Chapter 7206 Achieve the Dao Through Power

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The palace masters massive barbarian dragon body filled the sky in an empty land. He had created a true domain, and this domain was filled with wild currents of the Grand Daos might.

Although this pressure wasnt hostile, it was still almost suffocating for Miao Yin and Zi Yan. The two women were shocked. Even though he was also a half-step Heavenly Sovereign, the palace masters Sovereign might was many times stronger than Li Yifus. In other words, the palace master was only showing his true power nowif he had actually wanted to kill Li Yifu before, Li Yifu would have long since reincarnated.

If you control law power in the Divine Sovereign realm, then what you control in the Heavenly Sovereign is Grand Dao power. But what is the Dao?

The palace masters voice sounded holy, completely different from his usual brash tone.

It was the same question again. Long Chen was certainly capable of spouting a bunch of nonsense about it, but after reaching this level, he was finding the Grand Dao to be more and more profound. It was truly indescribable.

The palace master continued, This might surprise you, but I was also never able to understand it. It was the sweeping elder who gave me enlightenment and let me gain some understanding. It was this enlightenment that allowed me to touch the Heavenly Sovereign realm and take half a step into it.

Are you curious why Li Yifu is so much weaker despite also being a half-step Heavenly Sovereign? That is because although he had reached the gate, he failed to take a look inside the courtyard before going in. He lifted his foot, stepped over the threshold, and then realized that he couldnt see a path in front of him, so what was he supposed to step on? That is why he has been stuck for countless years. By the point you met him, he was already panicking.

The Heavens Peer Dao Sect is his chance to plant his foot down solidly. If he misses it, he will never fully step into the Heavenly Sovereign realm. That is why he was willing to sell out his entire sect. It was all in hopes of reaching the Heavenly Sovereign realm.

Long Chen and the others nodded. It seemed that taking this step was incredibly dangerous. The difficulty of this one step was probably beyond their comprehension. It was no wonder that Li Yifu had been willing to sell out the Immortal Ascension Gate and even his own life. It was all for this one step.

Dean Long Chen, have you heard about this? The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name, said the palace master.

Long Chen sank into thought. Based on my understanding If you try to describe what the Dao is, then what you describe is not the Dao that you wish to express. The Dao is something that can be understood, but any descriptions of it are limited. As a result, it cannot be expressed in its entirety with just words.

Furthermore, the Dao has countless transformations. It can constantly change. By the time you describe it, it might have transformed into another state. Because the Dao is constantly changing, no matter how someone speaks of the Dao, they only speak of one of its countless forms.

As a result, you can say that the Dao is the order of the world, but you cannot say that the order of the world is the Dao. You can say that the Dao are the natural laws, but the natural laws are not the Dao. The Dao is energy, but energy is not the Dao.

As for a name that can be spoken is not the true name, that is because the Dao is formless and normal people cannot sense it, let alone touch it. If people want to know something, they must know its name. But once something is named, it transforms; that which is formless takes form.

We see something and affix its form to its name. That makes it easier for us to distinguish things and understand their natures. However, things are in constant transformation. We can name a plant that gradually transforms until its nature is no longer the same as what its name states. Then we will have to give it a new name. As we change their names, we better understand them. But the more we understand them, the more their names change.

Thus, a name is only a temporary designation. We can give the Dao a name, but we cannot be tricked by this name, because names can never express the essence of something constantly transforming.

The palace master was shocked by Long Chens response. It was almost entirely the same as what the sweeping elder had explained to him. He sighed inside. As expected of the youngest dean in the High Firmament Academys history. I truly envy your comprehension

However, while he was envious, he also understood that humans were the lifeforms closest to the Heavenly Daos, and it was precisely due to this affinity with the Heavenly Daos that it was easier for them to lose themselves. The human race was the one whose character fluctuated the most. They were the ones who no one could ever understand. Almost every race had been taken advantage of by the human race at some point. Betrayal, tricks, schemesthe human race never ran out of such things.

It came as no surprise that there werent that many who felt friendly towards the human race. How could one tie true friendship bonds with a person whose character changed constantly? Most other races only felt contempt or hatred for humanity, and many chose to distance themselves. Just from this, it was possible to tell how difficult it must have been for the Star Master to unite the ten thousand races against the outsider devils back in the day.

Then, Dean Long Chen, what is your understanding of the Dao? asked the palace master.

Long Chen immediately said, My understanding of the Dao is that it is power!

This time Miao Yin and Zi Yan looked at him in confusion. His previous answer could be called perfect, and the two of them had also benefited from it. But this response was incredibly crude.

Miss Zi Yan, what do you understand to be the Dao? asked the palace master.

Zi Yan said, Senior, I believe the Dao is virtue. Because the Dao is not something that can be grasped in your hands, it must be something achieved through virtue. Thus, there is the Dao Virtue Scripture. The merger of the Dao and virtue will make it much easier to comprehend the Grand Dao. For example, many scriptures describe the virtue of the heavens, the virtue of the earth, the virtue of water, the virtue of kings. By constantly switching viewpoints, you can use different facets of virtue to understand the Dao.

Miao Yin nodded at Zi Yans explanation. Her viewpoint was the same: Using virtue to achieve the Dao should be the easiest way. Indeed, she and Zi Yan were both music cultivators. They used music to peer into the heavens, and used the eyes of heaven to see all things. They searched for the workings of the Dao in the life and death of all lifeforms.

The palace master was once more surprised. While Long Chens first statement was almost the same as the sweeping elders, his second one was completely different. Instead, it was Zi Yans response that matched the sweeping elders.

Then, Dean Long Chen, you plan to use power to achieve the Dao? probed the palace master. This development was a bit beyond his expectations.

Long Chen nodded firmly. Yes!

The palace master thought about it for a moment. Then this is a bit different from what the sweeping elder expected. But thats fine. I will now display the Grand Dao power that I managed to comprehend from the sweeping elders advice. I hope it can give you some inspiration!

The palace masters massive dragon body lit up. His scles were shining brightly, illuminating heaven and earth. His powerful Blood Qi rose, and then merged into heaven and earth. Violet qi suddenly filled the air, and the palace masters Blood Qi merged with it, forming a multicolored rainbow that hung in the sky.

When he saw that rainbow, Long Chens heart suddenly clenched.
