After Bai Ze and Ying Zhao performed this grand play at the Palace of Emperor Nuwa, Deng Chan Yu was not in a hurry to leave.
She was afraid that these two would block the door.
She was not worried about Nine infants. She just feared that these two were waiting for her outside the Taishi sky and would come to her again to ask about the Godly affairs. In fact, there were very few excuses for her to evade. If she brought out Fu Xi, it would make things even more complicated.
To see the Buddha's face rather than the monk's, Nuwa often felt helpless towards her brother, Fu Xi. For the sake of face, she had to agree to it. As a disciple, she would have even less reason to refuse.
Since there are no urgent matters at home, why not stay for a while longer at the Palace of Nuwa?
In an instant, Nuwa had guessed what she was thinking.
Believing herself to be a great teacher in the Primordial Age, Nuwa said straightforwardly, "Since I have some spare time today, as your teacher, I will give you a lecture on the path of the Taiyi Golden Immortal."
Deng Chan Yu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
Nuwa was enveloped in Dao potential, seemingly modest but actually proud, and said, "There are three thousand paths here directly leading to Taiyi Golden Immortal. Calm your mind, embrace the Yuan and guard the one. Just listen to me tell you one by one."
Three thousand methods? Deng Chan Yu was astounded!
With the indulgence of the phoenix in the Jade Palace, along with the offerings from her divine position, she has now gained a cultivation level comparable to a mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal.
With sufficient external conditions, it's easy to accumulate power, but the cultivation of heart nature is slow. It's a massive project that requires patience and determination, not something that can be resolved by thinking about it for a while. Unfortunately, Xuanmen has high requirements for heart nature, and she has just stabilized at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
The strength of her body is also insufficient. The Xuanmen sect emphasizes the cultivation of both body and spirit. You don't need to reach the level of Nine Infant, but at least be comparable. Deng Chan Yu has always relied on the Jiuqiao Xuan Gong, and now her cultivation of this method is still at the thirty-first level, which is only a moderately successful level.
For heavenly immortals and true immortals, this level is sufficient. She can say that her body is unbreakable when facing opponents of the same level. However, once she reaches the realm of Golden Immortal, it's quite different. She needs to pick up Jiuqiao Xuan Gong again. Even if she cannot reach the realm of great achievement and great perfection like Ying Jiwen, she should at least reach the level of Yu Ding Zhenren, which means refining her cultivation to around forty layers and mastering it comprehensively.
If she were to train in a step-by-step manner on her own, it would take more than a hundred years to break through these bottlenecks. With Nuwa now mentioning three thousand methods, she naturally had to listen carefully.
"What nonsense! We don't have three thousand ways to breakthrough the Taiyi Golden Immortal!" Lishan Laozu, in her mind, gave Nuwa a thumbs down.
Nuwa rebuked, "You old hag, keep your mouth shut! I have already thought of eighty-five methods! You've nothing to do over there. First, help me think of a thousand ways. Hurry up!"
Lishan Laozu: ""
As Nuwa's true body explained Deng Chan Yu the Dao, her avatar was thinking with her.
If she were to talk about Dao for heavenly immortals or Xuan immortals, it would really be a challenge for Nuwa.
She became a Taishi Golden Immortal the moment she formed a shape, so she indeed lacks understanding of the Dao for Exalted Gods and Xuan Immortals. Fortunately, Taiyi Golden Immortal is just one level below Taishi Golden Immortal, so it's not low-level immortals at all. Nuwa racked her brain, recalling scenes before she formed her shape. She searched for answers in those extremely distant memories and then combined them with the wisdom of the sages to deduce them.
There will be some "small" problems in the future training process, as these are all "thoughts" and haven't been tested through practice. However, she felt that the problems should not be significant.
The Palace of Nuwa was filled with Dao potential. Nuwa explained her understanding of the Taiyi Golden Immortal to Deng Chan Yu, and she listened with a dazed expression. They were completely unaware of the passing time outside.
Spring and autumn came and went, time flies, without realizing it, a year has passed.
Are there three thousand methods? Who knows, but Deng Chan Yu hasn't counted.
Teaching Dao is not giving a speech.
Leaders often say, "I will use a little of your time today. I will talk about five major topics, and each topic has four small aspects."
The process of teaching Dao is very general, and it tests not only the listeners but also the person teaching.
Being able to explain and understand is just the first step. Next, you need to achieve self-awareness. Often, a simple sentence contains several layers of meaning. In the Primordial Age, there is no tradition of breaking things down and explaining them in detail. Without carefully pondering the meaning of a verse, it is impossible to understand its true essence.
Deng Chan Yu took down all the teachings, intending to ponder over them carefully and then extract the essence that she needed.
Having occupied the sage's time for a year, Deng Chan Yu said goodbye to her teacher with great solemnity. Nuwa waved her hand, indicating for her to leave quickly. "Old folks like me need some rest," she said. "Teaching the Dao isn't as comfortable as lying down."
Before leaving, Deng Chan Yu still wanted to ask about Hou Tian, but in the end, she swallowed her words.
In the Primordial Chaos now, it's not exactly a case of "the more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the less mistakes you make." But since there's a lot to do, it certainly attracts a great deal of karma. Whether this karma is good or bad, it is still a trouble.
Although the title of "God King Luo Hou" sounds majestic, based on her observation of Nuwa's method of erasing the Curse List, it is estimated that the sage's level has surpassed that of Luo Hou.
In the Primordial Chaos, there are Daoist gods at the level of Hu Ben Da Luo Golden Immortal. Above them is the Dao.
No matter how domineering Luo Hou, the God King of Demons, was during his "high school" years, no matter how he could defeat four with one, he ultimately failed to get into "university." The Dao gave him a chance, but he was useless. His era had already passed.
After being admitted to "university," the sages continue their studies, but he remains in the "high school" stage, making no progress. Cloudhawk and Xuan both Great Sages, who are actually his juniors, are indeed very powerful. However, he is no longer on the same level as the sages.
Deng Chan Yu needs to be cautious and careful when facing the God King Luo Hou. The sages do not require such caution. Perhaps the release of Luo Hou was meant to test their disciples like them?
After leaving the Palace of Nuwa, she did not see Bai Ze and Ying Zhao blocking the door, so she returned to the Cloud Dream Marsh without any hesitation. Zhao Jie, her classmate, was still there practicing there.
In the coming period, she would have to practice seriously. Nuwa said, "When the moon is full, it begins to wane; when the water is full, it begins to overflow." Initially, she thought this referred to fire element magic. After a year of learning the Dao, however, she realized it meant that she should avoid trouble as much as possible. "The more capable one is, the more work there will be to do," which might be what Nuwa meant by that expression.
"Whoa?" Deng Chan Yu suddenly realized a small problem; she had actually taken out Nuwa's whisk.
She just wanted to return to the Palace of Nuwa, but Nuwa's voice suddenly echoed in her heart, "Take it with you. The teacher here doesn't need another whisk."
Deng Chan Yu: "???"
She asked with a bit of suspicion, "Teacher, have you been watching me?"
Nuwa Palace's Nuwa was startled, and she explained with a dry laugh, "No, no, that's not it. The teacher is..."
What was it, then? She frowned in thought, and with the supreme power of a sage, she immediately came up with thousands of excuses in an instant.
