Chapter 101 Zhen Yuanzi's Harvest
As Zhen Yuanzi listened, he kept confirming the truth in his heart.
He compared the "softness" of water with the "bearing" of the earth, the "hardness" of water with the "explosion" of the earth when it is still and then moves, and compared the imperial order of the ancestral dragon with his own concept of sorting out the earth's veins and constructing the rules of the inner world, gaining much insight.
In particular, the adaptable wisdom of water, which is "shapeless," gave him a lot of inspiration, allowing him to understand "tolerance" not only as passive acceptance, but also as active adaptation and guidance.
As the Ancestral Dragon's Daoist voice faded, Zhulong's voice, seemingly spanning countless ages, slowly rose, carrying a unique temporal rhythm: "The Daos of the two fellow Daoists, one laying the foundation for existence, the other vast and all-encompassing, both command the admiration of Zhulong. However, in the world, there is still a power that transcends form and pervades all—time."
He did not manifest any earth-shattering phenomena, but with his Daoist voice, "time" itself within the entire Daoist discourse space seemed to become a perceptible entity.
In the void, a hazy, endless, and ever-flowing river appeared! It was a fleeting glimpse of time, woven from the destinies of countless beings, fragments of the world's birth and death, and threads of cause and effect!
"Time is silent, without beginning or end; it propels everything and buries everything."
The voice of the Candle Dragon echoed from ancient times: "All things rise and fall in the long river of time, from birth to prosperity, and then from prosperity to decline. This is the natural order of 'passing away,' and it is irreversible."
In the illusory image of the long river, a seed appears, breaking through the soil, growing, reaching the sky, and finally withering and turning into dust; a divine mountain rises, becomes majestic, receives the essence of the sun and moon, and finally collapses in the great calamity—a sense of vastness and destiny arises that all things are unable to escape the great power of time.
"However, time is not merely a passing phase." The first light of dawn shone in Zhulong's left eye. "In the microscopic realm, there are moments of birth and death, flashes of lightning—this is the acceleration of time"; in specific domains, the void can be solidified, freezing an eternal instant—this is the stagnation of time"; even, fragments of the past can be glimpsed, revealing a corner of the future—this is the rewinding and foresight of time."
As he narrated, some tributaries of the river of time seemed to accelerate, some fragments seemed to freeze like ice, and some past scenes that had passed and some vague future possibilities appeared and disappeared in the river.
The profound and terrifying nature of the Great Dao of Time—its ability to control flow, interfere with cause and effect, and peer into the trajectory of destiny—is beginning to emerge!
"My mastery of time is not to defy fate, but to understand the laws of time, to grasp the eternal moment in the flow, and to find a glimmer of change in destiny."
Zhulong concluded with a voice imbued with a transcendent wisdom.
As Zhulong's Daoist voice faded, a tremendous wave surged within Zhen Yuanzi's heart! The Great Dao of Time! This was the first time he had ever listened so closely and systematically to a Primordial Golden Immortal expounding on the laws of time!
He keenly grasped every subtle mystery in the Daoist essence of the Candle Dragon and rapidly verified it with his own Dao.
"Time flows on, and the world changes—this change is what works on the earth! Mountains are weathered, valleys are carved, and plains are piled up—time is the greatest craftsman who shapes the earth's landscape!"
My way of the earth contains accumulation, and this process of accumulation is the manifestation of the passage of time!
My understanding of the changing landscape can be infused with the dimension of time, making it more dynamic and historical!
"At the same time, the earth—it bears the marks of time! Ancient fossils, geological sequences, and even the changes in spiritual veins are all imprints left by time on the earth!"
My Way of the Earth, which carries the true meaning, can not only bear matter, energy, and laws, but also—time itself! It encompasses the power of time within its bounds!
"And if that acceleration and stagnation of time could be integrated into the chaos within my body and evolved, or combined with the Earth Reincarnation Divine Power when fighting enemies, could it have a miraculous effect?"
For example, could one accelerate the passage of time within a cycle of illusions, causing the opponent to endure millennia of torment in an instant? Or could one freeze a localized area of spacetime, forming an absolute defense?
One after another, sparks of inspiration flew through Zhen Yuanzi's mind! His understanding of the earth itself, infused with the laws of time, instantly expanded to a completely new and unprecedented level!
He seemed to see that on the boundless earth, there was not only endless space, but also a rushing river of time flowing on the surface and deep within, together forming a complete "existence".
His "Earth Chaos Scripture" seemed to operate more dynamically, and a vague concept of the passage of time began to emerge in that chaotic phantom.
When Zulong and Zhulong listened to each other's Dao, especially Zhen Yuanzi's Dao of Chaos, which encompassed all things and pointed directly to the foundation, they each had their own insights.
From Zhen Yuanzi's description of the earth's "constancy" and "accumulation," the First Emperor saw another possible path for his dynasty's pursuit of "eternal stability," not merely relying on power and strength, but requiring a profound and enduring force, like the earth itself.
A foundation and heritage that can withstand the test of time.
From the passage of time observed by Zhulong, he became more aware of the insignificance of imperial power in the long river of time, which inspired him to cultivate himself more diligently in order to transcend the limitations of time.
Zhulong saw in Zhen Yuanzi's earth "bearing" the "carrier" and "recorder" of the power of time, which gave him a deeper understanding of the concrete influence of the laws of time.
From the "unpredictable" nature of water in the First Emperor's reign and the "order" of the imperial way.
He saw another manifestation of "change" and "unchanging" in the passage of time, which inspired his understanding of the laws governing time itself.
The Great Daos of the three Primordial Golden Immortals constantly collided, merged, and verified each other in this space, with the sound of Dao booming and strange phenomena appearing. Sometimes, the ground was covered with black and yellow, and eras changed.
At times, all rivers flow towards the source, symbolizing imperial ambitions; at other times, the long river of time flows through everything. Countless runes of the Great Dao are born and die, the patterns of laws flicker with light and darkness, and sparks of wisdom illuminate the fog ahead.
Meanwhile, Hongyun, who was listening from the sidelines, was already completely immersed in this unprecedented feast of Dao realm.
The three Primordial Golden Immortals expounded on the fundamental laws of the world from different perspectives. In particular, the Ancestral Dragon's detailed and nuanced analysis of the Great Dao of Water, which combined strength and gentleness, as well as the combination of the vast imperial fortune and laws, nourished his heart, which yearned for a breakthrough, like sweet rain.
The Four Symbols Origin within him, which had become slightly agitated due to his breakthrough in the Fire element, quickly returned to balance and harmony under the soothing and enlightenment of the pure and vast Water Dao.
His understanding of the "softness," "hardness," "changeability," and "moistness" of water has increased dramatically. The bottleneck at the peak of the Great Luo realm is now as thin as a cicada's wing, as if it could be completely broken through at any moment!
This discussion, which involved the three supreme laws of earth, water, and time, was far more profound and fruitful than the previous trip to the immortal volcano.
Every participant gained immeasurable benefits from this clash of wisdom and Dao, laying a more solid foundation for their future path. Deep within the Dragon Palace, the Daoist spirit lingers, and this grand event continues—
