Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1317 - 11: The Soil King’s Theory of Four Seasons and the Theory of the Heavenly Time Universe, Qi Fortune Surges!
Mi Fei even considered giving this credit to someone else, for instance, letting Liu Tianning be the first to discuss the Dao.
However, Zhao Xing firmly opposed the crowd's opinion and directly confirmed his position.
"Alright." Mi Fei took a deep breath and, in order not to disappoint Zhao Xing, quickly adjusted his mindset.
The opening was still Zhao Xing speaking first: "Essence has no name, transforming gives it identity; essence encompasses all, transformation creates diversity. Encompassing without form, it is the single Qi named essence."
In discussing the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique, one must first talk about the theory of essence, and Zhao Xing opens by addressing what essence is.
"Essence is the beginning of all things, gathering creates divine mechanisms of myriad phenomena, dispersal leads to the dissipation of divine mechanisms."
The second segment extends the concept of essence to human beings.
"Its greatness is beyond boundaries, its minuteness without interior, chaotic and simple, harboring infinite vitality, like an embryo seed, nurturing the foundation of myriad paths..."
The third segment begins to elucidate the Dao of essence, progressing step by step, explaining Minister of Sinong Dao through essence.
"The Dao of the Minister of Sinong, heaven, earth, and man. One is born from the earth, life is suspended upon heaven, the amalgamation of heaven and earth is termed human."
"Combining Qi in cultivation, gathering essence as method, this is the foundation of cultivation."
Up to this point, it's still conventional, as the first realm of the ancient cultivation system is Gathering Essence, which advanced cultivators already thoroughly understand.
However, afterward, Zhao Xing shifts his discourse:
"Heavenly Earth Xuanhuang, the beginning of the great Dao, essence transforms the spirit, thus heaven and earth have two Qi."
"One Qi is called 'essence', the other Qi is called 'spirit'."
"Essence is the body, spirit is the function. Essence is like the stillness of the deep sea, the repository of the root; spirit is like the movement of waves, the manifestation of creation. All things in the world depend on these two to exist, this is the great Dao of heaven and earth."
At this point, it's no longer just the theory of essence, but a "theory of Qi" that includes spiritual energy, causing many to feel puzzled, though they listened patiently.
"Essence is the body, the root concealed within, Minister of Sinong gathers essence, builds the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge, trains Earth Evil, Heavenly Gang, Qi transforms into Pure Essence, thus creating Pure Essence Soil."
This is still normal, describing the Minister of Sinong's cultivation process through the four realms of Gathering Essence, Spirit Bridge, Earth Evil, and Heavenly Gang, finally entering the Pure Essence Realm, to cultivate Pure Essence Soil.
"Spiritual energy is function, the manifestation of creation, Xuanhuang Origin, spirit seizes the creation of heaven and earth into one's body. Where the inner view has no evil, heaven has no gang, pure essence is also formed."
"Together with Mi Fei, I created this method, called the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique."
At this point, even powerful beings like the Fog Walker felt completely bewildered.
However, the Yue Ying Daoist next to him listened with glowing eyes.
"Master Ancestor, did you understand?"
"Of course." The Yue Ying Daoist nodded, "In my time, there were still many places where the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had not dissipated, and the world had not declined. The Minister of Sinong could cultivate in such secret realms after completing the construction of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge."
"Skipping the process of training Heavenly Gang and Earth Evil, allowing the birth of Pure Essence Soil within."
"Is such a thing possible?" The Fog Walker was utterly astonished.
"But in our time, we only knew of such a phenomenon, and there was only a chance of birthing Pure Essence Soil, not a certainty."
"Zhao Chen'an elucidated the essence of the birth of Pure Essence Soil, entering through the theory of essence, telling you that it's because the Minister of Sinong undergoes the transformation of Earth Evil and Heavenly Gang to possess the conditions to generate Pure Essence Soil."
"Then he enters the discussion of spiritual energy from the theory of essence, claiming that spiritual energy can omit this process. Why can it be omitted? Because spiritual energy is the manifestation of creation."
"Of course, now he only talks about the Dao part, how to capture such creation is the 'method' of cultivation."
"He probably truly mastered such a spell." The Yue Ying Daoist's eyes shone with divine light: "The beginning of Shuoyuan, the birth of spiritual energy... the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique, what an extraordinary Xuanhuang Analysis Technique!"
"His willingness to preach to the world, even in my era, he could have started his own sect, an unparalleled genius!"
The Fog Walker didn't understand, but he could feel the old guy's appreciation for Divine Venerable Zhao: "Master Ancestor, now do you believe what I've told you, are you willing to support my plan?"
The Yue Ying Daoist already had made a decision in his heart, yet he still stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't rush, let's observe further."
After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he began to discuss the Dao with Mi Fei, further elaborating on the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique.
Mi Fei asked: "May I ask, Grand Minister of Agriculture, what is the difference between the spirit of spiritual energy and the spirit of a soul?"
Zhao Xing replied: "Please enlighten me, Mr. Mi."
Mi Fei then wrote a character in the air: "This is Ling."
Then he wrote another character: "This one is too."
Zhao Xing asked: "How do you interpret these two characters?"
Mi Fei replied: "The Rain Department represents rainfall, below are the three altars of tribute, corresponding to the three gods of heaven, earth, and man, namely Heavenly God, Earth God, and Ji God." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"What else?" Zhao Xing inquired again.
"The horizontal line in the middle represents a person, prostrating on the ground, grateful for the blessings of heaven and earth."
"The soil character below signifies the earth, indicating the completion of a cycle by spiritual energy."
Zhao Xing further asked: "What do you mean by rainfall?"
Mi Fei said: "It means that spiritual energy is not evident in the era, but outside the Xuanhuang Realm, there will be a great rain of spiritual energy, and humans can utilize it to gain the enlightenment of divine skills and ascend to the heavens."
Upon hearing this question and answer, Ji Che in the Tianxin Hall burst into laughter.
Oh, you Zhao Xing and Mi Fei, you're smuggling personal goods, advertising the great plan of my ascension!
