Chapter 671: Chapter 523, Marks of the Heavens, Sensing The Great Dao_2

Blinding Technique, a very simple Spell.

But Wang Yang didn’t think so.

To completely hide from a One-Step Saint like him, this was already beyond what a simple Blinding Technique could explain.

Nevertheless, Wang Yang suppressed the exclamation in his heart, but the fact that it was so from the beginning only made him more curious about what other secrets and wonders the Pangu Clan might hold.

"Please follow me!"

The Eighth Elder said and took the lead into the mountain cave.

Wang Yang closely followed behind; as soon as he stepped inside, he felt another Saint’s presence.

Compared to the Eighth Elder, the aura wasn’t as powerful, but still that of a standard One-Step Saint.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Wang Yang continued to follow the Eighth Elder forward.

They didn’t have to walk much longer before Wang Yang saw the most crucial place of the Pangu Clan.

A circular object, as tall as a person, stood before them—it was no static mirror. Dark and dull, its surface was constantly shifting, just like water.

Sitting to the lower left of the mirror was an elder, whose aura was the very Saintly presence Wang Yang had felt upon entering the cave.

The elder sat there with eyes shut, appearing quite ancient and worn.

Just as Wang Yang was about to ask a question, the Eighth Elder spoke first.

And with his words, Wang Yang felt a shock of amazement that was not entirely unexpected.

"This is the portal to other worlds, unique to the Pangu Clan in the entire Void!"

Looking at the object before him that resembled a mirror, Wang Yang could never have imagined it was actually a portal to other worlds.

The key question was, if there was one such portal within this mountain peak, what about the others?

If each held a similar portal, Wang Yang couldn’t help but recall how many peaks he had seen on his way here.

"Fellow Daoist, let’s proceed to look at other places."

The Eighth Elder said with a smile to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang nodded and followed him out of the cave.

Just as Wang Yang suspected, the Eighth Elder led him to another mountain peak.

Just like the one they had just visited, each peak housed a cave.

What made Wang Yang numb was that in each cave sat a Saint, eyes tightly shut, whether they were cultivating or in deep contemplation, Wang Yang couldn’t tell.

Looking at the endless mountain peaks, Wang Yang’s feelings were complex.

He had never imagined that the Pangu Clan would have so many Saints, such luxury that there was one for every single peak.

By this estimation, even if they were only One-Step Saints, the number of Saints in the Pangu Clan wouldn’t be less than a thousand.

"Elder, where should I cultivate?"

Wang Yang was feeling increasingly anxious.

Back in the Three Realms, he had not felt much, but here, if he didn’t make any progress, Wang Yang felt he wouldn’t be much stronger than those Saints guarding the portals.

"Where to cultivate? Where can’t you cultivate?"

The Eighth Elder was somewhat puzzled by Wang Yang’s question and immediately responded with his own.

Wang Yang was startled. Where couldn’t one cultivate?

If every place was suitable for cultivation, then what was the point of occupying those Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands?

"For cultivation, just pick any cave; each one contains a portal to other worlds, and through those portals, you can also sense the essence of The Great Dao from other worlds."

"These essences from The Great Dao are all beneficial for cultivation."

The Eighth Elder’s once serious face suddenly blossomed into a smile, as if his profound question earlier was just a joke to Wang Yang. At least the Eighth Elder didn’t take it seriously at all.

Wang Yang grumbled to himself internally, but upon hearing the Eighth Elder mention the essence of The Great Dao from other worlds, he still felt some expectation and confusion.

"Just to comprehend the Power of the Great Dao? But doesn’t a breakthrough from a One-Step Saint to a Two-Step Saint require an understanding that’s thorough, a Great Dao that’s clear?"

"If you comprehend too much, leading to a mixed and uneven Great Dao, wouldn’t that affect the breakthrough, or even cause one to be forever stuck at the peak of a One-Step Saint?"

Wang Yang was somewhat confused. Logically speaking, moving from a One-Step Saint to a Two-Step Saint was actually a stage of Enlightenment, and it was also about evolving and sublimating the Great Dao within oneself so that one could achieve the effect of Word Becomes Law.

However, if one constantly comprehends the Great Dao, it will indeed improve one’s Cultivation Level and increase combat power, but at the same time, countless forms of the Great Dao intertwine.

Any that are even slightly not thoroughly comprehended will become the biggest obstacle on the road from a One-Step Saint to a Two-Step Saint.

"Do you think what I let you perceive was the Great Dao? Those powers of the Great Dao existing in the channels from other worlds can actually be referred to as Marks of the Heavens,"

"Feeling the Marks of the Heavens of each world and deducing your own Dao from them,"

"Using the Dao of others to push your own Dao to the ultimate level, that is further sublimation," the Eighth Elder explained to Wang Yang.

With this explanation, Wang Yang understood.

He had originally thought it was about absorbing the Great Dao from other worlds and integrating it into himself, but it seemed that wasn’t the case at all.

Just learning from the Great Dao of others did indeed seem feasible.

Although Wang Yang had comprehended and integrated all fifty types of the Great Dao of the Three Realms, his understanding of the composition of the Great Dao wasn’t completely thorough, let alone continuing to deduce the Great Dao.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

Wang Yang bowed to the Eighth Elder; with just a few words, the Eighth Elder had already given him great help.

"Go on, go on!"

The Eighth Elder stood in front of Wang Yang, watching him, and Wang Yang didn’t delay, heading straight to the nearest cave.

Next to a mirror that looked almost identical, Wang Yang glanced at the Saint from the Pangu Clan sitting in meditation next to the mirror and bowed slightly.

He then sat down on the other side of the mirror, immersed his mind, and tried to sense the power of the Great Dao of this Minor World.

Almost the moment Wang Yang closed his eyes, the Saint from the Pangu Clan, who had been sitting there with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and looked at Wang Yang with a slight tilt of his head.

Then, turning his head back, he closed his eyes again, seemingly deep in thought.

As for Wang Yang, he took to heart the words of the Eighth Elder and invested his mind into the mirror, capturing the aura of the Great Dao from other worlds through the flowing mirror surface.

The mirror kept flowing, and Wang Yang kept searching.

Yet, he could only sense the aura of the Great Dao faintly. He knew it was there but couldn’t seem to grasp how to find it.

"Could it be that the Great Dao cultivated in other worlds is fundamentally different from what I practice?" Wang Yang couldn’t help but think to himself after a while.

Wang Yang had tried many methods, whether it was exploring with his Primordial Spirit or resonating his own power of the Great Dao with the same power from this world, but all attempts had failed.

Yet, that elusive presence of the Great Dao lingered in Wang Yang’s mind, making him firmly believe the channel indeed contained the Great Dao, even though he did not yet know how to find it.

"Embrace the One, guard the element, shut your mind tightly, from nothing to something, comprehend anew!"

After an unknown amount of time, an aged voice suddenly rang in Wang Yang’s ears.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the Saint from the Pangu Clan who had been sitting beside him, and sent a grateful glance.

Then, closing his eyes again, Wang Yang calmed his mind as the words had instructed, casting his Primordial Spirit into the channel to comprehend the Great Dao anew.

All of this was like going back to when he was a Quasi-Saint, facing the aura of countless Dao and re-comprehending the power of the Great Dao.

Wang Yang knew this process must be both straightforward and lengthy, but he was not the least deterred, instead fully immersed in it.

While Wang Yang received guidance and acted on it, the Saint from the Pangu Clan, who was originally sitting beside the mirror, had vanished quietly undetected.

Even Wang Yang, seated by the mirror and engrossed in his entire mind, had not noticed.

In the cave, other than the mirror that represented the channels, only Wang Yang remained.

At this time, Wang Yang’s state was just like that of the Saint from the Pangu Clan who had been sitting by the mirror, his eyes tightly closed, his body emanating only a faint Saintly pressure, alive or dead unknown.

Actually, at this time, Wang Yang’s Primordial Spirit had already entered the channel.

After entering the channel, he indeed felt the Dao it contained.

This force of the Dao was unlike anything Wang Yang had seen before and greatly piqued his interest.

Following the power of the Dao, Wang Yang’s Primordial Spirit drifted towards where this force was most concentrated.

All of this, were the instinctive actions of his Primordial Spirit.
