Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

“It’s almost done.”

Lin Yuan sheathed the True Martial Sword.

With those few strikes, at least ninety-nine percent of the thousands of the Demon Crowd surrounding Dragon Tiger Mountain had died.

Lin Yuan turned around and walked towards the Celestial Master Mansion’s group.

“Mountains… Heavenly Master…”

The Pingyang Taoist and Taoist Cangqing’s hands trembled, their old tears flowing freely.

This was the Heavenly Master, after all. For the first time in five hundred years, the Celestial Master Mansion had finally seen the rise of a new Heavenly Master.

“We pay our respects to the Heavenly Master.”

“We pay our respects to the Heavenly Master.”

The rest of the righteous factions’ members also bowed in unison.

At this moment, they all felt a tremor in their hearts, and a question arose within them.

Was the Celestial Master Mansion’s Heavenly Master really this powerful? Killing those in the Celestial Phenomena Realm as if slaughtering chickens?

The scenes of Lin Yuan’s actions just now were witnessed by them, and the major forces had records of the previous generations of Heavenly Masters.

In terms of power, the Heavenly Master indeed stood completely above those in the Celestial Phenomena Realm, but their abilities and techniques shouldn’t be this terrifying, right?

“All of you, rise.”

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

“Yes.”

The crowd stood up, feeling somewhat relieved internally.

It seemed that the disposition of this generation’s Heavenly Master was quite good.

But when everyone remembered the fate of the thousands of the Demon Crowd just now, and the scene nearby with bodies strewn everywhere, they immediately dismissed that thought.

‘Quite good’ my ass.

“Disciple… this disciple has sinned…”

Master Cang Qing still knelt in his place.

The others could stand, but he could not.

“It’s fine.”

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Master Cang Qing had indeed given up on him, but at the time, Lin Yuan had also taken the Path of the Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang, which indeed could be described as shocking and unorthodox.

Had it been anyone else, their death would have been on their own head.

But Lin Yuan had been acknowledged by the True Martial Sword, making him a seedling for the Heavenly Master.

For the Celestial Master Mansion, he held great significance; such a disciple taking what was perceived by the public as the wrong path, Master Cang Qing’s deep regret and distress were understandable.

It was like those scientists from the Cosmic Human Alliance who studied battleships and mechas, suddenly focusing on literature and theology…

The outsiders would be furious, let alone the teachers and schools who nurtured these great scientists.

Afterward,

after chatting with the other righteous forces for a few moments,

Lin Yuan, along with the Celestial Master Mansion disciples, returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The powerful individuals from the righteous factions also tactfully took their leave.

“Five hundred years, and the Celestial Master Mansion has finally produced a new Heavenly Master.”

“I almost thought the ancient records were wrong, that there was no such thing as Celestial Masters, that the Celestial Phenomena Realm was the apex and the idea of a Celestial Master transcending it was nothing but absurdity…”

“The Heavenly Master… to witness the grandeur of a Heavenly Master in one’s lifetime, tsk tsk…”

“Right, what was the name of that Heavenly Master again?”

“Zhang Shanfeng, I heard a true person from the Celestial Master Mansion mention this name.”

“Zhang Shanfeng, Heavenly Master Zhang…”

The strong individuals from the numerous righteous factions conversed among each other, and it was predictable that within a month, the news of a new Heavenly Master’s emergence in the Celestial Master Mansion would spread across the world.

At the waist of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Lin Yuan walked up the mountain path, step by step.

Following behind him were Master Cang Qing, Pingyang Taoist, and other disciples of the Celestial Master Mansion.

“Heavenly Master…”

Pingyang Taoist hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

Lin Yuan had once told him that he intended to follow the Path of the Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang and even aimed to merge them to surpass the Celestial Phenomena Realm.

At that time, Pingyang Taoist had thought Lin Yuan was crazy, as it was already extremely difficult to pursue the Path of the Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang, let alone to merge them.

But now, it seemed,

Lin Yuan had obviously succeeded.

Even outsiders could see that the power Lin Yuan displayed was different from that of previous Heavenly Masters.

As someone from the Celestial Phenomena Realm within the Celestial Master Mansion, Pingyang Taoist naturally had his own feelings about this.

That’s why he harbored doubts in his heart.

“I know what you want to ask.”

Lin Yuan halted his steps, looking over the scenery below the mountain.

“I have indeed integrated Taiyang and Taiyin.”

“After the fusion of Taiyin Pole Extreme and Taiyang Pole Extreme, I call it — Taiji.”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said.

At the same time, the Taiji symbol formed by the intertwining of the yin fish and yang fish appeared in the palm of Lin Yuan’s hand.

The extreme of Taiyin is Taiyang.

The extreme of Taiyang is Taiyin.

Taiyang and Taiyin together compose Taiji.

“Taiji… Taiji…”

Pingyang Taoist felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

This was a realm that the thirty-six generations of Celestial Masters of the Celestial Master Mansion had not touched, even the most powerful First Generation Celestial Master paled before the path of Taiji.

“The Path of Taiji is not for those without great perseverance, great opportunity, or great enlightenment.”

“I will imprint this path into my Celestial Master’s saber.”

“In the future, I will place this saber in the Sword Tomb. If a future disciple unconsciously conforms with the Dao of Taiji, the saber will fly out on its own.”

Lin Yuan continued to speak.

The Dao of Taiji was something he had comprehended in this world, and thus he would return it to this world.

The reason Lin Yuan did not directly record the Path of Taiji in books for inheritance was that the dual cultivation of Taiyang and Taiyin was too perilous.

Ordinary people who touched it would die.

If the complete Path of Taiji were made available for all to see, it was feared that the Celestial Master Mansion wouldn’t last many years before self-destructing.

Inside a Taoist temple on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Lin Yuan stood in front of a bed.

Behind him, Master Cang Qing, Pingyang, and others all stood respectfully.

Lin Yuan looked towards the bed, where Taoist Changqing lay in a coma.

Taoist Changqing had fought with a powerful practitioner of the Demonic Tao and ultimately had been infused with Demonic Qi deep into his viscera.

This caused his consciousness to sink into a coma, from which he could not awake.

Such an injury was difficult to cure, and even practitioners in the Celestial Phenomena Realm could do nothing, only relying on the patient himself, hoping that one day, if the Demonic Qi in the viscera dissipated enough, he might wake up on his own.

Of course.

Such injuries, for Lin Yuan at this time, naturally were not a concern.

With the power of Taiji bringing balance between yin and yang, it only took a few breaths for him to completely expel the Demonic Qi from Taoist Changqing’s body.

Half an hour later.

Taoist Changqing gradually regained consciousness.

“Shanfeng…”

Seeing Lin Yuan first, Taoist Changqing became excited immediately.

“I found the trail of the ‘Yin Snake’ Helmsman who acted against Zhang Family Fort back then, but when I tracked it down, I ended up ambushed…”

“That ‘Yin Snake’ Helmsman was well-prepared, and with all my strength, I only managed to seriously injure him before being struck by others…”

Taoist Changqing said this with a bewildered look in his eyes.

He knew nothing of what happened after that.

“No matter.”

“I will personally reclaim the vendetta for Zhang Family Fort.”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

“Shanfeng, those people from the Demonic Sect are extremely cunning, you must not personally undertake such risks.”

Upon hearing this, Taoist Changqing’s tone immediately became serious.

He himself was a living example. He thought he was the hunter, but ended up falling into the ‘Yin Snake’ Helmsman’s trap.

“You…”

Taoist Changqing was about to continue ‘educating’ Lin Yuan a bit more.

However, Taoist Pingyang, standing beside, found it a bit unbearable to watch.

“Changqing, what are you saying?”

“In front of you is Celestial Master Zhang.”

“Mind your tone and words.”

Taoist Pingyang subtly hinted to Taoist Changqing with a glance.

“Ah?”

“Celestial Master Zhang?”

“Shanfeng became Celestial Master Zhang?”

Taoist Changqing’s face filled with confusion, and it wasn’t until he saw Master Cang Qing and many other prominent individuals standing respectfully behind Lin Yuan that his mouth slowly fell open.

I just fell asleep, and Shanfeng became the Celestial Master?
