Even without the Samadhi True Fire, the True Fire of the Primordial Spirit was already formidable.
The True Fire of the Primordial Spirit had two main functions:
1.Enlightenment: It could burn away distracting thoughts and inner demons, allowing the user to enter a state of emptiness and clarity, making it easier to comprehend the Dao.
2.Combat: It could burn the soul, will, and Primordial Spirit of enemies. If Ning Changge were to face the Buddhist monk’s Buddha’s Will again, a single burst of the True Fire of the Primordial Spirit would be enough to incinerate it, without needing the combined power of heavenly thunder and true fire like before.
Hearing Ning Changge’s response, Wang Chongyang couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. “Changge, your comprehension is unmatched in this world.”
He knew that Ning Changge’s “little insight” was far from ordinary.
The Quanzhen Seven, hearing Wang Chongyang’s praise, couldn’t help but feel envious. After all, in all their years of listening to Wang Chongyang’s lectures, they had rarely gained such insights.
But they also knew they couldn’t compare to Ning Changge.
Ning Changge smiled and apologized again for interrupting the lecture. Wang Chongyang waved it off, clearly pleased that Ning Changge had gained something from the session.
He continued his lecture as usual. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel-fire.net
This time, the disciples listened even more attentively, hoping to gain insights like Ning Changge. But unfortunately, not everyone possessed such monstrous talent.
Ning Changge’s enlightenment had come not only from Wang Chongyang’s lecture but also from his deep understanding of the Dao of the Three Flowers. Wang Chongyang’s words had merely provided the final push.
Wang Chongyang wasn’t disappointed, as gaining no insight was the norm.
“Do not be discouraged. Diligence in cultivation is the true path,” he gently reminded them.
The disciples snapped out of their reverie and thanked him, nearly falling into a state of obsession.
Wang Chongyang then moved on to martial arts, focusing on the Quanzhen Heart Method, the foundational technique of the Quanzhen Sect.
All Quanzhen disciples practiced this method, and those who reached the Great Grandmaster level could then transition to the Innate Skill.
Ning Changge listened quietly. The martial arts lecture was of little use to him, but it did give him an opportunity to further refine the improvements he had made to the Quanzhen Heart Method three days earlier.
When the lecture on the Quanzhen Heart Method ended, Wang Chongyang paused, and the disciples called out in unison, “Thank you, Grandmaster, for the lecture and martial arts instruction!”
Their eyes were filled with gratitude, as the lecture had clearly been beneficial. Many disciples had resolved their long-standing doubts.
Wang Chongyang laughed and nodded.
Next, Ma Yu and the other Quanzhen Seven took turns giving their own lectures. They also discussed the Dao and martial arts, but compared to Wang Chongyang’s insights, their teachings seemed far more rudimentary. For Ning Changge, they were of little value.
As for the martial arts portion, it was even less useful. The Quanzhen Seven didn’t discuss the Quanzhen Heart Method but instead focused on techniques like the Golden Goose Skill and the Quanzhen Sword Technique, explaining key points in their practice.
When the seven had finished, the disciples still seemed eager for more, their eyes drifting toward Ning Changge, who remained seated on the high platform.
Even the Quanzhen Seven looked at him expectantly.
Wang Chongyang laughed. “We’ve merely laid the groundwork. Changge, how about sharing some insights from Wudang’s Dao?”
Ning Changge smiled. “Since you’ve invited me, I shall oblige.”
As soon as he spoke, his aura became ethereal, exuding an otherworldly and unattainable quality. His voice, like the sound of the Dao itself, began to resonate as he spoke.
His teachings were too profound, and even with the aid of spiritual power, most of the audience couldn’t fully grasp them. So, he chose to focus on a specific portion, just as he had done when lecturing at Wudang.
He began with the Five Elements.
“The Five Elements: Water, Fire, Wood, Metal, and Earth. Water moistens and descends, Fire blazes and rises, Wood bends and straightens, Metal yields and reforms, Earth nurtures and reaps…”
With just a few words, the disciples were left in a daze, their hearts filled with a sense of awe.
Even Wang Chongyang was no exception.
In their minds, incredible visions began to unfold.
A Black Tortoise stepped out of the sea, stirring up towering waves—this was Water.
A Green Dragon soared into the sky, entwined with a celestial tree—this was Wood.
There were also divine trees in the ocean, lotus flowers of fire and water, and a Golden Crow blazing in the sky—these were the manifestations of the Dao.
Compared to Wang Chongyang’s earlier lecture, this was like night and day. Ning Changge was using the Dao Manifestation Technique, which allowed him to present the essence of his Dao to the audience.
The Dao of the Five Elements wasn’t just for Immortal Dao cultivation; it was also applicable to martial arts.
In the Daoist hall, the disciples could already be heard breaking through, their progress shaking the hall.
Although the Quanzhen Heart Method couldn’t compare to Wudang’s techniques, and Ning Changge’s teachings weren’t perfectly suited to them, the impact was still significant. Several talented disciples began to break through.
Among them, Tan Chuduan, one of the Quanzhen Seven, was moved to tears. He had just gained insight into the Dao of Water, allowing him to break through a barrier that had troubled him for years.
He had reached the Grandmaster Realm, becoming the third Grandmaster among the Quanzhen Seven.
A wave of awe-filled gazes turned toward Ning Changge, filled with admiration and reverence. Only now did they realize what it meant for Ning Changge to give a lecture. It was like receiving guidance from a Daoist sage, a revelation that pierced the soul.
Wang Chongyang stood there, stunned, as though he were dreaming.
But it wasn’t over yet.
