Chapter 8 – An Art that Divines All
With an indescribable feeling, Fang Yuan answered all the questions with the truest understandings in his heart. He felt as if his surroundings changed in a moment that lasted forever. In this process, a sense of approval came from a residual thought. Then, a strangeness entered his soul that pained him beyond comparison, as if his soul was being torn apart. Yet, he also felt satisfied, as if everything was a fantastic dream!
“What is this?”
After a while, he gradually woke up to find himself in a mysterious space.
He could vaguely see golden characters floating around him.
These texts were extremely familiar as they were all from the True Comprehensions of the Way.
He was more familiar with these than his own palm. But within the familiarity, there seemed to be some mystical change. The characters continuously moved and changed their organization. Even the individual strokes of each character were undergoing a mysterious evolution. They acted out the rationale for the great path to understanding. With this evolution, a strange, yet familiar, thing appeared…
The most fundamental truths are the simplest!
The scripture is still the same scripture, but the truth contained within it was different; it startled Fang Yuan.
“Did I turn into a devil from reading too much?”
For a time, Fang Yuan could hardly judge whether his experience was real or not.
However, out of an inexplicable impulse in his heart, he continued observing his surroundings.
“The heavenly art?”
“This…. This is an art of divination?”
In a magical way, after reading the golden floating characters that danced around him, they flew like meteors into his mind and a unique understanding appeared within him.
“Three thousand paths merged into one, a way of understanding all that exists…”
Sensing this new skill, Fang Yuan’s face paled.
He could hardly believe the information in his mind. Because it was just… just too incredible!
“Three thousand great paths, all within a single method of understanding and controlling all laws that exist in the world…”
He was shocked and didn’t know if he could believe this understanding in his mind. He subconsciously remembered the only method cultivation he knew of: the Qingyang Sect’s entry level refining qi method that he had practiced diligently for a month. There were still some questions left unanswered, and because of them, he couldn’t complete the first layer of refining qi.
Originally, these questions were a mess within Fang Yuan’s mind.
The only ways to untangle them are to ask a sect elder for help or experiment by himself.
But, as Fang Yuan subconsciously tried using this art of divination, he suddenly felt a great change. Vaguely, it seemed as though strength was pulled from his body.
This suddenly loss made him dizzy and he almost fell on the ground…
As he refocused, his whole person was stunned.
A clear understanding suddenly appeared within his mind!
This understanding was the Qingyang Sect’s entry refining qi method. But instead of the previous fog, it was extremely clear, like a straight path to the heavens!
The questions that had troubled him for a long time were instantly solved. He understood what he had to do to raise his cultivation to the next level. Furthermore, he felt that there were more questions left within this method, but if he could clear these questions, then his cultivation efficiency would be even greater…
“This is the secret within the True Comprehensions of the Way?”
Because he suddenly lost a lot of strength, his face was pale, and his head pulsed with pain. Yet, he was also extremely happy with eyes full of light as he enjoyed an indescribable happiness.
“The True Comprehensions of the Way wasn’t fake after all…”
“It actually hid an art of divination…”
The True Comprehensions of the Way doesn’t contain a method for cultivation but exceeds any method of cultivation in the world!
It is a way to understand any method and increase its efficiency and quality…
It encompassed all spiritual practices, cultivation methods and understandings in the world as a supreme method. Its function is to decipher all cultivation methods in order to create more efficient and powerful ones!
Three thousand paths, all returns to one!
Some said that all cultivation methods in the world will eventually reach the same goal. This mystical skill originates from that goal. Since it already encompassed the three thousand paths, it was able to clear any misunderstandings and point to the truth in cultivation…
“The world has three thousand paths, yet I can walk on them all with a single skill…”
Fang Yuan’s expression became more and more joyful. His hands tightened into a fist as if he held all that exists, “Although it seems that this skill requires a tremendous amount of energy to finish the divination process, it is still… just… too magical.”
“Brother Fang, Brother Fang are you okay?”
Suddenly a voice rang out. Fang Yuan returned to reality and saw Steward Sun’s ugly face in front of him. The golden characters disappeared, and he was back to the bookstacks. It appeared as if everything that happened was a weird dream.
“I see that you have been holding this blank book. Did you receive a shock earlier?”
Steward Sun sighed as he helped Fang Yuan up and looked him over.
“Blank book?”
Fang Yuan was somewhat surprised as he looked down.
It was originally full of text from the True Comprehensions of the Way. Yet, there as not even a single character was left, just one empty page after another. Only Gu Song’s seal on the front page remained. It was as if all the texts escaped.
“Oh, it’s nothing, nothing. I was just thinking about somethings!”
Fang Yuan realized that something strange had occurred, but still managed to control himself. He returned the empty book back to the shelf with shock. It seemed that what he experienced in the dream had been real. The text within the True Comprehensions of the Way really did enter his mind. Could this be the actual secret of the True Comprehensions of the Way?
Yet, why was he the only who discovered it when Elder Gu Song had studied it for seven hundred years without gain?
He couldn’t help but remember the moment he picked up the book and experienced its many questions. An answered appeared in his heart. The secret was not freely available, but needed the recognition of the text itself…
“Haha, you must have been too exhausted lately. Oh, I heard people say that you have been cultivating every night instead of sleeping. That is not good. You would feel too sleepy during the day. Only someone like you who have great ambitions can drive yourself to this extent. You think too much about unrealistic things. Listen to me, let’s go get a bottle of liquor, half a pound of pig head meat and we can chat a bit!”
Seeing Fang Yuan’s lost face, Steward Sun spoke as if he were wise from many experiences.
“Okay, okay. I know…”
Fang Yuan has a headache whenever Steward Sun starts talking nonstop and hurriedly interrupted him as they walked out of the hall.
Organizing the sutra hall was not an easy task. The day had passed, and the servants gathered together to ride the kite back to their servant quarters. Steward Sun saw that Fang Yuan’s attitude had changed after seeing the sect disciples. He kindly suggested that he could drink some liquor with Fang Yuan but was rejected again. After dinner, Fang Yuan hurried back to his room.
He didn’t want to do anything else at the moment but to confirm what he had learned from the True Comprehensions of the Way!
Crossing his legs on the bed, he boldly moved his spiritual energy toward an obstacle.
Usually, he wouldn’t dare do something reckless since cultivation can’t tolerate half a mistake. Any carelessness could result in injury or death. However, after divining with the True Comprehensions of the Way, he had a new feeling. The originally profound method of cultivation suddenly became clear. The innumerable, intricate paths collapsed into a single great road.
He could see that all paths lead to a single destination. Some were right and some were wrong.
Within these paths hid a simple and direct road.
This is the most correct, stable, fastest, and efficient road!
If one were to describe it, then before, he had been walking forward with his eyes blinded. He could only touch upon slight understandings before forming a picture in his mind. But now, he could open his eyes and immediately see the entire scene!
He didn’t dare to move forward recklessly because he couldn’t see path of cultivation, but now, he no longer had any doubts!
With the guidance of the True Comprehensions of the Way, the path of cultivation was clearer than the lines on his palms!
A strand of spiritual power broke through the obstacle and Fang Yuan felt his body shake. The roadblock that had prevented his advancement was broken and his cultivation had increased another level. It made him extremely happy. “So this feeling is real…”
Without pause, he tried to break through the second obstacle.
The result was unbelievably smooth. The moment he sent forward his spiritual energy, the air around his body warmed as the second obstacle broke…
These obstacles had prevented his growth, but now he could grow as easily as drinking and eating. Fang Yuan couldn’t help but start laughing. His depression was swept away. With the help of the True Comprehensions of the Way, would he ever have to worry about not having guidance again?”
This single method exceeds all the wise masters of the world!
“Well, he lost his mind after all…”
Outside, Steward Sun was holding a bottle of liquor and a bag of pig head meat. He wanted to find Fang Yuan to drink a few cups. But, hearing the laughter, he quietly retreated. He silently thought, “Brother Fang Yuan’s mood is unstable right now, I probably shouldn’t pour oil onto a flame. Otherwise, people might think that I drove someone crazy by talking too much…”
