Chapter 983: Chapter 229 Five Immortals’ Dream Order (For the Sake of Extreme Love, an Extra Dose of Handsomeness)
Fan Qingqing presented a Yu Ce that primarily recorded the ancestral masters of the Five Immortal Sect’s understanding of the "The Chart of Ten Thousand Immortals Coming to Court."
The introduction was entirely transcribed by the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect in the Yang Country script.
Jiang Wang, whose current Qi Country script absorbed the Yang Country script, found it not difficult to read.
These Yang Country characters also matched the historical event when the Yang Country fell, and in one day over to the sea went two thousand three, and All Sects by the Sea were established. It corroborated that this was indeed the handwriting of the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
After careful consideration, Jiang Wang discovered that the ancestral masters of the Five Immortal Sect and he basically agreed in their understanding of this text, except for two differences.
The first was the opening line, "All things have spirits, and man is the spirit of all things."
The Five Immortal Sect’s ancestors wrote, "Man is the spirit source of all things."
One spirit "leader," one spirit "source."
The former suggests being outstanding among peers, leaning towards "the best."
The latter has a fundamental flavor, leaning towards "the original."
It’s hard to say which is right and which is wrong, and though Jiang Wang was very confident in his judgment, he also found the judgment of the Five Immortal Sect’s ancestral masters quite reasonable.
The second difference was the line, "From head to toe, all veins and muscles, all turn to our Sect."
The Five Immortal Sect’s ancestors wrote, "All turn to my Sect."
One is "our," one is "my."
The words are very similar, but they also have some differences.
The first emphasizes "core," while the latter emphasizes "self."
As the saying goes, "the stones of other mountains can be used to polish jade," and through the understanding of the Five Immortal Sect’s ancestral masters, indeed, Jiang Wang gained new insights. Inspiration, clashing together, revealed more brilliance. He understood "The Chart of Ten Thousand Immortals Coming to Court" on a deeper level.
Reading the hearts of the Five Immortal Sect’s generations of Sect Masters and elders was, essentially, a validation of cultivation practices.
Yet, the most valuable part of the Yu Ce was on the four most divine shadowy figures of immortals on "The Chart of Ten Thousand Immortals Coming to Court."
These four shadowy figures were surely more complete in the past. For the Yu Ce recorded many thoughts on these four shades, which, compared to the ignored shades of other immortals, clearly had more room for thought.
Among them, the most prominent was the shadowy figure representing the position of the ears.
Because there were more records, more inspiration, more detailed discussions, they even managed to organize the most original cultivation methods!
It is called— "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon."
Having scrutinized it, Jiang Wang found this canon indeed thought-provoking and profoundly mystical, carrying the momentum of secret scripts from the Immortal Palace. It likely derived directly from the immortals’ shadowy figures’ inspirations, possibly with minor omissions due to personal insight and cultivation. In essence, it was still a legacy, belonging to high-quality cultivation treasure canons.
But there was an unsolvable problem, also the biggest one—Technique Introducer!
The core difference between the Immortal Technique System and other Dao Techniques lies in the Technique Introducer.
This "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon" was exquisite, but it did not mention at all what the Technique Introducer was for cultivating this canon or how to explore and search for it. Perhaps in the Ancient Times, that wasn’t a problem, but in the present world, the Technique Introducer itself has become the greatest barrier before Immortal Techniques.
If Jiang Wang hadn’t received the Green Cloud Pavilion, hadn’t had the continuous Shanfu Qingyun, even if he had studied the "Walk in the Sky" thoroughly, he couldn’t use it with ease.
According to the records on the Yu Ce, the ancestral masters of the Five Immortal Sect also discovered that this "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon" was missing something crucial. They didn’t know what it was, and to ensure secrecy, they dared not investigate the history related to the Immortal Palace openly.
But he was a genius. Even though unaware of the missing Technique Introducer in the "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon," and ignorant of what it was, he figured out a method to compensate for the Technique Introducer!
That is the origin of the Five Immortal Sect’s Dao Technique.
The latter half of the Yu Ce recorded the totality of Five Immortal Sect’s Dao Technique, known as the "Dream Order."
Created by the ancestors of the Five Immortal Sect, it was perfected by generations of Sect Leaders and elders.
What was recorded on this Yu Ce were the thoughts of all the Sect Leaders and elders of the Five Immortal Sect through the ages, and the Dao Technique system of the Five Immortal Sect represented the process of realizing those thoughts into practice.
"Dream Order" served as an alternative to the Technique Introducer. Using "Dream Order" as the Technique Introducer and the "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon" as the foundation, they created the cultivation methods of the "Five Immortals."
Initially, Jiang Wang didn’t think too highly of it, feeling that the Dao Techniques of the Five Immortal Sect were just somewhat distinctive. However, upon closer reflection, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed of his own arrogance.
What concept is a "Technique Introducer"? It’s no exaggeration to say that it could almost be equivalent to the foundation of the Immortal Technique system.
Yet, such an obscure minor Sect like the Five Immortal Sect had researched and developed a method to replace the Technique Introducer!
Though this replacement had many flaws and wasn’t perfect, which made such a high-level Immortal Technique like the "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon" relatively mediocre,
it was still a brilliant, ingenious feat!
Looking across the entire Near Sea Archipelago, the Five Immortal Sect on the insignificant Youxia Island was hardly noteworthy. Few powerful individuals would take notice.
For those young prodigies from famous families, Major Sects, mighty countries, instructed by True Men, guided by divine presences... Looking around the world, what significance is a Sect whose highest battle power only reaches the External Building Environment?
But even such an insignificant Sect has solidified efforts, wisdom, and tears. It too has a history full of twists, turns, and glory.
Had it not been for the tragic eradication of the Sect, with the continually repaired and perfected "Dream Order" through generations, had it allied with the battleships of Qi Country, it might have risen to prominence one day.
But speaking of this now is meaningless.
The Five Immortal Sect had been entirely obliterated, and those personal epic narratives came to an abrupt end.
And now, the history of the Five Immortal Sect rested in Jiang Wang’s hands.
"After a long while, not knowing how much time had passed, Jiang Wang closed the Yu Ce and couldn’t help but sigh," "It’s truly remarkable."
The "Dream Order" definitely doesn’t count as a top-tier Fa Men. Apart from the "Sound" section, the remaining four parts significantly hold it back.
Even for the "Sound" section itself, it couldn’t completely compare with the "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon."
It was only natural that the alternative method, "Dream Order," fell far short of the Immortal Techniques of the Myriad Immortals Palace, which once dominated an era’s cultivation wisdom.
The significance of the "Dream Order" lay in that it pioneered another possibility for inheriting Immortal Techniques.
If one day "Dream Order" could fully replace the effects of the Technique Introducer, it would mean that the entire Immortal Technique system could be incorporated into the Dao Technique system—something nearly impossible to achieve. But just to conceive of such an idea and to take even a small step forward was, in itself, a form of greatness.
So Jiang Wang sighed with admiration again and again because he genuinely thought it was remarkable!
Fan Qingqing said respectfully, "To receive praise from you is an honor for your subordinate."
"You help me protect the law, and I will try to cultivate," Jiang Wang instructed directly.
Form, sound, taste, touch, these four parts were too rudimentary from Jiang Wang’s current perspective and not worth learning. However, the "Sound" section was worth a closer study.
If a Technique Introducer could be found, this would be one "Sound Transmission Immortal Canon," and if not, the sophistication of the "Sound" section was far superior to the other four parts.
Protector wasn’t necessary at this time, but it signified closeness and acceptance.
Fan Qingqing clearly understood.
She bowed her head slightly, "Please rest assured, my lord."
