The fact that the Aghan No Rule was truly of great use in comprehending the No Rule divine Aptitude made Ning Cheng’s heart more and more delighted. The Sikou Valley Master was a Mixed Yuan powerhouse, how powerful was the insight of a Mixed Yuan powerhouse? Ning Cheng believed that the valley master was definitely not talking out of his mouth. What’s more, how many years had this Sikou Valley Master stayed here?
From his tone of voice, Ning Cheng could hear that the Sikou Valley Master had come to the Land of Broken Rules to comprehend the rules here. Perhaps the Valley Master could also know the way out, it was just that people stayed here simply to cultivate.
Ten days passed quickly, and to a Mixed Saint Emperor, ten days of Discourse was considered very short. But Ning Cheng had gained so much in these ten days, not only had he gained a new understanding of the Land of Broken Rules, he had a preliminary concept of the Ruleless Avatar. More so, he had gained a new understanding of the Dao, and had gained more direct insight into some of the doubts he had once had in his cultivation.
These ten days were worth a hundred years of Ning Cheng’s cultivation, which made Ning Cheng sigh in his heart that cultivation was really about learning from other people’s experiences and then removing the essence. What might be the cream of the crop for others might be the turnip for yourself. How far a monk can go lies in how much he can find that suits him, and then comprehend from it what is his own.
On the tenth day, the Master of Sikou Valley abruptly stopped talking, causing all the cultivators who were immersed in the Master’s discourse to suddenly wake up.
“The sermon of the Valley Master has benefited me a lot, thanks a lot for the sermon of the Valley Master.” A female cultivator sitting at the front stood up with an excited face and bowed to Master Sikou Valley.
Master Si Kou shook his head, “You have not understood, what I discussed was not my path, but my epiphany of the rule dao of the Land of Broken Rules.”
“Haha ……” Another man stood up abruptly, “I have enlightened the Dao, I have enlightened the Dao ……”
This was a grey-haired old man who stood up and called out a few times before pointing his finger into the void and saying aloud, “I wish to shape the Dao with the rules I have comprehended, respecting the might of heaven and earth and sincerely abiding by the Dao Grace ……”
As the grey-haired old man’s words were spoken, Ning Cheng could also clearly feel the aura on his body changing, clearly a world of difference in strength from before. Although his strength could not yet be manifested in this Land of Broken Rules, once he exited the Land of Broken Rules, the might of the Shaping Dao would surely be manifested.
No one said much. Although it was rare to see someone shaping the dao in the Valley of Peace, it was not the first time. Dao shaping is only related to epiphany, and to the strength of divine spirit energy, but it is not necessary.
An hour later, the grey-clothed old man’s aura changed dramatically and he bowed to the Master of Sikou Valley to express his gratitude.
The Sikou Valley Master nodded and said in a calm tone, “Shaping the dao requires the rules of heaven and earth to be fused with your own divine laws. For you to be able to shape your dao in the Land of Broken Rules, your future achievements are already stronger than the average person.”
The grey-clothed old man thanked him once again before bowing and retreating.
Lord Sikou Valley said aloud, “If there are no questions, please retreat. If those who have questions, please ask.”
Karoel gave Ning Cheng a tug, “Senior Brother Ning Cheng, let’s go.”
Ning Cheng hurriedly said, “I still have many questions to ask, how can I leave?”
Calo’er whispered, “Asking questions requires divine crystals, one million divine crystals for the first question, two million divine crystals for the second question, and in increasing order after that.”
Ning Cheng looked dumbfounded at the Valley Master sitting high above him, thinking to himself that he really knew how to earn divine crystals. He did not resist, knowledge was wealth. It was normal for the Sikou Valley Master to answer questions and collect divine crystals. If it were him, he would also charge divine crystals to answer questions.
“Senior Sister Karol, you should go first, I still have some divine crystals and I need to ask a few questions later.” Ning Cheng would naturally not let go of such an opportunity. Outside, even if you had as many divine crystals as you wanted, you would not be able to ask a Mixed Yuan powerhouse to answer your questions.
After knowing that the Savage Meeting Mountain would not be able to trouble him within a thousand years, Ning Cheng had long wanted to leave the Peaceful Valley. Now that he had learnt about the effects of the Aghan Irregularity Fruit, he even wanted to find a place to comprehend this Irregularity Divine Ability. As for staying in the valley to comprehend this divine ability, that was still exempted.
It wasn’t that Ning Cheng didn’t trust others, the value of the Aghan Ruleless Fruit was simply too high. Who could guarantee that when he took out the Aghan Ruleless Fruit, it would not cause others to covet it?
There were not many cultivators who stayed here to inquire, obviously everyone was not very wealthy. This old fellow, Barbarian Huishan, was nonchalant as he directly stepped forward and took out a storage ring.
Ning Cheng did not know how many questions this fellow had asked, anyway, Ning Cheng waited for him for almost half a day before this fellow left with a satisfied heart.
Only after Barbarian Huishan had left did Ning Cheng then go up and take out a storage ring and place it in front of Master Si Kou Valley, once again cupped his fist and saluted and said, “Senior, junior has a few questions that he would like to ask.”
Seeing Si Kou Valley Master smile, Ning Cheng then said, “Senior Eternal Perfection, having just transformed his divine essence, now wants to shape his dao. It’s just that junior has always been a casual cultivator and has no master to teach him, so he doesn’t know much about the path to Dao enlightenment, so I would like to ask senior to enlighten me.”
Master Sikou Valley nodded, “I saw the perfect transformation of your divine essence as soon as you arrived, your surging divine essence is far stronger than the average Eternal Realm cultivator, your future is unlimited. I had always thought that you were from one of the great sects, I didn’t expect you to be a mere casual cultivator, very impressive.”
Si Kou Valley Master’s words made Ning Cheng understand that this Valley Master was not trying to earn divine crystals by answering questions at all, but rather this was a fraternal mind. Whether it was Sikou Valley Master discussing the dao or Sikou Valley Master taking the initiative to answer questions and collect this divine crystal, it all spoke volumes.
A cultivator who was trying to earn divine crystals would definitely not talk so much nonsense to him.
As expected, after Master Sikou Valley finished those words, his tone became gruff, “Your divine powers are miscellaneous and you use too much Dan power, the main and secondary are out of balance, if you are unable to dissolve them, your future achievements will be greatly limited.”
Ning Cheng sweated profusely in his heart, he knew his own affairs and had indeed used many pills. Because he had never felt any side effects, he had not cared. Now that Master Sikou Valley had spoken about it, he realised that he had walked into a misunderstanding. As for his divine ability, where there was miscellaneous, he really didn’t know.
The Sikou Valley Master sighed, “I have never seen an eternal cultivator of your astonishing talent, your age is unbelievable to me, perhaps you have a secret of your own ……”
Hearing this Ning Cheng was greatly shocked in his heart, he didn’t expect that because there were no rule restrictions here, his bone age was actually seen through by the Valley Master. And his biggest secret was the Xuanhuang Pearl, this thing must not be seen by the other party.
Luckily, the Sikou Valley Master did not go on about the secret, but turned to say, “Your comprehension ability is amazing, I can see that most of your divine abilities have been comprehended by yourself. With this kind of comprehension ability, you don’t need to use much dan power. Dan power may speed you up for a while, but if you can’t find a way to contain the Dan poison, it will be a falsehood after all.”
Hearing the words of Lord Sikou Valley, Ning Cheng was even more determined to go back and look for an antidote to the poison dan formula. He could use other pills sparingly, but the Empty City Transmigration of Consciousness Pill, he had to keep taking it. It was only fundamental when the Sea of Consciousness was strong.
“There are millions of dao, and shaping the dao is the first step to prove the dao. This step is crucial, and you can easily shape your dao after sorting out your divine abilities and removing the limits of your achievements.”
When Lord Sikou Valley said this, he paused slightly, and he looked carefully at Ning Cheng before asking, “What do you think of someone’s Dao enlightenment just now?”
Ning Cheng answered honestly, “After that senior had shaped his dao, his aura had changed greatly and his strength had clearly improved by several notches. Coupled with the Dao attestation in the Land of Broken Rules, it should be very powerful.”
Lord Sikou Valley shook his head, “The dao he shaped was a small one, and his future achievements will be limited. The only thing that makes him stronger than others is that he has succeeded in shaping his dao in the Land of Broken Rules.”
“There are sizes of dao?” Ning Cheng heard this statement for the first time and was even more shocked in his heart, secretly rejoicing that it was fortunate that he had met Master Sikou Valley. Otherwise, it would only be a regret if he had witnessed a small dao one day.
“A monk walks against the heavens, his dao is under the control of heaven and earth, I am afraid that he will never be able to step into the second step in this life.” Master Sikou Valley replied seriously.
Ning Cheng remembered the dao shaping vow that the grey haired old man had made when he shaped his dao earlier, “I wish to shape my dao with the rules I have comprehended, respect the might of heaven and earth, and sincerely abide by the dao grace ……”
It was indeed the Dao of sincere fear and panic under heaven and earth. He was not clear if Lord Sikou Valley did not say it, but as soon as Lord Sikou Valley said it, he came to a clear understanding.
“Please teach the Valley Master, what is the Great Dao and what is the Lesser Dao?” Ning Cheng’s tone was even more respectful.
The Sikou Valley Master sighed, “Back then, my master told me that there is no size of the Dao, it lies in the person who witnesses it. For millions of years, I have always wandered in the mixed elements, unable to merge with the Dao, and only then did I realize that everything in heaven and earth has a height and size. What is the Great Dao, I only sense it in the darkness, and I cannot tell you clearly. The Great Dao lies in yourself, and the Great Dao lies in your Daoist thoughts.
But I want to tell you that to prove the Dao purely by means of external objects, to have no root of one’s own standing beyond heaven and earth, to be forever below the Dao of Heaven, is all a small Dao.”
Ning Cheng’s heart shook when he heard this. The Great Dao was a Dao that had to transcend the Heavenly Dao, how did one go about proving this? In that case, any means of shaping the Dao with the fruits of the Dao was a minor Dao?
Previously, he had been a little hesitant when he had decided to use the Aham No Rule Fruit to comprehend the Ruleless Divine Aptitude. After all, it was a treasure that could allow one to shape the dao. And now, there was no more half-hearted hesitation; he was determined not to use the Dao fruit to shape the dao.
“Proven Dao requires great perseverance, great wisdom, great qi and great chance, one of these is missing. If you don’t have these, a small dao is also a dao. Well, that’s all I have to say to you. Your Dao still needs to be enlightened by yourself ……” After Master Sikou Valley said these words, his entire person directly became illusory and soon disappeared.
Ning Cheng had wanted to ask about the third step of the Dao of enlightenment, but he did not expect Lord Sikou Valley to leave as soon as he said. However, the questions he had just asked added up to more than three. The divine crystal he had left inside his ring was only six million.
With a clear direction, Ning Cheng had an even clearer understanding of the Shaping Dao. He decided to leave the Peaceful Valley and find his own place to first comprehend the Ruleless Divine Aptitude before going out to look for Dao-shaping opportunities.
