Chapter 267: Chapter 128 True Transmission (2/3)The essence of a Divine Abnormality... Isn’t it just a special organ that allows a person to activate special abilities? An Jing fell silent for a while, quickly reviewing everything he had witnessed in this period... The image of the Heavenly Profound True Talisman flashed through his mind. The Heavenly Profound True Talisman itself, converting Mysterious Primordial Qi and strengthening the vitality was already quite powerful, but its essence was just one of the foundation bases of the Pure Yang Great Formation. Just like Divine Abnormalities, when taken separately, they also possessed considerable strength, but upon deeper reflection... An Jing had a realization, "It’s a foundation base!" "Inner Breath is the beginning, Inner Strength is the foundation, breaking through the Heavenly Mystery with Martial Meridians, and the Small World condensed within oneself is the foundational base that leads to the heavens of Martial Arts!" "The five Divine Abnormalities condensed by Inner Strength, four as the foundational bases for the corners of the Great Formation, and the Soul and Spirit Divine Abnormality as the eye of the formation, secretly aligning with the numerology of the Four Symbols and Five Elements!" "Unifying the Divine Abnormalities as one, eventually condensing Divine Skill... This is the path from Inner Strength Martial Meridians all the way through to the Hollow Divine Repository!" "Good!" Guangchen couldn’t help but cheer; he was well aware that An Jing had never studied related Martial Arts knowledge before, as all of this was a realization he came to on the spot, and it was all correct! "That’s right," he said with a pat of his hands in praise: "Martial Arts are just that, Martial and Arts. The Way of Martial, is to turn the human body into a formation that imitates the universe. Martial is to refine the body for combat, while the Way is to transform one’s body into the universe for eternal life!" "Now, what I’m going to tell you, is the True Transmission of the Great Sects." Raising his index finger, Guangchen spoke leisurely: "Different Divine Abnormalities have inclinations towards different Five Elements." An Jing waited a while, expecting Guangchen to continue — but when he saw Guangchen smiling, An Jing suddenly realized that this so-called True Transmission actually only consisted of a single sentence! But... Upon deep consideration, combined with the notion that Divine Abnormalities are foundation bases and the idea of transforming one’s body into a Great Formation to derive Divine Skill, An Jing shockingly realized that this one sentence was indeed the true Great Sect True Transmission! He murmured to himself, "Since it’s a formation, it must observe the mutual restraint of the Five Elements and the hierarchy of Yin and Yang. The attributes of each foundation base, their locations, and even who dominates and who follows are all extremely particular!" ——Just like Spirit Roots, if one haphazardly condensed Divine Abnormalities without establishing a clear primary or secondary, even if the Divine Abnormalities were very powerful, they would restrict each other and consequently... be unable to ascend through Martial Meridians! Should there be any mistake, even if one fortunately breaks through Martial Meridians, breaking through Divine Repository would absolutely be impossible! "Ordinary Martial Artists condensing Divine Abnormalities have no choice; they can only cultivate what they have. As long as they can condense one more Divine Abnormality, they will do so. As for Martial Meridians and Divine Repositories, who cares about that much detail? First get strong, then talk." "As a result, most common Life Holders, unless they join major powers, are doomed to be stuck at the peak of Inner Strength, even if they, like the ancestors of the An Family, managed to break through Martial Meridians by luck thanks to a treasure, they are destined to be locked at the elementary level, with no prospect of further progress in their lifetime!" "Resources are one threshold, Fate Pattern is another, and the transmission of Cultivation Technique is yet another... This secrecy of the True Transmission is also a threshold!" Once he realized this, An Jing looked at Guangchen with a gentle smile and finally understood why Subdue Evil Sword Spirit had always wanted him to find a local Martial Arts teacher. As a Sword Immortal from a Great Sect, Subdue Evil really knew! All of these ins and outs, even if a genius amongst the common folk realized them on their own, there would be nothing they could do about it. It seemed like just one sentence, ’Different Divine Abnormalities have different Five Elements inclinations,’ but in reality, it represented the cooperation among dozens, hundreds, or even more different Divine Abnormalities, as well as the methods for their hierarchical pairing. These experiences, this ’wisdom’ bought with blood and bones, with the cessation of the paths of countless geniuses, was the real threshold. The foundations that allowed those Great Sects and major powers to shine for thousands of years! Just like the formulas for alloys in the past life, it was only through trial and error, a seemingly endless journey, where not only successful and correct formulas were a treasure, but even the erroneous formulas were valuable! "I believe." Guangchen looked at An Jing warmly: "Even if you do not join a Great Sect, you will encounter other opportunities to avoid these pitfalls." "But with me here, things are much simpler." An Jing thought that Guangchen’s next words would be an invitation to join the Bright Mirror Sect. But he did not say so. The somewhat weathered True Person Dust Li fell silent for a while, as if reminiscing about the past. When he returned to the present, he smiled apologetically and calmly said: "Different Sects have special Divine Abnormalities and combinations for pairing with the Cultivation Technique, hence even if outsiders obtained the Sect’s methods, they cannot practice them." "My Bright Mirror Sect’s special Divine Abnormalities are three: the Bright Mirror Heart, Glazed Bone, and Dust-Free Pupil. The abilities of these Divine Abnormalities are similar and conflict with each other, so you only need to choose one." "There’s no need to hurry, An Jing. I won’t force you to join the Bright Mirror Sect." "You don’t have to rush your decision either because, later on, I am going to tell you the Cultivation Methods for all three Divine Abnormalities." "...Why?" Upon hearing this, An Jing’s mind was filled with the greatest doubt he had since he started communicating with Guangchen. Given An Jing’s insightful talent, even though the other party had revealed so much cultivation secret knowledge to him, he did not have the slightest difficulty in understanding... but human hearts are truly unfathomable. By now, how could An Jing not see that Guangchen was willing to share all he had? If Guangchen wanted to recruit him to their side, that would be one thing; nurturing juniors was normal. But Mingguang Dust said, "I won’t force you"... An Jing was about to agree to this matter, as he was very clear that the condensing method for a special Divine Abnormality is equivalent to a sect’s core wealth. After obtaining the condensing method for a special Divine Abnormality, even outsiders could cultivate martial skills according to the Bright Mirror Sect’s cultivation technique, and if lucky, they could even truly develop Divine Skills and establish their own school! The reason why many martial arts sects within Da Chen occasionally split off into branches is precisely because such core cultivation methods were leaked! "Because Bright Mirror Sect isn’t a good place either." Mingguang Dust chose a stone slab to sit on, dissipated his Dharma Body, and gestured for An Jing to sit down as well: "You were originally a Divine General in the Demon Sect, and if you hadn’t defected, you would be treated as a direct disciple of a Great Sect." "And the reason you defected, as I see it, is because you didn’t want to be part of their corrupt ways, right? Even, from the way you would rather pretend to be a Dust Li person than return to Da Chen in your original identity, it seems you also detest the inaction of Da Chen." "Especially after interacting with Mingjing, you must feel that Da Chen is genuinely malicious and incomprehensible, to actually trade with the Heavenly Demon." "Indeed, that’s so," An Jing responded without mincing words. He sat next to Mingguang Dust, elbow on his knee, chin propped on his hand, somewhat puzzled he said, "You mean to tell me... Da Chen isn’t that bad after all, and Bright Mirror Sect is actually worse?" "They’re both bad. Bright Mirror Sect is just a bit better because it’s a smaller sect," Mingguang Dust candidly said: "But if you’re expecting the sect to be much better than Da Chen, a paradise of sorts, that’s impossible." "I had a... acquaintance. He died. Killed by the hands of a Heavenly Demon." Turning his head, Mingguang Dust looked toward the north, his gaze distant as if penetrating the void: "It’s not surprising he died at the hands of a Heavenly Demon, even though he was one of the few people within the sect whom I esteemed." "But the mission he was on was a top-secret task of the sect. If not for a traitor within, he would never have died." "Within the sect, there are also traitors who collude with the Heavenly Demon, there are power struggles between noble families and mentor-student lineage, as well as many sordid and despicable things... Cultivating in a sect is no different from cultivating in Da Chen, it’s just that the infighting within a sect is on a smaller scale, unlike Da Chen where the internal strife could cause countless calamities." Mingguang Dust implied something with his words, and An Jing thought of the Hanhai Demon Calamity and the almost encountered ’Necrocontroller Demon Calamity’ at Kanming City. "Why be so forthright with me? You could have waited until I joined to tell me all this." An Jing sighed: "I’m not one to go back on my words. Since I have called you master, I will surely acknowledge this favor of imparting knowledge, no matter what." "Your heart is naturally as clear as a bright mirror." Mingguang Dust said: "You have Innate Wisdom, and your comprehension is high, you understand everything, so there is no need for confusion." "I don’t want to deceive you into joining with such hypocritical lies. I told you how important Inner Strength and Martial Meridian are because I wanted to let you know that joining a sect will determine your future path, and if you don’t start over from scratch, it would be exceedingly difficult to change." "Given such talent, as the Dawn Light Palace’s palace master and the future Peak Master of Dawn Brightness Peak in the Bright Mirror Sect, I naturally want to bind you to my sect." "But beyond being a True Person of the Divine Repository in Bright Mirror Sect, I am also a person from the Endless Heavens." Turning his head, the Divine Repository True Person looked deeply at An Jing: "People like us, practicing martial arts and cultivating, do not do so for the sake of power or to dominate the world, but to explore the secrets hidden behind this world, the many truths concealed in history." "Only by knowing all the secrets and the reasons behind problems, can we truly change the world." "I need comrades-in-arms. Those who can travel the furthest with me, comrades-in-arms who recognize each other from the bottom of their hearts." "You have that potential, so I am sincere with you, and I hope you will be sincere with me too." "I do have many things I haven’t mentioned," An Jing frankly admitted: "I have no intention of disclosing them now." Mingguang Dust didn’t mind: "Trust takes a long time, I don’t expect you to speak now, so I’m just showing you my attitude." "Moreover, the reason I taught you three Divine Abnormalities is that with your talent, if you were to choose for yourself, you would naturally find the Divine Abnormality most suitable for you. If you are willing to cultivate it, then you are one of Bright Mirror Sect." "In this way, it doesn’t matter if you don’t return to the sect, leaving a seed outside is also good." "Seed?" An Jing caught the deep meaning behind Mingguang Dust’s words, his eyebrows furrowed: "Is it that bad?" "It’s alright for now, after all, the various masters and elders are still here, and the old ancestor is still here too," Mingguang Dust opened his Dharma Eye and said faintly: "But this situation won’t last long." "If you truly return to the sect, then as you grow, you might witness a Great Sect’s decline from prosperity to decline, or even fall from grace." "To tell you the truth." Mingguang Dust’s tone grew somber, but An Jing laughed: "I’m actually quite curious to see it." To Mingguang Dust’s surprised and somewhat astonished look as he raised his eyebrows, An Jing turned his head to look over the entire Ming City, then fixated on the direction of the government offices. "From prosperity to decline." He said softly with a smile: "The potential decline or revival of Bright Mirror Sect are both excellent examples that are exceedingly rare in this world." "It just so happens to be a contrast to Da Chen, to help me get used to it in advance." "Remarkable resilience for someone from the Demon Sect," Mingguang Dust laughed heartily, standing up: "You sure are looking at the bigger picture... Well, since you’re so spirited, let’s continue!" An Jing also stood up crisply: "Yes, master."
