Chapter 14685 Self-Improvement
The man in the green robe nodded, his tone absolutely certain:
“Of course you can. You already possess the Demon God Dharma Form, which is one of the most powerful and terrifying Dharma Forms on the Bai Ze Continent. As long as you can comprehend the core essence of your own demonic intent, solidify your foundation, and condense your Dharma Form domain, it will be a natural process.”
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, looking at the ethereal yet unfathomable man in green robes before him, and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you not in your true form right now either?"
Upon hearing this, the man in the green robe smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on the depths of the distant starry river, his tone ethereal: "Not our true form. The place we are in is... more than ten thousand miles away from this world."
"Is it somewhere outside the boundary?" Ling Xiao asked, his eyes full of curiosity... Outside the boundary, that is a higher dimension that countless martial artists dream of.
The man in the green robe shook his head and smiled, then patted his shoulder.
"You don't need to ask any more questions. For now, don't think about these unrealistic things. Focus on your cultivation and solidify your foundation. That's the right path. Your future path is long and boundless. You will face countless storms and powerful enemies. Without sufficient strength, even if you have opportunities, you can only look on with envy and find it difficult to make any progress."
Ling Xiao nodded emphatically, suppressing all distracting thoughts. He looked up at the faintly emerging phantom of the demon god's dharma image deep within his sea of consciousness, his mind instantly immersed in the comprehension of the dharma image domain.
He naturally knew about the field.
The top experts in the Silent Realm almost all have their own unique domains, which are force fields set up around their bodies based on the laws they cultivate. These fields can weaken enemies and amplify themselves.
However, those domains are nothing compared to the "Dharma Realm" that the man in the green robe just displayed. They are like fireflies compared to the bright moon, not even on the same level! The former is just a rudimentary application of the laws, while the latter is a supreme means of creating its own world and controlling the rules!
Ling Xiao still felt a sense of ambiguity, finding it difficult to grasp the true mysteries of the Dharma Realm.
But the fleeting glimpse of the "Dharma Form Domain" from the man in the green robe had already opened a door to a completely new world for him. It turned out that the ultimate ability of the "Dharma Form" was not merely an increase in combat power, but could also manifest as a "realm," defining its own boundaries and dominating a region!
He looked at the man in the green robe, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge and a hint of confusion: "Senior, this realm is too profound. This junior... does not know where to begin to comprehend it."
The man in the green robe smiled gently, a hint of approval in his eyes:
"Ignorance is the norm. The path of cultivation is a process of moving from ignorance to knowledge, from confusion to enlightenment. Don't expect me to directly teach you specific methods; that would be of no benefit to you."
"Only what you discover through your own understanding is the true 'Tao' that belongs to you, the one that will accompany you throughout your life and help you reach the pinnacle. Contemplate it calmly and have faith in yourself."
Ling Xiao remained silent, repeatedly pondering these words, feeling that every word was precious, like a thunderclap exploding in his mind.
The man in the green robe said again:
"It is a great blessing to be born into this world and receive help from a benefactor. However, one must never develop a mindset of relying on others for everything. For many times, heaven cannot save you, earth cannot support you, and even a benefactor cannot protect you. The only one you can truly rely on is yourself."
He looked at Ling Xiao, his tone becoming increasingly solemn: "A man should strive to be strong and self-reliant, to become a mountain that people can rely on, rather than a vine that always seeks support. Do you understand?"
Ling Xiao was jolted awake, as if struck by lightning, and suddenly understood. He bowed deeply to the man in the green robe, his tone unwavering: "This junior understands! Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
The man in the green robe nodded and smiled slightly: "Then calm down and contemplate this. You don't have much time left, so don't waste it."
After saying this, he turned and left with the sleepy little white beast on his shoulder.
The instant he turned around, without looking back, several streams of spiritual light imbued with ancient Daoist charm silently entered Ling Xiao's mind between his brows, like stars...
It was not a specific cultivation method, but rather some fragments of insights the man in the green robe had gained when he was comprehending the Dharma Form and the Dharma Form Domain. They were guiding lights and sparks of inspiration.
A moment later, Ling Xiao sat cross-legged atop the sea of clouds, closed his eyes, and completely immersed his mind in that vast ocean of thoughts, beginning to comprehend, contemplate, and deduce word by word.
悟！
At this moment, only one word was on his mind!
Just as Ling Xiao was immersed in his enlightenment and oblivious to everything around him, the man in the green robe and the little white beast had already stepped into a strange and desolate world.
This place has no sun, moon, or stars, only a gray sky and cracked earth, and the air is filled with a deathly atmosphere.
After walking for a while, the man in the green robe suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead, an irregular crack suddenly appeared in the void. The crack was not pure darkness, but rather a strange flow of viscous, chaotic, and ever-changing energy.
Countless distorted shadows flickered within the energy flow, emanating an unsettling aura of "nothingness" and "disorder."
Even more bizarrely, from the depths of the crevice came a low, hissing sound that was not in any known language, yet could reach the level of the soul, as if countless chaotic wills were talking incoherently at the same time, trying to bewitch people.
Gazing at the all-consuming void rift, the man in the green robe fell into a brief silence.
After a long silence, a slight smile played on his lips as he softly uttered three words, his tone calm yet carrying an indescribable depth:
"A calamity, perhaps..."
He stood still for a while, without making any movement or saying anything. He simply turned around, took the small white beast on his shoulder, and drifted away as he had come, his figure gradually disappearing into the gray horizon.
……
Time slipped away quietly in quiet contemplation; I didn't know how much time had passed, nor how long it had gone by.
During this period, the only thing Ling Xiao did was to "comprehend".
More accurately, it involves absorbing, digesting, and deducing the fragments of insights about the Dharma realm left behind by the man in the green robe.
These fragments, like a high-level guide, though not involving specific moves or methods, gave him an unprecedentedly clear understanding of his own path and the essence of the use of "power".
The fog ahead was cleared, and the direction suddenly became much clearer.
His current goal has become incredibly clear... to try to build his own "Dharma Realm"!
With the image of a demon god as its bones, its own demonic intent as its soul, and its bloodline origin as its foundation, it has created its own demonic world that dominates destruction and rebirth!
The man in the green robe did not specify how to do it, nor did he leave any shortcuts.
This is a fundamental question that he must answer himself, and also an essential path to a higher level.
How can we truly "establish a domain through the law"?
Lingxiao sat cross-legged atop the sea of clouds, his mind sinking into his sea of consciousness. His gaze was fixed intently on the increasingly solidified image of the demon god. In his mind, countless thoughts burst forth, collided, and vanished like sparks.
