Chapter 1282: Chapter 483: Sky Dome White Jade City (Part 3)

Zhou Xuan and Yun Ziliang discussed Taoism, while also having a relaxed feeling as if chatting with old friends and arranging a Dragon Gate Formation. However, the painter, music master, Guan Niang, Peng Sheng... all old friends, slowly gathered around.

The painter chuckled and said, "Mr., your current understanding of cultivation far surpasses ours; we also want to come and listen to the lecture."

"Mr., we want to improve too." The music master said with a smile.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Zhou Xuan is only at the level of Seven Incense Sticks now,

yet he has received the true teachings of the Tao Ancestor and the Sword Spirit of Wuwen Mountain. When the Heavenly Book condenses, he can rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture; when the colorful play emerges, he can embody the Supreme Will.

Such an individual, his comprehension and attainment in cultivation can no longer be measured by the "Incense Fire Level."

When he talks about the Tao, others naturally want to come and listen carefully. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Zhou Xuan nodded to everyone and continued his topic, saying, "The so-called domineering strength is merely based on the strong bullying the weak... Domineering people suppress those who are not domineering enough.

Take you, Lao Yun, as an example, why do you hide the Big Dragon but not the Ancestor Dragon in your Hidden Dragon?"

Yun Ziliang thought for a moment and had to admit helplessly, "My domineering aura can’t suppress the Ancestor Dragon."

"This is precisely what I want to say." Zhou Xuan said: "Human strength has its limits, and so does domineering strength. No matter how great the talent and domineering nature are, in this world, there are always mountains, waters, earth, and dragons that you cannot suppress,

If you forcibly suppress them, it’s still manageable when your level is low, but once your level is high, one day you’ll face a backlash."

"If one doesn’t follow the domineering path, what should one follow then?" Yun Ziliang asked.

"It’s not about not being domineering, but rather having gentle persuasion within domination; domination without gentleness is simply brute force,

Having gentleness within domination means solidifying power while possessing virtue; a gentleman is like water, flowing into every gap, entering everything, and controlling everything,

With this kind of gentle domination, then all under heaven would return to the heart, and all under heaven would return to Ren."

This realization of Zhou Xuan was largely derived from the domineering nature within the "Supreme Will."

The Supreme Will can manipulate heaven, earth, and stars, but each manipulation relies on the heart of the world’s lord.

The other part of the realization comes from Jing Country’s "Seventeenth Route Stance"—’All Under Heaven Return to Ren Stance.’

"Gentleness within domination, all under heaven return to Ren."

Yun Ziliang silently recited these words and couldn’t help but clap his hands with joy, saying, "Xuanzi, brilliant, brilliant."

The others also entered into contemplation, combining Zhou Xuan’s words with their observations of the divine sword’s power in the "All Under Heaven Return to Ren Stance," carefully comprehending it.

On a more distant mountain, the incense fire Taoist and the butcher stood side by side.

They came up the mountain once the alchemy began.

From a high vantage point, it was more convenient for them to protect Zhou Xuan during alchemy, and at this moment, the butcher was scratching his head and throat, trying hard to listen to what Zhou Xuan was saying.

Even the incense fire Taoist couldn’t look at him anymore and said, "Little Butcher, if you really want to listen, just go up and listen openly. There’s a saying in the world, ’Ask without shame,’ so ask Zhou Housheng about the cultivation method, it’s not embarrassing."

"I won’t ask, I just want to listen."

The butcher managed to finish listening to Zhou Xuan’s insights and then smiled broadly, saying, "Old Incense, our new disciple of Wuwen Mountain is not an ordinary person. After striking out the Seventeen Stances, he has a clear understanding of returning to Ren,

knows the reason and the result, Zhou Xuan is a great talent."

"Tell me something I don’t know."

The incense fire Taoist looked displeased. In his view, the butcher looked up to Zhou Xuan because of such a trivial thing, which ironically underestimated Zhou Xuan.

"A little incense fire Tao insight, some cultivation insights, for Zhou Xuan’s aspirations, are just a drop in the ocean, the least worth mentioning."

"It seems like you know something?" The butcher frowned and asked.

"Of course, I know."

"Then tell me." The butcher prepared to listen carefully.

The incense fire Taoist smiled and said, "Besides the unparalleled sword technique, the most powerful method of your Wuwen Mountain is nothing more than using sacrificial incense spirits and fire insects to strip your opponent’s incense level."

"Hmph, this is just a minor path in my eyes; I am only passionate about the peerless sword momentum."

"How you think doesn’t matter, but this power of stripping the incense level is indeed the reason the Heavenly Fire Clan of the Sky Dome can be so high up."

The incense fire Taoist said, "Zhou Xuan has already made up his mind to use Alchemy Dao to find a new source of power for the myriad hall disciples in Jing Country’s human realm."

"What?!"

"When our disciples in the human realm of Jing Country no longer rely on the incense power—then the ’Insect Dao’ of the Sky Dome’s Heavenly Fire Clan will pose no threat to Jing Country; Jing Country will usher in a completely new era."

"Zhou Xuan actually has such ambition?" The butcher was quite shocked and surprised.

"You must be surprised. When I last heard Zhou Housheng speak his mind, I was just as you are now."

The incense fire Taoist stroked his beard and said, "I await the arrival of that day."

"When that day comes... the Heavenly God Level of Jing Country..."

"When the human realm no longer fears the Heavenly Fire Clan, the Heavenly Gods will have no reason to stay dormant... All the Heavenly God Levels will awaken. If the Heavenly Fire Clan sends people to fight in the human realm, I fear the ones who might shy away from the fight will be them."

"Lower your voice, lower your voice, people from Bai Yujing have arrived."

The butcher reminded.

Zhou Xuan refines elixirs, using the power of elixirs to replace the source of incense, breaking free from the constraints of the Heavenly Fire Clan. This is an extremely great vision, also the morning star during Jing Country’s dark age,

but this morning star needs to be well protected, for now, the Heavenly Fire Clan is still powerful.

"The morning star that awakens the darkness cannot be extinguished."

The butcher reminded, and the incense fire Taoist also paused. He looked up and saw, in the position to the west of the Bright Moon, a palace in the clouds.

The palace was snow-white, like jade, with twelve layers in total, and a palace lantern was lit on each corner of the eaves.

The fire of the palace lanterns was five-colored, and this was the Sky Dome’s heavenly fire.

The Heavenly Fire Clan, it was rumored, was born beside the heavenly fire.

"It really is the people from Bai Yujing."

The incense fire Taoist said, "These people from Bai Yujing are even less productive and lazier than other lower-class members of the Heavenly Fire Clan, but tonight, they have all come to watch Zhou Housheng’s alchemy."

"The effects of heavenly elixirs are getting worse and worse, a truly talented Dan Officer is someone even Bai Yujing covets."

The butcher gazed at Bai Yujing, and his eyes almost leaked fire—the calamity of Wuwen Mountain could not be separated from Bai Yujing.

"I can’t forget that night when Bai Yujing appeared, the Tunnel Armor Sect, night, stained Wuwen Mountain with blood."

The butcher tried hard to suppress his hatred; he still needed to endure, as the current strength of Wuwen Mountain could not deal with Bai Yujing or the Capital Mansion.

The Capital Mansion was originally a magic artifact of Jing Country, and the Earth Child was in the Capital Mansion, so the butcher couldn’t do anything about the Earth Child.

...

"The lords of Bai Yujing are also watching this alchemy session, Zhou Xuan’s occasion today is quite large."

Tiancan Monk, seeing the appearing Bai Yujing, said to the Eternal Life Sect Leader.

"Old Can, why can’t you learn?"

The Eternal Life Sect Leader said, "I hope in the future I will no longer hear ’Zhou Xuan’ from your mouth; you should change your address to call him ’Lord Zhou.’"

"..." Tiancan Monk looked at the Eternal Life Sect Leader, utterly unexpected that the leader would be so pragmatic.

Tiancan Monk also reminded, "Leader, Zhou Xuan has yet to refine a good elixir."

"Ninety-nine percent, a good elixir will be refined." The Eternal Life Sect Leader said.

"What makes you so sure?" Tiancan Monk couldn’t understand...
