Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1320 - 12: Earth King’s Four Seasons, Cosmic Heavenly Time, Observing Mountains and Comprehending the Dao, All Beings Worship the Saint!_3

The Fog Walker slowly caught up with the train of thought. "Shouldn't this be classified under the unpredictable 'guest energy'?"

Yue Ying, the Daoist, was so angry that his nose was slightly crooked. He pointed to the Fog Walker's head: "With your comprehension, you really can only be a temporary sect master. In our era, you wouldn't even qualify as an elder!"

The Fog Walker felt deep resentment in his heart. That old thing was flaunting his age, always talking about our era, always saying that each generation is worse than the last. It made him feel like an ignorant child.

"Even as a substitute sect master, I'm still the master. Can you show some respect, please?!"

He very much wanted to give the old thing a knock on the head, but changed his words at the last moment:

"Yes, yes, you're right, please enlighten me."

Yue Ying helped him recollect: "Previously, he and Mi Fei debated about the difference between 'ling' and 'spiritual energy'."

"What we usually refer to as spiritual energy is used for spell cultivation. Actually, it should be referred to as 'ling energy'."

"Another type of spiritual energy is the 'qi of living beings'!"

"Spiritual energy has always existed. It gives life its spiritual wisdom, which explains the concept of spiritual energy hiding the divine and not the physical."

"This also explains why spiritual energy is one of the six primary energies!"

The Fog Walker suddenly realized: "So that's it! No wonder the two souls of heaven and earth always reside externally. If they were internal, whether it's the fusion of martial artists or the soul capturing of the magic dao, it would be the Rule Realm."

"Breaking through to the Rule Realm, this happens frequently during the Spiritual Energy Era, not commonly in the Primordial Qi Era."

"Correct." Yue Ying nodded, "When I awakened, I was just in the Fate Palace Realm, but quickly regained the strength of the Rule Realm because I had already hidden the spirit within the body in the past."

"As long as there's ling energy for me to absorb, I can quickly recover my strength."

"Dao and spells, spells and principles, are all crucial guides for cultivation. Zhao Tianzun willingly shared these things without charge. In our time, that would have been..."

"A rare opportunity, right?" The Fog Walker had learned to chime in.

"Exactly!" Yue Ying sighed deeply: "Where was such a good thing before? Listening to a powerful figure explaining the dao demanded great effort or just good fortune."

"Otherwise, who would spoon-feed you the knowledge?"

...

"Absolutely right, absolutely right!"

"Our corpse storage fee wasn't paid in vain!"

Changsun Gui's two body vessels trembled, and he, along with several elders of the Corpse Puppet Sect, listened with rapt attention.

Many past confusions in cultivation were suddenly cleared at this moment.

"Zhao Tianzun is truly an unparalleled genius!" Changsun Gui began frantically praising Zhao Xing.

Of course, another reason he did so was that Zhao Xing had spared him once in the Purple God Relics.

Back then, to let the Fog Walker go, Zhao Xing released many people on the Gulu Star, and Changsun Gui was among them. He was the Minister of Agriculture of the Corpse Puppet Sect.

"It was worth coming all this way, paying so much money to the Great Zhou, and waiting several months... This trip was worthwhile!"

...

On the Divine Wood Debate Platform, Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen were also deep in thought.

The Ministers of Agriculture in the Great Zhou only understood the primordial energy tide based on two perceptions: one as a natural disaster and the other as an opportunity.

The Heavenly Time Sect's Agriculture research, led by Wang Tianzhi, stood in stark contrast to Ling Tianchen's position.

Ling Tianchen believed the primordial energy tide represented a change in guest energy, viewing it as a super large-scale change affecting the entire Xuanhuang Realm, occurring once every countless millennia!

Thus, it should rightfully be classified within the scope of 'guest energy'.

Wang Tianzhi held a different perspective, thinking Zhao Xing's introduction of the primordial energy tide concept, along with its identification as a prelude to the Spiritual Energy Era and imminent entry into the Ascension Era.

Therefore, the changes brought by the primordial energy tide would become a stable norm.

What is the basis for this? It is that super-grade realms will become common, not just achievable by a limited few.

Since the rules and the two realms of path (ascension) become commonplace, the primordial energy tide should be included among the six primary energies.

But explaining its essence remained a perplexing issue, and now Zhao Xing provided an answer.

Spiritual energy has always existed, whereas ling energy is relatively rare, only found in certain secret places within the Xuanhuang Realm, such as the Dragon Court Ancient Land or Southern Barbarians.

"In the universe, Taiyin and the Taiyin Star create the division of the twenty-four solar terms." Having started the explanation, Zhao Xing elaborated further in this direction.

Holding a Taoist conference, aside from announcing the Xuanhuang Analysis Technique and attracting people to the Great Zhou to enhance qi fortune.

His aim was also to unite the Three Sects, certainly not allowing the Self Sect to dominate alone, as it would contradict his initial intentions.

"Yin Yang twenty-four solar terms, dividing them into the six qi six steps, with the Great Cold Day of the Great Zhou as the starting point, following the sequential generation of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water."

"Each step lasts sixty days and eighty-seven and a half moments. If extending the scale of heavenly time, just multiply the factor."

"When a particular qi governs, it will manifest characteristics related to that of the Five Elements."

"If viewed from the epoch perspective, the primordial energy tide occurs frequently, and it is naturally a form of regular change."

Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, and others pondered deeply, as this seemed to delve further, diverging somewhat from their original understanding of the 'Three Yin and Three Yang Six Qi Great Cycle Theory'.

"Wang Tianzhi inquired of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, considering the primordial energy tide from the Da Zhou Era perspective as a regular change, is there also a concept of great four seasons?"

Zhao Xing smiled and nodded, acknowledging that Old Wang's comprehension was indeed reliable, worthy of being the second best for millennia. He was just born in the wrong era; otherwise, being the Grand Minister of Agriculture would have posed no difficulties for him.
