Chapter 263: Comprehending Dao Principles
“Little friend, let’s not act recklessly here. Things haven’t gone south to the point where you have to pull off such a move.” Su Hanhai was shocked by what he was seeing and he hurriedly stepped forward to stopLin Mo.
The Origin Spirit Puppet was highly valuable, and it would be a crying shame to have is self-destruct.
Furthermore, the puppet was supposed to be one of Lin Mo’s trump cards. Should he lose it, his safety in future scenarios would be jeopardized.
“Junior, this old man doesn’t believe that you’re really going to make that puppet self-destruct,” the fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land said provocatively.
Even though those were his own words, the elder dared not step take a single step forward and had assumed a defensive stance. He chose to act with caution.
If a puppet of this level were to self-destruct, even he would be injured by the explosive power it would unleash.
If that were the case, he would not be able to fight for the heirloom should it finally appear.
“Let’s just call a truce for now, shall we? I’m sure the main goal of everyone here is to comprehend the Dao principles contained within this palace. You mustn’t let your personal grudges ruin everyone’s experience…”
Elder Mo spoke up at this moment.
When Elder Mo spoke, everyone around nodded in agreement.
A number of powerhouses at tier 30 and tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm looked at Lin Mo and the fifth elder with disdain.
Everyone present was trying to obtain resources to improve their cultivation base, yet, those two individuals were threatening to destroy it all over a petty squabble.
“Alright… I’ll do as Elder Mo says…”
The fifth elder of the Primordial Sun Holy Land gnashed his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. If he did not back down here, he might find himself with more enemies to take on than just Lin Mo alone.
Moreover, since it was Elder Mo who had given him the warning, he needed to comply as it would be treated as an act of disrespect otherwise.
“Good. Now, everyone, please line up according to your personal strength.”
The moment Elder Mo finished speaking, he immediately flew to the front of the invisible light screen, sat on the ground, and began to comprehend the Dao principles contained within the screen of light.
As the only one present who was half-a-step into the Nirvana Realm, it was his natural right to lay claim to the front most spot.
Upon seeing this, Su Hanhai, Qin Yu, and several powerhouses stepped forward, sat cross-legged in the second row, and began to cultivate.
Very quickly, everyone else followed suit. Although Lin Mo and Bai Luo could technically sit in the third row with the strength they possessed, they chose not to.
Perhaps it was due to their natural talent, but their distance from the light screen did not seem to affect their cultivation rate too much. With that being the case, they had chosen to sit behind instead.
“Big brother, big sister Bai Luo, I’m seeing two types of Dao principles. Which one should I comprehend?”
Once they were properly seated, Lin Die questioned Lin Mo and Bai Luo.
“They’re probably Dao principles of flames and spear techniques. If that’s the case, you should comprehend the spear techniques. After all, you were born with the innate ability to comprehend fire Dao principles. As such, you’ll eventually pick them up without external help.”
Bai Luo instructed Lin Die, and at the same time, she also told Lin Mo to do the same with his sword techniques.
Dao principles related to weapons were extremely precious since they were the hardest type of Dao principle to comprehend.
As such, should the opportunity present itself to them, they should do everything in their power to understand them.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged, listening to the sound of the Great Dao and observing the Dao written on the screen of light.
Before long, he sank into a deep level of cultivation, and in his tranced state, he envisioned himself transforming into a form of a dagger.
The dagger slowly grew into a sharpsword.
Gradually, it became infused with spiritual energy and evolved into a tier 1 spirit weapon.
Throughout the simulation, the spirit blade clashed against all sorts of weapons, slicing and hacking away at its enemies as it gradually evolved.
Lin Mo was fully immersed in the illusion, unable to extricate himself. Using this sort of medium to convey Dao principles was nothing short of a wonder method.
“And so, I ‘ve reached the spirit-grade…”
Lin Mo whispered under his breath. Before he realized, his sword had already reached the spirit-grade, as could be observed from its radiant sheen which resonated with his own personal aura.
Lin Mo’s God Devouring Body was triggered, and suddenly, a mysterious power began to seep into the illusion.
The God Devouring Body underwent a transformation. It mixed with the spiritual energy of the spirit blade and as time went by, the blade’s radiant sheen began to fade away.
In its place, a sparkling white orb of liquid appeared. It seem to be a form of condensed spiritual energy.
Slowly, but surely, the white orb of liquid turned golden. As more and more Dao principles were added in, flames began to ignite across the golden liquid’s surface and within it.
The God Devouring Body began to circulate its energy, and a small black hole appeared within Lin Mo’s dantian. It was extremely profound, and it absorbed spiritual energy from all directions.
At it did so, Lin Mo observed how each of the previous Dao principles he had comprehended come together, mingling and integrating into something that was greater than their individual parts.
Suddenly, Lin Mo was enlightened. He began to see more, and parts that used to be obscure to him gradually turned clearer.
He had received massive gains from this experience. The golden flames within the black hole were set ablaze, and Lin Mo could distinctly feel something brewing within the flames,
Gradually, the Dao principles written on the screen of light came to a stop, and Lin Mo could no longer read anything.
From this, Lin Mo realized that he had fully comprehended all that the light screen could convey to him, and he was greatly moved by such a realization.
Cultivating in such a manner was nothing short of a magical experience to him. He had started off by following the way of a sword, and in the end, he had integrated all the lessons he learned while being a sword into his other techniques.
Nevertheless, Lin Mo’s cultivation’s realm was still at tier 18, and the experience had did nothing to improve his cultivation realm.
“The golden divine flames within my dantian seems to be forging something. I wonder what it is? Could it be my Dao?”
Lin Mo frowned. Although his cultivation session had come to an end, he remained in deep thought as he tried to verify the lessons he had learned.
As for the rest of his party, they were all still trying to comprehend the Dao principles that were presented to them. Bai Luo’s aura had grown stronger since he last saw her, and since her cultivation realm was higher than Lin Mo’s, it was only natural that she needed a longer time to comprehend her Dao principles.
Despite racking his brain, Lin Mo was still unable to come up with any ideas as to what was happening within his body.
The golden flames within him were constantly devouring spiritual energy, not of his own, but from the surroundings.
Seeing as what was transpiring was beyond his ability to comprehend, Lin Mo simply stood up and looked around. However, much to his surprise, no one had yet to finish their cultivation session.
Some of them were comprehending martial arts, while others were comprehending cultivation techniques.
There were very few people like him who had the chance to comprehend raw Dao principles.
After all, the Dragon Transformation Realm was a stage that focused on cultivating one’s physical body via improvement of the spine.
However, geniuses such as Lin Mo had already come into contact with Dao principles early on. Usually, the comprehension of Dao principles only took place in the Nirvana Realm.
Lin Mo closed his eyes to rest his mind and protected Bai Luo and the others.
At the same time, he had also summoned his Origin Spirit Puppet to keep guard.
Once others had woken up around Lin Mo, they were shocked by what they had seen.
They knew very well what Lin Mo had spent his cultivation session comprehending. It was undoubtedly the same thing as what Elder Mo and the other powerhouses were comprehending, it was the Great Dao principles.
They were a type of Dao principle in which only Nirvana Realm cultivators could comprehend. Most ordinary folks did not even have the right to lay eyes on such profundities.
Moreover, Lin Mo had only taken two hours to fully comprehend the Great Dao principles.
Not only that, from the looks of it, he did not seem to be very satisfied with his gains. They felt frustrated just looking at him.
Just as everyone had thought, Lin Mo was indeed not very satisfied with what he had learned.
Sure, he might have comprehended some Great Dao principles regarding sword techniques, and had even nurtured an orb of divine golden flame within dantian, but still, he knew not of the purpose the flames served.
He felt like a spectator watching the changes taking place within his body.
“Could there be a sword being forged within this divine flame?” Lin Mo’s thoughts ran.
If that were the case, it would be a heaven-defying and unprecedented scenario. After all, he had not even learned how to forge yet, and here his God Devouring Body was, forging a blade for him instead.
At this moment, Lin Mo stared in front of him. He felt that there was something strange about the area caught within the screen of light.
It was the place where Su Hanhai and many other powerhouses had fought each other for treasures earlier.
Logically speaking, such an intense battle should have resulted in massive damages.
However, as far as Lin Mo could tell by peering into it, there was not a single trace of blood, let alone any traces of battle.
“How can this palace be this sturdy?” Lin Mo sighed. After all, the people who had fought there earlier were extremely powerful.
“Wait, no blood?”
