revered Master said that thinking too much would break my brain, but I just want to know!"

Shen Moyan looked at the light in her eyes, which was pure to the point of being abnormal.

The feeling that "this person might have something wrong with her head" grew stronger in his heart.

A dignified grand Immortal Master, speaking in contradictions and acting like a childish girl?

Perhaps this was the difference between a Genius and a normal person.

For her to be treated with respect even by a True Lord, she must have her own extraordinary qualities.

Shen Moyan tried to organize his words to describe that state of touching nothingness after "Leaving All Forms".

Xuanji listened very seriously, sometimes having sudden realizations, sometimes frowning in thought, and sometimes interrupting to ask strange, seemingly whimsical questions.

"When 'Seeing Xiyi', is time sticky like honey, able to be stretched very, very long?"

"Tell me, does time even exist at all, or is it just our illusion..."

"Longevity is also just a scam..."

"No self-form—does that mean 'I' can turn into a butterfly? Or a star?"

Shen Moyan responded cautiously at first, but gradually discovered that although Xuanji's thinking was erratic and strange, every question she asked happened to hit upon points he himself had vaguely considered but never delved into.

Discussing the Dao with her actually felt like a fresh experience, constantly triggering new trains of thought.

It was just that her way of expression and mental state were a bit like those erratic students in a mundane private school.

The discussion lasted for several hours. Xuanji was occasionally full of witty remarks, her insights so profound that Shen Moyan was full of praise.

At other times, she would suddenly zone out, staring at a fish in the ocean or a cloud in the sky, muttering incomprehensible things to herself.

The sound of the heavenly wind and ocean waves was blocked by an invisible barrier, leaving only the faint sound of the green smoke rising from the incense burner.

Shen Moyan and True Person Linglong sat opposite each other.

"By the way, after saying so much, I forgot to ask why Fellow Daoist Shen came here?"

Shen Moyan's expression remained unchanged as he restated his purpose for coming.

"So Fellow Daoist is here to ascend to the Purple Mansion!"

Hearing this, True Person Linglong cleared her throat, her gaze becoming solemn for the first time, and her surrounding Aura changed.

"Fellow Daoist Shen has certainly found the right person. Forget about Seven Stars Prefecture, even looking at this Court of Three Thousand Prefectures, no one understands the Purple Mansion better than I do!"

"Right, in the ancient Mountain and Sea, when the Immortal Path existed, the equivalent to the Purple Mansion Realm was..."

"The Golden Core Realm?" Shen Moyan blurted out.

"Exactly! It's the Golden Core Realm!" True Person Linglong became excited.

She coughed lightly, as if imitating someone, and spoke calmly in an extremely serious tone.

"The ancient Immortal Path emphasized spiritual items and Opportunity. Cultivators needed to find Heaven and Earth spiritual items and rare treasures, using external objects as a guide to refine a mass of immortal Golden Nature within the Dantian's Spiritual Root, forming a 'Golden Core'."

"Once the Golden Core is formed, one can automatically absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. True essence becomes vast and enduring, and Lifespan is greatly increased."

"As long as the Golden Core is not destroyed, it is difficult for the Cultivator to die."

"But relying too much on external objects and Spiritual Mechanics, the quality of the Golden Core is limited by the grade of the spiritual items and the Cultivation Technique. The path ahead is nearly fixed. To become a Nascent Soul, one must shatter the core to form the soul, which is exceptionally dangerous." Then her tone shifted.

"The current Twisted Immortal Path does not cultivate the Spiritual Root but opens Spiritual Veins. Within the Purple Mansion Realm, one opens a universe, establishing their own Laws. This originates from the dao transmission stele and emphasizes comprehension and definition."

"Cultivators do not need to seek specific spiritual items externally. Instead, within the Sea of Consciousness, they resonate with Dao Rhymes, condensing their own understanding of the Dao to open a Xumi Space, which can also be expanded and transformed into a Domain, namely the Purple Mansion."

"It is like creating a world within Chaos, establishing internal rules."

"It does not rely on external things and places more weight on the Cultivator's own Comprehension Ability and Heart-Nature."

"The Purple Mansion is one's own Domain, which can continuously expand and improve as comprehension deepens, possessing infinite potential."

"But this method has extremely high requirements for the Dao Heart. If comprehension is insufficient or the Dao Heart is unstable, there is a risk of the Purple Mansion collapsing."

Comparing the two paths of Xian, Shen Moyan fell into thought.

"What about Divine Abilities?" he suddenly asked.

"The Purple Mansion is the manifestation of the Dao Foundation and the Origin of Divine Abilities," True Person Linglong responded seriously.

"If the Mansion is not formed, the Laws are not solid. Divine Abilities are like trees without roots; even with a brilliant and stunning rhyme, they are difficult to sustain and may even backfire on the user."

Shen Moyan knew that if he constructed a Purple Mansion, his Innate Divine Ability would no longer consume his life.

"Everything in Heaven and Earth has Dao Rhymes flowing through it."

"The Dharmic power condensed by Cultivators through Qi Gathering and Mortal Transformation is actually an aggregation of Dao Rhymes that fit their own Dao."

"The Purple Mansion is an internal universe opened in the void, based on the Dao Rhymes of one's own body."

"Therefore, constructing a Purple Mansion is not simply about piling up Dharmic power, but using one's core Dao Rhyme as the warp and woof to draw and govern the thousands of Dao Rhymes throughout the body, making each find its place and fulfill its role, forming an internally harmonious and sustainable cycle."

As she spoke, she waved her fair hand, and the entire ceiling of the Yixin Pavilion turned into a vast sea of stars.

"This cycle must be as stable as a mountain to bear the weight of Divine Abilities, yet as fluid as water to respond to their changes."

True Person Linglong casually moved a star, and the sea of stars above actually changed because of the shift in a single star's trajectory, turning into a star-swirl and forming multiple spiral arms to maintain stability.

"And the most important part is to use the 'Innate' to define the universe."

She pointed to the brightest stars at the top of the pavilion; those were seven stars, which were also True Person Linglong's Innate.

"A Cultivator must understand their heart and see their nature, thoroughly comprehending the root of their own Dao path."

"One enters the Mansion with this fundamental Dao Rhyme, letting it sit in the center to govern all rhymes."

With those seven stars guarding and the other stars surrounding them, each fulfilled its role.

"The remaining Dao Rhymes, according to their nature and principles, either become mountains and rivers to define the layout, or rivers and peaks to connect the Qi veins, or stars to arrange the mysteries."

"Those that generate each other live as neighbors, complementing one another. Those that conflict are not absolutely excluded; they can be mediated by higher-level Dao Rhymes to harmonize the center, turning conflict into utility, which instead increases the resilience and potential of the Mansion's Foundation."

"So, besides the Innate Divine Ability, based on the depth of the Dao Rhyme, other condensed Divine Abilities are divided into Minor, Middling, and Major Divine Abilities."

"For instance, third-realm Sword Cultivators can fight enemies across realms because a single strand of their Sword Intent is, at the very least, comparable to a Minor Divine Ability."

Shen Moyan realized that the Dao Rhyme of the Heavenly Demon and the Dao Rhyme of the jade might also be compatible.

His own Startling Swan Glance, in terms of the depth of its Dao Rhyme, could perhaps be ranked as a Minor Divine Ability.

"But the more an Innate Divine Ability defies common logic, the more demanding the requirements for the Purple Mansion Foundation. If the Foundation is unstable, the Divine Ability is like a grand mansion built on quicksand; it will collapse in an instant."

True Person Linglong waved her hand, and those seven stars dimmed, causing the other stars to fall into Chaos.

Shen Moyan memorized the trajectories of these starlights and slowly nodded.

Reviewing what True Person Linglong had said and repeatedly comparing the two paths of Xian in his mind, Shen Moyan's expression became increasingly strange.

"Golden Core, Purple Mansion..."

The spiritual items for the Golden Core come from Heaven and Earth.

As for the Dao Rhymes of the Purple Mansion, it's said that the Innate originates from the Cultivator themselves and other Dao Rhymes are resonant, but if one looks deeper, they are still what the Cultivator perceives from Heaven and Earth and understands through introspection.

"So, can the Purple Mansion cast by people in this world resonate with any Dao Rhyme as long as the cycle within the Domain is ensured?"

Shen Moyan posed this question.

True Person Linglong smiled upon hearing this.

"Of course, but with the exception of Demon Seeds; no one wants to be associated with those things."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Shen Moyan's consciousness went to the death exemption gold plaque in the Qing Ming Space.

Should he take a big gamble?

Anyway, that person isn't in the Mountain and Sea.

If he could resonate with the Emperor's Dao Rhyme, perhaps he could carry his own Eternal Dao Rhyme.

If things went smoothly, he might even be able to comprehend a Major Divine Ability.
