He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Daoist aura flowing in the courtyard, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity: "The first of the eight ancestral skills of my Chen clan—the Descent of the Sword God—is renowned for its unparalleled power and equally demanding cultivation difficulty."

"The cultivation process constantly tests the depth of the practitioner's compatibility with the Seven Kill Sword, the purity of their spiritual will, and their absolute control over the subtlest glimmer of sword intent."

"If one possesses this kind of original intent that can bridge the gap between man and weapon, the mental and physical damage and backlash encountered when cultivating the Sword God's Descent will be greatly reduced, and the path to that supreme sword realm will undoubtedly be much smoother."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the courtyard and reach into the wider world of cultivation: "Actually, it's not just the unique sword techniques of my Chen family."

"Many martial spirit mysteries, talent domains, and even breakthroughs in realms in the world reach certain limits..."

"The existence of the original intention is like laying a foundation stone on the thorny path. It allows the Soul Master to 'see' more clearly, 'communicate' more freely, and 'control' the essence of their own power more efficiently."

Chen Cong withdrew his gaze and turned it back to Chen Xiaojun, adding meaningfully, "Even... the path of martial spirit evolution may be inseparable from the ultimate understanding of the mind."

"Take Tang San as an example. He awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, which eventually transformed the supple Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Emperor, the peak quality of the martial soul... While there were external factors that catalyzed this, the ultimate resonance between the awakener's inner self and the origin of the martial soul, and the profound connection that transcends subject and object—that is, a realm similar to the original intention of the mind—is probably also the key, or at least an important factor that cannot be ignored."

"External forces stimulate the blood and veins, while the mind connects with the source, thus forming the foundation of the divine."

Just as Chen Cong finished speaking and everyone was captivated by his profound words, another unexpected event occurred!

At this moment, a subtle distortion suddenly appeared in the space around Xiaoyi, who had already sat down quietly.

A clear, all-seeing spiritual wave naturally unfolded from between her brows, instantly transforming into a nearly transparent force field about ten feet in diameter.

This is precisely the Void Domain she possesses!
At this moment, due to the complete and thorough connection of one's true nature, one spontaneously awakens, and within this realm, perception becomes clear and the mind becomes refined and pure.

“A spiritual realm?! And of extremely high quality.” Bo Xian’er’s eyes flashed as she immediately recognized it. “A spiritual realm that can only be activated when the spirit is highly concentrated and pure… With such a realm nurturing her spiritual consciousness, it’s no wonder she can comprehend such a profound state of mind that specializes in ‘self-control’.”

Almost simultaneously, the evergreen vine that entwines around the wrist undergoes a dramatic change: its jade-like luster suddenly recedes into a deep, profound state, and the pale gold, mysterious patterns on the vine seem to penetrate deep into the wood grain like roots. A pure, heavy, and ever-flowing stream of life, refined by time, surges forth.

At the core of the pattern, nine pale golden illusory ring marks quietly appeared, each pulse resonating and sublimating with Xiaoyi's aura—this was the life intent she had long controlled, but now, under the absolute control of the spirit vine's true heart, these nine ring marks were pushed to an unprecedented peak of perfection.

Chen Hong stroked his beard and smiled, sincerely exclaiming, "Nine rings? We're only one step away from achieving that artistic conception."

"This...this child's understanding and control of the life force is indeed exceptionally gifted."

Here's a brief explanation: of Chen Xiaojun's four realms of intent, only the realm of unparalleled bravery of the Fish Intestine Sword, which erupts between life and death, with the Fish Intestine Sword simultaneously breaking free of its shackles and the two deeply merging, results in a fatal strike that directly breaks through to the formation of the intent, while the other three realms have not yet taken shape.

Elegance, deep love, and nobility—these three later realizations are not based on the original context and are still in the stage of a small state of mind.

Just as Xiao Yi reached her peak state of profound insight into the spiritual realm and a torrent of life's meaning surged forth, an even more astonishing transformation unfolded. The jade vine leaf phantoms surrounding her, conjured from soul power, suddenly differentiated into five distinct colors—red, yellow, gold, blue, and green—under the dual influence of the reflection of the Void Domain and the nourishment of the life source.

The five-colored radiance is not static, but rather follows a mysterious rhythm, interconnected and transforming with each other, endlessly cycling through life.

On Xiao Yi's body, the Dharma robe with external soul bones gradually appeared, shimmering with light, as if woven from celestial silkworm silk, covering her entire body and shimmering with a faint fluorescent glow.

Behind her, the Five Elements pattern slowly emerged, forming a perfect cycle.

The power of the five elements spread along the patterns on the robe, naturally outlining the five colors: crimson fire, thick earth, sharp metal, gentle water, and vibrant green. The five colors circulate and flow, creating a magnificent and profound effect.

As the clothes fluttered without wind, a powerful Daoist aura swept over them, embodying the principles of mutual generation, endless cycle, nourishment of life, and inexhaustible flow of the five elements!

"This... the five elements flow and generate each other endlessly?!" Chen Cong's gaze was fixed on the flowing five-colored halo, his voice trembling slightly with shock, "Ye Hua Ni Chang, the five elements make clothes... the meaning of endless flow and generation... such exquisite mutual generation and balance... she has suddenly comprehended the meaning of 'mutual generation of the five elements'?!"

Bo Xian'er focused her mind and sensed the vast perception of the Sea God Martial Soul, allowing her to clearly grasp the underlying laws: "The spiritual realm perceives the origin, the life realm lays the foundation, and the original heart governs and elevates... This garment is the manifestation of the true meaning of the Five Elements. Indeed, this is undoubtedly the 'true meaning of the mutual generation of the Five Elements' that resonates with the origin of her Martial Soul!"

As Chen Hong felt the vast aura that nourished all things and the clear force field that enveloped the courtyard, and then looked at the surging energy tide beneath Xiao Yi's serene face, his heart surged with emotion, and he exclaimed loudly: "Spiritual realm manifestation, life intention fulfillment, further comprehension of the five elements... This girl is truly an auspicious sign for the rise of my Chen family, may Heaven bless our clan!"

Chen Xiaojun stood aside, watching his girlfriend, who resembled a fairy in a painting amidst the energy ripples caused by her enlightenment. He felt both proud and amused.

He turned his head, inwardly muttering, "Good heavens, is this some kind of super-gift package of enlightenment? A single 'True Mind' state of mind even comes with three special effects, including the 'Realm Domain'..."

"Come on, our family's luck is really off the charts... Speaking of which, the clan's good fortune these past few years is probably almost catching up with the mysterious national fortune of our old home, the Eastern Great Kingdom."

He secretly rolled his eyes and suppressed the strange thought.

……

Chen Xiaojun's gaze was fixed on Xiaoyi, watching the Daoist aura and splendor flowing around her. He subconsciously murmured, "Tai Xu Domain, Life Realm, Five Elements True Meaning... Tai Xu, Life, Five Elements? Tai Xu... Five Elements?"

He pondered these words repeatedly, a thoughtful look on his face.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him—he clearly remembered that when the Yin-Yang Dao manifested, the Great Void and the Five Elements within it were indeed existences at opposite ends of the Dao, with contradictory natures.

“Second Uncle,” Chen Xiaojun immediately turned to Chen Cong, “you see, Xiao Yi’s Taixu Domain follows the path of illusion, while the Five Elements are the foundation of existence. These two are essentially opposites.”

"Presumably, this opposing collision itself was one of the key factors that helped her finally touch and activate the true meaning of the Five Elements."
